Very good traditional Thai restaurant. Offers weekday lunch specials. Food was very tasty, tried the satay chicken in the Penang curry with pineapple and cashews added. Everything was very good. Large portions, had leftovers that were just as tasty! Planning to return soon.

While this restaurant just recently opened here (it was formerly an Indian shop), I was impressed by every aspect of our experience. They must have quickly addressed issues raised by a few other reviewers as I found none of the issues mentioned. In fact, I found it to be one of the best overall restaurant experiences we've had in the San Diego area. The fact that the restaurant is family-owned and not a chain makes it even more special that we support these local businesses. First, the food was nothing short of fantastic, delicious and cooked with less oil than we expected, which we appreciate. The worst thing that often spoils Asian food (Thai cuisine, but also Chinese) is everything being drowned in excessive oil, but it was not the case here. We ordered a number of dishes over two different visits, including Ginger Fish, Thai Fried Rice, Pad See Ew, Eggplant Basil, Pad Thai and Fried Tofu appetizers, and they all had a great balance of seasoning, still tasting great, but healthier than other shops. The Ginger fish had a generous portion of fish, but also ginger which we liked. The Basil eggplant and the fried rice also included a good supply of veggies and meat and other items on top of the rice, our kids can be picky, but they devoured this and it was a hit for everyone. The other aspect of the menu which we appreciated was that you could pretty much add anything to any dish. That is, if you're pescatarian, you can order fish with the basil or with the pad thai or the basil dish. Or if you're vegan, there's a vegan duck, tofu or veggie option. It's rare to have so many options available, useful if you have a mix of vegetarian, vegan and/or meat eaters in your group. The service was great, we came during lunch so perhaps we got more attentive service because it was less crowded, but our server greeted us with a smile, came over to check on us, and chatted with us that just added to the pleasant expereince. Also, because we came during lunch, there is a lunch special, which is a little confusing, but it is basically the same entrees as you would order for dinner, but the lunch special will include two egg rolls, a generous portion of soup (almost a bowl, more than a cup), and a Thai Iced tea. That's on top of the huge portions they serve for each entree. That was good value as everyone in our group got to have a soup, drink and appetizer without spending any extra. The shop itself was comfortable, there was some cultural decorations, but nothing stood out, nice enough to feel like a Thai restaurant, only issue may be with larger groups as many of the seating are booths that can seat 4, but there only seemed to be one table in the center for any group over 4. Overall, this is a place we are happy returning to and recommending to others. If you find any issues, I would make sure you mention it to the owner (who was there when we visited), as he was very open to feedback and I believe he is going to keep improving and make this a great place for the San Diego community to enjoy.

Honestly best Thai in San Diego. Incredible flavor. Feels homemade but also can't make this at home 10/10 will be back every chance we get.

Craving soup late night and I happen to see this place but I believe it's their second location (Aroyd Thai Kitchen 2) It's my first time coming here. Im looking forward to trying their tom kah soup. The person is nice and offered us to sit even though we are ordering the food to go. The place is decent and they have a lot of pictures of the food that they sell. Glad that they are open until 12.

The food was amazing (Pad See Ew, Thai Fried Rice, Fried Shrimp) and the portions were so generous and HUGE. The Pad See Ew was seasoned to perfection and they do not skimp out on the proteins included in each dish. Totally worth the value for what you get. Also, the service is so warm and hospitalae. The owner greeted us with a warm smile and the overall atmosphere was so welcoming. Will definitely come back again the next time I'm in San Diego!

Good is good and excellent. The desserts are really good. But you want the best dish. Get your hands on the Crab Rangoon.

You can taste the love the owners (husband and wife) put into their food. Todd and his wife are so hospitable, warm, and genuine. Even if the food would've been average (far from it--I lived in Thailand for a year and felt transported back), I'd still frequent this place based solely on their service. They were kind enough to bring me a Thai iced tea on them "because you can't have curry without it." Something I especially loved were the fresh flowers on every table--each one was unique, and it's just one example of how much thought and care they've put into creating such an inviting space. Their former location was takeout only, but now they have their cozy dining room, patio seating, and a large, private space for special events. I also really appreciate that they're open until midnight, because so many places close earlier than their posted hours when it's slow, and at 11:40 on a super foggy Tuesday night, I was the only one there. The portions are extremely generous--one order of curry turned into three meals. They've created such a special spot. I'm really grateful they moved from their former location into our neighborhood.
