Food: my fiance and I always get the Pad-Se-Ew, which is phenomenal. Its the best tasting Pad Se Ew in town! Service: Owner is so kind! read more

I've come here for years, whenever I'm in the area. It's a hidden gem. The food is amazing, very reasonable prices and the owner/chef is always so nice and friendly, it's also very quiet which is nice if you want somewhere to go without a sensory overload. My ideal ambiance! read more

Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! My husband especially loved the Num Tok Beef and the Crab Fried Rice. I've been on the hunt for a great Pad Thai for years, and this is hands down the best I've ever had. My favorite combo is the Shrimp Pad Thai with Papaya Salad. We ordered spice level 5, and they even brought extra chili on the side so we could kick it up a notch, which I definitely did since I love spicy food! And of course, we had to try the Sweet Sticky Rice with Mango, so authentic and the perfect way to end the meal. Great service, amazing food, and an overall wonderful experience. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

BEST PAD THAI I HAVE EVER HAD! This is quite the statement as I have had pad thai from many places. Crab rangoons were delicious. Papaya salad was good. Be mindful of their spice scale. 5 was pretty spicy, but still yummy. I would skip on fried tofu here. It's okay. Definitely cannot wait to come back for more pad Thai or other dishes. read more

Hidden Gem in San Diego. I am Thai and true authentic flavors are very rare in San Diego unless it's your grandma's, mom's and auntie's cooking! Pear's Thai is tucked away behind businesses in Kearny area off the main road Aero Dr. Near Montgomery Airport. Flavors are always on point. Spice is THAI spice. If the employees ask you if you've ever ordered with them before, it's to ensure you are aware of the spice level (lol)! Our usuals are Pad Thai with Tofu, Pad See Eww with chicken, Crab fried rice, or drunken fried rice, drunken noodles, red chicken curry, green curry. Our favorite appetizers are the stuffed chicken wings and crispy shrimp. Thai tea is a must. Everything is delicious and you won't be disappointed. read more

We had Pad see ew with beef Drunken noodles with tofu and beef Fish eggplant specialty Mango sticky rice Craving Thai food, but the noodles didn't have much flavor as we recall from previous orders. The eggplant fish dish deserves 5 stars and the Mango Sticky rice. read more

Great service, delicious food. The vegetables were stir fried perfectly. A quiet place for dinner and no waiting for a table. An unknown gem. read more

This place is right around the corner from work. Everyone is so friendly but the best part, the thai food is fantastic. I've eaten at several thai places and have gone to Thailand, this place is excellent. My favorite is the Thai Basil chicken. It's the perfect amount of spice, if you ask for a level 4. My second favorite is the papaya salad, so flavorful and fresh. You can't go wrong eating here and coming for a bite while theyre read more

Food was so fresh and delicious Got the drunken noodles level 3 I'm big on my THAI food , hands down my favorite spot in the area ! read more

Food was delicious We arrived 45 min before closing, which was 8:00 on a Saturday night, and felt a little rushed. We were the only table in the restaurant so that was a little disappointing. read more

The man serving was stoic and not very nice. Non-responsive and ignored my inquiries. Food was not good and hours later my stomach was bubbling. Thai Pepper Cuisine on Sandrock is 1,000% better. read more

First time here. No wait on a Friday night, got seated right away. The food was quick and fresh. Glad that there is a good Thai restaurant by the house. read more

This little Thai place is a hidden gem! Literally and metaphorically because it can be hard to find. The GPS will tell you the wrong directions. You have to get on the small road Gibbs Dr, which is next to the main street Aero Drive. This place is takeout only. Anyways on to the food! The food is flavorful and spicy if you want it to be. They ask for your spice level, I got a mild pad see ew and a medium spice pad Thai. The medium was something that I can handle, whereas some places medium I can't. If you really like spicy don't be afraid to get hotter than medium. The portion is generous and the food came out freshly made and piping hot. The price is good value as well and is cheaper than most other Thai places around the area. The service is very nice and friendly. It's a small mom and pop restaurant and the owner is welcoming and kind. I ordered take out in the store and waited in my car. When the food was ready he came out and personally delivered it to me. If you're looking for a quick fix for your Thai cravings, this is the place to go. read more

Still fire. Came back and it was to go. Got 3 items red curry tofu, pad Thai beef and chicken pad ram (their peanut sauce is fire). Again think hole in wall taco shop with the best Thai food ever.

Preface this is an absolute hole in the wall so two things. One; Please see full review. Two; Honestly wtf are these low star reviews? Moved to the area recently and this was on my try list being literally 10 minutes away walking. My coworker and I got shrimp pad Thai, sweet and sour mock duck, and a mango sticky rice to go. Forgot my wallet when I went, not a big deal living so close, but asked the owner if they had tap to pay as being a hole in the wall not much online info. Actually found this place driving by not on a search. I was assured they had tap to pay and that the food would be out shortly. Ran next door and came back had a lovely and genuine chat with the owner. Truly nice people. Food wise B! O! M! B! I'm vegetarian my coworker isn't. We're both light eaters and I'll just say we devoured our plates well past being stuffed. Heat levels are spot on. Flavors were better than expectations. I'm not going to sit here and call this place worthy of a multiple Michelin stars but if you're in the area and want to try some quality Thai at honestly a really reasonable price this is it. That said I've been around the block literally and figuratively and this one will definitely be "tested" again and is on up there with the top Thai in/around convoy area of San Diego if not all of San Diego. Looking forward to my next visit read more

Wife n I love Thai food! Actually we love Thailand. We go there occasionally on culinary journeys. The food in Thailand is absolutely divine and the only place we've had in San Diego that rivals true authenticity is Pear's in Serra Mesa. This is a small unassuming mom n pop shop in a small strip mall next to Montgomery Gibbs Airport. You wouldn't think much of it just passing by and may just miss it altogether, but I assure you it's worth seeking out...if you want delicious perfectly crafted Thai cuisine that is. Their menu is not overly extensive and everything on it is 10/10. My wife judges Thai restaurants by their papaya salad. She's Asian and she gets it! She tried their papaya salad day one and was hooked. Just beware, if you're a spice weenie you might want to keep the heat number low, like three or less. I'm pretty sure, by American standards, that their five is a solid eight anywhere else. That's just another authentic aspect of the food. Real Thai food is hella spicy and these folks are doing it right! This write-up is causing cravings. Think I'll head over to Pear's right now! read more

My husband and I both absolutely loved our meals. We're very picky about Thai food and this place was a 10/10. Huge portions. So much flavor. Will definitely be regulars! read more

Hidden Gem. My orders are 100% to-go every time, but regardless, they compete w some of the best in convoy.

Pear's Thai Cuisine is located in Serra Mesa area of San Diego, CA. One of my friends suggested this place as her favorite Thai place, so here I go to meet up with her in early April 2022. ENTRANCE: - Really hard to find - Entrance on Gibbs Drive - You can see the storefront from Aero Drive - but there is nowhere to drive into the parking lot (how sad!) BACKGROUND: - According to Yelp Business Profile, it says it was established in 2018 - Focused on mostly noodles, curries, and fried rice FOOD: - AMAZING!! - I tried the following: (1) Thai Iced Tea (2) Cheesy Crab (3) Chicken Pot Stickers (4) Tom Yum Soup (5) Red Curry (I chose Mock Duck as the "protein") Food was really delicious!! Support Small Businesses!! ENJOY!! read more

Yelp's hours are accurate but the website hours need updating, walked up to find it closed. Too many good Thai places nearby wait around so won't be eating here. read more

I was looking forward to eating here and making this a regular lunch place for me as I started a new job in the same plaza. I was anticipating all morning and was hungry. I ended up walking out due to the staff being rude and unattentive. Looking at his phone and not wanting to provide a decent costumer experience. I am not hard to please. PS. There are a lot businesses who want customers. This place didn't feel like one. The reply to this review is for a different customer. read more

This review is for take-out experience- always quick, food is consistently good. Ambiance- every time I swing by it's usually quiet but I think a lot of people order take-out from here. It's also in a small plaza that you can't directly turn into from Aero dr. We love the green curry, pad see ew, and eggplant basil. read more

The owner is super cool and cares about the taste of his food! The food super good everyone go support

Amazing service and food! The cashew chicken is amazing. Our favorite neighborhood Thai food!

Restaurant is not closed as one reviewer said. It's definitely hidden, though. The restaurant is on the street behind Aero - Gibbs- that is by the airport, but In the same building complex that faces Aero. Food is very, very tasty. I especially like the Massaman Curry with pineapple added . It is so tasty. My wife got the broccoli stir fry which also was flavorful. Owner is very friendly with good service! It's definitely one of my top Thai restaurants. Glad I found it. Prices are reasonable. read more

This hidden gem in Serra Mesa (next to Montgomery Field) is not to be missed! Service is friendly and food is tasty! What to get: The best crab fried rice in town...hands down! So flavorful and full of large pieces of lump crab...it's like winning the crab fried rice lottery! Their beef pad see ew and chicken pad Thai are winners as well! We're also fans of their Tom kha (coconut lemongrass soup)...we like it with chicken and shrimp. Support this family run business...they really do go above and beyond! read more

Went here for lunch with some coworkers and had trouble with the GPS. There is a small alley you need to go down to get here that runs parallel to Aero Drive. There is no entrance directly from Aero Drive. I ordered the Num Tok Beef. While it did have plenty of grilled steak it was served cold. Also didn't see that it was supposed to include spinach. Don't know if that's the way it's normally served but it was very very salty. Had to chow down on the rice! We were the only people in here during lunch. I think my coworkers enjoyed their meals. I did not enjoy mine. read more

Food is okay. The worker was so uninterested in the restaurant and the food, it was comical. I asked him for recs and he said it's just like going to mcdonalds. Get a big mac. He wasn't a jerk though, just uninterested. It was pretty hot inside too. read more

The most forgettable Thai food I've ever had. The food was not good. We were the only ones in the restaurant. Service was not good either.

We used to order from Pear's back in 2015-2017. Remembering how much we liked the pad see ew, we decided to do take out recently. And dare I say the food is even better now under the new management. The portions were generous and hot. I was worried that the curry might be watery but it was nice, thick and delicious. Back in the day the curry could be hit or miss, but seems like the new management has it right. The food was hot and ready to go in the amount of time they told us. It is now a 20 minute drive for us but I'm pretty sure we will be back because it's worth it. read more

This place is a hidden gem next to Montgomery Airport. If you're in the area (it's also worth the drive!) check this place out. The staff is very friendly, the flavors are authentic, and the food is unbelievably delicious. Takeout is a great option to support local businesses right now and they do a great job with takeout. I hope to dine in once that is available again. We called for an order, it was ready very quickly, and it was so hot even after bringing it home. My photos are not of full portions. We took some out and put it in bowls. The amount pictured is maybe 1/3 of what was in the box (if that). Portion sizes are huge and we have leftovers for lunch this week. read more
