Gotta be honest--most of the food in Temecula is pretty underwhelming. So when I find a good place,…read moreI wanna shout it from the rooftops. Consider me standing, shouting, from roofs on high. This place is delicious. Although I'm sad I didn't know about it before now, I'm damned glad I know about it now. The papaya salad was fantastic, as was the pad Thai. We also had the crispy pork with the sticky rice, and I couldn't be happier. Spice level 3 was still spicy but was manageable. Yup, it's a strip mall. But inside still felt nice. Service was fine, and tons of people got their orders to go. Turns out that even though I was sleeping on this place, tons of others weren't--consider this your alarm clock.

We've been frequenting this place since it opened. Not only it's so conveniently close to our…read moreplace, food is great, as well as the service; price is reasonable and there's ample parking considering it's in between restaurants, bar and a nail salon. Pechanga mart/gas station is just next door. Place is cozy, artful designs with live plants. There's a couple of servers but they're attentive enough to cater to your needs. Our favorites are panang curry (chicken for me) and pad see ew. What I love most are the vegetables, they're crunchy meaning they're not fully cooked so it's nutrient. We come at least 2-3x a month and will definitely keep coming back for a Thai food craving!

Visited Aiyara Thai Cuisine in Temecula…read more Aiyara has an elevated experience for Thai food. The ambiance of the place is nice for a date night or dinner with friends. Aiyara is one of the first 25 restaurants awarded a Guinness World Record event for Pad Thai. They served 1,337 plates in under an hour! YES THEY HAVE GLUTEN FREE PAD THAI that is authentic and flavorful. You'll be craving it by the end of this photo post!

It was our first time here, and we ordered the Tom Yum noodle soup and the shrimp spring rolls to…read moreshare. Oh my goodness, everything was so delicious! The broth in the Tom Yum soup was incredibly flavorful with the perfect balance of savory, tangy, and spicy flavors. If I ordered it again, I would probably choose shrimp instead of chicken because I think the shrimp would complement the broth even better and bring out the flavors more. That said, the chicken was still tasty, and we both really enjoyed it. The shrimp spring rolls were also amazing, but the real star for me was the peanut sauce. It was so good that I had to order an extra side because I kept adding more and more to every bite. The customer service was excellent as well. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. The atmosphere is great whether you're grabbing a casual meal, meeting up with friends, or having a date night. They also offer lunch specials, which looked like a great value, but we were in the mood for soup this time. The portions were generous, and everything was reasonably priced. We're definitely coming back because those sweet garlic chicken wings are calling our names! I can't wait to return and bring the rest of my family to try this place too. Highly recommend!

What a great find!…read more Thai Kitchen is a small Thai restaurant that's tucked in Temecula and a little hard to find, but it is definitely a hidden gem. Was pleasantly surprised by the wonderful service and fantastic food. Everything was very flavorful and delicious. Ended the meal with a mango sticky rice as well as a Taro Ice Cream which paired together fantastically. Definitely looking forward to coming back and we really appreciate the great food and service. Keep it up!

Staff were very friendly and attentive. I had the Panang Curry and Thai Fried Rice. Both on the spicier scale, 3 curry, 4 rice out of 5. The curry flavor was very enjoyable. It could use a little more variation of vegetable but when I make it at home I like lots of veggies. The Thai Fried Rice was good, spicy, and I am not sure if it was on purpose but the great variation of bell peppers (red, orange, yellow, grean) allowed each bite to be distinctive based on what the pepper added. There were not too many but I thought they added to the dish. My only question was the interior design. It is aged, and just pedestrian. Maybe a more up to date vibe isn't needed, but I think it could add to a location that had amazing food. Still 5 stars on the dining and a sleeper for great food.

New to the area and wanted to try out their boat noodles and papaya salad. Read a lot of great…read morethings about those 2 items in the reviews. Located right near the freeway but had plenty of shared parking. When we went in we were greeted right away. Small dining area with a few tables. There was a diner and take out orders. I ordered boat noodles, Lao style papaya salad (som-tum), kawneaw-mooping. The boat noodles were good, but no tripe included. Very thick and potent. Flavors were good. They have spice options and also have a spice rack if you need more spice. The som-tum most likely comes Thai style but I requested Lao style which they accommodated to. I got the spiciest level but it wasn't that spicy to me. The pork skewers that came with sticky rice was well flavored and had that smoky charred grilled taste which was nice.

The restaurant was clean but the food wasn't particularly fresh. The restaurant closed at 8:30 but by 8 the staff started visibly closing up (e.g. turning off the TV, lights, closing blinds, etc.) in what we interpreted as a not-so-subtle attempt to get us to pay our tab and leave. It was uncomfortable. I won't be back---lots of other Thai restaurants with superior food and friendly service in the area.

Last night my wife and I ordered Pad See Ew and Drunken Noodles to go. When we got home I opened my…read moredrunken noodle container and poured in 2 little cups of the chili flakes oil the restaurant gives away at their register area. I mixed the chili flake into the drunken noodles and start to eat. After about 5 bites a hear a large crunch and feel a large amount of pain coming from my lower left rear molar. I instantly spit out the bite I was chewing and go through the my half chewed food to find out what caused the issue. After some poking around I started to find big hard shards of transparent material and small shards of hard white material. The transparent shards I bit into were clearly glass and the white material were chunks of my tooth. My mouth was bleeding and in pain and I could feel my lower rear left molar had a large chunk missing. This place is really fucked up for letting glass into their food. It was clear they broke some glass around the chili flake oil or around one of the ingredients that makes up the drunken noodles and instead of throwing away everything that could have potentially had glass in it, they tried to salvage some of that contaminated food and serve it to their customers. This was my first and last time eating at this place. What really pisses me off more about this whole situation is that my wife and I are currently introducing various solid foods to our 1 year old daughter and we both gave our daughter noodles from our dishes. It really makes my blood boil that this restaurants cheap and lazy owner and employees would let this type of shit slide and make it other people's problem just to save a few dollars from product loss. Now I have to take a day off work to go to the dentist and get my tooth fixed or if the tooth is past repairable I'll have to go through the process of getting it removed and replaced with some artificial tooth. It sucks that all of that will end up coming out of my pocket. I would suggest everyone to stay away from place. This type of shit happening is never worth the risk from a place that disregards their quality control like this. There are plenty of other great Thai and Asian restaurants in the area that I have gone too over and over again without one issue. I hope this review helps others avoid the same bullshit this restaurant is currently putting me through. Also incase any other customers found glass in their food, I purchased my order around 8pm on April 22nd 2026.

We walked up to order & took our food to go. We ordered common Thai dishes- noodles and red curry…read more Noodles were tasty, chicken was tender. I had the red curry, great flavors & right amount of spice. Their scale is out of 5 and I got a 4- so it was spicy. I didn't care for the bamboo shoots in my curry so I might ask about that next time I order. Can't wait to try their other curry. The mango sticky rice wasn't bad, had the right amount of sweet. The mangos were ripe but the rice might have been a little dry for my preference. Definitely going back to try more of their food and ordering over the phone now that I've been inside. The vibe was quiet inside, and it's not a server type of customer service. You go to the front to order then have a seat.

I bought this spring roll for $14 that's the size of a burrito but it was filled with what looks like a head of cabbage, carrot, green onion, and maybe 3 butterflied shrimp. Now, spring rolls aren't meant to be this big. In the photo, you can see both of our dishes with cabbage on it.. that's from the other half and some from this. I was so blown away cause I've never had a spring so bad.. I've had different but this isn't close to what a spring roll is and looks more like they're just ripping people off with this dish.
