I used to love this restaurant. Sadly, at some point the owner starting being greedy with prices. I stayed away due to this. All protein became a huge extra charge. Prices were just raised again. I took a chance ordering today. I will never make this mistake again. Leela Fried Rice comes with shrimp, chicken, and vegetables for around twenty dollars. I assumed they did not shrink the dish while charging more. I was wrong. It came with two pieces of shrimp and chicken. The extra vegetables I ordered were missing entirely. The rice looked like white rice with one tiny dash of soy sauce. It was soggy like chicken broth was poured over it. Then, the container was even smaller than before. It was 1/4 of the size it used to be. I'm not going back. I'm shocked this is what I was served. It's no longer good, let alone a decent portion size.

Small, dark and clean. Great tasting Thai food served quick, fresh and hot. They have lunch specials also. You can't go wrong here. Well worth having a meal here.

The atmosphere was amazing. We were attended right away. The lunch special was delicious and the quantity was amazing for the price.

This place was great! I was shopping for some things at dollar tree and needed to have a quick (and affordable lunch) I saw Léelas and it’s been some time since I’ve had Thai. Then I also saw they had a lunch special for 12.95. I ended up getting a Thai iced tea for 5$ which was great! A bit sweet but the Thai tea flavor was strong which I love. The only suggestion I have is more meat in my meal. I would’ve preferred that. I left full and feeling good (:

First time trying this place tonight. My mom wanted to bring me here. The service was fast, the food was flavorful, had a great amount of spice, and was very fresh. It’s a nice, cozy spot. Will be coming back.

The dish didn't quite meet my expectations. I asked for it to be spicy, but it had no heat, and the flavor was lacking. Overall, something felt off and was missing from the experience.

Fire 🔥I don’t know why your reading reviews right now come get you some😌 drunken noodles spice level 8 you’re welcome.
Second time ordering now 1st time was great the second time everything else was great except the beef was rubbery and only a couple pieces. Definitely will be going back so I will leave it a 5 star depending on the quality next time

A delightful lunch experience - brought out quickly but not at the cost of quality. Amongst one of the best Thai places in San Diego.

I will not be coming back.
I've been going here for years. I used to love it. But this past year, the quality of food has dropped significantly. As an asian, even if the meal isn't perfect, the rice should at least always be good. Even the past 3 times I come, dry, undercooked, and grainy. I'm not a snob, and never judge a place from a bad plate, but again I've been spending $ here for 3 years. It's really sad. For less $ you can have quality meal elsewhere with more and better food.
