Chaba Thai Kitchen

We were seated quickly and the food was served fast, which we really appreciated. However, the dishes didn’t quite match our taste. The green curry was a bit too salty, and the Pad Thai was a bit too sweet for our liking. On a positive note, they offered a free dessert at the end, which was a nice gesture. Unfortunately, due to the taste of the main dishes, I can't give more stars.

I liked EVERYTHING about it. The food was great. I got pad see-ew and it was not spicy just how I like it, and if you do want it spicy you can definitely get it spicy. (My husband ordered a 7.5 and it was spicy deliciousness.) The service was prompt. It did not take a long time for us to receive our apps or food, and when we did she reminded us to not leave our forks on the appetizer plates.(lol). The atmosphere of the restaurant was just as expected. My favorite part of it was the cute little paintings on the walls. ❤️

This place was delicious! The chicken and rice was like a party in my mouth. Even the cucumbers were cut up to look fancy. But what put it over the top was the soup. They served a spectacular chicken and garlic soup that was delectable. They served a surprise desert at the end which we didn’t pay for. 100 percent 5/5 stars.

This place is really good!

I’m obsessed with their crispy catfish salad. Every time I’m in San Diego. I have to stop by and get it at least once! It’s best if you order it there, but if you get it to go, they keep the sauce on the side so that it doesn’t get soggy. This dish may sound odd if you’ve never tried it, but it is so tangy flavorful and delicious. You can choose your own spice level, but they take spice seriously I typically go with a level three or four.

Everyone working there is super sweet and sometimes they’ll give you a free dessert with cantaloupe and creamy Sago. That dessert is so good.

We love Chaba thai and we order from them regularly. Eating in is the best option though because the staff is super sweet and they gave us free tapioca dessert every time. My favorite is Khao soi and Panang curry. Although all of their dishes are awesome and authentic. Just be careful with the spice level as they use potent thai chillis haha

We loved that this place is very clean and refreshing. Service staff knows when to show up, and when to leave you alone. It’s a laid back atmosphere, lots of parking, and central to Clairemont.

The food-ok, so, this wasn’t the ‘best’ Thai food we’d had, however, surely not the worst. The portions were in the smaller side, and it seemed as if we didn’t have enough food even tho it was just two of us.

We will go back, as stated, the atmosphere is peaceful and very clean. The staff is welcoming and friendly, and we did enjoy the hospitality.

We’d recommend this place-larger groups seem to be accompanied easily, and they have a good menu selection.

Enjoy!
