Thai Society Review (Encinitas Restaurants)



Pricing:
Bordering on pricey but not terrible.  Most of the appetizers are $8-10 and the entrees are $12-15.  So for two people you're going to be out $45 plus tip.

Distance:
Located in the Encinitas Ranch Town Center.  Close to the El Camino Real and Lucadia Blvd. intersection.  5-10 minutes away for most Encinitas residents.

Thoughts:
Before you read any further I need to admit that I'm not a Thai food fanatic in general.  I don't like food so spicy that you can barely see straight by the end of your meal and I don't much care for the fact that when you order Thai food it's usually a huge plate of the same.  Like a huge bowl of curry with a ton of rice.  Tasty but I like variety.

So now that you know my lack of Thai credentials... I do like Thai Society quite a bit.  I'm not sure how it stacks up compared to some of its more hardcore brethren but I appreciate the fact that you can order soup with more than one ingredient in it and entrees with equal amounts of meat and rice.

You can request an increase in spice level here but I've yet to encounter any plate that made me weep for mercy.  So if you're looking for that particular experience, I would try a different place.

The location is convenient for the Encinitas area.  There are people that eat there for lunch and dinner on a regular basis but I've never had to wait for a table making it a reliable go-to dinner place.  It has enough atmosphere to cater to a date night but the location (in a shopping center) is not especially romantic.  Maybe for a quick date?
