    Pad See Ew with beef and extra broccoli ;)
    Erica C.

    On this chilly Oct day I was craving Thai food. So I searched for what was closest to me and this place was it. Although they had none of what I had in mind to order. I decided I was still going try it out and order something. That something was Tom Yum soup with chicken and pad-see-ew noodles with beef. I asked for extra broccoli in the noodles too. I came to pick up my food and discovered it's take out only. Which is what I was doing anyway so I thought how perfect. I got home and was surprised at the big portion of noodles. The soup I'm not sure of the size I received because I ordered a small but they charged me for a large. Which I didn't realize till I had already left. So I have no idea if what I got was the small or their large size. ok back to the food, it was absolutely delicious!!!! My plan was to have leftovers for tmrw but that almost didn't happen! The soup was delicious and had so much flavor, the lemongrass and all the veggies except for the tomato lol does Tom Yum usually have tomato? Idk but it was good despite the tomato. But definitely order the noodles, even though I prefer the broccolini which pad-see-ew is usually made with I didn't mind the regular broccoli, it also had a lot of beef and the portion was huge and ohhh sooo much flavor, I will be ordering that again!

    Still highly recommend this place! Maybe it's just my memory but the portion size seemed larger this time :)

    Pad Thai with tofu

    The best pad Thai in East Chula Vista. The service is fast and the owner is very nice. I had the pad Thai with tofu and the combination of flavors was excellent. The pasta was well done, the ground peanuts and lemon gave it a great flavor contrast I totally recommend this local business

    Dry, tough chicken

    Had the pad Thai. It was Just okay. The chicken was gross, dry and incredibly tough. I didn't eat anymore of it.

    This is a cute little shop in a shopping plaza right across Costco. I ordered their Thai tea and a small Tom yum soup with shrimp. It was about 13 bucks so not bad. The soup came with three shrimps so if you want extra just ask. You do have to ask for condiments even when ordering online they won't automatically give it to you. They have two patio tables outside where you can eat with shade. I visited on a Tuesday afternoon even tho yelp said it was closed. So I'd call and verify.

    The food is quite delicious! The staff is also quite nice and helpful. They made a mistake on our dish and they let us just keep it! What?? We love panang curry and pad see ew so we got one of each no spice and mild. Even "no spice" was spicy so the kids had a LOT of rice with it. Just beware there's no air conditioning!

    Disgusting! Not something you want to see in your yellow curry when you already ate half of it... will never order from here again.

    I had the Pad Thai - it was okay. Based on my one visit I'd say the place might be overrated.

    This review is based solely on the customer service, not the food…read more I called in my order over the phone without any issues. However, when I arrived to pay, the older gentleman at the counter informed me that they only accepted cash. It would have been helpful if that had been mentioned during the phone call so I could have come prepared. He told me to use the ATM next door, but I wasn't comfortable using a random ATM, so I checked my car to see if I had enough cash. Unfortunately, I didn't. When I returned to let him know, he suddenly pointed to the Apple Pay terminal, indicating that electronic payment was actually an option. As I attempted to pay, he repeatedly asked whether I wanted to leave an 18%, 20%, or 25% tip. I politely declined, but instead of processing the payment, he continued to pressure me, even offering me a free soda if I left a 25% tip on my $45 order. After repeatedly saying no and realizing he wasn't going to respect my answer, I walked out. I don't appreciate feeling pressured or manipulated into leaving a tip, especially when I was simply trying to pay for my order. The entire interaction left a very negative impression.

The boy loved his chicken satay sticks we ordered a side of jasmine rice for him to go with his chicken. If you spend 40 dollars or more you get a free Thai iced tea. It was watered down but that's okay, it was free. We also ordered the lemon grass chicken that was good. This was one of those stops from rosarito to home better than a fast food joint.

    Some of the best Thai food I've ever had. This place is very small with only a few outside tables…read more Our order took up to 45 mins to arrive. We ordered around 8pm on a Saturday night. Worth the wait. Thankfully we were able to snag an outside table for our party of 5 ppl. The flavor of my fishes were top tier. Definitely recommend this place. Portions are large.

For 3 people we ordered the Crispy…read moreFried Calamari, Pad See Ew with Duck, Yellow Curry with Shrimp, the Crab Fried Rice, and a side of White Rice. This was definitely enough food for all of us with some leftovers to go. We all thought the Crab Fried Rice was the star, definitely very flavorful and the dish that stood out for us. There was actually a lot of crab in it which was great! We had asked for all dishes to be mild because one of my friends has a sensitive stomach, but I think the peppers in the Pad See Ew were actual spicy peppers and not just green bell peppers so that dish still had a kick to it. Overall delicious meal, my only gripe is that they packaged everything to go even though we said we were eating there, so with the small tables it was hard to find enough space for all of our food/tops and such. I guess that's an easy way for us to pack the leftover food to go though, so I understand why they do that. I did see that they're renovating a couple doors down and it looks like there's going to be actual dine-in seating!! It looked super IG friendly so I'm excited to visit when their bigger location opens!
