Really love this place! Has a cozy garden outdoor seating area with friendly staff and great food. Our favorites are the fresh spring rolls and pad see ew vegan style and yellow curry! Even my toddler loves it. I stop by most times I’m in La Jolla

The drinks were good, the steak that I got was very tender though. The steak felt like it was 80% fat but the real steak parts tasted good! And the rice is okay!

Food was very good.
Servers were good.
The place is cute but one point less: the tables were not clean and the bathrooms are in bad shape.

My wife and I come to eat here regularly or to pick up food. All the dishes we have tried so far have been very flavorful, the outdoor patio is nice, and the service is great - very friendly too. What we appreciate most is their willingness to modify dishes to accommodate my wife’s dietary restrictions, which means the dishes are made from scratch and not pre-made.

We recently dined at Tumeric Thai after a few months absence. It was fairly busy on a Sunday, but we were seated quickly at a very nice patio table Our waiter, Bryan, arrived at the table with a big smile and a friendly word. He efficiently took our order and sent it to the kitchen.We had the shortest wait of all our visits to Tumeric Thai and the food arrived very fresh and hot. I had my usual Spicy Ginger Fish which was moist and covered with juicy vegetables and a wonderful abundance of fresh ginger. This was our best experience yet, mainly due to our waiter, Bryan. We will not wait so long to return! Great food and wonderful staff!

Found this spot from a Reddit thread suggestion. Didn’t disappoint. Good food, quiet and quaint atmosphere and good service. Super cute hidden and local spot💛

I ordered online and it took ONE HOUR for it to be ready. I had to check with the host multiple times and it seemed like they were cooking one dish at a time. So when we got all our food, some of the dishes were cold. Ridiculous. I’m not coming back here.

UPDATE: I’m one of those people who care more about the food than the service so here we go.

Food review: Food was disappointing. The noodles for the Pad Thai were too overcooked and soft. Pad see ew was decent but not amazing. Drunken noodles were my favorite of all the noodles but I’ve had better. Papaya salad came with 2 quarter-sliced lettuce that took up half the container, so that was disappointing. Tom yum soup was good but I’ve never had a bad one before. Overall, I wouldn’t come back here even if the food came out quickly.

The portion sizes didn’t match the price, flavour was good. It’s a nice, quiet environment but it would not be my first pick for good thai food.

This place was nice. I got the pad see ew with shrimp, papaya salad, and chicken satay. The food wasn’t completely suited to my tastes as I wanted a bit more fish flavor in the salad and the pad see ew, but the shrimp in the pad see ew was delicious and the servings were big. For those that like their food a bit less sweet and salty, this place would be great. It’s all up to preference.
