First time trying this place, the pad D-1 Phad Thai was delicious! I got a Level 1 spicy with chicken and no bean sprouts and it was absolutely perfect. Huge portion and plenty of chicken, egg, and veggies.The Thai Iced Tea (Each) was okay, not very flavorful or sweet and more watery than creamy. Will def be getting the pad Thai again!

The pad thai and was amazing. It had a slight smoky flavor. Panang curry really good too. The sweet sticky rice was outstanding.! The sweet coconut milk that it comes with is habit forming! The best ive had in San Diego. Great balance of sweet, salty, and rich coconut flavor. When I requested extra coconut sauce they really stoked me out on the quantity which I really appreciate. Other places usually either ignore my request or give me only a tinny bit more. This place is far and away my favorite Thai restaurant in North County!

that was NOT jasmine rice. i have been making it for years. That was just plain old rice. what was that rubbery stuff in the soup? I have been eating Thai food for years and sorry, you don't have a clue and are very expensive

Totally love Rim Talay! Great Thai reasonable price and very consistent C-4 Yellow Curry every order. They do a great papaya salad as well. Akin to Thai I've had in NorCal / Bay area. I've ordered their Thai tea boba on a number of occasions as well, but it seems like their boba is inconsistently prepared. Sometimes the boba is perfectly cooked and is the expected boba texture but other times the boba is undercooked and hard. This results in all the bobas getting stuck at the bottom of the cup and does not go up the straw.

their food is so good and if you have not tried the spicy rice balls you are really missing out. they're so crunchy and soft on the inside with a nice mix of sweet and savory with spice. love this place so much.
