One of the best in the area - Edit
I’m a fan of plumeria. I’ve been here a couple times pre pandemic to current. It’s gotten better over time.
Read moreBrightly lit, the servers are knowledgeable and friendly
The menu has lots of options to choose from. I had the pineapple fried rice with curry at least once . It’s not bad.
If you want to put a twist on an old favorite switch to the wide noodles in the pad Thai.

The BEST spicy noodles around! - Edit
I came for the pad thai but saw on their online menu that their spicy noodle is their number 1 seller so I thought why not give it a try? I ordered both and while their pad thai with fried tofu was great, these spicy noodles blew it out of the water! I’ve had plenty of spicy noodles in the past but this one is SO flavorful, spicy, and savory! I ordered it with mock duck and that was a great compliment to the dish. I will definitely be coming back just for the spicy noodles!

A San Diego Legend - Edit
I remember when Plumeria opened! Thai is my favorite cuisine, so I was thrilled! The way I test out a Thai restaurant is with their Tom Kha soup (a rich, flavorful coconut milk-based soup). If the Tom Kha is amazing, it's a great restaurant! And, of course, their Tom Kha is divine! The curries are all incredible. I have tried the Pad Thai (most popular Thai food) and it's very good. Check out their unique specials, too! Plumeria is definitely recommended!

Favorite with family and friends - Edit
Plumeria was one of the best mistakes our family ever made. We were actually supposed to meet at the Thai restaurant across the street, but we got lost. Lucky for us. Plumeria blew our minds. The flavors and textures are outstanding. The service is great, and it’s so cute inside. We’ve brought our meat-eating friends and family members here, and they love it, too.

Best pad Thai outside of Bangkok - Edit
I'm something of a Pad Thai connoisseur (read: snob😉and I'm always hesitant to try new places. I'm so glad I tried it here! I got it with mock chicken and it was the best Pad Thai I've tried outside of Khao San Road. Absolutely delicious. My partner tried a different dish and had no idea it was vegan. Highly recommended.

All around excellent - Edit
Everything was well prepared with portion sizes that were just right for me. My only complaint was the Tangerine plate could have used more sauce and spice. I asked for medium spice, and the spice level was much lower than I expected.

A pretty friggen solid vegan option in San Diego - Edit
I didn’t go to the restaurant so I can’t speak for what it’s like inside but what I ordered was solid. I got the broccoli delight & the Thai spring rolls and they both were great. No regerts!

Disappointing - Edit
Long wait for seating . I was with 3 friends , their food came and I had to wait another 5 minutes for mine . The tempura chicken and vegetables were indistinguishable from each other . It was pretty tasteless and unusually for me I left half of it .

good spot, good food - Edit
this place is pretty sweet. I was pretty happy with everything. if I was a scrub, I'd be a bit bummed on the unsweetened Thai iced tea, but that wasn't any sort of deal breaker. the portions allow for take home boxes for sure. the food was worth a return visit for sure. check it out.
Read morePros: not prohibitively expensive , super decent portions
Cons: Thai iced tea wasn't sweetened much at all, the wait can be a bit long (for even a seat)

The Pad Thai is amazing. Anytime i try a new Thai restaurant I get Pad Thai and Plumeria is the standard i compare it to. Parking can be a challenge because this area is filled with great eateries and coffee shops with lots of vegan options.
