Great food great service nice portions…read more We had a house green salad with tofu and peanut sauce dressing, drunken noodles with beef and eggplant sure chicken. Spicy level 5 (out of 10) might have been a tad much for us. We washed it all down with ice water and also Thai coffee and Thai tea. Would come again.

This place is out in Pacific Beach. Service was fine. Small place. You get the Thai vibe inside…read more We took our food to go. Got the chicken satay and garlic chicken wings as appetizers. Entrees we got were the drunken noodles and spicy fried rice. Both with chicken. The chicken satay was good. Not dry. The peanut sauce complements it very well. The wings were not my favorite. The flavor was off. The drunken noodles were very good after you mixed it. The sauce went to the bottom. The fried rice was also good. Overall not bad at all. Next time we will sit there and eat. Want to try a few other items.

Can't even explain how much I love the food hear! Very authentic thai and soo delicious!read more

I think I've had thai food once since I moved out here, and this place is one of the worst I've…read morebeen to. Service is lacking. The lady asked if I was ready to order, and when i said yes, she went to clean off two tables and came back. Besides me, there were two other patrons there. She took my order, confirmed it, and when I said thank you, she didn't reply as she walked away. The pad thai was equally horrible The noodles were clumped together, so I had to cut the clump with my fork. The spring rolls were bland and had way too much bamboo sprouts. The decor is decent, but ambiance does nothing really if the service and food are incredibly substandard. If it was an off day due to it being busy, I'd give this place two or three stars and maybe come back. With it being completely dead the night I went, not another chance.

Easy and quick. Two of us went on a Monday evening, 9/14/26, and the place was busy, but not…read morecrowded. Looks like they do a big take-out business. Fast, friendly, and helpful service. All meals are in take-out containers, but you can get yours on a tray to eat there. Plenty of seating in front, side hall, and a nice covered back patio - which is where we ate. Food was delicious. If you order it "hot", it *will* be hot. Will return.

The food was tasty, the serving size was big, and the price is very reasonable…read more I got the pinapple fried rice, pad Thai, pat se ew, and the Aroyd sampler. I usually don't call for pad Thai because I don't like noodles all stuck together. Somehow the cook was able to make the noodle not stick together (even after reheating them). Each plate came with a huge amount of food. The samplers came out all were hot and crispy, just the way I like them. And the price for the dish was $15 or more (depending on the type of protein you get). The samplers was $21. I hope more people will find this place to support their business.

My bff and I came here by accident because we were craving soup late one night…read more Much to our surprise, Aroyd was still open. Because, who doesn't like Thai food?? Let me tell you, tasty food, good prices, and excellent service? This restaurant hit all the spots! Even better? Their Tom Kha soup was the satisfying taste to our craving. One of the surprising things that was really good? Finding out they sold Khao Soi! A northern dish that can hardly be found in most Thai restaurants. So make sure u give it a try! Can't wait to come back! Such a chill vibe.

This is a gluten free review:…read more If you go to The Pad Thai Stand, you will be having the Pad Thai. That's all they serve. But which one? Northern style? Southern style? How spicy? Do you want egg? Which protein? There is a lot of variety at The Pad Thai Stand. My companion and I had different styles of Pad Thai and they tasted completely different! (My fork might have wandered over to his dish.) Be aware that this really is a stand- you order at the window, there are no tables. So take your to go box to the beach, or just down the block to the matcha spot and order a matcha to go with your Pad Thai and use their tables. Because The Pad Thai Stand makes every dish to order, there's not much chance of gluten cross contamination IMO. There's one sauce very clearly marked that is not GF.

Randomly found this on the maps when looking for cozy food... and its the best pad thai I've ever…read morehad. It's a little food stall/stand right in PB and the noodles are super fresh and chewy and absorb the pad thai sauce like no other thai restaurant I've been to, I don't know how they do it. All of the flavors are so good you cannot go wrong. Went more recently though and it seems like they had a change in workers/management. Noodles were not as good as before (too many, sticky, and kept breakng), but hopefully they return soon.

I have been coming to saffron Thai for 20 years. I was honestly shocked to come to their yelp page…read moreand find negative reviews, some of which are over ridiculous things like "running out of chicken". Saffron Thai consistently delivers delicious and healthy food. They just added Pad Grapow to their menu, which is delicious! They also added several other stirfry bowls I can't wait to try. The service is always excellent. The staff have been working here for many, many years, which is a testament to the ownership. As an employment rights attorney, I know that fast turnover means bad management. I've seen the same workers here for over a decade. They're always kind and professional. Their chicken eggroll is larger than any chicken roll I've ever seen at any restaurant & is filled with the most delicious filling. Their sauces are better than any thai restaurant in San Diego. The sauce with their egg rolls, the the peanut sauce that comes with their salad rolls...incredible! I will continue to come to a restaurant that treats their staff well, whose staff treats customer as well, and who consistently provides delicious food.

First time costumer Placed my order at 12:30-12:35 pm today April 21 2026 on a Tuesday…read more Place: nice vibe inside cool wall painting Food: the curry is very soupy it's not even a curry to me it's like soup.. the rice was overcooked and a bit hard... they gave me a soup serving spoon which is for soups not for curry. The Thai tea was bland and didn't have that sweet/milk/condensed milk flavor. Decoration: Buddha beer bottle which is really disrespectful to the Buddha religion... the religion doesn't promote alcohol/drugs. Service: I asked this employee who I believe doesn't speak English but understood me, he was a Busser but I thought he was just a chef or someone working in the kitchen at first, I asked him for a regular spoon and he points to the cashier and says "my friend" insisting I can go to him.. restaurant wasn't busy and tables were already clean. Right after this I saw him wiping utensils with a towel, he could've brought me a spoon ‍ I've worked at restaurants before and worked as a Busser and part of a Bussers job is bringing utensils, cups, plates to a table or handing one to a customer. Also I asked for to go containers and cashier didn't give me a bag I had to go back in and ask. When I did ask he took a brown bag and was about to bag my food I thought when another customer comes in interrupts and then cashier starts talking with him about sauces in Spanish... in the food industry when you're talking to one customer you make sure you finish up what you're doing with that customer not go back and forth ‍ after the guy leaves he puts my curry soup in a brown bag taped it then hands me a bag.. I'm not trying to be rude but you should've just given me the bags and I could've done it myself if you were only gonna Bag one thing what was the point of that.. I'd rather have quality over quantity, even though they give you a big amount it doesn't mean it's good. I'm surprised this restaurant is rated one of the top restaurants in San Diego because that's not what I got from my experience today. Price: $21 reasonable but for the quality they should charge less or make a better recipe. Would I come back here again ? No and it's a bummer because I live up the street walking distance and I really wanted to like this place

(Tookout 06/29/26 MO @ 6:00pm): Literally "street" translation from Thai, they were on "Soi 30th"!…read more After an afternoon of drinking at nearby Modern Times Flavordome, it was time to get some real nourishment, so I walked across the street to Soi 30th for my first Thai food experience in the neighborhood. Founded by chef/owner Khwanta Osanai who learned how to cook at age seven, she previously owned a Thai eatery in Chula Vista. With a purposefully-crafted menu made up of authentic dishes and street food from her native Northern Thailand, everything is made from scratch and fresh ingredients. Rather than a numbered scale for spiciness as many Thai eateries, each dish is spiced as it would be traditionally. I loved Thai food, so would this place on Soi 30th hit the spot and bring me back for more!? PURCHASE(S) Thai Iced Tea 16floz Cup ($5.95): Sadly, no boba, but this was a refreshing drink (not too sweet) while I waited for my food to be ready. Crispy Tofu ($9.95): Although these always reminded me of that facial sponge women use to apply makeup on their face and around the eyes, these crispy fat spongy triangle pieces were tasty and were made even better with the crushed nuts and spicy sweet dipping sauce. Hot Spicy Basil Extra Spicy + Fish ($14.95 + $4.00): Sauteed with holy basil, Thai chilis, onions, green peppers, garlic, and purportedly served over rice and a fried egg (these items didn't come with it), this was a decent portion size with an insane spice level ( wasn't right for a couple of days, if you knew what I meant!), big tender fish pieces, and the various fresh crispy vegetables. My mouth was on fire, but I took this dish head on! Pad See Ew Extra Spicy + Shrimp ($14.95 + $3.00): Wide rice noodles stir-fried with an egg, dark soy sauce, and Chinese broccoli with my choice shrimp, the portion size was packed, crazy spicy, and a ton of small/medium-sized shrimp, this lasted me for three days! Steamed Rice (INCLUDED): Fluffy and steamy, this helped cool the heat from the main entrees. Mango Sticky Rice ($9.95): One of my favorite desserts (mango - hello!), the mango pieces were fresh and juicy, the rice hot and sweet, but I missed the sweet coconut milk drizzling this dish came with at other Thai restaurants I've been to. SERVICE I was greeted by a friendly young woman behind the order counter who offered me a menu when I asked for a takeout order. After a few minutes, I easily placed my order, hung out while I drank my Thai iced tea drink, and within fifteen minutes, everything was securely packed and ready for the quick walk back to my place. As I waited, I had a casually fun conversation with a gentleman who was associated with the woman on some level - khàawp khun kha! PARKING (Varied: FREE this instance): I simply walked across the street from Modern Times Flavordome, or merely five minutes from my place. Otherwise, there appeared to be some spots along the main drag of Upas St. and all surrounding roads (I didn't notice any lots) - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A clean simple layout with an order counter once you entered with a look into the kitchen, and several tables along the front windows and wall that stretched towards the back of the place. I didn't venture further than the front, so I couldn't say anything else about what I might've missed. I liked the various artwork that hung on the walls., but surprisingly little to no actual Thai merchandise or relics. Plenty of natural lighting entered through the front wall windows and doors while a mix of recessed and various hung electric ceiling lights covered the rest. I believed there was at least one TV behind the order counter while classic rock & roll music played in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I really enjoyed my first Thai food experience in the North Park neighborhood at Soi 30th. Yes, the spices tore me up, but the food was still very tasty, the prices were comparable, the portion sizes were generally very good, the atmosphere was more clean and modern than I would've liked, and the service was straightforward and efficient. I felt the only drawback was the limited menu (I was so used to pages of options at other places). And, I always loved to support local small mom & pop businesses. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $61.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS
