50 Best Thai Restaurants in San Diego

“Our group of 4 went for lunch. We had the papaya salad , the sizzling eggplant, the loa BBQ ribs, and the beef panang curry. All were flavorful with many subtle spices. The service was attentive, the prices were reasonable . I was probably the best Thai restaurant I have visited . I definite recommend and will return!“

“ALWAYS ALWAYS FOREVER GOOD!“

“Had an amazing meal at a Thai restaurant with TK as our server. TK's service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. The tiger shrimp was phenomenal, perfectly seasoned, and the vibe of the place was warm and inviting. Highly recommend!“

“Same menu as Soi 30th in North Park (which is amazing). The crispy pork belly is out of this world (and good in everything) and the Tom Kha is one of my favorite things to order.

I'm not a big cream cheese wonton person, but I can admit these are amazing. So much filling that they're bursting at the seams. Perfect for a quick munch before going out

The waitress was super friendly and nice. If I'm ever in the area, I'll def be going back“

“amazing food! probably the best Tom Kha soup in San Diego!!“

“Excelente y deliciosa comida!!“

“Ok for real, I am a Thai snob. Out of 10 places I try I may get 1 I think is decent. Holy crap best drunken noodles I’ve ever had. I will be dreaming of that dish until I come back! For reals get the drunken noodles and you’ll be hooked! Service was great and friendly too!?“

“I couldn't leave the 5 star review fast enough. Must go thai place for this area. From my very first bite I knew the food was gonna be delicious and it was. Everything was tasty and perfect. I already want to go back and actually eat-in at the restaurant since it gave very calm and cozy energy. Reasonably priced. Five stars“

“Very good food. I never had Lao food. In a good way, it was pretty different from the Asian food that I'm used to having.

The chicken wings were unlike any Asian chicken wing I've had. It's a dry rub. Very good and would come back just for that.

Good service although there was a lot of customers so the waiter was busy.

It's really spicy here. A 3/10 for one of the dishes was very spicy. I recommend you ask the waiter what he recommends regarding spice and your tolerance for it.“

“Oishii is such a hidden gem! Very clean, and the insanely friendly and attentive staff make you feel right at home. The highlight for me was the pork noodle soup—seriously, it’s the closest thing I’ve found to authentic street noodle soup from Thailand. Such a rare find! Everything we tried was fresh and delicious. I’m already planning my next visit. Highly recommend!

Also 50% off apps and some rolls, beer and Thai tea for happy hour. Can’t beat it. Everyday from 2-5pm.“

“Everything at so saap is good! Papaya salad, laap was awesome! I visited twice in a week as I live in another state. I will be back one day.“

“Such a nice restaurant to visit. This is our 1st and it won't be our last because we really enjoyed the service and the intentiveness of our waiter which also spoke thai with my wife. The food was amazing that's why we will be coming back.“

“Here we are again having another fabulous meal prepared for us. 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.“

“Great food specially their pad thai. Servers are nice and very welcoming. Will definitely come back over and over again. I’ve found one of the BEST Thai Restaurant in San Diego“

“Delicious and healthy food. Friendly staff.“

“This was hands down the best Thai food I have had in a very long time. I ordered the Pad garlic pepper chicken spice level 5/10 it was almost too spicy but I couldn't stop earing it. They brought out a complementary dessert of this super tasty with coconut milk, tapioca beads, cantaloupe balls with ice cubes in it, best place ever. HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“Truly wonderful Thai food, would eat here often if we were local!“

“My husband and I love this place !! We live in University city and AAHARN restaurant is the best Thai restaurant in University city. We have tried so many dishes such as Lamb massaman, Neu Nam Tok, Chicken biryani. We love them all! Our server was very nice and kind. I highly recommend this restaurant. ♥️♥️♥️“

“Everything at so saap is good! Papaya salad, laap was awesome! I visited twice in a week as I live in another state. I will be back one day.“

“The food is great! Used to be very busy for lunch, but it was less than half full the day I was there.

Parking: It could be difficult to find parking close to the restaurant, but can find parking if you are ready to walk a few meters.“

“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!"“

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

“Ordered takeout from Corner Thai Kitchen and loved it! We had the crab fried rice with the pad see ew with mock duck and it was perfect. Nice portion sizes that are sure to leave you stuffed. The staff was very friendly and didn’t need to wait long for my order. They have an outdoor patio as well that is dog friendly. Recommend if you’re looking for some great Thai food!“

“First time back after a couple years and the food still tastes the same. The place still looks the same. Staff are still friendly and service is fast. We like ordering their fried rice dishes and noodles when we go. There are a couple parking spots available in the front. We parked at a public parking lot a few blocks away on the same street and the walk was very pleasant, with more places to see and try next time when in NP.

Spicy is SPICY here, if you wish..but not necessary.“

“Loved the food here!! It is a small but clean and cute restaurant the food is so good! I called in my order with no problem. The service is excellent! Very friendly and welcoming. We tried the larb salad, red and green curry, pad see ew noodle, curry puffs and we were not disappointed! The Curry puffs are a must try!!! I've never seen them at any other Thai place before, my all time favorite!!! I love quaint places like this! We will definitely be returning! It's in a small shopping center so lots of parking is available. Lots of options on the menu and not overpriced. I look forward to trying the pineapple fried rice next time.“

“We have been to Thai Social now twice, and the food is delishious, the first time we had beef drunken noodles and mixed yellow curry and shrimp wrapped in wrapper these were simple and nice size shrimp very tender and succulent with a chili dipping sauce, this is a very nice appitizer all where very good, the second time we had the pad Thai chicken and it to was very good, we also had the won ton soup, the soup was delishious except the won ton wrapper was a little pasty I think they made the wrapper with flour? Instead of corn starch, this won ton soup is delishious full of Won ton's and vegtables, peppers we got 6-7 and it was nice and spicy its a meal in its self! The wrapper of the won ton is just weird, staff are very nice, and attentive the resturant it self is very clean, very nicely decorated and cozy, not a loud resturant, it's warm and cozy, I am very happy we can walk to this Thai restaurant. We will be back“

“A food stall located within the Liberty Station Public Market. Staff were friendly and welcoming. My crab fried rice was ready in about 10-15 minutes after I ordered and it was delicious! I loved how they used actual crab meat and not imitation. The rice was well seasoned. I shared this dish with my daughter so I couldn’t order it spicy, but definitely will next time. I paid about $25 for the rice, soda and tip.“

“Good food and good service“

“Excellent food for the fare price.

Its a cozy ambient restaurant and we were served medium size dinners.

Thai was very good and very fresh, properly seasoned and just right to the taste. They also take spicy and non spicy requests which was perfect for us.

Highly recommend you visit this mom n pap, woth a partner for dinner, or even with the family as portion sizes for 1 dish feed the whole family!

Over all excellent thai food when you appetite calls for.
Aloha!“

“อาหารอร่อยบริการรวดเร็วทันใจมากคะ“

“The food is always very fresh and delicious. They are very mindful about how spicy you would like. I don’t tolerate a lot of spice and they make sure they accommodate. And the customer service is exceptional.“

“Why do they charge $2 for rice when you order curry???
People don't eat curry by itself. I've eaten in restaurants in North, Central, and South Thailand, and in Thai restaurants up and down the US East and West coasts, and all included rice in their curry entrees. This seems unnecessarily greedy. Our Thai friends find it weird and unacceptable. Otherwise, the food is authentic and delicious. Our friends got Red Curry Beef and Green Curry Chicken. We got Crispy Rice Salad and Beef Boat Noodles Soup. They all were very good and authentic. The atmosphere is great, making you feel like you stepped into a local restaurant in Northern Eastern Thailand. Minus one star for charging $2 for rice that should be included with curries.

Parking: Plenty of parking in the shared shopping center parking lot.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible parking, entrance, and seating.“

“Excellent Thai Cusine. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.“

“This place is low key amazing Thai food. Who knew a little spot in a business park could produce some of the best Thai food in town! The staff is great and working hard to handle all the customers (read dumb)that don't understand how to order food or wait in line.“

“This joint is the real deal! Authentic and delicious Thai food made fresh to order. You can tell because it comes piping hot. Family run spot. The lady at the counter is sweet. I may have had the best drunken noodle (pad kee mao) here. It was soo good and satisfying. Food is very reasonably priced as well.“

“The food is excellent.I feel like the guy that works here is always busy, so don't go in expecting to be pampered, but he'll get you your food and water when you need it and it will be delicious.I've tried the Pad Thai, Panang Curry, and the Pineapple Chicken Fried Rice so far and it's all delicious. I was making my way through the menu each time I go but I'm just so hooked to the Pineapple Fried Rice that I've stopped trying other options there. My friends love what they get too.Plus, it's quiet as I believe most people just order out, so it's a great place to catch up with a friend.“

“I have lived in PB for 6 years and since trying The Orient some time ago, I borderline refuse to eat at any other Thai restaurant. This charming little spot is nestled in the corner of a strip of businesses on Fanuel and Garnett. Indoors and out are both extremely good vibes but it only seats a few groups so plan accordingly. This makes it even better for take out! I will often call in and pick up food on my way home. Some of my favorites are: pad Thai, drunken noodle, yellow curry, pad see ew, and the Tom Yum soup is the BEST you will ever have!! I haven’t had a dish here I wasn’t impressed by - Can’t rave enough“

“Easily one of the top two Thai joints in San Diego county. Great flavors, huge portions. Perfect.“

“delicious food and friendly service! I love the soup!“

“My husband and I love this place !! We live in University city and AAHARN restaurant is the best Thai restaurant in University city. We have tried so many dishes such as Lamb massaman, Neu Nam Tok, Chicken biryani. We love them all! Our server was very nice and kind. I highly recommend this restaurant. ♥️♥️♥️“
