Social Thai Kitchen — Restaurant in San Diego

We’ve been loyal customers of Thai Social for a long time and truly love this place. We live just down the street and often order takeout from the to-go area next door, which has always been an exceptional experience, friendly, quick, and consistently delicious food.

Unfortunately, our recent dine-in visit for my birthday was a letdown. The service felt very lackluster. Our server seemed disengaged and disinterested, which made the whole experience feel a bit uncomfortable. We’ve had her as our server before, and it’s always been the same vibe..low energy, no warmth, and little effort to make guests feel welcome. It honestly makes it hard to tip the 25% I normally do, because the experience just feels so flat.

To make matters worse, my son ordered the Tiger Steak, which on the menu is shown as a thick, juicy cut that looks at least 16 ounces. What arrived was maybe 8 ounces at best, cooked well-done instead of medium, and so dry and tough that he couldn’t even chew through it. He gave it an honest try, but after struggling with one piece for 10 minutes, we had to send it back.

That said, we still care about this restaurant. The food is usually great, and we hope Thai Social continues to thrive in the neighborhood. But I do hope they take this kind of feedback to heart, especially for dine-in guests and special occasions, because it really does make...

Was walking by seen the restaurant & was excited to try it before even going in the worker there didn't look like she was even happy to be there very mopey but thought well maybe she's having a bad day so we walked in anyways sat down started off with a Thai tea it was terrible not very flavorful like ones I'm used to back home we had eaten dinner earlier and basically just stopped in to eat dessert because we like mango and sticky rice the plate came out as eating it mangoes very bitter sauce on it was extremely runny & nasty I was choking it down to be nice at every bite I felt like I was going to vomit so had to bury it with a napkin everybody seem pleasant but one lady I always say running a business even when you're having a bad day you should always keep a smile on your face. For myself and working for the health department I would say try to be a little bit more friendly and please take a better look at your food...

We have been to Thai Social now twice, and the food is delishious, the first time we had beef drunken noodles and mixed yellow curry and shrimp wrapped in wrapper these were simple and nice size shrimp very tender and succulent with a chili dipping sauce, this is a very nice appitizer all where very good, the second time we had the pad Thai chicken and it to was very good, we also had the won ton soup, the soup was delishious except the won ton wrapper was a little pasty I think they made the wrapper with flour? Instead of corn starch, this won ton soup is delishious full of Won ton's and vegtables, peppers we got 6-7 and it was nice and spicy its a meal in its self! The wrapper of the won ton is just weird, staff are very nice, and attentive the resturant it self is very clean, very nicely decorated and cozy, not a loud resturant, it's warm and cozy, I am very happy we can walk to this Thai restaurant. We...
