50 Best Thai Restaurants near National City

“Customer Service plus. Friendly, helpful, explained the ingredients in each of our selections to make sure were not allergic to anything (we’re not). Did I mention she had a cheerful personality? Ordered food, given a device that buzzed when our food was ready. Our food was so fresh, hot off the grill. She provided extra spice and chilies, sauce to increase the heat. Excellent quality. The Tom Kha soup had a slightly different taste than we are use to, but not a bad variation. Wife got the fried rice with shrimp, I got the Pad Thai with chicken. The 3 items were very filling. The open venue with long tables, couches, etc for seating and large roll-up windows provided the indoor/outdoor environment. Very enjoyable meal.“

“I couldn't leave the 5 star review fast enough. Must go thai place for this area. From my very first bite I knew the food was gonna be delicious and it was. Everything was tasty and perfect. I already want to go back and actually eat-in at the restaurant since it gave very calm and cozy energy. Reasonably priced. Five stars“

“This family run restaurant has excellent food, really nice ambiance, and great, friendly service. Zen was our server tonight and he had a great attitude and was very attentive even though the restaurant was full. The fresh shrimp spring rolls, Panang curry, Spicy fried rice, and Pad See Ew were all amazing.“

“Really lovely people. We had a large group and they were very attentive, even gave us free edamame to try since she said it’s their most popular appetizer and it was all delicious. The sushi was pretty average tasting, but definitely better than other spots in this area. Our friends also tried the pad thai, cho mein, crab fried rice, mango sticky rice, thai iced tea, all was very delicious. We will definitely be going back“

“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.“

“Here we are again having another fabulous meal prepared for us. But's this time There was a party of maybe 6 women and they prefer to have the other entrance open so my wife froze her butt off for the whole meal it seems like it was below 0 degrees but all in all we still had a great meal. Maybe I should have said something to our waitress but I didn't want to upset the girls.“

“Always excellent food and service. Great pad Thai and Great Yellow Curry. A favorite.“

“Cool place for amazing dishes. Spice levels are off the charts ??. Yellow curry is my favorite dish and it's easy to order by phone or online. Quick service and the food is always piping hot.

Parking: They don't have their own lot, so you have to park on the street but being patient helps.“

“Best Thai food in SD and Mama is so sweet and attentive. The spice level is real hot and goes from 1-10 but a 2 is a 7 at other Thai restaurants. I made the mis8of ordering a 4 heat level and she warned me and I paid the price of sweating on the spot so I now order my food at a 2 which is perfect for me.“

“This place has been my favorite restaurant of the pandemic and will stay that way after, too!“

“We really enjoy dining at this restaurant. The food is always delicious and the staff members are always friendly. We have never had a bad experience at the restaurant. I will admit it does take some time to get your food, but this restaurant is always busy, especially with the numerous take out orders that are placed, so have patience. The staff members are doing their best.“

“If you're looking for the best Thai dining experience in town, look no further than Thai Time North Park ! The moment you step in, you're greeted by an inviting atmosphere and trendy decor. The service is impeccable; the staff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready with a smile. Our servers went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The food is nothing short of spectacular. We started with the fresh spring rolls, which were bursting with flavor. The Pad Thai was perfectly balanced with the right amount of sweetness and spice, the Larb was rich and aromatic and the signature chef Poke one of a kind. What really sets Thai Time apart are the little extras. We were treated to a complimentary Cucumber Gimlet drink. In short, Thai Time offers the perfect combination of delectable food, outstanding service, and a charming ambiance. It's a must-visit for anyone craving an authentic Thai dining experience. We would easily give Thai Time a 5-star rating for its exceptional dining experience. Do yourself a favor and visit – you won’t be disappointed!"“

“Ordered takeout from Corner Thai Kitchen and loved it! We had the crab fried rice with the pad see ew with mock duck and it was perfect. Nice portion sizes that are sure to leave you stuffed. The staff was very friendly and didn’t need to wait long for my order. They have an outdoor patio as well that is dog friendly. Recommend if you’re looking for some great Thai food!“

“First time back after a couple years and the food still tastes the same. The place still looks the same. Staff are still friendly and service is fast. We like ordering their fried rice dishes and noodles when we go. There are a couple parking spots available in the front. We parked at a public parking lot a few blocks away on the same street and the walk was very pleasant, with more places to see and try next time when in NP.

Spicy is SPICY here, if you wish..but not necessary.“

“Loved the food here!! It is a small but clean and cute restaurant the food is so good! I called in my order with no problem. The service is excellent! Very friendly and welcoming. We tried the larb salad, red and green curry, pad see ew noodle, curry puffs and we were not disappointed! The Curry puffs are a must try!!! I've never seen them at any other Thai place before, my all time favorite!!! I love quaint places like this! We will definitely be returning! It's in a small shopping center so lots of parking is available. Lots of options on the menu and not overpriced. I look forward to trying the pineapple fried rice next time.“

“YUMMY!! Best Thai Food in Chula Vista so far! :)“

“The best Thai food in downtown San Diego. The people that work there are so lovely and nice. The place itself is so cozy. Also they have a spice level of 1-10, making it so accommodating. The Thai Iced Tea is also phenomenal, especially on hot days.“

“A food stall located within the Liberty Station Public Market. Staff were friendly and welcoming. My crab fried rice was ready in about 10-15 minutes after I ordered and it was delicious! I loved how they used actual crab meat and not imitation. The rice was well seasoned. I shared this dish with my daughter so I couldn’t order it spicy, but definitely will next time. I paid about $25 for the rice, soda and tip.“

“Amazing Thai food, definitely will go back. We got the drunken noodles with tofu-so much food and great flavoring and texture in the noodles. Got two curries for parents that are very picky (chicken Panang and shrimp red). They loved both the curries. I got a Pad Ka Pao with chicken-amazing. Crab Rangoon was also lightly breaded and the filling was good. Also got some great Thai teas! Highly recommended!!!

Vegetarian options: Tofu is the primary veggie choice.“

“Ordered takeout to my hotel. Food arrived very quickly via Uber eats and was delicious. I ordered Chicken Pad Thai with veggies. I wanted a hint of spice so I only picked 1/10, but it was more like a 4/10 or so. Next time I will order no spice. But all and all I really liked it. The mango sticky rice was also amazing!“

“อาหารอร่อยบริการรวดเร็วทันใจมากคะ“

“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.“

“Why do they charge $2 for rice when you order curry???
People don't eat curry by itself. I've eaten in restaurants in North, Central, and South Thailand, and in Thai restaurants up and down the US East and West coasts, and all included rice in their curry entrees. This seems unnecessarily greedy. Our Thai friends find it weird and unacceptable. Otherwise, the food is authentic and delicious. Our friends got Red Curry Beef and Green Curry Chicken. We got Crispy Rice Salad and Beef Boat Noodles Soup. They all were very good and authentic. The atmosphere is great, making you feel like you stepped into a local restaurant in Northern Eastern Thailand. Minus one star for charging $2 for rice that should be included with curries.

Parking: Plenty of parking in the shared shopping center parking lot.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible parking, entrance, and seating.“

“Excellent Thai Cusine. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.“

“By far the Best Thai food in San Diego !! don't miss out.“

“The food is excellent.I feel like the guy that works here is always busy, so don't go in expecting to be pampered, but he'll get you your food and water when you need it and it will be delicious.I've tried the Pad Thai, Panang Curry, and the Pineapple Chicken Fried Rice so far and it's all delicious. I was making my way through the menu each time I go but I'm just so hooked to the Pineapple Fried Rice that I've stopped trying other options there. My friends love what they get too.Plus, it's quiet as I believe most people just order out, so it's a great place to catch up with a friend.“

“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 is just perfect,good portions“

“I've been trying to find a good Thai place. Thank you guys for the delicious spicy beef fried rice!!“

“Great meal tonight, love thid place“
