We were craving Thai and notice this place would accommodate my Vegan friends! Yay we had the best service, our waitress was so helpful and had an amazing memory she never wrote anything down! The ambiance is super cute and smells great not like cleaning products or stale bar. The food was absolutely authentic and delicious I got the pineapple fried rice with shrimp and Penang curry with Chicken. My daughter had the Spicy pork ramen and my friends well... they had a lot of veggies lol but they said it was very good I would definitely come back. Oh they even have fresh Boba drinks read more

Tom yum soup was solid not that spicy at an 8 out of 10. Tomato chunks are a little undercooked for my taste. Thai Chicken was cool. White meat ended up a bit dry but maybe that's just what happens. read more

Really enjoyed our lunch here. Nice selection of vegetarian food and the chef was able to make a non sugar sauce for me. Customer service was wonderful and wait staff super nice. Great ambiance and vibe. read more

We ordered take out for dinner and got: -a small bowl of tom-yum soup with tofu -pineapple fried rice with chicken -pad thai with beef Service was nice and was very fast with the order. The soup was good but definitely more sour than usual. It's fine because I love sour haha! The pineapple fried rice with chicken was fine, nothing out of the ordinary. The pad thai with beef was good but, I was surprise that they didn't pack lime in the box. They also provided the chili on the side too. I would try this place again! read more

Love this place! Came in to the restaurant today. I have ordered from Pure Thai on DoorDash many times before. My favorite is the Pad Woon Sen with shrimp. So light and flavorful. The fried rice is stellar too. Pure Thai is great for vegetarian eaters. Pure platter is also a winner with a variety of fresh and fried appetizers for $19.99.

We love pure Thai. We come once a week as a tradition. I'm convinced their tom kha soup is the best in town. Plus the people who work there are super sweet. We have a somewhat complex special order and they are so sweet about it and always get it right. I also find that I really like their chicken meat. I can be a bit picky about chicken and like theirs a lot. It's well trimmed and never too chewy. I also like that the inside is cozy, although we mostly do take out. Grateful to have this place in our community! (And be sure to finish out with a donut next door from a Christy's!) read more

Came for the roti and left with a mixed impression. The Good - they have multiple types of Thai style roti, and I enjoyed the peanut sauce and veg dice accompaniments. The mango curry was also yummy, featuring plenty of mango chunks, a balanced curry profile and a nice variety of fresh veg. The Bad - the Cashew Veg seemed like it came from a different kitchen. The sauce was way more watery than expected, which could hVe been overcome if the thin sauce had any flavor but unfortunately it did not. Also, the vast majority of veg was cabbage and there were multiple types of veg that did not look very fresh. Conclusion - While I was glad to find decent roti near me (without making the 1.5 hr round-trip trek to Carlsbad), the price point here was not great ($11 for 2 roti - - even worse value at $7 for one "dessert" roti aka regular roti piece with small side of canned condensed milk) and its hard to overlook the big miss with a standard dish like cashew veg. read more

Pure Thai is located in a little gas-station-sized plaza alongside a donut shop and mexican place right off the main road. It's my friend's go to in the Point Loma area for years. We were seated quickly on a Friday night and it was casual but comfortable dining. My friend's pad see ew was good, flavorful and how she always likes it. I got the drunken noodle which had a higher spice level. Not too bad, but when I ate the first tofu piece it was a little cold-just on that piece. And although the heat level was a noticeable mild-medium I felt that the flavor of my noodle was not as noticeable as I would like. Otherwise I had no complaints. The veggies were fresh, service was chill, and pricing acceptable. read more

My new favorite Thai place! I got medium spice number four, but I probably could've handled number five spicy. The service was excellent. The portions were huge, but I did come after lunch. I could only eat half of the soup and like five or six bites of the noodles I've got a good dinner waiting for me tonight. Ambience was chill. I highly recommend. read more

Went here after visiting the library and it was a delight. Lots of tea choices. The thing I was most excited for was the sarong shrimp. They didn't have it listed in the appetizers, but they had a picture of it. This menu item is near and dear to my heart because I would order it when I was a child at my local Thai restaurant. Most Thai spots don't make it because I think it is a pain in the butt to do. Anyway I ordered it and the noodles were thicker than in the picture on the menu, but still delightful. I also ordered the fresh salad rolls with tofu which were filling while fresh. The table ordered Tom Kha soup, and I appreciate that you can tell them on a scale of 1-10 how spicy. My friend ordered the pad see eew and it was fine, but nothing to write home about. PAY WITH CASH for 5% OFF!!!! read more

I have been going to Pure Thai periodically since I moved into my neighborhood a few years ago. Pure Thai isn't the closest to home of all the Thai restaurants around, but it is definitely of of the better choices around. This review doesn't have many pictures, as I have only gotten takeout, and often brought it to a family member's home to share. For some reason, with Thai food, we typically get takeout rather than dine in. Through the years, I have tried several curries, a few noodle dishes, Larb salad, Tom Yum soup, and a few of the appetizers. When I walk in, service is friendly and the restaurant is clean. I am not a fan of the small, awkward parking lot, but typically, street parking is free and easy for a short period of time. I like that you can specify spice levels when ordering online, as I am a fan of spicier Thai food. They have a few interesting dishes that are not as common. The other night I decided to try the Avocado Curry. It was an amazing veggie forward curry (I added protein) with lots of sliced avocado on top. My cousin had requested Drunken Noodles, a typical Thai dish, which they didn't have on the menu. However, they do have several other noodle dishes to choose from. All in all, despite not having dined in, I have always enjoyed my dinners from Pure Thai. read more

Based off the reviews , I ordered "Pad Thai noodles" with chicken, spicy #2. Unfortunately, it was sweet and not the slightest bit spicy. So bummed :( It showed up fast and hot , not dry at all, and looks delicious, BUT... "sweet" for dinner is no good. :( bummer! read more

Great food, easy to order over the phone and pick up at my designated time. We got both dishes at a 0/10, but the ginger special felt closer to a 2-3, so be careful with that dish if you're sensitive to spice. My yellow curry was perfect and more like a 0-1. It's a cute place and was very quiet when I stopped in. Don't forget to grab a donut next door at Christy's for dessert! read more

Dessert Review We came in for dessert. We were looking for Sweet Sticky Rice With Mango - Creamy sweet sticky rice topped with black sesame seeds, served with fresh, sliced mango. This particular restaurant has the sticky rice in a green color. It surprised us at first but we are accustomed to the white rice but I I knew it was made from the pandan leaves. The dessert was good and refreshing with the ripe sliced mangoes. read more

We enjoyed a quiet night out at this tucked away Thai restaurant. Service was fantastic! I think frequently dine-in customers might be overlooked in restaurants like this one that get a lot of takeout orders, but the servers were very friendly and attentive! Service was definitely 5/5! It was my first time trying Khao Soi (the curry noodle soup) and the Thai version of lettuce wraps. The initial flavor bomb of the soup was amazing (though it got a little too rich for me at the end). The lettuce wraps were delicious; it had more mushroom umami than what I am used to with the Chinese version of the dish. My husband got Pad See Ew (his golden standard for rating Thai restaurants) and he thought it was good, maybe a 4/5. read more

Pure Thai - Chicken pineapple fried rice! Looks amazing!! - Thai Near Me - San Diego, California

I'm sorry, but this was quite possibly the worst pad thai I've ever had in my life. The fresh spring rolls were also not good. Mango sticky rice was just okay. Pad thai (1/5) - I was so excited to try this because all the reviews say it's on the sweeter side (my preference for pad thai) and the pictures looked saucy (also my preference). However, despite being super saucy and wet, this had ZERO flavor!!! It tasted like instant pad thai you would get in the ramen aisle at the grocery store. I was not impressed. I ordered shrimp as my protein and it was very chewy and overcooked. The noodles were undercooked. Fresh spring rolls (1/5) - the peanut sauce had a weird after taste to it, and the rice paper was harder almost like the rolls were left in the refrigerator. Sweet mango sticky rice (3/5) - despite sweet in the name, this was not too sweet. read more

Decent veggie fresh spring roll with peanut sauce. Spicy basil fried (veggie & tofu) taste is yummy . Tom kha soup is ok, have had better taste at other thai places. Portion size is kinda less compared to the price per dish. After years a thai places charged additional $$ for extra side of peanut sauce. In two minds if i come back or not. read more

Ordered online. They never filled it. Should have just walked in and ordered. It would have been quicker. Barely got an apology. Been a long time customer, but after service this terrible I think I'll find somewhere new. read more

Ingredients were fresh, order was ready exactly when they said it would be, packaging for to-go was perfect, no spills and piping hot even after a 15min drive back to the hotel. I got a level 6 spice (slightly above medium) and I would call what I got a 3 or 4. I do not see this as a negative on the place though. Heat levels are truly subjective and I get that it's better to be a bit more mild that to overwhelm someone. I'm a big fan of their balance of spice though. It wasn't just a bunch of chili flake or oil tossed on top of it, but rather properly seasoned during cooking. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town. read more

Came across this cute clean little restaurant while in town for business and it didn't disappoint! Ordered form the lunch menu Chicken Basil Combo with Soup. The soup was very flavorful with pieces of mushrooms, peas and carrots and was very much to my liking! The lunch plate itself was beautifully presented with a small side salad, a piece of wonton plus a piece of orange which gave a nice visual effect. The side salad with peanut dressing sauce was nice and fresh. The wonton also tasted nice and it was hot! My spicy chicken basil didn't disappoint either and the dish was big enough for two. My only complaint is that the dish should have more of a kick to it spicewise, imho. 4.5 stars for reasonably priced and tasty food plus great service! I'II be back! Enjoy and Bon Appétit. read more

Oh my gosh. The food here is absolutely delicious. I definitely recommend the green curry. It is so delicious and maybe one of the best Thai curries I've had.
