California Thai Cafe

Don’t use their website to order. I placed an ”ASAP pickup” order at 11:15AM, and once it processed it says “pick up at 4PM”. I called in immediately to try to fix the issue, but was met with push back that I ordered incorrectly and they didn’t have my order. I triple checked and made sure I ordered off their authorized website. The woman couldn’t help me over the phone and told me I could come in at 4PM for my order or “cancel”. I told her there was no option for me to cancel…. So I went inside (work is right next door) to try get a refund & prevent them from wasting food at 4PM, and that was another awkward conversation. I understand the worker is limited on what she can do, but I showed her my emailed receipt for proof. Maybe I don’t understand food service, but I figured they could make my order now & not at 4PM… simple? After going back & forth for 15 mins with calls to the owner, they made my order but I won’t ever be back. I paid them $20 for fried rice and to be made feel I was trying to scam them or something was truly demeaning. I can relate that technology is frustrating but it’s not your client’s fault your online service is glitching. After all that I have no appetite for their food.

Good service and delicious food

Incredible Tom kha soup, Delicious flavor and texture 100% recommended

Very good curry. Got the yellow curry, got the spiciness level 5 and it was perfect. Hot enough to notice, but didn't detract from the flavor.

5 out of 5! This place is the best thai food I've ever had. I got the Beef Pad See Ew at a level 7 heat and it was heaven in every bit. Noodles cooked to perfection and the beef was tender with a nice sear to it. I HIGHLY recommend this place!

Came here for dinner around 18:45 on a Thursday with my family. It was not busy at all so we were seated right away. We were provided water right away and given time to look at the menu. I wanted to order the Crab Meat Fried Rice, but they did not have everything to make it, so I went with the Panang Curry with spice level 2. My wife got the Panang Curry level 4 and my mom got the Chicken BBQ Fried Rice. Everything was really delicious and flavorful. The place had lot of decorations and looked clean all around. The staff was quick and friendly. We would definitely come back for more, especially the proximity to our home.

I really enjoyed our food and the atmosphere. We both ordered pad thai and both dishes were absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. We will definitely be coming back here again when we are in San diego. Thank you.

I had the best chicken satay I’ve ever had here! The peanut sauce is to die for and I’ve never had chicken be so tender! The ice cream is made at the restaurant and is extremely delicious. I’ll definitely be back
