  My husband and I were pleasantly surprised by the great food for such a newly open restaurant. The food was very authentic, fresh, delicious and the amount of food was just right. The staff was great. The restaurant is a little too small to accommodate a large crowd which I am sure that once the word spreads out of how good this place is, they will need a bigger location. We are so excited to have such a great place in Santee.

  Ordered takeout for Beef Pad See Ew and chicken pad Thai. Price was also cheaper than other places in Santee! I like how you can order online directly on their website. Pretty easy to navigate and can omit or add proteins or sides to it. Pickup was a breeze, food was ready in 15 mins. Pad Thai Chicken : the noodles had a good texture and the dish itself was not dry. It tasted really good and was cooked to my liking! One of my gripes with Pad Thai is when a place does not add enough sauce to the point where the noodles are stuck to each other. Gen Thai has a good ratio of noodles and sauce. Very Delicious! Pad See Ew: this was my favorite! The noodles were cooked perfectly and the sauce they used was so good! Perfectly sauced again and the beef was cooked to my liking. Would get again! I think I may have found my go to Thai place in Santee. Thank you!

  I heard about this place on lakeside fb page. I got the drunken noodles with the combination meats and a Thai ice tea. Everything was awesome except the chicken. The chicken in the noodles eas very dry. I just took it out. I also asked for a spice of 6 and got a 1..lol The place is new. They were slammed last night. I get it. My drunken noodles were great. The best part... the fish. The fish made up for the chicken. Freakin awesome. The Thai tea was great too.

  Gen Thai in Santee just opened today, and I think I might have been their very first customer! You’d never know it was their first day — everything was running smoothly, the service was friendly and attentive, and the food came out hot and perfectly cooked. We ordered the Crispy Basil Chicken, Pad See Ew, and Pra Ram. Every dish was packed with flavor, perfectly balanced, and the portions were very generous. The Crispy Basil Chicken in particular was outstanding — light, crisp, and full of fresh basil and spice. The restaurant is clean, welcoming, and everything from food quality to service felt dialed in already. I’m seriously impressed and excited to have another great Thai option in Santee. Can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu!
