My husband and I went for lunch. The menu was a good size with some not so standard Thai dishes, which was a nice change. The service was great and the food was great as well. I would definitly go back. more

This was a pleasant restaurant but nothing special as far as Thai food goes. Being from the Washington, DC area, this would rate as a run-of-the-mill Thai restaraunt that you might go back to but would not seek out. Our party of six sampled summer rolls, green papaya salad, eggplant with basil, panang curry, phad see uew (?), and a... more

We were in the San Diego area for vacation with our two young boys and desperately needed to get out of the chain family restauant rut. Spice and Thai had a fun, lively atmosphere, with tables full of young adults making a lot of noise. This was fine once we got used to it and welcome, as sometimes with kids... more

I haven't been to every Thai restaurant in the U.S, but I have been to many, and this one is the best I've eaten at. Not the usual Thai standards, but their own fresher, tastier adaptations at reasonable prices. The spicy dishes are indeed hot, but they will reduce the heat on request. We found "medium" to be just right... more

After reading the reviews on here, we decided to try out Spice & Rice while on vacation in La Jolla. After walking by a few times, the decor looked inviting and the place seemed to be frequently busy. We had reservations, but didn't need them on a Monday night in late August. We were quickly seated out on the patio.... more

Great thai food for great prices. I like coconut curry sauce, so I tried all dishes maid with it and they are all great. You can get a table on the outside patio and enjoy great atmosphere. more

Nice atmosphere but child-friendly ~ there is a box of toys for toddlers to play with while waiting to be seated. There is a beautiful candle-lit patio for outdoor dining. The food was fairly good; however, it was not the best Thai we've had, as other reviewers mentioned. We had the summer spring rolls which were fresh and very flavorful.... more

The food was excellent. I ordered a cold roll type thing, can't remember the name, but it was a special, very tasty, mostly glass noodles, some thai basil, mint, coriander... Then I had the thai basil with Duck. It was fantastic, spicy savory, salty... Very good thai food, it was comparable to thai that I have had in thailand. Great... more

Recently ate at this restaurant with a friend, and we thought the food was excellent. The summer rolls that we ordered for an appetizer were amazing, as were our entrees. We also ordered sticky rice with carmelized pineapple for desert that was heaven. The decor is soothing (wonderful outdoor patio with a fountain), and the service was incredibly good. Also,... more

Upon entering you are greeted by a flowing fountain and the aroma of thai cuisine. I came here with a group of friends and we came away satisfied. We were looking for an affordable (around 10-15$ per plate) nice place to eat and we found it. Their pad thai was good and service was not all that bad. If you're... more
