    This place is so good you'll want to go back!!! I feel like this restaurant is tasty. Their fried rice is on point and the flavor is rich ! I ordered the combination friend rice which has beef, shrimp and chicken. The beef and chicken were fresh and juicy. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. It was plump and meaty. It was amazin! I also had some Tom yum shrimpnsoup. I'm a fan of that lemon grass flavor so this soup was yummy . It wasn't spicy so I asked for chilli oil. And then I topped it off with a Thai iced tea and it was refreshing. It has a milky taste to it, Very rich. I'll definitely make this my go to!

    An intimate Thai eatery with nice date ambiance and elevated prices to match. Staff was friendly but not very attentive. Parking can be a bit hard to find on the street so your best bet is at the lots/garages nearby when it gets busy. Pretty small restaurant, could see there being a wait on the weekends. We came later on a Thursday night. Tried the Pearl summer roll, Thai fried rice, and green curry. The summer (spring?) rolls were incredibly overpriced, just a bunch of cheap salad ingredients wrapped in rice paper with (way too sweet) peanut sauce and mustard (???) on the side. Definitely skip! Thai fried rice was good but too sweet for my taste, I much prefer Nine & Nine's version (close by & cheaper). The green curry, though, was one of the best I've had in LA so far. I highly recommend. Really creamy and well flavored, with tender bamboo shoots, chicken, and veggies. And a nice spicy kick to finish! Would come back to try more of the curries.

    We went to Thai consulate and decided to give this place try. They have Thai spring rolls, that is hard to find. We ordered Thai spring rolls, shrimp rolls and fish cake. They were all pretty good. Spring rolls sauce is sweet but I added chili oil and vinegar would help too. Fish cake was little spicy. Shrimp cake was good and crispy with plum sauce. Service was good even with many to go orders. I think there is small parking lots in the back. We parked on the street.

    Very nice little Thai spot. Nice esthetic…clean and simple. Tasty food. Service is a little relaxed, but very friendly. Parking can be a little tricky. There is a pay lot across the street and another one just south of the restaurant. There is also a small commercial loading zone just east of the restaurant. Garlic chicken and green beans was tasty, and was our favorite dish. The salad was refreshing as well. Chicken satay was average. Noodle dish was a little below average. Mango sticky rice was pretty solid.

    The food was really good. The noodles and fried rice are their specialty but salmon wasn’t that great.

    Outstanding green curry in a very pleasant atmosphere. No wait at 6:30 pm on a Monday. Friendly service that was pretty fast given that there were a lot of people coming in for pickup orders and only a few staff. $20 for the curry, a side of steamed broccoli, and really good Earl grey tea. Highly recommend for great Thai in a relaxing environment.

    We love it here so much. What a charming, special Thai restaurant. The atmosphere is very quaint, with soft jazz playing in the background. The best part - the food. SOOO good. Try everything! Authentic, savory, sweet, and spectacular. I am glad we stumbled upon this gem!

    The pineapple shrimp curry is really good, I just wish they gave me more rice to eat it with. It’s very rich in flavor and it’s got a mild spicy kick to it. The Pad Thai wasn’t bad either, but I liked the curry more. The Pad Thai could use just a little bit more flavor. The restaurant is a little small but there are a bunch of tables inside. Service was really good. I parked in front of the restaurant, which was metered.

    Good food, but the price is insanely high for the quality. Appetizer was almost 20$ and was 80% dough. Total for 5 was almost 200$

    They make the spice how you order 1 to 5 (Thai hot). Yellow curry was really good.

  • 5/5 M 1 year ago on Google
    Food was very good, pad thai, hot spicy basil and yellow curry were very good

  • 2/5 Andrea S. 9 months ago on Google
    $18 for green curry and it was insanely spicy I could barely eat it. I’m Latina I love spicy food but this was something else. The curry was not $18 worth. Nothing special about it. I didn’t love it. The place is super clean and the customer service is good though ! ( surprisingly ). Also I love how they sell some organic things like organic drinks & teas !

    This place is a gem! From the appetizer sampler to the pad thai to the the mango sticky rice. Food was so fresh AND we had great service. 10/10 recommend and will definitely be back.

    The food was good, but surprisingly expensive for what it was. Inflation has sadly affected many restaurants. I ordered a shrimp summer roll, and they put only half a shrimp for garnish, but zero shrimp inside the actual roll. I was pretty bummed. If ingredients are too expensive, it’s better to leave it off the menu entirely…. Again, very good food, but not budget friendly.

    Amazing food and great location. Easy to walk to and typically has one or two parking spots open close by.

    Best Thai in Pasadena. It is more of a fun date night place than a grab and go place because it is a higher price point. But the quality is amazing.

  • 5/5 Pierce B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great easy to eat in and out, split a pad Thai with my son who loved the chicken. Friendly and fast service will come again!

  • 2/5 Eddie T. 2 years ago on Google
    So I spent $13 on a order of pad se ew, with a container that was a third empty. lastly, i was told i’d get 6 spring rolls for $12 but they were pretty much 2 cut in half. a total rip Offf

    I wasn't feeling that great before going out but this was a pretty satisfying dinner. I didn't order my usual dishes either so not their fault that the dishes weren't quite too my liking.
