‼WOULD NOT COME AGAIN.‼ I came here to eat with my friend and our two daughters after having a hard day. The food was delicious but I definitely will never come back here as long as the woman who served me works there. I have never walked in a restaurant feeling unwelcomed the moment our server began speaking to us. I would never expect a server to make disrespectful comments about my child who is only 2 years of age. The Server oddly told me and my friend to take our children's shoes off so we don't get her place dirty which we felt was a very odd request. We put them in the high chair that was already very dirty and dusty so I was confused. She hovered over picking little things back up as my daughter ate her food and if my daughter would put something down she would come to the table and take it away. Our children were tired, we just wanted a break and no one had an issue with our children but her. We felt rushed out with a check before we even finishing our order. When I walked to the restroom and left the table she went to my friend that I was with & in front of her daughter proceeded to tell her that my child is a bad kid. My feelings were hurt and I felt disrespected. To label a two year old as bad and one as good in front of other people and children while serving is completely inappropriate. Children are sponges, what we say shapes them into who they are, this server was saying this to the person I was sharing my lunch with. As a mother sometimes doing it all alone, I go out to have a break , to feel like I'm part of the world again. I always appreciate servers who stand for making their customers feel welcomed and have patience for all forms of humans and families. Unknowing of possible disabilities or hardships at home if this woman thinks it is okay to make comments like that to her customers I don't think she should be working there. I don't believe this woman represents good customer service, I don't believe that she is meeting up to the common values that most restaurants stand for. I called to complain the & Delilah was very kind and apologized. She asked if I wanted a refund and an apology and I said sure. The woman who served me got back on the phone and mocked me giving me a very disrespectful and backhanded apology with a very rude tone . I remained calm and just said I did not want to argue. She put Delilah back in the phone and she said she actually can't refund me until the owner came and they will give me a call tomorrow. I still haven't gotten a call back. I'm not angry about the money; but I am concerned about anyone with children eating at a place like this. I will take further steps until I get a call from someone who is in charge. This place is far from kid friendly and I would never recommend anyone who has a child to eat here. If you have a child with special abilities, toddlers, infant that cry, I would not feel comfortable being served by this woman. I support businesses that are all inclusive and this is not one of them.

Found a tiny twisty tie in my food. My pad thai had somwthing extra Probably came from produce. But still something in the food is insane. I could have cut my gums or popped an intestine. No bueno. Just bought a house in normal heights, won't eat here for the next 20 years.

Was not great. Went for the 2nd time after my initial visit a few years ago. I then remembered why I stayed away even though it’s in my neighborhood. Pad see ew was decent. However the pad Thai was the worst I have ever had(spaghetti noodles in a sticky sweet sauce). Not my idea of authentic Thai food. This is the place to take your grandparents from the Midwest who want “exotic” food. I’ll stick to Soi and JT’s for now.

Incredible thai here! Spice level 3 is medium ???
This is a Normal Heights favorite of ours! They have outdoor seating, so we can bring Oskar our dog. Good service and excellent food keep us coming back.
Recommend mango sticky rice for dessert.

I usually don’t do reviews but this place is well deserving of one! I order from Thai Joint at least once a week and the staff is always so welcoming! The food is nothing short of SPECTACULAR would definitely recommend either the chicken pad thai or their yellow curry!

We love Thai Joint! We’ve been going here since we first moved here and it’s still our favorite in San Diego. They have the best yellow curry I’ve ever had.
My absolute favorite Thai restaurant in San Diego. It has a large dining area but seems to be more of a takeout place with how many drivers came up. But the service I received was stellar.
Started off with the Crispy Rolls, which were so fresh and extremely flavorful. The main course was the green curry with bbq park, which I got at a 10 level spicy. It was perfection.
Highly recommend this spot for dining in or take away!

The food was delicious! They have spice levels from 1 to 10 and have a good amount of indoor seating. Most people were ordering for take out so we pretty much had the place to ourselves.

I have had the yellow and the panang curry and both are great but my go to is the panang! Its so good! The fresh spring rolls are also my go to appetizer because the peanut sauce is amazing. I usually order take out and they always get my order correct and pack it well. Never disappointed.
