I luv this place! Delicious, affordable and perfectly portioned sizes! Also, I want to share that in a half-asleep stupor, I completely forgot to mention in the instructions to make my Pad Thai vegan and ended up receiving it with eggs. To my surprise, they kindly offered to make me a vegan one at no charge! Also, when I went to return the original one, the vegan one was already ready!—So fast!
They didn’t have to do all that and they did! I’m so grateful...read full review

It makes my heart sad seeing bad reviews for this place. It’s one of the best kept hidden gems of San Diego. Staff is attentive, the atmosphere is cute and cozy, and the food is consistently delicious. The Tom Kha soup and any of their curries are some of the best I’ve ever had (as long as I don’t ask for too high of a spice level). I can usually take anything spicy but anything over a 3 is inedible sometimes. Definitely worth a try!
You ride these streets long enough, the chaos just blurs into one long, continuous migraine. You're scrambling through the roads of PB on an e-bike. Everyone's fighting for a piece of the asphalt, and you're just trying to keep your sanity intact while gripping the handlebars for dear life.

The Orient Thai offers a delightful dining experience with its delicious Thai cuisine, affordable prices, and pleasant ambiance. Standout dishes include the Kao Soi and Chicken Satai, with customers describing the peanut sauce as delectable. The food is consistently praised for being amazing and flavorful, making it a top choice for Thai food in the area. The portions are generous and the meals are noted for their complexity compared to many other Thai restaurants.
The staff is relaxed yet attentive, providing a warm welcome from the moment guests arrive. The restaurant features a cozy patio filled with plants, creating elevated homey vibes. Customers appreciate the spiciness scale, which allows them to choose their spice level comfortably. While the menu is pescatarian and vegetarian friendly, there are mixed answers regarding the omission of fish sauce, so vegans should be cautious. Overall, The Orient Thai is recognized as a gem in the heart of Pacific Beach, offering great food and service, with parking options available.
