Chiim Thai

We came up for a wedding in Carlsbad. We were looking for a quick bite and stumbled upon this restaurant. There was no wait so we're seated immediately. Server was attentive. Menu was modest and had some variety. We felt the food was authentic and very similar to the food we had in Thailand. The papaya salad (Laos style) was easily a favorite, but some may not enjoy the taste and fragrances so inquiry before ordering. Add in sticky rice and fried pork belly and you complete the dish. The Pad Thai was good, with a little squeezed lemon, the dish was both sweet and savory. The chicken satay dish (with peanut sauce) was cooked just right so it wasn't too dry. Can't go wrong with Thai tea and sticky rice with Mango. So good, we came back for dinner with the whole family of 15. They enjoyed it

As per the recommendations of many people, I decided to give CHIIM THAI KITCHEN a try. It's a small family-owned Thai restaurant that is a hole-in-the-wall in a plaza. They are located on Mission Ave & El Camino Real in the inland region of Oceanside California. I ordered their BASIL CHICKEN FRIED RICE and it was a great portion size and had spectacular flavor! I highly recommend that you customize the spice heat level on it if you're sensitive to heat. They have great control over the heat levels too. Service was fast, friendly and attentive. They aren't typically too crowded inside and that's a good thing, because the interior is VERY small. I think there's enough seating for 20 people max. But this leads to a very personalized experience; you will never be neglected. Their parking lo

Papaya salad was one of the best ones we've had (spicier than expected!). Highly recommend getting the crispy pork belly with it. Pad siew was cooked and seasoned perfectly with a delicious slight char flavor. Mango sticky rice was a great dessert and cooked fresh. Mango itself probably could be better depending on the season. Excellent service.

So fresh and delicious! Very small place and AMAZING FOOD! Braised beef panang with potatoes and holy chicken with basil stir fry. Comes with jasmine rice. We even ordered fried rice to go. Good sized portions. Spice level 0-5 and they got it right! Can’t wait to come back.

I recently discovered a hidden gem for authentic Thai food, and I’m excited to share it with anyone who loves real Thai flavors. Living in Fallbrook, we don’t have many great Asian restaurant options nearby, so I was browsing Yelp to see if anything new had opened around the area. That’s when I came across a new spot in Oceanside called CHIIM Thai—about a 25-minute drive, the same distance as going to Temecula. After reading a few reviews and checking out the photos, I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Gra Pao (chicken and a fried egg on top), I must say, it instantly reminded me of the street-food style dishes I enjoyed during my travels in Thailand. The flavor was bold, authentic, and truly satisfying. The restaurant itself is small, but it’s clean, simple, and modern. The waiter
