Hands down one of the best Thai restaurants ever! I have been eating their crab fried rice for 5 months straight and even bought them to work to share with my colleagues. Everyone absolutely loved it! They finally understood my obsession and stopped calling me weird for eating the same thing every single day. All of their food is amazing! Staffs are wonderful here, a special shout out to Micky! What a gem and ray of sunshine she is! Lynn is also wonderful and thoughtful! Love love love this restaurant!!! read more

I really like this Thai restaurant in North Park. It's a good option for me when I'm going to a show at Observatory, because it's only a few blocks away and an easy walk. The food is really good, and large portions. I usually have enough left for another meal, so I don't mind the slightly expensive prices. I've never had a bad dish here, and I tend to order yellow curry, peanut sauce dishes, and pad thai. All of them are delicious. I sometimes treat myself to a Thai tea as well. Service is fast and friendly, and I usually don't take long to decide. It's fairly fast to get in and out, which is great when I'm on a time schedule for a concert. The restaurant was decorated for Valentine's when I went recently, which was a cute touch. read more

My husband and I used to come here all the time back when management was different. Our main waiter literally watched our life unfold. From dating, to getting engaged, to getting married, to being pregnant with our first child. All the way until he eventually became the owner or manager. He was incredible and would bless us with a meal at every stage of our lives. After we moved away, we came back one day with a gift for him, craving our favorite dish and hoping to see him again, but he wasn't there anymore. That's when we were told he had left or sold the place. We tried to order anyway, only to find out that the Streetside Thai Chicken had been taken off the menu. We were absolutely heartbroken, and so were our family and friends. That dish was everything. We ordered it every single time. We got so many people hooked on it that family, friends, and classmates would come to San Diego just to order trays and multiple plates to take home with them.. sometimes five orders at a time! We haven't returned since it was removed because that dish was such a big part of what made this place special for us. That said, the food was always good when we went and the staff were always so nice. read more

Tried this place based off a post from another foodie @sandiegofoodluver posting boat noodles that I've been wanting to try a new spot for. Located in the heart of North Park so you gotta find parking and it can get a bit difficult. When I walked to the bathroom I saw my friend Phitsamai working in the kitchen which I didn't know. Hello sister! There was only 1 waiter who was doing everything from taking orders and bringing out foods and bills, etc amongst 5+ tables all at once. Since she was the only 1 it did take a bit but understandable. I ordered boat noodles, Lao style papaya salad, and my son got the pad prik kratiem pork belly. We agreed that the papaya salad was a bit salty. I enjoyed my boat noodles. I like how it came with not only different meats and meatballs but tripe which is omitted at other restaurants. My son enjoyed his dish. I will say their prices are really decent and their portions are huge for the amount. Interested in coming back and trying other items. read more

Came in after lunch rush. Service was fast and friendly, the ambiance was relaxed and soothing music filled the space. I ordered a beef salad with cabbage and onions. It was a 2 level spice, and perfectly balanced spice. The beef was tender and the cabbage was fresh. The sauce was spicy and tasty. I added lemon to add another layer and I was fully satisfied. I also had a Thai coffee. It was dark and sweet. Very well balanced and strong. read more

This review is for take-out only. We ordered the Pad Thai with chicken and Yellow Curry with chicken. We both liked our dishes. It has been a while since I found a decent pad thai so that was a welcome surprise. The sauce& flavor were perfect and the chicken was good as well. We would order from here again to try other dishes. read more

We came across this place last minute for a date night. I don't believe they have any private parking, but there are plenty of street parking that you can find maybe one or two blocks away. It is located in the heart of North Park Main Street. The place was cozy and the lady that was working there was very nice and efficient. she was the only one working all the tables. I've got their Thai tea, two drunk noodles. They do have Thai beer so we tried a bottle too. I always think Thai spicy levels are hit or miss. I have asked for level four out of 10, which she said that was a hot level for a lot of people but I needed more spice in my food. Which was fine. She has brought out spices on the side for me. The Thai tea was good. We even took some home. Overall, this place was not memorable, but it's worth a try while you are in town. read more

Stopped by because I got a giftcard. Cutting to the chase, this was very bland and boring overall. Their Spring Rolls had 3 small pieces of shrimp that 1. barely covered half of the spring roll and 2. you couldn't even taste because the ratio of veggies is overwhelming. The peanut sauce was watery and didn't help the rolls. The Steam Dumpling Combo was small and bland. The dough was thicker than it should've been and completely took over the flavor. For my main, I got the Cashew Delight with chicken and it was not delightful. There was barely any chicken and it had no spice at all, but it was drowning in sauce. The veggies were the only good part. This was not filling either. Maybe they were having an off day based on other reviews, but I won't be back to find out. I didn't like a single thing I tried from here. read more

The food is very good. I've had the Mango Chicken Curry twice. This last time we had that plus Calamari, and 2 other apps. The Calamari is some of the best I've ever had!!!! We also had the Tiger ,a beef and salad dish, that was fantastic. We sat on the patio. They are dog friendly. The service is very good read more

The food at Street Side Thai Kitchen was great, we ordered mango curry, mango tango and pad woon with friend pork. The mango dishes were very savory, mango tango being very creamy. The pad woon fried pork was very crispy. The building itself is located in the busy University Ave, making parking hard but still manageable. Service was great, our server was busy but still ensured we were taken care of. Overall 4/5. read more

This place was recommend to us by our Airbnb host so we decided to check it out. The menu was extensive but everything we tried was pretty good. We started with peach Soju and a pina colada. Our appetizers were spring rolls and tom kha soup. The soup was the perfect blend of spices that warmed my belly and made me wish I ordered a larger portion. For entrees we had the street Thai rice, pineapple rice, and a spicy coconut curry salmon. Everything and I mean everything was soooo delicious. The waiter Tah was absolutely amazing. He was super helpful with ordering and even recommended we change our orders so we could enjoy more of the flavors when sharing. He made us feel comfortable and gave us tons of recommendations during our stay in San Diego. If you're in the North Park area I highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner. read more

Used to visit more often when I lived closer but it's still worth the drive now! The restaurant is never very crowded though they do a fair amount of takeout business too. Food is always good, to the spice level requested. I'm a fan of any of the curries and my husband loves the drunken noodles. The place itself is comfortable and they even have some games if you want to hang out for a while. read more

pleasantly surprised. uber bogo deal. pad thai is one of the best ive had in san diego. such a low bar but the noodles have a good bite, not overcooked. beef not cooked well but not terrible. has a more wok deep nutty flavor compared to some ketchup pad thais. read more

This has to be the best Thai food I've had in San Diego so far. Everything we ordered was super flavorful, the portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable. I was a huge fan of the soft shell crab pad thai! I ordered it at spice level 3, and it was a true 3 in my book. The Garlic Edamame was also stellar. They really didn't hold back on flavor. The restaurant is located in North Park, and if you sit outside, it's the perfect spot for some people watching while you eat. The only thing keeping this from being a full five stars was that service was a bit slow. I think there was only one server, and since we were the only table outside, we got forgotten a couple of times. BUT honestly, the food completely made up for it, and I'll still recommend this spot to everyone I know! read more

Food is amazing! Service was great, ambiance feels cozy. Can't wait to come back!!! Came here early evening for Mother's Day and it was delicious! Love how the restaurant is nestled in the heart of North Park, near many other shops and dessert places. Food was delicious and very tasty. I have a peanut allergy so I typically stay away from Thai spots, but this place respected my allergy and my cravings!! Mama and sister loved their food too. Definitely coming back. read more

While wandering the streets of North Park discussing what we should eat for dinner we decided to give Street Side Thai a chance. It was nice that they didn't have long wait times. The restaurant air was filled with fresh ingredients making our mouth water. Looking over the menu was a mixture of Chinese and Thai food. We left all the ordering to the waiter. They have a range of spice levels to meet everyone's needs. The food was great and full of flavor. We were delighted with such bold flavors. The only thing was the music was a little loud so we had moments where conversing over dinner was a little difficult. Overall we had a great meal. read more

Hands down my favorite Thai restaurant! Love the food, the service, environment & indoor or outdoor seating. Tried the Pad Thai today & it was delicious. Mickey has served me twice now when I've come in and she has THE BEST energy. Made some great recommendations too regarding "heat" level to get with my food. My favorite soup is the Tom Kah...I always get extra to have for leftovers! Will continue to come back. read more

Stopped in for a work lunch with my manager and coworkers. We were greeted and sat right away, their menus are adorable, they have illustrated pictures of some of their food items, I thought that was a nice touch. I got a jasmine hot tea which came with a pot to serve myself and it was a good two cups worth. For appetizers we got the fried avocado and Tom Kaha Soup to share, one of my coworkers is pregnant so we had to go with a #2 in spice, the flavor was great but I had to add some of the chili oil provided on the table to make it better. For my entree I got the drunken noodles spice level #8 and wow it was sooo good! I'm big on spicy food and this spice level was great, it's spicy but still enjoyable. The noodles were so fresh and it was overall a great dish. The service was good, very attentive, and answered any questions we had. Will definitely be returning ! read more

Street Side Thai Kitchen food and service are excellent! The service is prompt and pleasant. Our server, Tha, was a fun guy who provided a joyful tone to our visit. The food is always fresh and delicious, here. The summer roll ingredients are balanced in flavor and texture, and served with two different tasty sauces in ample amount. We ordered yellow curry and pumpkin curry. I love the pumpkin curry here. The only issue was that I ordered steamed tofu in my pumpkin curry, but it arrived with fried tofu. I didn't complain because we had limited time. read more

We ordered to go, so didn't get a chance to experience the sit down experience. We ordered Pad See Ew noodle and the grilled steak salad with cabbage, onion and cucumber. Both of them were good. I especially like the noodle, less like the steak salad as it could become too oniony and a bit salty. read more

Street side Thai kitchen is a fabulous Thai restaurant located in the heart of North Park. You definitely don't want to sleep on this place, they have delicious food, super friendly service, and I appreciate that they are open late. We stumbled upon this restaurant after a late night music venue attendance. On a Saturday night past 11pm options were limited on this block. We weren't feeling a bar type restaurant and we were happy when yelp pointed us in this direction showing they were open until midnight. The restaurant itself is very cute and welcoming. Traditional Thai system decor and the atmosphere was causal. Very comfortable as the tables and booths were spread out. We were also really impressed with how large the menu was here as you could easily find something for anyone. The staff here are very friendly and hospitable. They welcomed us and sat us quickly (it was late so the restaurant was empty). The waitress was quick to provide us with menus and get our drinks going. The gentlemen that took our order was also super friendly and helped me with suggestions when I was looking for their most popular pork belly dish. Between the four of us we ordered crispy garlic wings, crispy pork pad see ew, a pork belly dish with rice & a fried egg, and pad Thai. The food here is phenomenal. Truly delicious Thai food with great range in flavors. The dishes were plentiful, great portions. Also despite it being late into the night, they put a lot of love into their dishes. The pork belly dish I had was phenomenal (sorry can't find the name of it). It was a crispy & fatty bits of pork belly in a tasty sauce, with some veggies and fried Thai basil leaves, with some white rice and an over medium fried egg. Heavenly. All of the food was great. I would say staff, food, and ambiance were all a 5/5. I'd highly recommend this spot if your looking for good yet causal Thai food in SD. Definitely adding this spot on the SD rotation list! read more

Have been looking for delicious Thai food in San Diego for a while now...my girlfriend and I have finally found the spot! Street Side Thai Kitchen is amazing!! The spicy pad thai and crab fried rice was cooked to perfection. The big chunks of crab in the fried rice was drool worthy. They do not cheap out on quality. The plates were big. My girlfriend could only finish half her plate so I ate the rest. I usually eat 2.5 plates at restaurants but i was full after just 1.5. The waiter was phenomenal. So attentive and caring.

Wonderful. I had dinner here on 11/2/2025. The food is fantastic. I started with the coconut shrimp. It was really outstanding. Probably the best that I've ever had. Then I had the Mango chicken. It was so good. But I had to ask for more mango sauce because it seemed to have been under dressed. My waitress brought more and this solved the issue. It was also very good and tender. I felt bad for my waitress because she seemed to be the only one waiting on tables. When I first arrived at 4:45 pm it wasn't that busy but by the time I left she had nine tables. So I didn't bother her too much. She was really sweet so I tipped her well. I will be back. Thank you for a great dinner. read more

This is by far some of the BEST Thai food I've had in Dago. Popped in on a cold Saturday night and was happy to get a table for our group. Our waiter was hilarious ! Such a great personality and was very attentive to our group. Food was 10/10! The flavors were amazing. We enjoyed each dish and the ambience was great. At one point the lights were off and it was better in my opinion. Lots of party night lights that were enough to see our food (do that more often). Business was clean and I'm so looking forward to coming back again. read more
