Thai Fresh — Restaurant in Chula Vista

We ordered through DoorDash. The problem was not with that service, but the food.

I'll go down the list. Pineapple fried rice had 3 Shrimp in it (literally). If you're going to charge more for seafood at least add more than that too it to accommodate the price.

I'll start by saying none of the curry or soups were labeled. Was a little confusing to figure out which was which. And we eat Thai quite often. Normally it's easy to just look based on veggies if nothing else, but I'm getting there.

Red Curry, normally bell papers and bamboo shoots, easy. (Both the panang and red we're same color) but my red had no bamboo shoots in it, a few bell peppers and carrots. Carrots are not described in their menu at all.

Panang curry, ordered it with chicken. There were 5 pieces of chicken in it and a ton of carrots. For some reason skimping on meat is a trend.

Tom Kar, normally a nice soup to start off with. Again with the carrots, which are not listed on the menu for this item.

Tom Yum, was not at all right. Had cabbage and carrots in it making up most of the soup. Neither veggie is suppose to be in there. It was more of a cabbage soup than a nice brothy soup with mushrooms and chicken.

Not sure why they used carrots as filler for everything, or why ingredients were added to items not listed. I understand if you run out of something, like no bamboo shoots I can live with. But I don't want to drudge through cabbage to get to the mushrooms I really love in a soup that is as...

Be careful they aren't open all day they close after lunch and open at 4:00 p.m. not sure exactly what time they close computer says they're open all day at the side I looked at I told them so they might change it. The food was very tasty I had the shrimp panang I've been told by other friends that everything else they have there is great as well. There's really no place to sit there they tried to close the table the girl that took my order is more than a little bit rude but that might be from her laos usual cultureual attitude. Not sure I've been told from a friend who lives there that that's the way the women are there. LOL An older woman who I think might be the owner straightened her out right away. Anyway you cannot go wrong eating here or taking food home which is primarily what they want you to do take it with you. So don't plan on eating there there's never any place to eat inside but there's a couple of chairs outside as you can see tables. You could always walk over and use the tables from Pollo loco LOL. I will definitely be going back the Penang was absolutely great nice portions fair prices enjoyed their Thai tea. Give it a shot you'll love it here or you'll love the food when you...

I usually don't like giving bad reviews and want to point out that this is not based on the food rather the service. I've been told the food and flavor is good so I drove 20 miles to try it, yes 20 miles(I like to try new places). The drive was only to be told when I was there that they close from 3-4pm for lunch. I totally get it that they need a break but I drove a good 20 miles only to be told "sorry, we close from 3-4" even after I told her I drove a bit just to try their food and it was 5 til 3pm. I'd be nice if they update their lunch hour on their social media and websites so people know not to visit during that hour. It is safe to say we won't be coming back🤷🏼‍♀️ on to...
