Spices Thai Cafe - San Diego

Excellent lunches, Thai tea, atmospheric service! We'll be back soon!

Best chicken fried rice and spring rolls around! This place is far from where we live but a nice treat to have when in the area. We came on a Saturday night and it was not too busy. Service was great and no wait for a table. Food was delicious ? got spicy level 3 which is perfect for someone who does not want too much spice in their food.

Great Thai food!! I had the tom kha soup, (fried) spring rolls and pad thai. The tom kha soup was full of chicken, mushrooms and flavor! The (fried) spring rolls were crispy and hot (temperature); loved it with the sweet and sour sauce. The Pad Thai is one of the best I've had. The noodles were not too starchy; the dish was packed with chicken, bean sprouts and peanuts (on the side). I ordered medium and although it was not really spicy, I was able to appreciate the delicious sauce the noodles are cooked in; so good. Topped off my meal with a refreshing Thai iced-tea. The service was especially great! The server was not only friendly but recommended some. Other great dishes to try next time. I'll definitely be coming back for more.

The food was ok. But I won't say it's up to the level other restaurants around. Had some plain rice mixed with the fried rice we ordered. However, the lunch special deals are well worth the money. The waiter brought us the check before had the chance to order dessert, which I think was a little unprofessional.

I really wanted to like this place since the people were very nice. But the food was very mediocre. I ordered a lunch special chicken cashew to go. It was packaged very nicely with each component in its individual container. They even included utensils which was great. However, I was not too impressed with the food. The fried wontons had potato inside which I was not a fan of. The salad dressing had a curry flavor which I did not expect. The sauce to the cashew chicken seemed thick as if they added starch? Ovetall, not the flavor profile I was expecting. Maybe the regular menu is better?
