I come here quite often when I'm in town. I love their red curry and yellow curries! And of course the mango and sticky rice for dessert. Very casual environment and yummy food!

Beware! Check your receipt, there was an automatic 18% charge. The device didn't have a tip option. I asked for the tip option, absolutely ABSURD! I'm inclined to tip $0 when I feel ripped off.The food is not good, think there's a change in ownership. Didn't recognize any staff.Totally new menu (not good at all). Portions decreased with a substantial increase in prices. Restaurant was empty, I know why. This is my last time here.Best Thai Banh Thai (SD) or Bua Thai (Poway).

The place is close to work and they're quite fast so it's a good spot for lunch. Today I got the chicken basil (spicy level 9) and a fried egg. The flavor was ok, the #9 spice level was definitely not a real 9, I did not suffer at all. The fried stuff and salad and soup were good additions to the meal. The rice was a bit too mushy. I didn't mind eating it but definitely not memorable. Considering it's a quick lunch place, I think it's ok. Low expectations and it meets that.

Overall 2.5/5. Service was quick but food quality and portions are okay.Shrimp balls: 4/5 12$ for 12 pieces great deal and they tasted good. Wish they were crispier. Green curry with chicken: 2.2/5 was very watery and only tastes like coconut couldnt taste the other ingredients. Nice sized portion though. Sweet thai basil with basil: 2.7/5 taste was pretty good, portion was okay.

I hosted a MeetUp dinner for my Fun Diego Ladies group last night. We enjoyed a nice dinner and closed out the restaurant. This place was relatively quiet during a weeknight at dinner, and they had more take-out orders than dine in patrons. We came as a group of 5. Reservations were only available for parties 6+ but the place was rather empty when we arrived at 6pm so we just grabbed a table. The restaurant was small, but it was nicely decorated.I ordered the spicy drunken noodles with tofu, spice level 6. My friends ordered the tom kah soup, yellow curry with chicken, pad thai with chicken, and panang curry with shrimp. We all enjoyed our food and look forward to coming back again. I would say that the spice level was true to its number. My friend agreed that her panang curry, also a 6 level of spicy, was spot on. They offer a variety of of peppers if you need to increase your spice level: chili oil, siracha, and chili flakes.The prices were very reasonable for the large serving size and the food was really good, so we will definitely be back!

Good place for lunch. We had a reservation at 11:45AM and was sat promptly with the majority of people arrived.My favorite go-to food here is curry rice noodle with a spicy level of 5. I have to say they do the spicy level correctly here. The curry noddle is only on the dinner menu but is a huge portion that I ended up bringing home about 1/2 of the plate.

The service here was great. The food came out quick. Got the lunch special spicy drunken noodle with chicken. The soup was ok. Had a little taste. The fried spring roll was fine. Had no meat. The drunken noodles did not taste good to me. The spices did not taste good. The chicken seemed like it was overcooked and chewy. Maybe it's just me or just my dish as I saw other people at the restaurant eating the same thing with no problems.

The lunch special is not that worth it. It's bit expensive for what you get. The drunken noodles were good, but there are cheaper alternatives that are better in mira mesa.
