    Yellow Curry

    I ordered the value yellow curry meal. The vegetable rolls were ice cold on the inside the first time they were served to me. The carrots and potatoes in the curry were not cooked they were rock hard. I'm guessing the raw vegetables were added at the last minute. I'm glad I got the value portion because I was disappointed. The server was nice

    Tasty and Affordable and with reasonable ambiance around this area. Just little confuse ordering from dining.

    Tom Kah Soup Pineapple Fried Rice Crying Tiger
    Jasmine T.

    Came across this spot from Yelp & decided to try it for dinner (dine in). Their service is so good. The food came out so quickly for a party of 3. We had ordered: Crying Tiger, Tom Kha & Pineapple Fried Rice It hit the spot! They definitely don't skimp out on the protein & veggies & prices were fair. They have a few tables inside for dine in. Parking is all street parking.

    literally SO GOOD!! i got tom yum soup, pad thai, and basil fried rise!! all of the food was genuinely incredible. i got medium spice which was wayyy too spicy and i usually can handle spice, but that's okay!!

    There's a parking lot! No, it's not in the laundry place lol

    Teeny tiny place in OB, I haven't been here in a few years. We were in the area so I thought we'd pick up something for dinner. I couldn't recall not liking it... it's been that long. We ordered the following items - Fried pork belly appetizer- this was almost inedible. It was overcooked and very chewy. We didn't finish this. - Pad Thai with chicken - I usually like pad Thai, but the noodles were very gummy. It was not pleasant trying to eat this. - Thai basil fried rice with chicken - simple, nothing crazy, it was very plain tasting. The chicken throughout the dishes were very dry and overcooked. - Thai tea - I like this, but that was it. Sadly I didn't recall my previous experience eating here before our last visit and save myself a bad meal. :( Not going to forget this time! Staff was nice tho. Maybe the kitchen was having an off night. Maybe I'll try again in a few years. 2025: 18

    Neon green curry? What the heck is that? I never had green curry dyed the chicken meat like that? On top of that they gave me maybe 3 pieces of chicken for $17.. never again. Stick to zab Linda if you want authentic Thai.

    Mango Curry, papaya salad and Khao Soi Soup
    Cheryl G.

    This little hole-in-the-wall wasn't even on my radar until I found it on Yelp. Quite tasty! The woman at the counter who greeted us was very friendly and happy to make suggestions. She was also cute, she offered me a little chopstick napkin apparatus that would make it easier for me to eat with chopsticks, but I don't need that. I still appreciated the gesture! We got the papaya salad, Mango Curry and Khao Soi Soup. Everything was delicious, although I found the mango curry to be a little on the watery side. My favorite item was the Khao Soi soup. It was full of veggies and I liked the contrast of texture between the noodles in the soup and the crunchy noodles on top of the soup. We went for the mock duck because I thought it would be easier to eat that than a chicken leg in the soup. I also really enjoyed the papaya salad and thought it was a fun bonus that it came with two juicy shrimp.

    Green Curry

    Pretty solid Thai that is friendly and welcoming. You order at the counter and pay right away and your order would be delivered to you to your table. Menu was pretty mainstream Thai with few addition of street food. Prices were very reasonable and the ambiance was cozy and comfortable. I ordered green curry with beef, it was good and will come back to try the other things next time.

    It's hard to drive past this place without having the urge to get some Pad Thai. Order at the register and they bring the food out to you. Relaxed, chill inside and outside seating.

    Yellow Curry
    Emily D.

    Love this spot so much! It's got a warm, chill vibe, and the food slaps! We got the yellow curry with chicken on the lunch special and a side of egg rolls. The food came out so quickly and it was incredible. The curry was such a great flavor, and the eggrolls were fried to perfection. The service was great. Very warm, welcoming and attentive!!! We didn't get them this time, but 10/10 recommend the mango sticky rice and crab wontons.

    First time and already a fan. The inside was super clean. The staff was very nice and polite. You place your order at the counter and grab a seat. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The food came out quick and fast. The food was super flavorful and fresh. We got the panang curry with beef. Love the spicy no joke it's pretty spicy. We shared the Pad Kee Mao Roasted Pork, they definitely did not skimp on the roasted pork. Both the dishes we had were very tasty. Thank you Soi OB for a delicious first time. I can't wait to come back and try something else on the menu.

    Pork Boat Noodle Soup
    Susan C.

    I ordered delivery through Uber Eats here so I didn't get to see what the ambience or service was like, but the food here was spectacular. Arguably lifechanging. We ordered the Pork Boat Noodle Soup, the Pad Thai, and the Crying Tiger. Pork Boat Noodle Soup is a must order! Such a savory flavorful broth with thin rice noodles, braised pork, and pork meatballs. Veggies included Chinese broccoli, bean sprouts, and green onion. The first sip of the broth was absolutely heavenly. Pad Thai was also delicious! Delightfully bouncy noodles and great flavor. The noodles held well over the course of the delivery. The Crying Tiger was the steak with rice and tamarind hot sauce to dip. So good. The sauce was really a game changer and complemented the steak so well. This is a must-go to Thai spot in San Diego, and I'll definitely have to make another stop here the next time I visit SD.

    THAI FOOD FROM THAILAND...and Thai people (5 stars + meteor shower + SpaceX starlinks) Have you ever been to OB, Thailand? Me neither until recently. When the food is THAT good it makes you feel like you been teleported from OB to Bangkok/Chiangmai/Sakhon/Phuket/Krab on every single bite. Took me 7+ years to find my favorite Thai restaurant in San Diego and it's in OB (not in Convoy area). Soi OB is next to a laundry mat in the heart of Ocean Beach. This place is the truth. It's also the sister to SoI 30 but the better sister. - FOOD: F-A-N.tastic - PRICE: affordable and fair - SERVICE: sweet owner - AMBIANCE: cute and simple humble shop :: FOOD:: Had to test run the food with the go-to's and was not disappointment! Cooked per order, fresh tasting, clean. I left feeling full but not heavy afterwards. BEEF JERKY ($12.95) - fried beef jerky served with their house tamarind hot sauce. I never had a bad beef jerky at a Thai resultant but their version has meatier stripes than others. Nearly the same flavor but the portion was very generous. It comes with a side of sticky rice and their house tamarind hot sauce... hot is an understanding! HIGHLY RECOMMEND PAD THAI ($14.95) - rice vermicelli noodles stir fried in tamarind sauce, with egg, bean sprouts, green onion, crushed peanuts, cilantro, and a wedge of lime. I ordered this with tofu because I wanted protein but I wanted a protein that didn't add flavor to the dish so I could throughly taste their execution. OK! This was one of the best Phad Thai's I've had in SD/SoCal. It was perfect! Portion to price, ratio of ingredients, and the balance of flavor. It didn't have that overkill tamarind sauce nor flavor or any taste of fish sauce. Every ingredient folded in so well and complimented each other. It was clean tasting - you'll know what I mean. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Shame on me... I didn't leave room for dessert. That is very unlike me but will make up for it next time. :: SERVICE :: Order food, pay at the front, and seat yourself. The menu has some dishes I don't often see at other Thai restaurants. The owner and chef are from Thailand - everything about this place is authentic! The owner was so sweet and she ran the front and gave me tips since I couldn't make up my mind if I should try what I know or something new. There is a lady in the back doing all the cooking per order (if that be here orders or to-go orders). Small businesses have love and support. Show this place some love and tip generously. I'm about to be a regular and you know me I will eat the entire menu if I need to. I already know my next order and can't wait to come back. JABA APPROVED. Until the next bite.

    I don't usually leave reviews, but I wanted to share my experience dining here with my family…read more The evening started off great. The staff was friendly when we arrived, we were seated quickly, received our drinks promptly, and our food came out fast. The music was enjoyable, the ambiance was nice, and the restaurant had a modern, welcoming feel. Most importantly, the food was excellent. Everything we ordered was delicious, and my kids couldn't stop talking about the crispy pork belly. Honestly, the food itself was 5-star quality. The issue was what happened as the restaurant approached closing time. About 10-15 minutes after we started eating, a staff member brought our check and asked us to pay even though we were still waiting on two mango sticky rice desserts that had not yet been served. I politely explained that we hadn't received all of our food yet, so it didn't make sense to close out the bill. The desserts were brought out shortly afterward. A different employee then returned and again asked us to close out the check, assuring us that we could continue eating while they finished closing. Although I was hesitant, I paid and explained that I would leave a cash tip after we finished since we were still dining. Unfortunately, from that point on, the service noticeably changed. No one checked on our table, our water glasses were never refilled, and the staff seemed focused on cleaning around us. The booth behind us was being cleaned very loudly while we were still trying to enjoy our meal. It made us feel rushed and unwelcome, and honestly took away from an otherwise great dinner. When I asked for containers for our leftovers, the interaction felt cold and standoffish compared to the friendly service we received earlier in the evening. My suggestion would be that if the restaurant is close to closing and doesn't want guests dining in, they should clearly communicate that and switch to takeout only. The food was genuinely delicious, and I would come back again--but not near closing time. Great food, disappointing end to the evening.

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.

When we ordered, our server took the time to explain their spice scale (1-5), letting us know that a 1 is already about a medium spice level. We settled on mostly 2-3, but wow--the Thum Khao Poon (shredded green papaya salad) still packed some serious heat! Even my spice-loving kids were challenged. The server also gave us a heads-up that it's very fish-forward in flavor, which we appreciated and happened to love. The absolute standout of the meal was the Nam Khao Tod. It was hands down the family favorite--crispy coconut rice with pork sausage, crunchy peanuts, fresh herbs, and so many incredible textures and flavors in every bite. We could have ordered a second plate! We also had the Drunken Noodles with chicken, which were slightly oily in the best possible way, making them extra rich and delicious. The Chef's Special Basil Stir Fry with Crispy Pork was another winner.
