King Of Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in San Diego

Great new Thai place! This location on Girard has been a few different Thai restaurants, but this is the best one yet. It has a very nice atmosphere on the patio and inside. It's relaxed but still seems elegant in a Thai sort of way. We had the fresh spring rolls with tofu and they were some of the best I've ever had. Anywhere! Totally fresh and vegan, don't miss them. Nice peanut sauce and a complete spice tray let's you enjoy it the way you want. Our mains were pumpkin curry and tofu soup. Both were excellent, the pictures tell the story. The curry had lots of pumpkin and the sauce was nice. The tofu came fried, and I think it would have been better soft. Be aware that this spice level is very low, much milder than you'd expect. I ordered it 4 out of 10 and there was hardly any real zing to it. Don't order less than a 5 if you're after authentic flavor. And if you really like spicy dishes you should go an 8 or higher. Their menu notes the vegan dishes and I noticed the red curry didn't show it. It turns out that it uses fish sauce and they let me substitute the yellow curry which doesn't have it. The service was super nice be well informed and flexible. They have Singha and a decent beer selection. It's really a great place...

07-09-2025 My first time being here. I was not impressed.

Ambiance: Nice decor and inviting. Liked the waiting wooden bench with heart pillows.

Ordered: -Pork Salad (listed $15.95 on the menu, check $16.95)- a bit on the salty side and the ground pork was rough -Lunch Eggplant Tofu $14.95- my friend shared it was good -Mango Sweet Rice $8.95- mango slices were sweet and coconut sauce was creamy delicious, not overly sweet. They ran out of sweet rice. Discounted price from $12.95 down to $8.95

Service: 4/5 for male, 3/5 for female We had a good experience with the male staff, polite and cordial. The female staff, however when I asked for lime after she delivered our glasses of water, she behaved as though I troubled her for asking lol

For a party of 2, one customer should not have to wait for the other customer's meal to be served. Their food should be delivered simultaneously especially when the restaurant was not busy at all. Don't think I will be back here again...

Note: The price they charge you might not coincide with the...

The food was tasty! Nicely plated too. Cute holiday decorations. Food came out quickly. The only reason its minus one star was of a spice level issue and zero water. One of my friends eats a lot of spicy foods, and requested her meal be a level 7. The server even confirmed if that's the actual level she wanted, which I appreciate, before sending the order to the kitchen. lol I understand that different places can interpret what a level 7 spiciness might be, but we got the impression that they might have taken iy as a challenge to out-spicy my friend's ability to eat it. She always orders her food at that level anywhere we go, but this was so hot she was unable to eat more than a few bites and had to throw the rest away. I can't imagine what a level 10 would have been there then. Also, my friend knew she wanted it to be a high spicy meal, so we all ordered waters as soon as we had sat down. We all had to request waters around 4x, and even then, it wasn't until the new table sat behind us ordered waters too that the waitress...
