My wife has the pad kee mao and I had the spicy crispy pork basil. Both were good, but not great.
At some Thai restaurants, the food all tastes the same and it doesn't really matter what you order. That certainly wasn't the case here. Both dishes were different and we enjoyed them. But they weren't spectacular. The flavors didn't pop and they weren't bright. I'm not sure what was missing, but something about them felt... Less than exciting.
I gave it 4 stars and would happily eat there again if I'm in the area. But it's not worth the drive from the intersection of the 10 & 57 freeways.

Truly amazing Thai food—amazing in every sense of the word. Having spent time in Thailand and fallen in love with the cuisine there, I was thrilled to discover this restaurant. It’s the closest I’ve come to genuinely authentic Thai food in many, many years. And the Khao Soi? Simply unbeatable.

The fried chicken was quite good. I had the Pad Thai with crispy pork, but the pork seemed overcooked and tasted chewy and dry. That said, I really liked the noodles—they were different from other Pad Thai I’ve had. Overall, I like the recipes here ❤️

It was not very good quality food. The ingredients were not fresh and everything was just sweet or just spicy. I was disappointed with food, service, and the atmosphere. I had ordered egg rolls, padthai, green curry, and minced chicken. Egg rolls were the only thing that was good. It's not too suitable for a family or a decent sit-down place with full service.

The place is very cute with a nice atmosphere. The food was decent, favoring more towards the curry (my husband got a Thai green curry) which was good but my pad siew was a bit bland. The downside was we waited at least 30/35 minutes for my noodles to come out and a total of 1 hour for my husband’s Thai green. In waiting for my husband’s food to come out my plate was getting cold. And to add to that they forgot to bring him his drink! So he took it home since he was basically done eating once he received it. I fear they probably forgot about his dish which I understand if you’re busy but we didn’t even get an apology for the delay.
So the neghborhood is recouperating from the forest fires last year...this is a great little tai resturant...we showed up on Tuesday, vegetarian night. The food; springbrools, vegi rolls, padbtai, assortments of curries and soups were well seasoned and loaded with fresh veg. Well done!!

If you want authentic Thai...stay away from this place. Panang (which only offers beef as protein) was a red curry/peanut concoction w/zero coconut milk. Pad Kee Mao was even more disappointing...it barely passed even as a good Pad See Ew. So little zip & flavor in either dish. Listen, as an old school white guy who grew up 5 minutes outside of Thai Town in East Hollywood, I know legit vs. a new age Thai Bistro that puts more thought & love into their design & decor vs. their cooking. Once I saw all the white Millennial clientele, that right there, should have been a dead give-away (after all, they're more into packaging than substance). 9&9 in old Town Pasadena, (which is as basic as it comes) deserves higher praise. 1st time= last time

Last night (11/29) we placed a to-go order at Miya. It was our first night back in our Altadena home after 10 months of evacuation, and our children and grandchildren were waiting at home for our return to Altadena celebratory dinner. After 45 minutes, they informed us that a dish we had ordered was sold out (why didn’t they notice this before accepting payment for the order?). We chose a replacement dish. After 15 more minutes we asked for our partial order and left. The restaurant staff were completely indifferent to having ruined our evening. No thanks to Miya, we are happy to be home.

Overrated and overpriced in my opinion. We ordered the chicken curry, pad thai crispy pork, and Thai fried chicken. The pad thai noodles were rubbery and very hard to chew. The crispy pork was also dry and tough to eat. The Thai fried chicken was okay, it reminded me of Popeyes. If I only considered the pad thai and crispy pork, I would rate this place one star, but I’m giving an extra star because the chicken curry was the only dish that tasted nice.
