One2Go Thai Kitchen — Restaurant in Encinitas

I called around 9pm and was told by the person(JACK claims to be his name. Image attached) who attended my call before even taking my order that they are closing soon. Then he asked me what I want? I said 2 orders and of tom yum soup spice level 10. Then he asked me what meat I want in my soup? I asked him what options I have? Which is a common question everyone asks while ordering. But then Kim he right away got mad and told me “YOU ARE WASTING MY TIME” can’t you look at the menu online and order? I was soo down hearing those words from him at that point. Again I politely replied him that I am driving from Fallbrook to his restaurant only so I can’t look at his menu while driving and I requested him to go over the protein options they have? He refused to provide option. Then I asked him do you have beef? He said “NO”. Then I aske do you have “MIX SEAFOOD”? He said “NO”. But even then he is not ready to explain the option. But he was in a intension to disconnect my call and told me he not gonna place my order until I reach his restaurant and do not want to waste food. I again pleaded him that I am driving please place the order for 2 Tom yum chicken soup large spice 10 and if you want I can pay now on the phone so that if I reach close to his closing time I can just pick up and I won’t be a reason to close his ledger delayed and go home late. But he refused that too. He again said he won’t place the order and waste food, and be here before closing and place order in person. After the experience over the phone I was about to turn over from my half way, but since my wife asked for the soup and that was the only restaurant open until 9.30 i proceeded. Once I reached the restaurant I asked him are you the one who was talking to me on the phone? Can’t you explain the protein option while I was driving? He again with an attitude showed me the laminated menu to see the option, and didn’t allowed me to talk further. I then placed the order for 2 large soup and told him I “Don’t want to waste time with a person who doesn’t know to respect others time”. Not sure if this business owner read this review? I was standing in front of him and waiting for my order for 10 mins for no reason and that could be avoided if he took my order over phone and that would have made both ends easier. He was showing kind of worst attitude like why I am there at his restaurant for the whole time when I was there waiting for the food.

And BTW: The soup was soo bland. No sourness at all. No taste at all. I am having Tom Yum soup for years and this is not the one I expected. My bad. Wrong restaurant choice. Never ever...

I can see that this establishment is attempting to separate themselves from the average Thai places already existed. I drove to this nearby town of Encinitas to find its setting refreshing and, though small space, clean and pleasant. It is in a small strip mall off El Camino Real, easy to find. If I live in the neighborhood, I would spend sometime hangout here eating my favorite lunch or dinner and their variety of drinks, watching people come and go. I tried the Kao Soi (Chiangmai curry noodle), because it is rare to find it being offered else where. The broth/soup had good depth of flavors, a bit leaning on sweet side. I do hope they tone it down a bit. The egg noodle was similar to the one used in Thailand, so it was good effort. It should be barely cooked since the hot broth would further cook the noodle. The chicken leg, though seems generously huge, the meat was on the tough side, you must use your muscles to try to separate the meat from the bone, messy task. My guess, it was not stewing in the broth, but was simply boiled separately, then add to the bowl. I am hoping they would cook that leg in the broth until the meat fall apart, allowing the flavors to permeated into the meat. It would be so lovely. The other one I ordered was Kao Moo Dang. It came with Chinese sausage which I loved, and a boiled egg. The sauce has good flavor, rice was slightly overcooked, but it was ok, the BBQ pork slices was delicious, however, the meat was again on the tough side, perhaps need to marinade it longer to break it down further. Overall, I enjoyed the dish since it reminded me of my time in Thailand. I would certainly pay more visits in future, and try other dishes, perhaps, something that are more of "sure thing". Kao Soi is not an easy dish to match what they have in Chiangmai, but good enough, except for the meat. I hope they make it available in other kind of meat instead of chicken only. The bowl that they use to serve the hot soup was plastic. I prefer soup/broth in ceramic bowls, don't you? I wanted to try their Thai coffee but it has already sugar in it. So, I passed. Nowadays, with some of us trying to avoid added sugar, I believe it might be prudent that they leave off the sugar and let the customers add it to their taste. Just a thought. I think for a restaurant just over one year young, it is a delight. Of course, there's room to improve, but I think they are on their way to become a bigger hit, and a positive addition to...

This is an amazing Thai place!! I found this place because a few co-workers were eating it in the break room and I just had to try this place out because it smelled so darn good. Later that day, I stopped by and the restaurant and I ordered a Pad Thai with kindergarten spiciness for me and my girlfriend to share. (I love how they rate the spiciness, it’s so cute)

Me being stupid and forgot to ask them not to include peanuts because my girlfriend has allergies. Luckily, there was no allergic reactions as we saw the peanuts before we ate. I was about to buy another Pad Thai without peanuts but the workers were supper generous and made us another Pad Thai. They were suppper understanding about allergies and they made us another Pad Thai without asking for anything. Please don’t take their generosity for granted and abuse it guys! They’re really nice people and thank you again for the...
