Onny’s Thai- A Restaurant Review

By Kiran Jayasinghe

If you’re looking for a good Thai restaurant in San Marcos, Onny’s Thai is the restaurant for you. It is located on the corner of San Marcos Blvd and Rancho Santa Fe Rd. It’s a bit small, but it is beautifully decorated with a Thai theme. We went to have dinner at this restaurant about two weeks ago. We were seated at a nice table at the back. Behind our table, there was a television showing pictures of sceneries from Thailand and was playing music. Onny’s Thai only serves lunch and dinner.

For appetizers, we shared two orders of pot stickers. We also had Tom Yum soup with chicken, which was served in a pot that was shaped like a ring with a chimney-like hole in the middle. In the hole in the middle was a flame (the picture shows what it looked like). For our main meal, we had yellow curry with chicken, white rice, thai fried rice with chicken, and Pad Gra Pow with chicken. Pad Gra Pow is a dish of stir-fried bell peppers, onions, thai basil, green beans, and chili garlic sauce. All of our selections were extremely delicious. To drink we all had water, except for our father, who had Thai beer. In addition to Thai beer, Onny’s thai also serves wine, soda, and Thai tea. We all enjoyed our food, which tasted delicious.
The owners of this restaurant are Onny and Bill Eitel. The owners themselves work at the restaurant, since they don’t have many employees. Mr. Eitel even came up to us and asked if we wanted a spice rack!
Onny’s Thai is a great place to sit and enjoy a wonderful thai meal!
