Thai One On came up and was open when so many other locations were closing down before dinner service. I placed an order online for panang curry with shrimp, tom kha soup, crispy veggie rolls, and fresh spring rolls. There were other reviews mentioning some missed items for takeout, but everything was there and tasted great! The panang curry was one of my favorites. I chose a spice level of 2 thinking it would be better to play it safe and rightfully so. The flavor and spice were perfect, but had I gone higher, it would've been too spicy. We finished off our meal with thai teas that were sweet and creamy. The space was also really big inside and they had a bar area. Definitely a place I'd love to check out for a dine-in expereince!

I always order the glass noodles with beef, and sometimes I'm asked on my preference on the spice level, but I don't mind since I add my own from the chili sauce and chili flakes they provide. The employees are always polite and inquire about anything else I would need. Today, I ordered the usual glass noodles with beef. They were delicious, and have always been consistent in flavor and a favorite of mine. I tried the mango sticky rice for the first time, and it was so so good!! I am glad I tried it at this place, it was very much worth it. This place is a gem, and I understand why their prices are high, as almost every restaurant is dealing with that, but I don't mind since the portions are more than enough, the service is always great and the food is always amazing.

This version also has fresh veggies (frozen large peas and cubed carrots ruin the flavor of the whole dish and so many restaurants in SD county use them!) egg and lots of crab. I am over-the-moon happy!!! Besides that, I also ordered the chicken satay, chicken fried rice and basil flat noodles with chicken. Everything was fresh and of high quality. The satay was a little dry, but I actually prefer chicken that way. All the dishes had plenty of meat! The owner was super friendly and offered me water while I waited for my to-go order. He told me they've been there 25 years, which is impressive as they are tucked away in the far corner of a plaza. Overall, this place exceeded my expectations and I am excited to try more of the menu and hopefully dine-in soon. Pros: - friendly - crab fried rice!! - reasonable prices - tons of parking - fresh ingredients - ambience and decor - quick service - to-go orders packed nicely Cons: - very tiny location - peanut sauce is a bit runny

I ordered pho and my partner ordered a steak plate. Food was good, but portions are small. We ended up eating again soon after. It's awesome that they source locally and use organic ingredients.

Post-mortem...

As noted by its name, this place served a fusion of Chinese and Korean cuisines. Their Encinitas location took over what used to be a roadside diner along N Coast Hwy 101. The seating capacity was less than 40 people which included a few high-top counter spots. At my last visit, I came for a late dinner before their closing time. A large menu was posted on the wall behind the service counter that listed about two dozen food offerings. The items seemed to be comfort food like pot stickers, spring rolls, fried rice, and chicken wings but flavored with unique combinations of seasonings and spices. I started my meal with the Marinated Beef Tri-Tip Skewers which came as a set of three and a Chinese mustard for dipping. The meat was very tender and well-seasoned. I also ordered the Cumin Lamb Stir Fry which the cashier said was medium spicy. After tasting a couple of bites of the noodles from the serving bowl, I agreed that the heat level was moderate, even for my palate. I thought the portion size should have been more for the price. That was my main criticism for both items, otherwise the food was solid for an Asian fusion eatery.

Food: I ordered the Panang curry with boiled tofu, and it was so flavorful, warm, and comforting. It was a bit too spicy for me (I should have asked for an adjustment), but I definitely recommend. My friend and I shared the spring rolls (the peanut sauce was warm and very flavorful) and the mango sticky rice (one of the best I have - sweet and salty, creamy). Service/Ambiance: My friend and I went when it was a little less busy and it was raining outside, so we were able to sit inside! Service was great - very kind, attentive staff. And the inside of this place has very cool decor - great ambiance! Vegan: Overall, this was a great place for vegans/vegetarians and meat eaters alike. They had mock meats for meat eaters and those who are curious to try, but also had options for extra veggies, tofu, and chickpeas/beans. Will definitely bring my vegan/vegetarian friends here. Excited to come back and try different dishes!

It was as if they were trying to convince me they were the same, seemed like they didn't want to go the trouble of remaking them, but did after I insisted. Much better. Also mentioned we were there for a birthday but they did nothing special food-wise, no embellishment to plate nor complementary dessert for birthday person which was a bit disappointing considering many places do.

I ordered a meal and all sorts of things got added to my bill that most wouldn't notice. Extra chicken, vegetables. I ordered Tom Kha with chicken, not double chicken and not extra veggies. My $14 dishes were all $18. I was with my kids or I would have made more of a scene in getting it corrected on my bill. It wasn't one item that was incorrect. It was $20 in extra fees. It was embarrassing. I hope they catch who did that and correct this. I understand you want to get more money, but this isn't the way. Also got fried egg rolls despite asking for spring rolls. Bill was around $90 for $60 worth of food. I do think this was an exception and will give them another chance. Just make sure you look closely at your bill for extras you didn't order.

My wife and I have been searching North County for years for same, to no avail - so we readily accepted. We arrived a few minutes before 1pm - and our first thought was - what a strange location. About a block off of Carlsbad Village Drive, but nothing else really around to drive foot traffic. Our second thought was - ok, where's the entrance? We did a complete loop before finding it, and headed upstairs to the restaurant. And our third thought was - where IS everyone? Total ghost town - and to be honest, at that point, I was pretty sure that this was yet another poor attempt at an authentic Thai restaurant. And - I was wrong. Our friends arrived shortly, and we sat down and perused the menu - even though we all kinda knew what we wanted, we wanted to see what else was out there - and good thing we did, as my wife changed her mind and went with Pumpkin Curry. I, being a total creature of habit, went with Yellow Chicken Curry with no onion - and an appetizer of Chicken Satay. Our friends ordered also, starting with Drunken noodles, another Yellow Curry (with tofu), and Rad Na (pork version). Let me interrupt this with a quick aside - the waitress was absolutely wonderful during the order process. For each entree, she specifically asked the spice level (1-10), and delivered somewhat accordingly. The food started arriving shortly thereafter - and there was a LOT of food arriving! The only nit I had was that, in my demented brain, appetizers show up before the main course. In this case, everything arrived together. That said, the main courses were incredible (and again, HUGE). While I would submit that while I asked for a spice level of 10, I got more of a 4 or 5, but when Thais see blonde hair blued eyed white guys, they tend to assume (usually correctly) that they have no idea what they're asking for. In my case, they were wrong. No biggie, I'm used to it, and next time, will definitely up the ante on the spice issue. My wife LOVED her Pumpkin Curry, and our friends enjoyed their meals as well. They pretty much finished off the Drunken Noodles, so clearly that was a hit. The only other nit that I ran into was the Chicken Satay. These things were HUGE - so much so that I could cut them in half along the length, and make a huge chicken sandwich. I've never seen it done this way - but my wife and I split one and took the rest home - that's how huge they were. The peanut sauce was amazing, as was the Thai Cucumber Salad (actually one of the better ones I've had - in California OR Thailand - it was that good). Bottom line, a worthy discovery, AND they use Door Dash - so we'll be eating Aroi Thai - Carlsbad quite a bit going forward - actually real Thai in North County....outstanding!!!

Wow! This has to be the BEST chicken satay I have ever had! I needed a quick bite of protein and,…read moreif I'm being honest, wanted a treat of plain white Thai sticky rice as well. The sticky rice was as good as I imagined, but the satay was a fabulously pleasant surprise. Not only was the chicken tender, it was a generous potion of breast meat on each of the four sticks. The accompanying peanut sauce was also good and not too sweet. This was a spur of the moment choice while I was in the area, so I didn't order until I walked in. The lady who took my order and payment was very nice and had a warm, caring smile. This Wednesday night there was a steady stream of pickup orders, walk-in to-go orders, like me, and customers dining in. I only waited about 15mins and received a discount for paying cash. While waiting, I admired the low light, intimate setting with plenty of room for couples or groups. The decor was festive for the holidays, but also beautiful Thai touches. A very nice space. Other dishes coming from the kitchen to the dining room also looked delicious and I would love to come back when visiting this area again. Cheers! "CC"

The menu isn't extensive but offers you the typical dishes you would hope to find at a Thai eatery. Here you will find tom yum soup, 3 different kind of stir fry noodle dishes, 3 fried rice options, and curry. I went with the shrimp pad thai, requesting for the peanuts to be placed on the side, followed by a few drinks. Cook time took a while. I did keep in mind that the flow of customers were plentiful and this just meant my food was made fresh. You are provided with a food beeper and are alerted to come up when your order is ready. The food itself looked good although the portion was a little skimpy. Maybe it was the large bowl that it is served in or maybe it was the food rush?? The noodles were coated completely in the tamarind sauce- so much that the dish was quite mushy. The shrimp was cooked well. 3 stars. The food is okay and the customer service is legit. The staff can be a little bit more generous with the napkins though...
