Honestly can't believe I haven't ever left a review for this place. We were here like every week 2 months straight one time. They recognized my brothers and would just start making crunchy rolls because we always started with sushi as an appetizer lol. I'm thinking I never reviewed this place because I was trying to gatekeep lol. Every time we crave pad Thai we really mean we're craving THAI THAI. We first were introduced to Thai Thai from their location in Vista so when we heard they had a location in Santee we were so grateful! The service has always been 10/10 & obviously the food 10/10 it always kept us coming back and kept us telling our friends. It's rarely ever packed when we go in but most of the time we're waiting outside at 10:50am waiting for it to open so we're not there when it's packed lol. This is THE BEST PAD THAI in SAN DIEGO. Yessssss I said it. THE BEST It's saucy, the right spice level that you ask for & the noodles are thin. Omg I loooooove the noodles they use. The regular pad Thai noodles are too thick for me. We get a spicy level 8 regularly and 10 every now and then and if I don't feel the steam coming out of my ears I honestly don't want it lol. Also, their Thai tea with boba , sooo delicious. I could really go on but I think you all get it.

Service is always great here! It was Thursday night and there was no wait. The curry is on the sweeter side but they do load it up with protein! The green curry is also loaded with bamboo shoots. This place does fill up on occasion and is a casual but great sit down spot.

5/18 visit Came in for dinner .. ordered the Sampler platter appetizer & the Panang Curry . First off - everything was overly fried from the egg rolls to gyoza & calamari rings & cream cheese won tons & shrimp tempura . When it is deep fried everything tends to lose flavor & texture . It was just very rubbery ... & dry . The curry lacked flavor & protein . The curry sauce was very watered down & lacked the savory flavor of coconut milk and had barely any protein . It was served with a side of rice . Overall , the dine in experience was decent I wouldn't come back .. their YELP check in for the appetizer is not being offered FYI and what bothered me the most was the fly & bugs flying around on my dine in .. I just expected more especially with their star rating . It's a hard pass for me to find here ever again.

All, this place looks really nice, one thing I don't like is the fact that there are no pictures on the menu, it's all descriptions only. I ordered hot green tea which they had, which always pleases me when I eat Asian food. My main dish was Pad Woon Sen with chicken, beef, pork and shrimp. It was delicious! I also ordered some sushi, a dragon roll (Shrimp tempura topped with fresh water eel, avocado and eel sauce) which I thoroughly enjoyed! We also ordered the chicken chow mein, which was excellent. For dessert I ordered the mango sticky rice. The service was excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed this meal and I will be back again. And even though there were no pictures on the menu, I'm gonna give this place five stars.

While there are many different Thai options to choose from in Santee, unfortunately Thai Thai doesn't stand out too much. It's not to say that it's a bad Thai spot - with a hefty portion for what you get. But with that being said, the flavor wasn't all there. I found the pork to be a bit bland and not the rich succulent flavor I have been accustom too. But with that being said, if you've followed my reviews for a while, you know that we all get our "off days" and this rating can absolutely change with time! And I hope it does! Because those portion sizes are incredible!

Nestled in a small business park on Mast Blvd. This Thai restaurant has authentic decor and smells great when you enter. There isn't a ton of seating so if it's busy there may be a wait. We placed an online order for lunch and arrived before it was ready, so I purchased a coffee to sip on while we waited. Man, this coffee is HUGE!! I wasn't expecting a McDonalds size portion, but it was great and not too sweet. We got the Panang Curry Lunch Combo, that comes with a Gyoza and Egg Roll, and Chicken Sataay. the curry had a good flavor but was a little thinner than I've had at other places. Overall, it was a good meal and felt fresh and not too heavy. They are an Asian fusion place that also has dishes like Sushi and Orange chicken, so there should be something on the menu for everyone!

Best Thai food in Santee! Huge serving of Thai tea. Favorite dish was the Boat Noodle Soup. The restaurant is nice, with amazing service. Will definitely be coming back here often.

So good! I love Thai Thai. My coworkers and I come during lunch when we celebrate one another's birthdays so we have tried a wide variety of the menu (except the sushi) and have loved it all. My only WARNING is that we haven't figured out the spice level on any of the food yet. I usually can handle medium spice at other places and I get a 2/10 here and it leaves my mouth on fire. I've definitely learned to order no spice and just add the hot chili after it comes out. read more

Very clean and pleasant atmosphere. The service was friendly and the food was more than fantastic. My DH and I shared a sushi roll which was very good. We also got Panang pork and Orange chicken.

I decided to order lunch for my employees from Thai Thai in Santee. The lady upfront charged me about $10 more then what it should be for 3 lunch meals. I called to ask why. She stated they changed prices. I told her you cant charge people different amount then your website quotes. She asked rudely if I wanted to come back, I told her I cant come back, im at work. Her tone was super rude at this point as if Ive done something wrong. I said you have my card, please credit it the coreect amount. She said she already changed her prices. At this point I was tired of the back and forth. If you are willing to lose a client over $10, cool! Congratulations!!! read more

We ordered fresh tofu spring rolls, spicy edamame, and veggie pad see-ewe. The peanut sauce for the spring rolls is perfect- it has little chunks of peanuts and isn't too sweet. The server told me to throw in a spoonful of chili sauce to make it even better and they were right. The sauce for the edamame was made fresh with diced garlic and chunks of chili, no powder. The pad see-ewe was also delicious and something about the eggs in it really added to the flavor. The rice comes served in a heart shape - how cute is that?! I tried the bacon wrapped scallops, which aren't really my thing, but they were good. On top of all the delicious food the person running the shop was so welcoming. I liked watching them attend to all the guests with so much kindness and joy. Can't wait to come back! read more

If I were just reviewing their curry and Thai noodles, it would definitely be 5 stars. With our recent visit we had egg rolls, pork noodle soup, curry, and see ew noodles. Two of the egg rolls tasted like they had been sprayed with chemicals. It was horrible and I was honestly afraid I would get sick. The pork noodle soup was ok. It was brought to my table missing fish cake and ground pork. When I alerted the server it was missing, she told I was wrong. I checked the menu prior to leaving and I was definitely right. The soup also stated it had bean sprouts, but there were literally 2-4 of them. read more

My review of Thai Thai is long overdue. This place is amazing and I'll tell you why: First, the food is fantastic and there is something for everyone. Vegetarians and meat eaters will come together in peace to enjoy this delicious food. As for my favorite dishes, there are so many that come to mind. For appetizers, the fried tofu (comes with a sweet peanut sauce), spring rolls, and wontons are great. I fluctuate between main meals but the pad Thai with the thick noodles and the veggie lover are my favorites. You can add any type of meat to the fried rice and pad Thai which makes it customizable. You can also add "spicy" to it and the sauce is delicious yet very hot. I always finish my meal wondering when I'll get Thai Thai again because it's that good. Lastly, the people who work here (I've only seen two ladies when I've gone in) are so sweet. The first time I came in for a lunch special, the lady offered me Thai tea, which I'd never had before and now am obsessed, and gave it to me on the house. Ever since then, I always order the Thai tea! Overall, this place is a hidden gem and it's an opportunity for a fantastic meal that you shouldn't pass up! I go there so much that the lady even knows it's me ordering over the phone, lol. Looking forward to my next meal! read more

Esmeralda, who made my order, was so friendly and welcoming, guiding me through the menu and letting me know that the Birria grilled cheese is a favorite. Now, about the sandwich--wow! It was buttery toasted and packed with an impressive amount of cheese and meat, truly a delightful indulgence. It also came with a side of consomé for dipping, along with a refreshing lime slice, which complemented the flavors perfectly. Fruitylicious offers a fantastic range of options since they've transitioned from being a cheese grill sandwich place to a full-service spot with both Mexican and American cuisine. Besides the grilled cheese, they also have ice cream, shakes, fruit juices, and specialty drinks that I can't wait to try on my next visit. If you're looking for a delicious meal and a warm atmosphere, I highly recommend stopping by. You won't regret it and bring the kids as they have Jenga and Connect for fun for the family.

Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and made with care. The meats were juicy and flavorful, the rice was perfectly cooked, and the portions were generous. You can really taste the quality in every bite. It's so nice to see a local spot elevate like this. If you haven't been in a while, definitely give them another try.

The meat and rice were both good, I didn't have any of the issues I'm seeing in other reviews with the meat being dry or anything, all the meat was solid and good. The hummus was also good. The bad: this was the second time I had eaten from here and I had the same experience both times: the meat n rice were good, solid. But the vegetables and sauces were low quality and kinda poorly made. The tomatoes and onions were poorly roasted and the yogurt sauce wasn't very good. These are the little details that can make a huge difference and boost an eating experience from good to great. I will certainly be eating here again, BUT, it will be under pretty specific circumstances, like feeding a lot of people. I will have a hard time choosing this for a lunch or dinner over other places in east county that are a bit better on the margins

Decent food, service was not Great to be honest I was never approached for a new glass of water or the beverage I ordered. Not being approached when dining in is unacceptable but another thing to note is I received cold egg rolls and the lady still charged me for the egg roll appetizer. Very disappointed and DO NOT COME HERE if you are not a REGULAR. I was once the only person in the restaurant that was being serviced and watched others come in and be serviced the right way. Take care of the hands that purchase your product is the only way I know how dining experiences should be. Good Pineapple Fried Rice but not the Best, and the thing is I'm traveling from out of town but needless to say if you want a good dine in experience they wouldn't be the first choice. read more

Always wanted to try this place since we live close by. Pad Thai was a bit too overcooked and wet but overall decent dish. Curry was a little watery, potato's big and undercooked. I wish the sticky rice was more dry and sticky. It was steaming and moist when we got it in the foil. read more

The place has nice decor and the service is good. I'd recommend this based off my first visit, but now I have mixed feelings. I wouldn't automatically pass on it. I will still probably give it another try and get something different.

The color of the pad thai was also bland and it didn't taste like anything. Similar comments for the papaya salad, asked for medium spicy and it was mild and didn't have a strong flavor. The curry and rice were ok at best. The rice didn't seem like it was jasmine and was kinda hard.

This time I branched out and tried the Thai sausage fried rice and the fresh spring rolls for a takeout dinner, and I am so glad I did. They were absolutely right when they said my tummy would be happy. The experience started with a phone call to place my order, and the person who took it was immediately warm and friendly. When I came in to pick everything up, the ladies behind the counter were genuinely enthusiastic, not in a performative way, but in the way that people are when they're truly proud of what they're serving. They guaranteed I'd love it, and they delivered on that promise completely. It's rare to walk into a place and feel that kind of energy -- a team that's happy to be there and happy to feed you. That warmth is just as much a reason to come back as the food itself. And I will absolutely be coming back to keep working my way through the menu.

The stuffed chicken wings, curry puffs, and hot basil vegetables (lunch special) sashayed their way onto our table in all their glory, tasting fresh and hot with each bite. The stuffed chicken wing was coated in panko, fried to a crisp without being greasy, and the filling complemented the crispy exterior. The curry puffs were beautifully wrapped and braided, filled with a delicate mixture of vegetables and curry. Lastly, the hot basil vegetables were perfectly cooked. I ordered a level 1 spice, and I could still feel the heat. The lunch special also came with white rice, a salad, a fried dumpling, and an orange. A complimentary dessert was served--gelatin, fruit, coconut milk (I think), and ice. It was a nice way to end a hot, spicy meal on a warm July day. Portions were generous, prices were reasonable, and the service was attentive and quick. Our water glasses were refilled without asking, and the bill was brought promptly. An excellent Thai restaurant in La Mesa where hospitality, delicious food, and humility meet.

The salad dressing was pretty disgusting. I'm not sure if it was "bad" or something but it had a very rancid taste and smell. I even had my sister and mom try it and they said something was off. The salad was actually the whole reason I tried the place so I was a little disappointed. I wish I could have tried the great salad I read so many news about but I will probably not take a chance again. Will be back for the sushi though. Just maybe don't get their salad.

It was very nice that they had special customer parking, since this parking lot does get very busy. We liked the nautical esthetic outside with the vintage diving suit statue outside. We noticed there were a few tables outside and some tables inside as well. We were greeted at the door and asked to sit anywhere. We chose to sit at a 2 seat table where there a long couch on one side and chairs on the other side( you share the couch with the table next to you. I immediately noticed how crowded the restaurant is and how the regular chairs were made to fit a smaller body type. As a larger person, I sat on the couch side (which was hard to get out of without disturbing the table next to us). I did notice when we were seated that our table looked a bit dirty with something stuck on it. I ordered a ginger ale and my husband got a water. We ordered the prawns Roca for our appetizer, it was very flavorful. I ordered the Rainbow roll and my husband ordered the El Ranchero roll. My rainbow roll was very filling and had an interesting tangy flavor, similar to miracle whip My husband loved the el Ranchero roll. He really liked the unique Mexican Japan fusion flavor of it. Overall, we were happy with the food but not happy with the price. We felt it was definitely not worth the price. The knly way we'd come back is if we took advantage of the happy hour special someday.

The fried chicken was easily one of my favorite things we ordered. It was lightly fried but still had an amazing crunch on the outside, while the inside stayed incredibly juicy and tender. Definitely something I would order again. We also tried the curry, which was really flavorful. We ordered it at a spice level 4, but it honestly tasted more like a level 1 to us. It could have used a little more heat, but the flavor was still really good. The fresh spring rolls were good and tasted fresh. My only small complaint is that they could use a little less lettuce so you can taste the other ingredients more. The peanut sauce that came with them was really good though and made the rolls even better. The service was also great. Our waiter was very nice and checked on us a good amount of times throughout the meal, which I really appreciated. One small detail that really stood out was that as soon as we sat down, they brought out a child's plate and plastic utensils for our young child without us even having to ask. Normally, that's something I have to request at restaurants, so it was a nice bonus and showed that they welcome young children. Overall, we had a really good experience. The food was fresh and flavorful, the service was friendly and attentive, and the little extra effort for our child was appreciated. The fried chicken was definitely the standout for me, and we'll be coming back!

When our first waiter came by, he took our drink order and then it honestly seemed like he forgot about us. About 10 minutes later, another waitress came over asking for our drink order, and we let her know someone had already taken it but hadn't come back yet. We were seated at a hibachi table and most of us ordered the filet mignon medium. The steak itself was tasty, but there were SO many garlic pieces on top, it was honestly a lot of garlic. The fried rice was okay, nothing really special, just egg, rice, and butter. We all received vegetables except my brother-in-law, and unfortunately nobody noticed or fixed it. The restaurant also felt a little dark and cramped inside, especially once it got busier. What felt awkward though was that by around 4:30 PM, the manager came over and basically told us they needed the table because they had more reservations waiting. We were already finishing up eating, but it had only been about an hour since we sat down. For a party of 8 on Mother's Day, it just felt rushed since most places usually allow at least an hour and a half. Overall, the food was decent and the hibachi experience was still fun, but the service and feeling rushed at the end made the experience a little uncomfortable.
