My wife and I stopped in for dinner after reading some reviews. It's small, but the food was very good. Our server was great

Cool little spot. Menu is alright and prices are steep but thats san diego. We ordered 4 differnt dishes and all were just meh. Little bland especially for thai, barely any seats available so we had to sit next to another couple but when they left the server didnt clean the table. Weren't checked in until the bill.

unfortunately, my experience was not as I had hoped as this was my first time here. the price for a cup of soup and some fried rice was almost $30. The price did not live up to its value in the food and I waited over 20 minutes before anyone even knew I was in the restaurant. poor service and food was not worth it.

Super disappointing based off the reviews. Ordered takeout, 2 Khao Soi’s. They put a whole 3 bites worth of noodles in mine, and completely forgot my friends. And the portions are tiny, like taking home the last bites of your leftovers from dinner-small. Crab rangoons have no crab, just avocado.

Hands down the worst Thai food I’ve ever had. Zero spice, sweet. And the drunken noodles were broken and gummy. No other Asian people were there, draw your own conclusions. Better options down the street. The decor was cute however.

The service was the worse thing I’ve ever experienced in my life!! The waitress name (mim I think) was the most rude person I’ve ever dealt with in a restaurant I asked her for water about million times in the meantime she kept bringing more people into the restaurant and gave them water while looking at me and ignoring me almost on purpose

Stopped by here on the way to the house for the first time and this was very good. Pineapple rice and Basil Chicken was delicious. Great little spot near the house with cool decor. Wifey and I will be back again.

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.

Parking: Private lot and street parking also available
