50 Best Thai Restaurants near National City

“i tried ping yang on my lunch break today. it’s in a cute and chill market space, seems great for an office lunch out or families. the thai family who run it are really sweet and they were happy to help me pick something to try. ive had a lot of great thai food before, and this place is amazing! i ordered their honey pork rice and LOVE it- it reminds me of other thai bbq pork dishes ive had but the flavor here is beautifully complex with a really perfect hint of black pepper. i also had the chicken teriyaki gyoza, and it is extra crunchy and fantastic. i’ll definitely be back to try their pork belly dish, it looks super good!“

“always fresh and delicious“

“My wife took me here and let me say...the flavors are out of this world delicious! I had the grilled King Oyster Mushroom with Khao Soi curry (medium spice), egg noodles and a fried egg to top! It was so good I had to drink the essence from the bowl!!!! Service was great! The atmosphere was a vibe and they played bossa nova like music so it added to the experience! I would definitely come back! Matter of fact I will be back!“

We ordered the drunken noodles, the salmon fried rice, and the spring rolls. Everything was really good and full of flavors. Our favorite was the salmon fried rice. Liked it more than I anticipated.“

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.“

There is a lot of positive energy in the restaurant and every member of the waitstaff has been very efficient. I especially recommend the waitress T.K. She is very personable, while also being very efficient. She knows the food thoroughly and can give very good recommendations. Supannee is now our go to Thai restaurant. We've taken several people with us and they have all been very impressed. Go, eat, enjoy.“

“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!"“

“I went there to eat with a coworker for lunch earlier today. It was my very first time having been there. I was recommended by a couple of my friends. The restaurant was pretty spacious and the staff were very friendly. I ordered the laab seen (ລາບຊີ້ນ) a Lao minced beef salad and the tom khueng nai (ຕົ້ມເຄື່ອງໃນ) a Lao beef innards soup with some sticky rice. Lunch was delicious. I will definitely be going back there again. I will be bringing my mom. She was actually the person that had brought up this place to me before as well. See you again in the near future.“

“Favorite restaurant in the world! Such amazing, happy service. Incredible flavorful vegan food. The bubble teas are excellent to enjoy while eating. Perfect for a romantic experience. They sang happy birthday! For being top quality, it's also amazingly affordable. Enjoy!!!!“

“Nice spot with eclectic decor, really nice people and very flavorful food. I’ll be back!“

“The food is just perfect,good portions“

“Probably the most affordable stall in the food court, for the amount of fried rice you get it's congruent to the price point, unlike other places that are pretty pricey but smaller portions than expected. The thai milk tea is pretty frickin pricey.

Crab rangoon roll is exactly what it is, I was impressed with how it stayed crispy throughout its length. Its pretty monoflavored though, so the sweet and sour sauce helped me finish it. Recommend splitting it with two people.

Fried rice was surprisingly delicious and ridiculously huge. It was like the second cheapest option on the menu and I'm pretty sure there was curry powder. You can adjust the spice level and I liked that it came with fresh cucumber garnish.

If I ever find myself back in Liberty Station and im starving, this would be my go to, that rice lasted me the whole day.“

“Delicious food, great service and amazing value. This unassuming spot just a bit outside of the busy gaslamp district was a great find. 2 entrees and an appetizer was somehow under $40 - we had drunken noodles, Thai basil chicken and Spring rolls.“

“Outstanding Thai food and friendly people. Such a great experience i came twice in three days!“

“We came across this restaurant and decided to give it a try. As someone who is Thai, I’m usually very selective about Thai restaurants because we cook Thai food at home all the time. But Corner Thai Kitchen truly impressed me. The flavors were authentic, well-balanced, and the ingredients tasted fresh. Everything was delicious, and I would highly recommmend this place!“

“Conveniently located for those of us working in Downtown San Diego, Thotsakan is a great place to grab a tasty lunch affordably and in time to get back to work by the end of one's lunch break. Their pumpkin curry, drunken noodles, and choo chee salmon lunch specials are especially good :)“

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

“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.“

“Really delicious and reasonably priced food. Love the fusion style. The Tokyo fries are one of my absolute fav things on the menu. As well as the fried kale and Banh mi 🤤 Decent beer, wine, teas, and specialty drinks.“
