At Chef Woods The Black Thai, we believe food has the power to bring people together.
A shared meal creates conversations.
Conversations create relationships.
Relationships build stronger communities.
Our mission is rooted in service, compassion, and the belief that everyone deserves dignity, hope, and connection.


As an Army veteran, Chef Woods understands the value of sacrifice, teamwork, and serving others. His time in the military instilled a deep sense of discipline and a desire to uplift those around him, a mindset that now fuels every aspect of his community outreach.
After visiting Thailand and experiencing its incredible culture and hospitality, he became inspired by the way food brings people together. The vibrant flavors and communal dining traditions left a lasting impression.
Today, he combines his passion for authentic Thai cuisine with a commitment to helping people throughout San Diego County. Every dish served from The Black Thai is a continuation of his lifelong mission to serve.
