Came here on a Saturday for a late lunch. We had made a reservation for 4 and were sat right away,…read moreit was not busy. Parking will be mostly street spots. We were lucky and were able to grab the spot right out front. For drinks we each ordered a cocktail. It did take a bit for them to come out but once they did you can tell time and effort were put into making them. They were beautiful and all tasted great. We ordered 4 dishes to share, the wasabi scallop ceviche, crispy baby crab, braised beef panang, and crab fried rice. The ceviche was definitely one of my favorites. Super flavorful, fresh, with the perfect amount of wasabi. The crispy baby crab was savory and easy to eat, especially since you're eating the whole crab, shell and all. The curry in the braised beef panang was so addicting, I couldn't stop eating it. The crab fried rice was tasty and filling. For dessert we got the mango sticky rice. The mangoes were fresh and sweet. Overall pretty standard but still yummy. Service was friendly, helpful and attentive. All the food came out in the timely manner. The vibe of the restaurant is casual but can be a little dressy for a nice date. Overall I definitely recommend a try here. Beautiful presentation with all the food and drinks while still being delicious.

We got the Taro Fritters, Bangkok street noodles, pork sausage, and the chicken wings. The highlight of the dinner were the chicken wings!! They were so flavorful and crispy, I cannot recommend them enough. The taro fritters were a close second, the tamarind sauce was also a highlight of my dinner experience. Service was quick + amiable, and the inside of Sovereign was clean and inviting. The decor is dark and moody, with live plants throughout the establishment. Parking is metered & limited, but definitely worth the hassle.

Amazing. No notes. Go here if you have taste buds…read more Food: 4.75/5 I've been here a number of times before, and the food is always beautifully presented AND super yum. The star of the show is the Nam Kao Tod. If you like Pad Thai/Papaya Salad and you like Thai food at all, your taste buds are primed and ready for Nam Kao Tod. I swear it. The Pad Thai and Tum Woonsen were a little too tangy this time that I went. This place takes the cake for my favorite SD Thai restaurant. Service: 4/5 My water cup was never empty. The service here is great! Everyone is sweet and accommodating. Special requests are welcomed and honored. Atmosphere: 4.75/5 There is so much natural light here! It is a clean restaurant with a clean bathroom, and the music is not offensively loud. I would recommend this place for your favorite SD Thai restaurant pick. Final rating: 4.5/5 (rounding up to 5 on Yelp)

This spot has been on my list for a while to try & finally decided to go in. Came right when they…read moreopened for lunch and the ladies were welcoming. Place is quite dim, decor is beautiful with real plants, & some local vendor items for sale by the entrance. The menu is front & back so a lot of delicious choices, but I wasn't feeling too hungry so my friend and I just shared dishes. We ordered the sausage fried rice and the chef special basil stir-fry with crispy pork (also comes with a side of white rice). My friend and I loved the crispiness of the pork! And the way that egg was fried is one of my favorite ways of it being cooked. It made me want to order an extra egg. But other than that the sausage fried rice was also delicious. The sausage was very tender, slightly sweet but not like Chinese sausage style. I definitely loved the way it tastes. We had to ask for some spice on the side because I just knew both dishes will tastes better with some kick. I'll come back again just to try some of their curry dishes. I see why a lot of my friends have recommended this spot and why some of them do come back.

Our first visit to Mekong Lao & Thai was fantastic, and we're already planning our next one! A dear…read morefriend recommended this one and we were thanking her before we left our table. When we ordered, our server took the time to explain their spice scale (1-5), letting us know that a 1 is already about a medium spice level. We settled on mostly 2-3, but wow--the Thum Khao Poon (shredded green papaya salad) still packed some serious heat! Even my spice-loving kids were challenged. The server also gave us a heads-up that it's very fish-forward in flavor, which we appreciated and happened to love. The absolute standout of the meal was the Nam Khao Tod. It was hands down the family favorite--crispy coconut rice with pork sausage, crunchy peanuts, fresh herbs, and so many incredible textures and flavors in every bite. We could have ordered a second plate! We also had the Drunken Noodles with chicken, which were slightly oily in the best possible way, making them extra rich and delicious. The Chef's Special Basil Stir Fry with Crispy Pork was another winner. Our server brought over a chili vinegar that elevated the crispy pork to a whole new level--it was so good drizzled over every bite. Great food, thoughtful service, and plenty of dishes we're already looking forward to trying next time. Can't wait to come back!

Update: I realized I hadn't updated my review for this place in almost eight years!…read more I'm happy to say I still really enjoy this restaurant. It's become our go-to spot for Thai takeout over the past few years since it's close to home, and the food has always been consistently delicious. The quality and flavors have stayed the same every time we've ordered, which is something I really appreciate. Some of our regular favorites are the Thai crispy rolls, chicken lettuce wraps, Tom Kha soup, red curry, yellow curry, and my absolute favorite--the braised beef Panang curry. The sauce is rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of creaminess. The beef is always tender, and it's one of those dishes I find myself craving over and over again. If you're looking for reliable, flavorful Thai food, this place continues to deliver. We'll definitely keep coming back.

The BEESST Thai Food!!!!…read more The Pad Thai Noodle was Fresh, Tender, Amazing. Flavors were All there. I have mines w Jumbo Shrimp~ Juicy! And, Egg. The Yellow curry was Also Yummy.

SOOO GOOD. We were looking for late night eats on a Saturday night and wanted something hearty but…read morenot too heavy. Thai food was the one thing the 5 of us agreed on haha, but we were all so glad we found this place and that they still let us dine in even though we came in about 45 minutes before closing. We all agreed it might've been the best meal of the entire weekend. Everything from the ka prao, to the tom yum noodle, beef rib noodle, fried chicken & rice, and tom yum fries were amazing and nothing like the usual thai flavors nor presentation we're used to. The only thing i'd skip here is the pad see ew - not because it's not good, but I just think their other dishes outshine it by far. Service was very friendly and helpful. Ambiance is very street vibes and makes you feel like you're not in CA haha. I'm dying to come back the next time i'm in SD!!

The vibe is very clean and homey like you know you're about to get some good comfort food. The wings??? BOMB, the Basil Beef and fried garlic shrimp??? Absolutely no notes 10/10! What's not pictured is the garlic fried whole fish; it was okay because without the dipping sauce you really can't taste anything... no garlic, no salt BUT THE SAUCE!??? Definitely saved the dish, hands down. It was sweet and tangy but in a savory way which was a new flavor for me but I loved it. Overall, they've gained a forever customer right here. We ate everything family style so we had a chance to try more dishes and now I can't wait to go back and try even MORE.
