    Lunch special: chicken pad see ew
    Jane R.

    Delicious. Friendly staff. Beautiful location. This place hits all the mark of a good place. We went for their lunch special and it's the perfect amount! Their plate is so flavorful and the staff are both so friendly. We'll be going back here again to try their other dishes!

    Cute place. Employees are nice. Food is not Quality enough for a Date Night. I'd call it Thursday Night Thai. Pros: Food is aesthetic. Looks pretty and fresh. Vegetables in Spring Rolls are fresh. Lots of noodles in the Khao Soi. Cons: Shrimp in Spring Rolls is Farm Raised, no flavor and hard. Even at Spice level 1, Khao Soi was Spicy and Chicken was tough. I even inquired if the chicken was tender prior to ordering. No real reason to return. So many better Thai restaurants. Sad. I had just left the Salon, felt pretty and it was a treat for my bf to take me out.

    Lunch menu from 11am- 3 pm

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Thai-rific from the first bite! @spoonthaikitchen Thai just opened in Rancho Bernardo and everything we ordered was so good -- creamy Thai tea, tom yum soup, chicken satay, crying tiger, and pad see yu, was absolutely delicious. A must-try new spot! The staff is soo friendly and love the atmosphere.

    Hot basil w/ chicken
    Eugene C.

    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!

    Spring roll

    The food was delicious. Spring rolls were refreshingly crunchy and the peanut sauce was a little sweet with a little spice. One of the best peanut sauces I have had. The red curry with chicken was flavorful and we enjoyed the salmon with vegetables. The vegetable were nicely stir fried and had some crunch still with a delicious sauce. The mango ice tea had fresh mango chunks. Service was quick and friendly. I would come back there again.

    Papaya salad, drunken noodles with tofu, red curry with tofu
    Vivian L.

    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 :)

    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!

    We love this place! The food is fantastic and a hidden gem. The wait staff attentive and I am especially fond of the curry dishes.

    Large quantity of food

    Awesome food, very friendly service and the service is very quick! It is one of the best decorated restaurants that I have been to! Everyone should try this place!

I opted to order by QR code to get my order in faster. My boyfriend and I both got biang biang mian but he got the version with cumin lamb. The portions are large and super filling. I honestly think one bowl is two meals worth of food at least. The noodles were chewy and bouncy. I love the flavor just make sure to properly mix the noodles - all of the good stuff sits at the bottom of the bowl! The chili oil is fantastic as well and I loved the spice level of these dishes. Service was pretty quick which was nice. I am excited to come again to try the other dishes! Highly recommend and was authentic - it can be hard to find authentic and delicious Chinese food in SD County.

Personally I liked the sauce and flavor for the Mapo Tofu more than the BiangBiang noodles. The mapo tofu sauce was more tangy. The beef brisket was very tender. The BiangBiang noodles are very long, but I love the texture of the noodles. Spice level was low. As someone who is weak to spice, I was able to handle it and needed to add extra chili oil in. For a sunday night dinner, wait was about 20-30 minutes. Service is standard. It was not very crowded and a good spot to get dinner. I would come back and order the Mapo Tofu again out of everything that I had there.

    I came in person recently with 9 friends. They were able to accommodate us even though we were just…read morewalking in. The woman was super friendly even though it was a little chaotic. At first, she said the order only could be done on 1 bill. And then later she compromised with 2 bills, 5 people per table. That was nice of her! I just had 2 coffees before entering so I decided to skip ordering Thai tea. But they had a large drink menu, of fruit teas and more. My friend had the lychee tea which was very large and looked super refreshing! They also came by often to top off our waters which was nice. To eat, I ordered the $16.99~, Cashew Chicken Stir Fry with White Rice. It came with onion, green onion, carrots, zucchini, bell pepper, and cashews. The carrots were beautifully cut, but a little too crunchy for me to properly enjoy in the stir fry. Everything else was delicious! I think this could definitely be shared between 2-3 people. It was a lot for me, even after a large hike. The sauce was flavorful and not overly salty. I didn't ask for any spice level, but I think I'd choose mild or medium next time. My friends ordered-- - $12.99, Dirty Fried Chicken: This had a blitz coating of lime, mint, and spices. And it was decorated with thinly sliced green onions with a side of sweet chili sauce. The chicken was hot and plump, not dry, and very much mouthwatering! Would recommend. - $14.99, Thai Grilled Chicken Salad: Grilled Chicken Breast on a bed of mixed green salad, carrots, and cucumbers with peanut dressing. It reminded me a little of chicken satay~ it smelled and looked incredible. I think I might order it next time, when I want something light and fulfilling after a hike. - $11.99, Cream Cheese Avocado Wontons (6PC): These came out piping hot and when you took a bite they were oozing. It was very creamy and when you dip into the plum sauce it's a delectable bite. A nice appetizer to share with the table. - $16.99-$19.99 (depends on what protein you get), Pad Thai: This proportion was manageable for one person. The restaurant used thin rice noodles, but it didn't clump excessively compared to other restaurants. The prices are what you'd typically see at a Pan-Asian restaurant, a few dollars more than what you'd want to spend. But these kinds of restaurants, in my opinion, are for enjoying with others. So, if you're sharing food and all that-- the price is worth it (esp with the quantity that is given). Next time, I would probably order one of their noodle dishes rather than rice. Oodles by the Noodbar has such a large and diverse menu so I would highly recommend coming in to try them out.

I'd get it again, but I do feel it has a more subtle flavor than the lychee version. The salad roll was good, but I did think they looked smaller than what you might typically expect. The one thing I did not care for was the dipping sauce. I believe the menu said it was a peanut sauce but I was personally not a fan. It tasted more like a coconut curry sauce. The place is always clean and usually not very loud. I recommend you stop by if you are in the area.
