    Great place for fast Thai food in the SV/ Rancho SD / campo area. It's in a small area. Available by dine in, take out or food delivery service apps. I really like how convenient this place is to me and how they have a good variety of things on their menu. My recommendation Any of the Curry's Crab fried rice Pad Thai Thai green tea

    This spot was highly recommended and came to check it out. Cozy ambiance casual restaurant. The service was great we were asked to sit wherever we'd like and given menus right away. Appetizer ordered was chicken satay & chicken spring rolls with veggies. The chicken option without pork was good since we have someone that doesn't eat pork in our group. We ordered massaman curry & yellow curry and pad Thai noodles and a small tom yum seafood soup. Everything was very good with an authentic fresh taste.

    If you like Thai food mild or spicy check out "Little Thai Kitchen" in Spring Valley, I highly recommend this gem for their consistency, service, and flavor. If you haven't made up your mind on what to order or what to eat try their Panang Curry, Pad Thai, and Som Tun (Papaya salad) really fresh. Exspect to spend between $50.00- $60.00 for two people. "Little Thai Kitchen" is open Mon-Sun for lunch, or dinner and for Take-Out.

    Thai green tea
    Vanessa D.

    The food was decent but the Thai green tea will be why I go back. It was similar to their tea but not nearly as sweet. I could've just ordered that and been happy. The location was more of a place people would pick up from rather than eat there but it was clean inside and the staff was attentive to us.

    Spaghetti Pad Khee Mao

    Came here cause it was the closest thai spot with good reviews. It's literally the only eatery in the middle of residential homes& 2 businesses. We were seated pretty quickly. Tell me when you guys find the cat I don't know if they forgot about us for a second or they got a big togo order but we sat there for a little. But not too long. After that, the food came out pretty fast. We tried the chicken "fried spring roll", beef pad see ew, &the signature spaghetti pad kee mow (they only had a seafood protein option). The entrees came hotter than the eggrolls, but they pretty much came out at the same time. The eggrolls were nice&crunchy but had a bit too much cabbage for my liking. The spaghetti did taste like drunken noodles but more on the sweeter side. They were generous with the protein especially with the fish. I forgot we got mango sticky rice too! It was as expected, drenched in the milk, but the mango&rice portion was pretty much spot on. I really ate that all up by myself.

    Chicken Pad Thai - no bean sprouts

    Their food is so good!!! The pad Thai is packed with flavor. Cashier was spot on with service and got my food within 10 minutes. The cook said bye to me and said enjoy my food (aaaawwww!!) the sticky mango rice is so good, the mango was ripe and the rice was warm. The winter shrimp was hot and crispy and the sauce was also flavorful. They have plenty of parking and plenty of chairs available but I usually get my food to go.

    I ordered through Grub Hub so this is just my review based on food and how it was packaged. I ordered only 2 items; spicy chicken Thai fried rice and seafood salad. First off they need a few lessons on how to properly package! My fried rice came in those secure reusable container. My seafood salad that HAS SAUCE came in a plastic biodegradable container that was bigger that also had aluminum foil underneath the food. This is my rant. Why would you put the bigger container on top of the smaller container?! Not only that but why would you put a container that cannot properly close that HAS LIQUID ON TOP of a smaller container so it could spill?! Which it did and the whole bag was a mess. The fried rice was okay and nothing special. It was soggy in some parts. The seafood salad was good. It had a lot of good seafood and I really like the fried fish included. It also included more sauce which I don't understand why they didn't just package the whole sauce up like that. I ordered the spiciest level for both and I like how they added extra dried pepper flakes for me.

    Took two of my young adult kiddos here for lunch. I didn't realize this was the place some of my family members frequent when they are craving Thai food. We started off with Thai tea and I chose the Green Thai tea. It was really good compared to the regular Thai tea. We started off with the Spring Rolls Vegetable -ground chicken, glass noodle, cabbage, taro and carrot served with plum sauce. These were nice, hot and crispy! Som Tum (Papaya salad) Shredded green papaya mixed with Thai chili, carrot, tomato, green bean, garlic, lime juice and peanut It was unique as I've never ordered that before. I actually liked it. Pad Thai with tofu Stir fried thin rice noodle, bean sprout, scallion, egg and ground peanut. My favorite go to on the menu Panang Curry Red & green bell pepper, onion, and lime leaf with coconut milk. Very flavorful and tasty. Mango Sticky Rice The best dessert to enjoy. My experience here was nice. The food is good here and price is reasonable.

    The best Thai food in Spring Valley! I'm picky with Thai food so it was a relief to find a good Thai place near me. Service is also great! We are regulars and they know our usual! Great staff!

    Sister-in-law visiting from Colorado wanted to go back to this place after having dinner with a friend the day before. So we checked it out & took a few family members with us. It's a small place with a good signage from the street so you can't miss it. Upon walking in there's a few tables, not very big. Thankfully, they were able to accommodate our party of 6. The servers were very friendly, a young lady (I didn't get her name) initially took our order then Xavier helped us the rest of the time. He was very personable and funny. We ordered Drunken Noodles, Pad Thai, Panang & Green Curries and had Calamari & Fried Tofu for appetizers. For dessert, we had Sweet Rice w/ Coconut ice cream & Mango sticky rice. Everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed the dishes, even though the spice level could be more accurate. My 1/10 spice level preference tasted more like a 3. But we know that levels depend on the subjective taste of the cook. So next time I'll have none. Otherwise, we all agreed that every dish was full flavored, vegetables were crisp, proteins were cooked well, & noodles had a good bite. Calamari was indeed crispy with a good dipping sauce and the tofu was lightly fried that gave it a good texture. As far as the desserts, the sweet rice was cooked well, mango was sweet & coconut ice cream was delicious. Overall, it's a good place for Thai food. The food is really good as well as the price and portions. However, what's lacking is the efficiency of service. The dishes were served at different times which made it awkward to eat so waiting for everyone's dishes to come while other's food was sitting getting cold. And mind you, this was more than a few minutes of waiting between dishes to come out. And no utensils were given before or with the dishes, we had to ask for them. We asked for napkins and he gave us small plates with a napkin wedged between each one. Then we ordered the desserts to share. Again, awkward as only one dessert came out at a time. Waiting more than a few minutes in between. So 6 people taking a spoonful of one dessert before the ice cream melted was not cool. In summary, this place is better for smaller parties and for take-out.

This time I branched out and tried the Thai sausage fried rice and the fresh spring rolls for a takeout dinner, and I am so glad I did. They were absolutely right when they said my tummy would be happy. The experience started with a phone call to place my order, and the person who took it was immediately warm and friendly. When I came in to pick everything up, the ladies behind the counter were genuinely enthusiastic, not in a performative way, but in the way that people are when they're truly proud of what they're serving. They guaranteed I'd love it, and they delivered on that promise completely. It's rare to walk into a place and feel that kind of energy -- a team that's happy to be there and happy to feed you. That warmth is just as much a reason to come back as the food itself. And I will absolutely be coming back to keep working my way through the menu.

The Pad See Ew was delicious--the noodles had great flavor and were cooked perfectly. The fried chicken was easily one of my favorite things we ordered. It was lightly fried but still had an amazing crunch on the outside, while the inside stayed incredibly juicy and tender. Definitely something I would order again. We also tried the curry, which was really flavorful. We ordered it at a spice level 4, but it honestly tasted more like a level 1 to us. It could have used a little more heat, but the flavor was still really good. The fresh spring rolls were good and tasted fresh. My only small complaint is that they could use a little less lettuce so you can taste the other ingredients more. The peanut sauce that came with them was really good though and made the rolls even better. The service was also great. Our waiter was very nice and checked on us a good amount of times throughout the meal, which I really appreciated. One small detail that really stood out was that as soon as we sat down, they brought out a child's plate and plastic utensils for our young child without us even having to ask. Normally, that's something I have to request at restaurants, so it was a nice bonus and showed that they welcome young children. Overall, we had a really good experience. The food was fresh and flavorful, the service was friendly and attentive, and the little extra effort for our child was appreciated. The fried chicken was definitely the standout for me, and we'll be coming back!

The lobby was filling up quickly with dine-in customers and pickup orders, and he was literally doing everything -- cleaning tables, taking orders, running food. Whew. When we asked what was popular on the menu, the responses were short, like "It depends on what you like." He wasn't rude at all -- just clearly overwhelmed and didn't have time to connect. I get it, but when you're dining in, you do hope for a little more guidance. It took about 25 minutes to receive our appetizers, and we didn't get drinks at the beginning. About 10 minutes into eating our appetizers, our entrées came out. I ordered the Spicy Noodles with beef, and my husband ordered the Pad Thai. His plate looked beautiful and tasted fresh and delicious. Mine, on the other hand, looked like the noodles had been sitting -- a bit dry -- although the veggies were vibrant and colorful, which helped presentation-wise. Unfortunately, I kept tasting a bitterness and realized some of the noodles at the bottom were burnt. I'm not one to complain, but I definitely needed water at that point. My husband had to go to the counter to ask for drinks, and Sam apologized and brought them about five minutes later. When we checked out, Sam still had a smile on his face, which I truly appreciated. He mentioned we came at a very busy time and day. I hope that wasn't meant to excuse the hiccups -- a simple apology would've been perfectly fine. Still, I respect that he kept it together and did his best. The dining area inside is small, but they do have an outdoor table option if requested. I'm not sure if this experience reflects their normal standard, and I hope it doesn't. There's definitely room for improvement with food quality consistency and front-of-house support. Sam was kind, and honestly, I'd probably give them another try simply because he handled the pressure as best as he could. But they really need another staff member up front to help with orders, cleaning, and running food instead of having one person juggle it all. Room to grow for sure.
