I read all these great reviews on yelp. This is not only the worst Thai food I ever had; it is one of the worst foods I had eaten in my life. Thai food is one of my favorite cuisines. I ordered seafood stir fry medium spicy. I waited for my food for 45 min, then I was given 2 mussels, 3 pieces of shrimp, deep fried breaded peace of fish and 2 pieces of imitation crab soaked in coconut milk. Food was very blunt, no flavor. Could not taste spice at all. I asked for browmn rice instead, I got very strange looking brown rice what costed me $2 extra. I paid for this meal $16.11 with taxes. I did not ordered any beverage. Place smelled like old sponge or dirty dishes. They do not change table cloth after customers are done with their meal. In my opinion, it is very unsanitary. I do not recommend this place at all. I will never go back to this place ever. read more

Never a bad meal here service is also great. Favorites dishes green curry, drunken noodles, and the fresh rolls

The food always tastes great and the service is amazing. They go out of their way to make the customer feel welcome and it really makes for a pleasant experience. read more

Definitely delicious cream cheese wontons!! This is one of my go to favorites, they are always reliably delicious. I especially like their Thai tea. Every time I go there they are all so nice and helpful!! Like incredibly extra nice and helpful... read more

Don't go! The male owner is nice, but his wife is rude and disrespectful. It is too bad that a place that makes good food will be off my menu. We arrived for the Buffet and the selection was very low, we asked the owner if more choices were coming which she replied oh yes, get a plate and it willl be out , so we decided to stay. Needless to say there were a total of 3 choices the entire time and that included the rice. We asked her about it and she started yelling making rude comments about not caring for the customers, She charged $9.99 a plate for a buffet that was not served. read more

Favorite Thai place I have ever been too. The people here work very hard and their food shows it. Everything I have had here is delicious, I crave the curry almost everyday. read more

The owners are extremely nice and make sure you're taken care of. Food is good and cheap.

Buffet between 11am and 2pm, best thai food in Vista. I had my thai favorites, pad Thai, chicken curry, thai fried rice, and crispy chicken. Everything was amazing. Highly recommend thai gardens, and I will for sure be back soon. read more

This is a great hole-in-the-wall restaurant. I have not tried a dish I did not like and they give you a large plate at an inexpensive price. The owner and staff work really hard to make you feel comfortable and enjoy the food. The red curry, pad Thai and pad Ki mao were delicious! read more

My boyfriend loves this place and will go to oceanside just to eat here. Their food is really good and I like that it is small and cozy.

I've been going here since I was a kid. Excellent Thai Cuisine and the boba is so fresh! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for good Thai food!!! read more

Family owned-very friendly staff. Service was slow and they forgot our beer. Food was decent but nothing too exciting.

This is one of the better Thai buffet at lunch that I've been to. Charming closed down, but this buffet is better than that was. Penang curry, yellow curry, phad Thai...and I don't even know if I'm spelling anything correctly. Spring rolls were good to. Excellent service. Buffet is Mon thru Fri, 11am to 2:30 I think. read more

Such a great lunch buffet. So much flavor and so much to choose from! For the price, they offer a good amount of different things that you may have not had before. Gives you the chance to break out from your normal thai order. The staff are very friendly and the food is always good. They have great pad kee mao, hot and sour soup, and yellow curry! Definetely a little gem. read more

Delicious food. Good service...waitstaff always speaks of Thailand, adds 2 my experience. I come here a couple times per month.

Got my regular the pad-see-ew and it was good. Not the best place I've ever been to, but definitely good. Been here a few times and since its close to work its always a good spot to go to when I'm craving thai for lunch. Boba tea is also a plus... read more

Stopped by for the first time to have lunch. I ordered the cream cheese wontons as an appetizer and beef pad see eww as my entree. The verdict? Both were scrumptiously delicious. Friendly staff and reasonably priced. read more

The food and service is excellent. Love the drunken noodles. The waiter is so nice and friendly.

I have been coming here for years. The staff is so friendly and the food is great. Get sticky rice with your food it is amazing!

Have not tried ordering the regular items but their lunch buffet special for $7.95 is fantastic and I always make a point to eat there when I'm in town. read more

Absolutely love this place. Very affordable and great food. The man who operates the front end is very nice and takes quality in his service to make sure you are taken care of.! My favorite was the yellow curry and vegetarian egg rolls. The food is very tasteful the only thing was it wasn't piping hot, but that's just me, I felt it was a little cold. Otherwise, great place and I'm all for supporting mom and pop businesses. read more

Pretty decent Thai restaurant with great prices and friendly owners and staff there to greet you. Did take out for the family and every item we had from pad thia to soft shell crab and noodles was authentic and well done. read more

I've been eating Thai for over 25 yrs and I 've been to all over SouthEast Asia. As usual, curry was too sweet, soup was too mild in spice and sourness, didn't see much basil, bamboo shoot, lemon grass herbs, etc. in other words, it's a typical American Thai joint. It lacks the authentic Thai flavor, but of course, it's made for the average American taste bud. But then, I didn't expect too much for $7.95 lunch buffet. If I was the owner, I would raise the price few more $ and add 4-5 more items with stronger taste. I give 4 stars for value, but 2 stars for authentic Thai taste. It's what I expected. A perfect place to take-out your in-laws. read more

Love their Thai food and the family who owns and runs the restaurant. Looking forward to trying the lunch buffet one day. We typically order take out, but have also had dinner there a few times. It can get very busy and the wait time can be longer, but it is well worth it. The most incredible Penang curry! Everything else is really fantastic as well. read more

I love this restaurant! The food here is delicious, everything I have tried on the menu has tasted amazing. I especially love the yellow curry and the mango sticky rice (when it's in season). The customer service is phenomenal here. The gentleman who works at the register is very kind and helpful! It is my favorite Thai restaurant in Oceanside. I highly recommend this place!!! read more

Surprising good considering I've never been a Thai food fan. I had their veggie egg rolls which were delish and their garlic pepper chicken. Highly recommended. I wouldn't say they have attentive service but they were friendly nonetheless. read more

We love this place! Thai Garden is a family-run business that really makes you feel like family. We come here several times a month and are always warmly welcomed. The dishes are amazing too, so flavorful. The Tom kha soup is just the right amount of tangy and sweet. My two year old can not get enough of the chicken satay and their pad kee mao is the best my husband has ever had. We have also enjoyed the pad prik king and the pad gra pow. We have dined at many Thai food places around the world and this is truly authentic. read more

This place has never disappointed me so far.People are very friendly and polite. I usually have penang curry (which is creamy and tasty), but I tried Chicken BBQ for a change last time, which was crispy and delicious! Their house-made coconut ice-cream is just amazing. read more

First time. My wife and I were looking for a new place. The gentlemen serving us was beyond pleasant. The food was a little slow getting to us but it was phenomenal! The decor needs some help. Will definitely return! read more

Love love love this place! Everything I have tried on the menu is amazing. If you're looking for a super fancy, nice place then this isn't the place for you however the food is amazing. Their pad Thai is awesome and the red curry with lamb is out of this world. read more

One of the best thai places I have ever been too! The staff is incredibly friendly and always recognize me when I come in. Their pad thai is my go-to date night meal, and the yellow curry chicken and pad sei ew are wonderful as well! I've never had a less than wonderful experience here, and try to make excuses to come here as often as I can. Also, their mango sticky rice is amazing! read more

Amazing !!! I always get thai garden for takeout , I get the spicy fried rice with tofu and a thai iced tea! So delish they nail it everytime , the guy who works there he is soooo kind and always remembers me when I call and just amazing customer service always! Food is to die for always so hot and fresh ! They give a large portions of food for the price (8$ for my meal) ! My favorite thai good in the area! read more

The food was amaze-balls! I agree with all the previous reviews as far as the food. The service is something else. Slow, never came back to the table- strictly business. So if you know that going in, and you're there for some amaze-ball Thai, you're in business! read more

Living close to here is great because it is a little hidden gem. Everything I have ever ordered here has been made with care and I really enjoy it! Amazing food, wonderful tastes and a great value. If you want Thai food and your in east Oceanside, then I highly recommend that you come and enjoy some amazing food! read more

Great food. I usually get yellow curry. Great Thai food all around. I don't always eat Thai food but when I do I prefer Thai garden

Yes, this shopping center has wonderful surprises. Enjoying this Vegetable Green Curry! Very delicious and I totally agree the food quality is here is better than most Thai places around Vista/North County esp. one with more pretentious appearances & customer service! Top notch food, fair pricing. Will definitely be back. Thanks! :) read more

Let's just say, I've been to Thailand 3 times, I lived in the center of Hollywood for a couple years, and still, this is by far the best Thai food there is. I have no clue how this is not a famous restaurant with the freaking fantastic food and service they have. read more

if your in the mood for some great pad thai, pad see ew or panang curry come by! the staff always makes you feel like family! I have been coming here for years and they never seem to disappoint me! read more

This is by far the best thai food i've ever had. The owner is always there at the counter and waiting tables and very nice. I have eaten at quite a few different thai restaurants in the area and this is by far my favorite. My favorite dishes are the pad kee mao and the green curry. read more

Excellent Thai food. Well balanced and not overly sweet as some Thai places in SD county. Very reasonable prices. Atmosphere is not anything special but the food is what we came for. read more
