The food is the best! I always get the orange chicken and the service was fast and the owner and everyone are kind and care for their patrons and treat them like family. And the ambiance is like a family run restarunt and like you are in Thailand. read more

I went for dinner tonight and we had a really delicious meal. The appetizers we tried were crunchy spring rolls and cream cheese won tons. The won tons were so good we got a second helping. For my dinner, I got the Takhrai BBQ plate with Jasmine rice. The food was delicious. It came with a peanut sauce which gave everything a perfect texture. The only complaint I have is that the dishes were expensive. Maybe it's just the state of things that when you go out even basic dishes are $18-20. The service was great. Everyone was so friendly and attentive to our needs so it's worth going to and supporting hard working people. read more

Takhrai Thai - Thai Near Me - Poway, California

Came here for lunch like I have a few times this month. I tried a few new things for me and everything on the menu is fantastically flavored with veggies, meats and herbs/spices. Drunken noodle is great and packed with flavor. The yellow curry noddles we delicious and any curry lover will adore it. It's not soupy noodles, but the noodles are dusted with curry flavor n pan fried. It's was fantastic! Service is great here. The lunch menu is a great value from lunches. It comes with soup or salad. This place is a quiet little gem! Well done again n again. read more

It's been a few years...many of my coworkers and I would frequent this restaurant several times a month for their lunch specials. And we always left satisfied! Strolled in for dinner with my lady and I'm happy to report that the food is every bit as delicious as it was in my memories. We ordered: - Spicy eggplant with chicken: it was delicious and our favorite of the evening - Basil Pad Ga Prow with beef: it featured crispy green beans and flavored ground beef but disappointingly had hardly any basil and basil flavors so it was our least favorite entree - Pan fried noodles with shrimp: wonderfully balanced flavors; our second favorite entree of the evening - mango sticky rice: fresh mango slices paired with sweet sticky rice; It was prepared well but I'm simply not a fan of this dish because it's strictly similar to Filipino suman drenched in evaporated milk Overall, it was a great return visit. Service was prompt, friendly and attentive. Looking forward to returning soon. Cheers! read more

Second time we've been here in the last 2 months. Once for dine-in and this evening for carry out. Food was ok but the portions were extra small. Unbelievable that the red curry container was so small and hardly had any protein in there. Sadly, time for us to find a new Thai place. read more

The good folks at Takhrai were very accommodating for our large party. They opened up a little early just for us and worked with us on our budget; they really went the extra mile to ensure our big day went perfectly. The food was fresh, cooked to perfection and they made sure we had enough to feed everyone and then some. The service was generous and kind and the restaurant was clean, tidy and set up upon our arrival. Thanks Takhrai, very much appreciated. read more

Takhrai Thai has my favorite drunken noodles in all of San Diego! It's a staple for me, but this time I was really excited to try some new dishes as well. The yellow curry and the sauce that came with the Tiger Cry steak were highlights for me. Both so savory with a nice kick of spice. read more

Had a delicious lunch here on the patio a week ago and it was so worth the stop. They have good vegetarian options so it was great for my friend and I enjoyed the Panang Curry w/Chicken. Will definitely go again! No MSG is another positive! My friend had the Veggie Delight with Pra Ram sauce. The server was very good and did not challenge requested modifications! Love that service approach! Give this place a try and enjoy the patio for sure on a nice day! The water feature out there adds to the ambiance! read more

Came here around 7:30pm on a Sunday night and it was DEAD EMPTY. The staff honestly looked at us like we were crazy when we asked to eat in. It was just 2 of us the entire time. We got some cream cheese wontons and chicken pad Thai. Overall, the food was the highlight. Very flavorful but definitely overpriced. We wanted some peanut sauce and they charged us $1 for the tiniest cup ever! The inside looks like the typical Thai restaurant you would expect and is surely big enough for a lot of people Save yourself the trip and just order takeout, it's awkward inside... read more

Came here for a late lunch. Ordered the boat noodle. Service was okay, nothing good or bad about it. The other 2 in my group Ordered curry tofu and sweat sour chicken. Those were decent, but the boat noodle is way off. Tasted like soy sauce soup. Lacked flavor. The decor is typical of many Thai restaurants. It has outside seating. read more

One of my favorite Thai places around me. The prices are a tad bit high, but the food isn't too bad. The pad-See-ew is usually my favorite noodles, but its a bit over salted in my opinion. I saw other reviews saying it had too much sauce, but honestly I think if it wasn't so salty, it wouldn't be an issue. The Mee Krob is my absolute favorite! My 6 year old loves it too, she was addicted to it & wanted it the next day too. It's the main reason I come here because almost nobody offers Mee Krob & does it as good as them. At least nobody in the area. Tom ka & Tom Yum soup are both great. Chicken satay is good too, it's hard to find a place that makes juicy satay. Ambiance is nice & quiet, beautiful decor, definitely gives you a Thai feel. They have a lot of booths which I like. The place is clean & service is amazing. They're so nice & make sure you're taken care of. It's a great place for families or groups of friends. read more

The portions are so small for the price. We ordered chicken yellow curry, shrimp pad Thai with extra shrimp and coconut shrimp. Asked if the rice that comes with the curry is enough for 2 people. They said it was enough, but it definitely wasn't. It came in a 1 cup container. The pad Thai with extra shrimp added came with 9 shrimp total. Not worth paying extra for. Won't be going back again. read more

WOW so surprised by the popular staples of Thai noodle dishes here! My sister and I decided to get takeout for Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles- I mean we have to try these at every Thai place. We were not disappointed. Both tasted very authentic and nostalgic since we grew up eating Thai food regularly. The Drunken Noodles accentuated the pepper flavor super well and the Pad Thai had the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and smoky- the flavor of the tamarind really stuck out in the best way. Wish we would've gotten the dishes a bit more spicy however (the mild didn't have a kick at all but that was on us overestimating Thai spice from previous experiences against the cashier's suggestion lol). In regards to these two noodle dishes, we really had no complaints. The service was super kind, we ordered on New Year's Day. My only complaint would have to be the sizes and prices associated with it. The serving sizes (particularly for takeout) were pretty small. Wish they could've been a bit more generous- maybe sitting down would give better portions? Otherwise, I'm already missing the Pad Thai... will be back super soon! read more

Improve with your customer service. Got there and a very rude waiter name win win. Need to be replaced to have more customers or you guys will loose customers.my whole family came to dine in and ask if we going for to go or dine in obviously we going to dine in, And she was just standing and not even doing customer service when we got there. Terrible customer service.we sat down and left. been going there for 8 years to be exact. Because the food was always been good.I would hire a different waitress please. I live in rancho Bernardo and drive to go and eat and will see this kind of lady serving, it's just so disappointing. Just so rude and not the first time. When we go order online too to pick it up she would say bad remarks, like oh your late pick up your food, stuff like that, TF? We not going there anymore and won't recommend this restaurant to others read more

Takhrai Thai - Cashew chicken tummy - Thai Near Me - Poway, California

All right y'all, I love trying new places but today I think I just should have stuck with my neighborhood Thai restaurant. All the food look great in the picture but I can't believe that I spent $62 and I feel like my stomach was robbed. The chicken larb was so ground it tasted like wet sawdust. The orange chicken looks shiny on the outside but was very dry on the inside. My son had the chicken saute and although it had a nice golden color on it it was just dry as tasteless as the Sahara desert. Maybe I should use that as an example since I've never tasted the Sahara desert but you get my meaning. The garlic pepper chicken had so much sauce on it I think it was to mask the lack of pepper and garlic . My son said it looked like GMO chicken and it tasted like... steroid chicken. So we stuffed ourselves with rice and I drank my Thai iced tea which was yummy. I think we should have took the sign as no one being there in the middle of lunch hour on a Saturday as a clue! This is $62 I can't get back. The young lady who served us was nice and pleasant. I tipped her five bucks for her service but definitely not for the food. I went to pay so that my son and I could sneak out the back and get into the car so she wouldn't see all the food we left behind after she asked do you want to go bags? read more

What we ordered: 1. Pad Thai 2. Fresh Veggie Spring Rolls 3. Drunken Noodles What we thought: Pad Thai was the best we've had in Poway, given we had to pickup, no dining option. Spicy level was very conservative. Not enough sauciness for our liking but we imagine the dine-in experience is different! What we rated it: 3.5/5 read more
