The Thai Society Restaurant in Encinitas, California, is a beloved gem among locals and tourists alike. Customers rave about its authentic Thai cuisine, particularly the Pad Thai, which many describe as being even better than what one can find in Bangkok. Nalinrat Dardarananda highlights the original flavors and also recommends the refreshing dessert, Fried Banana Ice Cream.
Puvanai Dardarananda, a Thai local, emphasizes the crispy pork belly as a must-try, confirming the restaurant's authenticity. He appreciates the attentive service and the availability of Singha beer and Boba milk Thai tea, making it a great place for casual dining or takeout. Ryan Smith praises the fantastic presentation and flavorful dishes, asserting that it is one of the best Thai eateries in the San Diego area.
Others, like Joanna Naschold, were so impressed with their takeout experience that they can't wait to dine in. Thitiporn Sangmanee echoes this sentiment, sharing that the papaya salad and Pad Thai paired beautifully, further enhanced by the charming decor and excellent service. With twelve years in the community, Thai Society Restaurant continues to be a staple that delivers on taste and ambiance.

Pad Thai was so original event better than in Bangkok. The dessert “Fried Banana Ice cream” was also refreshing.

Don’t miss crispy pork belly. It’s a must! As a Thai person, this place is authentic. Pad Thai is excellent. Service is good and attentive. There were a lot of take out orders as well. Singha beer is available here. Another recommendation is their Boba milk Thai tea.

I love the presentation the owner and staff were fantastic. And some of the best flavorful Thai food you will have in San Diego. Thai Society has been here for twelve years in Encinitas and is a staple of this town.

Full disclosure, I ordered on DoorDash. So my review is only on the food and the food is amazing. Best Pad Thai I ever had and all the other dishes were phenomenal. I can't wait to visit this place in person.

We had papaya salad, pad thai and crispy pork belly. All of them were amazing!! We finished everything. Pad thai and papaya salad go so well together too. The restaurant was also very cute, I love the decoration on the wall. The service was amazing too. Will definitely revisit.

We order take out from here at least a couple times a month. We love the curries, noodle dishes, most recently, I discovered Pra Nam (sp?), which is my new favorite. I get it with shrimp.

Shocked that this place doesn’t have all 5 star reviews. It is by far the best Thai spot in north county SD! All their curries are amazing (Tends to be on the spicy side) and we also love getting their drunken noodles. A must-try!

Had an amazing business lunch today. We sat outside in the front patio and enjoyed a Thai Salad and two orders of Chicken fried rice. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of delicious flavors.Thai Salad was fresh and bursting with flavor. Service was excellent and attentive to all our needs. If you love Thai food this is the place for you.
