Very good Thai food restaurant with a great variety of choices and everything can be made Vegan with very few exceptions I’ve been going there for over 30 years

Where do I start? This was our first time coming here after multiple recommendations and it did not disappoint. The ice cream was, IS, immaculate. I will say the price for a little scoop for ice cream is a bit much for what you get so honestly just get a big scoop for $2 more. The ice cream flavor range is so good, lots of vegan friendly options too! When it comes to Thai Tea I’m very picky because I don’t like when it’s too milky and sweet, let me just say this was the perfect Thai iced tea ever! We ordered the chicken pad see ew to go and we devoured it when we got home. This just became my new fave restaurant! 10/10 recommend

💖💖💖 BEST RESTAURANT IN SB!!!! I’ve been coming here for years (sometimes more than once a week) and there are SO many qualities that earn this place its well-deserved title:
1️⃣. INSANE FOOD - Like I said, I’m a frequent flyer. I’ve tried a lot of their dishes and among my favorites are the yellow coconut curry, wonton soup, drunken noodles, and tom kha. Their Wednesday specials are always so unique and hard to resist. One thing I especially appreciate is the care with which takeout is packaged. I’ve gotten many takeaway soups and NEVER ONCE had a leak or a spill.
2️⃣. INCREDIBLE PEOPLE - Piti, Pui, Ahmed, and the rest of the crew are some of the best folks ever. They’re kind, caring, and honestly just such cool people. They truly are the heart and soul of this place, and we look forward to seeing them as much as the food we so love.
3️⃣. ICE CREAM PARTY (need I say more?) - Creaminal is HANDS DOWN the best ice cream in SB. I said it. It’s true. The incredibly unique flavors are available all week long, but I especially love No Sad Sundaes every Saturday night. It’s a vital part of my weekend routine.
Your Choice is such a special place. It holds so many of my favorites meals and memories, and will continue to do so for years to come! 💞

Ironic that this place is called your choice because when I want to try a sample of ice cream before paying $13 for a whole thing of it, the guy at the front has an attitude and is rude to me. Is it *really* my choice? Doesn't seem like it.
The curry here is amazing. Most of the staff has been nice, but there is one young skinny guy with glasses who has been rude to me EVERY time without fail.
For those who don't know: This spot doubles as a thai restaurant and ice cream shop. Both parts of it are delicious.
The first time I came in I had wanted to try the thai tea oreo ice cream but they were out, I was told to come back the next week. I got butter pecan instead and it was delicious.
The next time I came in, I went up and to the counter and this guy was there... No greeting, just looks at me. I asked if I could try Kathy's Dream and the thai tea oreo ice cream. There was nobody else in the front and the resaturant had almost no customers that day - and he looks at me with hesitation and sort of scoffs and goes "Uh... I'm in the middle of scooping ice cream into pints, I'm doing Kathy's Dream right now so I guess I could let you try that one but I'm not getting the thai tea out for you to try. Sorry" Mind you... the thai tea ice cream was in the freezer right below where he was standing, he was just lazy. I explained I had wanted to try that ice cream since the previous week and he goes "Yea... sorry" then goes back to scooping pints.
Fast forward - ANOTHER week passes and we come in to pick up some curry for take out. There is a huge line of people and not once does he say to anyone "Hey, if you're eating in you can go sit where you'd like" instead he wait for each person to get to the front and tells them that after they have been standing for ages. 3/4 of the parties in front of me were just standing in line because they thought they needed to be seated to get a table, but there was no communication from the staff. I finally get up to the counter, my food's ready, and in my head I'm like "YES.... I can finally try this ice cream I have been wanting to try for weeks now!" then I ask if I can try it and... Ah, guess who is there? The same guy from last time, who looks at me and goes "Uh, sorry - I can't get you a sample there are people behind you waiting." I'm sorry but what? Why are you working at an ice cream shop that charges $13 for a pint if you are going to get mad at people for wanting to try the ice cream before buying it. I also would totally understand turning down giving a sample when there is a line if I didn't already know that this guy was just lazy and hadn't already had a nasty attitude to me the first time I spoke to him. I also couldn't help but laugh at him saying there is a line when I knew that most of those people just needed to simply be told "you can go pick a seat!" It's crazy to me because I have worked in food service so many years and I don't know how somebody can get a job that calls for being a kind and hospitable person when there are so many other fields you can go into if that's something that is hard for you. I'm kind to people wherever I go and I genuinely just can't wrap my mind around how this guy got that job.
Oh and the cherry on top, when my friend had gone up to the counter to ask a random menu question a different day, he was rude to him too and acted like my friend was bothering him. Again, when there was almost nobody in the restaurant.
I just... I'm so sad because I love this restaurant but this guy has really kind of soured my feelings towards this place. It's a shame because we just moved here and have loved all the food we have tried so far but I don't really know if it's worth making myself sad just to eat something I like. Even if it wasn't the ice crea

The tamarind chili chicken wings are fried to perfection. It's thr perfect crispy wing covered in a tamarind tangy sauce. Pickles chillies are sprinkled over for a subtle crunch and slight heat. Would definitely suggest as an appetizer. Don't be afraid to ask for more heat.

The quality of the food was amazing - definitely the reason why I’m giving 5 stars. However, it is not my favorite Thai place. There’s nothing worse than to walk out of a restaurant while still being hungry after spending more than $50. The portions are smaller compared to other Thai restaurants I’ve been to. Please note that a small bowl of rice for the curry bowls cost $3 extra. The service was exceptional.
These guys know what’s up! Not only extremely friendly, but delicious. This is a staple for my partner and I.

This is one of my favorite restaurant's in town! The food is delicious and the service is just as good. We come here for every birthday or special event because they never disappoint, highly recommend!!
Typical Santa Barbara struggle- decent Thai food, but terrible service. After a fiasco on my birthday, I’ll never return. Please be aware that the server will likely only visit your table once during your visit, except to grab the check. That’s when you will realize that the gratuity has already been included and forced- which explains why the service is such trash!
