Aaharn Thai @ University City — Restaurant in San Diego

What a gem of a find! Dropped in randomly because I was shopping late next door for groceriesm. Didn't have high expectations and was blown away. Maybe my favorite Thai restaurant in San Diego. Everything was so fresh and delicious it was amazing. I had Tom Kah soup and spicy beef salad and both were absolutely top quality. In particular the beef in the salad was grilled so perfectly it was like getting the best piece of barbeque steak but with all of the spicy Thai goodness added. I love this dish almost always at Thai places but I don't think I've almost ever had the beef grilled quite so perfectly.

Service was great and the atmosphere was more modern and classy than I would have thought from a place in a shopping center.

I will for sure be back to try some other dishes.

BTW, I chose "mild" when she explained the spice levels and I can say that it's definitely a "spicy" place. My spice level is normally a medium and I'm glad I ordered mild. Plenty of kick even...

Came here and got pad thai with chicken and thai iced tea and gyoza. I thought the lunch special came with the appetizer, but on the bill, they charged me for the appetizer. I didn't care to let them know, but at least people will know for next time.

The thai ice tea is not good at all. I wouldn't recommend it. Literally no tea flavor. Too much milk, overly sweet, and too much ice.

The pad thai was good. I got it mild spicy 4 and that might be too spicy for some people. Because the drink was overly sweet, this dish didn't help at all. I felt like the dish was on the sweeter side. Chicken was cooked as expected for this dish. Flavorful, just wasn't authentic. One nice thing they add to the dish is a fried dessert (i think the filing was mango).

Service was excellent.

I may try something else but as of now, low priority that I will come back...

Today is April/01/2022 around 7:00pm to 8:00pm, I went to AAHARN Tai restaurant located at 3324 Governor Dr., San Diego, CA 92122. There is a Asian woman around 30 to 40 years old, around 5 feet 6 inches, her body type average. She has short black hair, cut flush to the earlobe. At the beginning, she from the kitchen came out and talked to people with friendly, she seem very nice at the beginning. She asked people a question, she asked :" Have you been help ?" But after she just ask the question 1 second, she suddenly totally change immediately and yelled loundly with rude and crazy, she yelled:" Get out !" She seem try to kick someone out when nobody did wrong. After we find out she is a very aggressive woman. She is the person work for that restaurant with rude, crazy...
