This was definitely the most pleasant dining experience Ive had in all of San Diego. It was a very chill vibe and the food totally blew me away as well, curry is delicious. (I recommend the thai iced coffee) Waiter was very kind and even brought us out complementary deserts. Not to mention prices are pretty good here for the quality and the portion. 100% recommend
This place should have 5 starts. My husband and I got the cashew beef, tom yum soup, and shrimp fried rice everything was so delicious and the waitress was really sweet and nice. She recommended what the right amount of spicy would be for us based on a scale and she got it right on point. At the end of our dinner she offered us this dessert on the house, it was coconut milk with melon and tapioca, so good!!! This became my favorite place for thai food and won’t be going anywhere else.
Ordered from Chaba's website and said it would be ready in 15-25 minutes. I got there in FORTY FIVE MINUTES and order STILL wasn't ready. Apparently, Matt didn't see my order go through their own website. OK, so I waited ANOTHER 10-15 minutes. After I wanted to cancel it, then I finally received the order.It shouldn't be this hard just to get some thai food. I agree with others here, there are other options out there.Gone are the days when I used to love Chaba for their service and food.
Super yummy.They have a lunch time special from 12to3pm.100% recommended!!!! I can’t wait to go back.
One of the better Thai food places in San Diego. Good for take outs as it is a really small hole-in-the-wall place in a strip mall. Gets A for most of the standard Thai dishes but highly recommend Khao Soi Noodles as entree' and Tapioca Coconut Milk as dessert.
FANTASTIC!We recently learned of Chaba ("Hibiscus") Thai Kitchen at another Thai/Lao place we found. We tried it out for lunch today, and we'll be back!I had the Khao Soi Gai (curry broth and noodles with chicken, topped with crunchy noodles). This is my favoriate northern Thai dish... and one of my favorite foods in the world! It was excellent, and a massive, generous portion in a huge bowl like you'd get in Chiang Mai! And it tasted exactly like khao soi in Thailand.My wife had the Pad See-ew noodle stir fried flat noodle dish with beef. We shared the tod mun pla (little fish cakes) appetizer.Topped it all off with Thai iced tea and a complementary coconut milk, melon and gelatin dessert. Yum.FYI I ordered "medium" spice level and it was fairly spicy. Not too hot for me (I like things REALLY hot), but it had some kick. If you're a lightweight in that regard, order "mild." They served red chili paste on the side of my khao soi to add more kick to taste, along with sliced purple onions and green chilis.Friendly, fast and efficient service.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
The best Yellow Curry I've had in awhile. Tapioca with coconut milk was also really good. I'll be back for sure!
I like the Tom Kah Soup, great blend of sweet sour and spicy. But the padthai I had is average, a bit too sweet and sticky.
Despite the positive reviews, my friend and I experienced extremely slow service over a 40 minute wait for our order. We were told they were busy, not for in-house service but for call-in orders. I would think being there in person would be priority for the kitchen, unfortunately that was not so. We shared the fresh spring roll which was adequate. She asked for the Thai salad which she saw online yet was not on the printed menu, the chef was accommodating and did create a special order for her. I had the eggplant stirfry with vegetables and it was quite tasty. Overall food okay and service pleasant yet super slow to get our food.
Very delicious Thai food. Seasonings were perfect...I didn't have to add anything, spiciness was great. It has been a while since I had good Thai food. Service was awesome! Prices were reasonable. We'll definitely be back.
