    Thai Basil Fried Rice
    Lucky P.

    The Thai fried rice was pretty good, however not spicy at all for what we asked for. In general for a quick casual dinner I would recommend it though.

    Mango Sticky Rice, no sesame or peanuts due to allergies

    We saw a Thai restaurant right across our air bnb and we were excited, because we love our Thai food. They did not disappoint. The order: Green curry with beef. It was fabulous, tons of veggies, sweet, slightly spicy, curry sauce was on POINT! Pad Thai with chicken A sweet umami blast of flavor with a kick of fish sauce. Mango sticky rice. All I have to say is served son son. Turned around and it's GONE. Safe to say it's a hit haha. We did take out. The staff were friendly and personable d our food was ready. Would definitely come back again.

    Pad Thai
    Allison P.

    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. Walked in and the restaurant had a simple decor. 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
    Derek I.

    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!

    Pad Kee Mao
    Kathryn S.

    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

    Pineapple Fried Rice
    Kyra M.

    Great restaurant, very fast and very good food. The atmosphere is casual lots of families and small groups. 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.

    Cute neighborhood thai restaurant hidden in North Park. It may look like a hole in the wall, but don't be deceived. 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!

    Pork won ton
    Soo H.

    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.  Cute small spot with indoor and outdoor seating. 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. Upon walking into Soi 30th, I noticed some quirky wall decorations that reflected the Thai culture. 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. There was an equal amount of indoor seating and outside tables on the patio. 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.

    Mango sticky rice
    Arnold T.

    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. 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 .

    Pad Thai and Fried Pork Belly
    Karina D.

    (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. 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. 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.

    Pumpkin curry
    Curt T.

    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.

    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.

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 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.
