Thai Village — Restaurant in San Diego

Excellent food, terrible service. We walked in and had to wait for 20 minutes for a table to clear and none of the wait staff (read ONE waiter and a buss boy) said a single word to us until a solid 5 minutes after we were seated. He failed to take a drink order and instead simply asked us "you guys ready?". The place was quite busy when we arrived, but by the time he got around to taking our order, most of the other patrons had cleared out. It took 15 minutes to get two orders of spring rolls, but the main dishes were out promptly after the rolls. The table next to us, who walked in 25 minutes after we first arrived, got their food before us. We had finished eating 45 minutes after placing our order, and then it was time to wait for the check. MORE WAITING. Typically a little bit of waiting doesn't bother me, but this was getting out of hand.... The avocado curry was absolutely delicious and the pad Thai was amazing. I highly recommend the spring rolls. If you're not in a hurry and can put up with....less than ideal....wait staff, then this place is a 5/5. But until they greet customers at the door and remember who got there...

The yellow curry is amazing! I ordered the Chicken Yellow Curry at a spice level of 7 out of 10 as I like spicy food. It ties for the best curry I've ever had. Been to Thailand and hundreds of Thai restaurants. At a spice level of 7, it was pretty spicy but never too spicy. It took me right to the border of almost too spicy land but the curry is spiced so perfectly it brought me back every time. Marked safe from the curry 😉. I would order an appetizer, the yellow curry, and an additional side of jasmine rice if two people are eating together and you'll have the perfect amount of food for being pleasantly full and having no leftovers. But then again, the food is so good you might want your own entrée and leftovers. The waitress working was absolutely fabulous. She was polite, pleasant, quick, and spot on at all times. Highly...

I rarely leave bad reviews, but this experience was too upsetting not to share. The service at this restaurant was shockingly rude. Our waiter was dismissive throughout the meal, and to make things worse, the bill already included a 20% gratuity — despite the poor service — yet she still demanded an extra 53 cents. It turned into an unnecessary argument that completely ruined what should have been a simple family dinner with my parents.

The food itself was just okay — certainly not worth dealing with hostility and unprofessional behavior. For a place that charges automatic gratuity, I would expect at least decent service, not rudeness and fighting over loose change. Very unfortunate experience, and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone who values being treated with...
