Best Thai food in Lemon Grove as far as I know, I haven't eaten any other Thai places in the area, still their yellow curry is fire. Service is really good but please get some new spoons. The plastic spoons are flimsy AF. ALSO wanted to add to anybody who says they smelled alcohol at the front counter is an idiot It's clearly the hand sanitizer next to the register. Use your brain people and don't be so excited about calling somebody out instead of using common sense. read more

This place is delicious! Definitely recommend if you're in the east county area as one of the best/better Thai places around there. I've been there before in person a few years ago and I ordered off DoorDash today and it still holds up really well. I ordered drunken noodles with chicken spice level 7 and the spice level was perfect. You can also add requests through DoorDash if you want anything extra, I got some chili oil on the side which I did receive. There was no extra cost for choosing chicken which was great but I took off a star because they did not add much chicken. I mostly got vegetables with some chicken so if you choose chicken I would request extra if you can. Overall the flavor was great and the vegetables were tasty. Great quality. Would definitely recommend this place. read more

Lemon Grove Thai Food - Drunken Noodles - Thai Near Me - Lemon Grove, California

I ordered using their online system, which is already a huge plus for me! Also, because I spent more than $40, they included a free order of veggie egg rolls. I purchased the fresh spring rolls, papaya salad, panang curry, and drunken fried rice. The in-person service was also extremely friendly! Every item had really great flavor and was an appropriate portion for the prices. The papaya salad was the best surprise and had full sized shrimp (as opposed to the little dried ones I usually expect). My one complaint would be that I ordered the curry and rice at higher spice levels (5 and 7, respectively) and got exactly zero spice. This being the closest Thai food for me in Lemon Grove, I'll be back often and I'm super glad that it is as tasty as it is! read more

I ordered DoorDash and OH MY GOODNESS was I so glad we did got drunken noodles spice level 5, pad sew, and mango sticky rice. It was delicious. It came piping hot and both noodles were rich and delicious. The mango sticky rice was hard still good but texture was off not sure if it was because it wasn't fresh. All in all would for sure order again and recommend! read more

Lemon Grove Thai Food - Pad See Ew (beef) - Thai Near Me - Lemon Grove, California

Great place for Thai in Lemon Grove! We saw this place on Uber eats for our quest for our favorite Thai spot and it's certainly made our list of go-tos. We opted for the Panang curry and the Pad See Ew and both were very good. The panang was packed with veggies and chicken and the perfect flavored sauce. The pad seemed ew was perfectly drenched I without being greasy. Great portions on both with lots of protein and veggies to counterbalance the noodles and rice. We will definitely be adding this place to our roster! Well priced, too. We did pickup and it was super quick. Friendly staff and lots of parking. TL;DR - this place should be added to your list of trusted Thai options! read more

The Food and the service are excellent the place is always clean if love Thai food you gotta come here take from Chef JJ

Been waiting over a hour for a papaya salad and there's no 1 here ordering and there's 3 people in the kitchen not coming back

The food is good here if you like Thai, it's actually quality Thai food. My only suggestion is like the other reviewers go low on spicy level. I actually love spicy food and normally go for a 10. A 7 was too spicy. I can over look this and still give them a 5 star. It's nice to eat good food nearby, thanks LG Thai food. read more

This Thai place hit the spot for my Thai food craving. The wifey and I had a day without the kiddos so we said let's get some Thai yelped this place and reviews seemed good so here we go.

I had the yellow curry chicken with rice and it was delicious! I'll be back. The people there were very nice and friendly.

Fast service. Picked up my dinner and the worker was super friendly. Got a free soda with the Yelp check in :) Drunken noodles-level 6 spice. Slightly spicy but also the noodles had a hint of sweetness to it. Tofu was firm and thick's this dish had tomatoes in in which I've never had-perhaps that's why it was slightly sweeter? Over I liked it but prob would try a different dish next time. My bf liked it more than I did. Beef yum salad-level 7 spice. This was still not that spicy but as you continued to eat it, the spice kicked in more. I felt the beef ratio was low and there was way too much onion. Like my other fish, although spicy it was also super sweet. It was good but I've never had it so sweet and would not get this dish again. Glad to have tried it though Overall, I'd come back to try the other dishes. Portion wise was a good amount. Share with my boyfriend and we still had leftovers to make another meal. read more

Best Thai in San Diego! I discovered this hidden gem when I love to La Mesa a couple years ago. All of their dishes I've had are great and very generous portions. The chicken pad Thai is the BEST!!! read more

tried this place for the first time two weeks ago, then i took family that was visiting san diego here for easter. unfortunately both times the server taking our order at the front counter smelled like alcohol and visibility looked flushed, moved slow. moreover, she couldn't even give a menu recommendation for popular items to my sister in law. when asked, she just shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly and literally said "i don't know".. LOL? like how do you work here and actually get paid ? weird but the food was good, service terrible. might as well be a ghost kitchen, they'd save more money and their reputation in the long run . will not be coming back. a spot with great potential, good food, but ruined by an apathetic, inconsistent front of house service. thank you. read more

I gave it two tries. We ordered takeout and our drunken noodles were so salty it was inedible. Eggplant was alright. I also ordered the curry and it was watery. We won't be going back. read more

My family Always love their food and menu selections, and their Ice Cold Thai Tea! This is our go to!

This place is nearby and a good option for some thai food. The service was good and the food was also solid.

My husband's and my favorite Thai spot in San Diego! To clarify, I'm really just reviewing the food - we always order food to go rather than dine in. Like many little Thai places in this price range, this restaurant's ambiance isn't really anything special. And Lemon Grove doesn't have a lot of charm... so there isn't any curb appeal, scenery, or atmosphere in this shopping center / parking lot anyway. BUT, the food speaks for itself, so I don't see the need to take stars off for ambiance. I always get yellow curry with chicken and some kind of veggie dish. Lately, I've been having the eggplant stirfry with tofu. They are both absolutely delicious - very flavorful, good portion sizes, and well-balanced. The baby Thai eggplant is particularly good. My husband is in love with their red curry. The food is always ready quickly, the prices are reasonable, and the service is friendly and efficient. A couple of tips: the spice level does vary depending on who is cooking and the scale used by the person taking the order. My husband loves spice, but usually a level 2 or 3 (out of 10) is about right - typically, the cook is very generous with spice! I opt for a level 1 or 2. When the employee taking the order asks if we want mild, medium, etc. I opt for mild and my husband gets medium. This last time we ordered, his level 3 spice wasn't quite so hot. So I'd suggest being cautious, but checking with the server to see whether the cook that day is one of the "spicy ones," lol. Lastly, we have a really hard time reaching them by phone later in the night on the weekends, but when we drive down to the restaurant they're always open during their official hours. So, knowing they're reliable, we drive over, order in person, and the food usually only takes about 10 minutes. read more

We have been ordering take out from Lemon Grove Thai for several years and love the food. Our favorite dishes are the Pineapple Rice, the fresh shrimp spring rolls, the Drunken Noodles (both the chicken and the tofu), Mango curry with shrimp, and recently the Shrimp Yum salad! Always fresh ingredients and delicious! Johnny (owner) is always friendly. read more

we like spicy food but to be conservative, we ordered a level 3 (of 10) for heat. I've had yellow curry all over california but literally could not eat this one because a LEVEL THREE was so spicy. Were they f'n with us? Who knows, but that was stupid. read more

We ordered the yellow chicken curry, chicken egg rolls and chicken pad Thai. The portions are a good size, the food is good quality and the taste is amazing! We were greeted by Johnny (I think is the owner?) he was really nice. It wasn't that busy or noisy. The staff is friendly. Overall our go to food Thai food in Lemon Grove. The prices are reasonable as well. I'd give them a try if you havent yet! read more

I'm giving it four stars just because I've only eaten here once and I've only had obviously one type of meal, which was pretty good actually. I'm gonna bring my daughter here and a few friends so we can all try different meals and I will be adjusting my review accordingly. The staff was friendly. They were pretty quick. I didn't see anybody eating there, but I did see a lot of people picking up food to go. I do recommend it just under the food that I tried. read more

In my neighborhood. Food is very tasty with flavor. You can taste the different flavors of the combination of Thai food. The service was excellent. Very clean. Under new ownership as I been here before. I was surprised nothing has changed, as you know, typically it does. read more

Solid Thai option in Lemon Grove. Restaurant itself is pretty unassuming and I've never actually eaten inside of it, but have gotten take out over a dozen times. I love the pad thai, yellow curry, pad see ew and eggplant stir fry! The food itself is solid and a good price point. Nothing fancy, but definitely comforting! read more

Drunken noodles. Food was okay but level 6 spice and it's too spicy. It's more like 9/10. Usually I go to Thai food places and ask for 5 level of spice and it's medium not supposed to be too spicy. I couldn't finish the whole thing :/ Thai tea was rlly good tho ! read more

Great customer service! The lady at the front was extremely friendly and welcoming. She even let me know that one of my crab/cream cheese wonton pieces broke so they put an extra one in the box for me. This place serves unique dishes from other Thai restaurants, such as mango or pineapple curry! I also got iced thai tea + shrimp pad thai (spice level 1 b/c I'm a weenie). My friend got mango curry, although he said it didn't taste like mango much. I believe it did have some mango pieces in the curry. I will definitely come back to try their other dishes! **currently doing take-out only. No dining in yet. read more

I LOVE this place. Probably the best Thai place I've been to. Food portions service . The young man got me on pad kra pao. It haunts my dreams if I don't have it after a while. The spring rolls are sooooo good. Not a fan of rice noodles in my spring rolls, this place doesn't put them in. THE CURRY IS FIRE. Everything I've eaten here has so much flavor and I always have leftovers. Haven't eaten anything that I did not like, everything is delicious. read more

I have gone to this location twice. The first time I rushed my online order and forgot to add a protein to my tom yum. When I arrived I let them know and the man went to the back and added it for me without charge. It was so nice of him. I went again the other night after I ordered over the phone. I had chicken pad Thai, mango curry and egg rolls. Everything was amazing. The people were nice. I will definitely be back. read more

Always come here when I'm in the area. They're pretty good for being Cambodian owned! Support your community& small businesses!

I've been going here for over a year now, and normally the food is well-made and reliable. However, this last trip will probably be my last. Another review posted on 2/15/23 mentioned the same exact issue I just had, so it's definitely not an isolated case. I ordered the Fried Rice with a medium spice level (5/10). I've ordered things at this level several other times, and I've been completely fine. Tonight, I could literally see the chili laced throughout the rice. I couldn't even get through two bites without my lips and stomach turning ablaze. They either changed their recipe or hired different cooks, because this was definitely beyond a medium spice. I tested some habanero hot sauce I had at home to compare, and it was nowhere near the fried rice's spice. I can't recommend this place anymore. It's clear their quality control has gone down, and I've never enjoyed throwing away half-eaten food. But tonight I had to. read more

Good food. Reasonable prices. Friendly service. I highly recommend the Drunken Noodles and/or Pad Thai.

I was told that the crab fried rice here was amazing. I decided to try it out tonight. They ask you how hot you want it from a scale from 1 to 10. I picked a 3 for the crab fried rice. When I got home to eat it.... IT WAS AT A MF 10!!! I called and told them that they made it way too hot, and their response was that it was made how I asked them to make it. Lol I wouldn't go back to this place if it was FREE... read more

The customer service was great! The guy was really nice. I had questions about gluten-free options and the cook came from the back after just hearing me talk and answered all my questions. The food taste a little different than other thai restaurants I've been to, but the difference is actually really really good. The pad Thai and sweet and sour soup was so good! I'll be coming back! read more

Great price, good quality food. I ordered via phone and the lAdy who answered was very kind. If you're in the area, I definitely recommend lemon grove Thai food.

I ordered Pa See Ew with chicken. This should've been an easy enter to make since it's widely popular. But it was gross! There was some kind of unidentifiable meat that was definitely not chicken. Had a mushy yet rubbery texture and tasted weird. I didn't even finish my food because I didn't like it - which never happens. The noodles were fine and there was a decent amount of veggies. The scrambled eggs were a bit greasy for my taste. Disappointed, I usually love Thai. read more

Hot Diggity! This Thai eatery makes some great eats! For dinner, I had the drunken noodles with chicken at a wimpy heat level of 4. I use to be able to handle the heat, but these days I have to back off the hot stuff. The noodles were $9 and some change. Both the flat wide noodles and chicken were great. The offered great flavor from the seasoning and sauce and the had a good chew. The chicken was tender and flavorful as well. The intermix of red & green peppers and white onions were great. I loved that they were not over cooked and still had a great crunch. The drunken noodles came with a little bit of egg mixed in and I added a little bit of chili powder that added good flavor and a touch of heat. Great noodle dish. I had the opportunity to try a couple of ground chicken egg rolls and they were terrific. They were crisp in the outside and the ground chicken, glass noodles, and greens were all clean and their flavors came through nicely. Nice friendly customer service. read more
