Star Anise Thai Cuisine: Authentic Thai Flavors in San Diego, CA

The Best Thai Restaurant in this area. You won't be disappointed dining here. The place is spacious and clean, perfect for a family dinner.

Went for lunch. We were served a complimentary salad. Then spring rolls and we tried the shrimp and pineapple fried rice. Service was wonderful. It was nice sitting out in the back plenty of parking.

Great portion sizes for the price you pay. Average price you would pay compared to other restaurants. I got the cashew chicken and that sauce was absolutely delicious. Told them I like spicy and they delivered that heat. Some places you tell you want spicy and they don’t really put it because they’re afraid people will send it back for being TOO spicy. But, not here. Will definitely be coming back. Got my bang for its buck here.

we love coming to this restaurant, when we used to live in San Diego. its good to be back and eat their delicious food. Thank you to Tina, for recommending the Coconut Crusted Shrimp. The staff is always nice and very friendly here

Stumbled upon this gem while Doordashing and had to come back and try it myself! The staff was immediately helpful and inviting. The food is amazing. Definitely recommended even as a Doordash option

Definitely would not have found this place if a friend who lived in the area didn't mention it. A real hidden gem here when it comes to Thai food. I got the Tom Yum soup and it was so warm and cozy and actually so flavorful! Got it with some shrimp and really liked how they put such large shrimp in there. Overall it was also quite the perfect temperature. Not too hot. Not too cold and it was very nice going down the throat. Also got the Fresh Shrimp Spring Rolls and asked for no vermicelli. I was a very nice, healthy way to get some veggies and protein in. Peanut sauce on the side was absolutely delicious. Also really like the plum sauce that came with. Husband got the Stir Fried Spicy Bamboo with Chicken. It really look like a nutritious meal with all the vegetables in there, including the bell peppers and eggplant along with a bamboo. They also use chicken breast here which was really nice. It came with a side of rice so overall a very nice source of protein, carbs and vegetables in one! Friend got the yellow curry with chicken and she seemed to like it! This also came with rice and she put it straight into the bowl with the curry and it seemed like a good one for sure! They also got the cream cheese puffs to share as the appetizer and I could actually see how well-stuffed they were with the cream cheese mixture! Shell also was really crispy and husband said they were pretty good and that the filling was actually very nice!

I just went there with my friends today. The food is fantastic! I really appreciate the wait staff. They're super attentive and kind. I especially like their soft shell crab dish, hard to find in a Thai restaurant.

Pad Thai and grilled meat are my favorite here. The food tastes good and best price here!!!
