    Love this place! Came in to the restaurant today. I have ordered from Pure Thai on DoorDash many times before. My favorite is the Pad Woon Sen with shrimp. So light and flavorful. The fried rice is stellar too. Pure Thai is great for vegetarian eaters. Pure platter is also a winner with a variety of fresh and fried appetizers for $19.99. Pro Tip: Show them your Yelp review for a free Thai iced tea!

    Cashew veg - sauce too runny, lacks flavor
    Wendy G.

    Came for the roti and left with a mixed impression. The Good - they have multiple types of Thai style roti, and I enjoyed the peanut sauce and veg dice accompaniments. The mango curry was also yummy, featuring plenty of mango chunks, a balanced curry profile and a nice variety of fresh veg. The Bad - the Cashew Veg seemed like it came from a different kitchen. The sauce was way more watery than expected, which could hVe been overcome if the thin sauce had any flavor but unfortunately it did not. Also, the vast majority of veg was cabbage and there were multiple types of veg that did not look very fresh. Conclusion - While I was glad to find decent roti near me (without making the 1.5 hr round-trip trek to Carlsbad), the price point here was not great ($11 for 2 roti - - even worse value at $7 for one "dessert" roti aka regular roti piece with small side of canned condensed milk) and its hard to overlook the big miss with a standard dish like cashew veg.

    We love pure Thai. We come once a week as a tradition. I'm convinced their tom kha soup is the best in town. Plus the people who work there are super sweet. We have a somewhat complex special order and they are so sweet about it and always get it right. I also find that I really like their chicken meat. I can be a bit picky about chicken and like theirs a lot. It's well trimmed and never too chewy. I also like that the inside is cozy, although we mostly do take out. Grateful to have this place in our community! (And be sure to finish out with a donut next door from a Christy's!)

    Drunken noodle with tofu
    Grace G.

    Pure Thai is located in a little gas-station-sized plaza alongside a donut shop and mexican place right off the main road. It's my friend's go to in the Point Loma area for years. We were seated quickly on a Friday night and it was casual but comfortable dining. My friend's pad see ew was good, flavorful and how she always likes it. I got the drunken noodle which had a higher spice level. Not too bad, but when I ate the first tofu piece it was a little cold-just on that piece. And although the heat level was a noticeable mild-medium I felt that the flavor of my noodle was not as noticeable as I would like. Otherwise I had no complaints. The veggies were fresh, service was chill, and pricing acceptable.

    Thank you staff for creating a pleasant dinner experience for my partner and I first visit. As a vegan, I enjoyed the food & options to choose from! Great place for vegans & non vegan diets to come together. The interior is clean & well decorated too. The overall price is reasonable for amount of food!

    FRESH SALAD ROLLS WITH TOFU
    Trevor T.

    Went here after visiting the library and it was a delight. Lots of tea choices. The thing I was most excited for was the sarong shrimp. They didn't have it listed in the appetizers, but they had a picture of it. This menu item is near and dear to my heart because I would order it when I was a child at my local Thai restaurant. Most Thai spots don't make it because I think it is a pain in the butt to do. Anyway I ordered it and the noodles were thicker than in the picture on the menu, but still delightful. I also ordered the fresh salad rolls with tofu which were filling while fresh. The table ordered Tom Kha soup, and I appreciate that you can tell them on a scale of 1-10 how spicy. My friend ordered the pad see eew and it was fine, but nothing to write home about. PAY WITH CASH for 5% OFF!!!!

    COCONUT SHRIMP
    Deseray S.

    I ordered for delivery and was a little worried the food would be soggy and cold but it wasn't! The flavors in the protein for the lettuce wrap were so good! The mushrooms added a nice earth taste and great texture. The coconut shrimp were fried perfectly and season well.

Well, I was impressed by their food and the service provided by K. We ordered Pork Loin and pork belly chop, curry noodles with duck, papaya salad, and braised beef ribs. They were all soooooo good. I ordered Mango Sticky Rice for dessert and they offered a free scoop of ice cream for my birthday. Our waiter K was knowledgeable about the food and was very friendly. I rarely give 5 stars but this one checks all the boxes. It's a bit pricey for Thai food but it's worth the visit. It's a Michelin restaurant for a good reason.

We were lucky and were able to grab the spot right out front. For drinks we each ordered a cocktail. It did take a bit for them to come out but once they did you can tell time and effort were put into making them. They were beautiful and all tasted great. We ordered 4 dishes to share, the wasabi scallop ceviche, crispy baby crab, braised beef panang, and crab fried rice. The ceviche was definitely one of my favorites. Super flavorful, fresh, with the perfect amount of wasabi. The crispy baby crab was savory and easy to eat, especially since you're eating the whole crab, shell and all. The curry in the braised beef panang was so addicting, I couldn't stop eating it. The crab fried rice was tasty and filling. For dessert we got the mango sticky rice. The mangoes were fresh and sweet. Overall pretty standard but still yummy. Service was friendly, helpful and attentive. All the food came out in the timely manner. The vibe of the restaurant is casual but can be a little dressy for a nice date. Overall I definitely recommend a try here. Beautiful presentation with all the food and drinks while still being delicious.

I got us a beautiful Airbnb right next to Our Lady of Peace Catholic Girls School (mind out of the gutter, please). It's gorgeous, but we didn't know where to eat. I did a quick Yelp Search; thank you, Yelpers! I found this place. It was only a stone's throw from where we are staying, which is a beautiful little neighborhood! I was very hungry for some reason, probably from all the moving and lifting of boxes, but we came here. I had the Garlic Pepper w/tofu stir fry, and my husband had the lo mein with mock duck. For an appetizer, we had the tofu spring rolls! DELISH. Becky, our gracious server, was wonderful and was kind enough to break out our bill. I had two Chardonnay nays (Martin reference), which were only $ 10.00 each- good wine and cheaper than that current white wine at the Whistle Stop. My dish was very good. I love the crispy broccoli, and they put some type of cabbage slaw mixed with the sauce in it, which was incredible. My husband loved his lo mein. I am not a fan of lo mein, but whatever, it smokes his shorts. We are moving out of San Diego, so over the next three to four months we will be going to new places in other neighborhoods to try them out before we leave. Beautiful ambiance too; I love the way it's decorated. They are the same group that owns my other favorite Thai place, Plumeria. One last note: some genius wrote that this isn't a good place for vegetarians; I giggled when I saw it on Yelp. Lots of vegetarian and vegan choices right on their menu.

They have a lunch special Monday through Friday from 11:30 AM to 3 PM, ranging from $13.95 to $15.95 depending on the protein you choose.

I got the lowest spice level since I don't do spice, and it was perfect for me. It came with three pieces of shrimp, and the portion was a good size for lunch. The service was great. Our waiter kept our waters refilled, and our food came out in less than 10 minutes. The portions were a decent size and definitely enough to fill you up for lunch. The inside is cute and has a nice atmosphere. There was also plenty of street parking, which is always a plus. Overall, I had a good experience and am looking forward to coming back to try some of their other dishes!
