    Great customer service. I came with a group of hikers (just finished hiking up to inspiration point) who were all hungry and tired. They immediately put together all the tables and accommodated and sat us all together.

    I decided to try a new Thai place for lunch since I had never been there and heard their curries were good. I ordered the chicken panang curry with a side of brown rice. The panang curry was excellent. The rice was good but for $2 more I expect my rice carton to be filled more than 70 percent. I was confused at first when I went to pick up my order as the door was closed. They were open, but due to Covid you can't even go inside. Parking is limited. Overall pretty good Thai.

    This is a fantastic Thai restaurant located in a great corner (Los Robles Ave and Orange Grove Blvd). I discovered it by happenstance and definitely will be back. I ordered takeout and my order was ready in less than 10 minutes. The Pad Woon Sen (Thai Glass Noodles Stir fried) was definitely the star of the show. Despite being a low calorie food, it was delicious and filled me up. The Pad See Ew, as with every other place I've been to, was amazing. Nothing new here. The Rock Shrimp is a delicious, deep fried shrimp with a side sauce whose formula must be preserved for future generations. It is THAT good. The Sticky Rice was delicious. I always get mine without the mango side but I'm sure even with the mango, it would be amazing. 10/10. Would recommend.

    Consistent and tasty thai food in the 626! It's a local neighborhood spot. Its casual dining w friendly service. I've ordered here multiple times now. It's one of the better Thai options in the Pasadena area. Their dine in and to go portions are equally generous. Seasoned well. Especially enjoy the spice level options. Love my spice 🔥 Mostly had their noodles, rice, and salad options. Papaya salad is refreshing and can be made extra spicy. Their noodle dishes are balanced and not overly dry. The crab fried rice is generous with real crab meat. Great little neighborhood Thai spot 👌

    My i used to love this place for several years. I think they are under new ownership again, but the last three orders have been sub par. The food doesn’t match the menu item ordered, it is way too greasy and has not been fresh lately. I no longer trust what i’m getting or how it will taste or make me feel afterwards.

    I’m obsessed with this place. The food is sooooo good! Love the curries and soups, and I love that they’re actually open pretty late (for Pasadena lol). It hits the spot every time. The dining area isn’t very inviting so I usually take my food to-go, but that’s my only complaint.

    Not quite hole in the wall totally undiscovered gem but portion sizes are reasonable and dishes flavorful/worth it. Panang salmon and cashew chicken pictured, delicious. At least 10-15 takeout orders were processed in the hourish while sitting down. Light above us was flickering but only if you're observant. Try this place

    This is my go to place for Thai food in Pasadena. Prices are fair, food is good, and service is ok. I've had better Thai food though, but it's two hours away from here, so this is my substitute Thai food fix. My favorite dish is pad see ew and it's ok here, sometimes it's a bit on the dry kinda bland side though. I like their papaya salad, the yellow curry, spicy eggplant, Tom kha kai soup with noodles. Sometimes our waitress seems to be rude and curt, but we have gotten used to her mannerisms and think maybe that's just the way she talks to people, so we don't take it personally. It helps to just pick up the food and take it to go, I call it in ahead of time and they have it ready in about 15 minutes and it's piping hot.

    The food was great except our VERY minty and very little shrimp Siam rolls. The Pad Thai was great and the chow mein was good too the chow mein was about twice the serving size as the pad Thai, and the service was okay, our cups were empty for a long time and with such rich food you need water.

    This place has this really good soup , called chicken Tom kah, or something like that but it is in this coconut type juice with thin pieces of delicious chicken, along with some mushrooms and other herbs. I would definitely recommend that if you come here.

    One of my favorite thai places in Pasadena. Love their yellow shrimp curry, my favorite here. Shrimp pad thai is yummy too! My daughter had tofu penang, she loved it. Clean, nice staff, well priced and plenty of street and structure parking.

    I've been coming to this place for years, the food is the best thai food around and well priced. I finally wrote a review because the new young man working the front is such a gem. He is so thoughtful and above and beyond service. Go here for pad see ewe and yellow curry! You will live it!
