Thai Thae Cuisine in College Area serves San Diego Thai food from 7028 El Cajon Boulevard, anchoring the eastern stretch of the El Cajon Blvd dining corridor near the Rolando border in the 92115 ZIP. The menu spans the full range of Thai kitchen technique — Pad Thai with egg, green onion, bean sprouts, and ground peanuts; Panang Curry in coconut milk; and a fire-pot seafood combination that loads scallops, fish, shrimp, calamari, and mussels into a lemongrass broth with fresh Thai chilis and ginger. Soups run both clear-broth and coconut-milk formats, with Tom Yum built on kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, and galangal, and Tom Kha layering the same aromatics into a richer coconut base with chili oil. The SDSU campus sits roughly two miles west, and the student and faculty traffic that filters east along El Cajon Boulevard for best Thai food in San Diego feeds the late-night slices at Woodstock's Pizza SDSU and the curry kitchens on this end of the corridor. The health department scores Thai Thae at 96 out of 100, one of the highest marks among restaurants near SDSU and one of the strongest Thai kitchens the east side of San Diego has produced. Thai Thae also runs a sushi program alongside the Thai menu, with nigiri, sashimi, and maki rolls available for diners who want to split a table between raw fish and curry. Satay Chicken at $11.95 arrives with peanut sauce and cucumber salad, and the $16.95 Sampler platter combines egg rolls, fried dumplings, shrimp tempura, cheesy crabs, and onion rings for a table-share appetizer. Thai Iced Tea at $5.95 anchors the drink menu, and happy hour pricing on both food and drinks targets the weekday after-work window. The El Cajon Boulevard bakery corridor that includes Su Pan Bakery El Cajon sits within a few blocks, and diners often split an evening between a curry entrée here and a pastry stop on the way home. The Wonton Soup layers stuffed ground pork and shrimp wontons into a clear broth with chicken, shrimp, and vegetables, bridging the Thai and Chinese comfort-food traditions that overlap on this section of the boulevard.
