Thai Thai West Mission: Authentic Thai Cuisine with Bold Flavors and Warm Hospitality in San Marcos

As someone who has been to Thailand multiple times this place deserves 5 stars all around for their Thai flavors and hospitality. First time visiting, was not expecting the portion size to be so large. For 2 guests we could have shared a curry, but we wanted different options. My Thai Iced Tea was the size of a super big gulp cup and taste amazing. We shared the spices damage, papaya salad, then each got a curry (panang and kao soy) all at level 5 for spice. Each dish was incredible, large portion, brought leftovers home. Family style portions. Level 5 was perfect, made our skin glow, eyes tear up, and chug my Thai Iced Tea, but still enjoy all the flavor. Highly recommend coming here. The staff was SO NICE! Had great recommendations, I ordered the Kao Soy from their recommendation. Plenty of parking. Clean restroom. Offered take-out. (Actually, a lot of take-out orders were picked up while we ate.)

Loved this location! Delicious food, attentive and hospitable service. From the get-go, I loved the ambience. The servers were incredibly helpful, attentive and professional. The presentation and taste overall was high quality! I’m a huge fan of Pad See Ew and truly enjoyed the spice and flavor that this restaurant provided. A lot of things (that we didn’t order as well) are made in-house, which makes me appreciate the place and its quality much more. Highly recommend if you want a delicious and authentic Thai fix!

This Thai restaurant used to be owned by another person and the current owners have completely remodeled and made it into a beautiful Thai restaurant. The food is excellent the service fantastic and even lunch is a major treat. Plenty of good choices for lunch or dinner. And also good for small groups with the way the seating is now arranged after the very extensive remodel. I highly recommend visiting it. I had the Drunken Noodles which is a whole dish into itself for lunch but I included a picture of the first very nice appetizer dish that was included with lunch. This meal, and a Thai tea, with tax it came to $21 which I feel is almost unheard of nowadays. You will not leave hungry. My wife and I had dinner monday night on the 11th. It was sincerely one of the best Thai meals I have had in my life anywhere between Hawaii, Washington State and Washington D.C. High quality foods prepared to high standards. Absolutely delicious. The remodeling produced a beautiful interior. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful Thai restaurant in this area.

“We came to this restaurant because we wanted authentic Thai food with bold flavors. The standout dish we ordered is “Tum Tard” which is a large serving of som tam that includes crispy pork, boiled eggs, and fried chicken wings all in one tray, accompanied by stir-fried rice noodles that are served separately but included in the same menu with the Tam Tard. This time, I ordered it with a spiciness level of 8 out of 10. I ended up crying while eating because it was the perfect level of spiciness that I love. It's one of the charms of enjoying spicy Thai food. Just think about the experience in Thailand! Another dish that I love is “Crying Tiger” Did you know??? “Crying Tiger" is a popular Thai dish typically made with grilled beef that is marinated in a mixture of herbs and spices. The name "Crying Tiger" is thought to refer to the idea that the flavor is so delicious it makes the tiger cry. The dish is often served with a spicy dipping sauce called "Nam Jim Jaew," which enhances the flavor of the grilled meat. It's usually accompanied by sticky rice and fresh vegetables. The combination of savory, spicy, and aromatic flavors makes it a favorite among those who enjoy Thai cuisine. For us!! This restaurant offers authentic flavors. It might be because I'm Thai and I order the taste that I enjoy. The iced coffee has a rich and balanced flavor. The staff is attentive and friendly. The restaurant is clean, the tables are tidy, and the atmosphere is great. This is definitely one of my favorite restaurants!"

There has been a Thai restaurant at this location for over 20 years. I noticed a new name and ownership and decided to check it out. I had been here prior and it was OK back then, a bit old looking. But now the decor has been updated and it looks much more enticing! Lovely decor, calm vibe with relaxing music softly playing. The staff was very attentive and friendly. The menu was easy to choose from. The food was generous in size and tasted wonderful. I ordered the lunch special L2, wide noodles with chicken and lots of basil. It tends to be on the spicy side which I love. I'm glad this restaurant received the boost it needed and I hope that they will attract more clients. I paid $20 for my food and a pot of hot tea

Pineapple curry with medium spice level was perfect. Thai iced teas are huuuge. Booths are larger than average. Very family friendly spot- they actually gave us a special plastic kids plate with a cup holder for our toddler along with a small plastic closed cup with a straw which was really cool. Service was exceptional.

EDIT: spoke with William on the phone and they gave me a credit for next time. Will be changing my review to five starts for excellent customer service! Ordered over the phone combo spicy fried rice with extra meat level 3 spicy. They put in the order wrong and gave me a plain fried rice, this was not my fault because I said spicy fried rice and she even asked what level spicy I wanted. I wouldn’t normally be upset but it was $25 plus tax. It was past closing time when I noticed the mistake, but I gave them a call anyway. Someone answered and I explained what happened then they hung up on me! The food is really good and we love coming here, just an unfortunate situation that I hope they can remedy. I included a picture of the regular rice that was supposed to be spicy and the spicy fried rice they got correct. It would’ve been 5 starts without the mistake.
