This place was great! We ordered the pad see ew, pad Thai, and yellow curry with duck. I really loved the flavors -- everything tasted fresh and well balanced. Just a small note: if you're very sensitive to spicy food, their medium spice level can feel a bit spicier than expected. I personally enjoy spicy food so it was perfect for me, but for my husband it was a little too much. Overall, the food was delicious and I would definitely come back! read more

Corner Thai Kitchen - Pad See Ew - Thai Near Me - San Diego, California

We mainly come here because it's the easiest place to get khao soi. I realize there are plenty of San Diego Thai restaurants that serve khao soi, but those places usually have bad parking or too busy. This place just happens to be close to our house, has decent parking, and it happens to taste pretty good! They have other standard dishes as well such as pad thai, pad see ewe, and tom yum; they're also good but we always end up getting khao soi, haha. We like to go here a little early to beat the lunch/dinner crowd and we've never had any issues with seating. The service is good, too. My only complaint is that their boba is just ok; we do like the Thai ice tea, but the boba is overcooked and tends to be hard. Otherwise, this is a good place to go for Thai! read more

The Corner Thai Kitchen actually does take up the corner of this shopping/ dining plaza! Its cozy corner was inviting us in for some Thai Eats! There is patio seating, a few tables in the front, and booth seating. Drunken Noodles (4/5): Great chewy texture on the noodles! Decided to get it mild and so without the spice, the overall flavors of the noodles are sweet from the bell peppers and bamboo shoots. There was a decent amount of chicken in the noodles and the portions were well balanced. Pork (4/5): We were recommended this as an alternative to their crying tiger as they were out of it. The entree comes with a bowl of rice. It came with carrots, broccoli, and cabbage for garnish as well as a dipping sauce. I tasted rice powder the sauce, and it was very tangy. I didn't use much of it as I found the flavor of the pork was better on its own. The pork was not dry which was a saving factor we would definitely prefer beef more! It makes for a casual spot for Thai food for the area. I would have to try other options, but overall our picks were decent. read more

Corner Thai Kitchen is the kind of place that reminds you why small dining rooms and big flavors will always beat flashy decor and fusion nonsense. It is authentic in all the right ways, not because it tries to impress you, but because it cooks like someone's grandma who has been feeding a village for forty years and still worries you did not eat enough. The cao soi soup is the star. A bowl that feels like a warm handshake. Rich broth, tender chicken, noodles with just the right chew, and that golden curry aroma that hits you before the spoon does. It is comfort with personality, the kind of dish that makes you pause mid bite and nod to yourself like you just solved a small mystery. The pad Thai is another winner. Balanced, bright, not too sweet, not too oily, and full of that wok kissed depth that only comes from someone who respects the craft. It is the version you compare other pad Thais to without even realizing it. And the lunch specials. A blessing. Generous portions, fair prices, and enough variety that you can rotate through the menu without ever feeling like you are settling. It is the kind of lunch setup that makes you feel like the restaurant is on your side. The dining room is narrow, almost like a walkway, but somehow the booths still give you privacy. It feels less like a commercial restaurant and more like you wandered into a Thai family diner where everyone knows the recipes by heart. There is a coziness to it, a lived in charm that makes you relax before the food even arrives. Corner Thai Kitchen is the real deal. Honest cooking, comforting dishes, and a space that feels like it was built for feeding people rather than impressing them. Five stars for heart, flavor, and that grandma energy that never misses. read more

I have a new lunch routine and it's the best hack when I am hungry but want to be healthy: steamed veggie side, steamed jasmine rice side. Buy the peanut sauce and ask for a side of the vinegar with peppers in it. Mix the sauce with the pepper vinegar. Put rice as your base in a bowl with your veggies and some sauce to top. If you want to be bougie pay them a dollar for small side of crushed peanuts topping and sprinkle it on top. This makes at least two lunches. If I want proteins the fried egg is cooked delicious. But normally the rice and veggies is enough and so delicious. the ladies are always busy but so kind and there is a gentleman sometime working who is very kind too. I love their decorations and they put in effort to always keep it clean. read more

My first time here. They have their own private parking lot and offer both indoor and outdoor seating. Service was good. I ordered the Kapow Thai Kai Dow with ground white chicken meat -- it came with green beans, onions, basil, a fried egg, and rice. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. I really enjoyed my meal! read more

Drunken noodles are still as delicious as the first time I tried them , 9 months ago. Medium spice was a little too spicy for me... black Cheetos spicy level ( hopefully you know what I mean) :)... or very close to serrano chile spicy. Next time I will ask for mild and chili on the side . Service was great- i ordered to go. My only complaint is that now they serve less shrimps :( ... 9 months ago I mentioned shrimp was not enough... this time it was also not enough but, I wont mention how many or else they might serve less :( Will I be back? Maybe... but I will buy my shrimp at the grocery store and cook them myself and I will add to noodles. read more

Corner Thai carryout always hits the spot. I've had the chicken red curry and drunken noodles several times now and it's always spot on. I like that they also let you order the curry sauce itself on its own. I get extra to add to rice at home. One time when I ordered I didn't indicate one of the options and they called right away to confirm what I wanted, so I'm glad they ensure they are preparing the right thing instead of guessing. I definitely need to go in person for their lunch special some time and should probably branch out to other dishes. But those two are my fave, so why ruin the good thing I have going? read more

We found a fly inside one of the spring rolls, it was disgustingly, they need to pay more attention to how they handle the food.

Great experience overall. I ordered the yellow chicken curry, pineapple fried rice with added sausage, wings, and the sampler. The potatoes and carrots were undercooked in the curry. Aside from that the food was delicious and came out in a timely manner. Service was good and friendly. Restaurant was nice and cozy. read more

Came here for a work lunch. There's plenty of parking even during the lunch rush. The place is nicely decorated and outdoor seating is available as well. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The food is really good. The textures were just right and the spicy levels are from level 1-10. I like spicy, so 2-3 was pretty good. Would definitely come here. The Tom Yum was so good and their portions are HUGE. They do have a lunch menu, it comes with sides and a small soup. I can eat, but it was too much goodness for one sitting. read more

I just had an amazing meal at this little spot serving up some fantastic Pad Thai chicken. The flavors were spot on perfectly balanced with that classic combination of sweet, savory, and a little bit of heat. The noodles were cooked just right, and the chicken was tender and flavorful. Honestly, it's one of the best Pad Thais I've had in a while. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and craving some Thai comfort food! read more

Enjoyed the khao soi and satey chicken. Also curry with sticky rice is game changer and everyone should try it!

I was just looking for a place to eat in my neighborhood and I decided to try this place. Food was super good and the portions were pretty large. Ordered a few things to get a feel of the place and everything was delicious. Service was really good. Everyone was nice and attentive. Even had a little small talk which made it seem like they wanted to be personable with their customers. Not a very big place but its got a big vibe. I will be returning when Im in the mood for some Thai food! JB Recommended! read more

Wouldn't recommend. The food was delicious but I wouldn't go back. Only two people to waitress the day we went. The young girl was very sweet and helpful and courteous but the older lady who ended up helping us not even half way through the meal was very rude. She acted like we offended her by coming in and she actually had to work! I don't know why or what her problem was because it wasn't busy but she just seemed she didn't want to be there and certainly not wanting to help patrons at all! And we couldn't tell if there were any other problems, causing them issues. Everything seemed fine except her attitude! read more

They have a really good lunch special that comes with the main item and then with sides of salad, egg roll and cream cheese wonton. Their dinner specials are great too and the positions are big and plenty to feed my family of three. Make sure the spice level you want because it can get spicy. I found out that the curry has a kick and can get spicy, It doesn't bother me but I know some people aren't a fan of spicy food. They do get busy for dinner time, I recommend going earlier before it starts to get busy. They have plenty of parking in front as well as around the place. read more

I really enjoyed this place and will be coming back again. I went here for lunch prior to the lunch rush. The restaurant is small but there is outside seating. I ordered the Vietnamese iced coffee which was fabulous. It wasn't too sweet and was very balanced. The papaya salad was fire, it was sweet and spicy. I added shrimp but it would be fine without a protein. If you like spicy, get it medium or hot. The Tom Khar was super delicious. Highly recommend coming here. Great prices for the quality and they also have a lunch special. read more

Stopped by for a quick order to-go. First time trying this place and couldn't decide between a stir fry or curry. Opted with mixed vegetable entree with duck. In a word, it was terrible. The duck had a real off flavor and was very tough. The ingredients consisted of bean sprouts, mushy cabbage, a few slices of carrot, three small pieces of broccoli and it all was swimming in water. It was more of a soup than a vegetable stir fry. I will not be back. read more

A small group of coworkers and I had a team lunch here last week and had a really nice experience! The staff were friendly from the moment I walked in the door. I let them know that we would be a party of 3 and they were able to find a place for us inside right away. The ambiance was quite casual- and we saw lots of other office staff members having lunch that day. What I ordered: The pad see ew lunch special- for a generous price of $13 I received a soup of the day, a small salad, a cream cheese wonton, a vegetable egg roll, and an order of pad see ew. Every item was delicious. read more

The crab cream cheese was good and the rest were plainly not too bad. I'm not too upset about the food but somewhat the service. I ordered drunken noodle with shrimp(which cost extra) and veggies add in (which also cost extra), I attached a picture and you tell me if you can find a piece of shrimp or veggies add in. I also asked for spicy it was not spicy nor favor full. I showed up to pick up my food and the girls out front gave an extremely awful attitude toward me. The side eye was insane. I have been working in the service industry for a very long time, I don't think that's how you should treat your customers. read more

Pros: Great location in a developing area. Lots of different choices from the traditional Thai foods but also have a few dishes you wouldn't see in other places. Can't wait to try them all.

Stopped by for lunch on the way home at Corner Thai Kitchen. Their food is pretty authentic. Had the chicken Gaprow. It was very tasty. I asked for mild spice. It had fresh beans in it with basil and ground chicken. Small mom and pop pls e nothing fancy but good. The waitress was pretty helpful even if there were only two of them assisting customers. It is a casual place and not fancy. Located at a small plaza with different eateries. I'll have to return to try their pad thai lunch special next time. read more

Went for lunch with my colleague and it got packed really quick during the lunch rush hour. They have a lunch special and a few of us picked that option. It included a main dish like pad Thai, one wonton, one egg roll side salad and soup. With the additional sides the main dish was smaller which is understandable for a lunch special. We all asked for medium spicy but my pad Thai was more sweet than anything. Overall it was a decent spot for a quick lunch. read more

Corner Thai took over the previous Thai establishment and I actually like this place better. Their menu is huge! Mainly Thai dishes with a mix of Lao, Vietnamese and Chinese dishes. We came for dinner and a few days later came for lunch during 11-3pm. They also have happy hour from 3:30-6pm. Has patio seating and 6 tables inside. We've ordered: -curry puffs -mixed tempura -orange chicken -pad Thai (spice level 5) -crab fried rice (spice level 7) -Panang curry -garlic wings -beef pad see ew lunch (spice level 7) -combo drunken noodles lunch (level 7) Pad Thai and crab fried rice are always our go to when it's our first time dining. Both dishes had great flavors but too wet, almost soggy. Great crab portions. We took it home and dried it out a bit and it tasted excellent. The lunch special came with a side of soup of the day, salad, egg roll and cream cheese wonton. Great portions. Overall, Corner Thai was decent except the wings had a smell to it like freezer burn fried in oil. The flavor and texture also lacking. Spice level 7 seems to be the right mark for me giving that kick at the end where you could still taste the flavors. read more

I came here yesterday and ordered a couple of items: The Drunken Noodle and Springrolls with shrimp. The cashier asked me what level of heat I would like my noodle dish from 1-10, 10 being the hottest, I proceeded with the number seven. Seven is my favorite number. I sat in the comfort of my kitchen and began devouring the best Thai dish. I wouldn't go any hotter than a seven. It was very flavorful and clean. I can't wait to come again. read more

Corner Thai is a hidden gem nestled in the Grantville area of SD. I went to the restaurant for a work lunch one afternoon and absolutely loved it. I thought maybe it was delicious because I was hungry that day. Wrong! I got a large takeout order today with several different items and it still hit hard. Corner Thai is now easily my favorite Thai joint in SD. Take it from a dude that was in Thailand a mere two months ago. They have legit Thai dishes. read more

Cute little place. Food is delicious. Lunch specials are great. Be careful--their spice levels are higher than most other Thai restaurants.
