    Best yellow curry and pad Thai I've had in San Diego. Probably have been to at least fifteen Thai restaurants in the county. The basil chicken is awesome too.

    Huh Thai Express is consistently fantastic food. The spice level was perfect, the flavors pop and sizzle in your mouth and their service is friendly. It’s a small mom and pop place, most take their food to go. But I highly recommend, it’s worth it. Thank you for the delicious meal.

    The food has been amazing every single time. They are great with substitutions and modifications to orders. No price gouging at all! The timeframe is very spot on when you do a pick up order. I will always drive the 15 minutes from my house for Hug Thai Express!

    Always great and they leave sweet messages on the box lids. We shrimp pad see ew #7. The shrimp were good sizes and cooked perfectly and wasn't too spicy. The house fried rice was delicious and the egg rolls crispy.

    The best Thai food in San Diego is a little hole-in-the-wall place off Baltimore in La Mesa. Fresh, delicious, made spicy to-order. Fast delivery with a smile.
