Rakadeka Fresh Thai Kitchen - La Jolla

The Ra Ka Fried Rice (internal size only) is absolutely delicious! Great amount of food so much for dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow. I'm so glad I found this place. I've been living in Pacific Beach for 60 years and just discovered Ra-ka-de-ka... my friend also loved her order ( whatever it was). Ra-ka Ra-ka de-ka I love you!!!

The food here is excellent, with a wide variety of choices. For lunch, the specials include salad, soup, and a mini grill. The regular duck dish is a great option if you're looking for a larger serving, perhaps to enjoy later. I particularly love the yellow curry beef, pad thai with chicken and shrimp, and the shrimp with vegetables. It's also a plus that they offer brown rice. Be sure to treat yourself to the bananas, which are fried in egg wrappers and served with honey. Happy hour starts at 3 PM and gives you a 20% discount. Sign up for the Fivestars program to earn discounts and free items. Plus, they offer delivery, which is quite rare in Pacific Beach.

Have you ever tried green papaya salad at a Thai restaurant? I hadn't until a friend ordered it while we were in Portland. If you haven’t experienced it yet, you’re in for a treat. I was surprised by the generous portion size of my salad—it was huge! It came with a hefty amount of iceberg lettuce, which was a bit confusing. Is it standard to eat papaya salad like a chicken salad? That's not how I preferred to enjoy it, so I opted for the traditional fork and left the lettuce behind. The salad was incredibly fresh, crisp, and flavorful. I highly recommend giving it a try!

Best Thai Food Chain in San Diego! Their Pad Thai with shrimp is outstanding. After returning from a vacation in Thailand, I appreciated just how amazing this food is. The fresh spring rolls and Tom Kha soup are exceptional. The staff is friendly too. I usually opt for takeout.
