It took what felt like forever to open... but honestly, it was so worth the wait! I had the lunch Pad Thai (level 4 spice), and it was incredible. The spice level was just right, and next time I might even bump it up because the flavor was that good. Everything about the meal was on point! The soup, the veggies, all fresh and perfectly done! And the sticky rice dessert? Chef's kiss. read more

The restaurant was open for a week when we decided to stop in. We've enjoyed the food at their Oceanside location and were excited they opened in Shadowridge. We had the lunch portions of Pad See Ew and Cashew Nut with Chicken. Tom Kha was also on order. Lunch included vegetarian soup, house salad, egg roll and potsticker which arrived before the entree. The veg soup looked and tasted like Tom Yum. The house salad was sliced cucumber in mild vinegar. We were already getting full. Tom Kha was only one size which came in a big bowl, shareable. My Cashew Nut with Chicken arrived with tofu, the incorrect protein. The table next to us ordered the same dish WITH tofu so I believe that's where the mix-up happened. We were seated before that other party and also ordered first. However, the other party got their food before us. The patrons were very friendly with the staff giving us the impression that they knew each other. That worked against us. We felt as though we were forgotten a little. It took a few minutes for the server to come out by so I could tell her my order was incorrect. There were a couple of other times we were waiting for the server to come by. The boba in my Thai Tea was in clumps. No piece would be small enough to fit through the straw. I used a fork and took bites at a time. Wouldn't they have seen the clumps when scooping boba into my glass or did they not care? We're going to give this place another try. The food is good and we're optimistic that the next experience will be better. Sadly, it wasn't great on this visit. The restaurant is small, intimate. There are maybe 7 tables in total. No outside dining. Ample parking. read more

Thai Thai Melrose Restaurant - Cashew Nut with Tofu, lunch portion - Thai Near Me - Vista, California

I'm so glad Thai Thai has finally opened, I have been waiting over a year. We used to go to the Oceanside location regularly, so when the signage popped up and a coming soon sign was put outside, I was very excited. As we continued going to the Oceanside location and asking for updates, they said that they were having a hard time with permits and inspections. In the meantime, I kept driving by to see if it was open yet. Fast forward to now, and finally, we have an opening. I drove by on opening day and it was packed. I couldn't get back for a few days to try it, but I was looking forward to it. When we arrived, we could tell that it was busy. There was a line out the door and people were waiting both inside and out. We found a parking spot and walked in. We discovered that the line was for people waiting for food to go. We still waited about 20+ minutes for someone to acknowledge us so that we could get a table as we listened to the people who had already placed their orders. They had waited over an hour to get their food. Most people were pretty patient because they realized it was within the first few days of opening. Once we were finally seated and given menus, things were a bit smoother. After the orders of the people waiting were mostly filled they came to take our order. After that, the food came pretty quickly. We got cashew nut chicken spice level 3/10 and spicy eggplant spice level 2/10. Both were good. A few days later a friend texted me asking if I wanted to go to lunch at Thai Thai spur of the moment. I agreed and we met there around noon. We were given waters instantly, and our orders were taken. I ordered pad see ewe with chicken and she ordered masaman curry with chicken and Thai iced tea with boba pearls. I ordered a spice level two and she ordered a spice level three. The food came in a timely manner. Her dish was not spicy at all and mine had mild spice, which I liked. The dish was flavorful and I enjoyed it a lot while we caught up.. When we first arrived, there was only one other table by the time we left there was only one table that was free. I mistakenly assumed that if I ordered something that was on the lunch menu, it would come automatically from the lunch menu and include the sides. Unfortunately, I didn't realize until later that that was not the case so if you want something off the lunch menu, make sure that you mention the lunch special. I will give them some more time to get settled and into a routine before I return next, but it won't be too long, I'm sure. I really enjoyed my meals. read more

My first time at this location. It was not busy when my friend and I got there around noon on Easter Sunday. We were immediately seated and service was quick and friendly. I ordered Thai Tea with boba, Chicken Pad Thai, Chicken and Eggplant, and Mango Sticky Rice. I chose spicy level 8 and it had a good kick to it. They also brought me extra hot sauces on the side. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. I'll definitely be back. read more

Service was professional and efficient. I love that they are finally open. It looks like many people were just as excited as we were because it was packed when we went. We ended up getting our order to go. They do have tables outside, but the space is small and minimal. I highly recommend the Mango Sticky Rice and Crab Fried Rice. read more

I think it's my new favorite restaurant in town! read more

We went the 1st day that Thai Thai opened on Melrose. The food was not only delicious, it was well priced. We ordered by phone for pick up (pad thai with chicken and tofu - spicy 7). Today we ordered lunch and dined there. The nam kao tod was the perfect blend of texture, spicy and sour. Thai tea with boba was a great palette cleanser. The space was clean and service came with smiles. See you tomorrow! read more

Great Thai food. Been excited for this location to open. Didn't disappoint and have been twice since they opened earlier this week.

We decided to try Thai Thai on Melrose because it was convenient and had really enjoyed the Oceanside location a few months ago. The setup is fine and we were sat at a comfortable table, waited on very quickly. We ordered the Fried Rice with Chicken, Pork and Shrimp to split and asked for a mild seasoning. It came out too fast, and we immediately knew why. There was very little flavor, bland and boring. The meat was precooked/processed and inedible. The vegetables weren't cooked properly, not combined with the rice. We could barely eat this and were extremely disappointed in the food which cost us $30- big ripoff... read more

The restaurant is small inside but very cutely decorated. The food was so yummy! The service was great. Very nice staff and owner.

I ordered the Pad See Eww chicken with no spice, the Garlic Chicken with Cabbage, and the Mango sticky rice! The Garlic Chicken is literally Garlic Chicken! If you don't love Garlic then don't order! ... everything was amazing and tasted great! They did provide rice vs cabbage but not something that bothers me. Next time I will make sure it's cabbage and not rice! The place was clean, staff was friendly and they accepted my Apple Pay! Individually packed all my spice! read more
