The food here is amazing! It’s just good thai food, plain and simple. The Kow Soi noodle is great, I had it for the first time and it made write this review. PB can’t afford to lose this place, especially since the other nearby thai places are only so-so.
They have a 10 point scale for spiciness; I usually get a five outta ten on the spiciness scale and that’s plenty. Enough to make my nose start to run at least. Very comfortable spice level and it’s what I recommend.
They are so rude it’s ridiculous. Very temperamental staff and the food accommodations weren’t met.

Such a gem! Every dish my company or I has ever had here has been so flavorful! Very generously portioned entrées with more complexity than their counterparts at many other Thai restaurants I've been to.
Staff is relaxed yet attentive. Prices are commensurate with the quality of the meals, but still modest.
The décor is gorgeous, the patio is cozy and filled (but now overcrowded) with plants, and I'd call the overall vibes elevated homey.
I've gotten mixed answers regarding the ability to omit fish sauce in certain dishes, so vegans beware. Very pescatarian friendly (and vegetarian friendly, depending on your feelings about fish sauce being vegetarian).
Noodles, rice, curry - all awesome!

A true Biden gem in the heart of Pacific Beach. The moment you walk you are nicely greeted with a warm welcome. I have to be seated your drink orders right away and the menu is provided. After several minutes, I ordered the main dishes.
For starters, I had the house salad with peanut dressing. For the main dish I had the medium red curry. The food was real authentic. The food portions were generous. Everything that I tried, and truly home cooking flavoring made from the heart.
You could not ask for a nicer staff from the minute you arrive the minute you leave.
You have a private parking lot and also street parking.

I don't recommend it. For small orders you need to wait 30 minutes.
4.5 stars- the food was delicious and it was so cute in there! We loved the red & yellow curries. The orange chicken was overall good but could have been crispy. The service was alright nothing to write home about and there was some interesting song choices.

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

Food isn’t worth the price for wonton soup to have only 5 wontons and two strips of chicken save money if you want quality
