    It is a hole in the wall restaurant! The mom and pop place is always the best place to eat at! The food is amazing! Home cooked and everything! Very affordable! Awesomeness!!

    A couple of weeks ago, we ordered Thai from another restaurant and was disappointed. Upon searching I found Thai Fresh with good reviews. Took a chance and ordered from Thai Fresh . Service was quick and food was fresh Spice level was right where we wanted it. Great Drunken Noodles and Green Curry were great. Only hiccup was we requested and paid for extra Chili sauce and Peanut sauce for the Spring Roll. We only ended up with one of each. Will def repeat.

    We love coming to Thai Fresh for yummy Thai in Chula Vista. It's a hole in the wall with a table or two to dine outside, we usually order to go. The food is fresh and full of flavor, portions are good and the prices are great. Evenings can be a bit busy, try to call in your order to minimize the wait. We frequently order Panang tofu, chicken larb salad, crab fried rice, pad sew w/tofu ... Everything is wonderful!

    This is hands down THE best Thai food. Any time I order they make it fresh and as soon as I take that first bite I feel like I've died and gone to heaven. And the staff are so friendly and kind, I've never had any issue with them or my meal. Highly recommend!

    Currys were watered down and had no flavor. Very disappointed in the quality especially for the price you pay

    Love this place, 2 small cramped tables outside so more of a Togo place next to Rubio's.

    Literally the Worse Rhai food I've ever had. Chicken wings were dry and hard, noodles were sweet, the worst food ever! Gave the rest to the dogs.

    Today’s order could have easily been disastrous. I requester 615p to 645p but it came at 6p. I wasn't supposed to be home yet but good thing I was. You sent it to the wrong address. Not sure how as i’ve ordered many times. Y’all worry me. My dinner almost went to my neighbor.

    The man that works here kept my card and ran it up… There are several charges on my card after he conveniently kept my card and charged me twice. My card was declined at another business and I checked my recent transactions and all charges occurred after using my card at this business. This business should be ashamed and the guy should I be fired!!! He kept my credit card knowing he was going to take down the info and use it.

    Delicious but portions are disappointingly small for what you pay for.

    Went with the pineapple fried rice and it wasn’t the best. Shrimp still had the shell on at the tail end and it’s a rather small portion compared to other places for the same price.

    Just order 3 boba thai teas with extra boba. Boba was gross. Never has boba that bad. $20 for all too. Which i thought was expensive.

    Ordered from ubereats. And was missing an item! Uber driver said the lady who packed checked as well. Still missing! Update: I called for a refund. The lady told me she will call me back after calling uber to dispute it. No call back and no refund.

    I just ordered Red Curry Chicken medium spicy and it is/was really amazing. The heat was perfect, the vegetables perfect and the rice absorbed the curry and coconut and my only regret is that I wish I saved some for later!

    Be careful they aren't open all day they close after lunch and open at 4:00 p.m. not sure exactly what time they close computer says they're open all day at the side I looked at I told them so they might change it. The food was very tasty I had the shrimp panang I've been told by other friends that everything else they have there is great as well. There's really no place to sit there they tried to close the table the girl that took my order is more than a little bit rude but that might be from her laos usual cultureual attitude. Not sure I've been told from a friend who lives there that that's the way the women are there. LOL An older woman who I think might be the owner straightened her out right away. Anyway you cannot go wrong eating here or taking food home which is primarily what they want you to do take it with you. So don't plan on eating there there's never any place to eat inside but there's a couple of chairs outside as you can see tables. You could always walk over and use the tables from Pollo loco LOL. I will definitely be going back the Penang was absolutely great nice portions fair prices enjoyed their Thai tea. Give it a shot you'll love it here or you'll love the food when you take it home LOL

    I don’t know what has changed here in the past 2 months. I and my coworkers were bi-weekly customers. We loved it here but they have lost their care for customers. Food is just mashed into bags. The food is not labeled to desired spice or content. The drinks are given small straws even when it had boba. I gave them 2 months to see if it was a bad day but this seems to be the new norm. I am looking for a better Thai food place in the area to be honest. Many customers from the Hospital and we are looking for a better spot.

    I like the tom khar soup, green curry chicken, and sticky rice with mango. I've had the phad Thai and it is ok, but not a stand out, unfortunately. My wife's favorite is pad see ew which is good with lots of umami flavor. Fresh rolls are also very good, served with peanut sauce and a sweet and sour dipping sauce. It's, not the cheapest takeout, but good quality and I end up having dinner and lunch out of an order.

    I usually don't like giving bad reviews and want to point out that this is not based on the food rather the service. I've been told the food and flavor is good so I drove 20 miles to try it, yes 20 miles(I like to try new places). The drive was only to be told when I was there that they close from 3-4pm for lunch. I totally get it that they need a break but I drove a good 20 miles only to be told "sorry, we close from 3-4" even after I told her I drove a bit just to try their food and it was 5 til 3pm. I'd be nice if they update their lunch hour on their social media and websites so people know not to visit during that hour. It is safe to say we won't be coming back🤷🏼‍♀️ on to the next one.
