Reviews

One of the best, probably the best Thai food place in San Diego! Only been here twice but leaving the place always satisfied and full.
Their signature rockfish is spectacular!! Lots of flavors.
This place is also Michelin recommended!!


Featured in the Michelin Guide for the past 3 years, we couldn’t not try Sovereign.
On our first day we walked to the East Village in San Diego where Sovereign is located to check it out.
I’m glad we did as it tuned out to be in a not very nice area in San Diego.
Armed with this knowledge when visited we did so by Uber. When we arrived and we were sat in a booth, which I always like. We ordered…. Thai cracking sticks. Northern Thai Spicy Sausage.
I know the clue is in the name but these were extremely spicy. They had run out of the Golden Crispy Pork Belly so we had Hat Yai Fried Chicken with Tomato Chili Jam. It had the most amazing crispy skin like Peking duck but even better.
The chicken was so tender. We also had Dry Turmeric Curry, which had a deliciously mild spice on the minced meat. All in all we enjoyed the food here, particularly the mains which were fantastic.


Interesting and creative Northern Thai.
Cocktails v good and not too sweet: Thai basil gimlet and Pepino cooler.
Sum Tom papaya salad quite good, but made with fish sauce rather than crushed dried shrimp.
Spice good, slightly over on palm sugar.
My partner loved the Tom Ka - it had something intriguing to increase body/unctuousness.
Spicy Thai basil beef good taste and texture, but not amazing.
Really wanted to try more dishes, including Thai Sausage, Chicken Larb, Spicy pork belly, and Sizzling eggplant - must go back soon! Friendly and helpful service.
Sticky coated menus.
Very cold inside.
