" While Sovereign was highly recommended, I was somewhat let down by my experience. The food was alright, but I thought the spice levels weren’t quite authentic. My friends enjoyed their meals, but they also commented on the lack of true Thai flavors. However, the service was lovely and made the experience memorable. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here for the first time and was impressed! The ambience is chill, and the staff is super friendly. My favorite was the Shrimp Pad Thai, which had a nice kick. Will definitely be returning to explore more on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Sovereign given its Michelin mention, but I left feeling slightly underwhelmed. While the dishes were decent, I found some to be a bit toned down for the American palate. I understand that not everyone can handle intense spice, but I believe a bit more authenticity would be beneficial. The service was friendly but slow for our larger group. I hope to see improvements. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an incredible experience at Sovereign! The moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles. The atmosphere is cozy yet vibrant, perfect for a night out. The Pad Thai was spot on, tantalizing with just the right amount of spice. The highlight for me was the Hat Yai Fried Chicken - crispy skin with juicy meat inside. I can’t recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Sovereign, given their reputation, but was left a bit disappointed. While some dishes were good, a few lacked the depth of flavor I expected. The service was decent but not anything to write home about. I think I'll give it another try, though. " (*Curated Review*)

" My dinner at Sovereign was underwhelming. The food tasted alright but didn’t live up to the hype. The service was average and my meal came out lukewarm. I think there are better Thai restaurants out there in San Diego. Might not return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to many Thai restaurants, but Sovereign sets the bar high! Presentation was beautiful, and the flavors were deep and comforting. I particularly enjoyed the Mango Sticky Rice! The service was good, but I thought the pacing could have been better. " (*Curated Review*)
