The food is always delicious and the staff is helpful. There’s maybe an eight minute wait from the time you order tell your food is ready. My go to place when I don’t wanna cook

This was an excellent find. The food was outstanding and reasonably priced. The service was quick and friendly. My group of 3 was very comfortable at our table. We all would happily come again and recommend it to others. I particularly enjoyed my drunken noodles.

I was attracted by the giant Boba sculpture out front. 😄 the yellow curry was really delicious, great flavor with just a little bit of heat. We also got an order of the shrimp spring rolls. They were a little sticky (normal for rice paper) but the rolls and the peanut sauce were really good. Friendly Service as well

I'd say 2.5 stars as I see this place as half as good as it could be. I've been ordering delivery from them via Uber Eats when I have a craving for thai food. Only reason why I don't order from Thai Kitchen instead is because they don't offer delivery for some reason. The food is just ok. It's a little overpriced for what it is and if you aren't getting delivery and are eating in person then Thai Kitchen is a much better option in Escondido. Only issue I've run into is they were out of a drink I wanted one time and they didn't inform me of this and just subbed the drink with something completely different. I'd rather they contacted me and refunded me. The red curry is the only thing worth getting here in my opinion. I'd say they have some pretty bad pad Thai here and I'm not sure how anyone can mess it up.

Everything I've ordered from Kinaly has been outstanding in the flavor department. I've been patronizing them for, oh, maybe 4 years now? Honestly I've only tried a fraction of the menu - I've had maybe 1/3 of the starters and have mostly eaten the noodle dishes. The pad thai and pad see ewe are excellent! And they come out of the kitchen piping hot - hot enough, in fact, to stay warm for the 30 minutes it takes to get back to Valley Center.

Edit: I thought portions had gotten smaller, but I think it was just a fluke a couple of times in a row. Since those purchases, the portions are back to what they've always been! Enjoy a hearty meal.

The service is always friendly and fast! I've always gotten take-out so I can't really speak to the atmosphere, but the restaurant is clean and pretty chill, so I have no complaints.

Bottom line - if you're looking for some solid, reasonably-priced thai food, you can't go wrong with Kinaly. Do it, you won't be disappointed!

Nice people but for the price of one order of what looked like miniature chicken nuggets dominated by white rice, you can get enough chicken to feed a family of three at the Chinese restaurant located in the same shopping center. Super disappointed.

Cute place, good food. Portions are generous.

Absolutely loved the experience here! 🌟 The service was warm and attentive — everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The pineapple curry 🍛🍍 was bursting with flavor — sweet, spicy, and perfectly balanced. Definitely a must-try!

The Pad See Ew was decent, though it could use a bit of an upgrade — needs a bit more adjusting to get it just right. Still enjoyable, just not the star of the meal.

The Thai tea 🧋 was on the lighter side — not as strong as I usually like, but still refreshing and paired nicely with the food. There were many options to try and everything looked delicious.

On top of all that, the ambience is lovely — beautifully decorated with a warm, cozy vibe. 🪷✨ It really adds to the overall dining experience.

Definitely recommended giving it a try 🙌🇹🇭

I’ve done takeout a few times and the chicken pad Thai was great both times. Medium spicy is nice and spicy but not too hot. Generous amount of chicken. Def my go to place.

Tom and Tsu were amazing…organized, efficient and talented. We enjoyed all our dishes (vibrant and authentic taste of
Asia). Excellent flavor and commendable service. I suggest you try it today.

Best Thai food in town…good menu.. friendly staff

This place makes the most authentic Thai/Laotian dishes in the entire Escondido! The guy working there was very friendly and service was fast even though it was only him working when I went there. I only ordered a spicy Thai fried rice but it was the most amazing Thai fried rice I’ve ever had! I eat Thai food on a regular basis and tried it all over the world but hands down the one here was the best. Portion was very reasonable for the price too.
