    Moo ping (4)
    Tanya M.

    After a long day of traveling by plane I was starved and hubby picked this place on a whim. I am so glad he did. When we walked in we were greeted and seated immediately and given water and menus. Our server was so kind and nice too. We ordered Chicken pad Thai , Thai fried rice with shrimp, Garlic wings and Moo ping. Service was quick and server was very sweet to us and kept our waters filled and checked in on us just enough. Portions and prices were perfect and above all everything was delicious. Like I said I am so glad we found this place by accident. The restaurant itself is small and cozy and seating was good. Did not feel cramped at all and it was very cool inside considering it was a hot day.

    Medium spicy Pad See-Ew
    Alyssa N.

    New Favorite from North County - MTK I always order for togo from Muay Thai Kitchen because it's close to work and each time just leaves me a little more impressed than before. The food's so consistently good and order is completed fast so you're in and out of there just like that, awesome service if you ask me. The restaurant is tidy with nice deco and a general clean, homey, and professional but comfortable atmosphere. Menu has a nice variety so fit for all sorts of palates. Ordered the Spicy Crispy Basil Wings which was so insanely crispy and flavorful, blew my mind. Pad See Ew is a classic; got it with pork and it's cooked to that perfect consistency and same with the vegetables too. And last but not least is one my most favorite soup in the world, the tom yum - with chicken. It's hot, it's spicy, it's tangy, it's literally happiness in a pot. I've literally ordered this soup every time I got Muay Thai and it's always SO GOOD. (Y'all know I love consistency when it comes to quality foods and flavors) Highly recommended try if you haven't. Overall rating: Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Menu: 10/10 Restaurant Vibes: 10/10 Price to Overall Dining (POD): 10/10

    Spicy Noodles w/Pork lunch special
    Julie H.

    My go to noodles is always Spicy Drunken Noodles when I eat Thai food. I got medium spice and it had a pretty good kick to it. If your spice tolerance is low I wouldn't suggest getting medium. The lunch special comes with salad and soup. Good portion of noodles & the pork was not dry and overcooked like most places.

    Panang Curry

    Panang Curry ($14.95) - This was such a flavorful curry! I ordered it with chicken and medium spice and loved the spice level on this one.

    Sweet Basil Stir Fry with chicken

    Pad See Ew I knew that I'd be around Escondido/San Marcos area today do I looked up restaurants to try. I almost wrote off Muay Thai kitchen because of the name. I thought, with a name like this, food couldn't be good. I couldn't have been more wrong. Good thing that I looked at the photos. Growing up in Thailand, I could tell authentic Thai food when I see one. And the photos made me want to try this place. Pad See Ew looked very authentic and I just had to try it. We were greeted by Noyd who was very friendly and confirmed with me that indeed Pad See Ew was the dish to try. She told me that pad Thai was also good but she wouldn't recommend to take it to go (I already ordered Pad See Ew so she knew that the other order would be to-go). When we discussed the spiciness level, she recommended me a 2! A 2! What an insult! I have been known to order 9-10 in other restaurants and you think I can only handle a 2! She told me that it's really spicy there. Fine, at least get me a 4 please . This is the first time in my life that i ordered anything below 7. It'd better be hot enough! Well, she was right. 4 was decently spicy. Truth be told, I could go much higher but 4 was spicy enough to tease the tastebuds but no suffering. Maybe I should try this level more in the future. Pad See Ew was as I expected. Nice wok hei. A little spicy and a little sweet. Just how a good food stand Pad Sww Ew would taste like in Bangkok (this is a compliment!) All I can say is, if you live close by, check them out. We also ordered chicken basil, which was not super authentic but it was still tasty. Will definitely try pad thai next time.

    9. Pad Thai Noodle Lunch Special 12. Thai Fried Rice Lunch Special
    Tia M.

    Greeted and given a choice where to sit. Was cold out so we chose away from the door. Bathrooms were decently clean as was restaurant. Lunch specials $12-16 meals. And some appetizers in smaller quantities and price is right at $2-5 Soup, salad, main dish (smaller portion), and we got a side/appetizer. Cream cheese Wontons for appetizer, $2.50 will get you two. Best I've ever had! May seem little dipping sauce they give you (half of a tiny container but I only used half of that tiny half and it was more than enough. Goodness I'll return just for the wontons! So good! But don't burn your tongue, remember cream cheese gets piping hot. Do not leave without getting these wontons! Enjoy!!! Hubby chose Thai fried rice with pork $14 Was good he said. He got mildish 3 spice level and I couldn't handle it lol so his meal was safe from my trying bites. Soup simple liquid but oh so good, obviously not so simple once you've tried it, it's yummy. Salad was yummy too, we both finished our salad and both very happy with it. I chose veggie pad Thai $12. Add cashews $3 No spice. Call me boring. It's for medical reasons though. No spice for me! (Said in no soup for you voice) ha ha ha. The pad Thai was best I've had in California but understand, I've had my friend's Thai in Kentucky and the way it's made in the east is so incredibly different taste wise, I'm not a good measure for this dish. The fact I say it's best I've had in the 3 yrs living here in San Diego... that's saying A LOT. I won't repeat it. My daughter won't either. But understand it's because we grew up on our friend from Thailand's pad Thai and that's how it's also cooked in all Kentucky Thai restaurants so it seems I just won't be enjoying Thai here. I did order ingredients to attempt making it but again, this is the only worth while Thai place I've found in all San Diego county thus far. I love waitress was upfront about added costs to add ons. Much appreciated. No surprises. The waitress was so nice and so welcoming and attentive without bothering. Sincerely such a great waitress. And knowledgeable on Thai history, we had questions and she shared so many interesting respectfully things and was so happy to teach us as we asked. Photos and such abound and it was nice to learn. We asked, if you aren't interested the staff will let you be and enjoy your meal and company. But since we came at an off time, it was nice to chat and learn more. We will repeat this place. Lunch was nice. Truly the soup salad and wontons filled me up. Hubby ate all his food and was full. My pad Thai I took for my daughter. So says smaller portions but you still get a lot. Get the wontons!

    Pad See Ew. Just terrible.
    Adam Z.

    Ordered Uber Eats from here tonight. I've picked up a bunch of times and it has been fine. Nothing special, but it is the most convenient Thai restaurant around. It has always been inconsistent, especially with the spice level. Tonight a different story. Garbage. Tasteless. An insult to Thai food. Apparently the Thai restaurant is out of Thai basil. I won't be back.

    Pad Thai & Sweet Basil Stir Fry
    Amanda J.

    My first time dining in. I order to go often. I came here with my husband on a Friday evening and it was busy. We were seated at a table after a few minutes wait. Servers were all friendly and helpful. We shared the Pad Thai with Chicken and Sweet Basil with Chicken. We both like spicy so we got spicy level 8. As usual, the food tasted fresh and really good.

    Spicy noodles with chicken - fantastic!
    David D.

    Exceptional food and outstanding service. Every dish is full of flavor and consistently excellent. The friendly staff and lively atmosphere make it a place I'm always happy to return to.

Customer service was great as the employee made me feel welcome while taking my order. The dining room is simply decorated but still done professionally unlike some other restaurants in the area. Music wasn't too loud and lighting isn't too bright or too dim. I ordered pineapple curry with chicken, and proceeded to devour it. The curry had decent kick but was also rich in flavor. Rice was nice and fluffy despite being late in the evening right before closing. Next time I visit, I will definitely try out the Lao cuisine as I haven't tried it before. I didn't order a drink this visit but I intend to next time just to see how their Thai tea or boba is. I would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area. Parking is free and easy enough, but the donut shop in front of the restaurant has a flickering light which may irritate some people's eyes. Thai food is almost everywhere in San Diego now but not every shop has fantastic flavor. This place is worth revisiting though.

But this time was a huge disappointment after 8 hours of driving I wanted to pick up some Thai food . I ordered a Thai iced tea with boba , Shrimp Thai green curry level 6 spice ... I had only gotten 4 tiny shrimps and over cooked sliced scraps of veggies ? jalapeño , shavings of eggplant and bamboo . The curry itself was very salty and inedible. No spice level just a shit ton of sodium or fish sauce . The Thai iced tea was overly sweet and had soggy old boba . Honestly felt like someone chewed up the boba and spit it out . Disgusting . What a waste of 32.00 even after being so hungry after my drive I couldn't force myself to eat another bite . I'm probably never going to come here again after this experience .. There is also a cooks wanted sign outside .. so that probably is a red flag Hopefully this place can get it together .
