Spice & Rice Thai Kitchen - La Jolla

    • Description:

    • The lunch crowd at this attractive Thai restaurant consists of shoppers and tourists, while dinner is quieter. The food is excellent, with polished presentations and expert renditions of classics like pad Thai, satay, curry, and glazed duck. The starters often sound as good as the entrees. Consider making a grazing meal of house specialties like "gold bags" (minced pork, vegetables, glass noodles, and herbs wrapped in crispy rice paper and served with earthy plum sauce) or prawns with yellow curry lobster sauce; the crispy calamari is flavored with tamarind and chili sauces. The romantically lit covered front patio has a secluded garden feel, and inside tables also have indirect lighting. Despite the passage of time, this all-around satisfier remains something of an insider's secret.

      Great atmosphere!

    • Excellent food. The patio is the best dining area with the candles and twinkle lights. A bit pricy but certain dishes, such as the yellow curry with coconut in it are delicious!

      Consistently reliable Thai food

    • Spice and Rice offers basic Thai fare, but stands out because it is consistently reliable unlike many other Thai restaurants which are hit and miss. Reasonable value as well.
