Thai Pasta reviews
14Such fresh food. Had the drunken noodles, pineapple fried rice, and fresh spring rolls, and all was great!
The portion was ridiculously small for the price. I ordered beef bowl for $17. I received a mountain of rice and 7 pieces of small cut beef also include veggies but very small serving as well.
We've been going to Thai Pasta for the past 15 years (back when it was in Oceanside) and then when they relocated to Carlsbad. They've been very consistent with good food and prices up until when they changed owners circa 2021/22.
Ever since they've changed ownership we noticed the following:
1.price increased by 30-40% for the same dishes
2.very, very poor customer service
3.the food was not as good (tasty) as previous 15yrs
4.no more dine in with plates and cutlery; instead you're eating out of paper plates in the restaurant
SAVE YOUR MONEY.
Craving Chicken Panang for dinner so ordered here on my way home. She asked “Spicy level 1-5? ” With such a narrow window, I told her “I love spicy, but not so hot that I can’t taste flavor…so maybe 4? ” She said “How ‘bout 3? ”. I took her advice and it was So perfect. Almost borderline too hot but so very tasty! Just what I’d hoped for. Always very kind service here.
Stumbled upon this place one morning when getting Starbucks. So when I wanted some take-out I decided to give it a go. Its the first time in a while I haven't been disappointed by take out. I got the Crispy Veggie Roll, Veggie Dumplings and Pad Thai. My only complaint is that I wish I got more sauce with my veggie rolls because it was so good!
I only had the pad Thai but it was really good. Definitelya better place for take out but they do have some seating. Overall was very good.
Absolute garbage since they changed the menu. I was going here for years, including the other locations they had and now they have taken off some of their best meals and are really left with not a lot of offerings. SUPER disapointed. The staff is different now and they don't act as professional or kind/welcoming as the original people. Will not be going back and don't recommend.
PingPyong provided great service and the food was even better, the Pad Kee Mow, the Pad Prik King, and the Red Curry were absolutely the best in class for Thai food. Oceanside will get another visit just to go back there.
She is touching money & everything else in the place with bare hands. THEN picks up the salad with bare hands to put in your lunch container!
I have driven by here a thousand times, went in yesterday because my daughter saw it and wanted Thai, after trying and loving Thai at another local joint a few weeks ago. I had thought it was a chain, but it had a mom-n-pop vibe to it.
The food was bland (not spicy bland, other flavors bland), the service slow, and the prices kind of steep. I know the pandemic has jacked everything up, but the size of the bill (and the size of the portions) didn't fit with the ambiance of duct-taped upholstery and truck-stop bathrooms.
If we do order here again, I'm definitely calling in and doing take-out, but I'd probably drive the other direction to the other place for that.
This used to be my favorite Thai restaurant from when the original one was open in Vista, to the second and third locations. It was the place I compared all other thai places too. I was finally in the area to enjoy it once again only to call in an order to arrive and find out it was under new management and they actual menu and recipes had changed. My favorite dish, Pad Woon Sen is completely different and no longer available as a lunch special with cucumber salad. Very sad.
My favorite Thai restaurant in Carlsbad I really like Pad Thai and Red curry New Owner very nice and friendly I will go back for thai food again.
First time and just under new management.
Very friendly waitress Kat, explained food and I took the green Curry, very nice.
In Carlsbad not may good Thai Restaurants but this one has only Thai staff which makes a difference when it come to the food for sure.
Can only recommend.
They have take-out so for lunch will go there now at least once a week for the guys at work.
Good luck with the New Start there!
