    Best restaurant in Escondido! My daughter loves this restaurant so much. The rice comes out in heart and flower shapes! The restaurant decorated for my daughter's birthday dinner and made it the best birthday we have ever had. We did family platters and it was all set up when we arrived. Recommended for dinner parties. All 3 chefs in my family gave it 5 stars!

    Pad See Ew
    Andy A.

    Don't mind my terrible photo as I started eating and then took a picture since it was worth sharing! I tried the Pad See Ew with Duck and it was so delicious! The duck skin was so crispy and the meat was so good. The noodles were well seasoned and delicious I did the level 5 spicy and it was the perfect amount of spicy where you get the kick but aren't suffering the consequences. I would recommend this place to anyone and definitely plan on bringing my wife's and friends here. Also, I did go during the week at dinner time and they only had take out that day but it was still worth taking it home The place seems family run and I would want to continue going here so please check this place out. I don't think you'll have regrets. I have struggled to find a Thai place since moving to this area from LA and this definitely is going to be my spot now

    I had lunch here during short travels in San Diego. It is a casual, small Thai restaurant. It's clean and welcoming....really admired the lighting fixtures! The Pad Thai with chicken was okay. Once thing that would have been better is if more vegetables were included such as carrots. I thought veggies were sparse. The noodles were very tasty! I also tried the sweet, sticky rice with mangoes. It was satisfying after the Pad Thai. Place is located in a strip mall with ample parking out front.

    Had high hopes for proper Thai food, apparently hard to find states side and again, I was disappointed. The Laad was good if a little salty. But they were no lettuce leaves to rap it in. Isn't the rap the point? The duck was awful. Tough and it seems it was made ahead of time, warmed up and covered with sauce so I wouldn't notice.

    Crab Rangoon

    Delicious food. Crab Rangoon was tasty. Yellow curry was one of the best I've had. Great service. Nice ambiance. 10/10 will eat here again.

    Pad Thai Noodles with tofu
    Rebekah H.

    My husband has been here several times in the past, and was finally able to take me to try it out! I got the tofu pad Thai, and he got to try the pineapple fried rice. We both really enjoyed our food; good sized portion, flavorful, and good quality! Our food came out fairly quickly as well, it was a pleasant surprise. It's a nice, quiet little spot. A lot of people seem to order to-go from here. Definitely enjoyed the Pad Thai Restaurant.

    Grand opening! Same menu. Nephew Sing took over
    Rebecca T.

    Yay they reopened after changing hands and the food still tastes just as good! The new owner is family of the previous owner who still comes in to help from time to time, after chitchatting with the current owner now. The chef and our server (Ken?) were amazing! The chef cooked everything so well. We had fried rice, pad kee mao (drunken noodles with basil), egg rolls and Laotian papaya salad. Everything still tastes good like before! Our server was very thoughtful and attentive. We went with our kiddo and the server asked if we needed more napkins, straw cup for the kid, etc. he also opened up the plastic bag for us instead of just handing it out when we're boxing up our food. Great service! Come back come back! They're open now!

    Papaya Salad Laos style

The seating area is nice and the food is good. But I won't be going back after being treated like that after dropping 100$ for lunch.

We found free parking on the street a block or two down from the restaurant. Service (4/5): You order at the counter and then they bring your food to you. A couple of things stand out to me about their service. I was looking at the menu and was about to order. Someone behind me cut in line without asking if I was ready to order. The lady working noticed this and asked me to order first. Humanity still exists! They also check on your periodically even though this isn't true table service which is a nice touch. On the flip side, they did try and upsell me to add bacon bits to my dish which I was all for until I saw it was a $3.50 upcharge. I asked them to remove it. A little too steep. Ambiance (4/5): My type of restaurant. Casual with some charm. We sat at a table across from the bar. They have some cool decor, too. No complaints. Drinks (4/5): I had a beer flight because I often can't say no to a flight. I love the variety and being able to try new beers, especially when I'm traveling. While they don't have a huge selection, they had just enough beers that were interesting for me to take the plunge. Food (4/5): I did the country poutine which comes with fries, gravy, fried chicken bites, and green onions. I'm a sucker for loaded fries so I couldn't say no. Especially for this twist on a classic poutine. Generous portion size as I had hoped. A little more chicken would have been nice, but outside of that, very solid.
