But Corner Thai Kitchen truly impressed me. The flavors were authentic, well-balanced, and the ingredients tasted fresh. Everything was delicious, and I would highly recommmend this place!“

“amazing food! probably the best Tom Kha soup in San Diego!!“

“delicious food and friendly service! I love the soup!“

“Was in the San Diego area craving some drunken noodles (Pad Kee Mao or Mow) and asked Google to help me find one close.

The ordering process went smoothly as I looked at the website and called in my order.

Picking up was ok. It is a little house that has been converted into this restaurant and I walked right past it. When you go, look for the little yellow house that is set back a little bit from the street.

As I was paying for my meal, I asked if there were any Yelp discounts. He said no discounts and it is a 3% fee to use your credit card.

The Panang Curry was amazing. Lots of flavor. Perfectly cooked rice and they go together so well. Great consistency, plenty of carrots with come chicken (that was my chosen protein) and other veggies. I was surprised that when I opened the curry, it was still piping hot. And they wrapped the container in plastic wrap in addition to the cover being on it. Love when restaurants do that as it decreases the chance of spills.

The drunken noodles was what I was craving to begin with and I found out lacking. Not much flavor and to be honest, I was hoping to have had some Thai Basil in it. To be fair, it didn't mention that on their menu. It just adds so much flavor and without it, it is too bland for me. I'm also accustomed to much more saucy noodles and these are very dry. When I have leftovers, I will add some Huy Fong Sambal Oelek Chili Paste.

Over all, I would go again. However, I'll stick with the curry next time.“

“Food was fresh and delicious“

“I just haven't ever had a bad meal here. I look forward to going back and enjoying a meal with a bestie. Finish it off with mango sticky rice and sleep like a baby 😁😉“

“My wife and I came for dinner and were seated right away. We had the pad Thai and the drunken noodles. We ordered some type of dumplings for appetizers that were delicious. We had a beer and Thai tea for drinks. With tax, it all came out to be a little over $60. The waitress was kind and the service was great. The food is definitely what will keep us going back!“

“Wonderful food and service. Reasonable prices. Great presentation. Best fresh spring rolls I've had in a long time. A neighborhood gem! We'll be back.

Dietary restrictions: GF options not posted on the menu but they were able to accommodate my request.“

“We've eaten here several times now and generally find it quite good. It's a tiny place but they seem to do more takeout than eat in so we've never had to wait for a table. Just there again last week and had a couple noodle dishes and a rice dish. Good food, friendly service - we're happy to support this small business!“

“I went there to eat with a coworker for lunch earlier today. It was my very first time having been there. I was recommended by a couple of my friends. The restaurant was pretty spacious and the staff were very friendly. I ordered the laab seen (ລາບຊີ້ນ) a Lao minced beef salad and the tom khueng nai (ຕົ້ມເຄື່ອງໃນ) a Lao beef innards soup with some sticky rice. Lunch was delicious. I will definitely be going back there again. I will be bringing my mom. She was actually the person that had brought up this place to me before as well. See you again in the near future.“

“By far the Best Thai food in San Diego !! don't miss out.“

“Missing items constantly they always have a story or excuse been Eating here for years have brought customers or one item they would not replace missing one a delivery there excuses I’m Sick of - please do not go here customer service has declined“

“The staff is super sweet and generous. I had to stop by to take an important zoom meeting. I Russ Lee Founder corner Booth and ask for a coffee did not even mention what kind. Planning to go back in order once I finish my meeting, but this front desk lady was so kind and generous she brought in iced coffee for me, which was delicious. She did not bother me once because she saw I was on a call. Once I finish my meeting, I went back to pay for the coffee and she said it’s on the house and not to bother. I was genuinely not expecting that as it they were just opening up, but I really appreciated her being. So nice and kind.
I haven’t had food here yet but will definitely stop by soon. Everything smelled and looked fantastic on the other tables.

Highly recommend this place..it’s a hidden gem :)“

“I discovered this restaurant through a colleague in the culinary field, and her recommendation regarding this discreet Laotian establishment was indeed accurate.

According to the proprietor, this restaurant has been in operation for 35 years. I was very pleased to learn about this establishment and finally had the opportunity to experience its offerings.

During my visit, I sampled three distinct food items and a generous serving of Thai iced tea.

The Laotian sausage was exceptionally well-prepared. Its tender and juicy consistency is noteworthy, and it is prepared in-house by the owner. The use of chopped, rather than ground, meat provides a distinctive textural element that enhances the culinary experience. The freshness of the ingredients is evident in every bite.

The crispy pork belly was also commendable. It featured thinly sliced pork belly, lightly floured and expertly deep-fried, which paired excellently with plain jasmine rice.

The Lad Na with chicken is a signature dish of the establishment. It is characterized by its comforting and mild flavor profile, along with the distinct char imparted by stir-frying the noodles. The dish is accompanied by additional condiments such as vinegar, sugar, or chili to customize the taste.

I am eager to return and explore other menu items, including the beef jerky and various soup selections.“

“Unfortunately, I could barely contain myself when the food came. It was super delicious and can’t wait to go back! I didn’t get the name of our server but she was an older lady. That helped me decide on all my choices for dinner tonight. Thank you for the good experience and good food. Looking forward to coming back“

“Cute little restaurant with Thai, Chinese, and Cambodian fare. Friendly staff, reasonable prices, delicious food. Would visit again if I was back in the area!“

“The food is great and this place is an institution. I’m mainly leaving a review here because someone left a review saying they found “cartilage” in their noodle dish… those pieces in the picture are clearly squid. The person who ordered must never have seen squid before.“
