The food was delicious and explosive with sweet and savoury flavours. The service by Jereme was excellent. The atmosphere was nice. It could’ve been better with some music but still worth it. It is still a must eat. Highly recommend.

We were thrilled to actually find a truly authentic Thai restaurant here in San Diego. Since we moved from NY 3 years ago we haven’t had any luck finding one as authentic, that can be compared to the Thai restaurants in elmhurst NY Highly recommended!

Turmeric Thai Garden is a cute, hidden gem in La Jolla. We thought we were lost when we're driving to the restaurant, but there's an unassuming small plaza within the residential area. It is mostly outdoors sitting and they have heaters all around. Cute and...Read More
