Great Food! I ordered takeout on a Tuesday evening, about 5:30 PM, which is 30 minutes after they open for the evening. The lady said that it would be about 45 minutes for my order to be ready. Well, this is generally a good sign, when it comes to a restaurant. I ordered their entree dinner, the basil fried rice, both with chicken. And also ordered a mixed seafood salad. The entree was a mix of stir fried veggies with a nice portion of chicken. The sauce was a sweet and savory, leaning more on the sweet side. The basil fried rice was one of the best I've had, with a very balanced Thai flavor. It was a breath of fresh air to eat chicken in an Asian restaurant, that didn't taste like cat. (If you're wondering, cat taste just like slimy chicken). The mixed seafood salad was a raw seafood mix, marinated in the sweet and savory sauce. Very similar to Peruvian ceviche. The seafood was squid, shrimp, oysters, and scallops. Everything was ridiculously fresh and delicious. The total with tip came to $60. This is very reasonable for very good quality food. The people that complained about the price, really need to stick to their Panda Express, and stay out of fine dining establishments. I'm very critical of Thai food, so trust me when I tell you. If you like good Thai food, this restaurant is well worth the drive and the wait and the money spent....
Read moreI absolutely love the small Thai restaurant located next to Pechanga Casino. It's a must-visit spot if you're unsure about what to eat and prefer not to drive while staying at the Pechanga Resort Casino. Eggplants Thai Cuisine is a true hidden gem in the area, offering an authentic and delightful culinary experience. Run by a warm and friendly mom-and-pop team, this casual dining establishment stands out as one of the finest Thai food places in the vicinity. The restaurant boasts a clean and cozy atmosphere that adds to the overall charm.
The hosts are incredibly welcoming and are more than happy to guide you through the menu with their excellent recommendations. As for the food, it's an absolute treat – bursting with authentic flavors and prepared with the utmost care. Each dish is skillfully seasoned and spiced to perfection, thanks to their use of fresh, high-quality ingredients. You absolutely must try the mango sticky rice for dessert; it's simply delightful!

Read moreIf you want something else and you feel like eating Thai dish, look no further. It's right next to Pechanga gas station. What we had is Papaya salad, pineapple fried rice, boat beef noodle soup, fried fish with basil. The place is small, probably can accommodate 25-30 persons. Rest rooms are clean. Nice and friendly staffs and servers. We're so hungry and we just want to try something else, my wife was browsing at yelp and we decided to go to this restaurant. Honestly, food was good, but we are not satisfied. We feel that they could have done better. There's a lot of things missing on the food. Pineapple fried rice missing some spices and turmeric, needs a little bit more shrimp and green onions. Papaya salad needs a little bit of chili and bit more of lime. I did regret ordering the boat noodle soup. Taiwanese beef noodle soup in Pechanga is way better and lastly, the fish is good but I feel like they just deep fry the fish fillet and put some sweet chili sauce and warm it up with fried Basil. Overall, not bad. We spend about almost $80. I hope this can help you and enjoy the food! We hope you guys have a...
