“Delicious Thai food small family business with great food and friendly staff.“

“spring rolls, pot stickers, green curry, spicy fried rice. Everything I have tried I like. Fast friendly service.“

“Absolutely the best Thai I have ever had!!! I recommend this wonderful restaurant!!“

“Very Friendly Atmosphere. The level of spice I asked for is just right amount. I love the taste of my Pad Thai and the noodles is cooked perfectly, its not soggy nor too firm.

I love the thai tea with boba as well, it is on the bigger portion but it tastes great! It’s not too sweet not too bland and the boba is very soft not harden or sits there for too long, you can tell it was made fresh. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Vegetarian options: There are some Tofu and vegetables only dishes!

Kid-friendliness: Has high chair if needed!“

“The food is good. Ordered Drunken noodles, I would have preferred them a little more spicy. Some places ask for the level of spiciness, this one didn't. Also there's no atmosphere, it's lonely. Very quiet. Looks like they have good drinks but didn't ordered any this time.“

“Recently found this little place, and now have developed an addiction to their Panang curry. Best I’ve ever had. And the lunch specials are wonderful, both the soup and salad are good, as are the appetizers in them. Nice booth seating, a calm place with lovely people working there.“

“Found this location from a recommendation from one of the exotic tree nurseries down the street. Next to a main road but not to busy or intrusive on our experience. The food was amazing and most important. Fresh authentic, spiced really well and I could not be more impressed with the quality and the chef. Beautiful atmosphere on the flower filled outside cozy seating area. A great place to spend time with a loved one on a bike ride. Will be going back for sure when in the area for sure. We visited in the morning in April 2025.“

“Wow! This is exceptional Thai food. The flavors are layered to the point you taste each one.“

“Very COVID friendly. Huge portions. Staff a delight. We will be back.“

“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.“

“a very pleasant and homemade atmosphere best Thai food I've ever had in my life everything about this place is made with TLC my two favorite dishes of course pad Thai combo level 2 and yellow curry chicken there's no better savory amazing incredible taste ! don't forget the Thai Tea! I'd like to take a moment and say thank you to the owner for so many years you've greeted me with such a friendly smile no matter seems what your day was giving you you always gave us the people a smile and a pleasant time thank you for your incredible contribution to not only the neighborhood but for all the people that have come and enjoyed your food! you will be greatly missed!“

“Everything I've ordered from Kinaly has been outstanding in the flavor department. I've been patronizing them for, oh, maybe 4 years now? Honestly I've only tried a fraction of the menu - I've had maybe 1/3 of the starters and have mostly eaten the noodle dishes. The pad thai and pad see ewe are excellent! And they come out of the kitchen piping hot - hot enough, in fact, to stay warm for the 30 minutes it takes to get back to Valley Center.

Edit: I thought portions had gotten smaller, but I think it was just a fluke a couple of times in a row. Since those purchases, the portions are back to what they've always been! Enjoy a hearty meal.

The service is always friendly and fast! I've always gotten take-out so I can't really speak to the atmosphere, but the restaurant is clean and pretty chill, so I have no complaints.

Bottom line - if you're looking for some solid, reasonably-priced thai food, you can't go wrong with Kinaly. Do it, you won't be disappointed!“

“Great place, kind staff, nice food with decent portions & excellent flavor. Try their specialty boba drinks & mango sticky rice if it’s in season, delicious!“

“Excellent Thai food in a beautiful setting. You will love the ambience, the food and the service.
The place is nicely decorated, the most beautiful food I have been to. Everything we tried was excellent, cannot recommend highly enough.
The roti and curry is delicious and a must try. Soups are nice and perfect for winter nights.“

“Trying to contact the owner. Owner, when will you be at the restaurant?? Thank you. Sadly the on floor manager, Nick, now claiming to be the owner in today's conversation, will not honor a gift card our friend bought for us a few months back. Nick is very agressive, harsh, and sadly not a good face for this amazing restaurant. Our family has been eatting here for 3 generations ever since they opened. We have watched several sets of family member take over operating this family business, and have loved ever member prior. However, Nick is an unfortunate one. With a gift card receipt stating Nick's name, he denies selling a gift card to anyone but one person. Nick has unfortunately ruined our favorite family restaurant. If the real owner ever reads this, I hope we can work something out. My recommendation, eat somewhere else. Its not worth the gruff service and the potential to get screwed. :/“

“We are regulars who dine here weekly. Great food and friendly, knowledgeable staff. We come here frequently because the food is CONSISTENTLY delicious and the quality and care is obvious. Try it and you'll become a regular too!

Wheelchair accessibility: Many Handicap parhking spots in the lot. The one next to the restaurant has a ramp“

“Awesome food and exelent service 👌“

“Friendly staff and outstanding food quality. Yellow curry (medium) is amazing, and plenty for at least two meals. Basil fried rice and Drunken Noodles were excellent also. Gor Gai is a regular favourite for us!!“

“Best Thai Restaurant in the county. Delicious, awesome service great prices.“

“Food was amazing! Great Vegan options and fresh food! Only negative was there were no many people picking up food the ambiance was not the best. Good was awesome!

Vegetarian options: Make sure to order with no fish sauce and brown rice is the best! ❤️“

“Excelente y deliciosa comida!!“

“The staff is vey sweet sand helpful“

“This is my favorite Thai restaurant in the North county area. I mostly do takeout from this place, but it is a great experience dining in as well. Food is delicious and portions are generous. I also highly recommend appetizers and dessert here. My go to is the drunken noodles or massaman curry, but everything else I've tried was amazing. Service is fast and friendly, there is rarely a long wait for food or drinks.“

“Tasty authentic Thai restaurant“

“By far the best Thai food in North County. Run don't walk I highly recommend. You won't be disappointed.“

“Absolutely outstanding - best Thai food we’ve had outside of Thailand. Noodles had that elusive awesome wok hay flavor (I know that’s a Chinese concept but not sure how to describe the Thai equivalent). Our server was super friendly and efficient- food came out lightning fast. We ordered the fried eggplant, the basil stir fry with beef, and the Chow Fun with tofu. Only wish we had more people in our party so we could try more things.“
