Drunken Fried Rice Mango Sticky Rice Chicken Satay
Sean C.

I've been to IB Thai probably twenty times. They even catered some food for my wedding. Everything is usually 15 minutes from phone order to pickup. The mango sticky rice and satay appetizer are excellent. And really, the chow mein is killer. I wasn't expecting it from a that restaurant. But also the orange chicken is also stellar. So yeah, Chinese food at the Thai place. Everything I've had is great, which has been a significant amount of the menu. It's fast, affordable, and tasty. So good.

Chicken Pad Thai level 4 to go
Jason F.

IB Thai is a local favorite with delicious flavors and friendly staff with the option to dine in a dimly lit and quiet setting, but tonight, we opted to get out Pad Thai to go. I ordered the chicken with a spice level 4 and the beef with a spice level 10. This is the place to go if you want intense heat without sacrificing taste!

IB Steak
Vivian T.

Ordered delivery for lunch on UberEats and I got their IB Steak plate. It comes with steamed vegetables and a side of white rice! I didn't eat the rice, but for portion sizes, it was definitely enough for me. Other than no utensils, which was probably just forgotten in the bag, the steak was a bit hard to bite. That aside, it was so delicious with their steak sauce! It was limey, salty, and peppery without it being too much. I ordered spicy and there were lots of sliced peppers, but it wasn't a burn-my-mouth spice. It was nice to try this spot out for delivery, although, I cannot give a full rating for the dining experience. I did enjoy the steak plate and was satisfied for lunch.

So yummy

I was craving mango sticky rice dessert and a Thai ice tea with boba so yummy! Def recommend to come here

Orange chicken

I love this place. It's literally around the corner from my house. The food is always fresh. The staff is extremely hospitable. I always get the orange chicken or the Ib steak, and ask for extra sauce it is delicious!!!

Chicken Pad Thai, Peanut Sauce Salad, 2 Pork Gyoza
Daygoeats 9.

This is a small and affordable Thai place in IB with some respectable lunch offerings. I've been craving Thai food after trying it in Pacific Beach and I wanted some despite being down here near home, so I tried this place out for lunch on like a Thursday at 2:50 PM. I got myself the Chicken Pad Thai Lunch at spicy level 5, which comes accompanied with a salad covered in a type of peanut sauce, and 2 pork gyoza. Paired it up with some veggie rolls and my friend wanted her side of rice and we had a pretty hefty meal for only around 24 dollars with our drinks included. The service was also good as the guy was nice and patient with us which is always nice. I have to say though, that I didn't love the Pad Thai this time and the chicken seemed a bit dry to me. The noodles were also not my favorite and I'm not really sure how to describe why they weren't but the flavor, texture, and vibe was just really not there for me. I also just didn't love the veggie rolls because they had a very mild but still underlying wrong flavor that you get like when you buy those make at home spring rolls and they just don't hit like they're supposed to. The lunch deals are cheap and the food isn't bad, but it's not the best Thai i've had here in San Diego (55 Thai is still king) and I can't say I recommend this spot. I'm gonna change the noodle types and I'll be back for a second calling maybe I just need some Pad See Ew, but I really made me sad because I wanted this Thai food to be bomb soooo bad. It's ok thought, they were still very nice and acocomodating, and they have boba so maybe i'll try that too and see what else they have to offer. Also some reviews have mentioned it but this is most definitely a togo focused kinda place, and they gave it to us in togo containers without forks, he was almost surprised we had sat down and wanted to eat it there. People are mean about the interior but hey it's just another small restaurant, but yeah they totally have that togo vibe going on. To sum everything up tho, DO GET the lunches if you can make it before 3 PM because the price makes it worth getting the food every time i mean mann just look at the leftovers I had. DO NOT get the veggie rolls I'm sorry I hate that they were bad but they were not good. And outside of that try this place out once especially if you can catch the deals but do come in with some lower expectations. And I would drop my spice down to like a 3 it's not that I don't like spicy but I'm big on you can always add, never take out and 5 was just a tad bit too spicy for me. Outside from all that, it's DAYGOEATS approved but not certified.

This is by far my ULTIMATE favorite Thai place. I've driven all the way from Point Loma just to come pick up my order. Yes I'm sure there is other delicious spots in Point Loma area, but I get my money's worth at IB Thai. I actually discovered this spot on Groupon first. Groupon has a 15% discount and I decided to use it and after my first visit they had a dedicated customer. My husband even loves coming here and gets a huge smile on his face when I tell him let's get food at IB Thai. They are quick with your order and make sure everything is safe and sanitary when you come in to pick up your order. I highly recommend IB Thai if you love AUTHENTIC Thai food. Oh also their levels of hot range from 1-10 and level 5 is pretty freakn HOT!!! And that's coming from a person who regularly eats spicy food.

Orange Chicken Special
Hannah B.

Absolutely love this place and the employees! The food is fantastic.. we haven't ordered anything we didn't even remotely love. Their lunch specials are really great and you get a decent amount of food for the price. Whenever my partner gets home from a work trip we always get to go-- our usual order is chow mein with chicken, chicken fried rice & orange chicken! We also love the coconut shrimp It's a lot of food for $30 or so, and we have leftovers!

Pad Thai Noodles
Josuph S.

Great food and really no costumer service. I ordered the pad tie and crispy chicken wings. 10/10! Definitely will be coming back.
