Bali Thai Cafe

This restaurant was changing owner several times before it was closed permanently. They had nasi campur for $ 24 per plate. Balado salmon was not bad. Nasi goreng gailan was delish as well.

I loved Bali Thai. Went every week. But it just closed last week and a new resturaunt is now at the same spot. No fried rice. No pad Thai. No Nasi Goreng. No drunken noodles.
On a positive note: Starters/​appetizers are still good though.

Excellent flavor– we ordered Green Curry Chicken & Drunken Noodles w/​chicken and they were BOTH excellent! Take some patience with ya, though it’s worth it… ;)

This is probably the only Indonesian food you can get in San Diego, centrally located. I wouldn’t recommend to dine in cause there is a smell coming from where the restaurant is located and is not appetizing, I ordered delivery. I got the soto, gado gado salad, and the corn fritters known as frikkadel jagung. Anyway no meat dishes, I’m sure they would have added a boiled egg in the gado gado which is a delicious peanut dressing salad– a must try… Ok the soto soup, that was dumb only cause it lacked meat. I never ate it without meat but for a veggie dish it is delish! I’m going to order the rendang beef next time and gado gado salad and corn fritters next time I eat there. When you don’t have time to cook Indonesian food and you miss it, this place will suffice for me and I’m Indonesian who loves my cultures food.

This cute Thai place is literally just down the street from the WorldMark Mission Valley, less than two minutes’ walk. I love the cheery string lights and outdoor seating area. It’s quiet, which I liked a lot. We ordered yellow curry with rice, and pad see ew to go. (Pro tip: There’s a small discount for WorldMark guests!)
The curry had a great texture — a little thicker than I’m used to, but it was better that way! Great service, friendly people. We even came back the next day and just ordered rice to go with our leftovers, since the portions were ample.

Really nothing to complain about. Adjacent to multiple office buildings (incidentally, there’s a ton of parking). I’ve only been for lunch, and it’s usually relatively busy. Lots of takeout orders. «Hidden gem,» indeed. It’s tucked away from the 8, past Benihana’s. Drive past Benihana’s. Do it. Come here instead. Great service and great food. Speaking of food:
Green curry + sticky rice is a winning combination. Yum. 3 is mild, but a 1 would better suit those intolerant to any spice. Also consumed: mee goreng, pad see ew, pad thai, drunken noodles, eggplant balado, and chicken wings. The wings are savory and delicious when paired with onions and garlic and Thai spices. Get anything with shrimp or tofu… cooked well and generous portions.
You could say I’ve been here too much. Not enough, I’d say! I’ll probably be back tomorrow…

5 stars to their Indonesian fried rice!!! good customer service!

I love their Chicken Panang Curry here! Best in town! The service and food is fast. I would highly recommend this place for their curry.

We came on a rainy day. Not many people but their phone never stopped ringing cause all the take out. We order Tom yum soup with shrimp with level 9 spicy (very spicy be careful), green curry with shrimp and ikan balado. Ikan balado is a fried fish type of dish with some sauce came along. But my friend like my dish better which is green curry. Food is very authentic and friendly warm service. Young server, trending, causal, I love it. Hope will be back someday when I am in the area.

This review is from a 2 week trip to southern California I took over Christmas and New Years ²⁰¹⁵⁄₁₆. This review is from a visit on 12÷28÷15.
This is a little hole in the wall restaurant. I got there at 7:30p.m. on a rainy Thursday night during a holiday week. We were the only ones in the restaurant. I ordered I ordered green curry with pork. It was delicious. It came with bell-​pepper, eggplant, green beans and Basil. It came with Jasmine rice. You can choose your meat, chicken etc and pay a little more for upgrading your rice. I had yellow rice. Our table also ordered the drunken noodle with beef. The dinner was great and I thought the portions were more than ample. Only one other table was seated after we arrived.
If I rated this on atmosphere alone it would get 1 star. I would assume this is a big restaurant for lunch and take out food, based on their size. Our waitress Linda, was great, explaining the menu answering questions. We had a glass of wine. Nothing fancy, an Avalon Cabernet Sauvignon (they bottle wine from different regions) and Bogel Chardonnay for $ 7.00. It was happy hour pricing so we were only charged $ 3.50 a glass, which was an added bonus. I would return if I lived nearby.

This place used to be filled during lunch time. Not on this day. I was surprised when we received our food without much waiting at all, almost to fast, like the food was already waiting in the kitchen for our arrival like we had called it in (But we Didn’t). Anyway, I guess I made the wrong choice. I was peaking over to another table and was thinking, I wish I had…
OK, this was not my day I guess. Food was soso…

My office has been ordering Thai food from Bali Thai for a very long time and we usually do not have any issues with the food delivery. Today, we ordered our food, but the new delivery driver didn’t realize that we were paying with a card instead of cash and had to go back to the restaurant and get the card reader. I didn’t think anything of it and said, «No problem». We were able to eat our food while we waited for the driver to get back. After the driver came back, we completed the purchase and I thought we were set to go.
Fast forward to an hour later and the driver is back with a present and a note from Linda, the woman who took my order. She advised earlier that the driver was new and I said it’s not an issue. On the note, she apologized for the driver and said that the present was us to enjoy.
I love their food and today further displayed why their customer service is top notch.
Thanks Bali Thai (and Linda)!

From the service, to the food, to the general ambiance, this place is ALWAYS on point!

Rich flavors, delicious! Had the mee goreng with chicken, tom kaa and drunken noodles with chicken. First experience with Indonesian food, can’t wait to try more.

I loved the food and it definitely hit the spot. I asked for spicy and got exactly what I needed. It is also a short walk from the hotel so walking back after eating was just what I needed.

Ordered delivery through GrubHub. Took over an hour to deliver (lame). Had the corn fritters (meh), orange chicken (meh), chicken Pad See Ew (good), Lemongrass Beef Salad (good), and chicken wings (good). Don’t think I’ll order from them again.

DELIVERY TAKES TWO HOURS, no joke!!! We enjoyed their food despite the ridiculous wait time for delivery. So we tried to do take out but that won’t work since they don’t believe in picking up their phone…

I decided to try this Thai restaurant and I ordered the Beef Panang Curry and the chicken wings. Both were delicious and definitely will order again and will try the other dishes they offer.
I ordered for delivery and was pleasantly surprised how quick it arrived.

This place has a great variety of authentic foods. Their spring rolls are a common thing I see ordered and they are played beautifully.
Soups, pasta, curry, rolls, salads, they have a good variety.
I love their drunken noodles. The Chinese broccoli is really good. All their veggies are fresh.
I also love their Tom Kha soup. It’s sweet and coconuty but with a tangy sourness to it. So good.
You always get to pick your spiciness. Medium is pretty hot, warning!
Their prices are good for your daily lunch break.
The staff is so nice and will quickly recognize you if you come around for lunch.

Good food the best service! we come all the way from Arizona because there is not Indonesia restaurant in Arizona and the food is really good taste like a back home it’s make me really miss Indonesia I was almost cry but I didn’t.
