Surprisingly packed for a Thursday night and for good reason. Was a bit skeptical since I don't usually get Thai food but this place rocked! Service was nice and friendly and while they were very busy we got good service with a smile. Food came out quickly after ordering and it was really good. Excellent combination of spices without overpowering the main ingredients. You get a lot food too for your order!

My Sister and I had a late lunch here before going to cheers across the parking lot. The food was good, but the customer service was very exceptional. Our waitress was very attentive and they brought our food quickly. I would recommend this restaurant and would come here again

Ordered via GrubHub and was very pleased with what I ordered. I got the Thai iced coffee, som yum (papaya salad), hot basil crispy pork, Tom yum soup, and Bangkok curry. Pros: -the papaya salad, chicken Tom yum soup, and hot basil crispy pork were delicious! They were incredibly flavorful and something I would order again. -everything was wrapped and transported with care which was very impressive Cons: -n/a Other: -so far, my favorite place to get Thai food in San Diego.

Luv the authentic flavor of their food and it's always tasty and fresh Service is friendly and efficient and atmosphere is very nicely done to make it feel very intimate and comfortable

Have been dreaming about this meal since I had it 2 weeks ago... literally some of the the best thai food in SD. Came here with 3 other people and ordered 3 dishes: lamb shank and naan, pad thai, and khao soi (not pictured). I was worried it wouldn't be enough for 4 people but the lamb curry platter is MASSIVE. The picture truly does not show you how big this dish was in person. The lamb was very tender and the curry sauce in this dish was very flavorful. The addition of the cherry tomato's in this dish was odd though, it didn't really pair well with anything else in it. We ordered a side of rice to pair with it. The pad thai was also very flavorful and we got it with crispy pork. The skin was a bit chewy but still crispy overall. We also got khao soi noodles with chicken and I love the crispy noodles on top. The curry soup was also very delicious, and had the perfect amount of spice for me. With these 3 dishes, we still even had a good amount of leftovers. Service was great and food came out quick. Everything came out to $20 per person including tip which I think is so good when you consider this literal massive piece of lamb that we ordered!

Thanks to Yelp, I was able to discover this hidden haven that is tucked well in a plaza. 11/17/2024. Before your food arrives, ask for the spicy condiments! Chicken Satay ($9.95): the typical tender chicken that you come to expect with that sweet and creamy peanut sauce that you need this all for an appetizer, 4/5 stars. Kao Soi with chicken ($14.45): soft noodles under the panang curry. The curry is creamy with a slight sweetness, while their spicy level 8 was a 10 elsewhere. The soft noodles had a chew while the fried noodles added a welcoming crunchy texture, 4/5 stars. Honey Tangerine Chicken ($15.95): a mild sauce but the batter needs more of a crisp. This was still an enjoyable dish, 3.5/5 stars. The servers were polite and were gracious for our first visit. We told them that we've enjoyed the food and will return regularly. They have an interesting menu that deserves sampling, such as lamb chops, chili lime fish, Thai surf & turf, lamb shank, tom yum noodles, and mango mousse cake.

Aaharn in Rancho Penasquitos is worth visiting for anyone who appreciates flavorful Thai cuisine. From the moment we stepped inside, I was impressed by how pretty the interior was. Every countertop and fixture was thoughtfully designed gave a high-quality and clean vibe. It's definitely a great spot for a date night or even a casual happy hour with friends. We tried several dishes, and we enjoyed every plate. The fried tofu was a standout for me--it had that really satisfying crunch that's hard to find. The fried rice was also a pleasant surprise. While the type of rice they used was different from what I'm used to, it was still so delicious and packed with flavor. The ambiance matched the quality of the food, making the experience feel polished and memorable. Will definitely be back again!

Cute little Thai place in Carmel Mtn right next to the 24 hr Fitness! My parents took me for my birthday lunch and we sampled 4 of their dishes! They ask for slickness level from 1-10 so we went in the middle with 5 for all of them...let me say, I can stand heat very well and this was still spicy!! Beware! We had the veggie Pad Thai, Red Curry with chicken, Chili Lime Fish and the Papaya Salad! Everything was delicious! Our group favorite all around was the fish! Stacked high with fish and big filets! The red curry was also excellent. Our server said it is best to order different spicy levels and not the same for each dish. We know for next time, and there will most definitely be a next!

service was quick and water refilled without requesting. Super hot out like 100 degrees and inside, has fans blowing and AC may not be working as it was hot inside. Pad see ew is saucey ,tad sweet, not enough vegetables , beef wasn't tender. But overall portion and flavor was there.

Such a pleasant surprise!!! Been craving Thai food and went to a few popular spots that were such a letdown. Everything we ordered was flavorful! Only qualm was the Pad Thai is slightly on the sweeter side, but adding lime helped balance that out. We loved the pineapple fried rice and red curry. Also be sure to order the Thai iced tea - so delicious!! Our server was very nice and helpful. She moved an extra table top for our party of 5 since she wanted us to have more space with the number of dishes we ordered. The interior is cutely decorated and nicer in person. Lots of parking on the backside of the restaurant. We're making this our go to spot for Thai
