Thai Burger Company

I tried the original burger today with an egg added and a side of the shrimp balls. Fantastic. The burger was sweet and delicious. The shrimp balls were delightful. The staff are all fun, kind people. I definitely recommend going in!

These 2 guys have a food truck at the Japanese gardens. The food was great! Fries were as fresh as could be, they sliced the potatoes 🥔 right in front of us. Everything was flavorful and spice was on point, not too much. Also, the guys were super chill and helpful because we're visiting and never had Thai.

They had a stall in Balboa Park when I went last night next to the Japanese garden. Was not expecting how flavorful and delicious the burger was going to be. I got the original and Thai ice tea which was also great. They were very friendly. I'm visiting family here and live in Jersey and regret not being able to go back to try the other food and get more. Definitely hitting up their storefront next time I visit. Try them you will be surprised!

I called Thai Burger Company to share a legitimate concern about their past partnership with Parfait Party Maid Cafe (they hosted them for an event). I was polite, anonymous, and just wanted to warn them about serious labor violations Parfait Party is under investigations with (government agencies such as DLSE, FTC, OLSE, etc for complaints regarding misclassification, unpaid workers, deceptive hiring). I felt the need to alert this small business so that they may more thoroughly think about future collaboration with not only Parfait Party but other exploitative organizations. Instead of listening or giving a business contact, the owner/manager contacted her husband. He then arrived on the phone, spoke extremely fast, immediately doubted me, accused me of being a scammer, demanded my personal identity in a predatory manner (while refusing to give any business contact, a blatant display of hypocrisy), and kept interrupting with "tell me what's going on right now." I made it clear I was warning them anonymously to protect myself, but they both didn’t listen and responded with aggression. If he truly thought I was a scammer, he would’ve hung up, but he went out of his way to make me feel small and a burden for trying to warn them in protecting their customer base. He had the audacity to approach my warning, (where I also told him he was talking very fast and not giving me a chance to clarify my goal) with, “I'm really busy, I'm giving you my time so you have to explain." When it was MY free time that I went out of TO WARN THEM of an exploitative business which they were accomplices to. On top of that, the manager/owner’s husband claimed they "weren't partnered" yet they still hosted Parfait Party. The husband claimed that Parfait Party just “showed up and did their thing,” as if Thai Burger Company were denying public association with the very group they hosted. If the husband acted with surprise at the issues regarding Parfait Party and with respect to my warning, this review would not be necessary. I'm disgusted and horrified a local spot would treat a concerned visitor this way and partner with a group under scrutiny for exploitation. If Thai Burger Company had been respectful to my call, the initial collaboration with Parfait Party would be seen as the Maid Cafe exploiting the Burger Company’s business. At the end, since he behaved so inappropriately, I said, “I [felt] uncomfortable and [was] ending the call.” I was crying by the end. I gave them my time to warn them about a predatory business, but they gave me nothing but hostility and invalidation. This abusive display made me feel very unsafe and disrespected. I urge customers to pay close attention to the way their staff base is being treated, as these are not good signs for a local San Diego business to display, especially in places that are private like in a phone call.

This place is a gem, and is one of my few must-visit spots any time I’m in town. Every item on the menu is fantastic, but if it’s your first time, try the classic bbq pork burger. Filling, affordable, and an incredible flavor that I haven’t experienced anywhere else. The owner and chef, Perry, is the best - you’ll be treated like a regular on your first visit and you’ll feel like a regular by your second. Just an overall great establishment run by people who love their community and have a real passion for making quality food. Keep an eye out for their food truck too!

The food was filling and delicious! The Spicy BBQ Chicken Burger had perfect spice and amazing flavor, and the owner was great to talk to! 10/10 recommend.

Very delicious. Personable and with eating there. Thanks for the good food

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. The krapow burger with a Thai iced tea is literally heaven on earth. I'm not even joking when I say I daydream about it lol I moved further away so I'm not able to go into the restaurant like I used to but anytime I hear their food truck is going to be in my area I always show up. The owner is also super cool and down to earth. 10000/10!! Sut yod 🇹🇭

Customer service is amazing, owner super personable and is passionate about his food. If want something unique and different try the classic bbq burger you wont regret it

Was lucky to try Thai Burger Company when they parked outside the Feybl event at Toluca Lake LA. Just the name had me intrigued and It smelled amazing. I ordered the #2 spicy burger and also #3 loaded fries. By the first fry I was hooked! So loaded with flavor! The Burger packed a spicy punch. as promised. Order -#1 if you don't like spicy. So unusual with the sticky rice instead of a bun, which added to the whole experience. But the best part was the owner that served us- Pari. Such a friendly vibe and he was so excited for people to try his food. He said the main restaurant was San Diego, but sometimes they make appearances in LA! Look out for them. Highly recommend!

This place needs to be on your list! Everything I've tried here is totally delicious. I've ordered a couple of times on DoorDash, so I have no idea about the ambience of the restaurant, but they pack their food really well for delivery - for instance, the Crab Rangoon we ordered were vented and still crispy by the time they got to us. My favorite entrée is the Classic BBQ pork rice bowl (savory pork with a slightly sweet and caramelized glaze), but I also really loved the Spicy Kaprao rice bowl with an egg on top. Both are drizzled in this incredible aioli they make. I do wish the bowls came with a little more meat for the price ($17), but honestly, the flavor makes it worth it for me. Their Thai tea is tasty and lately it's been on sale (buy one get one free). Just before forewarned that it comes in a cup with ice, not in a mason jar like the picture - that sort of messed me up on my first delivery because I was at work and was going to save it for later but the ice watered it down. I'm looking forward to continuing to try everything they make, since this is definitely a new go-to for us.

I don't even know where to start...how in the world we missed this spot. Husband, son and I tried this place for the first time...boy oh boy everything we ordered was delicious. Worth every penny. I ordered their best seller classic bbq pork burger my goodness it's delicious and packed with so much flavor. Husband ordered spicy Thai bbq chicken and let me tell you the spicy that comes with this burger was heaven. Son got chicken stay fries it's really good. Service is on point especially for entertaining my son lol The restaurant has a nice arcade, couch with TV, have a small outside dining and of coarse an inside. THIS PLACE IS A MUST TRY! Definitely come back for more

There was a car tinting service in the same plaza so I decided to grab a drink here as I waited. Even though I ordered just a Thai tea, the person that took my order and made my drink was friendly and conversational. He made the time pass by that I was able to enjoy and finish my drink at the same time my car appointment was done. I was satisfied with such an experience as I was waiting for quite a bit under the hot sun.

I've been to their physical location and the UCSD farmers market and this one guy (I think he said he was the owners husband?) is so rude. The first time at the physical location I had an okay time, I didn't feel compelled to leave a review bc my experience was not memorable but the second time he was so rude and condescending to my friend that he made her cry. That's just so disgusting, leave your bad attitude at home. Not worth the average forgettable food imo. Be nicer and don't brag about being married to the owner just to be a dick.

Tried the Thai Burger Company at the Tuesday UC San Diego Farmers Market. I ordered the #10 which came out to $18.00 even, which I paid for with my credit card. Food options: They have burgers (sticky rice as buns), fries, or bowls. Pros: -delicious. The pork was grilled to perfection. -large portion size! I was hungry and ate everything but this could have easily been multiple meals. Cons: -none

Great food, the fry bowl incorporates a solid mix of flavors and the fry's themselves aren't to greasy or filling. The whole meal comes together yo be filling without being bloating. Furthermore the burger is clever and works well. The atmosphere of the restaurant is quaint, the outdoor seating with the heater is a nice touch. Finally their service was great, the food came out quickly and the workers were genial. Great overall experience!!

I have heard multiple people rave about Thai Burger Company, so I thought I'd give it a try! I ordered the rice bowl with the spicy krapao pork from their food truck. It can take a little while for your order to be called, as they alternate between taking orders and preparing the meals in the food truck. The sauce and the runny egg mixed in with the rice, making every bite so delicious and savory. I will definitely be getting this dish again, as well as exploring other options on the menu, in the future!

The owner was so kind and hospitable. He took his time to have a conversation and get to know us. The stores ambiance literally was great, FREE arcade machines, board games, and even YouTube playing on a TV if you just want to chill on the couch and eat. The food was so tasty, if you're looking for a new take on Thai food or your traditional burger, this is the place to go. The menu itself is streamlined to have not too many items that would drown you when you come in. The selection displayed is great. The fries are something I would recommend to new people for sure, the portions are enough to feed 2 (or even 3).

Yo I love these guys!!! Their food truck came to an event I was at twice and everytime IT WAS SO GOOD! The owner and the worker are seriously the absolute best! So nice to be able to support such down to earth genuine people who also thrown down in the kitchen! Such an awesome concept as well!

I was volunteering at the Japanese friendship garden for a day event, and saw that there were two different food trucks outside. We had a lunch break and I wandered my way over to the Thai Burger Company - wow I am so glad I did. Perry (like the platypus) recommended me the spicy kapraow pork burger as someone that can handle spice. I am SO glad I tried this, it was incredible! Flavors on point, and I love that the burger uses sticky rice instead of a bread bun so this may also be good for you gluten sensitive folks out there too. Perry is super kind, funny, and overall a fantastic owner/chef. The vibes are great and I would return in a heartbeat. Can't wait to try one of the bowls next time!

Overview: Amazing service, fresh and tasty food Perry and Peter are so welcoming and friendly, top-teir service! I came to the Otay Ranch Tree Lighting and followed my nose to the delicious smells coming from their canopy, I had to stop by. They have a physical restaurant and along with the Otay Ranch Farmers' Market on Tuesdays, they can be found at the SDSU Farmers' Market on Thursdays! ---- Classic BBQ Pork Fries $17: - It's like Thai style carne asada fries - They hand cut the potatoes right there and fry them up fresh - The fries are topped with BBQ pork, cheese, aoili, and green onions - Can also be topped with an egg (highly recommend) - Savory, creamy, delicious Chicken Satay Burger $12: - Unique idea where they use sticky rice buns instead of bread buns - Burger fusion with chicken satay, peanut sauce, red onions, cucumbers, aajard dressing - The red onions, cucumbers, and dressing brings a fresh flavor to creamy, nutty flavor ---- Overall: Unique, yummy Thai fusion, wonderful service

Food is to die for, and not to mention the customer service, favorite place in San Diego, by far!

Sweetest owner. Best Thai tea I've ever had and the pork rice burgers are so unique and good. Highly recommend

Got to try the Thai Bbq Burger, and it was soooo good!!! Didn't know what I was missing out on till I tried this, and it was hot and fresh, super tasty not salty. The sticky rice really complimented the beef patty, literally amazing mixes of taste! It was greatly paired with a cup of Thai Tea, also really yummy and sweet! Perfect pair to get here. Thanks so much!!!

11-19-24: Food booth at Otay Ranch Town Center Farmer's Market. Love the concept of burgers using rice patties. We tried the Fried chicken over rice bowl topped with egg. Delicious with cucumber slices, fish sauce and combination of sweet and spicy flavors.

This place is a gem, and is one of my few must-visit spots any time I'm in town. Every item on the menu is fantastic, but if it's your first time, try the classic bbq pork burger. Filling, affordable, and an incredible flavor that I haven't experienced anywhere else.

Just an overall great establishment run by people who love their community and have a real passion for making quality food. Keep an eye out for their food truck too!

The owner Perry is so sweet! The burgers were super tasty and the Thai teas were just right!! We will definitely be back!

Amazing Thai Iced Tea!!!!! Really tasteful and great for a really sunny day! Discovered their food truck at Kobey's Swap Meet at Pechanga Arena!

Alright so this is one of those "my experience was so good i finally made a yelp account" kind of reviews. I met them at the sunset market in Oceanside on 2/20/2025 at their food truck, I ordered the spicy pad kaprao fries, and the wait was a bit long (they were very busy and only had 2 people) but the guy running the spot was super nice and gave me a free Thai tea (delicious) and an extra egg with my food for the wait (a blessing considering egg prices these days). I soon after got my food, holy f*** It was awesome I don't even know exactly what I was eating tbh but it was delicious, some of the best street food I've ever had at the Oceanside market and I bet their physical location is even better. I can't wait to go back to try more

Amazing. The owners are great people and hard working Americans. The food is awesome especially if you're looking for some calories for the day. I have had the burger which is a clever hand held piece of delicious meat with Thai sticky rice as the bun and the chicken fries which is balanced well with fresh cucumber. I recommend asking for a whiff of spicy if you're not Thai.

A unique fusion place; the food was pretty good and had a good level of heat. The burgers were tasty but felt like a little something was missing (veggies) and wished the rice was fried a little harder to make holding it easier. The pad kraprao burger was packing serious heat and was really tasty. That and the pad kraprao fries were super delicious. Nobody could stop eating the fries. Speaking of which the fries themselves are pretty amazing, reminiscent of a certain Cali-famous chain; they're a bit thinner which added to the appeal. The restaurant itself is a bit on the minimal side, I can see them catering to quick grab and go or small groups/solo diners. One big challenge is the parking lot, which has limited parking and probably a crowded during the lunch rush. Overall, solid experience with a unique fusion take. Worth a try if you're looking for something a little different but still packs a good flavor punch!

This place is pretty cool and unique. I've never had a "burger" between sticky rice before coming here. I tried the spicy pork burger with an egg for lunch and came back later in the week and tried the bbq pork bowl. I preferred the bowl, but I may like the bbq pork or chicken on the burger more than the spicy pork. I'm a mild to medium spicy guy and this was a little more spicy than I would have preferred. But if you like spicy it's not bad at all. Prices are pretty good though at only about $10 for the burgers. The eggs on burger and bowl were good. My only small complaint for the bowl was that the sticky rice is too sticky for the bowl. It was hard to eat it with a plastic fork/spoon because it wouldn't separate.

The food is amazing, the owners are nice and the place is clean. They also have the best Thai tea in San Diego! I only wish they were open on Monday and Tuesday as well.

loaded fries, Thai style hamburgers, Its in the corner of the shopping mall. this is a physical location from the food truck. We all know and love. After 4 PM, deliver on base with a five dollar delivery fee. They do not have restrooms so keep that in mind.

Foods delicious and hits the spot everytime! Tried out their combo special of any burger, appetizer, and choice of water or canned soda. Amazing value for a filling meal. Service is always friendly and restaurant is chill with a cool much station in the background. I will always come back for their burgers and Thai tea!

For December nights in balboa this year we tried the bbq pork and the spicy pad kaprao burgers and they were super tasty! I'd never had a burger with the buns switched out for rice. Though I loved the flavors, serving size, and spiciness it was a bit too much rice and the whole thing was pretty sticky. The cooks and people in the booth were super cool and friendly, letting us take pics of them while they made the patties and eggs. We also got the Thai iced tea with boba and again, though it was good, it was a little too sweet and the boba was really gummy. I'm sure their actual location will have better quality and freshness than just a pop up in the park.

The rice burger is good but just for the first day. I bought three of them to be delivered because I'm pregnant with major vomit episodes. I made a mistake of buying it all at the same time because the second day the rice was SOOOoO hard. Couldn't salvage it honestly. It sucks because 20$ went down the drain.

I saw the food truck at the farmers market and was excited to try it. The photos they had up on their truck made it look really good. But what I got didn't look anything like the photo. The bun is made of rice patties instead of bread but it just looked like someone slabbed rice on top of the meat without even trying to mold it into the shape of the patty. The meat was thin with a rubbery texture. And even though they put spicy sauce in it, the taste was bland as though they attempted to put spicy sauce on it to cover up the lack of flavor.

Small place near the base. After driving by the sign for a couple of months, we decided to go in to try. We were more than pleasantly surprised by our Thai fusion food. We had the classic BBQ pork fries. These are very similar to Carne Asada soda fries or bulgogi fries, with a delicious flavor profile and a unique sauce. I certainly enjoyed them, but I do not think they are the headliner. Definitely I feel like this was a play it safe option. Our "burger" was served with a rice patty bun and the satay inside. It was messy, but wow. This is the dish that will bring us back. Our regular commute to the area ends in about a month, So I will definitely have to make another couple trips before that happens. It will be worth coming out of the way to visit again after that.

Delicious sushi burgers, 10/10 very clean and solid! Definitely ordering more from this place !

Hands down the best vendor at the farmers market. Get the spicy chicken bowl (you can thank me later)

These guys are such a class act. Havent been served food by people this cool and friendly in a minute! We tried them at the Japanese friendship garden, and their food is amazing. Got the loaded fries and a Thai iced tea, and they gave my kids a sticky bun thai burger FOR FREE. We all agreed everything was delicious, and we would definitely recommend.

Actually, very good. The sticky rice for the bun is really a cool idea and really tastes good

I don't know which is happier, my tummy or my taste buds! I was a little skeptical, I mean Thai and burgers?! Amazing! Do yourself a favor, eat at Thai Burger Co.!

I've been living on base for 2 years now and every weekend I look forward to the Thai food truck! Always has some amazing food and amazing people.

Even tho I have only had a few of their plates .. I love love love this place. Easy ordered 3 times. The service is great and on time always. I definitely would recommend this place and keep coming back myself.

I was blessed by these wonderful people with a burst of big flavor. The chicken satay fries and spicy pork burger with sticky rice bun is the absolute bomb of flavor I imagined a place name Thai burger company would come with. I also had the green tea with boba which was the perfect refreshing touch to an awesome meal. The whole vibe of this place is very chill and laid back they ladies working this day were patient and kind. I'm definitely coming back for a lot more. J

I've had the privilege to visit this incredible food truck at kobeys swapmeet in San Diego! The person working was a one man army, he kept the place nice and clean, also made the food and took the orders. Customer Service was impeccable. If the food truck was that nice I could only imagine how wonderful the restaurant is. I definitely recommend the food.

Got a bbq pork burger and the spicy kaprao fries at their stand at December Nights at Balboa Park. Perfect amount of heat on the fries and the sauce on the pork was incredible! So excited to have found this place and excited to get food from here again.

Epic classic Barbecue Pork fries! Plenty of food and Delicious...! Will definitely come back!

This place is awesome! They have a nice combo going on right now where it's a burger, appetizer, and a drink for $15. Service is great too

Valeria at the Thai Burger was fabulous. Never been there before, she explained the menu and and made excellent suggestions. I had the spicy pork burger with loaded fries. My companions tried the regular pork burger and some seafood balls. All of it was excellent. We will definitely be back.

Valerie was a very sweet cashier, i've never tried thai before, but she helped me with recommendations, and was very accommodating to the things im picky about in my food lol. great restaurant, definitely coming back soon!

Great service, and food was bursting with flavor. The girl helping me was very friendly and patient. I ended up getting the peanut chicken and spicy bbq chicken and both were outstanding. All Killer no filler, and good value for the price.

For those who tired of the normal way of BURGER. We are talking about normal buns, meet, cheese, lettuce, tomato and whatever you name it. Check out this place and you will discover your new favorite go to! I love it, people there are so sweet! Can't wait to go back again!!

Food was delicious and service was great. Such a wonderful experience. Highly recommend the food!

Easily one of the best lunches in National City. The food was delicious, served in ample portions and was freshly made in a timely manner. I went with the classic BBQ Pork Burger, fries and coconut tea with boba. The one person working both the kitchen and the counter was incredibly polite and gave great advice on the menu. I will definitely be coming back.
