“Amazing food while we were visiting the area. Best service and the food presentation was perfection. Portions and pricing are both outstanding. 10/10 recommend.“

“Man, the food is delicious. Be ready to wait for your order. If you don't want to wait, call ahead. Yang fry rice is off the chain ⛓️ ? last dish I ordered was the Black Bean ? ?. Good stuff. The house beef was very flavorful. Order ahead if you don't want to wait.“

“Classic..................“

“Happy Hour at Artifact is the highlight of my week! I always look forward to those afternoons when I can wrap up an early day at work and walk over to unwind.

Kendra and Kelly are the best—they always greet me warmly and, knowing sparkling rosé is my go-to, pour a glass right after saying hello. The ambience is light and relaxing, and the conversation is consistently pleasant and entertaining—it’s the perfect way to transition from work mode to relaxation.

All of the food here is absolutely delicious, but the ahi crudo and beet salad are my favorites. They’re fresh, flavorful, and never disappoint.

Artifact has mastered the art of creating a welcoming, delicious, and enjoyable happy hour experience. Highly recommend!“

“Love you food! The dumplings are perfect! The Dan Dan noodles are a family favorite and I can’t get enough of the chili wonton! Love you guys!“

“Such a nice restaurant to visit. This is our 1st and it won't be our last because we really enjoyed the service and the intentiveness of our waiter which also spoke thai with my wife. The food was amazing that's why we will be coming back.“

“we just moved to the neighborhood...the crab fried rice was sooooo yummy .“

“Came on a whim with my wife and son for lunch. So glad we did! We got the soup dumplings, pork buns, fried dumplings, and scallion pancakes, all of which were excellent. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Definitely will be coming back!“

“Just keep in mind I came here on a Monday at 6 PM so we didn't have to wait for a table or battle for parking. This parking lot was not turned into a paid lot try. It's where Chorus and Hive are. It's still fairly new so the menu is slightly limited. We saw photos of dishes on the wall but were told they were not available until next year. The jjajangmyeon was slightly watery. I got the "meat" one so there were strips of grilled pork. My husband got the "spicy" one which was green chili on top. It was not crazy spicy according to him but it was not that painful spicy. We got the chili shrimp and I really liked that. It was crispy, fried jumbo shrimp over with sweet chili sauce on a bed of cabbage. It had enough heat making your lips feel some heat. I liked it even though it's not a fancy dish. If I don't have to come on a busy weekend night I'm down to come back.

Oh just be ready to order on really slow tablets but your order gets through as long you're patient with the tablets. The tables are far enough where you feel like you're not on top of each other like at other restaurants in Convoy.“

“I have been craving good Thai for a few years. I have tried some not good and some okay other places. Thai Time is so good. The aromas of the spices tortured my already empty stomach with the enticement of good food to come. I have fallen in love with the food and customer service. I will be back as my budget allows.“

“Everything noodles from all over Asia. Except, no pho. Mainly Thai and Chinese food.

We ordered:

-Spicy Szechuan chicken wontons: You could tell these were made fresh on the spot and frozen. Great size and spicy sauce.

-Fried chicken wings dirty flavor: 6 wings were evenly fried and had a dry rub.

-Dan Dan Noodles: Typical Dan Dan dish has the numbing spice but not these. It does have the peanut nutty sauce with ground pork and many slices of cha shu pork belly.

-Laksa curry noodle soup: This is a Malaysian dish that I don’t see often. It has coconut milk, lots of chicken and shrimp. Reminds me of Vietnamese noodles.

-Hainanese chicken over rice: Every time I see this dish, I would order it. It’s all in the sauce and I would have to say I was disappointed because it wasn’t the ginger scallion sauce. They use ginger garlic soy sauce. The steamed slices of chicken breast were really dry. Least favorite dish of all.

We ordered leave 3 spice for the dishes and wasn’t spicy. Only the spicy wonton had a tiny kick.

This place serves alcohol and has beer on tap as well Thai beer and non alcoholic drinks.

Looking forward to coming back to try other noodle dishes. I also loved that the prices are reasonable for the portions that you get.“

“Had an amazing meal at a Thai restaurant with TK as our server. TK's service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. The tiger shrimp was phenomenal, perfectly seasoned, and the vibe of the place was warm and inviting. Highly recommend!“

“2nd time here, trying to look for this specific dish my Neice made and I believe I found it. So the first one I thought was it, I ordered Pad Thai, was not what I was looking for, it was ok, but not the dish I was looking for. Today I finally found it. lol. I forgot the name, the chef told me and I already forgot, by the way, the chef and her dad are so lovely and nice. I’ll be coming back during my daughter’s soccer practices again to have more of this. 😁.“

“It was good“

“Deliciously flavorful. I ordered hand torned noodles with beef in mild spicy. Has the kick of spice without the stress. I was curious about the pork burger with the white bang - that was good too!

Noodles are soft, fresh, and chewy. Must come again.“

“My order was for takeout....and it was ready right on time. Everything was absolutely delicious and prices were good! The Satay chicken was tender and flavorful....Pad Woon Sen was fresh and light with crispy vegetables. Cream cheese wontons were great and served as dessert. The portions were generous with plenty left over for a second meal. Pretty sure Little Thai Kitchen is now my favorite Thai food spot!😊“

“Friendly and fast. The food was great!“

“Vegan ramen is amazing! Went there twice during my trip down there! Highly recommend!“

“Been eating here since I was about 5, now at 40 I could finish their bowl on my own thank goodness ?, thank goodness the flavor is still the same. Same owners/cook since i was 5,. Tried other restaurants in LA china town and still not as good as this one. Even though i live farther away mow, i still drive there to get their special noodle soup (been eating since i was 5), eveyone i introduced this restuarant too now loves it. People who loves pho, once they try there noodles soup they can't do pho anymore. Fried egg noodles soup also to die for, including their thick fried noodles, i can go on forever with all their different dishes that will show you what asain/homemade style food is. I've tasted many different chinese food from here to Seattle/Mexicali and this to me is still the restaurant that others try to match up too. ??????“

“Teriyaki chicken and The Spicy Ramen was delicious!!!“

“I picked up food from here for the first time tonight. Cashier was friendly & informative. Cute little restaurant. Pad See Ew was probably the best I’ve had in San Diego- SO many veggies (which was what I was craving). My husband gave the Bangkok Spice Noodles a 10. Headsup: if you don’t specify, food is at a 0 spice level (at least the dishes I ordered) I’m definitely coming back to see if they do as good a job on their Pad Woon Sen. Happy customer!“

“The food is always very fresh and delicious. They are very mindful about how spicy you would like. I don’t tolerate a lot of spice and they make sure they accommodate. And the customer service is exceptional.“

“Another hiding Chinese restaurant I haven’t tried was just around the corner. The first thing that caught my eye was the Roast Duck ?, although dry, I was looking for the sauce for it but there was none. My main go to was crispy friend noodles , I got the combination one , the combo was great but didn’t see much vegetables in it. My favorite that evening was the beef chow fun. I’m not a fan of fat noodles but this one ☝️ was good. Overall the food was great! I would like to try the other recipes. Go there and and bring your friends to try ?“

“Food is always good and Brady is a riot!!“

“The crab fried rice was full of crab meat and fresh veggies. You can get your spice level from 1-10. I chose medium, so about a 5 (which wasn't very spicy at all). Rice tastes really good with the sweet sauce drizzled on top. I also had the spicy sweet wings which were just the right amount of crispy and sweet.“

“Soooo yummy 😋 thank you for the delicious fresh thai food 😋❤️❤️ i went walking around the liberty market and decided to buy thai and some pasta from another restaurant ❤️😎
They are both deeeelicious 😋❤️ . It was very busy but if you kept moving and looking at the same time it wasn't that bad . The staff at this restaurant were so nice and helpful and moving so fast to get everyone's order out 😎👍

Vegetarian options: They have veggies or tofu for the opinions

Parking: Big parking lot around the whole campus , and its free😎

Kid-friendliness: Definitely 😁 because kids love soup and noodles

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes it is but it gets busy in the market , so it might be uncomfortable“

“The ramen is delicious, but if you're thinking of adding on broccolini skip it. They charge $1 for literally the smallest piece I've ever seen and when I called to voice my concern about feeling ripped off, they didn't care. I feel like if you're paying $20 for a bowl of ramen you should get what you pay for“

“อาหารอร่อยบริการรวดเร็วทันใจมากคะ“

“Excellent service in this spacious asian restaurant. They offer sushi, noodles & chinese food too. We had a very tasty combination sushi lunch, General Tso chicken w peanuts, steamed gyoza, egg drop soup. No waiting & lots of staff.“

“Food was delicious, we got the avocado curry, coconut rice and crying tiger steak, it was soooo good. Service was friendly, staff was attentive and customer service oriented. We definitely recommend this place as a meet up with coworkers and friends for something good to eat. You won't be disappointed.“

“We love Chiba! We lived here 8 years ago and we’re back. I am glad to see the food is still as delicious as I remember! The food was fast and I recommend the sushi! Also, our waitress was great!“

“When it’s cold and rainy or you just want some hot food to warm you up or test if you’s taste still works!!! Best place to be“

“The food is great! But the girl at the counter needs lessons in customer service and also an attitude adjustment. This is the only reason that deters me from going there more often.“

“The food here is absolutely phenomenal! This is the most authentic Thai food I've ever had in San Diego. This place is really a hole in a wall, and it could be hard to find. The Shrimp Pad Thai is one of the best I've ever had. Definitely my favorite place to get Thai food from now on.“

“Says Chinese food but also has Thai food but a bunch of Vietnamese writing. Red curry is spicy. They included tail on for shrimp in the curry. Kung pao chicken was crispy and had a nice amount of heat. Pork and Chinese broccoli was good. Thai noodles with beef needs improvement and more beef. They didn’t include rice with my curry and wanted to charge $2.75 for some which is absurd. Parking lot in back“

“Great meal tonight, love thid place“

“Friendly and fast. The food was great!“

“Wonderful food and service. Reasonable prices. Great presentation. Best fresh spring rolls I've had in a long time. A neighborhood gem! We'll be back.

Dietary restrictions: GF options not posted on the menu but they were able to accommodate my request.“

“Love going here! Been going here for years even before their renovations. Service has always been super attentive and the staff are so friendly. Favorite dumpling spot! We love the lamb dumplings. Their lunch specials are such a great deal!“

“I would 100% recommend these sushi. No but seriously, is there any negative I can point to about the sushi rolls I've had numerous times at this place?? NO! I even drive from Carlsbad to get them. which would maybe be a negative??“

“First I just want to say that it is not necessarily expected for Chinese service staff to be really friendly or accommodating, especially to white English speaking people...not because there is any intended rudeness, but because of language or cultural differences when it comes to restaurant etiquette, etc.

Having said that, the two waitresses that were on staff today were so nice and attentive and thoughtful. We loved their vibe.

This was my first time trying proper authentic Sichuan food after doing a ton of research on what to order (years of research technically, watching tons of channels on YouTube that cover this style of food), and although not every single item was made exactly as it might be traditionally made (the Fu Qi Fei Pian didn't have tongue, heart or tripe for example...it only had the thin slices of beef flank), I found that everything was very close to how it is made in China, or exactly as it should be.

We had the following (See pics with captions), and I recommend everything besides the stir fried potatoes (maybe there is a better way to get them than we did):

1. Mao Xue Wang
2. Shao Bai
3. Stir Fried Potatoes with vinegar
4. Fish & Tofu Mala (not sure of menu name)
5. Fu Qi Fei Pian
5. Special Sweet Rice Ball Soup (Dessert)

Everything tasted high quality and truly awesome. The portions were gigantic and definitely intended to be family style. We went crazy and spent $100 for the two of us, with drinks, and still had so much food left over that they had to put everything in a big cardboard box lol.

Oh and the weird looking fish eyeballs/egg soup looking thing is so strange but so lovely. We asked for a dessert and we were thinking we would get some kind of small piece of Chinese dessert like they do in America and other countries, but instead they brought out a steaming hot bowl of something I can barely describe (see pictures), but it was genuinely awesome and such a new experience for sure. Highly recommend trying it. You'll just have to see for yourself.

Can't wait to go back and try more. They have a gigantic and intriguing menu.“

“I had brunch here with my friend the other day. I haven't been here in years. The menu seems to be the same, but the food does taste a little different from what I remember.

The service was on point, and we stayed talking well past being done with our meal and the staff didn't make us feel rushed at all.

I ordered:
#25 the Skewered Satay Beef- the meatballs are not as firm as they were in the past, they completely fall apart when you cut them in half. But they were good.
#14A House Special Satay Pho- this was so great, flavorful and really filling. I loved it.
Thai Iced Tea to-go - very tasty, exactly what I was hoping for.

Parking was easy, there are lots of spots. The vibe was casual.“

“🙂👍 Kai and her staff are awesome and do a great job!“

“I went in and ordered for takeout. Besides the fact that all the employees stopped and looked at me like I was a mass murderer, my food came out in ten minutes. My wings were hot, crispy and delicious. My vegetable soft noodles were so good. Food is fantastic.“

“Loved the vibe in the restaurant! The food was so delicious, fresh and fast. We barely waited any time at all for the food. Good portions as well! We will definitely go back before we leave San Diego.“
