Super cute Thai restaurant with great service and yummy food. It's in the same shopping center as the Rancho Bernardo Sprouts. Plenty of parking. Met a friend for lunch and we enjoyed our meal, the server was very friendly and patient. We both ordered their pad thai lunch special and it came with salad, an egg roll and gyoza. They customize the spice level so if you like it spicy they got you. The salad dressing was very delicious and their eg roll was very crunchy. We also tried their mango tea and it was so refreshing. Will definitely be back to try their other food options. We stayed back catching up and they never asked us to leave or anything. Perfect place to have lunch and work remotely w/your hot spot. read more

We came here quickly after a medical appt and was so surprised. Their lunch special was very delicious and portion size very good. When i asked for vegtables in my pad Thai they didn't just add a couple more vegtables like so many other places. They added vegtables!! Squash, tender broccoli stocks. Cute place very comfortable! read more

This place exceeded our expectations! Even though it was extremely busy with only one open table, the staff never missed a beat. They stayed friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone was taken care of despite the crowd. The food was outstanding. My wife and kids prefer mild flavors, while I like my food with some serious heat, and the chef absolutely nailed every dish. The flavors were excellent, and the spice level was exactly what each of us wanted. The portions were surprisingly generous, especially for the price. It's refreshing to find a restaurant that serves high-quality food without cutting corners on quantity. Excellent service, delicious food, generous portions, and great value. We can't wait to come back and highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

New Thai food place serving curry and noodles in Rancho Bernardo. The decor is nice and the service is good, but some small things here and there regarding the food that kept it from being a 5 star experience for me. Overall a perfectly decent place to grab Thai food. APPETIZERS: Chicken satay - Lightly breaded unlike other places, gave it a fried fishcake like texture which wasn't what I was looking for in chicken satay. The peanut sauce was also a bit too salty for my liking. Fried tofu - Crispy, with a light and sweet sauce. Well done. Curry puff - A much sweeter, drier, and potato heavy curry. Very akin to a samosa. The flavor was pretty mild, but the skin was nice and flaky. Nothing to write home about. ENTREES: Chicken pad thai - Well sauced and flavorful, though I wish it came with more bean sprouts. They also give you only a spoon for serving which makes mixing and scooping difficult. Noodles are on the firmer side. Panang curry - Too salty for my taste and a little fish sauce forward. Comes with a small portion of white rice that feels definitely too small for the amount of curry. read more

This Thai restaurant was solid! Right when I walked in I was greeted warmly by the waiters and ushered to a booth. The interior was very modern, bright, and clean. I ordered the Khao Soi with steak and my wife ordered the pad Thai with shrimp. I was pleasantly surprised the steak was moist and medium rare! I've had a challenging time finding Khao Soi with consistently good steak. My wife's Pad Thai was solid but not spectacular. Service was really friendly and attentive and they even boxed up our leftover food for us which was a really nice touch! By 8:30 pm when we left, the restaurant had cleared out for an upcoming 9:00 pm close which was in line with expectations for a sleepy RB evening. read more

It has become a regular weekly local favorite. Food is authentically Thai and delicious. Service efficient and friendly

Came by here for some dinner cause I didn't realize this restaurant had opened near my house. I ended up ordering a hot basil chicken dish with rice and my partner got the creamy tom yum. We also shared a papaya salad together. The papaya salad was probably the best dish we had as the sauce paired great with the papaya strips. As for the hot basil dish it was seasoned well and the sauce used paired well with the chicken pieces and vegetables included. On the other hand for the creamy tom yum soup it just felt like a more mild tom yum soup (less tamarind forward). Didn't wait very long for the food to come out and service was very friendly. The interior of the store was also decorated very nicely. All in all, it's a solid Thai restaurant that I would be happy to revisit! read more

I saw there was a new Thai restaurant next to Sprouts in the Rancho Bernardo complex and decided to try it out. Overall, we had a positive experience. The ambiance is modern and clean with several tables and booths inside. The menu includes a variety of options including soups, noodles, rice dishes, and appetizers. Their prices are comparable to other Thai places nearby with most entrees between $14-20. The servers were friendly and professional. Our food came out within minutes and was fresh and hot. What could make this place 5 stars? If the chef slightly tones down the salt...the noodles were a bit salty to taste. Also if they add a lunch menu! read more

Was really excited to try a new Thai restaurant! Unfortunately this was a huge miss for me. The drunken noodles (pad kee mao) was too sweet and lacked flavor. I ended up not being able to eat it. They use strong cleaning supplies so as soon as I walked in, it smelled like it. I thought the decor was nice though read more

Opened around January 2026, this new, family-run restaurant features owners White and Kenny serving up light and fresh, fast-casual Thai dishes in North San Diego. THE FOOD Impressively, the owners ensured that every dish came out piping hot from the kitchen. * Chicken Satay: Fresh, juicy, and served with crisp veggies and flavorful sauces. They did a really nice job on the cooking. * Ginger Fish (Swai): Topped with fresh ginger and cilantro to brighten the dish. This has a calmer, light-to-medium flavor profile, so I highly recommend enjoying it before diving into any of the heartier curries or dishes with robust flavors. * Red Curry with Shrimp: Rich and balanced without being too sweet, and the vegetables were cooked nicely. We ordered a 4-star spice level, but next time I will venture to the 6-7 level for an even more robust kick. THE SERVICE White and Kenny showed great enthusiasm throughout the meal. They were constantly moving around, checking on tables, and eagerly sharing their knowledge and love for food and hospitality. OVERALL A pleasant family eatery serving fresh food with excellent, family-friendly service. Wishing them the best on their restaurant journey! read more

After living in Bangkok for 5 years, this feels like real authentic Thai food (slightly less spicy) a great way to enjoy some dietary variation. Service was spot on and fast. Will visit again, when in the area. read more

The food is excellent, reasonably priced, and offers outstanding value. Every dish comes with a generous portion of chicken, seafood, or beef. This is our second visit in just one week, which says it all. Highly recommended! read more

We had lunch there recently and the food and service were both excellent. The lunch special with a choice of several different dishes was a great value. I had the red curry and my wife the Penang, with rice, an egg roll and a potsticker. The spice was on point for both. I like spice so a level 5 was perfect - not too hot but had a nice kick. read more

Looks like this place just opened up near us, so we tried take out from here. I feel pretty confident we'll be regulars now! We got the red curry, drunken noodles (must try), and papaya salad. Love them all, especially the drunken noodles and papaya salad. The spice level is quite accurate, so tread carefully if you get 8-10. Our food was ready in 15-20 mins from when I ordered online. Friendly service when we picked up, restaurant looked nice for sit down too. And our food was piping hot when we ate it at home. Apologies the picture was taken after we started eating, we were too eager. We'll be seeing you again :) read more

Everything here was phenomenal. We saw this place had just opened so popped in on a whim to give it a try for dinner. The service was quick, hot and delicious. We stopped here after a day at Glen Coco Hot Springs and were ready to pig out. We ordered the chicken satay, fresh spring rolls, and gyoza to start. We ordered classic Thai teas for our beverage and those did not disappoint either. The veggies in the spring rolls were so crisp, the steamed gyoza was flavorful, and the chicken satay was extremely juicy. The star of the show, hands down, was the peanut sauce that everything came with. I usually don't care for peanut sauce but there was something about this one where the peanuts weren't overpowering and it had a nice sweetness to eat. We both also ordered the drunken noodles with chickens and got spice level 6. It was definitely on the spicier side but everything was hot and yummy upon arrival. My friend also got the mango sticky rice for dessert. I personally am not a fan because of the texture but she really enjoyed it! read more

Both entrees we ordered, green curry and pad see u were good, full of authentic Thai flavors and spices. A bowl of tom yum soup was also yummy. Place was packed with dine-in customers, and take out crowd was a pretty decent size. Must've also had a few catering orders as well. It took a long time for us to get served but was understandable for there were only two waitstaffs. Customer service was sweet, friendly and apologetic. Enjoyed the food and friendly service! Will come back when it's not too crowded. read more

A Wonderful Surprise - Best Drunken Noodles Ever in RB! Wow, what a pleasant surprise to discover Spoon Thai Kitchen right on the RB/Poway border! As someone who's picky about Thai food (especially drunken noodles), this new spot has instantly become my absolute favorite. The staff was incredibly attentive, and the service was lightning fast - my food arrived at the table in under 10 minutes. I ordered the drunken noodles with chicken, extra vegetables, and spice level 4. It was hands down one of the best drunken noodles I've ever had! The ingredients tasted so fresh and farm-to-table vibrant, with wide rice noodles perfectly cooked, flavorful sauce that delivered the good kind of spicy (bold flavor without just burning your mouth), and veggies that were still crispy - exactly how I love them, not overcooked at all. I probably could've handled level 6 next time, but 4 was spot on for a great heat. Paired it with their Thai tea, which tasted freshly made with the perfect sweetness - no overly sugary syrup here. I left so happy! If you're in Rancho Bernardo or nearby, do yourself a favor and try this gem. It's exactly what the area needed - fresh, delicious Thai done right. Can't wait to go back and make this my regular spot! read more

This place used to be an Indian restaurant that I liked. When my friend made reservations for her birthday dinner here I didn't realize till I got here that the Indian restaurant didn't last. Bummer. Hopefully they just moved to a different location. Upon arriving till the time we left the servers were wonderful. Very attentive and kind to all of us ladies. It was nicely decorated and the reservation spot ready and very tidy for our arrival. What was lacking for me was the food. Way too salty unfortunately. I only had half of a kabob/skewer and couldn't eat anymore. I also had a weird aftertaste from the orange chicken. That didn't have a real orange essence flavor to me. I only had three pieces and didn't even want the third piece that I put on my plate but I needed to eat something. Maybe I'll give them a try some other time. My friend did inform them that several of us felt the same way on the saltiness and flavoring being off. I hope it improves and that they can last at this location. read more

Fast service and super kind employees -- everyone was really welcoming from the start. The place is very cutely decorated and has a cozy vibe. It is on the smaller side though, so I can see it being a little harder to seat a bigger party. The crab fried rice was SO good -- everyone at my table kept sneaking spoonfuls from my plate. And the mango sticky rice tasted freshly made and was actually softer than most sticky rice I've had before. Would definitely come back! read more

This new restaurant is located in the same lot as Sprouts. Took over Himalayan. It's very new, if I'm not wrong, it just opened early December. I was excited to try a new restaurant that's near me. Saturday we ordered online and got it delivered. Delivery came promptly. We were notified along the way the progress of our delivery. So that was great. The menu is not Thai. It's a little of everything. Gyoza (Japanese/Chinese), Cream Cheese (ABC), Fresh Spring Roll (Vietnamese), Edamame, tempura, just to name a few. If you're looking for typical Thai dishes, this is not the place. Because it's new, we wanted to try it anyway. This restaurant caters to the local palate - Sugar is key. We ordered the Green Curry - The curry was sweet... just way too much sugar. The colour was pandan food coloring. The ingredients were ok. The chicken was dry, there was bamboo shoots, the eggplant used was not the Thai green eggplant. Very disappointing. The Khao Soi - another sweet curry-like noodle dish. Very disappointing again. I understand that Thai dishes use sugar but this is way too much - because the American palate loves sugar. The Gyoza - bought frozen and deep fried. It was ok. At least it's not sugar sweet. Tom Yam Goong - What came was Gai, we let it slide. Nothing memorable except could do with less sugar. Ginger Fish - Decent. It was simple, clear broth and the fish was done well. Curry puff - 2 per order. We ordered 2 of those. Everyone thought it was good and a few think that this is ordered from a lady that supplies curry puffs to Thai restaurants. Therefore no complains there. This might be a very honest and blunt review but in the hopes that they do better. Provide food that is more Thai, not neither here nor there. It's a Thai restaurant for crying out loud. If we want crab rangoon, there are loads of ABC Chinese places that provide that. Same for Japanese restaurants for Edamame. read more

My wife and I dined in here a couple of weeks ago and the food was good. Tonight we ordered to go and the chicken pad Thai was a tasteless mass of noodles without much else. With this level of inconsistent quality I'm not sure that we will try them a third time. We're very disappointed, because we thought that we had found a new go to place for Thai food in RB. read more

All the food was excellent!! Definitely 10 out of 10!!!! The restaurant just opened a few weeks ago and we'll definitely be back it was so good! The service was great too! If you're in Rancho Bernardoi it's the place to go! We live in San Marcos but it's so worth the drive!! read more

I tried this place for the first time tonight. I ordered tom yum chicken soup. The broth was very sweet and tasted only of very sweet fish sauce. There was no lemongrass or galangal or the normal spices in there. The chicken was overcooked and in very large pieces too for soup . This place seems to have good reviews so maybe we will try other dishes and stay away from the Tom Yum soup. read more

Delicious food in large portions. Absolutely scrumptious and the service is top notch. I could not be more pleased!

We got take out, but everything was delicious! We ordered crab fried rice, yellow curry, and fried tofu. The sauce with the fried tofu was absolutely delicious! A must order! Crab fried rice was delicious as well, just a little too garlicky for my own taste, but otherwise pretty much exactly what I wanted. Yellow curry also great, very creamy but chicken was a little dry. Will definitely come back again to reorder again and try other items on menu! read more

I stopped in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the food. There are pictures of the food on the menu and my first thought was that nothing looked really appetizing. However, whereas the presentation may be a little lacking, the flavor and the cookery of all the proteins in the food were fantastic. I had fresh spring rolls with shrimp, chicken satay, and pad se ew with chicken. The fresh spring rolls had great flavor and texture and the peanut sauce served with it was warm and delicious. The chicken satay skewers were a flavor bomb and the chicken was cooked perfectly. The pad se ew was also a winner. The noodles tasted great. The only small criticism I had was that I wished the noodles had a little more basil leaves. All in all, the food and the service was 5 stars and I will definitely be back to try more things. read more

We just tried this place tonight. Super friendly staff and really good food! Will definitely be going back soon.
