27 Best Thai Restaurants near San Marcos

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

“A hidden gem for Thai food, good prices and GREAT PROPORTIONS! You will be completely stuffed!!! The food is high quality, rich, savory, and nourishing. I've been going to this establishment for a couple years now and their recipes have only gotten better since the remodeling. I would HIGHLY recommend this place for quick lunch or dinners - if you love Thai food you CAN'T GO WRONG with Thai Thai! Expect delicious memorable food - and a fair price that satisfies your wallet too.

Exceptionally good bang for your buck.

Parking is kind of wonky so be cautious.

Also the majority of the staff I have interacted with here are ESL. So just be mindful that there can be a slight difference in their approach to conversation as English isn't their native tongue. Just be kind and respectful.

After paying up front I was dismissed politely with a bow of gratitude and an endearment of thanks. I really appreciated that as I could tell the staff was truly grateful for my business.

I will be returning to Thai Thai innthe future as is customary. High quality food, and genuine service.

Thanks guys 🙏♥“

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

“I am a Thai connoisseur. Specifically curries. Even more specifically green curry. Thai Thai makes an excellent green curry. It's one of the better ones I've had in the San Diego area. It has eggplant in it, which in my opinion, is a prerequisite for making a top notch green curry. Yum! We also love their fresh spring rolls. They serve them with peanut sauce and one other sauce that is not plum sauce (what is usually served with this appetizer), but is far more delicious in our opinion. This is one of our go-to Thai places in North County.“

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

“This place so super clean and the the food was amazing. Plenty of tables to eat and close by other options if you have a family like mine that can't agree on one type of food. I ate the Thai dunking noodle Veggie protein level 10 spicy with a strawberry Lemonade...And im was sooo satisfied with this dish. The Lemonade was freshly squeezed and perfect 👌. I got it as take out but the portion size was large and everything was truly perfect. The young lady who took my order was super kind and very informative of the food in question and very welcoming. I will come again next time im in this area. Great food.“

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

“Ordered DoorDash and the food came hot a hit my Thai food craving. Pad see ew noodles were cooked well, spicier than what my husband and I were expecting though but still very good. Husband had the pad Thai, it was a bit too sweet for our taste. Both ordered Thai teas, these were enormous. Entrees and drink both lasted two servings.“

“I have written a yelp review about their food. I love their plum sauce and that’s saying quite a bit as I am not a fan of the usual sweet side sauces. This one is different though. Their Pad Kee Mao or spicy noodles is honestly so good. Their noodles aren’t mushy (they are perfect) like so many restaurants have let them get, and their food is always served hot.“

“Cute, casual Thai option in Rancho Bernardo near High Country West. The menu options are varied. The Thai iced tea was huge. The waitress was polite. $2 up-charge for brown rice. Several tables inside or take-out. Decent amount of parking in the lot (slightly tight) or street parking. Would visit again.“

“Good food and service boat noodle is a must“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Awesome food and exelent service 👌“

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

“Our go to take out spot is Kinaly :) We’ve tried all of their entrees and every single time we are not disappointed. Their customer service is always above and beyond & we enjoy their rewards program. We never go anywhere else for Thai food :)“

“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!!“

“The staff is vey sweet sand helpful“

“I love Thai food but was prepared to be disappointed with a mall variant... Boy was I pleasantly surprised! I ordered Chicken Panang Curry and it was delicious! Vegetables were fresh and crispy, not overcooked. Chicken was plentiful. Spicy 5 (their range is only 1-5) had a decent kick. I believe everything was made fresh after I ordered (not sitting in a pit somewhere). Slurp is definitely a solid choice in the North County Mall Food Court“

“I visited for a business lunch and I was really impressed. This might be my new favorite Thai restaurant. The restaurant was clean and spacious with tasteful decor. The hostess/waitress was genuine and polite. I actually felt like she was happy to serve us. My associate ordered the Panang curry with chicken while I went for the Pad Thai with chicken- spicy level 10/10. It actually had a kick! Rarely am I challenged by heat, but the dish was flavorful, plated attractively and a fully portioned. Next time I’m in the mood for Thai food, I’ll certainly be coming back!“

“Thai Thai Restaurant – Ocean Hills
Sawasdee Ka, Thai Thai… and welcome to Ocean Hills.
This is a long-overdue and very welcome addition to the area—and it’s already making a serious impression. What feels like an overnight success is clearly driven by authenticity, passion, and execution. Thai-owned and operated, and it shows in all the right ways.
Having spent several years in Thailand, I came in with high expectations. I’m happy to say—they nailed it.
We arrived a bit early, which worked in our favor. By noon, there was already a line forming out the door—always a great sign.
The owner and staff are clearly passionate about what they do. Song stands out as a true ambassador—warm, engaging, and genuinely welcoming. You feel it the moment you walk in.
Seating is limited, but it adds to the intimate, authentic feel of the space.
What we ordered:
Fresh Shrimp Spring Rolls – perfectly wrapped, crisp, and fresh, paired with a creamy, well-balanced peanut sauce
Chicken Satay – tender, juicy, and full of flavor, served with that same standout peanut sauce
Chicken Panang Curry – rich, smooth, and beautifully balanced; the coconut milk and lemongrass come through perfectly
Mango Sticky Rice – not usually a dessert person, but this was exceptional—easily one of the best I’ve had
What impressed me most was the consistency across every dish, paired with genuine Thai hospitality that truly stands out.
A truly enjoyable experience—and one I’ll definitely be coming back to.
Khop khun khrap, and welcome to the neighborhood.“

“Favorite restaurant in the world! Such amazing, happy service. Incredible flavorful vegan food. The bubble teas are excellent to enjoy while eating. Perfect for a romantic experience. They sang happy birthday! For being top quality, it's also amazingly affordable. Enjoy!!!!“
