Pacifica Thai Cuisine

I give this a 3 out of ten. I spend almost 30 dollars on rice, chicken curry soup, shrimp pad Thai and beef (what there was of it)curry. Everything had the same red curry seasoning, which I suspect was from a can. The Pad Thai tasted like linguini with tomato sauce. The beef dish had about 1.5 ounces of beef, and was tough and grizzly. The shrimp in the Pad Thai tasted like it had been refrozen several times (dry, chewy-yuck, and the vegitibles in the beef dish were semi frozen...probably out of birdseye frozed bag...very disappointing...pass on this one.

I LOVE this place! I have been to many Thai restaurants from San Francisco to Palo Alto and one place in Anaheim (YUCK) and no one else comes close to being so good. They have a huge menu and tons of specials and more specials posted on the walls and hanging from the ceiling. Gee, what do they have? Vegetables, chicken, beef, pork, duck, quail, salmon, red snapper, pompano, prawns, calamari, mussels, scallops, squid. All are homemade recipes made fresh when you order it. I've been there 20+ times and it's always awesome! I've tried a lot of dishes and they've all been super yummy. It will take a long time to try everything because I want to re-order the stuff I've already had too! The worst thing is deciding what to get. Everything is soo good and it's always slightly different everytime you get it since it's all made from scratch. It's always a surprise to me how especially good everything tastes everytime I go there. Even when I already know what I'm getting is good, it's somehow always extremely good in a different way. I don't get it! Different spice ratios? I don't know. It's still basically the same dish, but a little different. They can make whatever you want however you want it. Super mild? super spicey? They will do it. Note: If you have peanut allergies, be sure to say no peanuts! Thankfully, I don't have that allergy! I'd have to risk it! I think the prices are fair considering the quality and uniqueness of the dishes. I personally can't afford to go there every day, but if I could, I most certainly would! The menu really is that big! Perks: It's located in Pacifica, there is always parking, never a line, you can be in and out in 40 minutes, or take your time and never be rushed. I'm hungry now.
