Bahn Thai - San Diego

Came here for dinner because 2 different friends recommended it. And they weren’t wrong. Off the top- the place was busy, I like that, yea we might have to wait a little for our food but that tells me it will be hot and fresh. Classic pad Thai with chicken, super good. Spring rolls were crispy and didn’t disappoint but the Thai fried rice at medium heat was amazing. I really wanted curry, the table (outside) next to us was slurping it up and it looked delicious. This is definitely a must while in University heights.

I am a local and moved here partially because of Bahn Thai, no exaggeration Blue crab fried rice is absolutely out of this world. yummy*fantastic*hits the spot every time! If you enjoy aromatics, I suggest asking for extra cilantro as I found it to be sparse but that’s like extremely specific. Mango sticky rice is quite small which was kinda a bummer but the overall flavor made every bite quality and balanced. Finally, steamed veggies are lovely and a solid mix of fresh (or darn close) veggies, some other restaurants don’t use fresh veggies and it’s quite apparent.

Food so tasty and fresh, also they have a couple of tables for dining, cozy and nice place to have delicious Thai food

I will say great food. Be willing to wait. But venture like I did and find that the fish curry and spring rolls will be the best you've had ever!

Been on the hunt for some good Thai food in San Diego since I moved here a few years ago. Absolutely takes the cake. Coming from the east coast, my standards for crab Rangoon were pretty high and this place got it right. Even cut holes in the container so they didn’t get soggy. Perfect flavor and creamy texture. 12/10. Also ordered the bomber eggs, which were unlike anything I’ve ever had, but so delicious! Tons of flavor and texture was so good. Garlic stir fry with shrimp had awesome flavor, though we would have liked more veggies… would try something different next time. Crispy spring rolls were super fresh and not greasy at all. Very delicious. Had to try the mango sticky rice even though we were in a food coma ….also 10/10. Great price for all the food we ordered. Happy danced with every bite! A new favorite for sure.
