    Bottled beer

    Plenty of parking in the plaza. Love that there's a super charger too. The staff were nice enough the food arrived quickly and the food was delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The tables were clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and had plenty of chili sauce and powder selections.

    This place is ok. We gave it a shot because this is what everyone in the group was going for. The place was empty when we came in. I was able to get the pad thai and on a 5 level spicy. It was not too bad, but at the end of finishing my meal, I was still hungry. Flavour was okay. Everyone else boasted that their meals were good and it was the best thing since sliced bread and that they'll be coming back. I'm sure they would (in a sarcastic tone). I give it a three stars because the staff was very friendly and accommodating to our very large group. I don't think I'll be coming back. I rather would drive somewhere else for better pad thai. I hope this place thrives though.

    Best restaurant in Escondido! My daughter loves this restaurant so much. The rice comes out in heart and flower shapes! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant decorated for my daughter's birthday dinner and made it the best birthday we have ever had[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. We did family platters and it was all set up when we arrived. Recommended for dinner parties. All 3 chefs in my family gave it 5 stars!

    Pad See Ew
    Andy A.

    Don't mind my terrible photo as I started eating and then took a picture since it was worth sharing! I tried the Pad See Ew with Duck and it was so delicious! The duck skin was so crispy and the meat was so good. The noodles were well seasoned and delicious I did the level 5 spicy and it was the perfect amount of spicy where you get the kick but aren't suffering the consequences. I would recommend this place to anyone and definitely plan on bringing my wife's and friends here. Also, I did go during the week at dinner time and they only had take out that day but it was still worth taking it home The place seems family run and I would want to continue going here so please check this place out. I don't think you'll have regrets. I have struggled to find a Thai place since moving to this area from LA and this definitely is going to be my spot now

    I had lunch here during short travels in San Diego. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a casual, small Thai restaurant. It's clean and welcoming....really admired the lighting fixtures![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Pad Thai with chicken was okay. Once thing that would have been better is if more vegetables were included such as carrots. I thought veggies were sparse. The noodles were very tasty! I also tried the sweet, sticky rice with mangoes. It was satisfying after the Pad Thai. Place is located in a strip mall with ample parking out front.

    Had high hopes for proper Thai food, apparently hard to find states side and again, I was disappointed. The Laad was good if a little salty. But they were no lettuce leaves to rap it in. Isn't the rap the point? The duck was awful. Tough and it seems it was made ahead of time, warmed up and covered with sauce so I wouldn't notice.

    Crab Rangoon
    James C.

    Delicious food. Crab Rangoon was tasty. Yellow curry was one of the best I've had. Great service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 10/10 will eat here again.

    Pad Thai Noodles with tofu
    Rebekah H.

    My husband has been here several times in the past, and was finally able to take me to try it out! I got the tofu pad Thai, and he got to try the pineapple fried rice. We both really enjoyed our food; good sized portion, flavorful, and good quality! Our food came out fairly quickly as well, it was a pleasant surprise. It's a nice, quiet little spot. A lot of people seem to order to-go from here. Definitely enjoyed the Pad Thai Restaurant.

    Grand opening! Same menu. Nephew Sing took over

Lunch specials include soup, salad, egg rolls, crispy won tons and your entrees. A variety of regular menu items are on the lunch specials and it's a perfect size for lunch. In fact, the serving size is generous on the large size. I loved the soup. Service is fast and attentive. Thoughtfully checking in on our table of 12. The restaurant is decorated in many Thai art and artifacts. The kitchen is open and we can hear the dishes sizzling and smell the food cooking. Prices are reasonable. Lots of parking available. I was there around 12:30 pm on a Sunday and the restaurant was 85% occupied. They have certainly many repeat patrons. Easy to get to and find. Definitely a return visit call for me!!!

But this time was a huge disappointment after 8 hours of driving I wanted to pick up some Thai food . I ordered a Thai iced tea with boba , Shrimp Thai green curry level 6 spice ... I had only gotten 4 tiny shrimps and over cooked sliced scraps of veggies ? jalapeño , shavings of eggplant and bamboo . The curry itself was very salty and inedible. No spice level just a shit ton of sodium or fish sauce . The Thai iced tea was overly sweet and had soggy old boba . Honestly felt like someone chewed up the boba and spit it out . Disgusting . What a waste of 32.00 even after being so hungry after my drive I couldn't force myself to eat another bite . I'm probably never going to come here again after this experience .. There is also a cooks wanted sign outside .. so that probably is a red flag Hopefully this place can get it together .

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.

Customer service was great as the employee made me feel welcome while taking my order. The dining room is simply decorated but still done professionally unlike some other restaurants in the area. Music wasn't too loud and lighting isn't too bright or too dim. I ordered pineapple curry with chicken, and proceeded to devour it. The curry had decent kick but was also rich in flavor. Rice was nice and fluffy despite being late in the evening right before closing. Next time I visit, I will definitely try out the Lao cuisine as I haven't tried it before. I didn't order a drink this visit but I intend to next time just to see how their Thai tea or boba is. I would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area. Parking is free and easy enough, but the donut shop in front of the restaurant has a flickering light which may irritate some people's eyes. Thai food is almost everywhere in San Diego now but not every shop has fantastic flavor. This place is worth revisiting though.

We got sat right away and they gave us sometime to look through the menu but when we were ready, I order them fried chicken rice plate and the sweet chili sauce was really delicious. We also had the tom yum soup, I would recommend letting the soup keep a bit as it took sometime to heat up and our food started to cook after a few minutes. The soup was really good, we got a spice level 5 and it had a good kick to it. I think it went well with the fried chicken and rice. My wife has the pad thai and we got a 4, the spice level was good for that and the one thing I did really like the sauce on the pad thai wasn't overly sweet like some other places. I will be for sure coming back to try other items !
