I've been here several times now to confirm my feelings and overall Must be Thai is an above average Thai food experience.

I was intimidated by the menu at first but our server, Oke, was so helpful and recommended the Singhal Chicken Curry. It was delicious!!! My husband got the Ribeye Surf & Turf Pad Thai and it was also SO good. The portion sizes were great & it was reasonably priced! Will definitely come back!

So happy that my favorite thai place in town has opened a new, beautiful space on san pedro. Based on our dinner experience yesterday the food is as top notch as the other location but the space is much more expansive! I believe it is just the soft opening for now so they are still working on their liquor license and may have a smaller menu available for now.
