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!

I stumbled upon Sukhothai Extraordinaire one day during my lunch break and totally fell for it. I was back within a week! It's easy to miss this gem with its small, hole-in-the-wall vibe, but once you step inside, it's like entering a serene and beautiful oasis. The samosas were so flavorful, and let me tell you, as a huge fan of pad see ew, this place might just have the best one I've ever had (this restaurant is actually now in my top 2 favorite Thai spots!). Everything tastes super fresh, from their amazing curries to their comforting soups, and ALL their protein is always fresh and cleaned. And can we talk about the customer service? A solid 10/10 - the staff is friendly and on point, and I've never had to wait too long for my food. Trust me, you gotta check this place out - you won't be disappointed!

Best Thai food in San Diego. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Staff were super friendly. Highly recommend making a reservation if coming on the weekend.

Braised beef was so freakin good! So good that I'm going back this weekend, 5 days from my first tasting. Have someone from NY in town & this is the North Park spot to take them to. Place is small, not a lot of seating but they accept reservations.

We stumbled upon this place on a Sunday afternoon. This place is a neighborhood gem for sure. It seems like somewhere I would go for a casual night out with family. I highly recommend their spicy noodles. The fried thai basil combined with the chewy rice noodles and crunchy chicken was perfection. You can customize the spice level, but keep in mind that this is Thai spice so it might be stronger than you expect! For reference, I can usually handle medium spice at other places. I picked a 3/10 spice here and it was perfect. Our servers were very attentive, but we came when it was empty so it's hard to say what it's like otherwise.

Nice local spot for University Heights. Food is good and the atmosphere is serene.Kid-friendliness: Not the best for small kids. It will disrupt a small dining and intimate sitting atmosphere. Plz don't bring the loud toddlers... thanks. ?Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

We stopped here for a quick lunch since we were in the area. The service was quick and great. I loved the ambiance and decor. Very soothing atmosphere. The food was delicious. I love how they accommodate for small children with special plates and smaller silverware for them.

I had a wonderful experience eating dinner here. I got lucky with the parking spot so came in for the first time. Staff was prompt and kind. I came for yellow curry and it was super tasty. I would have this again. I very much enjoyed the atmosphere here as well. The restaurant played jazz music and overall gave a warm and inviting atmosphere. I had the rose pedal tea and it was great. It was a cold rainy night and coming here was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!!!!

In past always gave 5 stars... however today when I can I tried to sub fried salmon instead of pork and they said they cannot... I have done this many times in the past, so not sure why it was an issue today... I am a regular two to three times a week, but this was disappointing...
