" Hug Thai Express is such a delight! The ambiance is great and the staff is super friendly. I went there for dinner and tried their fried spring rolls, which were crispy and delicious! I followed that with a bowl of their red curry and jasmine rice, which was just divine. Everything was fresh and, honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a better meal. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Hug Thai Express is a solid option for anyone craving Thai comfort food. I tried their fried tofu, which was nice and crispy, followed by a delectable curry dish. While the food was great, I felt the service could have been a bit more efficient, especially during busy hours. If you're looking for good Thai at reasonable prices, this place is a gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" A pleasant dining experience at Hug Thai. The staff was very inviting, and the cozy nature of the restaurant added charm. The Tom Yum was just right in terms of seasoning and spiciness. However, the servings could be a bit more substantial. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my time there and will be back to try the other dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was super excited to try Hug Thai after hearing great reviews, and I am happy to say it lived up to the hype! The service was quick and friendly. I ordered the Pad See Ew, which had a great flavor, and the portions were generous. However, the Tom Yum soup was a bit on the milder side than I expected. I love spicy food and wish they could adjust it a bit closer to traditional levels. Overall, it was a great meal and I will return for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" After some friends recommended Hug Thai, I was eager to try it out. I ordered the Tom Kha soup, which was pretty good, but I expected more kick based on past experiences with other Thai restaurants. The ambiance of the place is charming, and the service was friendly. While it wasn't perfect, I can see why others rave about it, and I would come back to try different dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot rave enough about Hug Thai! Everything I ordered was fantastic, especially the Crab Pad Thai that was to die for. The fresh ingredients and quick service made the experience enjoyable. I went here on a weekend, and I can’t stress enough how worth it was to visit. If you're anywhere near La Mesa, you have to eat here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Hug Thai Express after hearing great tips about the place. The food was good, but I feel like I expected more based on the hype. The green curry had great flavor, but the vegetable portions were sparse. Service was great! The ambiance felt welcoming and cozy. I'll have to try more dishes before giving a final verdict.
