Delicious, friendly staff, several options. Very easy for vegetarian, pescatarian, or meat eaters. Biggest con is the locations parking situation. There's really only 4 spots in the front but street parking isn't bad in this area. Would return. read more

OMG I love this place! It's so yummy, so fresh, and so clean! The service was so friendly! I got crispy fish in the curry that has the peanuts (Massaman) along with the Thai iced tea. Everything was absolutely delicious and I can't wait to come back and try more! Check it out! read more

CoCoCurry - Chicken curry with Massaman was amazing!!!! - Thai Near Me - San Diego, California

Where do I start.. I've only eaten here 3times .. each time I go, I pick a different meal and each time the protein is seriously a winner! I have no idea how they do it, the seasoning, the batter they use, chicken, pork, crab, anything they deep fry.. I think that's the cooks skill . Fried chicken and curry it's been awhile since I last visit, and I rarely Yelp reviews.. it has to be really really good for me to yelp.. New to the menu is soft shell crab protein of choice. I've had "soft shell crab before at the buffets" could not eat the whole thing since the shell was still hard to chew or swallow, This crab, was seriously.. flavored, soft but had a crunch outter layer and soft inside, tempura batter was seriously perfection For the curry that goes along with the protein, I picked panang,. I requested the curry on the side, so visually it's not at its best potential.. trust me the flavor and everything speaks for its self! The Thai coffee!! It's like Vietnamese coffee but without the bitterness and the sweetness is well balanced with coconut cream/milk and not super sweet like condense milk. Must try! Also got the pad see ew with crispy chicken. An egg omelette and of course The mango sticky rice. The rice is pandan flavor, not strong or over powering. It was perfect. Since mango is not in season, expect them to be alittle tart, which I loved since it paired well with the pandan sweet sticky rice The couple as always are welcoming! Very attentive to every one of their customers! Will need to come back to try their ice cream! read more

Great experience here. Walked in and were offered to sample all the curries which definitely helped us make our choice!! While this place is a bit out of the way for us, we would definitely come back for the amazing selection of Thai curries. We tried crispy pork belly with green curry and steak with panang curry. Both plates were a solid amount of food, left full and happy! Inside is pretty fast casual dining experience. You will need to bus your own table. read more

Wow. Honestly one of those hidden gems you're glad you stumbled across. Coco Curry is tucked into a small Asian plaza off El Cajon Blvd, looks kind of intimidating from the outside, but the inside is clean, calming, and super welcoming. Love the music! We were helped by Leta who gave us a full rundown of the menu and even offered samples of the curries to help us decide, which you don't really see anywhere. That alone made the experience feel personal and made our pick a lot easier. Every sauce is so good and the spice is so deep. She also shared her favorite sauce and curry combos, which was nice. They have a whole sauce bar which was a cool, love the green sauce! Food was delicious, service was even better. You can tell they care about getting things right. Only thing to note is parking can be a little tight in the plaza, but there's usually street parking nearby if needed. Definitely coming back with my girlfriend. Glad this place exists! read more

A Thai Food Paradise for Micromanagers... Who Know What They Like Coco Curry is not just a restaurant. It is a place where a person can finally take control of their meal the way the universe clearly intended. You walk in and suddenly you are the conductor of a very fragrant orchestra. You choose the rice or the noodles. You choose the curry. You choose the protein. You choose the sides. You choose the spice level. By the time you are done choosing you feel like you should get a tax deduction for the labor. It is a beautiful thing. A little overwhelming maybe, but in a good way. Like a well stocked deli counter. You want rice. They say of course. Which kind. You want noodles. They say wonderful. How thick. How soft. How much. You pick your curry like you are selecting a grandchild for a photo. Red. Green. Panang. Massaman. All lovely. All ready to make you feel alive again. Protein. They have plenty. Sides. Endless. Spice level. They will let you go mild medium or the kind of hot that makes you question your life choices and your dental work. It is a game of mix and match where the only real limit is how many belt buckle holes you have left before you need to stand up and take a little walk. Every bowl feels like something you created with your own two hands. You do not just eat here. You build. And the service. Let me tell you. These people treat you like you matter. They look at you with gratitude like you personally kept the lights on. They remember you. They guide you. They make you feel like a mensch for simply ordering lunch. Coco Curry is comfort and control and curry all in one. Five stars. If you leave without feeling satisfied and a little proud of yourself you did not do it right. read more

Leta was awesome. You can tell she really enjoys being here and she definitely enhanced our experience. We got to sample all of the curry flavors which I thought was pretty unique and it helped me make a choice. I also liked how Leta was very helpful in recommending protein and noodles. I got the Khao Soi with crispy pork belly and egg noodles. I tried the green curry flavor and thought was pretty good too. I really enjoyed my dish. I thought the dish looked small but it was a decent serving. The fried tofu was okay. I will be coming back here with my wife so she can experience the same wonderful time I did here. read more

What an adorable Thai cafe in addition to the Little Saigon area. They've been open for around 3 weeks now and I've been eager to come! We got to sample their curry sauces before ordering. There are four steps to order: 1. Choose your protein 2. Choose a curry 3. Choose a base 4. Select your side It was a hard decision but the sampling concept helps my indecisive self to make a better decision! I chose the Fried Chicken Thigh with Khao Soi, with a side of Brown Rice and papaya salad. AMAZING combination. I would highly recommend. The fried chicken was cut into bite sized pieces and was fried to perfection. Usually Khao Soi goes great with chicken so I paired those two together. The Khao Soi comes with a garnish of mustard greens (my fave) and some red onion. The side I chose papaya salad and it was refreshing and crunchy! I added some more spicy sauce to the salad to have more flavor. Their Thai coffee is bomb! If you're looking for a mild version of Vietnamese coffee, Thai coffee is the way to go. Their Thai Tea is on the sweeter side as well as the coffee. So glad CoCoCurry has been introduced to the area. The Build Your Own Curry idea is unique and the dishes are prepared thoughtfully. I'm eager to come back and try other combinations and hopefully some dessert! read more

CoCoCurry - Thai Near Me - San Diego, California

CoCoCurry is a new Thai eatery located just east of a popular pho restaurant in the City Heights neighborhood. There were only a handful of parking spaces marked with pylons and signs that were shared between the businesses in the strip mall. The inside of the suite had countertop, high top, and regular table seating for two dozen customers. The lady owner who was staffing the register was warm and pleasant. She asked if I wanted to sample the different curries to which I gladly agreed. The five varieties were stored in metal containers on display at the service counter like at a gelato shop. A menu sheet described the step-by-step ordering process. The first was to choose from one of five protein categories (vegan, poultry, pork, beef, seafood). There were two to three selections within each category. Next was to pick one of the five curries. Thirdly was to select a base of rice or noodles. The last was to add one side out of seven possibilities. My order consisted of Grilled Pork Steak, Yellow Curry, Egg Noodles, and a Boiled Egg. The food was presented in a plastic takeout container even though I was dining in. The pork steak was a shoulder cut of meat divided into smaller pieces. Carrots, potatoes, and onions were blended in with the mild tasting curry. The soft-boiled egg was sliced in half and placed in a separate well within the container. My only nitpick would be the portion size of the noodles as there should have been more for the price that was discounted 10% for the soft opening promotion. Overall, I gave a rating between four and five stars for my dining experience at CoCoCurry with kudos towards the customer service. read more

If you love curry this is the place to visit. They have 5 different curries and they will let you sample each of them before you order. I had the khao soi with chicken and it was delicious.

Wonderful tiny new curry powerhouse in El Cajon blvd. Premade yellow, green, Penang and massaman curries are mated to protein and sides. You can taste curries before ordering just like you taste flavors of ice cream. Every request was met with a smile. Two nitpicky little things: all the curries are made mild, and I want scorching hot! Not a mild curry you add pepper flakes after the fact, but a curry MADE hot where the flavors are infused in the curry itself. The carrots seem to have been hit with a blow-torch rather than spend time under a broiler to get their charred characteristic. While they LOOK charred, they lack the charred taste. read more

Love this small business! Not only do they make greats eats but they are very friendly as well. I thoroughly enjoyed the yellow curry over sliced chicken breast and brown rice with a side of grilled carrots, not to mention the three hot house sauces they offer. The meal cost $15.85 plus tax. There were a lot of good things going on here. First of all, the yellow curry was very well, seasoned, with a mild heat, and delicious. The yellow potatoes and carrots in the curry were tender. The chicken was tender and had that nice grilled flavor, and the brown rice underneath, was properly cooked and had very good texture. The grilled carrots, that I choose from the variety of sides, were very too. Everything was delicious! The hot sauce were great. They are all made in house from grandmother's recipes. The chili paste was fantastic, the green sauce offered a fish sauce base, which was great, and the one with the thinly sliced Thai chili peppers was wonderful. The service was super friendly and welcoming. The place offers a modest amount of inside seating. It gives off a cool clean modern look. This place is a keeper. read more

I found this place via Grubhub. It's located in a small plaza, next to a 7-11. The decor is very cute, unlike many of other Thai places. Lita (i think that's her name) was very welcoming. She told me that it's the 10th day opening for them. She offered me some curry samples. There are five different types of curry - Khao Soi, Yellow, Penang, Green and Massaman. My favorite was Khao Soi. I ordered Chicken with Penang curry and Thai Papaya Salad and Beef with Massaman and Corn Salad. They were very tasty and salad was refreshing. Lita also offered us free Thai tea and Thai coffee. They were also really good. I really liked her customer service and I will definitely go back again. It's good that there's a small parking lot outside so you don't have to spend too much time looking for street parking. It's worth the trip there. Please support this small business. read more

Quick and easy spot for Thai curry and more! All of their curries are made in house and all were delicious. They even offer samples of each to help you decide. The concept is simple, choose a protein and then a curry + base or protein and no curry but upgraded base like fried rice or noodles. We tried the Panang curry with beef over rice, the khao soi with chicken over egg noodles and the yellow curry with grilled pork over rice. Everything was made fresh and tasted great. Also, the service was extremely friendly. They have seating if you want to eat in, or they can pack it to-go for you. Definitely recommend giving it a try! read more

Coco Curry is a unique Thai fast casual concept of DIY curry bowl. You choose your base, protein, and curry. First off, the space is immaculate. They did a great job revamping the space and made it welcoming. The service is friendly. You can taste the curry sauces before putting in your order, which was great. All the curries are very flavorful and vary in spice level. They also recently expanded the menu slightly offering non-curry dishes like Pad Thai and Tom Yum noodles. My only complaint is that I wish they'd give you more curry because it arrives in a rather small cup. If you enjoy Thai food, especially curries, give Coco Curry a try! Just beware, parking is limited. read more

CoCoCurry - Thai Near Me - San Diego, California

This was the first time dining at this small restaurant and it was the previous great Yelp reviews that led me try Coco. This restaurant is tucked in the corner of a small building next to the 7-Eleven, it is easy to miss. Parking is crowded and awkward with only a few available spots for the restaurant and this was around 4:30 pm on a Saturday. When my husband and I walked thru the doors we were met with a welcome smile from the front counter and the aroma of wonderful Thai spices. We told the young man at the front counter that this was our first time dining here and he encouraged us to try all the curries first. All 5 of the curries were different in spice level and taste, but oh so delicious! Our palates were jumping and could hardly wait to try the curry dishes. We chose to eat in and were led to a table in the small dining area. There was a table of 6 already dining when we arrived. We started our meal with 2 appetizers: an order of Crispy Spring Rolls and Cream Cheese Wontons, both served with a sweet and sour dipping sauce. Both were crispy, light and delicious. Off of the entree menu we chose to "Build Your Own Curry": you pick the meat, the curry, the base and any add-ons you might want. I chose the Crispy Duck, with Yellow Curry, atop Rice Noodles and added on Mixed Vegetables. Hubby chose Grilled Chicken, Panang Curry, atop Jasmine Rice and added on Broccoli. Coco Curry offers 3 spice levels to their curry dishes, Mild, Medium and Hot, we both chose medium and it was a perfect level for the both of us - a little "kick" but not overwhelming. Both dishes had a generous portion, exceptional flavor profile, and all ingredients were fresh - a true delight to our palates. If I could have scored our entree's a "6" I definitely would have! If you don't care for curry they have many traditional thai entree options available. Our friendly server was the owner, and our dining experience was great! As we were leaving a musician was setting up, so I am thinking that they may offer music on the weekends? We will definately be back for more. Arrive early so not to have parking issues and get a table. read more

Authentic, delicious, no frills. Parking lot is tiny but there is a lot luckily! The host was kind enough to let me try all the curries before ordering - my faves in order were panang, Khao soi, and yellow curry. It's offered with your choice of rice or noodles and your choice of protein. I got the egg noodles with Khao Soi curry with the fried chicken thigh for only $14!!! Such a steal for the taste, quality, and portions. Khao soi was rich with really good depth of flavor. The egg noodles were the perfect complement as it was cooked nicely al dente. The chicken thigh was also delicious but too much breading; next time I will opt for the grilled meat option. I liked the pickled mustard and red onions to help brighten the dish. I will def be coming back!! read more

Came in at 6 on a Sunday, first time in so they had us try each of the 5 different curries. Panang curry with crispy pork belly over egg noodles was delicious!!

From start to finish our experience was well over a 5 star. We found this place by pure accident and we are beyond glad we did. This was our first time there and the level of service we received was exceptional. They have a unique way of ordering, that we have not seen done at many restaurants. The girl who greeted us gave us samples of all the curry's. The first one (don't remember the name but it starts with a p) and the green ones were our favorite ones. They honestly all tasted amazingly, each one with a different flavor profile. We opted to go with the first curry with a rice base and crispy pork belly. This completely blew our minds, each bite was beyond flavorful. Everything paired perfectly with each other. We ordered the coconut shrimp to try with this curry, which was just as amazing. They have a self serve bar with 3 different "sauces" we added the green spicy one to our shrimp and wontons. I am honestly not someone who likes wontons and I usually don't eat them, but the wontons here were delicious. I'm not sure on the filing, but it was fresh and a bit sweet which paired perfectly with the sauce they bring and the green sauce I mentioned earlier. The drunken noodles did not disappoint, I added crushed chile from the serve self bar to make it spiced ( I ordered them spicy too). I was surprised by the grilled chicken breast, it was cooked to perfection and they give you a good amount of it too. This has been one of the best drunken noodles I've had and I didn't feel sluggish after from all the grease. And my personal favorite the mango sticky rice. A great way to end our meal. The place is a bit on the smaller side, but very cozy and aesthetically pleasing. This is definitely a place you should visit and that we will continue to visit. read more

This place definitely deserves the 4.9 rating. Customizing your curry bowl, & all the options they have (shout out to the amazing crispy duck!) makes this place a gem. What really puts it over the top is the lovely staff. They went above and beyond, like letting us try all the curry options, checking on us regularly and just overall being caring people. Though the interior is quaint, it is inviting and played the Super Bowl! So we enjoyed our time thoroughly. Our party got the khao sai curry w crispy duck and egg noodles. Second bowl was the yellow curry with crispy duck and brown rice. Both were stellar! We honestly had a hard time deciding because all of the curry options were delicious. Just another reason to return and try the other options! read more

CoCoCurry is located in a small plaza that shares parking with a 7/11 and a couple other shops. I arrived on a Tuesday evening and there was only one other vehicle in the parking lot. The customer service is top-tier. We were able to sample the curry lineup and it made picking my order so much easier. The Khao Soi, Panang Curry, and Yellow Curry stole the show. Friend and I shared the following: - Khao Soi with crispy duck, egg noodles, and spicy cucumber. - Panang Curry with crispy pork belly, rice noodles, and papaya salad. Personal noodle opinion: the egg noodles were the MVP: perfectly cooked and great texture. The rice noodles were a little on the firm side for me. The downsides were that the pork belly was on the fattier side; kind of expected, but still. Also, I wouldn't have minded a bit more meat in the entrees. They've got a sauce bar, perfect for anyone who likes to crank up the flavor or add some spice. I'd recommend this spot if you're into Thai curry with bold flavors and crispy meats. read more
