One of our favorite Thai spots in SD! Our indisputable go-tos are the classic Pad Thai and the Crab Fried Rice. If you prefer things on the saucier side, you're going to LOVE their Pad Thai! It's not too sweet, perfectly tangy and sour, and is super saucy. Perfection! The Crab Fried Rice is extremely fragrant and they really don't skimp on the crab. You can't go wrong! Being in North Park, parking is pretty challenging around the area. The only downside!
There's so many Thai places in N Park and had not tried Soi 30th before, mainly challenging parking in the area. Maybe due to holiday there was no issue with Parking tonight. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Walked in and the restaurant had a simple decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It seems get a lot of takeout orders because when we walked in, we were immediately asked us if we were there to pick up. The server was nice, but seemed very distracted and busy. We ordered the papaya salad, the Burmese curry soup and the chow mein. Chow mein, good and basic flavors. The green papaya salad was very good and I would definitely get that again. The Burmese soup was delicious very surprising, a little sweeter than I expected I want to come back again and try other items.
Khao Soi is perhaps my favorite soup. It's got all the notes - savory, sweet, sour, spicy. This one is divine. Two perfectly cooked chicken legs nestled in a heap of noodles, pickled veggies and a birds nest of fried noodles. The textures are great - this is a perfect dish. We were the only ones dining, but there were several take out orders while we ate. The food is wonderful and comes out piping hot. Support places like this!
I've tried plenty of Thai food around the city and this spot really became one of my favorites. The drunken noodles were packed with flavor and had the right amount of spice. The Pad Thai was different but better! Got to try it to see what I'm talking about. It's a small location but service is extremely friendly and everything tasted fresh and authentic. Definitely one of the best Thai spots I've tried in SD. I'll be back soon
Great restaurant, very fast and very good food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is casual lots of families and small groups.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The waiter was so friendly and our food came out in about 10 minutes. The pineapple fried rice was amazing. Very large portion lasted me 2 meals and had both chicken and shrimp along with cashews and pineapple! 10/10 recommend as a casual date night or easy please to meet up with friends or for Togo food.
[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute neighborhood thai restaurant hidden in North Park.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It may look like a hole in the wall, but don't be deceived.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It is so delicious! Decently priced and fresh ingredients. My girl friend and I had a girls name since we were craving curry. It was so worth it. Since its limited menu, you know the menu was delicious since the focus is on the food. Would come again! Great for vegetarians!
I remember walking across 30th ST Monday through Friday for kindergarten and 1st grade. Not many food options back then. My favorite was Dairy Queen. Now Soi 30th is here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute small spot with indoor and outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Won ton soup came in a fancy warmer to keep the soup hot. Pork won tons had a nice pork flavor and it tasted like the pork was seasoned with some salt or msg. I liked the carrots, cabbage, and celery. Very good dish. Crispy pork had crunchy skin and a smoky pork flavor. A bit like Porky's lechon. Very good dish. 2nd visit I tried the yakisoba chow mein with shrimp. I liked the noodles which had a nice snap and mild flavor. The carrots and cabbage had a fresh flavor. Shrimp had a nice snap to them. What I didn't like was the bitter garlic flavor. I tried removing the little pieces of garlic but everything had that bitter flavor to it. Fried chicken wings had a crunchy batter and delicious fried chicken flavor. My favorite dish here. Lady in charge was very nice and got my food out fast.
This small Asian eatery in North Park is located next door to a popular Chicago-style pizzeria on 30th St. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Upon walking into Soi 30th, I noticed some quirky wall decorations that reflected the Thai culture.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There was a small line in front of me, but it moved pretty quickly. Normally, I order a noodle dish at Thai restaurants, but this time I selected an appetizer of Thai Sausage and an entrée of Thai Basil Fried Rice with squid. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was an equal amount of indoor seating and outside tables on the patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I sat at a high-top table inside and waited for my food which didn't take long. The sausage came out as sliced pieces on a bed of lettuce with onions and peanuts scattered on top. That surprised me because I saw a picture of this appetizer as three mini sausages each on a skewer. The meat was nicely spiced though so I had no complaints from that perspective. The portion size for the bowl of fried rice was small for the price as others had mentioned. This was another Thai joint in which the spiciness level was not watered down for American palates. It wasn't a big deal for me, but if my Thai Basil Fried Rice was considered mild, then the medium must be hot for those that like some kick in their food. When I left, the line to order had gotten longer. It's a good sign Soi 30th was getting steady business, not to mention the phone was frequently ringing for what was likely take-out orders.
This place has some dishes not typically found in other Thai restaurants - such as Khao Moo and pumpkin curry so we had to try it The pumpkin is big, chunky and not mushy. The Khao Moo looked and tasted like that reddish Chinese BBQ sauce. I'm not a big fan of the Chinese BBQ sauce in general so this wouldn't be my preferred dish. The pad thai was saucy which is what I like. Then the mango sticky rice was great - mango is naturally sweet. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Venue has a street anime vibe - could be better as it not as inviting but the food will definitely change your mind and make you come back[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] .
Service was excellent. Fast friendly and just impressive. Food came out quickly and it tasted fresh. Got the pad Thai with crispy pork and the flavor was delicious just enough sweetness with the spicyness. Noodles cooked perfectly. The pumpkin curry also was flavorful. The flavors worked well and I e of my favorite curries. The Khao moo kob moo dang was I think my favorite dish. The crispy pork and the roasted pork worked well together. The sauce that you drizzle over the top has some sweetness and balanced perfectly with the chili oil they bring you on the side. The Mango sticky rice was excellent. I don't generally like it but this was by far the best mango sticky rice I had. The Mango was perfectly ripe and sweet. The rice cooked perfectly. Ample seating inside and some tables outside. Small little gem that I think I'll be back again and again!! Try it. You won't be disappointed.
(4 stars, rounding up from a solid 3.5) Came in for a quick solo lunch at Soi 30th in North Park and I'm already planning my next visit when I'm not on the clock! Ordered the Crispy Pork Belly and the Pad Thai, and wow--both were fantastic. The pork belly super crispy crackly skin with that melt-in-your-mouth juicy fat underneath, and the sweet-tangy sauce it came with was perfect for dipping. The Pad Thai was packed with flavor and had a pleasant kick of heat (definitely leans spicy, but not overwhelming). Tamarind, peanuts, lime, everything balanced really well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was blissfully quiet when I went (mid-week lunchtime, just me and one other person), so service was fast and I got to eat in peace.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Only reason I'm docking half a star is because I was in such a rush to get back to work that I basically inhaled everything instead of savoring it like it deserved. Totally my fault, not theirs! The food is legitimately great--next time I'm coming on my day off so I can relax, order more things, and give it the full attention it deserves. Highly recommend if you're craving Thai in North Park! Will be back soon.
This is an excellent Thai spot! Street parking can be a bit tricky in the evening. We came at 6:30 pm on a Monday night and got seated immediately. The restaurant has approximately 6 tables in the indoor seating area and a similar amount in the outdoor patio. Our server was efficient and friendly. The food is amazing: - Khao Soi with chicken drumsticks - Flavor was rich and deep, noodles were the right doneness, chicken was nearly fall off the bone tender. - Pad Thai beef was sublime. The chef nailed the challenging delicate balance between savory, sweet, sour, and spicy. There was perfect harmony between the flavor profiles which is a rare feat. This is my new go to Thai spot and I am excited to return and try the pad see ew and yellow curry. Highly recommend!
Decided to stop by for dinner here since they have dog friendly seating and I was with my pup. There are ~5 smaller tables located on their patio in front of this restaurant which makes for good people watching. Even though I was outside, service was still great. The servers took my order right away and checked on me often to refill my water etc. They also brought my dog some water and were friendly to him. I ordered the Khao Soi, which if you've never tried is a MUST if you have a hard time deciding between curry and noodles. Its basically a lighter curry soup with noodles and it hits the spot every time. It also included 3 hefty chicken drumsticks which is way more protein than I expected, and overall a a very hearty meal. I saw a few other things on their menu I'm interested in trying and I will definitely be back!

Not a bad Thai food spot, but definitely have had better. I do think the prices are cheaper compared to other Thai food places. However, I think you sacrifice cost with taste. I got the pork boat noodle and whatever noodle they used soaked up all the soup, which was kind of a bummer. Service was nice so I might just need to come back and give them another shot. read more
I cannot stand how great the food is here! This will melt your taste buds They nailed Thai food at Soi 30! From the outside this place looks small but like a transformer, there is more that meets the eye. The inside of the restaurant looks small but medium and one large group of patrons can fit in this restaurant. There is table service here and the service was great and there is an outside seating area. Some of the tastes of lunch included the fried chicken wings. Three words describe the chicken wings, DE-LI-CIOUS! If you are with a party of four, I recommend, ordering two orders of the chicken wings, we enjoyed the wings that much. The crowd favorite was chicken wings who took home the Gold medal for the taste, flavor and why we keep returning to this restaurant. I'm not discounting the Curry with rice, the Pad Thai or the Fried Rice. While everything was delicious, the flavor of the Chicken Wings and the Fried Rice stood out among the rest. If you were there, definitely deserving of all the praise. Well done to the chef! read more

Hello, i saw this on yelp and wow what an amazing meal. I had Kao Soi and an appetizer of crispy pork with spicy mayo (came in a small plastic cup and lid like taco sauce to go (it was weird) all I can say about the food was, it was amazing. The soup brought me back to thailand and the crispy pork, well it's crispy pork. I think the majority of their business is to go. Hence the plastic cup for the mayo. I'm giving it the highest rating.Excellent soup.I'm looking forward to going back and trying more. read more
Our go to Thai spot! My husband is part Thai and we have been to Thailand 3 times so we have high standards. This place is spot on! The flavors are bold, the spice can be adjusted, and everything is super fresh. We have been at least 12 times, it's our neighborhood go to for Thai food. The people who work there are always so nice and thoughtful. We either dine in or take out and the food is great both ways. Fun, relaxed spot on 30th street. It's fun to sit outside in the summertime since the area is bustling. Already craving it again and we just had it a week ago. The Penang curry is amazing with the crispy pork, khao soi is perfectly cooked, crab fried rice has a ton of flavor, and pad see ew with chicken is our go to. Also can't do wrong with their Tom kha, the coconut is perfect in it. I swear if you are hungover this spot will cure your heart or just want to sit outside and relaxed. Honestly will probably get it again this weekend!!! Fantastic spot!!! read more

Celebrated one of our dear friend's bday. There were 29 of us and we basically occupied the inside seating area. Service was great. Foods got to our table pretty fast. menu is made up of street food. Ordered the green, yellow, pumpkin red curry , larb Kai, lemon grass wings, Thai chicken wings. Foods ordered, everyone liked it . Excellent fried rice, ordered the crab and pineapple. If you have allergies to nuts, best to take extra step to check the dish brought in before taking the first bite. Ambiance : small eatery place. With friendly staff. Small outside patio seating area available as well. Price point: reasonable. Parking : street parking Take out order, chop sticks and utensils available. read more

A small casual Thai restaurant serving up some good food. We were seated right away and got our drinks and food in under ten minutes. We got pad see ew that was a flavorful and had lots of broccoli. I personally like a more rich dark soy sauce base, but this was still good. The Thai basil fried rice was also good, but I felt it lacked a bit on the basil. Overall a good spot to check out and support. read more

I ordered three appetizers: calamari, fried tofu, and pork belly; and two main dishes: basil fried rice and Pad See Ew. Everything was absolutely delicious. The pork belly and their main dishes are always my go-to choices whenever I come here. I live two hours away, but every time I'm in San Diego, despite having so many restaurant options, I still choose to come back to this place. The waitress and the service are always wonderful as well. I even forgot to take pictures of the main dishes because I was so hungry and they tasted so good! The thai tea is also boom. Highly recommend. read more
If anyone asked for recommendations for Thai food, I include Soi 30th in the list. Since their menu has so much variety, there's a chance to have a new experience each time but you can't go wrong with the classics like Pad See Ew or curry! Small shop but there's an outdoor patio that allows dogs! There's no dedicated parking lot for the restaurant so we had to circle around the residential area before finding some spots a block away. Because we had a larger group and a handicap dog in a stroller, the worker was kind enough to allow us to sit indoors (since the patio wasn't big enough) as long as the dog stayed in the stroller. Last time we visited, we did family style but it was kind of rough because everyone just got a bit of everything. Our group was too large and we should've ordered multiple of the same things. So this time, we all decided to just get our own food. Everything came out really fast, which is always much appreciated. Crispy Fried Pork Belly: Solid appetizer! You can't really go wrong with crispy pork belly and it's hard to mess it up. Each piece is bite-sized and, well, very crispy. I'm not really sure what they add to the creamy mayo sauce but it doesn't taste like regular mayo. Ribeye Beef Pad See Ew: I went a little fancier and chose the ribeye beef to go with my Pad See Ew. This is a classic Thai dish and honestly, a great comparator if you're trying to find the best Thai restaurant in San Diego. I really like Soi's because they did a great job with the wok hei flavor. And the ribeye was really tender. You can tell that they used good quality meat! Mango Sticky Rice: We weren't planning on getting dessert but the worker offered us a deal. Buy two and get one free so of course we said yes! I only took pictures of the one in front of me but he plated all three beautifully and differently. Most of the mangoes were sweet but found a couple that were a little more tart. The stick rice was really good though! I love the warm rice contrast with the cold, sweet mango. Really enjoyed our meal here and will be back to hopefully try new things! If you check-in on Yelp, you can get a free Thai tea but the offer is only good for the table, not each person. read more

Soi is a solid place for Thai. Ate here on a Thursday evening at around 8pm (an hour before they close). I enjoyed their Drunken Noodle! The only thing is I got double chicken, but I still don't think it was enough. We also got a Spicy Basil with tofu, and there also wasn't too much tofu. Apart from that, the dishes were really yummy and had great flavor. We got a papaya salad appetizer and LOVED it lots of great tang and flavor with additions of shrimp. For our entrees, I like the spice they used, I got a level 3 spice as I'm always cautious at Thai places since their spice levels are above what I can handle! Even though the meat amount left more to be desired, I did take home a good portion of noodle, which I enjoyed the next day. We also got a curry, which has good flavor! The employees were really nice, we were the last party and they gave us some mango and sticky rice along with our fried banana wraps that we ordered. That was a very kind gesture! read more

Disappointed! The young lady was super friendly & that was the best part, but the cooks messed up my order. I really wanted to like this place & it was my first time, but compared to the Thai food at other places in SD & in LA, I have to say I'm NOT a fan. They totally messed up my Pad Kee Mao. I only wanted ONLY the Thai Basil & Tofu. They put weird Green & Red Peppers & Onion (Peppers aren't even listed in the menu description, but she specifically asked over the phone & I said NO pepper, no onion, no garlic, b/c some places decide to add extra garlic if you ask to remove those other veggies, which I cannot tolerate b/c of Sulfur intolerance). Whatever is in sauces is usually sufficient flavor & I have a sensitive stomach as well. I know exactly how to modify my orders & it shouldn't ! be that hard to Keep certain items OUT of a dish. It was a lil too wet & too much soy sauce? I thought it'd be a bit more pan fried like Kai Kua noodle. I love Thai basil & that was my nain reason for getting this dish, so there was barely any basil & no taste of it at all on the noodles or sauce, b/c I got home abt an hr later & it just had the pepper/onion flavor? This just had a weird slightly salty & bitter taste & I just ate the tofu & I'm tossing the rest to the seagulls at NTC park later. The shrimp rolls were ok-shrimp was a lil dry, but edible. Tea was ok a lil odd-kinda lemony-hope the coconut milk isn't soured. I will prob NOT return. The inside was lively, loud & full of younger folks. I picked up b/c I'm not a fan of the loud NP social scene, but if you like that sports bar level volume, go for it. It seems good for extroverts The lighting outside is really too dark, so it feels almost like a hole in the wall. It should be better lit on the sidewalk & entry outside. read more
North Park has a great Thai Food scene and Soi on 30th is included in that list! A free Thai tea upon check in? Count me in :) So far, their noodle dishes are delicious. They have a solid Drunken noodle dish and I liked their Green Curry Noodle. The noodles were chewy and bouncy and the curry soup was creamy and I loved the flavor of the basil and mustard greens. Their papaya salad was vibrant, but could use something else as it was more of a pickled taste. I also didn't prefer their choice of beef for the proteins as I found it a bit tough and dry, so I would choose a different protein unless you are looking for something really lean. I would highly consider coming back and trying some more options, plus the free Thai tea is enticing incentive enough. read more

Had this place bookmarked for the longest time and finally got to check it out recently! Came on a Saturday for early dinner and it wasn't too busy. Service was quick and friendly. KHAO SOI: Been on the hunt for some good khao soi recently since not all Thai restaurants around here seem to offer it. Soi 30th was one of the places that was recommended to me, so of course I had to order this when we came here. Theirs comes with 2 large chicken legs and a knife to scrape all that meat off with. Tasty soup and plenty of crispy wontons on top! THAI CRISPY CHICKEN WINGS: Crispy but didn't really stand out to me flavor-wise. Came with 5 pieces as well as some sweet and sour sauce on the side that you can drizzle on top. MANGO STICKY RICE: I'm not big on desserts but mango sticky rice is something I have a hard time saying no to. Theirs had the perfect consistency and sweetness and I was scraping the plate by the end! We ordered 3 of them for our table, and one of them was beautifully presented with the mango slices arranged into a rose. Tried my friend's Panang Curry as well and it was delicious! Overall, solid choice if you're craving Thai food. Located in North Park so parking can be a hit or miss depending when you come. Check in on Yelp for a free Thai Iced Tea, but only one per group. read more

Very small place and you have to order at the counter, which I wasn't aware of at first. The staff weren't very friendly and acted annoyed while I was asking questions about the beers/ciders they have. I didn't enjoy my cider at all, Red Skies at Night, as it was supposed to be tart and it was incredibly sweet. As for food, the Shrimp Wrap was absolutely amazing as an appetizer! Very crunchy and unique. I would come back just to eat that again. The Wonton soup was disappointing and lacked any flavor whatsoever. By far some of the worst wontons I've ever had. The last thing I tried was the Crab Fried Rice. This was okay. The flavors get muffled together so you can't really taste the crab anyways. Honestly, I would come back for the Shrimp Wraps and that's really it. The staff needs to work on their attitude for sure. read more

Tried calling in on Saturday 03/15/25 around 2-3PM...phone isn't working?
Odd, They are pretty good with answering calls. Perhaps they got very busy? The place takes telephone orders for pick up.
Is this place Pet friendly?
We have a patio outside that we allow pets to hangout in, with water bowls provided for them.
Do they have drunken noodles?
Yes they do! And it's amazing! It's called Pad Kee Mao on their menu.
