Fodor's Review:

Gauzy draperies, murals of Thai dancers, and a rock wall flowing with water create a dreamy rain-forest effect in the back room of this Gaslamp Quarter's restaurant. One of the best Thai restaurants in San Diego, Rama combines professional service with a kitchen that understands the subtle demands of spicing the myriad dishes. The tart, pungent, spiced-to-order (as everything can be) talay (seafood soup—it literally means "ocean") pairs well with a crispy duck salad as a light meal for two. Dozens of curries and stir-fries take the tastebuds on exciting adventures in flavor. Reservations are advised.

The ambience was trendy, yet comfortable because of the privacy afforded by the draperies which made you feel like you were the only customers there. The waiters were professional and attentive. But the food - Amazing! I could smell the spices when the dishes came, but when I took that first bite, it was an explosion of flavors. The basil, coconut, chili's weren't all blended together in the curry, you could taste each aromatic ingredient. I have had a lot of Thai (we try it everywhere we go), and in the States this is hands down the best Thai food you'll taste! We still talk about it.

I can't say enough about this place. The decor is really special--there are sheer drapes between all the tables so would be a great place for a romantic dinner. You feel really secluded. The quality and quantity of food is excellent. Great curries. Some nights, they have sushi which is really good too. You can select the level of spiciness, so even if you don't think you like Thai food because of its spice level, you will be ok here.
