    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!

    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.

    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.

    Cashew veg - sauce too runny, lacks flavor
    Wendy G.

    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.

    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!)

    Drunken noodle with tofu
    Grace G.

    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.

    Thank you staff for creating a pleasant dinner experience for my partner and I first visit. As a vegan, I enjoyed the food & options to choose from! Great place for vegans & non vegan diets to come together. The interior is clean & well decorated too. The overall price is reasonable for amount of food!

    FRESH SALAD ROLLS WITH TOFU
    Trevor T.

    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!!!!

You aren't able to specify how much spice you want on your dishes and when you're ordering on the QR code and the menu doesn't tell you how spicy dishes are. I can't remember the name of the dumplings we got but honestly they were my favorite dish. My friends really enjoyed the tomato and egg noodles, I just felt that they didn't have much flavor.

The broth was probably my favorite part- clear, savory, and nicely aromatic with plenty of flavor. They were incredibly generous with the leeks, though. Like, "did the leek supplier have a quota to meet today?" generous. The shrimp were also nice and juicy, which is always a plus. The spring rolls and accompanying sauce were just okay for me and didn't really stand out. Service was probably the weakest part of the experience. It was pretty hands off, and unless you specifically flag someone down, don't expect much checking in. Even then, the response can sometimes feel like you're interrupting them from an extremely important meeting with absolutely nothing on the agenda. To be fair, there were only one or two other parties there during peak dinner time, so it wasn't exactly a packed house. That said, the food itself was tasty, filling, and satisfying enough that I'd happily come back when the noodle cravings inevitably strike again. Not quite a 5-star experience, but definitely a solid 4-star bowl.

The flavor itself was really good but there was something about the texture of the crispy noodle that wasn't my jam. The egg rolls, though, were fantastic. They were perfectly crunchy and flavorful.
