Thai Test Kitchen

I come here often, and it never disappoints! The restaurant is located in an office area with plenty of parking, making it super convenient. What sets this place apart is its truly authentic Thai dishes that are hard to find elsewhere, like Khao Moo Daeng (BBQ pork with rice), Khao Kha Moo (braised pork leg with rice), Khao Man Gai (Hainanese chicken rice), and Khao Moo Krob (crispy pork with rice). If you’re looking for real Thai flavors, this place is the real deal! Highly recommended.

Yum!! Portion size is a bit on the smaller side but the flavors are on point. I have been dreaming of good roti since I visited Thailand years ago, and this satisfied my craving. My friend and I sat at a table outside and the staff brought our food out to us which was greatly appreciated. We went on a weekend so I'm not sure how busy it gets during the week when people are working since it's located in a business park. Can't wait to go back and try their other dishes!

Came in during lunch time, it wasn't as busy as one would expect being surrounded by offices. Atmosphere and furniture are nice, very well kept, food was flavorful and a good price-food-quality ratio. The only thing is the attitude of the staff, if you ask for any modifications or even cater to a special need, you'll get a rude answer and a "it's $X extra" even though it is just removing an ingredient or asking for more veggies instead of meat. I get the meat surcharge but more onion and cilantro seriously?!

Heard about this place from a friend so I went to go check it out for lunch on a weekday. It's hidden in a big business area in Sorrento Valley and there was a constant stream of customers coming in for lunch. I thought the food was flavorful but a bit salty. The portions were quite small for the price too. I don't think any of us will be returning. We choose bbq pork as the meat options on a few of the dishes and regretted it. They were dry and didn't add anything to the dishes. Just dry bbq pork belly pieces added to the dishes on top. Choose different meat options so that they are cooked in with the dishes.

Eggplant rice w chicken was so good! Hot and fresh, good balance of flavors Perfect ripe mango, and I like the sticky rice was served warm, not too sweet like MNGO All good things for the food and service, just wish the plate was easier to scoop from🥺Good find, def support !
