“This is my second time coming in with my family. Again, we loved how clean and spaced out the place was. The food was delicious as last time! This time the crab fried rice was not so salty. I appreciate how there is actual crab in the food and makes the flavors more vibrant. We ordered drunken noodles, chicken pad Thai, crab wonton, yellow curry. I tried some new things such as the crab wonton and it's about 5 pieces. In terms of service, I noticed that our server did so much for the restaurant. She took phone call orders, managed take out service, and served tables all at the same time. She mentioned that her restaurant is still new but she did so well multitasking. She was very humble. She did her best to take care of us and was so sweet about not wanting to accept my tip even though she basically managed the place entirely. She mentioned how her staff deserved all the money and I was insistent that she take it too! She may not have been able to take care of us the whole time, but she was always generous about giving us utensils and even listened and conversed with us when she had a million things to do. I hope this business stays for a long time (forever hopefully) knowing that there are good people like her managing this place. Just a suggestion to Palm Thai Cafe: maybe have utensils and napkins out so customers can grab as much as they need! Might help take a load off your busy plate. Thanks again! See you all soon.“
“It is an inviting place, as soon as you walk in the flower hanging over the ceiling. It looks like you are inside of a garden. Waitress was very friendly and she was often checking on us to see if we needed anything. The food was excellent and the portion was good to share with 2 if you want to try different things on the menu. Crab fried rice was a very big portion. Enough for more than 2 people to share.“
“This is probably my favorite restaurant in San Diego. I love Thai food and have never had any this good! Definitely worth the price. My favorites are the Hat Yai Fried Chicken and the Grilled Angus New York Steak (over beef tallow fried rice). The ambiance is great, though it gets busy on weekends (so you probably want a reservation).“
“The tuna flower cups were the most insane thing I’ve eaten in a long time. I haven’t had fish in over a decade and so I can’t be trusted really when I say “wow that tastes just like fish!” But my fish eating partner had the same reaction as well. Do not miss that dish! The chicken satay appetizer was also amazing, haven’t had something like that before. Also got the spring rolls and the tangerine chicken dish. The waiter was attentive and really nice, helped us out with our different allergies and restrictions.“
“Went here for Galentines, and the food was amazing. There was no wait, and our server was super nice. A bit short staffed, but he made sure everyone was talen care of! The place is super cute and small! The food was delicious. Loved the Tom Yum wings and Basil Beef.“
“Great service, not the best looking location, but some pretty darn good food! I’m petty picky about my pad Thai and they made it just right. Location isn’t the best looking but that’s not what we fatties are here for right!!!? Highly recommend :)“
“Absolutely tasty food! This just went to my topmost Thai restaurant. Had a try of the Mango, Red and Green curries and loved them all but my best was the green curry. It was delightfully flavorsome and delicious. Generous portions and guilt-free!Great for our kids too so a big plus!“
“What a charming spot! Visited on a leisurely Saturday afternoon and were seated right away. Ordering at the counter was a breeze, and then we chose our own cozy spot. The selection of kombucha on tap caught my eye, though they also offer beer and wine.We indulged in the Tokyo fries, bahn mi, and tom kah soup. Each dish arrived at the perfect temperature and bursting with flavor. The friendly service added to the delightful experience. I'd definitely come back for more!“
“One of the better Thai places in this area of Chula Vista. They used to have a really good papaya salad, that I would recommend coming here on its own, but the version I had recently seems less cohesive and a little less freshly cut. The fried chicken dishes here are pretty good. Indoor seating is a little “
“I was there for take-out twice, so I have more experience w the service and food. About the food, it's fantastic. I felt like Laoatian has a ton of similarities with Thai. But even the, this was some of the best I've had, even in Thailand. I'm sure I picked the wrong places.“
“Great spot! I pulled into the parking lot to go to the taco shop next door, but when I saw this place, I recognized the name from Uber Eats. I moved into the neighborhood recently, so I'm still learning about my new local options. I ordered a curry dish, yellow, with brown rice and mock duck as the protein. It was great! I ordered to go but hung out while I waited. I caught the end of the Michigan University championship game. I noticed the place was clean, had a nice vibe, and the seating was comfortable. It might be a place where I would watch another game. Most people don't think of watching sports at a Thai restaurant. I'm anxious to try some of the other dishes. What I ordered was flavorsome, tender, and packaged well. I will return“
“I got their Tofu Pad See Ew and it was extremely flavorful. Their mild spice level added some great flavor without being too spicy.I like how this location has outdoor seating and can accommodate a larger group (10 people), compared to their original location.The staff made our meals in a relatively quick time period but still maintained it's great quality.“
“This place has the best Pad Thai I’ve ever had. It was so good that the first time we had it we went back the next day. Their service is amazing too. We chatted with who we assume is the owner a bit and he was super cool and friendly. Highly recommend.“
“BEST PAD THAI IN TOWN. If I'm craving pad Thai this is where I order from. Has a flame grilled BBQ flavor - it's not too sweet or slimy. Most pad Thai tastes like straight up ketchup to me or has a weird off putting flavor / smell. I didn't care for the cream cheese wontons here, but NBD because the pad Thai is so good!“
“We went to the one in IB the coast Aroma Thai and we got there 40min before closing time and they denied us service saying it was too late and would not get to us. So we decided to go to Siam Imperial and I don't regret it one bit! The food was flawless amazingly good and the service too notch!!! Food came out quick and te flavors were just perfect! Will def come back this place has earned my trust all the way! Highly recommend it!“
“What. A. Burger! A Spicy Pad Kaprao Pork Burger with a very flavorful spice that was out of this world. Sticky rice for the bun took it over the top in a way that I've never thought to try. The fried egg was the finishing touch that will get me back in the ship.“

“This place was SO amazing! Every dish was so thoughtfully crafted and creatively presented (all paired with a beautiful edible flower) The portions were perfect, prices were very fair, the ambiance of the restaurant reflected the taste of love within the food. Highly recommend.Vegetarian options: Mango curryPapaya SaladGuava SaladGreen SaladVeggie EggrollsAnd more!“
“Walked in on a Saturday day and got the last available table right away. Our server was excellent! Served us right away and the food came out SO QUICKLY.No exaggeration, this was the best Thai food we’ve ever had (and my wife and I spent months in Thailand last year). It tastes fresh and the flavours are amazing. I strongly recommend!We split this amount between 4 of us, but I suggest more food and variety. We saved our appetite for desert elsewhere after dinner, but sort of regret not trying more things.“
“Food is always on point and authentic. You can just smell it when you walk in that it’s the real deal. Absolutely love the taro milk tea here! The peanut sauce is the best - they add enough spice and flavor to it. They put effort in seasonal decorations, keeping the place neat, and just the overall atmosphere is nice. One of our favorite Thai places for sure.“
“My wife and I were in town for a conference, it was a little further from our hotel, but it got decent reviews so we thought we would try it. Man did it not disappoint! Some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had, and the service was amazing! The food was much more affordable than it has right to be. I will be going back the next time I’m in town!“
“I came here for lunch. I had the drunken noodle with chicken and fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce. The drunken noodle was really flavorful and fresh. The fresh spring rolls with the peanut sauce was a really nice touch. The peanut sauce is one of the best I've ever had. The waiter was really nice and on top of what we needed. The inside is really clean and the seating is just right. I would highly recommend you come check this place out. I will be back again thank you for taking care of me“
“We wandered in at about 7pm for dinner one night and were easily greeted and sat almost immediately. It's small, but well decorated and is a classy spot.Staff were super attentive and friendly and all our food was out quickly.I had an unsweet iced Thai tea (large and delicious) and we got steamed dumplings, duck, and chicken Pad Thai.One of the best servings of Pad Thai I've ever had! All the food was wonderful, including the dumplings. Hubs loved his duck and nearly cleaned his plate (rare for him).They have a charming patio but it was too cold on the December night we visited.Happily a new fav in Coronado for dinner. Run, don't walk!“
“Cute little place with tasty dishes. Ordered the Pad Ped with chicken that came with white rice. This is the first time trying it and it was GOOD! Also ordered the Kao Soi tofu and veggie. Delicious yellow curry sauce and the noodle were perfectly cooked. We will be returning to try more things on the menu“
“Best vegan Thai food in El Cajon! I definitely recommend coming to dine in I love the decor and felt a light energy. Service was prompt and courteous and the option of the all vegan menu and delicious Thai tea has now ensured I will keep coming back. Thank you thank you thank you ??Vegetarian options: New optional all vegan options !Dietary restrictions: Vegan availableParking: Parking is in the back and there are plenty of spaces.“
“Love this little spot for Thai. They are very friendly and they have great dishes. I always see the place packed. Be careful or patient when coming at busy times because they do have limited seating but it is worth it.Parking: Plenty of lot parkingKid-friendliness: Yes“
“Wow! Don't hesitate- Best Thai food ever. I ordered tickets go and the customer service was so sweet and nice eventhough it was a busy Friday night. Pesca vegan diner - I ordered with a plan for the leftovers. Vegan pineapple rice, salad with peanutdressing, green curry with shrimp added and panamg curry. This is the most savory food I think I've had, ever. Thank you!!“
“Delicious food made with love and care! I love this family owned Thai place. The restaurant is a little cozy so it may be better for take out. The portions were good and the taste was phenomenal! I'll definitely be back. Thank you for your service!“
“I ordered the red curry and Tom kha soup because it's my favorite when I'm not feeling well. The dishes did not disappoint! They arrived fast and the price was tasty, too. Spicy level 1 is all you need, unless you are part dragon.“
“Honestly, I was a bit surprised by this place, considering its touristy location!I did stop by here, around 2pm, so it wasn't crowded.It's such a cute gem. The faux chinese lantern lighting is absolutely adorable. Love the wide booth seating that draws your eyes to the built-in bookshelves in the back of the room, making this place look so chic and cozy at the same time. The music here gives me a chill lounge vibe: acoustic versions of famous songs without lyrics.Prices are a bit higher, but I think the quality of the food, service, and atmosphere is worth it!I had the Choo chee duck and it was delicious. I had my curry on the side, so the duck was on the dry side (crispy skin!), but it was great with the sauce, and you can be sure their rice was the right consistency :) The Thai tea was as expected! The amount of food for me was a lot!Enjoy!“
“Excellent place to have a nice vegan meal. The service is exceptional and the atmosphere is friendly.Vegetarian options: The menu is all plant-based.Dietary restrictions: This place is vegan or plant-based, there are no animal products in any of the dishes.“
“We were recommended this restaurant from some friends while traveling, thankfully we were warned about the spice level so we could order accordingly. The Pad Thai and Thai Basil with chicken were both awesome! Wish we lived closer, this would easily be a new regular spot for us! Absolutely loved “
“1.Sampler platter *10/102.drunken noodles *98/1003.tom kha soup *8/104. Pad see iew *7/10Me: To begin with I want to say that the food here is phenomenal! All the dishes we had for our lunch were filled with so much flavor and the service provided was very family friendly!As a lover of all foods I want to recommend this place to any tourist that is looking to try some authentic Thai dishes that will wow them!?? TWO THUMBS UP!!!“
“Best Thai food ever. I have a theory that most Thai places either have really good noodles and just okay curries or great curry and not-so-great noodles, but this place has BOTH great curries AND great noodles. We’re vegetarian so we always get pad see ew with mock duck and we’ve served this to meat-loving friends who has given it a stamp of approval. The staff is the friendliest and always quick and helpful. The ambiance is just okay, kind of a hole in the wall sort of place. We always get take-out, but if you’re going to eat there go in the summertime and sit outside.“
“We visited Bamboo Fresh Thai Cuisine, and this place fulfilled our craving for Thai food! The ladies were super kind, welcoming, and engaging. We learned about the history of some of their specialty dishes and how the Thai people also eat them. It was hot and sunny, so we had a rich and refreshing Thai Iced Tea to cool us down. We started with the Curry Puffs, which were so pillowy and heavenly. These were definitely made with love! Next, we enjoyed the Som Tum Salad and Pad Thai with Tofu which were flavorful and complemented one another so well. The dishes were all beautifully presented and perfectly balanced between salty, sweet, spicy, and sour. Make sure you try a sweet treat in the end. We had the creamy Tapioca Coconut Milk and it did not disappoint. There were so many dishes on the menu, and we can’t wait to visit again to try them all. The food was delicious, and the staff was simply amazing! If you absolutely love Thai food, this is the place!“
“I went with a friend for an early lunch (11:30A) and we decided to try La Moon Thai Eatery and I'm glad we did!It's a small, quiet restaurant and at the time we were the only people besides a family that came and ordered after we did and later a takeout order.The staff (1 woman) was very pleasant and cheerful. Not sure if she also was preparing the food or just serving but she was efficient.They have a few gluten free options which for me is essential!Their online menu lists ingredients and which items are gluten free *restaurant menu does not unfortunately, so I'd check the online menu first as the staff wasn't completely sure yet did double check and confirm before putting order in to kitchen.I'd wanted to try their Drunken Noodles but was informed that it wasn't gluten free.I went with my second choice and had the (mild) Green Curry with chicken and was instantly impressed with the flavors, just the right amount of spicy and portion (enough for a modest lunch and dinner)My friend also enjoyed her meal of (mild) Green Curry w TofuThe only other downside to experience is they don't take cash, it is card only no cash?? (small sign posted on the register) so I was glad my friend had her card as I only had cash.Dietary restrictions: They have a few gluten free options which for me is essential!Their online menu lists ingredients and which items are gluten free *restaurant menu does not unfortunately, so I'd check the online menu first as the staff wasn't completely sure yet did double check and confirm before putting order in to kitchen.I recommend the Green Curry ?“
“I went in yesterday, never been before. The ladies who helped me order were amazing, specially one. Thank you! I wish I would have asked your name. The food she suggested I order was amazing and just the right flavor. My family really enjoyed it. I will be back.“
“During my first visit, I was thoroughly impressed and know that it won't be my last. Every dish we ordered was not only delicious, but the service was exceptionally friendly. Despite asking numerous questions, the staff member was incredibly kind and provided us with all the information we needed. We savored the panang curry, mango curry, Tom Yum soup, and pork belly fried rice. Let me tell you, the pork belly was cooked to perfection—not too crispy, yet delightfully tender. The curries were absolutely divine, and the sweet tangy taste of the mango was a delightful addition. The soup was incredibly flavorful, and even the white rice was cooked with a delightful texture. I'm already craving to return and sample more items from the menu. I wholeheartedly recommend visiting as you certainly won't be disappointed.“
“We LOVE Pad Thai Stand!! Ever since I moved to San Diego I have been getting Pad Thai Stand when I need comfort food, want take out or just feel like great Pad Thai. This is the best Pad Thai in San Diego. We get northern and southern and then have half of each for different flavors. Love the creativity in the different flavors of each item. People and staff and always so friendly and it is appreciated. Casual and minimal seating so better for a quick bite or take out.“
“Try outside of your comfort zone and you’ll realize all the food in this place is bomb. The owners are so nice and polite, if you have questions about the menu, they provide honest feedback/suggestions. Small space, but perfect for take out so you can enjoy back at home! Serving sizes is perfect in their containers and for the price in my honest opinion.“
“I got the pad thai lunch special - it was a generous portion and they got it out to me so quickly! really good and fresh, it hit the spot, just what I wanted.Parking: When I went there was tons of available spots in the lot behind the restaurant. Maybe 10 open spots.“
“The menu is varied, descriptive and contains photos of the entrees listed. I was very happy with the basil chicken. We also had spicy Thai noodles and another item; all delicious. The service is outstanding.Parking: Parking is located directly behind the restaurant, off a narrow side street. It is easy to miss if you are not looking for it.Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible from the parking lot and into the restaurant using the rear entrance.“
“This place was spectacular. Best Thai I have had in SD and you wouldn’t think from its location in PB but elegant at the same time as chilled and relaxed. Always a lot of people there enjoying their meal along with a lot of folks waiting for pickup. They are super quick making the food and always hand it to you with a “
“Tried this new little cozy place in my neighborhood that just opened, and it did not dissapoint. Food was amazing all freshly cooked. I ordered to go and my family loved it. The Drunken noodles with beef and shrimp was my favorite dish. The yellow curry was very tasty. Thai fried rice was on point and the crispy veggie eggrolls were good. Last but not least ..The mango sticky rice was excellent. Definetely will be coming back soon to try the Pad Thai noodles and the soups.??this could a new hidden ?. Enjoy!“
“The fried rice and cashew chicken were amazing. This will be my go to for fried rice in the area. However, the mango chicken was terrible. Both of us thought it tasted almost exactly like honey mustard and made me sick to my stomach with the syrup/mayo taste. I like sweet but this was unreal.I'm not sure if they changed the recipe because it looked lighter in color than pictures others posted or maybe messed up the ratio that day.“
“So far everything I've tried has been delicious!! My favorites are the Drunken noodles and the cream cheese wonton. The flavors are perfect. And the wontons are so good Especially the way she rolls them you get the perfect bite of crispy wonton and cream cheese mix inside with every bite *Chefs kiss* wishing them the best of luck!!“
“So delicious! The soup that comes with the lunch special knocked my socks off. The prices are great. Outstanding noodles. Friendly, efficient service. Feels like eating at a little hole in the wall on a Thai island, except with real chairs (iykyk). I'll be back.“
“The roast duck slurp was delicious. The spices was perfect. They put the broth and the noodles in separate containers. The service was quick, and the broth was very hot. We ate outside of the Liberty Public Market building where there were tables and an outdoor sink. The weather was good.“
“My favorite thai place prices are incredible food is hot and fast and its a huge place not busy Pad se ew is my go to so damn good i could eat there everyday massaman chicken thigh curry is my favorite curry ever meat is soft, sauce is sweet and thick yellow curry is just ok a bit watery but overall i could definitely live next door!“
“Delicious fresh and healthy. First time trying will definitely go back when in SD. Thank you to the lovely women in the back for preparing this meal. It tastes authentic and home cooked. I got the mixed vegetables with rice (the broth is excellent and had hearty cuts of vegetables) and the drunken noodles, perfect amount of spicy.“
“The pad Thai was amazing and very flavorful. We also had pad se ew and that was also good. My husband's biggest complaint was we got an order of sticky rice and it was not sticky rice- it was steamed rice and a big let down when we got home. I'm not saying it broke his heart... but he was pretty upset. But pad Thai and pad se ew was yummy“
