Worth the wait. Thankfully we were able to snag an outside table for our party of 5 ppl. The flavor of my fishes were top tier. Definitely recommend this place. Portions are large. I had to take home leftovers. Basil Fried Rice w/ Tofu: 4.5/5 Pad See Ew w/ Tofu: 4.5/5

For 3 people we ordered the Crispy…read moreFried Calamari, Pad See Ew with Duck, Yellow Curry with Shrimp, the Crab Fried Rice, and a side of White Rice. This was definitely enough food for all of us with some leftovers to go. We all thought the Crab Fried Rice was the star, definitely very flavorful and the dish that stood out for us. There was actually a lot of crab in it which was great! We had asked for all dishes to be mild because one of my friends has a sensitive stomach, but I think the peppers in the Pad See Ew were actual spicy peppers and not just green bell peppers so that dish still had a kick to it. Overall delicious meal, my only gripe is that they packaged everything to go even though we said we were eating there, so with the small tables it was hard to find enough space for all of our food/tops and such. I guess that's an easy way for us to pack the leftover food to go though, so I understand why they do that. I did see that they're renovating a couple doors down and it looks like there's going to be actual dine-in seating!! It looked super IG friendly so I'm excited to visit when their bigger location opens!

Our server Sophia was very attentive, and checked in with us probably every 5 minutes to refill waters and make sure we were okay. Panang curry is a must try! We also had pad see ew, chicken satay, and pineapple fried rice--all of which were hits.

The food here is most definitely worth the Michelin title. Delicious food, top notch service,…read morewithout the high-end restaurant prices. Hat Yai Chicken - I don't know how such a crispy texture could feel this airy and light at the same time, but they nailed it with the both the batter and the chicken meat itself. It takes someone truly special who knows what they're doing to produce delicious and juicy chicken breast. This chicken itself was extremely flavorful and the sauce it came with took it to the next level. Crispy Crabs - I could snack on this every single day and not be tired. These things are so tasty! The texture makes it super fun to eat and the marinade and seasoning is absolutely addicting. Pomelo Salad - Completely blew my mind at first bite. This is a dish I've seen before and tried to replicate at home without ever knowing what it was supposed to taste like. I thought my creation was decent until I tried Sovereign's version. So this is how it's really done. This dish put mine to shame (and I'm a pretty decent cook if I do say so myself). I don't think I have the audacity to make it at home again after tasting theirs. It is SO good!!! Bangkok Street Noodles - This is a brand new dish for me and the very first time I've ever had it anywhere. With that said, my point of reference isn't the best when trying to compare it. But I will say that the broth is extremely unique and tasty. Loved all the protein that came with the dish although I don't care for the basic boiled egg. I also wish it came with a lot more broth because I prefer a soupy noodle dish. I absolutely loved everything we tried here and was raving about each dish. It's the type of food that was so good, I was making very indecent noises at the table the entire duration of our meal.

Made a reservation for 6 on a Tuesday night-…read more I've heard great things about this place so I was super excited to try it since my family loved Thai food! Overall, really happy with our meal, but the portions are prettyyy small in my opinion for the price. Not very shareable portion sizes. Things we loved: - braised beef Penang curry - duck noodles - crispy crab - ribs Things that were just okay: - spring sticks: they only give you 4 for $14?? And they're so skinny tiny - shrimp pad Thai wasn't anything too special - crab fried rice was also fine but nothing special - the banana rolls dessert was not very good- just a banana wrapped in a spring roll wrapper and fried but no flavor tbh Flavors of all the other dishes were great! Service was alright, nothing especially outstanding but the food didn't take too long to come in. The vibes are cute here and there's lots of street parking around as long as it's not during a baseball game.

Amazing. No notes. Go here if you have taste buds…read more Food: 4.75/5 I've been here a number of times before, and the food is always beautifully presented AND super yum. The star of the show is the Nam Kao Tod. If you like Pad Thai/Papaya Salad and you like Thai food at all, your taste buds are primed and ready for Nam Kao Tod. I swear it. The Pad Thai and Tum Woonsen were a little too tangy this time that I went. This place takes the cake for my favorite SD Thai restaurant. Service: 4/5 My water cup was never empty. The service here is great! Everyone is sweet and accommodating. Special requests are welcomed and honored. Atmosphere: 4.75/5 There is so much natural light here! It is a clean restaurant with a clean bathroom, and the music is not offensively loud. I would recommend this place for your favorite SD Thai restaurant pick. Final rating: 4.5/5 (rounding up to 5 on Yelp)

Highly recommend It's always clean and welcoming

Although I wish there was more lemongrass. It came with a side of steamed sticky rice. I ordered the pad thai with beef. The noodle texture was fantastic. Slightly chewy and bouncy. This was quite a big portion and we packed this to-go. It was still great the next day. My husband ordered the khao soi and the soup was so comforting! I love the red onions, pickled veggies, and fried egg noodles on the side. This sat very heavy though. We left VERY full.

I got us a beautiful Airbnb right next to Our Lady of Peace Catholic Girls School (mind out of the gutter, please). It's gorgeous, but we didn't know where to eat. I did a quick Yelp Search; thank you, Yelpers! I found this place. It was only a stone's throw from where we are staying, which is a beautiful little neighborhood! I was very hungry for some reason, probably from all the moving and lifting of boxes, but we came here. I had the Garlic Pepper w/tofu stir fry, and my husband had the lo mein with mock duck. For an appetizer, we had the tofu spring rolls! DELISH. Becky, our gracious server, was wonderful and was kind enough to break out our bill. I had two Chardonnay nays (Martin reference), which were only $ 10.00 each- good wine and cheaper than that current white wine at the Whistle Stop. My dish was very good. I love the crispy broccoli, and they put some type of cabbage slaw mixed with the sauce in it, which was incredible. My husband loved his lo mein. I am not a fan of lo mein, but whatever, it smokes his shorts. We are moving out of San Diego, so over the next three to four months we will be going to new places in other neighborhoods to try them out before we leave. Beautiful ambiance too; I love the way it's decorated. They are the same group that owns my other favorite Thai place, Plumeria. One last note: some genius wrote that this isn't a good place for vegetarians; I giggled when I saw it on Yelp. Lots of vegetarian and vegan choices right on their menu.

They have a lunch special Monday through Friday from 11:30 AM to 3 PM, ranging from $13.95 to $15.95 depending on the protein you choose.

I got the lowest spice level since I don't do spice, and it was perfect for me. It came with three pieces of shrimp, and the portion was a good size for lunch. The service was great. Our waiter kept our waters refilled, and our food came out in less than 10 minutes. The portions were a decent size and definitely enough to fill you up for lunch. The inside is cute and has a nice atmosphere. There was also plenty of street parking, which is always a plus. Overall, I had a good experience and am looking forward to coming back to try some of their other dishes!

I have not been here in awhile but finally went again this past weekend…read more The parking lot for this spot is honestly hectic in my opinion so I always park on the street. When I arrived, it was not busy and the service was really good. It was clean inside and there is a fair amount of seating. Every single dish was absolutely delicious, fresh, and had me wanting to try even more stuff I haven't before off their menu. Aside from food, I got a coco sugarcane drink, while my friend got their thai tea. I always love the balance of a sweet drink with my food and it all paired well. Can't wait to go back!

This place genuinely gets better every time I have it…read more We've tried so many items on the menu and haven't been disappointed. One of the best things I've tried is the Thai style papaya salad. It's the most balanced papaya salad I've had yet. The Thai basil fried rice & the pork ribs are my go-to's. The fried catfish is solid, I'd rate it a 7/10. So far we've only tried the taro and strawberry sugar cane drink and both are delicious! The location is also spacious, and the service is fairly quick. The parking lot can be a little tough but we've always found a spot. Side note: I haven't tried anything vegan but the selection is HUGE! Seems to be just as extensive as the regular menu.

Unfortunately, everything we ordered lacked taste. We did not finish the eggrolls and ended up splitting the fried rice because it had the most taste in it. The Pad Thai I took home and added some soy sauce, chili paste and made it taste better. I don't know if it was just an off day since all the reviews talked about how good the food was.

Note the interior is pretty small and probably best suited for parties of 4 or less.  TOM YUM FRENCH FRIES AND WINGS: We ordered both to share with the table, and both were crispy and tasty! The fries looked super plain, but I couldn't stop reaching back for more. They're both labelled as spicy, so we were a bit worried for someone in our group who cannot handle spice at all. But even he said they weren't spicy at all--mostly just sweet. So don't let the chili pepper symbol scare you away from ordering! KHAO SOI (CHICKEN): It's not as common to see khao soi on the menu as some of the other more popular noodle dishes, so I usually try to order this if it's available! Theirs had good flavor and a generous portion of chicken.  Overall, I enjoyed all the dishes I tried here and would love to come back to try their other menu offerings! If only they were located someone with more convenient parking. Also note that it was HOT inside...we came on a warm day in August and I was drenched in sweat by the end of my meal.

I chose the regular style (how pad thai typically comes) and it was the sauciest I've ever had and I wasn't a fan. Maybe I ordered wrong but I've never had a saucy pad thai. I stopped by for a quick lunch because this place had great reviews, which I like to always see for myself. Not bad, but not great and just wasn't for me. Service was quick, they made my order in about five minutes and only outdoor seating with a bunch of flies buzzing around. I wouldn't dine here again and would not recommend.
