My husband, myself, and our baby boy went for lunch today. Boy was the service AWFUL. We spilt water and the owner who was absolutely gracious our last visit told us we messed up his floor... not to mention that the entire restaurant was full at around 1:10 pm and there NO food in the buffet. When something was brought to the buffet it was in such small quantities that we literally were unable to enjoy ANYTHING. Awful experience. Foods good hence 3 stars but DONT GO FOR THE BUFFET! Oh and don't spill anything. _________ prior review below I am an eater I love love love to eat Yelp was basically created for a foodie like me... I've lived in NY, and LA and tried the best of the best. I do not easily hand out stars and rewards to business owners, and I love critiquing each element of the food I taste.. that being said- Thai Garden earns a solid 5 stars! The food is AMAZING. This is the BEST Thai food I have ever, and I mean it, EVER had! Every dish has a different taste, so you know they're not using the same spices or sauces in every entree. Moreover, Cha, is the most friendly server and associate I've ever come across at a Thai restaurant. He knows his menu, VERY well, and converses in the sweetest of ways. It was seriously a pleasure eating here! You have got to give this spot a chance Yelpers! It will NOT disappont read more

Hello North County Restaurant, I'm Nette B from nette.yelp.com and I dined at your restaurant. Yes, a solid 5 Stars for Thai Garden. I wanted to find good thai food in North County and so far this has been the best yet. A hidden gem with a couple other Asian restaurants next door, I decided to eat here and I'm glad we did. We walked in and was quickly seated. Our server was the owner Ca. He was so nice and had such a pleasant personality. The restaurant was clean and we ordered the following: Food: Pad Se Ew with tofu Panang with Chicken Sticky Rice First, I will tell you that not all restaurants offers sticky rice and so far in the San Diego County, this restaurant has the best sticky rice. It was not served wrapped in a plastic like other places and it was also not hard but very moist. The flavors of both of our dishes were on point. Starting with the pad se ew that was cooked to perfection with the right amount of seasoning. The panang was thicker than most places which reminded me of another restaurant down south SD. It went so well with my sticky rice. The prices are reasonably priced and cheaper than most thai restaurants I've been to. Definitely a gem and highly recommended if you're in the area. read more

Ordered take out. The food was satisfactory but missed some flavor. The curry is good with a little spice, but the rice portion was a bit small. Make sure to bring cash unless you want to pay a 4% card charge. Service was quick and the restaurant seemed pretty casual for those who want to sit in. read more

The staff here are still as nice as the first time I had visited here, and for that they get that extra star! I came here today as starvin' Marvin! It is lunch time and I had to make it a quick bite so I just did the buffet lunch. The buffet had a few things that I enjoyed, even went back for seconds on the Panang curry. I wasn't a fan of the fried chicken and I love fried chicken. But, the others eating here seemed to go back for more. The desserts didn't cut it for me this time though. I did enjoy the Thai iced tea. I wouldn't mind coming back, but maybe order from the menu. read more

This is a solid thai restaurant and I'm glad it's near where I live. I like the papaya salad, pad thai, and curries the best. They sometimes have thai chillies or mangoes for sale at the counter. The owner is very friendly, too. read more

Great food, fantastic and friendly owners / chef & server. A really kind and warm experience. Left stuffed and happy. I will definitely go back for more Thai Garden cuisine. read more

Best Thai place around. Love their Pad Thai and fresh Spring rolls. Great service and never disappoints!

Never disappoints. Best Thai in north county. I'll drive out of my way to go here. I like the red curry and Pad Kee Mao. Definitely check them out read more

We've been coming to Thai Garden for many years. I'm saddened to hear that the longtime owner Cha passed away. The new owners are part of his family and continue the tradition of consistently good, fresh food and friendly service. Our usual suspects of Chicken Pad Thai, Beef Pad Thai, Garden Thai Spareribs, Panang Curry and BBQ Pork Fried rice are all so good. read more

I love this place. Without a doubt my new favorite thai place in southern California. We got a little bit of this and that and everything was a cut above the rest. So happy my friend brought me. Stay blessed! read more

OH MY GOD. ORGASMIC. We had a cup of the tom kha soup, some of the best I've ever had. GET THE SPARE RIBS, ITS UNBELIEVABLE. 10/10 They fall off the bone and melt in your mouth. We tried the chicken kra pao 10/10--and the pad Thai was different from any I've had before. I cannot wait to come back and try more dishes. The food was so good I almost wanted to cry! read more

Yummy! Super nice wait staff too. Definitely love the sign on the wall asking patrons to be patient while their orders are being cooked. read more

Updating to give 5 stars! My sister and I ordered here on a Saturday night. They were pretty busy, so plan to wait a while during peak times. But the food was top-notch!!

Wow!!! What a great place! The sign on the wall says it all - they're small, but they're VERY good. This was our first time here; we decided to walk in on a whim. I ordered the Spicy Fried Catfish (super crispy on excellent brown sauce with lime leaves and red peppers), my wife had the Thai BBQ Chicken, which was - no joke - nearly an entire chicken. It could easily have been dinner for both of us with leftovers; beautifully crispy skin with sweet chili sauce and sticky rice. The fact is, we over-ordered, but it was SO worth it. The owner is super kind and made us feel like old friends. We are soooo going back, and we're bringing friends! read more

I'm blessed to have this as one of the closest restaurants to my house. My favorite lately is the Green Curry.

Excellent customer service & shrimp pad Thai. Food is hot & the shrimp were large today.

Great Prices and fresh homemade Thai! Small Family owned ..and they have been around for years! Very unassuming dining room, they also have boba. Prices are fair , we like the Thai garden steakhouse, egg rolls and panang. Their food is like having a home cooked meal from mama! read more

The service and food here is always good; authentic. We have been coming here for years and always, always recommend Thai Garden to family and friends. Due to the economy, and change in economics, we stopped eating out at restaurants. Today, we decided to go out to one of our favorite spots because the owners are always so warm, welcoming, and friendly. We were so sad to hear the owner (husband Cha) passed away. He made this restaurant such a pleasant place to visit. Such a sweet man. I will add that he would be happy to know the taste and quality of his food has remained the same. Same fantastic flavors as always. He, and his wife, worked so hard. I believe a family member took over and continues to deliver amazing food! They also continue to offer good prices. read more

The BEST Thai place in the area. We own the escape room a few doors down and come here all the time for dinner! Food is always top notch and the service is great. Highly recommend their boba and cream cheese wontons read more

Love love love this place! Have been coming here for years! A true mom & pop restaurant that I love. The service is always amazing, just as the food! Everything here I find delicious. My favorite is Ugh everything! Jk! I love the patsiew with chicken, the padti with chicken is also yummy. My usual order is that with the chicken sauté & a large side of rice. My husband and I enjoy it so much! We live across town and never get to come to this side of town, so it was very nice. No photos because we were so hungry but here's the aftermath. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Thai Garden - Thai Near Me - Oceanside, California

Food is good but bit pricy and portions are less. Friendly service and clean environment.

Very good fried rice and generous portions . Staff is very friendly we've been eating here for years.

I never understood why so many people love this place. It's near my house, it's priced comparable to other Thai food in North County, sans Onnys. That's kind of where it ends for me. My friends would choose this place for dinner and grub like it was the cure for cancer, but to me you had a few options that I liked, but most of it was bland and I'm not talking heat because that's really a separate thing. The décor is warm and inviting, except when you eat in the middle of the place and it's empty. They need more background music, the staff is generally friendly, can be awkward in banter when clearly sometimes you just want to enjoy your meal quietly. I much prefer the turquoise booths. The acoustics are such that when it's slow you can hear everyone's conversation. The food takes a long time, even with their warning sign. It's a 2 fold issue. You really have no idea how many to go orders there are, so you'll be waiting and waiting and be 4th in line when you ordered in and they are understaffed. I highly recommend ordering for pick up to avoid all of this, but be warned some dishes are packed to go very well and others could use more attention on packing. Noodle, rice dishes they are good at, but the soups/curries even in the standard containers are always throw in there sloppy, making the seal weak. Pad See Ew is my favorite here, that dark rich soy sauce is great. Medium heat, peppers, broccoli, stand alone. Mad Kee Mao is also goodTheir fried rice is ok, but I'm pretty sure they use palm oil which gives it a weird aftertaste, a little more fish sauce goes a long way. Their brown gravy is bland and overslurried, no richness. Green curry is my favorite as it stays better warmed up the next day than the other curries. Satay is dry and overpriced. I've never eaten here for the AYCE menu. Papaya salad is good, but not good the next day. It's too convenient for me not to come here, but with the wait times I can't see eating in or straying from the things I know they do well to try the rest of the menu knowing what they are good at. read more

A wonderful surprise to find such a great tasty place in Oceanside. Authentic flavors cuisine. We had the Tom Yum soup, rice noodles and curry. read more

One of my favorite places in town. Delicious food with great customer service. The team of people who work here make the whole atmosphere of the place worth waiting when it comes to the food. For this particular trip I tried the Tom Yum Seafood Combo soup (shrimp, mussels, fish), Tom Khan chicken soup, egg rolls and cream cheese wontons. It's obvious that everything that went into making these appetizers and entrees were fresh. They have a condiment glass caddy filled extra seasonings and chili toppings for more flavor. Ask Boba for dessert. It's located I a busy food court center with other tasty cuisines to choose from. Parking is always available. read more

Amazing food at a great price! The food takes some time, but it's great! A smaller place with a bit intimate atmosphere, the menu is a bit hard to understand but it dies have good pictures of the food. The presentation is nice, if your not sure of your spice level keep it under 4. read more

Thai Garden is my favorite Thai spot, and I recommend it to literally everyone who asks me for restaurant recommendations. The food is made with so much love and attention, it is well worth the wait. My go to is the curry, and the fried tofu. I have no idea what they do to that tofu but omg it is amazing, my friends and I have driven forty minutes just for the tofu before !! Definitely check them out if you love good food and welcoming vibes. (Also the Thai tea is excellent!) read more

I love this place. I have never been disappointed. All their food is freshly prepared and so delicious. Whenever I come here I must order a few dishes for now and later.

Thai food has always been one of my favorite foods. I have ordered from Thai garden one other time besides this one for which I'm writing this review, unfortunately my food was accompanied by a pool of cooking oil, super greasy and flavorless and despite being a level 1 for spice it was super spicy to the point it went in the garbage. I will not be going there again and don't recommend it one time bad food deserves a second chance sad to say it was the same results. read more

Ordered take out. Said "No Peanut, No Peanut, No Peanut" when ordering. Picked up order and returned home and of course it was full of peanuts. Took it back and the replacement was AWFUL, no lettuce, it was like they were mad at us for their mistake. This is the 3rd time they put peanuts on after asking not to. Wife is allergic and we can't eat it. wasted time and money. read more

Pros: -Nice people working there -Prices are very fair compared to other places -Drinks are good Cons: -Food takes a while to come out (there's signage confirming this on the wall next to each booth) -Pad Se Ew was overly greasy, with hardly any vegetables. Pretty much an overkill of greasy noodles on a plate. read more
