Coco Curry has amazing customer service! As someone with social anxiety, I felt so welcomed when the staff invited my sister and me in for a free sample. They were so kind and friendly that we ended up coming back a second time to sit down and eat. We felt completely comfortable asking questions about the menu, and the staff were patient, helpful, and never made us feel rushed. That level of kindness really made our experience special. The food was absolutely amazing too, which was just the cherry on top! I'll definitely be coming back. read more

One of the cutest, well maintained, and quiet establishments in the area! The vibes are hole in the wall but also a hidden gem, and the food and service is phenomenal. The owner will personally give you samples of all the curries before you sit down so you know exactly what you're getting. All of them are super good, hearty, and flavorful. I personally love the panang curry with the grilled shrimp-- the shrimp are fresh and large and very juicy. This is our second time back, and will definitely be back again and again. read more

First time visiting. I rate this a 4 and I will share why. 1. The flavors are good! Green papaya salad, spicy cucumbers and massaman curry were all very enjoyable. 2. The atmosphere is chill with bossa type music in the background. The shop is relatively small but once I was seated I didn't even notice. The large store front window provides plenty of natural light. 3. They have friendly service! They provided us with taste samples of all the curry options. 4. I'll stick my two downside points here... parking is very limited. I feel they deserve more parking, but it also makes for a great takeout. As a girly that loves spicy food, I wish there spice levels were a little hotter. My medium spice felt much more like a mild. Overall I recommend. Especially if you are in the area or if it's on your way home. I think it lends itself to being a good takeout spot. read more

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!! CoCoCurry has been on my list of places to try since they opened last year, but I just made it there for the first time this week. All I can say is I'm disappointed that I put it off for so long because they're now one of my favorite spots in SD! This place is truly a hidden gem. CoCoCurry is a build-your-own Thai curry spot where you choose between six curries, a base, and a protein. There are so many options that it was hard to choose, but I went with the khao soi curry medium spice with rice as my base and crispy chicken thigh as my protein. Let me just say - they are generous with the portions and don't skimp on the protein. The khao soi curry was PERFECT - sweet, savory, tangy, and spicy. The crispy chicken was well seasoned and crispy. I truly enjoyed every bite of my meal. If it's your first time, they'll give you samples of each curry. I also tried the mango sticky rice which was delicious too. The service was also amazing too. I'm not sure if the woman who helped me is also the owner but she was one of the kindest people I've ever met. Although I ordered to go, you can also dine in. The space is not huge but there's a hour 10 tables and very nice. There is a parking lot but very small. I can't wait to go back and will be going at least once a month now that I know how delicious this spot is! read more

We came here on a whim and were warmly welcomed by the proprietor, Lita. Parking is a bit tight as the lot isn't very big but we were able to find a spot. Lita welcomed us and let us taste test all the curries. It was very good and we had a hard time deciding which flavor to get. We appreciated being able to taste the curry before ordering as it made us excited to come here again in the future for the other flavors. You can tell the curry is made with quality ingredients as it was robust and flavorful. It was of a good thickness, not watery at all. My group ordered out and as I wasn't very hungry, I kept mine for the later. I ordered the marinated steak strips in the Massaman curry (my #1 recommendation) with egg noodles and side of steamed broccoli. When I finally had my dish, the meat was tender and not overcooked, even after microwaving. The steamed broccoli was standard fare but the noodles were really good. The marinated steak strips were thin but there was a good amount. The only complaint my group had was there was not enough curry. It was sent home in cup - like the kind you'd get for a small cup of soup. At the restaurant, we could see they gave much more curry on the plate than what was given for takeout. It made our dish rather dry and lacking, but I found a way around it by dipping my noodles and beef in the cup. I recommend doing this if you get takeout. I suggest the owner increase the amount of curry given with takeout by using a bigger container. That's the only reason for the 4 stars. Price was reasonable. read more

CoCoCurry - Marinated Steak Strips and a side of steamed broccoli - Thai Near Me - San Diego, California

Small parking lot with only a handful of spaces. In a kind of dicey part of town. When you enter, they like you to try all the different curries before you decide. Everything is customizable, including your starch, protein and additional items you would like with your curry. You can also add a side of various small dishes like green papaya salad, tom yum soup and others. My friends wanted to try this place. Great flavors and service! We had a large group and some food was served Luke warm or cold. We told our server who replaced the cold food items. I got medium spicy Khao soi with crispy fish over egg noodles. It was not that spicy at all but I was able to add extra chili to it. Overall we all enjoyed our meals and would return. read more

A MUST GO-TO FIR CURRY OR SAUCY DISHES! My husband and I came here on the seven day evening. (We were trying a new restaurant in the college area, but found out it was a ghost kitchen.) While looking for a place for dinner nearby, I stumbled across this gem of a place. Parking is tight (small parking lot), but we manage to get a spot. We were greeted as we entered and were offered to sample the curries being offered. It was a small taste on a tiny pink spoon, but don't underestimate the flavors. It was all tasty! I love that there were quite a bit of options between the flavors of sauces, base, and proteins (they even have tofu). A great quick serve place! I ordered the grilled chicken with egg noodles and Khao Soi sauce and optional veggies. My husband ordered the brown rice with grilled chicken and Massaman sauce with broccoli. All were delicious. If you love curry or sauces (I'm a saucer kinda girl), make this place your next meal. read more

A hidden gem in City Heights!! I'm really hoping they continue to get good business and can expand to a larger space soon! - PARKING - Basically non-existent... there's 1-3 cramped spots right outside the shop but otherwise you might have to drive to the neighboring streets and walk over. - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - Similar to the parking situation, the interior of the shop is just as cramped. There's a narrow walkway that leads you to the counter where the staff welcomed us very warmly. She asked if it was our first time visiting, and because it was, she led us through a curry sampler taste test! She gave us small spoons of each curry so that we could make a more informed decision, which we really appreciated! The restaurant only holds about 5-6 tables, most of which only seat 2 people. I wouldn't plan to bring more than 4 people here, otherwise you run the risk of not being seated. - FOOD - Khao Soi: I love Khao Soi so when I saw they had one, I was very excited to try it! After the initial sampling, I was sold! I ordered it with the egg noodles and the fried chicken thigh. The fried chicken thigh was more reminiscent of a chicken tender rather than an actual leg/thigh piece. Still, everything about the dish was delicious! I also got to try my best friend's Penang Curry which she got with Chicken Breast. We both loved the Penang and Khao Soi curry the most, so this was also yummy to me. Her dish came with green beans and bell peppers as well. - OVERALL - Such a hole-in-the-wall and amazing small business! I really do hope they can expand in the future so it won't be as hard to visit them! read more

This is my new favorite Thai spot! I'm so glad I got to try them out and I'll be a regular here for sure - parking is tiny and there's only a few spots in the small plaza - the owner is so so friendly and welcoming! She gave us a sampling of each curry which was so helpful as we ordered online and were debating between which curry to choose. Now I know which ones I would want to try next time! (1) fried fish fillets with green curry in egg noodles - such a yummy combo, the fish had a light crisp and light salt and pepper seasoning, green curry was sharp and bright and the egg noodles soaked all the goodness in (2) duck leg with khao soi curry in egg noodles - a hit as well! Duck was tender, juicy, and flavor. This curry was slightly richer and deeper in flavor (3) drunken noodle with shrimp - the shrimp was such a good choice here, it was plump and fresh, it could use a little more seasoning but paired with noodles it was great - noodles were good as well! Chewy and not too mushy read more

CoCoCurry found a new customer! I received amazing customer service! Oh I wish I would have got her name but not only did she welcome me immediately, she asked if I wanted to try all the different curries. I sampled each one and they were absolutely delicious. I had a hard time choosing which one I wanted. I ended up choosing grilled shrimp with flat noodles and the Khao Soi Curry. I added some heat as well! This curry I was told is a northern Thai curry. I also added Thai omelet for $3 more. As soon as she put the food down I smelled the warm spices with the cilantro. The shrimp were nice size (tail on). I enjoyed every last bite and left nothing. Flavors were bold and the medium heat was perfect. So many different ways to create your food just how you like. The add on prices I feel are reasonable. CoCoCurry is small inside but the decor is amazing, the only downside is the parking. Very tight parking! I can see them opening up another location eventually. I highly recommend going and giving them a try. read more

It was my first time trying CoCoCurry. There were a few parking spots in front of the restaurants. There were menus everywhere: in front of the door, side of the cash registers, and behind the registers. So you have plenty of time to look at the menu before sitting down. I was greeted immediately by this wonderful server. She was honestly so delightful. Very kind and hospitable. She made you feel welcomed. First question she asked was "is this your first time? Do you have any allergies?" I loved that CoCoCurry consider allergens before taking any orders. Then she offer free samples before ordering any food. I loved the whole sampling experience it was so fun! She was being very descriptive and explain the taste of each curry perfectly as you sample each curry. There were so many options for Thai Curry, other Thai entrees, and appetizers. They also offer mango sticky rice and coconut icecream for desserts. There were pictures of each menu food item on display on the menu. I'll show you some pictures of the food I ordered. We started off with crispy spring rolls. They were 5/5 delicious. Next up, crispy chicken with Panang Curry. The rice was at the bottom of the dish. It was so good I'm planning to buy this dish again. I also got the Pad Thai Dish. Sometimes, pad thai could be too sweet for me. This dish was on the sweeter side so maybe you'll enjoy it. They have two different beef options like marinated strips or steak. My husband order the thai coffee with coconut milk. I don't even like coffee, but this coffee was super sweet and delicious. We ended our meal with mango sticky rice and icecream combo plate. Really great restaurant. Super beautiful interior design and up to date aesthetics. Perfect for photos. Great customer service and yummy food. Parking is the only down side because it's limited parking. Definitely, try out this restaurant. read more

Everything was delicious! Where do I start... the build your own curry concept is so fun. You basically go on a little curry journey before even sitting down, and it definitely wakes up your taste buds. We went with the Massaman with crispy fish fillets and rice, and the Khao Soi with grilled king mushrooms over egg noodles... flavors galore. Lita walked us through all the base and topping options, which made the experience even better and truly appreciate that extra connection. No complaints. 10 out of 10. read more

Are you kidding me??? This was absolutely AMAZING!!! You are greeted by the most amazing, helpful, personable human (Patty) that is welcoming and just as excited as you are! Patty was GREAT!! They give you the opportunity to taste all of the curries! It was pretty hard to choose a favorite as they all were superb. I decided on the Panang and boosted it to a level 3. I'll do a 4 next time( looking for more heat) as this will be my go to weekly! I did add some extras to the create your own... I plan on screaming from the mountain tops to anyone how great this is! Oh, they have wine too! Josh Chardonnay! Ya, I had that as I waited. Thank you!! read more

Two things assaulted my senses the moment I walked in. The first was the girl behind the counter asked me to taste test all five of their curry. She said the khao soi was her favorite, and I was convinced into agreeing. I was also partial to the mustard flavor and fragrance. If I hadn't tasted them, I was probably going to order the massaman. They were all delicious though. Well, I did find the green curry a tad weak, but that was at least partly because I had to taste that one last. And green curry has a softer flavor to begin with. The second assault was there was some relatively loud music playing. Not super loud. Just noticeably louder than average for a restaurant, and yet, it was super relaxing. Because it was, like, some Bossa Nova cafe vocal mix. I only know that because I just could not remember what the genre was called, so I went and asked the employee about the music also. Anyways, I ordered the khao soi (hot) with rice and chicken thigh, and it was amazing. The umami of the curry impressed me a second time. The chicken and breading were both soft. The onions and fried egg also mixed in perfectly. This is easily some of the best curry I've had in San Diego so far. I also ordered a tom yum noodle soup with beef. This was also good, but not as impressive as the curry. I believe their meat is also made the same separately no matter what entree you're ordering, so the meat is not made specifically for the soup. Aside from that, the only other negative I can think of, if it can even be considered a negative, might be the location? The neighborhood outside is slightly sketchy. There was a homeless person sitting in the corner in front of the 7-eleven next door. Another homeless man with no shirt on came around the other side of the building and was hanging around in the parking lot right in front of the restaurant. The vibe of this joint really pulls you in though. Something about it feels like an oasis and encourages you forget about the outside world once you're inside. I don't believe in stuff like feng shui, but if there's any truth to it at all, I'm sure this interior design gets an A+ in it. read more

My wife and I recently tried this hidden gem, and we're so glad we did! I love their build-your-own Thai curry concept because it lets you customize your meal exactly how you like it. I ordered the crispy duck with jasmine rice and Khao Soi curry, while my wife had the soft-shell crab with egg noodles and Khao Soi curry. Both dishes were absolutely delicious--rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The portions were generous, but the food was so good that we finished everything with no leftovers! For dessert, we shared the coconut ice cream with corn and mango sticky rice combo, and it was the perfect sweet ending to our meal. The presentation of every dish was beautiful and showed a lot of attention to detail. We also had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners, Lita, who personally served our food. She was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. It's always exciting to see a newer local business doing things right. If you're looking for authentic Thai flavors, a fun customizable menu, and warm hospitality, this place is definitely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back! read more

I have dined in and ordered out from here multiple times. Ambience is good. Small little seating section for about 5 to 6 groups. The restaurant is decorated nicely love the pops of yellows that represents curry. Service is always great when I come in. Greeted as soon as you walk in the door and promptly seated as I have not been when it's been busy the cashier offered a tasting of each curry so that we knew which one we would love the most. I have had a variety of the dishes here and they all have been phenomenal. The most recent dish I've had was the salmon with rice and the pan curry. The flavors were dancing in my mouth. Parking is shared with the others two or three stores in the plaza. It can be a bit tight. I would highly recommend. read more

CoCoCurry - GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST and TOM YUM NOODLE SOUP - Thai Near Me - San Diego, California

I bookmarked this spot last year and we finally got around to dining here on Thursday for lunch at noon. Parking lot is shared with 7-11, Barbershop and Jewelry store. It feels a little sketchy on the outside but the inside feels like sunshine. We were greeted by the friendly woman behind the counter. We welcomed us warmly and clearly explained the process and other menu offerings. We got to sample all the curry sauces, it was hard to choose since they were all divine. She sat up at a table and brought over menus and water. I peeked at the menu before we arrived and had my heart set on Khao Soi with the steamed tofu, rice noodles and Papaya Salad on the side. My friend ordered Massaman with veggies and Jasmine Rice. She also got a Thai Iced Coffee Togo. Both of our meals yummy. I wish my Papaya Salad came with the fermented fish sauce. We ended up stay long after we finished lunch just chatting. There were a few other patrons dining during our visit. Definitely tempted to come back to try a different combination and may the mango and sticky rice. read more

They also have other dishes as well if you don't want curry. We order the khao soi, Penang, and green curries. We had the crispy duck, salmon, and chicken. Also ordered the papaya salad.

It was our first time and we were greeted warmly. Our waitress had us try all the curry flavors and they were honestly all delicious. I've never had an experience like this before and the customer service was amazing. For my first visit I had the fried softshell crab with the khao soi and egg noodles. It was delicious and I wish my stomach was big enough to try more food but it looks like I will have to return again so I can try the other flavors and protein options.

The girl that served us was very nice and informative because we did not know what we wanted. They have other dishes as well but the curry was the star. There's also a few selection of beer and wine.

Found this Thai curry spot near where I lived and went for dinner. If you are dining there, know the dining area is rather small. The staff are all so welcoming and helpful when it comes to the curry you want to have with your food. They even let you sample each one so you can pick the one you like best; although, they ALL were amazing, making it hard for me to choose. I ended up getting the Panaang curry with rice and a curry pastry as an appetizer. The curry pastry was filled with potatoes and other vegetables and served with a sweet and spicy sauce to dip it in. The curry was packed with flavor with a subtle kick to it as well but not overwhelming. I will definitely be making this spot a recurring dinner spot! read more

Pretty cool restaurant! It's the only Thai restaurant that I know that offers free tasting on their curry so you can taste every flavor which helps you decide which curry is the best on your liking. Their approach is also very different than most regular Thai restaurants, instead of ordering every entree individually they serve their foods in 3 steps! First: You have to pick your choice of protein. Second: You pick which curry you like best Third: You pick your base with their choices of either jasmine rice, brown rice or your type of noodles. Side dishes is optional, we ordered the omelet, it was good. The place is not big but it's cute! I love the Halloween decor. Place is clean and service is fast. read more

OMG! I'm in LOVE w/ CoCo Curry!! This spot is love at first sight! They've only been open for 5 months, but everything about this place is already perfection - from the adorable interior and warm greeting to the samples they offer of every flavor (which made my decision SO hard and helpful!). I'm so glad I got to try them all because every single flavor was amazing. My top 3: Panang Khao Soi Yellow Curry Honestly, I wanted all three - but I went with the Panang curry with jasmine rice and chicken breast, added potatoes, and a side of boiled egg. The egg was cooked perfectly, the rice portion was generous, and the potatoes were tender and flavorful. Everything tasted fresh, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully plated. I finished with the mango sticky rice, which was the perfect sweet ending - so good! Even the vibe inside was perfect: the music volume was just right and gave such a chill, cozy feel. LOVED THE PLAYLIST! I got a thai tea with coconut milk - was creamy, sweet, and absolutely to die for!! 1000/10! The owner was so kind, checked on me often, and even let me know their updated hours (closed on Mondays!). Such a sweet touch. I have no more words to say - this place truly has my heart and stomach! I'm already planning my next visit. Heads up: Parking is in a small structure, so just a note for anyone visiting - it's a tighter setup but still manageable, and the restaurant is handicap accessible, which is great. Totally worth coming out for this spot! read more

I love the curry flavor tour! I think this is the only Thai place I know of that allows you to sample their different types of curry before settling on the one that you want. What a unique concept! I did find it hard to pick just one bc all the curries were so good, and I liked that the staff let me try it in order of mild to hottest so that I can gauge where my tolerance was. I got the ice coffee with coconut milk and the green curry on greens with tofu. I would absolutely order these again. Very takeout friendly but we decided to dine in and the tables were almost full by the time we left. I don't know how she juggled it all but service was great even w the one front desk person balancing all the dine in and take out orders. One note is that the parking lot does get pretty cramped so to avoid the headache I would just do street parking. read more
