Flavortown Return Visit: Choo Chee Perfection!
I had to make a return visit to Flavortown because I couldn't shake the memory of the Choo Chee dish. I ordered the same thing again and was not disappointed. I also enjoyed some yummy rice crackers with watermelon syrup and some chicken skins.
I feel like I always have to hit this place whenever I'm in the San Diego area. The incredible servers here deserve so much love!

Friendly Service, Mixed Food Flavors
My experience at this restaurant was marked by extremely friendly service and an affordable, extensive menu. While the food wasn't bad, the balance of sweet and salty flavors was inconsistent, with some dishes leaning too sweet and others too salty. It seemed the chef was heavy-handed that night.
I'll need to remember this place to return and try other items off the menu.

Great Vegetarian Thai Options
My experience at this Thai restaurant was excellent, especially for vegetarian diners. We ordered vegetarian dishes and were pleased to find that you can request them to be made spicy if you like. The vegetarian offerings were a large vegetarian selection, and it's highly recommended for vegetarians.
The food received a perfect score of 5, and the service was also top-notch with a score of 5. The atmosphere was rated 4, described as quiet and easy to talk. We experienced no wait time and found plenty of parking.
The price per person is between $10–20.

Rarely gets everything right!
As a very judgemental person, it's rare for a restaurant to get everything right, but this place did! They truly got everything right, especially the som tum. Keep in mind while ordering that the portion sizes are huge!

Authentic Thai Flavors & Friendly Service!
We absolutely love this place! We just discovered it yesterday and were so impressed. The people are incredibly friendly, and the food comes out super quick.
We tried the Larb, shrimp fresh roll, tom kah gai, egg roll, pork phad lao, and sticky rice, all of which were 100% authentic and seasoned perfectly. The Thai iced teas were delicious. The beef tripe larb was particularly noteworthy – tangy, savory, and spicy, served with fresh basil, cucumber, and sprouts, and you even get a choice of bitterness!
We also loved the selection of “ready to go” items. We will definitely be going back for sure. Thank you!

Delicious Variety, Hard to Choose!
My experience at the restaurant was great! There were excellent options and so many dishes that I usually only see at different restaurants, which made it difficult to choose what items to order. The Three Flavors Fish was a definite winner.

Excellent Thai Food and Friendly Service
My experience at this restaurant was excellent. The Larb (with chicken) and sticky rice were outstanding. I also thoroughly enjoyed the tapioca balls with pork inside (sakoo yat sai).
The people were incredibly friendly and patiently answered all my questions about the wide selection of prepared foods and sauces available at the front. The service and atmosphere were both rated a 5 out of 5, and the food also received a perfect score.

Absolutely Amazing Food!
My experience at this restaurant was absolutely amazing. I dined here with my family twice during our visit. The food was incredible, with the Thom Kroung Nai dish being particularly outstanding and "on fire" 🔥.
It's a must eat place!
