Spices Thai Kitchen | Our Story
Where It Started
In 1994, Spices Thai Kitchen opened in Del Mar with one conviction: authentic Thai cooking deserved a permanent home here. That founding devotion has never wavered — and neither has the line of neighbors who've made it their own.
The Kitchen's Philosophy
Every dish is the result of meticulous sourcing, time-honored Thai recipes, and carefully calibrated spice levels. From the golden richness of a well-built curry to the crisp perfection of a spring roll, the craft is always visible.
A Space Worth Savoring
The dining room is anchored by a sweeping floor-to-ceiling botanical mural — a sleek, sun-drenched space that's as welcoming as it is beautiful. Spacious and unhurried, it's a room you settle into rather than rush through.
The Tea That Started a Legend
Ask any regular what to order first and the answer is always the Thai iced tea — a creamy, perfectly sweetened pour that loyal guests call the best they've ever tasted.
Del Mar's Gathering Place
Families who came here as children now bring their own kids. The pet-friendly patio welcomes the whole household — there's always a table waiting, and always something worth coming back for.
