The food is great! They are willing to make any dish as spicy or as mild as you like. I am always delighted by the teas. Try the fruit tea and the rose garden tea, which are brewed via French press at your table. Pad Thai and curries are predictably delicious. Service is friendly--and quick, which is a nice feature when you're dining before a movie across the street at the Edwards cinema.

Racist I've ordered several times via postmates and the food was mixed good and ok. But I ventured to eat in and was rudely and disrespectfully treated due to my skin color. They prefer Asian clientele. And due to my brown skin they refused to make my food unless I paid first. She said for her own protection. I'm like what I just came in. The main the Asian man did not have to pay first. I just had came from shopping at Ross and Sprouts and had my bags with me. I guess because I'm a person of color that Judy decided that I didn't have any money.
And asked her where is it posted to pay first? She took me to this sign about I have the right to refuse service.
I was talking with my manager I'm a supervisor where I work. And he's like leave they'll do something to your food. I I told her I wanted to speak to her manager Ben Young she said.. and called him. After I showed my government i.d. she said oh you can order.
As I told her I now refuse your service and showed her big bills I had I told her Judy you're a racist.
Then she called more Asians out from back as I left
I don't curse nor did I even raise my voice.
Just beware just is definitely racist if you're a person of color just don't go here

Thai Purple has always been one of our fave Thai restaurants in the SGV - they have the BEST crab rangoon around, we’ve loved almost everything we’ve tried over the years, the staff are always warm and welcoming, it’s a great location, and the prices are consistently decent for the area.
Their curries are always fresh and tasty - they have all your typical Thai curry varieties (green, red, yellow and others - and you can adjust your spice level), they use fresh veggies, and their meats are good quality. They have great lunch specials that include an excellent veggie soup and the curries come with a generous amount of rice.
Their pad see ew is also another winner here. Perfect consistency in the noodles, a delectable sauce, and the veggies are tender and delicious. It’s my go-to dish here when I’m not in the mood for curry.
I also love their tea varieties! On our last visit I tried their red date tea - it’s brewed with longons (similar to lychees) and red dates - it’s got an incredible flavor and is the perfect amount of sweet. A great dessert option if you want something lighter - and it’s caffeine free so it’s a nice post-dinner drink. I’d come back here just for this lol.
I love the vibes too - it’s very cozy and warm - like eating at an auntie’s house lol. Plenty of tables but also booths too and they have a nice fish tank at the front entrance.
The location is perfect for a date night - they’re right across the street from the movie theater in the main part of Alhambra. We used to come all the time when we lived closer years ago and were happy to see that they’re still going strong after all this time!
They have plenty of free parking in the garage located in the back and a back entrance right across from it. The area is very walkable - definitely a great option in Alhambra!

Genuinely the worst Thai Food I have ever tried, I’ve never ordered food from a place and received 90% vegetables, 9% watery sauce and less than 1% meat. Had to pull out my magnifying glass to count the 5 strands of meat that are smaller than a paperclip💔

Food is amazing! Large portions can definitely share. Vegetarian options, tofu pad thai is amazing. Don't skip on the desserts. The fried bananas are lightly battered with coconut they're not overly sweet.
No AC, service was slow and when food was wrong, they took back...meat was tough and lacking in flavor 😢

This used to be a really good restaurant but their dishes are too salty. Me and my husband loved this restaurant but on our 3rd time (hoping that the food wouldn’t be salty) we said never again.
