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

“The ambience, food, service and presentation were incredible!
We were so impressed with Nong (the head chef) and can't wait to come back!
She was so accommodating when we mentioned a spice allergy, and went above and beyond to ensure we had an incredible experience!
A must-go for sure, you won't be disappointed!“

“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.“

“Lur Ros Thai Kitchen is hands down one of the best Thai restaurants in Vista! The food is incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish tastes authentic and made with love — you can really tell they care about quality and tradition.

The Pad Thai was perfectly balanced, the curries were rich and aromatic, and the Thai tea was amazing. The spice level was just right and customizable to your preference.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are friendly, attentive, and make you feel like family. It’s the perfect spot for a casual dinner, date night, or family meal.
Highly recommend Lur Ros Thai Kitchen if you’re craving authentic Thai food in Vista. We will definitely be coming back!“

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

“Good food and service boat noodle is a must“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“I had the Spicy Basil Steak Burrito and it was excellent. The flavors were wonderful and the balance of ingredients in the burrito were perfect for texture. A little drizzle of lime juice and chili crisp included with the order put it over the top.“

“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.“

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

“Tasty authentic Thai restaurant“

“We arrived a little after 7 pm on a Wednesday night as a party of 2 adults & 1 toddler. The restaurant was packed, but the host graciously cleared a table I'm assuming they usually use for host things to seat us right away.

Our server was so kind and friendly towards our toddler, and all the servers were very patient with us as we decided what to order since it was our first visit.

The food came out hot and quickly, and was quite tasty. We got the fried eggplant appetizer, drunken noodles (veg/tofu), Lao curry bowl (chicken), and mango sticky rice. The drunken noodles were up there with some of the best I've had. Everything else was good, but not amazing.

We had a great time though because of the service and friendliness of the staff, and will definitely return.“
