Their food is great. Some meals they give enough food that you can have leftovers for dinner, so its like two meals in one.It also smells nice in there. They also have a water fountain and bathroom if youre studying in the Old Student Center.

I used their catering service for an event and I was very impressed by the portion size, service, and quality of food! Their pad thai and chicken dumplings are excellent. Will definitely be using their catering service again!

You know how sometimes you taste love in the food you eat? Well you are not going to have that here. Very over priced. The food is laden with oil and salt. The noodle soup is v v very msg based. Im not against msg but itll be nice to have soup that dont rely on it, especially for the price offered. I know blue pepper can do better than that. Do better than just ripping students off bc of the limited alternatives on campus. Ex. This spring roll costed almost 6 bucks.

Best restaurant in UCSD. Try drunken noodles, or Tom Yang noodel soup with Thai iced tae.

It is a nice place at the ucsd campus near Revelle college.The staff was efficient and courteous. I ordered vegetarian pad thai and it was tasty.

Both times ive ordered from here the container has leaked in the bag and ruined my clothing and the dish itself. Called the first time explaining the soup container burst at the bottom and they were incredibly unsympathetic and refused to believe me. Ordered a different dish the second time thinking surely the entree container wont leak and then it did and now im covered in oil and sauce until the end of the day again. If the flavor was good id give another star but its bad food, Scary dry factory chicken and mushy brown rice. I will never eat here again.

The building itself has lots of seating so its a good place to go study. The food is pretty good, I like the pad-thai. It can get busy around lunch time, they do have a cash only line so if you pay with cash you can order pretty quickly. The boba is not very good, its kinda mushy, but the Thai tea is good.

Generous portions as stated for the price, tastes more like a fast food place (oily, not same taste) than a restaurant but still good and filling if youre craving Asain cuisine and its convenient.

Their curries are good and filling, and the service is always excellent. Their tom kha soup is particularly good

The food quality is awesome. One dish I would recommend here is the Pad Thai. The price is also good. Overall, the place is very good for filling your stomach fully or you could say a very good place for brunch at an affordable price

Ive been here in La Jolla for almost 7 years as a graduate student and now Im a post-doc. Hi Thai is located close to my building. Its so convenient to go get lunch/dinner at Hi Thai. First of all, Im Thai (My family owns a Thai restaurant in Thailand, I know how good Thai food should be!). Second, I understand that its a campus food (basically for UCSD students and staff)! Due to reasonable prices, hot foods service, and friendly people at Hi Thai, I gave them 5/5!!! My favorites are Thai Boat Noodles, Siamese Noodles, BBQ Pork Noodles, Pork Chop (you can ask them to remove bone for you!). Dont listen to any campus tour guys who never try this place but keep telling you that its not recommended. Hi Thai...best food on campus!!!PS: Its true that some items are not authentic, but not bad to try. As you know, even american food, you have so many recipe/protocols to cook them, right?

Recommend anything soup related, such as the tom yum and chicken noodle soup. Always very plentiful and delicious. Also the soy milk here is actually ‘real’ soy milk, not the bleached and diluted ones you find in supermarkets.

Excellent Thai food at a reasonable price. Best on campus. BBQ pork dishes are very tasty. More curry items and seafood needed on the menu.

Great food, my only complaint is that I asked for no tofu and there was a lot of tofu in my curry. Food was delicious after I picked it all out though!

I dont understand why this place had such bad reviews. Look down at those comments - Nobody didnt say which plates or what kind of food that they got. I work here for 5 years and Hithai is the place that I go eat with my friends almost everyday. Pork Chop is the best. Panag curry sandwich is the best too. Also, Thai Tom Yum Noodle Soup and Egg Noodle BBQ pork are my favorite ones.What are you complaining about the price or service? These are only 5 bucks dishes and togo order only.Do not say anything if you have just ordered Pad Thai with your limited knowledgeable about Thai food and you didnt like it. This place has so much things that delicious and healthy.If expect to get great atmosphere why dont just go to La Jolla- Garnet st or Pearl St there are lot of Thai food restaurants there and youll end up spend $30-50/person. Pad Thai dishes there, average prices are $9-$12.Ill vote this place for 5 stars for their delicious food and friendly service - Stan- He is the great manager and his staffs are very friendly.

Twice they got my orders wrong the last two times I went, both times they gave me the short ribs and I ordered something quite different. It was intentional, you can tell that they are not selling the stuff, cuz it was just meat and rice. I have decided to stop going there. Their taste has improved after the name change, but prices have gone up, so still not worth more stars.

Its not amazing food, and its definitely not traditional Thai food. However, for the reasonable price, good location, friendliness, and actually ok cuisine, it really isnt too bad. Id give it a 6/10 overall.

The only reason this place is still alive is because its the closest to Revelle college and its kinda bad. The only thing thats moderately good is the banh mi sandwiches, but other than that, the pad thai, pad-see-ew are all tasteless.They do have vegetarian options using tofu instead of meat, but like the counterparts, they are not good.Some of my friends have even gotten food poisoning from there. Do not recommend.

Its an ordinary and delicious Thai food. I ordered bbq chicken on rice, but it was just an ordinary tall chicken breast with a Thai dipping sauce next to it. The fried dumplings in the appetizer are delicious. The spiciness of the pigs overwhelms the taste of the nine-story pagoda, which is a pity.

Review №77

2022-10-05 18:34:09

The family members burst into laughter. A portion of curry rice costs 13 yuan, which is full of rice and only a small amount of vegetables, so you can still eat it. It represents garbage and smelly swill.
