In Bernardo center there is a row of restaurants, amongst them is Pailin Thai cafe. The inside is very quaint, and the service started out attentive. We arrived for lunch and ordered off lunch menu, Tom yum soup and the cashew chicken. The prices for the lunch were very reasonable, and the food was tasty but the lunch portion was very tiny. Once the food arrived all the wait staff disappeared and until we stood up and found someone we’d have never left. Although good the tiny portions and the service made this place an okay place to check out. Read less

This spot is a family favorite! We have been coming here for years and love the food. They have plenty of vegetarian options and great lunch specials! Extra love for the spicy curry noodles that have been my go-to for years. Also, they are accomodating for my mom's food allergies and are receptive to any changes you may want in the dishes.

Five stars isn’t enough for the vibes at this place. Ice-cold beer in frosty glasses? Yes, please. Jasmine tea so good it made us question all other teas. And Pete—legend. Friendly, on point, and made us feel like VIPs at a Thai paradise. We’ll be dreaming about this meal for weeks. 🙌🍻🍜 Read less

HEADS UP: When I visited Pailin recently, the owner said they're moving when their lease is up at the end of July. Rent increased by $10k a month, and it's already exorbitant. She's keeping a list of customers to contact once they reopen somewhere. Yet another family business shuts down due to landlord GREED. REVIEW: Great food, excellent service, owner is friendly and kind, as is everyone I've dealt with. My favorite is yellow curry/chicken. But everything I've had has been delicious!! Read less

By far the best vegetarian Thai food place in San Diego. We had vegetarian soup with coconut broth, papaya salad (without shrimp!), egg fried rice (the best), Se-Ew noodles, and coconut ice cream, all great choices. He gives $15 back if you buy $100 gift card which I think is a great deal. Overall, money well spent. Freshness in every dish. Read less
