    I believe this was the drunken noodles, I can't remember.

    First time trying this Plumeria location, and already they are different than the one in San Diego, the one in San Diego is Vegetarian whereas the one in Encinitas is fully vegan, some things on the menu are different than the San Diego location. All in the service was great, and fast. They are very good, I will be back. The location is in a good spot in Encinitas, and they have ample street parking where you don't have to pay, from what I remember. I highly recommend.

    Mango sticky rice

    Plumeria on 101 was amazing! I recently tried the Plumeria in University Heights, so I was excited to try the one here in Encinitas. Needless to say, this one was just as great. 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!

    I really liked the restaurant and the food here. Service was nice and we (party of 7) all got our food quickly. Food was delicious and everyone really liked what they ordered. Portion size is great and is ideal for family style dining. We got the appetizer sampler (not pictured) and all of it was pretty good - especially the Satay Chicken). Pad See Ew with the vegetarian duck and the tom yum was delicious. Drinks were also really good - Got the Thai Tea with Coconut Milk and Boba. Especially liked the fried bananas and coconut ice cream, that was super good. Overall rating: Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Menu: 10/10 Restaurant Vibes: 10/10 Price to Overall Dining (POD): 10/10

    I really enjoyed this restaurant! The food was delicious and cooked well. The waiter was extremely accommodating and was able to have the cook my mums food without oil and very little salt. The ambience was lovely with light zen music. I love the heart shaped rice too. I would happily return!

    I have always wanted to try Plumeria as it is thai food AND added bonus is seeing their recipes as vegan! Sometimes certain restaurants add more "fishy" flavors and Im a bit more sensitive/picky with flavors but this restaurant kept the traditional flavors/taste and I definitely prefer Plumeria's flavors better :3 I got papaya salad to share with a friend and we both got the spicy noodles. The papaya salad is amazing - well coated with the lime juice and spices. We ate the whole thing. The spicy noodles was really good! It reminded me of pad see ew and I do love wide rice noodles. We sat outside at their patio so it can be noisy due to the traffic of cars but it was a nice sunny day. The server was super nice and attentive. I cant wait to come back and try more items!

    Panang and rice.

    It was the perfect overcast Encinitas day, perfect for a warm bowl of soupie like goodness. Overcast, but warm made outdoor seating perfect. Friendly staff service was great. I had the panang curry with a side of white rice and spring rolls. Peanut sauce was a hit and went perfectly with the spring rolls. My panang curry was absolutely delicious. They didn't ask for my heat level, but it was done perfectly. Im not a vegetarian but I loved it.

    Never thought to come to the Encinitas location, delicious vegan Thai food. Tom Kah hit the spot, tangy and flavorful. We sat outside and people watched, great lunch at a good location.

    Pumpkin Curry

    we had a great experience dining here for dinner! parking is a bit difficult as it is in a busy area, but there is a parking lot with free 1 hour parking two blocks down. they open at 4:30 for dinner, and that's around when we came, it got pretty busy later on so i would recommend coming early! we started with the fresh spring rolls, which were delicious! they were crunchy and paired well with the peanut sauce. i always order spicy noodles, so i had to try them out here. we got a medium (spice level 3) and it had a nice kick to it, so i would be careful if you're someone who doesn't eat spicy food. the fried tofu was done well, and the noodles and veggies were about what i would expect. the highlight of the meal was the pumpkin red curry! i am not usually a big pumpkin fan, but it was a nice variation to your typical thai curries and was so flavorful! the tangerine chicken was also delicious, it had a nice balance between sweet and citrusy, and so crispy!! service slowed down a bit as it started to get busy, but they were very friendly. i will definitely be back!

    Great food, cool balcony -- but absolutely terrible service. Plumeria has amazing food and a really chill, beautiful balcony setup, it's such a shame the service completely ruins the experience. The staff are not friendly or attentive, and everything comes out painfully late. You can tell they're trying to cut corners by running the whole place with about two and a half servers, which just doesn't work when it's busy. If they fixed their service and hired enough staff, this place could easily be a 5-star spot. But as it stands, the vibe and food don't make up for how frustrating it is to actually dine here.

    Pad See lw with mock duck
    Andrew G.

    We got fresh spring rolls which were ok. The spicy noodles with mock duck and the pad see iw with mock duck were both delicious. Plumerias mock duck is the best. To be honest I like the location on park more for some reason. Maybe it's just nostalgia since that's our normal location. Parking is rough at either location.

    One of my top favorite vegan thai restaurants in San Diego! The staff is amazing and extremely kind. Some of my favorite dishes are their spicy basil fried rice (a must get!!) , panang curry, yellow curry, spicy noodles, and their tom kah soup. Also, their vegetarian/vegan proteins are some of the best I've tried!

    Plumeria. Pretty name and nice restaurant off South Coast Highway and D street in Encinitas. Definitely busy on a Sunday given the open Moonlight Marketplace that takes place simultaneously. Had to do a couple of circles to find parking but the positive is that it's a beautiful area to walk around even if you park far. Was seated outside during an overcast/humid day. There is shade and enough space for me to fit my stroller in addition to a table for 2. Was seated and greeted immediately. Various food options esp for vegetarians. Friend got the spring rolls and I opted for the Thai tea (with almond milk) and fried tofu pad Thai. Came out quickly and beautifully presented. Was extremely flavorful and they did not shirk on quantity. All the dishes that came out of neighboring tables looked pretty and made my eyes turn into heart emojis. Thai tea was tasty as well. Was told it was freshly made each morning. Will definitely come back and try neighboring restaurants as well.

    I'm confused, is this place not entirely vegan anymore? It says pescatarian friendly.

    We’re always entirely vegan and still be vegan set up.

    Are any menu items fully organic, vegan and gluten free?

    Not sure about organic, but lots of gluten-free and vegan options!

I was expecting to see a Taco Tuesday special, but I didn't notice any particular deals. I ordered the Cousteau Fish Taco Plate, which came with two grilled Mahi Mahi tacos on homemade corn tortillas, topped with cabbage slaw, salsa cruda, fresh mango, and cilantro. I added the Caesar salad as a side for an additional $2. I also ordered the homemade guacamole with organic house tortilla chips fried in avocado oil. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. I especially enjoyed the variety of chilled salsas they bring to the table, which made it easy to add different flavors to the tacos. I also appreciate their focus on organic ingredients and being seed-oil-free, without sacrificing flavor. The atmosphere is casual and open-air, with both indoor and outdoor seating right along Coast Highway. The service was friendly and relaxed, which fit the overall vibe of the restaurant. I wouldn't describe Haggo's as traditional or authentic Mexican food. It's more of a fresh, healthy, modern spin on tacos, burritos, salads, and bowls. For me, that's part of the appeal. The menu has plenty of options that look fresh, healthy, and flavorful. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying some of the other dishes!

Also had the gambas (shrimp) and my feeling is this dish tastes the same no matter where you get it. It's spicy oil but there's no flavor (garlic, salt), just spicy oil lightly flavored by the shrimp but nothing special, imho, that you couldn't make at home or get anywhere else.

It was so loud that my partner and I could barely hear each other across the table, which really took away from the experience. It also didn't quite live up to the beautiful, inviting atmosphere portrayed on social media. Food & Drinks: We started with the Patatas Bravas appetizer and tuna tartar with potato-lime chips. The potatoes were delicious -- nothing groundbreaking, but very good. The tuna was pretty forgettable. We had an Aperol spritz and a beer, and neither was particularly memorable. For our mains, we had the steak frites and the fish special with chimichurri and charred lemon. The steak was okay and the fries were excellent, but both dishes were lacking flavor overall. The fish especially needed more seasoning. Dessert was crème brûlée, which was fine but nothing special. Service & Overall: Service was good, but considering we had made a reservation specifically for a birthday, I was surprised there wasn't even a small acknowledgment -- a candle, scoop of ice cream, or simple "Happy Birthday" would have been a nice touch. There was nothing. For all the hype surrounding Valentina, I left feeling pretty meh. The food was okay, the atmosphere was difficult to enjoy, and the overall experience didn't feel worth the price or hype. I wouldn't go back.

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.
