Found this little Thai restaurant in an outdoor mall next to a really cute little boba shop and we decide to try it. Got a combination of fried tofu, spring rolls, green curry, fried chicken wings, pad Thai and everything was amazing. The tofu was extremely crispy. The chicken wings were crispy and flavorful. The pad Thai with perfectly thin noodles had a beautiful al dente bite and a really amazing vinegar that you can put over the top. Service was extremely fast. Everything was very fresh and definitely an extremely friendly and accommodating experience. Would highly recommend for great service, an amazing food! read more

We often order: * House fried rice with beef * Red chicken curry * Pad Thai with beef * Spiced noodles with beef Everything is very delicious, the meat is tender and fresh, and the dishes are well seasoned. Occasionally, the noodles can be a bit oily, but overall everything tastes great. The prices are reasonable. Overall, all Thai restaurants seem to have similar prices. The restaurant is beautiful and quiet, perfect if you need a place to meet or catch up with friends. The staff are very attentive, quick, and considerate, especially with our 3-year-old daughter. Parking is spacious and easy to find, whether you're older or younger. read more

Ordered for delivery via GrubHub - tofu summer rolls and spicy eggplant with tofu. Awful. Over-soaked summer roll wrappers that fell apart asI held them and tasted like mush - I've never seen a summer roll done so wrong. DRASTICALLY overcooked spicy eggplant that was also MUSH (come on!), and way too oily. I'm just glad I got it with tofu and not chicken, I can't imagine how dry that chicken would have be. AND more expensive than places with better food (almost $50 for those 2 things, the servings were not big). Never again. So disappointed. read more

This place is fancy and yummy! I was a bit skeptical at first because of how ornate it was but then the food came and tasted delicious. We got the drunken noodle and green curry. Large portions to share with two and is filling. The only concern I have is that once you open the first door that leads to the restroom area, it really stinks! It was like that door kept the stink from entering the dining room but then there's another door to the actual restroom and that didn't smell as bad as that first door. Would recommend getting that fixed! read more

Ordered the Pad Thai for delivery and that might be the best Pad Thai I have ever had. WOW! There was some spice that was SO nice and really made the other flavors pop while working together to provide a concert of deliciousness on my tongue. I'm not a big spice person, but as I get older my senses are dulling. Maybe adding some heat to my food makes me feel something because I start to sweat on my skull like I'm taking a final exam I didn't study for. In a world where we are so closed off from everything it's exciting to feel alive. This Pad Thai awoke something inside me and I hope it does the same for you. read more

It's rare to come across a reasonably-priced Asian restaurant with such a nice ambience. Comfortable lighting and soothing music make this a perfect place for a date night or family dinner. Gotta give a shoutout to my server Song. This man was so attentive and kind! I ordered the Pad Woon Sen (fried mung bean noodles). I love the fact that it wasn't too dry. It's delicious! The Tom Yum soup was good too. I'm not great with spicy food so level 1 was more than enough for me. Can't wait to come back with the whole family to try more dishes! read more

Tonight was our second time returning here. We love shopping in the plaza and going to this restaurant afterwards. The restaurant is super tidy and relaxing to sit in. Not only is the food SO delicious, but it's actually reasonably priced. $64 for my husband, myself and my child to eat. Where I work, bills are no less than $100 for 3 people. Now.. I came here to truly write about our server named SONG. He is incredible. He is so nice, kind, and extremely attentive. He goes out of his way to make sure his customers are happy and even interacts with our son. I'm a waitress too and I get how hard it can be. All of his efforts are appreciated! Can't wait to go back and have more! read more

We love Savory Thai. They are especially helpful if you are gluten free. Our favorite is Pad See Ew with extra noodles. We also love the soups. Customer service is always great and this is our families go to Thai. We also have done take out and the order is accurate and hot! read more

My wife and I dined here last night and loved every bite. We started with the papaya salad, followed by mixed seafood spicy noodles (medium heat for me) and Pad Thai with shrimp and tofu (mild for her). The portions were generous, with plenty left for take-home, which is always a win. The service was exceptional and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. All in all, an excellent dining experience. We highly recommend Savory Thai, tucked into the strip mall off Plaza in Oceanside, CA. read more

The only thing I have to say is, this is absolutely the worst Thai food I've ever had. I'm not sure how it got the high marks on Yelp (which is why we tried it) but it's really awful. We left with our food on the table and I rarely do that. Paid for half but that was a wasted $30. read more

Never write reviews but stumbled upon this place and so happy we did! Got the pad Thai and yellow curry. Pad Thai was the best one I've ever had. Seriously!!! Service was even better. Song has the kindest smile and makes you feel so welcomed. We don't live here but will be coming back when in the area. read more

This place is pretty authentic Thai cuisine and staff. Upon entering you'll be greeted with a warm smile and escorted to an available table. It can be a little dark to read the menu, so you might need the flashlight from your phone. The pad Thai might seem a little different to what you're used to, as the noodles are thin. The sauce can be a little bit on the sweet side though. The curry was also a bit different as well, it wasn't soupy like your traditional curry, it was thick. Interesting, but tasty. What really made dining there pleasant was the staff. They were attentive, polite, welcoming, and appreciative. read more

We ordered 4 different Thai dishes for 3 people. We found the food tasted pretty good. However there were minuscule amounts of meat in our dishes which we ordered with chicken meat in all of them. I thought they forgot to add meat but had to look closely to see tiny pieces of chicken. Not a good value for the money. We left still hungry after spending $80. read more

For a Saturday afternoon, they were really quiet. We were just looking for a place to eat since we were very famished after shopping at kohls. Hubby suggested thai and I agreed. So we found the closest Thai restaurant and drove there. We did have a catch, we had our dog with us. And I wasn't expecting them to allow him in but they did. I had already given up and was researching something else on my phone when my husband came back to the car and said that they were dog friendly. Our server was very polite and promptly brought our drinks. My husband and I both ordered Singha beer and they brought it to us already poured. The restaurant is massive even though the shop front was deceivingly small. There are leather seats with cushions at each booth. Love the old school charm. Also they play soothing instrumental music. My hubby ordered something on their seasonal menu. Tiger sweet beef - it came with a sauce and white jasmine rice. My husband thought the beef was very tender. I ordered pad woon Sen with crispy duck. It is mung been noodles with cabbage and crispy duck. The spice level I ordered was very spicy- birds eye chilli spicy. Finally, the spice level that matches what I expect for being very spicy. When we hear the mortar and pestle coming from the kitchen, I knew we were in a place with traditional Thai cooking. And I couldn't wait! After eating our mains. I had to order dessert. I ordered mango sticky rice. The presentation is so pretty. Mango was super sweet with sticky rice being so fluffy and delicious. Love this! This will be our new go to place for Thai. I spy with my little eye more yummy stuff to try in the future! We will be back!!! read more

DO NOT RECOMMEND!! This place was completely empty with not a single soul inside... now I understand why. I went in with my mom to order food to go. We both live in completely separate homes and did two completely separate orders. We spent over $100 in food combined and we asked for chili sauce on the side, they refused to give us more than ONE tiny container because they said it's only one per order of food and because we came in together we count as one order, even though we had completely separate orders and transactions. They told me if we wanted another one we would have to pay $1 I ordered 3 meals on my order and I'm only given ONE MICROSCOPIC CHILI SAUCE!? Wow. I will not be returning. Terrible management! Also my order was wrong on top of it all. Highly recommend RIM TALAY AND THAI ONE ON, they give you FREE hot sauce with your orders and their food is delicious. read more

I discovered this hidden gem when I had to get tire work done across the street. The guy who served me had outstanding customer service!!! Very cool atmosphere. I ordered vegetarian pineapple fried rice, honestly it might have been the best fried rice I've had in my life. Will be going back to try the noodles and curries- and bringing friends with me. Definitely recommend as this is one of the best tha spots in the area!!! read more

The Tom Yum and Tom Kha are TOP TIER. I've tried several of their dishes and can say their noodles and soups are very nice and flavorful. The staff is always quick and very nice, and the overall vibe of the place is great. Quiet, calming, and welcoming. Nice place for a dinner date if I wasn't terrified of rejection. read more

I ordered Pad See Ew and it was drenched in soy sauce - not the normal sauce for pad see ew. If you want pad see ew go somewhere else!

Third time going and we continue to love the food and the service here! If this were in a better location, they'd have a line out the door! Their Pad Thai is the best I've ever had. read more

Came in the evening and it has a culturally immersive ambiance and quiet environment. Ordered satay chicken for appetizer and to say the chicken is seasoned is an understatement. The skewers have a slight crisp outer skin and retain a juicy center marinated with spices that pair beautifully. We had the chili green bean and pad Thai for dinner, and both dishes were prepared beautifully. Green bean dish had soft and crispy green bean with a nice touch of spice and seasoned chicken. While the pad Thai was more on the wet side than other pad Thais we had, nonetheless the noodles were flavorful and finished great. Love this place on second visit and will come back for as long as they serve. read more

I've mainly been coming here for lunch or to-go entrees. It often seems quiet despite its convenient location and first-rate dishes. The inside is clean and has a nice layout, with an inner area separated from other tables by a low wall. Thinking ahead for my daughters' graduation, I made a reservation a few weeks in advance. I was worried that we would show up late and go past their 8:30 PM closing time, but they told us not to worry. Luckily, we got there before 7pm and had a fantastic meal for 15, confirmed a day or two before. I pre-ordered the spring rolls, chicken satay, and beef salad so that they would be ready when we walked in. All we had to do was sit down and order drinks. We could not have picked a better place. The food came out quickly and as usual, was fresh, tasty, and perfectly cooked. We ordered several dishes (tofu pad thai, eggplant, yellow curry, jungle stir fry, hot basil) and passed them around the table until they were gone, and then ordered more as needed (panang curry). Plenty of rice included. It was enough to feed us all without leftovers. And though we were stuffed and happy we had shared servings of mango with sticky rice, banana roll (fried banana), and coconut ice cream (recommend with the banana roll). Writing about it makes my mouth water! Sol is the one who will likely greet you at the door and serve your meal. He is friendly and responsive and accurate with the bill. in fact, we saw their entire staff over the course of the meal, bringing out dishes, cleaning off the table, and greeting us with a hospitality that does not go unnoticed. We even had time for some speeches and loud toasting. It made for a fun and memorable day. Thank you, Savory Thai! read more

Great service! Clean, the ambiance is quite, food is delicious! I normally do not write reviews but when I do is because it is worth the time. Its a lot of food for one person.

I ordered pad Thai, Tom yum, and mango sticky rice. None of it was edible and wasted $63. The pad Thai used a thinner noodle and had too much ketchup flavor. The Tom Yum lacked flavor and the mango sticky rice had too much sugar. read more

Reviewed them 6 years ago. Just wanted to update to say they are still amazing! Delicious food, nice staff, good ambiance.

My family crew of 5 crashed this place for dinner. Our kids are usually hard to please, well at least all of them together . Savory Thai's food was delicious. It took me directly back to my time while serving in Thailand. The food is authentic and tastes amazing. Be prepared for this spice level. Their 4 or 5 isn't as mild as most Thai places. I would have gave them 5 stars if the ambiance matched the food. The restaurant itself looks dated and definitely could used some sprucing up. Don't let the looks of the place discourage you. The food is worth it. read more

The food is delicious. The ambiance is beautiful which is surprising since it's in a strip mall. I will definitely be a return customer!

What a miserable experience. I placed a telephone order for an appetizer and two different curries, which---see photo---the Savory Thai website identifies as vegetarian (VG). When I picked up my order and made a remark along the lines of "it'll be the order with all vegetarian items," the staff member informed me that the curries were NOT vegetarian, since they contained shrimp/shrimp paste. I pointed out that this was not what the website or the printed menu said, and that at the very least, it would have been nice for the person who took my order to notice that I was ordering everything with vegetarian protein and to ask whether shrimp would be a problem. (I see that the owner likes to argue with people who leave bad reviews, so just in case he shows up to tell me that the "VG" didn't mean that ALL the curries were vegetarian, I'll also note that the staff member told me that NONE of them could be made vegetarian.) All I got was a smile and a "sorry." They charged me full price---and this place is not cheap---for food I couldn't eat, and didn't make even the barest attempt to smooth things over. The experience was infuriating for a vegetarian, but it could have been dangerous or deadly for someone with a shellfish allergy. If there's shrimp in the curries, they need to fix the website ASAP. If there's not, they need to let their staff know. Either way, their customer service sucks (and the spring rolls weren't very good). Boooooo. read more
