Koon Thai Kitchen

The food was so great. Everything is around $20 and up but the flavor is great. The rib eye steak was cooked perfectly to my liking and the sauce under it was so flavorful. Service was also great. Very attentive and nice servers. I will definitely be back to try new stuff!! But I’ll be getting the steak again for sure.

Koon Thai offers a diverse mix of traditional and modern Thai dishes, including vegan and vegetarian options. They have a very nice hip atmosphere and is nicely decorated. I ordered the Khao Khar Moo (F1 in the menu), and my wife had the Pad See Ew (G10 in menu), and the Tom Yum Soup. All of the food came out fresh and tasted very good. The pork in my order was very tender and flavorful. Most of the food on my plate, however, had a soup base almost drowning everything in my plate. The photo didn’t show it having that liquid. But whatever it was, it made the food so tasty. I will definitely come back to try more options. The service is very good and efficiently fast.

I was visiting friends in California this past week but am writing this during my layover. I went with a friend and her family for my last dinner of my trip and Koon Thai’s food certainly didn’t disappoint. We had a variety of dishes to share amongst the four of us but of the ones we ordered I absolutely loved the crab fried rice and pad see ew. The host and wait staff were very friendly and on top of things with us as well as the other tables they were assisting. They would check in frequently to efficiently handle any needs we had during the meal. Another strong suit was that the decor inside the restaurant was gorgeous and I couldn’t help looking around while I ate (and even taking pictures). It felt very elegant while still feeling warm and welcoming. I will definitely be back the next time I visit California.

Beautiful and casual atmosphere, colorful and fun, with upbeat music. Would be a great date place or a place to get together with friends. I had the fried pork belly and Tom kha soup and they were delicious. The service was very very friendly and very fast. They have different options for Thai iced tea as well. Highly recommend.

Might be the greatest Thai restaurant I’ve eaten at. The Khao Soi was phenomenal, had so much flavor, spice and was just a thrill to eat. Service was quick and attentive, food came out fast and the whole vibe of the restaurant was top notch. The decor of the place was very well done and it’s a great spot for photos and to celebrate an event. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in San Diego

Koon Thai Kitchen is a San Diego staple, thriving for years in the competitive Convoy neighborhood, and for good reason. They go beyond the standard Thai fare with plenty of unique dishes. On our latest visit, we tried the pineapple fried rice, yum pla todd, and pad thai pu nim. All three dishes were spot-on in flavor. The only small surprise was that they didn’t ask for our preferred spice level like they usually do, maybe they noticed we had a toddler with us and assumed we’d want it mild. Service was excellent: prompt, attentive, and courteous. As a bonus, they offered us shrimp chips while we waited for our table, which was a nice touch.

Fun atmosphere. Cute decor.. Attentive wait staff. A little bummed they didn't offer green curry. Decent size portions. Value in prices. The tables and benches were a little funky with mismatched cushions. We almost tipped bench when reaching over table but had a good laugh over it. definitely worth a try. I would say it was a 4.5. everything was good but not a solid 5.

Came here for lunch on a Saturday. There was plenty of parking since it was still early. But when we left the restaurant, so many cars were circling and waiting for people to leave. We ordered the spring rolls. It was pretty decent. My friend ordered the pad thai and it was good. My spicy noodles were delicious. I had it with crispy pork and it made it for a great treat. This place is a definitely go to for Thai food if you go early in the day or have patience looking for parking.
