Chabaa Thai - San Andreas

This is my go to spot for thai foodPeriod! I stumbled upon this place 6 years ago and stood my ground! Their pad thai is pretty damn legit.

I enjoy eating here whenever I am in the city and in the areaThere is usually no wait, it is a small restaurant with a homey feel to it.

Simply the best, I wonder why the 3.5 star rating for this place that deserves a 5 star.

I struggled between 3 and four stars, but the service, price, and flavors were enough to bring it up a star. With Marnee Thai down the block, Chabaa offers unique flavors and a wider menu of Thai and other Asian-inspired foods. However, two of our plates came out partially cold, even though the taste was phenomenal. Would recommend the noodle dishes, as the a la carte plates may have some questionably cooked meats. Pricing is food for lunch, and space was plentiful. Parking can be difficult on Irving, but driving two blocks above or below should net you a spot.

I have been coming here for over 10 years and they are consistently delicious. Their noodles are my favorite, and the chicken noodle soup is my go-to when I'm feeling under the weather. The lunch specials are a great deal: 7.95, 8.95 or 9:95 for salad, appetizer, soup, and a main dish. Lunch specials until 2pm, they close at 3pm and reopen at 5pm. Happy hour from 5-8 with $2.50 beers and a good variety of appetizers and small plates. Not all the food is five star, but what I get always satisfies.
