Aaharn By Koon Thai

I'm working in the airline industry. I had a layover in San Diego and found this Thai restaurant was not far from the hotel. I went to try and wasn't disappointed. The food was amazing and they made it so similar from what we have in Thailand. The service was second to none. I highly recommend 👍

My visit to Aaharn was a positive experience. Although I asked for a moderate 5/10 spice level, the food turned out spicier than expected. The curries, which come with rice, were quite tasty overall. The service was excellent, with the staff ensuring our comfort. The atmosphere was pleasant, offering a quiet and conducive environment for hanging out and conversation. It's worth noting that the entrance is on the side, through the tap room, and the restrooms are located one floor below, accessible via stairs.

Very nice Thai restaurant. Food was good, took the Tom yum soup and the curry. Staff was good. I tried level 8 hotness and it was hot (though manegeable). If you are from Asia used to eating normal spicy food, take a 6 or a 7. Probably only gripe is that they could have a larger serving for the soup and curry. But it's really hard to find an authentic taste here in the US too so I guess that's fine.

Auntie Linh (or Lyn), you've an absolute gem and AAHARN by Koon Thai is very blessed to have you. From start to finish, you made me feel like family, checked on me frequently, and just made me incredibly welcomed at the restaurant. I stumbled upon AAHARN by Koon Thai after a massive craving for some Thai food, and let's just say, AAHARN delivered. They delivered hard. The prices are a bit high, but you get an insanely generous portion. Plus, it's a Thai restaurant in Little Italy. I wasn't one bit surprised. My favorite dish of the evening was the Galangal Coconut Broth. Best. Freaking. Soup. Ever. I enjoyed this more than my entree. I could have this soup for days, if not weeks. Well seasoned. Well cooked. The toppings and meat were all fresh. I'm legit salivating thinking about this. If you're looking for an addition to your meal, and don't want to settle for a cliche appetizer, I strongly encourage adding this dish to your order. My entree of the evening was the Pad Thai Tiger Prawn. The noodles definitely reminded me of my time in Bangkok. Each ingredient was well-prepared, including the ground peanuts that had an alluring authentic taste and aroma. I was a bit so-so on the tiger prawns, as they were a tad bit smaller than I'm typically used to. They were also grilled, and you can smell the smoke and fumes in each and every bite. Again, I think it didn't add too much for me. Overall, the pad thai was decent, not the best I've had, but with the generous portions, I'd definitely consider ordering this again. Thank you, AAHARN by Koon Thai for such a lovely evening. Y'all are a great addition to the Little Italy community, and I can't wait to try some of your Auntie Linh (or Lyn), I'll see you again soon! I'm already referring my friends to this place!

Super tasty Thai food. Great location because you could grab a drink and sit outside. Will be back!
