Lovely employees. Food is always wonderful. Large portions; reasonable prices. Never super-crowded.

I have written a yelp review about their food. I love their plum sauce and that’s saying quite a bit as I am not a fan of the usual sweet side sauces. This one is different though. Their Pad Kee Mao or spicy noodles is honestly so good. Their noodles aren’t mushy (they are perfect) like so many restaurants have let them get, and their food is always served hot.

Best Thai food I’ve ever had

The food and people here are absolutely amazing. Super authentic, delicious Thai food that never disappoints, for reasonable prices. Always fresh made to order. Best I’ve had in San Diego, by far. Waiters are very fun and nice as well. Best Thai place in San Diego. Highly recommend!!

BEWARE - PRICES ARE DOUBLE WHAT IS SHOWN ONLINE. I was in the area andwas craving Thai food. This showed up on my search, so I pulled up their website, made a selection and called the number listed. When arriving, the total they tried to charge me was double what was listed on the website. When I question them, they said the website hadn't been updated in many years. How would I have known that?! They said if I had told them I was ordering off the website they would have told me the price was now double, and that if I don't like it, I can leave the food. That's exactly what I did. What a shame and what poor customer service.

The food was amazing! 👌🏼 The spice level was perfect! The only downside was that the lady serving us seemed a bit grumpy.

Best Thai food I have ever had. I love the green curry and thai tea. The owner is so nice. It is always a wonderful experience when I stop in to eat. The dumplings are also super yummy.

Though I've been going to this place for years and they have modified orders to be gluten free, I had THE worst restaurant experience of my life today. I am pregnant and craving Thai. My husband calls to make my usual order. There are 2 women who usually work here. One is the nicest lady in the world and super accommodating. The other is a grumpy hag that always tells me it won't taste good gluten free and I tell her thanks but I just put tamari on it and it's great. Well tonight she told my husband that the chef refused to make it. 2 of the 4 things we were ordering already come gluten free. They just had to leave out soy and oyster sauce on the other 2. Never been a problem before. He called and tried again and she refused again and said the owner said they were "too busy". She refused to let him talk to anyone else. He even told them his wife is pregnant and we have ordered these same items many times before. I have NEVER had such poor service in my life. Sadly, this place WAS the best option for GF thai food in Escondido. I will not be going back, even though I was always happy with everything we ordered.

Best Thai food in San Diego County!

Went there for dinner on Saturday night. Have plenty of parking looks like a ghost town, food didn’t take that long but waiter just took the order and drop off the food and disappeared, should have checked the water and after drop off the food do we need anything, or how is the food? Food was better than the service, except the egg roll not sure they buy it or make it need the check on the salt. We both felt little too salty.

Absolutely Delicious! I stumbled across this gem and was absolutely blown away!! This establishment was clean, and the guest service amazing. As soon as I entered I was greeted right away. The food was absolutely delicious!!! I couldn’t put my fork down it was so good. I’ve had Thai food from many establishments in San Diego and neighboring cities but nothing comes close to this place. I’ve had mediocre experiences, but this place I had to write a review about

The best Thai food I ever had (or was I just hungry?). The salad dressing was so good and the curries were out of the worldly
