Came here for a late lunch with three friends. Ordered pad see-ew with tofu, beef drunken noodles, calamari pad Thai, curry with beef, and basil eggplant to share (not pictured). My drunken noodles were top notch, although some morsels of beef were *very* tough. Our shared eggplant dish was great; nice texture and an amazing sauce to mix with a side of rice. As for the rest, a generally positive consensus—good flavors (but slightly muted), great portion sizes, and as authentic as it can get!Loved the hospitality, the silverware, the seating (which is cushioned if dining outdoors), and the overall peaceful vibe. Even though the location is tucked away, come here if you want a leisurely luncheon! It may even be a nice date spot too. Just make sure to bring around $25 per person; our bill split perfectly somehow ($100.44).Vegetarian options: Your selection of protein can be vegetarian (e.g. veg, tofu), but a dish can be vegetarian on request or from the dish description.

The service is extremely disappointing, despite the food being delectable. My partner and I came here for dinner last night and the girl who was our server never checked up on us, but tended to everyone else. We can’t help but to think it’s because we didn’t seem as “wealthy” as everyone in the restaurant. We tipped her 20% although she probably didn’t deserve it.

Although the prices have increased recently due to inflation the customer service and flavors in the food never fail to exceed my expectations. The wide variety of foods means that you can always find what you are craving. Each dish is a bomb of flavor and the staff is extremely helpful.

The waiter assured us that he understood gluten free and that all my daughter’s food would be made without wheat or soy sauce. Well 2 hours after dinner, she had been throwing up continuously. They are over confident in their understanding of gluten allergies- in a way that is dangerous.

Super duper yummy for your tummy restaurant with great service provided by our server Nghi! I would highly recommend the Panang Beef curry as the beef is super soft and tender, and the curry flavor is what you would expect. I've also tried some of the noodle and rice dishes, but really nothing can compare to the sweet joy I get when that luscious beef touches my taste buds. You have to get the Panang Beef curry here!! They are generous with the portions as well.

My favorite Thai restaurant in La Jolla.Highly recommend getting lunch or dinner here.
I am a big fan of thai food but am a bit picky. This place blew my mind. I had never had Panag beef curry but I decided to go out on a limb. My husband and I absolutely loved the deep sumptuous flavor of the meat, which was also tender and spiced well. I ate it all. I love that the location is sort of hidden, like a diamond in the rough. It would be a great location for 1st date. If you sit outside, try to sit in the shade as it can get hot in the sun. They do have some flies too but nothing alarming. We talk about this place all the time and will be back soon.

This place is located in an isolated and unusual spot but loved the approach and the views along the way. Huge plus for us, they have a ton of lovely outdoor seating, lovely atmosphere with lights and succulents on the walls. And they are pet friendly- brought a bowl of water for our dog even without asking! Food was delicious, the pineapple fried rice is really good and a must have! The Panang curry was very flavorful and the beef was cooked perfectly. We also had pad Thai, drunken noodles and chicken wings- all good, large portions served family style. The service was slow- even though there was no wait, took a while to seat us- folks were just not making eye contact. Then we had to wait a while before the server showed up but once they took our order, things got rocking and rolling. Certainly the kind of place I'd go back to when I'm in the area and craving Thai food.

Had a ton of food. Really cute hidden gem. The day we went, we froze. It gets super windy in that little corridor. Great service. We had asparagus and shrimp. Wholly cow, there was probably a whole bunch or whatever you call the bundle of asparagus. Cute little yummy mushrooms and cilantro in there also. The sauce was flavorful and made the dish.I had the chicken curry lunch and it came with the best tom yum soup. Same bunch of mushrooms and tofu. So very flavorful. It packed a punch and had the right amount of sour. Huge pile of rice and a very nice, bright salad. Of course the dressing was key. The shrimp lettuce wraps were great. Scallion and red onion on a crisp bed of lettuce. The Som Tom salad was really great! I hesitate to get this because a lot of places don't shred the papaya thin enough. This was thin, very tart and lime forward. Peanuts for crunch, carrots and tomato made this one of my favorites. So happy I was turned onto this little hidden place of goodness.
