    Great place for fast Thai food in the SV/ Rancho SD / campo area. It's in a small area. Available by dine in, take out or food delivery service apps. I really like how convenient this place is to me and how they have a good variety of things on their menu. My recommendation Any of the Curry's Crab fried rice Pad Thai Thai green tea

    This spot was highly recommended and came to check it out. Cozy ambiance casual restaurant. The service was great we were asked to sit wherever we'd like and given menus right away. Appetizer ordered was chicken satay & chicken spring rolls with veggies. The chicken option without pork was good since we have someone that doesn't eat pork in our group. We ordered massaman curry & yellow curry and pad Thai noodles and a small tom yum seafood soup. Everything was very good with an authentic fresh taste.

    If you like Thai food mild or spicy check out "Little Thai Kitchen" in Spring Valley, I highly recommend this gem for their consistency, service, and flavor. If you haven't made up your mind on what to order or what to eat try their Panang Curry, Pad Thai, and Som Tun (Papaya salad) really fresh. Exspect to spend between $50.00- $60.00 for two people. "Little Thai Kitchen" is open Mon-Sun for lunch, or dinner and for Take-Out.

    Thai green tea
    Vanessa D.

    The food was decent but the Thai green tea will be why I go back. It was similar to their tea but not nearly as sweet. I could've just ordered that and been happy. The location was more of a place people would pick up from rather than eat there but it was clean inside and the staff was attentive to us.

    Spaghetti Pad Khee Mao

    Came here cause it was the closest thai spot with good reviews. It's literally the only eatery in the middle of residential homes& 2 businesses. We were seated pretty quickly. Tell me when you guys find the cat I don't know if they forgot about us for a second or they got a big togo order but we sat there for a little. But not too long. After that, the food came out pretty fast. We tried the chicken "fried spring roll", beef pad see ew, &the signature spaghetti pad kee mow (they only had a seafood protein option). The entrees came hotter than the eggrolls, but they pretty much came out at the same time. The eggrolls were nice&crunchy but had a bit too much cabbage for my liking. The spaghetti did taste like drunken noodles but more on the sweeter side. They were generous with the protein especially with the fish. I forgot we got mango sticky rice too! It was as expected, drenched in the milk, but the mango&rice portion was pretty much spot on. I really ate that all up by myself.

    Chicken Pad Thai - no bean sprouts
    Apple C.

    Their food is so good!!! The pad Thai is packed with flavor. Cashier was spot on with service and got my food within 10 minutes. The cook said bye to me and said enjoy my food (aaaawwww!!) the sticky mango rice is so good, the mango was ripe and the rice was warm. The winter shrimp was hot and crispy and the sauce was also flavorful. They have plenty of parking and plenty of chairs available but I usually get my food to go.

    I ordered through Grub Hub so this is just my review based on food and how it was packaged. I ordered only 2 items; spicy chicken Thai fried rice and seafood salad. First off they need a few lessons on how to properly package! My fried rice came in those secure reusable container. My seafood salad that HAS SAUCE came in a plastic biodegradable container that was bigger that also had aluminum foil underneath the food. This is my rant. Why would you put the bigger container on top of the smaller container?! Not only that but why would you put a container that cannot properly close that HAS LIQUID ON TOP of a smaller container so it could spill?! Which it did and the whole bag was a mess. The fried rice was okay and nothing special. It was soggy in some parts. The seafood salad was good. It had a lot of good seafood and I really like the fried fish included. It also included more sauce which I don't understand why they didn't just package the whole sauce up like that. I ordered the spiciest level for both and I like how they added extra dried pepper flakes for me.

    Took two of my young adult kiddos here for lunch. I didn't realize this was the place some of my family members frequent when they are craving Thai food. We started off with Thai tea and I chose the Green Thai tea. It was really good compared to the regular Thai tea. We started off with the Spring Rolls Vegetable -ground chicken, glass noodle, cabbage, taro and carrot served with plum sauce. These were nice, hot and crispy! Som Tum (Papaya salad) Shredded green papaya mixed with Thai chili, carrot, tomato, green bean, garlic, lime juice and peanut It was unique as I've never ordered that before. I actually liked it. Pad Thai with tofu Stir fried thin rice noodle, bean sprout, scallion, egg and ground peanut. My favorite go to on the menu Panang Curry Red & green bell pepper, onion, and lime leaf with coconut milk. Very flavorful and tasty. Mango Sticky Rice The best dessert to enjoy. My experience here was nice. The food is good here and price is reasonable.

    Bug in Drunken Noodle

    This placed used to be better. I will never come back to this place after finding a bug/insect on my food! I was so grossed out! I saw the legs and wings of that insect! I was barely starting to eat my food and left almost everything! I told the waitress about the situation and she offered to remake the plate or get something else but I lost my appetite plus I had questions about their food handling. To make things worse they still charged us for it and didn't take it off the bill! The audacity! I really question their food handling and I just saw they had a number of health violations. Maybe the Health Dept should check this place out because it's not trustworthy imo.

This time I branched out and tried the Thai sausage fried rice and the fresh spring rolls for a takeout dinner, and I am so glad I did. They were absolutely right when they said my tummy would be happy. The experience started with a phone call to place my order, and the person who took it was immediately warm and friendly. When I came in to pick everything up, the ladies behind the counter were genuinely enthusiastic, not in a performative way, but in the way that people are when they're truly proud of what they're serving. They guaranteed I'd love it, and they delivered on that promise completely. It's rare to walk into a place and feel that kind of energy -- a team that's happy to be there and happy to feed you. That warmth is just as much a reason to come back as the food itself. And I will absolutely be coming back to keep working my way through the menu.

I ordered the Khao Soi (I'd never had it before, but I saw curry and pickles on the menu and thought, "Yup!"), and it absolutely blew my mind--hands down one of the best curry dishes I've ever had. My boyfriend got the Spicy Noodles, and they were just as amazing. He had to force himself stop eating so he could enjoy the rest for his lunch the next day, haha. We finished with mango sticky rice, and unsurprisingly, it was incredible. You can't really go wrong with mango sticky rice in general, but this was warm, sweet, and fragrant. Can't wait until we are back in the area to stop by again!

And yes, the drunken noodles at Signature Thai Cuisine is the best I've had. The FBI (fried bananas and ice cream), which I get without ice cream, is perhaps even better than the already dreamy drunken noodles.

    WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT…read more Unfortunately, the service at this location has been highly inconsistent. While I had polite and respectful male servers during my first two visits, my last two experiences were ruined by a specific female waitress (It's the woman who looks like she's had visible facial/nose surgery). During my most recent visit, she completely abandoned our table after bringing the food. We had to go without water refills. She basically dumped our food off, got on what I think may have been FaceTime, was speaking loudly in her language, and just abandoned our table. My husband eventually had to track down another staff member just to get our check and to go boxes. The table next to us remained uncleaned until the male waiter came out. I also observed that waitress acting perturbed and ignoring another table's request for separate checks. Because of this incredibly unprofessional behavior and inattentiveness, I cannot trust eating here again. Management really needs to address her lack of customer service. She's going to make them lose customers. I heard the table across from us saying they weren't coming back either. edit: I noticed she's actually on one of the photos here on yelp throwing up a peace sign with a customer. Management needs to let her know it's not a bar, it's a job. She should have that "friendly" energy with everyone, and she does not ! EDIT: The owner contacted me, asked me to consider removing my review. I will not. I also see several new reviews that in my opinion look a little suspicious, just saying. It's strange how the most recent reviews seen similar, and they all have a generic profile.

The lobby was filling up quickly with dine-in customers and pickup orders, and he was literally doing everything -- cleaning tables, taking orders, running food. Whew. When we asked what was popular on the menu, the responses were short, like "It depends on what you like." He wasn't rude at all -- just clearly overwhelmed and didn't have time to connect. I get it, but when you're dining in, you do hope for a little more guidance. It took about 25 minutes to receive our appetizers, and we didn't get drinks at the beginning. About 10 minutes into eating our appetizers, our entrées came out. I ordered the Spicy Noodles with beef, and my husband ordered the Pad Thai. His plate looked beautiful and tasted fresh and delicious. Mine, on the other hand, looked like the noodles had been sitting -- a bit dry -- although the veggies were vibrant and colorful, which helped presentation-wise. Unfortunately, I kept tasting a bitterness and realized some of the noodles at the bottom were burnt. I'm not one to complain, but I definitely needed water at that point. My husband had to go to the counter to ask for drinks, and Sam apologized and brought them about five minutes later. When we checked out, Sam still had a smile on his face, which I truly appreciated. He mentioned we came at a very busy time and day. I hope that wasn't meant to excuse the hiccups -- a simple apology would've been perfectly fine. Still, I respect that he kept it together and did his best. The dining area inside is small, but they do have an outdoor table option if requested. I'm not sure if this experience reflects their normal standard, and I hope it doesn't. There's definitely room for improvement with food quality consistency and front-of-house support. Sam was kind, and honestly, I'd probably give them another try simply because he handled the pressure as best as he could. But they really need another staff member up front to help with orders, cleaning, and running food instead of having one person juggle it all. Room to grow for sure.
