Thai Joint Returning to Adams Avenue | Eater San Diego

"I'm glad to see the Thai Joint coming back to Adams Avenue; when it opened in 2011 in Normal Heights it served dishes like Thai samosas, pork shanks in basil sauce, and pumpkin curry, and its forced closure to make way for Heights Tavern (now The Rabbit Hole) left owner Pimwara “Patty” Thongchua heartbroken. After launching the well-received Plumeria on Park Boulevard and Chi Extraordinary Kitchen on the west end of Adams Avenue and running Hillcrest’s Asian Bistro, Thongchua is reopening Thai Joint in the space previously occupied by Tam’s Thailand Food; the new location will primarily focus on food-to-go, with just 14 seats inside and two patio tables, and is scheduled to open Thursday, May 17 under the management of her daughter Tara Tamarkin." - Candice Woo
