My fave Thai food. I visited when they first open at Market on the 8th but kind of stop coming when a lot of the restaurants left so I never went back. When I came back it is more lively. The food is so delicious like I remembered it. I got the high blood pressure fried pork with rice, spam musubi, and sticky rice with coconut ice cream. I share this with my daughter and we both love it. The pork is crispy, crunchy, and garlicky. That's a good combo in my book. The sticky rice with coconut ice cream is a perfect ending to a great meal. The coconut ice cream has chunks of coconut meat. That's my favorite!! The service is excellent!! They are the nicest people The place is a party!! Good food, beers, and good vibe!! I recommend going on a Friday because there's a live DJ.

41 E 8th St, National City, CA 91950 Customer Service plus. Friendly, helpful, explained the ingredients in each of our selections to make sure were not allergic to anything (we're not). Did I mention she had a cheerful personality? Ordered food, given a device that buzzed when our food was ready. Our food was so fresh, hot off the grill. She provided extra spice and chilies, sauce to increase the heat. Excellent quality. The Tom Kha soup had a slightly different taste than we are use to, but not a bad variation. Wife got the fried rice with shrimp, I got the Pad Thai with chicken. The 3 items were very filling. The open venue with long tables, couches, etc for seating and large rollup windows provided the indoor/outdoor environment. Very enjoyable meal.

Second time ordering Pad Kra Pow because I loved it the first time but this time? Disappointing. Way less meat, way more rice. Like... mostly rice with barely any chicken Totally killed my appetite. Looks like more, but it's just sauce. 3 stars because I still love their Thai tea w/ coconut cream.

Fried tofu with peanut sauce and tamarind wings (must try!)

This place is amazing! Customer service is unmatched! The owner helped me customize an order for my toddler and suggested wings. Everything was amazing! We will be back soon an often.

Garlic wings and tamarind wings
Reina A.

Located inside the 8th Street Market. We received very kind service and they have great options on the menu. We ordered the garlic wings, tamarind wings and drunken noodles. The tamarind wings had an amazing flavor-you can choose your spice level. The garlic wings were crispy and good. The drunken noodles were ok. I will try other dishes on a future visit. The pomegranate iced tea was really good.

Pad Thai with soft tofu
Rebekah H.

Ping Yang Thai is a little spot at Market on 8th. They have a touchpad where you can order if you'd like, but the staff are very friendly and ready to help. After we ordered, she made sure to verify if there were any food allergies, which was very nice. Our food came out after about ten minutes, which was nice. And we found some space to sit in the large communal area. I got the pad Thai with soft tofu. It was good, and was a really good portion size too! I had some leftover that ended up being my dinner later. My husband ordered the fried rice with crispy chicken, and he really liked it. The rice came in a large to go box too, so he was very happy with the portion! We also both got a Thai tea with coconut milk and crystal boba. I will probably try the other milk substitute they have (can't remember which one it is) next time. But overall, it was really nice! Great spot for lunch.

Teriyaki Gyoza
Samantha G.

I ordered the teriyaki gyoza, papaya salad, and pad see ew. My favorite was the pad see ew. The papaya salad was pretty good I just wished I got it a little spicier but I asked for mild just to be safe. The teriyaki gyoza very flavorful and crispy. Will definitely be coming back again. The food was made to order but it didn't take too long for it to be ready.

Food

The Mango Sticky Rice was good the presentation was good . The tamarindo chicken was horrible hard and burnt. The guy at the register had a horrible unacceptable attitude and got an even worse one when I told him the food was hard and Burt when I told him this him and the girl in the back looked at each other and rolled their eyes I don't recommend the place at all horrible service an food is ok if it's not burnt

Drunken Noodles with fried pork belly , add 1 fried egg. White steamed rice.

I've visited this place couple times and here are the food items I've tried: drunken noodles with pork belly, white rice, gyozas, pad see ew with shirmp, pad thai with shirmp, mango sticky rice and thai tea. Food: Good portions with great flavor! Everything is seasoned well and ingredients taste fresh. I love their fried pork belly and the thai tea a lot! Service: Good Ambiance: great place to hangout and eat with lots of other food vendors and indoor/outside seating. Price: it's a just a little higher than other thai spots visit but definitely worth it. Parking: hard to find parking. I'd definitely recommend this place!

Fresh Spring Rolls with Shrimp...VERY fresh and delicious!

Ambiance is very eclectic...food was amazing! Service was outstanding! Visiting from Florida and so happy to have come to the Market on 8th...SO many great choices under one local!

Always hits the spot! Fast, good, hot, spicy, not dry...just perfect! Staff is friendly and the consistency has always been done right.

I'm a big fan of their chicken wings. They are nice and juicy with the perfect amount of crunch. Not overly done. So good. I've tried both and I still can't figure out which one I like more lol. I wish they had more pieces available to order.

Quick and dirty review, this is a little food vendor inside a National City food hall. The cashier was friendly and all smiles, food was largely portioned and well priced. Food was great, lots of flavor in the panang curry, good thick-ish sauce. The texture of the tofu was firm and chewy (how I like it). I'm open to trying the other vendors in this food hall but I anticipate returning for some thai food down the line.
