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.

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.

Appetizer, drinks and dessert menu as April 2026

Casey N.

Came here on a Friday afternoon right at opening. I love Thai curry and was excited to try this place. It wasn't busy for lunch time, though several people came in to take to-go. Seemed to be quite a few first timers. There's a small parking lot with tight spots that is shared with nearby businesses like a barber and 7-Eleven. I would probably recommend just parking on the street nearby. The place had about three four tops, six two tops, and a handful of bar stool seats facing the window/ parking lot. We were greeted immediately asked if we were first-timers, and were offered samples of all their Curry sauces. All were pretty tasty and had no spice to little spice as the baseline. They take your order at your table -- pick your protein, curry, then base. Add sides (+$) or heat if you'd like. Appetizers, drinks, and some alcohol (beer & wine) options available. We ordered the chicken curry puffs - which was plated with a bit of curry sauce. Would order again. For main foods: I ordered the Khao Soi with egg noodles, grilled steak, a fried egg (+$3) with medium heat. My friend ordered the yellow curry, with crispy chicken, and vegetables (+$1: bean sprouts, cabbage and lime), and hot. Medium was explain to be one step above the heat of the samples we had. I would say it was still pretty mild, but tasty. Friend's 'hot' felt more like a 3-4 out of 10. Her plate definitely could have done with more curry, but we were otherwise pretty happy with our food. Decided to order desert - there were 3 options: Coconut ice cream with corn kernels, mango sticky rice, or a combo which combined both desserts. We opted for the combo. The ice cream was a little iced, sticky rice was tasty and warm. We thoroughly enjoyed our dessert. Service was great. It was just the one person working the front of house when we visited. She was pleasant and attentive. We would come back to eat here again.

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.

I'm not a huge fan of curry but this place made me change my mind. They have different types of curry and you can choose your base and protein. I came in with my friends when nobody else was in the restaurant so we were able to sample their different curry flavors. 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. The restaurant was clean. It is a small establishment so it can get crowded and there's not a lot of parking.

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!

GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST and TOM YUM NOODLE SOUP

Kim R.

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.

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.

Laura M.

Delicious! Everything was so good! Service was awesome. Parking kinda sucks though.

This is a such a nice little restaurant. As soon as you walk in you can see and feel the care and love this owner has put into this space. She will greet you first and have you taste her incredible curries. There are six of them. Each are delicious and unique from the others. You chose your protein, add a curry and a base. 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. Each was delicious and we all enjoyed our dishes. We also tried the mango and sticky rice. Definitely will come back here.

Khao soi with egg noodle and softshell crab

Jennifer N.

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. What drew me here was I wide selection of proteins on the menu and they had an Instagram story mentioning that they had softshell crab on the menu. The interior was super bright and clean. I really liked the vibe. I can't wait to try more

The Curry's here are bomb and were hard to choose from I got the green curry with salmon and egg noodles it was delicious my wife got the panang curry with beef and they both hit o want to try their pad see ew noodles next.

I love this place so much. It's like Chipotle but for curry! They have other thai dishes as well but all of their curries are delicious especially the khao soi and massaman. Staff are kind and the coconut thai tea is addicting sometimes i drink two .

From the pictures, I could already tell the food looked amazing, but actually coming in and trying it was even better. When I first walked in, the lady at the front was super welcoming. I told her it was my first time there, and she kindly offered to let me sample the different curry bases. I already knew I wanted crispy pork belly as my protein, but choosing a curry was tough since they all had so much flavor. I ended up going with the Panang curry -- it's sweet and savory, and I enjoyed it so much. I even asked if I could get two curries on the same plate (that's how hard it was to pick!), but she said they couldn't do that. However, she mentioned I could order an extra sauce on the side, which was nice. For my base, I chose egg noodles -- and that was such a good choice! There was enough sauce to coat the noodles perfectly, almost like a saucy pasta. The crispy pork belly was cooked beautifully and full of flavor. For my side, I picked the spicy cucumbers, and wow -- they were so refreshing! The chili sauce on top reminded me a little of gochujang, and it paired perfectly with the cucumbers. I also got an appetizer -- cream cheese wontons -- because I always try those wherever I go. These did not disappoint! They were generously filled with cream cheese, wrapped in thin, crispy wonton wrappers, and folded perfectly. The sweet chili dipping sauce completed them. As for my drink, I ordered a Thai tea (I always do if it's available), and it was exactly how I like it -- creamy, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweetness. As I was about to leave, the lady at the front came up to me and let me know that starting tomorrow, they'll be updating their menu! She said they're going to reduce the prices of the curry bowls and make sides optional add-ons. They're also adding new dishes like Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles, which I'm super excited to come back and try. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! Overall, I'm not exaggerating when I say this place deserves 5 out of 5 stars. It's located in City Heights in a small spot next to a 7-Eleven. Parking is limited (only about four spaces out front), but everything else was amazing. I went around 2 PM, and it wasn't busy -- just me and one other customer. If you haven't tried this place yet, I definitely recommend stopping by! read more

Wonderfully delicious. Food was fresh, and tasted great. Tried the fried crispy chicken with the Khoa Soi curry. Very very good! Also had the spicy cabbage which was a nice balance. Also ordered the Mango Sticky Rice. Absolutely amazing. Mind you it's not out of this world amazing. It just was a solid made dessert. Perfect mango, rice was sticky and the white drizzle of what I think was coconut milk was just spot on. Service was excellent. Friendly and efficient staff/owners. Keep up the great service! Ambiance was pleasant and inviting. The place is in a small strip mall type place with very limited parking. A suggestion would be to order ahead and pickup. Double park for a quick trip inside to pay and go. All in all a great little place with what seems to be well made dishes, with fresh ingredients and amazing flavors. Highly recommend. read more

Very solid quick service curry spot! I'm surprised that I've never seen Thai food in this type of format before (basically a "build your own bowl" situation), but happy that it exists within walking distance of my house. Parking in this area can be brutal, so keep that in mind if you're not local. My family got the panang curry with duck, green curry with chicken, and khao soi with pork belly and all were distinct and flavorful. Also got an order of spring rolls, and while they weren't anything special, they were crispy and hit the spot. The employee who greeted us was also really kind and welcoming, and the small seating area looked pleasant. Will definitely be back. I do miss the Loving Hut Express that used to be in this spot, but I'd say this is a very worthy replacement if there had to be one. (Also, will try to make an updated review with photos next time I visit--we all inhaled our food before we could take our cameras out:) read more

As a Thai/Lao person, San Diego has a few really good Thai spots. The curry here goes beyond that, definitely 10 out of 10 with flavor. Everything on their small (but mighty!!) menu is made with care and creativity, and tastes like they give it their all every time. Proof that a small menu is better because they master everything on it! But honestly, a lot of southeast Asian restaurants lack in ambience and customer service! And here, they go all out with both. Extremely sweet, communicative servers in a super cute spot. This place is seriously a hidden gem with amazing vibes and pretty immaculate flavors! read more

As a curry connoisseur this place is incredible. I got to sample all of the curry flavors and decided on the Khao Soi with crispy duck protein and papaya salad. The duck was actually crispy as advertised and not overcooked. I'm going to come back and try the pork belly next time with the panang curry. The parking is a little challenging, however she explained that you can park in the 7-Eleven lot next door, as long as it's not right in front of the 7-Eleven.

All information is clearly marked on the receipt, large numbers on top with estimated time below for order to be ready. Super small restaurant with only limited outdoor seating. They're planning to move a few doors down, into a larger location, within a few months. Food is tasty, good portion size, and service is limited but friendly and patient. Pineapple fried rice with chicken, and chicken satay, were both perfect. Fried chicken wings are good but not something I'd have again, even though I love fried chicken and chicken wings, just prefer somewhere tspecializes in them. Parking is difficult unless you're willing to walk several blocks

Even though the wings didn't deliver, the chicken satay with peanut sauce was tasty

My friend and I shared a papaya salad, the duck curry, and the beef ribs. We both agreed the duck curry was the best, but the protein portion was a bit small. The curry was flavorful and not too spicy. The beef ribs were good as well, just not what we expected and was saucey. The papaya salad was decent. I felt like there was some flavor missing in it. We were both filled at the end of it. Overall not bad, a bit overpriced, and I feel like you can get more bang for your buck at a normal Vietnamese/ Lao restaurant. It was worth a try though!

I went with one of my girlfriends tonight at about 5:30 PM. We were quickly seated. I ordered a mango lemonade, which came out quite fast and was beautiful. It tasted pretty good too. I asked the server for recommendations on the menu, but she seemed startled by my question, like she was not used to giving recommendations. The two items that she did recommend didn't really sound appealing so I went with Pad See Ew with mock duck. That's one of my go to dishes at a Thai restaurant. I asked not to have any spice level added to my food, but the food came out and was just generally lacking flavor. It was very bland and even though there was a generous portion of vegetables in the dish the mock duck was super mushy. All the places I've ever been to it's sautéed crispy. Also, the the noodles were all stuck together. Like if you put noodles in water to let it boil, but you don't stir them and they just boil like that in a clump. The restaurant was very cute inside. I would be open to trying it again just because I've heard so many good things that I can't believe this is their standard experience.

Tucked away on El Cajon Boulevard, in a part of San Diego often overlooked by casual diners, lies Coco Curry Thai--a true culinary oasis that elevates humble Thai street food to an art form. Forget everything you thought you knew about neighborhood Thai joints; this place is in a league of its own. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere is warm, inviting, and surprisingly chic. The aroma--a complex blend of lemongrass, coconut milk, galangal, and just the right hint of chili--is immediately intoxicating. The Food: A Symphony of Spice and Coconut The heart of Coco Curry Thai, as the name suggests, lies in its curries. While their Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles are perfectly executed, the curries are the non-negotiable must-haves. * Massaman Magic: The star of the show is arguably the Massaman Curry. It's rich, velvety, and features tender, slow-cooked protein bathed in a sauce that balances sweet palm sugar, tangy tamarind, and the deep savoriness of roasted peanuts and potato. It's comforting, complex, and utterly unforgettable. * Green Curry Intensity: For those who crave heat, the Green Curry delivers. It possesses a bright, herbaceous kick, thanks to the fresh kaffir lime and Thai basil, while the creamy coconut milk keeps the fire from becoming overwhelming. * Coconut Soup Nirvana: Don't skip the Tom Kha. Their version is perhaps the richest in the city, with a deep, layered coconut flavor that hits every note: sour, salty, sweet, and spicy. It's the perfect starter, warming the palate for the feast to come. Service and Value What truly makes Coco Curry Thai a neighborhood favorite is the hospitality. The staff are attentive, genuinely friendly, and clearly passionate about their food. They offer helpful recommendations regarding spice levels and pairings. Given the quality of the ingredients and the generous portion sizes, the value here is exceptional. Final Verdict Coco Curry Thai is more than just a restaurant; it's a destination. It's the perfect spot for a cozy date night, a casual weeknight dinner, or a celebratory meal. If you're searching for authentic, passionately prepared Thai cuisine in San Diego, make the trip to El Cajon Boulevard. Your taste buds will thank you. Rating: (5/5 Stars - A Curried Masterpiece) Recommendation: Order the Massaman Curry and a side of their perfectly steamed Sticky Rice. read more

And just like that, one of my new favorite Thai restaurants in San Diego. WOW! What a cool little spot. Not the biggest spot, but love the atmosphere - more intimate with a very welcoming vibe. The owner is great, so kind. Offering samples and assuring I ordered exactly what I wanted. I ordered takeout, the build your own. I got crispy pork belly for my protein, Panang, and a jasmine rice base - I also added two boiled eggs. Excellent! Flavor profile off the charts, great presentation, and a very generous portion. This was my first time and I will definitely be back. Oh, great Thai Iced Tea as well. Get yourself a free one by leaving a yelp review read more

Absolutely loved my experience at Coco Curry! The food was deep, rich, and full of flavor. You can tell it's made with care and quality ingredients. It felt indulgent yet healthy, which is such a rare balance to find. The ambiance was super cute, and the decor was so thoughtfully curated, every little detail felt intentional and inviting. I'll definitely be stopping by whenever I'm in the area, and I can already see myself becoming a regular. Highly recommend! Service was amazing as well. read more

Checked out the new Coco Curry in City Heights and it did not disappoint. One of the coolest things is that they actually let you try samples of the different curries before you order. Love that.
