My daughter and I like to come here, she's 11 and just started enjoying Thai food! It's a lovely peaceful atmosphere and delicious food. The servers are also very kind and always have a nice lunch. read more

This is not your standard Thai restuarant, but something way better. The Golden Bags looked like artwork, and tasted great. The Tom Ka soup a perfect balance and the best Ive ever had. I'll be back again just to het more of it. Sticky rice with mango is something you should split, its really good and surprising. Great friendly fast service, and very clean too. Put this place on your list. read more

Savory Thai - Golden Bags - Thai Near Me - Oceanside, California

Very very quiet place and relaxing. Customer service was good. There is plenty of parking al around. I'm not a egg roll person but those egg rolls were awesome and a good size. My plate was a mild chicken and string beans. Spice was good it was harsh nor weak. It was a good portion and it was fresh because the plate was super hot! Idk about paying 3.50 for a soda. That's part of the business I guess. The chicken was good and tender nothing rubber like, nor dry! If I'm ever around the area I will definitely come back if I'm in the mood for Thai food. read more

Thai food is always a unique experience wherever you go. But I am sure that I found one of the most unique, here at Savory Thai. Upon entering the restaurant, my family and I were ushered into a tiny booth right by the door. The place was empty. That should have been my first warning. After being seated and handed menus, the waiter--who l think was the only wait staff in the whole restaurant-- disappeared for nearly 10 minutes. Normally I wouldn't mind this because I typically need time to look at the menu. However, being familiar with the cuisine, we were all ready to order within only a few minutes. After completing our order, it took about 15 minutes to get our drinks and additional 5 for our appetizer of glass noodle soup and chicken satay. Warning number two. Every time the waiter would disappear from our table, he would place himself behind the bar area and stare in our direction. No joke. It was moderately creepy. Then, interestingly enough, when we needed something, like napkins, a drink refill or extra plates, he was no where to be found! It was ridiculously upsetting. Not to mention that when he came to the table to clear SOME of the plates (yes, we were still eating) he brought a whole cart full of dirty table settings up close to the table. It was disgusting! Then he hovered there until we were done eating, so he could take the rest! I mean wow, really? Overall, the food was prepared with a lot of flavor and with the freshest of ingredients so that was a major plus. However, the prices were steep for a family of 4, especially for lunch--$94 c'mon!--not to mention the helicopter-like tendencies of the waiter... There just isn't enough of a "pro" here to keep me even remotely interested in returning. read more

Just had delivery from them. Spring rolls, pad Thai, and roast duck with green curry. Outstanding food!!! Four thumbs up!!! read more

Pad see ew - Not spicy at all and the sauce tastes exactly like a beef gravy. It is veryyy sweet tasting, not a fan... Spice tray - Seriously lacking. Three condiments included were a small amount of red pepper flakes, sriracha sauce that smelt funky, and a early red paste that looked liked more sriracha mixed with red pepper flakes that also tasted off. Tom Kha - I would order this again, great flavor and highly recommend. I ordered it with chicken, but had a few rubbery tasting pieces. The chicken did not taste fresh so I would order it without next time... read more

Amazing food very authentic and made fresh! First time going and got the pad Thai noodles and shrimp spring rolls. The sauce made for the spring rolls was so good you could put it on a shoe. Finished with mango sticky rice and it was delicious! Service and atmosphere is great will definitely be returning! read more

Great luck with a local Thai restaurant that is so good. Never disappoints. We are partial to the spicy (drunken) noodles or pad Thai but the wontons were exceptionally tasty. Recommend. read more

Tried this place for the first time and had a lovely experience both food and service was good. Will definitely be back. :)

I've been very impressed with Savory Thai and grateful it's my local Thai restaurant. I've ordered quite a variety of dishes now, on multiple occasions, and it's been delicious every time! I highly recommend their satay and their som tam is very authentic and spicy!! You really can't go wrong with your order here (have also tried the tom yum, pad see ew, pad Thai, Massaman curry, and more). I've only gotten takeout so far and the service is always great and friendly. My one point of feedback is that sometimes, the beef in the pad see ew can be a tiny bit chewy, so I usually just get it with tofu (which is incredible). If you're hesitant, don't be! You'll love your meal here (this half-Thai definitely does!). read more

Beautiful ambience! Elegant place settings! Awesome food! Good service! Best Thai restaurant in North County!!! Possibly not a great location; because it should be crowded all the time and isn't read more

The food was good and the portions large. Plus we had excellent service, perhaps because it was late and the restaurant was about to close. The atmosphere is light, bright and the restaurant, large. read more

First things first the smell when u walk is inviting the service was amazing and the food was good I had a pot of wonton soup which was good and the crying tiger special that meat was so tender and delicious I definitely recommend u stop by if your in the area read more

OK neighborhood Thai joint. The mirror along one wall makes the restaurant look so much bigger. In fact, I didn't realize it was a mirror until my dining partners pointed it out. They also have these cacti/succulents on each table as decor. I had the red curry and a bite of the seafood soup. The red curry wasn't as fragrant compared with other places and was too sweet for me. It also had a peanuty (or something) aftertaste, like a satay sauce. The seafood soup was fragrant and flavorful, but not seafoody enough. It just needed more, well, seafood in it. Must get: mango sticky rice. It was warm, sweet, salty and all kinds of good. read more

The name Savory Thai doesn't suit them at all. Their yellow chicken curry is in fact NOT savory. The "curry" I received was watery, oily, bland and loaded with sugar. I usually order from Kinaly Thai, but since I've moved they are now just out of range! Dear "Savory" Thai, please order the yellow chicken curry from Kinaly Thai and take notes. Their curry is creamy, savory, flavorful, with bits thai chillies and clumps of spices at the bottom of their container because THEY actually SEASON their food unlike you. If you make the improvements and study Kinaly Thai's yellow chicken curry I promise you I'll come back. Until then you'll fail. Your business will sink. I'm extremely disappointed. What you served me was absolutely disgusting. Not even the chicken itself is good. The quality is terrible. It's rubbery, overcooked and has a strange aftertaste. I'm actually very angry. I wish I could get my money back and walk myself all the way to Kinaly Thai and order from them instead. You're scamming your customers with this monstrosity you call food. SHAME ON YOU. Edit: After eating the food I felt very nauseous. I didn't realize the reason was the food until I finished the second half at a later time. I managed to make taste tolerable by using a bunch of my own seasonings and cream I was saving for a recipe I was going to make. Anyways, after finishing it off I felt sick again. I realized it was the food. I want to throw up, but I've been holding it down. Even if you did have Kinaly Thai's taste, I will not order from you again. There's obviously a health hazard in your kitchen. If I catch the coronavirus soon I will know it came from your restaurant and I will do what I can to pursue legal action. I never go outside, I sanitize everything that comes into the home before storing them and I stay pretty isolated. Your restaurant will be the only thing out of my normal routine. I feel so sick. You people need to be shut down. read more

Not only is this a beautiful, comfortable restaurant, the food is fantastic! The service is fast & impeccable! Everyone who works here is kind and helpful. I was invited here by a neighbor. I was not that familiar with Thai food but everything was absolutely delicious! I was so impressed I'm taking my boyfriend there for his birthday and I know he'll be impressed because I sure was! read more

Skip this place and go somewhere else! Not worth the money and bad service. I'm always down to try new Thai food places being as it is my favorite type of food. And since there's so many in SoCal why not try them out! Well this place made me realize why. This place has four stars and I honestly don't really know why. Don't get me wrong, this place was so cute walking into it and it's decorated very much more high scale with wooden features, a huge wine bar, upholstered booths with cute accent pillows and glass walls with mirrors, etc. BUT upon being seated no one came up to me for about 15 minutes. Even for waters. By the time the other person in my party came out of the bathroom, they STILL hadn't been up to us. Someone finally noticed us sitting there (the place was NOT busy AT ALL, kinda sad for a Saturday night too) and walked up to us asking if we were ready. Like dude I don't even have a glass of water yet. There was absolutely no hospitality coming from this place. An older man took our order and we ordered small since I was honestly not knowing what to expect from this place. I was expecting more since it was priced higher than other Thai food places in the area. I noticed a younger guy waiting on the other couple tables around us and he only stopped by to refill my water once since I gobbled that down in a second from waiting so long for a glass. That was the only time I saw him. Then another random lady refilled my water again. Our food finally came out and it looked good. We only ordered a red curry and a Tom-Kha soup (I had last minute changed it to Tom-Yum soup but they brought out the other one aka not listening to me) and it at first tasted good. Then I started to realize how thick the curry was which was not normal. After a couple more bites my stomach started to bubble and I started burping SO MUCH. Which I knew was NOT normal. I have eaten Thai food at so many places and that has never happened to me before. No one checked on us for the rest of the time and the service was just overall bad. No friendly anything and I didn't even feel like I had someone waiting on me. Therefore, no tip. And I'm a server. So that means a lot. read more

Pretty good place for Thai in Oceanside. Very quiet and clean inside. I stopped by for a quick lunch and got the Thai fried rice. Place wasn't packed and service was attentive. The food came out quick and lunch came with an eggroll and a side salad. Food tasted great and portion was perfect for lunch. read more

My order was delivery, it included, spicy basil, chicken wings. The vegetables were crisp and very tasty. I enjoyed the wings, but as always, there are never enough. Overall a good experience and tasty. read more

Found my new Thai spot after moving to Oceanside. I typically order Pad Thai and Panang Curry. But since the whole family was here, we also got Tom Yung Soup. Everything was fantastic and huge portions. Washed it all down with a Thai tea and Mango Sticky rice for desert! read more

2nd time over a 2 year period. Attentiveness could use an improvement, I was served my ordered Pad See Ew with chicken mildly spicy without utensil/chopstick and no napkin. I had to ask for both specifically. Mildly Spicy was more Medium Spicy which is probably just my taste buds are getting old and more sensitive. read more

I ordered Savory Thai through DoorDash and was alarmed at how much I had spent for such little food. Now, a critic might argue that the quality exceeds the quantity; however I've ordered from other Thai restraunts and have spent less for the same quality and significantly greater quantity. Really disappointed in the service and food portions. read more

One of the best Thai restaurants in North County. Amazing, attentive & friendly service. Delicious food, fresh ingredients and generous portions for price. read more

Quite possibly the best Thai food I've ever had! Savory Thai is authentic cuisine made with the freshest quality ingredients. I have been here twice, once for lunch and once for dinner with my family. Both experiences were pleasant and the food was delicious! Spicy Seafood Soup- Similar to Tom Yum, this soup is also made with a chicken broth base and lemongrass. It's the perfect combination of spicy and tangy and includes some of my favorite seafoods! I'm a fan of the shrimp and white fish, but you surely can't forget about the mushrooms! I wish there were more! Yellow Curry- I love most varieties of curry, but Yellow Thai Curry is definitely up there on my list! I've ordered this both times I've visited and the second time was just as good as the first, if not better. Made with coconut milk, the broth is hot, rich, and sweet... Just like my man! Kidding! You're also given the opportunity to adjust the spice level to fit your palette. Savory Thai nailed it with this one! If you have room, or even if you don't, I highly recommend the mango with sweet sticky rice. It's the perfect way to end an already delicious meal. I'm not a mango person, but I could eat this all day! It's so damn good! I love that it's not overwhelmingly sweet. There are plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options as well, so that is a plus! Serving sizes are huge and you definitely get what you pay for. Lunch specials are great! The owner of the restaurant as well as the rest of the staff are very friendly and welcoming, constantly checking on us to see if anything else is needed. Atmosphere is quiet and relaxing, perfect for dinner after a long day. Savory Thai is one of my favorites and I look forward to visiting the next time I'm in North County! read more

So this was my first time having Thai food. I have to say , this was a pretty fancy Thai food place. Very quiet. The seating area had pillows and so many options on the menu. The food was very good. You get what you pay for. I would say in my opinion it's worth it. If your around the area I would definitely give this place a try. Waiter was good to. Don't recall the gentlemens name but he was good at checking in on me. Making sure if I needed anything? How was the food? Etc. So that makes me happy. I didn't have to go looking for my waiter. read more

I am a fan of savory thai but not anymore. This is the 4th time they made us wait for the food for pick up. Last time was 15 minutes late which was still acceptable. And today we WAITED FOR 30MINTUES on top of the 40 minutes given. This is not the first time so my point here is do say so if you need more time to prepare the food so we can pick it up later. And the quantity for both dishes were 20% less. Having shortage of meat and beans? $40 for 2 dishes and never on time for pick up inconsistent quantity isn't worth it. Giving 1 star because the food is good. read more

Really excellent food! Honestly the best Thai food I have had in America. Delicious, good portion size, most courteous and attentive staff. Peaceful ambiance read more

has to be the worst or 2nd worst Thai restaurant of my life. Maybe, when the time machine is invented, I will go back and erase this visit from my life. The spring rolls were dripping with oil, the pineapple fried hardly had any pineapple taste, Thai basil was tasteless. There was another dish that was horrible. But they kind of did a "don't want it" and didnt charge me for it - that was well appreciated. The service was not the greatest - the waitress wanted to dump the dish on the table and run away. That bad dish came more than half way through our meal. I guess people who don't understand good Thai food can keep patronizing this place but I wonder how does a mediocre place like this survive in San Diego. Responding to what the owner said: we have been to a lot of other Thai and Cinese restaurants and tgey are able to make great food without using fish/Oyester sauce. Bimal read more

Fabulous Thai food. Comfy booths. Sweet, attentive servers. My favorites: Tom Ka Gai (chicken coconut soup) so flavorful! Crab fried rice -- with big bites of real crab. Really, everything is very good. read more

This place is located in TJ Maxx shopping center. Inside is quaint atmosphere. Inside is clean and nicely decorated. It's almost surprising how the restaurant looks inside because it can definitely be a borderline fancy dinner date location. They have lunch specials but not all items are available. Both menus I picked were nott on the lunch special. Overall, I'd come back and try more! Especially the desserts! read more

I came with some of my good friends who have been here many times and I decided to let them order for me and we were going to eat family style. This was my first time having Thai food so I was excited but also a little nervous. I liked the atmosphere of the restaurant. Felt welcoming and relaxing. Was very quiet even though there were a few other customers there. For appetizer we ordered the fresh spring rolls. Very healthy. It had shrimp, red cabbage, bean sprouts, mint, and basil. Came with peanut hoisin sauce. That made it taste less healthy and more delicious. For our meal we ordered the Red Curry and Pad Thai. I didn't like the red curry but that's one of my friends favorite. The Pad Thai is what I ate the most of. I have nothing to compare it to. Not a fan of the bean sprouts, I was picking it off. Without the bean sprouts, I really liked it and it filled me up. You get a lot of food in my opinion. After exploring the menu there are a few other items I felt like I would have enjoyed a lot more. I'd go back but I will order for myself next time :) read more

Handsdown the best Thai food I've had in Oceanside. We've ordered many times and a wide variety of items, and they're all good. Tonight I had panang curry tofu, husband had spicy basil with chicken, and daughter had fried tofu. All tasty and consistently excellent. Best advice I have is if you see a daily special, go for it. The owner makes these from time to time, and they're always incredible. Love this place, love the people who own and work here, and hope they are around for a very long time. read more

Savory Thai is my all time favorite spot for Thai food. I never take pictures because I just want to absorb the atmosphere and the eats! They give good portion sizes, and nothing on the menu is lacking in flavor. I've tried about all of it at this point so... I can say that with certainty. Not to create a spirit of competition, but, many locals will prefer Ocean Thai, and it has to be just because Savory Thai isn't as well known, because Savory Thai has such higher quality dishes. That's it, that's the post. read more
