Spices Thai Cafe - S San Diego

I ordered the lunch special pad Thai for takeout and was surprised with salad, soup, fried wontons, and an egg roll. The food was super hot and service was excellent.

This is my fave Thai place in San Diego. I usually get the yellow curry and some sort of appetizer or a lunch special which is always a great deal. We will also get the spicy noodles or pad Thai. The best apps are the calamari, wings and money bags. Last time we ordered online and they were out of something, they tried to get ahold of us to tell us before we got there. They weren’t able to because my phone had died, but were really nice about it when we got there and subbed out our app with another. Really great food and service

So I've been to two Thai restaurants within a span of a few days and this one was the better of the two food wise. I would've liked more of a spice hit. It isn't much decor wise just a space with tables and chairs. The servers are nice. We got the Panang curry and the drunken noodles for 7/10 and 8/10 spice level. Both dishes tasted good. Good quantity also. Personally speaking though, I could've had more heat in both. I'll definitely be back and ask for a level 9 next time!

Looking for a quick healthy lunch in Carmel Valley. Their lunch specials come with an egg roll and two crispy curry lentil wontons, as well as a tasty coconut soup ! I ordered the Pannang curry with pork and the Pad Thai. I think curries are the better choice! Each lunch was under $15 which is very reasonable.

Eaten here before pandemic and when revisited today, a disappointment. I’m sure there’s a reason and will give them one more chance. Otherwise———, well, no more.
