Nattiya

The dishes that I normally order to test the quality and taste of Thai restaurants are as follows,
1.) Fried Rice (Beef or Chicken)
2.) Rad Na’ (Beef or Chicken)
3.) Nua Nam Tok (Thai Version of Beef Salad) The English Version is just called Beef Salad and it’s prepared differently, it’s not prepared the same.)
If just one of the three is good, I aready know if I’m ever coming back. My grandmother spoiled me with home cook Thai meals growing up. So I like to think I know what time it is.
The Nua Nam Tok, is delicious, this place is considered to have more quality than quantity in it’s dishes. The beef here was real tender and it had no fatty pieces attached to the beef at all. It was PERFECT.
The Chicken fried rice was delicious and well proportioned for a single person. It is not served as an À la carte dish. The reviews here always complained about the portions, in Thailand the portions are smaller. Here in AMERICA, the portions are exaggerated, in other words you are use to stuffing your face with a FULL plate. This would be considered a higher end restaurant and not your average «Chinese Fast Food Pit Stop for Lunch.» Which you can’t compare unless you don’t go out much.
The plates here are priced base on, how much the owner is paying $ per square foot, Atmosphere, Quality Of Plates & Utensils, Entertainment, Crowd, Quality of Food, Etc.
If these prices strikes you as too pricey, then it was purposely set up that way to keep the a certain unwanted crowd away in my opinion.
If Beverly Hills was affordable to live in then expect higher crime rates, just sayin.
But to each is own, I’m assuming the owner is just trying to attract more of the ritzy crowd. Overall, the food is good and I would recommend it to anyone who would prefer quality over quantity.

Best Thai place in the area. I absolutely love their pineapple fried rice.

It is always great here
Had the panang curry and red curry. It was amazing
Food came out quickly and service was great

This is one of the best Thai places in San Diego! My husband and I love the weekend live Jazz as well! Highly recommended! Now that they deliver– its our go-​to!

This place has been consistently good for many years, hence why I am writing this review:) First of all just a warning… if your reading this you probably already know that much of Thai food tends to be on the spicy side. I find that the more authentic a Thai place is the spicer the food & this place fits that description! If you normally order a 7 at most Thai places I would maybe bring it down a notch or else be prepared.
Over the years the prices here have gone up a few bucks on some dishes & the lunch specials which I have no problem paying. I think it came with the with the establishment getting a full bar & having entertainment at night. It is a pretty classy place as well, very contemporary in the décor, lots of color & nice lighting making you want to stay a while.
I’m a huge fan of a place with a great lunch special this place has just that. Lunch goes from 11 – 3 (pretty sure) Monday-​Friday and you pick an entrée & what protein you want with it, brown or white rice, comes with soup, a real GREEN salad (no cheap iceberg), and and egg roll.
I normally get the eggplant with tofu & basil, sometimes the red curry. They also do a special seafood curry in a steamed artichoke which is amazing. Some Thai places the curry is watery & bland this place the curry is always creamy & packs a punch. Like I said watch how spicy you order! I’ve also had the papaya salad & larb salad with chicken. Everything I’ve had here has been good. This place never misses a beat even when it’s busy. Service here also gets 5 stars. Much of the staff here seem to remember me & know my preferences which is great because I can get in & out for a quick lunch if I need to. I’ve met the owner who is there regularly & she is a sweetheart. Absolutely live this place & so will you.

Time to review! I have been here quite a few times over the past 3 years. Always very welcoming and kind upon entry. Really a tranquil place to dine, romantically decorated. Everything they serve is absolutely made beautifully. Appetizers to soup, wine, beer and entrees are perfect! Heat ranges are also forgiving.
Seafood curry is so amazing! Rice cooked perfect, not too much. Roasted duck is killer! Pad thai noodles are flavorful. Large portions, plenty for left over. Tom Ka soup is wonderful, taking that home for later. The best! Even recieved beautiful roses as a compliment. Thank you so much! Open hours, when others in town are not!
Favorite place hands down;) Please try this place! Its fantastic!

Only had the tom kha with extra mushrooms and it’s the best thing I have ever eaten I love it. Incense in the restaurant made me a little queasy so wouldn’t eat in but this is def my new soup spot!

This place delivers through
!
I’ve only eaten at the establishment a few times but i order from here often. the portion sizes are big enough for two meals. If you get drunk at home and want something other than pizza I definitely recommend nattiya. SOOOO yummmmmmm.

I’ve only had Thai food once before and I wasn’t thrilled with it! It was one of those meals were I needed glasses of water to keep myself from gagging, but I’m starting to think it was just THAT place!
After I picked up my friends from Tucson, I wanted to impress them and since they are die hard Thai lovers, I went searching through Unilocal for Thai places of course. What struck a cord with me is the place next door, Northern Lights, plays Jazz music Saturday night and unbeknownst to me the two places are connected! So you can enjoy a meal while listening to Jazz and then head over for a few after dinner drinks! Perfect!
We arrived around 7 pm and there were a healthy amount of people, but still plenty of places for our big party to sit at. After getting suggestions from the waitress and our Thai connoisseurs, I chose the Thai Chow Main with beef. Our food came out pretty fast, but what I liked is they brought out each individual plate whether or not the other ones were done so you can enjoy your food while it’s still hot! I took a bite of each person’s meal and DAMN it was all good, but I think my personal favorite is the Green Curry! So creamy and since it has coconut milk in it, I was expecting it to be sweet, but it wasn’t, which I liked!
Beware of spice levels! Thai spice isn’t Mexican spice! I ordered a Thai 4 and OMG! It definitely cleared my sinuses! However my friend who ordered the Green Curry ordered a Thai 4 had no heat at all! LOL However I ordered a Thai Iced Milk Tea and that simmered down the spice a bit.
Overall, everything was flavorful accompanied by the great ambience of live Jazz music to round out a great Saturday evening!

Upon entering the establishment I was hit with the aroma of incense. The entire place was empty, so we sat down in a corner booth. The service was excellent, and the staff helped my lady pick her meal. We kinda winged it today. Her first time eating Thai, my first time eating at this place. Gamble.
It paid off. Food was great. I had the pineapple fried rice she had pad Thai. We will be going back. 4 on the spicy scale is not spicy at all so I will try 6 next time.

2 and half to 3 stars.
Like a lot of people say, great but do small portion for price! !!
It’s so hard to find the restaurant I do not bring home any left over.
So kids and I went there tonight.
My teenager had to tell me to stop by chick fil a after had dinner…
Seriously this place needs to rethink about the food size.
Other than that, great food! !!

Hungry little sister asked me to go to lunch for Sibling Day celebration so we decided to check out her favorite Thai restaurant.
Food: We ordered the pad thai and it was moist and full of flavor! Only problem was the portion size was super small… same goes for the red curry. In fact we were still hungry after our entrees and had to order the Tom kah soup!
Beer: Full bar and Asian beer selection. A lot of intersting custom cocktails you won’t find at your typical Thai restaurant.
Service: Good service level and language skills. Family owned feel.
Ambiance: Exceptional décor, modern chic with dark lighting and crystals and yet it still incorporates Thai culture within its paintings. The presence of Buddhas were overwhelmingly pleasant. Intricate table settings are commendable.
Overall, food quality, service, and ambiance at Nattiya Thai is very good. I withhold my final star solely due to price to portion size. A very pleasant dining experience.

it was one of the only restaurants opened on Christmas so that’s a plus. we ordered the basic pad see ew, pad thai and fried rice. I thought the servers were nice and whenever we had questions that were patient and helpful. I also thought it was awesome that we ordered, got out food and paid less than 45 minutes. the food was good and my favorite was definitely the crab fried rice! I also loved the décor!

Tried the Tom yum soup, spice rice and a fish dish. The quality off all three was average. It’s not bad but it’s not anything to rave about too.
