Thai Joint — Restaurant in San Diego

‼WOULD NOT COME AGAIN.‼ I came here to eat with my friend and our two daughters after having a hard day. The food was delicious but I definitely will never come back here as long as the woman who served me works there. I have never walked in a restaurant feeling unwelcomed the moment our server began speaking to us. I would never expect a server to make disrespectful comments about my child who is only 2 years of age. The Server oddly told me and my friend to take our children's shoes off so we don't get her place dirty which we felt was a very odd request. We put them in the high chair that was already very dirty and dusty so I was confused. She hovered over picking little things back up as my daughter ate her food and if my daughter would put something down she would come to the table and take it away. Our children were tired, we just wanted a break and no one had an issue with our children but her. We felt rushed out with a check before we even finishing our order. When I walked to the restroom and left the table she went to my friend that I was with & in front of her daughter proceeded to tell her that my child is a bad kid. My feelings were hurt and I felt disrespected. To label a two year old as bad and one as good in front of other people and children while serving is completely inappropriate. Children are sponges, what we say shapes them into who they are, this server was saying this to the person I was sharing my lunch with. As a mother sometimes doing it all alone, I go out to have a break , to feel like I'm part of the world again. I always appreciate servers who stand for making their customers feel welcomed and have patience for all forms of humans and families. Unknowing of possible disabilities or hardships at home if this woman thinks it is okay to make comments like that to her customers I don't think she should be working there. I don't believe this woman represents good customer service, I don't believe that she is meeting up to the common values that most restaurants stand for. I called to complain the & Delilah was very kind and apologized. She asked if I wanted a refund and an apology and I said sure. The woman who served me got back on the phone and mocked me giving me a very disrespectful and backhanded apology with a very rude tone . I remained calm and just said I did not want to argue. She put Delilah back in the phone and she said she actually can't refund me until the owner came and they will give me a call tomorrow. I still haven't gotten a call back. I'm not angry about the money; but I am concerned about anyone with children eating at a place like this. I will take further steps until I get a call from someone who is in charge. This place is far from kid friendly and I would never recommend anyone who has a child to eat here. If you have a child with special abilities, toddlers, infant that cry, I would not feel comfortable being served by this woman. I support businesses that are all inclusive and this is not...

WOW! Thai Joint on Adams is an absolute treasure. From the moment you step in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere sets the tone for an exceptional dining experience. The staff provides top-notch service—friendly, attentive, and always ready to offer recommendations if you’re unsure what to order. It’s clear they take pride in making every guest feel special.

The food here is nothing short of amazing! Each dish bursts with authentic Thai flavors, perfectly balanced and beautifully presented. I highly recommend their Pad Thai and Green Curry; both are absolutely delicious and showcase the kitchen’s expertise. The portions are generous, and the ingredients are fresh, making every bite an absolute delight.

(Born & raised SD native) Ive had a more than a dozen SD Thai spots in over 30 yrs. Today was my first time trying Thai Joint—and I’m so glad I did. I ordered grilled chicken, sticky rice, yellow coconut curry, steamed veggies, and papaya salad for pickup. The staff was incredibly friendly—when I left, three people said goodbye and thank you at once. It was such a warm touch. The packaging really stood out: neat, secure, and thoughtful. They even placed cardboard between the hot chicken and cold salad—something I’ve never seen, even at my go-to spots like Thai Time in North Park. Plus, they included sauces and cutlery without me asking. The food itself was fantastic—fresh, piping hot, and packed with flavor. I ordered Thai spice level, and they weren’t kidding! I’ll definitely be back. This place does it right from...
