    Love Thai food and the effort that goes into the presentation. We tried several different entrees including Thai fried rice, drunken noodles, yellow curry with beef, pad Thai noodles, and of course the sticky rice with mango for dessert. It's a very small restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating and as the name suggests, at the corner of the strip mall. It's not huge, and they don't accommodate large parties. The service was great and the staff were friendly. The food was also pretty good.

    The Corner Thai Kitchen actually does take up the corner of this shopping/ dining plaza! Its cozy corner was inviting us in for some Thai Eats! There is patio seating, a few tables in the front, and booth seating. Drunken Noodles (4/5): Great chewy texture on the noodles! Decided to get it mild and so without the spice, the overall flavors of the noodles are sweet from the bell peppers and bamboo shoots. There was a decent amount of chicken in the noodles and the portions were well balanced. Pork (4/5): We were recommended this as an alternative to their crying tiger as they were out of it. The entree comes with a bowl of rice. It came with carrots, broccoli, and cabbage for garnish as well as a dipping sauce. I tasted rice powder the sauce, and it was very tangy. I didn't use much of it as I found the flavor of the pork was better on its own. The pork was not dry which was a saving factor we would definitely prefer beef more! It makes for a casual spot for Thai food for the area. I would have to try other options, but overall our picks were decent.

    Corner Thai Kitchen is the kind of place that reminds you why small dining rooms and big flavors will always beat flashy decor and fusion nonsense. It is authentic in all the right ways, not because it tries to impress you, but because it cooks like someone's grandma who has been feeding a village for forty years and still worries you did not eat enough. The cao soi soup is the star. A bowl that feels like a warm handshake. Rich broth, tender chicken, noodles with just the right chew, and that golden curry aroma that hits you before the spoon does. It is comfort with personality, the kind of dish that makes you pause mid bite and nod to yourself like you just solved a small mystery. The pad Thai is another winner. Balanced, bright, not too sweet, not too oily, and full of that wok kissed depth that only comes from someone who respects the craft. It is the version you compare other pad Thais to without even realizing it. And the lunch specials. A blessing. Generous portions, fair prices, and enough variety that you can rotate through the menu without ever feeling like you are settling. It is the kind of lunch setup that makes you feel like the restaurant is on your side. The dining room is narrow, almost like a walkway, but somehow the booths still give you privacy. It feels less like a commercial restaurant and more like you wandered into a Thai family diner where everyone knows the recipes by heart. There is a coziness to it, a lived in charm that makes you relax before the food even arrives. Corner Thai Kitchen is the real deal. Honest cooking, comforting dishes, and a space that feels like it was built for feeding people rather than impressing them. Five stars for heart, flavor, and that grandma energy that never misses.

    I began here way back on 2018. They've remodeled since then. Super friendly staff, great parking and easy on the wallet. Lose a star because the Curry Puffs are cold, not throughly cooked.

    Good food and service. Limited seating inside but they also have sitting outside. Thank you Corner Thai Kitchen for your hospitality and good food, can't wait to come back and try something different on your menu.

    I have a new lunch routine and it's the best hack when I am hungry but want to be healthy: steamed veggie side, steamed jasmine rice side. Buy the peanut sauce and ask for a side of the vinegar with peppers in it. Mix the sauce with the pepper vinegar. Put rice as your base in a bowl with your veggies and some sauce to top. If you want to be bougie pay them a dollar for small side of crushed peanuts topping and sprinkle it on top. This makes at least two lunches. If I want proteins the fried egg is cooked delicious. But normally the rice and veggies is enough and so delicious. the ladies are always busy but so kind and there is a gentleman sometime working who is very kind too. I love their decorations and they put in effort to always keep it clean.

    Got pork pad thai, total came out to be $20, not including tips. Tried level 3 spice. Tasted like any regular pad thai. Not that memorable.

    My first time here. They have their own private parking lot and offer both indoor and outdoor seating. Service was good. I ordered the Kapow Thai Kai Dow with ground white chicken meat -- it came with green beans, onions, basil, a fried egg, and rice. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. I really enjoyed my meal!

    Whole fried  fish , ginger sauce with veggies came w fish, Drunken Noodle,sweet rice with fresh mango.
    Espy M.

    Drunken noodles are still as delicious as the first time I tried them , 9 months ago. Medium spice was a little too spicy for me... black Cheetos spicy level ( hopefully you know what I mean) :)... or very close to serrano chile spicy. Next time I will ask for mild and chili on the side . Service was great- i ordered to go. My only complaint is that now they serve less shrimps :( ... 9 months ago I mentioned shrimp was not enough... this time it was also not enough but, I wont mention how many or else they might serve less :( Will I be back? Maybe... but I will buy my shrimp at the grocery store and cook them myself and I will add to noodles.

    Came here for a work lunch. There's plenty of parking even during the lunch rush. The place is nicely decorated and outdoor seating is available as well. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The food is really good. The textures were just right and the spicy levels are from level 1-10. I like spicy, so 2-3 was pretty good. Would definitely come here. The Tom Yum was so good and their portions are HUGE. They do have a lunch menu, it comes with sides and a small soup. I can eat, but it was too much goodness for one sitting.

    Yellow curry
    Tina C.

    Great experience overall. I ordered the yellow chicken curry, pineapple fried rice with added sausage, wings, and the sampler. The potatoes and carrots were undercooked in the curry. Aside from that the food was delicious and came out in a timely manner. Service was good and friendly. Restaurant was nice and cozy.

    The best seafood boil in all of San Diego in my opinion, and I've tried many places (yes, including…read moreCrab Hut). The main reasons why this is my top spot are: -Seafood Quality - the clams here are BIG and don't fall out of the shell, and the shrimp is always perfectly cooked and not mealy. The crab clusters are big and juicy as well. -Sauce - I always get the Torpedo Sauce (the house mix-of-all-of-them sauce) but instead of just tasting like garlic, lemon, old bay, "the sum is equal to more than the parts". In other words, the flavors meld together and are magical. I have heard some say that the sauce here leans sweet, and it definitely does have sugar, but I find it balanced. Also, it is mostly emulsified and does not have a thick layer of pure oil that runs off the seafood like some places' sauces. -Other Factors: they used to have a free fries deal for posting on social media (gone as of Feb '26 though), but they still have $1 oysters on some days, I like their fruit tea pitchers which are great for large parties, and they also give free Vietnamese chè for dessert! I rank this higher than Crab Hut because a) it's cheaper, Crab Hut is expensive even for seafood boil, and b) I prefer the sauce here. But Crab Hut is also S tier in San Diego so you can't go wrong with either.

    (2/5) Unfortunately,…read morethis was a disappointing experience from start to finish. I placed my order through the ChowNow platform and arrived to pick it up, only to find out that the restaurant staff was completely unaware the order had been received. Because the order was never sent to the kitchen, I had to wait additional time while it was prepared. The bigger issue was the food itself. I ordered Combo 3, which states it includes 1 lb of clams, but there were very few clams in the bag--certainly nowhere near what I expected. In addition, there were no sausages at all and only 1-2 small potatoes included. Mistakes happen, but between the ordering issue and the missing ingredients, the meal did not match what was advertised. I hope the restaurant improves both its order management process and quality control.

Cold bar consists of lots of different salads, snow crab legs, lobster claws, mussels, and many more. They had a good selection of soups from clam cowder, seafood soup, miso soup, egg drop, and hot and sour soup. Desert was one of my favorite with creme brulee, cheesecake, cookies, and ice cream, and more. Thursday buffet is $56.99 because they have lobster night. Downside on that is they come out with limited amount of half lobster and often times lines are long. Limit one per person everytime you get in line. The lobster was not fresh today and texture was very mushy. I will not be coming back for lobster night. Service was nice and friendly. Waitress refilled our drinking and removed empty places consistently. They have spacious seating areas and the atmosphere is very inviting and vibrant. We came on a thursday night with 7 people and did not have to wait longer then 5 minutes. Plenty of seating. They have a huge parking lots with plenty of parking.

    I've been here several times now, a rarity given how I like trying new places and rarely repeat…read more It's a bit inconsistent sometimes but it's pretty good for what you get. Twice I got complimentary soup, twice did not. Maybe end of day is better in terms of what they give out. Sometimes there's condiments. Their outdoor eating area kind of changes too a bit sometimes. I get the OG taco usually and my gf gets the ceviche. Never had complaint although on most recent trip the ceviche seemed smaller portion. The taco was 5.99 each and fish seemed bigger than usual. I kind of suspect that as they close down they give bigger portions of what they have left. They had sold out of octopus and other menu items. Do try get there before 6:30pm cause they do start packing around 6:45 ish. Quality is good, tastes fresh. Tacos were filling for just $12. You're probably not supposed to but I often park in complex across street but street parking is easier. There's a $1 fee for credit so bring cash if that's a concern. Place is a go to for me and there isn't a crazy line like at other restaurants usually. Convenient, decent value, decent service, and good quality

    The Plus, Great Fish tacos, the tortilla chips are better than any taco shop or Mexican restaurant…read more There are 3 -4 hot sauce choices. The down side, They are a little bit pricier than other " Taco Tuesday" specials, but the fish is crispy, which is a plus. The down side is you do have to ask for cheese on your tacos ( for example the Brigantine fish tacos include cheese), caution: the request will cost $2 per Taco Tuesday plate ,which includes 3 tacos for $9.99 with a small side of tortilla chips. Two Taco Tuesday plates of 3 tacos each and an additional side of Tortilla chips plus $2 for cheese on each plate x2 plates =$29, which we were a little taken back by the price, especially since it's a food truck and there is no service or places to sit, so it's sidewalk ambience.. they have sit down Restaurant prices If I am in the area again, I may try Kiko's Place again
