50 Best Thai Restaurants near Spring Valley

“My order was for takeout....and it was ready right on time. Everything was absolutely delicious and prices were good! The Satay chicken was tender and flavorful....Pad Woon Sen was fresh and light with crispy vegetables. Cream cheese wontons were great and served as dessert. The portions were generous with plenty left over for a second meal. Pretty sure Little Thai Kitchen is now my favorite Thai food spot!😊“

“I loooove this place! Scrumptiously rich, lick-your-plate-clean, authentic tasting curry options, and very fresh & flavorful veggies. Because you can pick your base, protein, and side, everyone can get what they want! There’s also a little sauce bar off to the side where you can customize it even further.

If you’re not sure what curry you want to commit to, don’t be afraid to ask for a sample of them! I’ve always seen the same girl working and she’s always soooo friendly & welcoming! ❤️❤️ She’s also already starting to recognize my friend & I, and our orders hahaha.

My order is crispy tofu, a different curry every time, on a bed of shredded lettuce and a side of steamed veggies. Warm, comforting, and indulgent, yet I never feel guilty! Also the limeade is house made, tangy, and VERY refreshing! Not too sweet.

Very vibey and peacefully decorated space with decent seating, considering that it’s cute and cozy inside. High tops and low tops. If you get to-go, the containers they use keeps everything nice and separated! Parking is a little limited but there are a few spots right in front.“

“Best Thai Food Ever“

“Everything at so saap is good! Papaya salad, laap was awesome! I visited twice in a week as I live in another state. I will be back one day.“

“very friendly waitresses, fast delivery and great food 👌 definitely will be back. only negative but with all the places around the area is parking. but other than that, great place“

“Here we are again having another fabulous meal prepared for us. But's this time There was a party of maybe 6 women and they prefer to have the other entrance open so my wife froze her butt off for the whole meal it seems like it was below 0 degrees but all in all we still had a great meal. Maybe I should have said something to our waitress but I didn't want to upset the girls.“

“It's a good restaurant in San Diego to have Thai food!“

“Oishii is such a hidden gem! Very clean, and the insanely friendly and attentive staff make you feel right at home. The highlight for me was the pork noodle soup—seriously, it’s the closest thing I’ve found to authentic street noodle soup from Thailand. Such a rare find! Everything we tried was fresh and delicious. I’m already planning my next visit. Highly recommend!

Also 50% off apps and some rolls, beer and Thai tea for happy hour. Can’t beat it. Everyday from 2-5pm.“

“I stumbled upon this Thai restaurant and what a pleasant surprise it turned out to be! The ambiance was a delightful fusion of modern elegance and traditional Thai charm. The dimly lit dining area, adorned with beautiful Thai artwork, created a serene atmosphere that was perfect for a romantic dinner. The service was top-notch, with the waitstaff offering helpful recommendations and ensuring our every need was met. And the food, oh my, it was a gastronomic adventure! The tom yum soup was a tantalizing explosion of flavors, and the pineapple fried rice was a delightful balance of sweet and savory. This place is a hidden gem that deserves more recognition!“

“Pari is great and his food is AMAZING!!“

“I have been craving good Thai for a few years. I have tried some not good and some okay other places. Thai Time is so good. The aromas of the spices tortured my already empty stomach with the enticement of good food to come. I have fallen in love with the food and customer service. I will be back as my budget allows.“

“One of my favorite restaurants authentic Latin cuisine. I have been coming here for over 30 years and was so sad when it closed down during the pandemic. So glad it reopened! Can’t wait 😜 to go back. I give it 5 stars for sure!“

“we just moved to the neighborhood...the crab fried rice was sooooo yummy .“

“ALWAYS ALWAYS FOREVER GOOD!“

“The food was amazing and the staff was friendly and accommodating. We got an entree, 2 appetizers and 2 Thai teas for $40 is amazing price. It fed me and my sister with left overs! Great food affordable price👏🏻 Definitely coming back soon.“

“Everything at so saap is good! Papaya salad, laap was awesome! I visited twice in a week as I live in another state. I will be back one day.“

“Great experience! Great attitude! Great food! Mom and pops Thai food in Sierra Mesa you will never miss out this place is amazing absolutely 🔥🔥🔥!! Try the papaya salad🤤🤤🤤 I absolutely recommend this place , when it comes to homemade Thai food!💯🔥👌😎“

“Always excellent food and service. Great pad Thai and Great Yellow Curry. A favorite.“

“One of the better dining experiences I’ve had in quite some time! Everything was delicious, staff was attentive and quick, food came out in a reasonable time and everything was piping hot and fresh 😋

I wanted to note that the negative reviews involving staff pushing them out honestly makes sense from a business point of view, it’s ridiculous to order take out and assume you can take a seat from those intending to eat there. It’s a small place, it’s to be expected! We had no problems feeling rushed, and even if we were, I’d absolutely understand if they had people waiting for tables. Don’t let those ridiculous reviews put you off from giving this place a try, it’s totally worth trying!“

“Everything so good 😛clean friendly“

“Crispy, decadent, and absolutely perfectly seasoned chicken. Not too salty (which tends to be the case for lots of fried chicken chains). Thai tea is yummy, I don't taste the overtly strong artificial powder taste of other Thai teas especially at some milk tea shops. Real yummy. Low prices. Very happy and satisfied.“

“If you're looking for the best Thai dining experience in town, look no further than Thai Time North Park ! The moment you step in, you're greeted by an inviting atmosphere and trendy decor. The service is impeccable; the staff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready with a smile. Our servers went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The food is nothing short of spectacular. We started with the fresh spring rolls, which were bursting with flavor. The Pad Thai was perfectly balanced with the right amount of sweetness and spice, the Larb was rich and aromatic and the signature chef Poke one of a kind. What really sets Thai Time apart are the little extras. We were treated to a complimentary Cucumber Gimlet drink. In short, Thai Time offers the perfect combination of delectable food, outstanding service, and a charming ambiance. It's a must-visit for anyone craving an authentic Thai dining experience. We would easily give Thai Time a 5-star rating for its exceptional dining experience. Do yourself a favor and visit – you won’t be disappointed!"“

“BEST CURRY IVE EVER HAD!!!!! Great prices and portions and service. I am super impressed. I am actually writing this while I’m shoveling green curry in my mouth on my couch. You guys earned my business!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼“

“The food was amazing as always.“

“Nice spot with eclectic decor, really nice people and very flavorful food. I’ll be back!“

“Food is always good and Brady is a riot!!“

“Quaint restaurant atmosphere with some of the best Thai food in town. This place, just like the Thai restaurant before these new owners took over, are some of the only places that I've been able to find authentic Thai spice and flavors in SD. The Hot Basil dish was great and so was the Tom Yum. We are used to the almost impossibly spicy food that was served here by the previous owners, where a one out of a scale of 1 to 10 would still make you sweat. These new folks have mellowed things out a bit offering mild medium or spicy. We got medium and it was manageable, but I'll probably go for spicy next time.“

“The food is fantastic and the atmosphere lovely. it's been a family favorite for over 30 years. (since they opened)“

“ก๋วยเตี๋ยวเรืออร่อย พนักงานน่ารัก“

“The service was great.
I made a wrong order, didn't much like the noodles (I don't usually like noodles). I'll choose something else next time.
The gyoza was good.

Clean place.
Outdoor seating.
Fair prices.“

“From the very first bite, I felt like I was right back on the streets of Bangkok! This restaurant is an absolute gem! Every dish bursts with the kind of bold, vibrant flavors you only find in authentic Thai cooking. The aromas of lemongrass, chili, and coconut hit the moment you walk in, and from there, it’s pure magic.
I tried the Pad See Ew, and Khao Soi,
(Only found in northern Thailand) and each one was spot on — perfectly balanced between spicy, tangy, and fragrant. You can tell the chefs know what they’re doing and cook straight from the heart.

Can’t wait to come back — khob khun ka! 🇹🇭❤️“

“The food here is absolutely phenomenal! This is the most authentic Thai food I've ever had in San Diego. This place is really a hole in a wall, and it could be hard to find. The Shrimp Pad Thai is one of the best I've ever had. Definitely my favorite place to get Thai food from now on.“

“Great meal tonight, love thid place“

“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 😁😉“

“Krua is our go to Thai food in the Southbay. Seriously, their flavor and authenticity can't be beat. We've been happy customers for years. We love their noodle dishes like Pad Sew Ew and Pad Thai. They have amazing curries too. Our favorites are yellow, red, green and pineapple curry. My personal favorite is the Tom Kha. Krua reminds me exactly of the food we experienced in the markets during our travels in Thailand. A must.“

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

“This food is amazing and I am hooked on it“

“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.“

“Really delicious and reasonably priced food. Love the fusion style. The Tokyo fries are one of my absolute fav things on the menu. As well as the fried kale and Banh mi 🤤 Decent beer, wine, teas, and specialty drinks.“

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

“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.“

“Love their Pad Thai ...... the best in San Diego 👍🏼“

“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“

“We discovered this spot a while back and recently visited San Diego again and had another chance to stop by. By far this sweet little spot makes Lao Cuisine closest to homemade. All the flavors were there in the mix salad which I loved because a lot of Lao Cuisine don’t make it this way. And the fried chicken and sausage was a great pair with the salad. We also had a side of sticky rice. The set up was changed and may have different ownership? But we felt like it still hit the spot.

Many complain about the cost, unless you know how much time and effort goes into Lao Cuisine, it shouldn’t be any less than any other cuisine. Otherwise, it may be best to make it yourself at home than complain about the cost of what things should be.

We thought it was all reasonable and generous amount of food in this economy. My husband and I still didn’t finish it all.

We visit San Diego often so we will be back!“

“Got drunken noodles with shrimp and Thai papaya salad to go. Both are fresh, flavorful and delicious. Will definitely come back to try the other items on the menu. The menu is pretty extensive with salad, soup (pho also), appetizers, and hot food sections. Service was pleasant and quick.“

“This place is really good! Loved the fat little spicy sausages, the Lao salad, the crying tiger beef, the Mok fish and the heavenly jerky. So flavorful, warmly spicy but with lots of lemongrass and herbal flavors. Not a fancy place, but you can definitely feel the love.“

“Says Chinese food but also has Thai food but a bunch of Vietnamese writing. Red curry is spicy. They included tail on for shrimp in the curry. Kung pao chicken was crispy and had a nice amount of heat. Pork and Chinese broccoli was good. Thai noodles with beef needs improvement and more beef. They didn’t include rice with my curry and wanted to charge $2.75 for some which is absurd. Parking lot in back“

“I always have a wonderful time at Thai Taste 2! The staff is always friendly and make great recommendations for the menu. I suggest trying the pad see ew or the spicy noodles, and don't forget to order the cream cheese wontons! You won’t be disappointed if you come here!“

“Excellent service! The owners are wonderful & we’re super helpful! I actually called in my order and came to pick up and they made sure I had everything I needed before they left my table. Highly recommend them if you’re looking for Lao food in Chula!“

“Needed a hole in the wall Chinese spot and I found it. Tracked them down from their second location in Grossmont Mall. Food is actually good. For San Diego, this is as good as you can get off Convoy. Classic family owned restaurant, looks like it’s been in business a while. Very kind and attentive with awesome food.“
