One of the best Thai food spots in Pasadena/Altadena- and that’s quite an achievement given the competition. Miya sets themselves apart with a well crafted menu, cozy and uniquely decorated space, and neatest of all, every Tuesday they have an all vegetarian menu with some unforgettable choices. Honestly worth checking out before the place inevitably becomes famous and the line for a table always out the door! Also huge shout out to the staff who took the time to walk us through the menu, explain how the restaurant dining choices worked, and generally went above and beyond to make the experience match the quality of the food!

Fantastic, authentic Thai restaurant with a trendy yet comfortable interior. The Tom Kha and Khao Soi were favorites of the night, but I’m confident anything on the menu will be delicious. Interior is small, but cozy. Might need to wait a small bit for a table, but that wasn’t a problem. Excited to come back!

Our community is so fortunate to have this delicious food in the heart of Altadena. Absolutely delicious and the location is a total vibe. I tried the Pad Thai and the yellow chicken curry.

Food , service are excellent and the ambience is fun in that it is authentic. The panang beef is the best that I've had on either coast. Food was s I good that we forgot to take photos.
Non-advertised 18% service fee on a to-go order of bland food. And they have the nerve to ask for an additional tip.

Yeah I had dinner there with a friend last night and regret it.1. They don't offer mild curry, others do why not here?2. They don't offer brown rice, other places do why not here?3. The customer service was meh, like they could care less that I/we were there.4. They charged me a 7.50$ service fee on top of my order and tax? Why? They didn't even "serve me." It should say sitting fee, and it should be posted where diners can see it before we get through the entire ordering process. I asked the girl what's this fee and she looked at the ground and couldn't answer, I'm thinking what's going on here? She then said it was to dine in.. I would have walked out then but I had already paid.5. The food was alright.. it wasn't dynamite, and at the end of the meal I had no idea how to get a box for my order. We figured it out but after all that I'm not spending another dime here.

Good food but confusing and lackluster service model. They charge upfront right after ordering and ask for a tip on the checkout computer, and hide the fact that they already put on an 18% service fee so I accidentally ended up tipping like 40%. Then the table service is minimal, they bring your food but you have to get your own silverware and napkins which is confusing and unclear; they come by to refill your water but it is not possible to make any further hospitality requests like a to go box.The food is good and the sticker price is ok, but ends up costing a lot for dine in with a lackluster service.I might try getting take out if I can avoid the service fees and just pay sticker price. If not then I won’t eat here again.

The food is VERY TASTY. One of the tastiest Thai food joints I've had. I'd give this 5 stars for the food alone.However, the one guy server was rude. The 2 women servers were hospitable and kind. But the guy was just rude to everyone. He needs a lesson in hospitality.
Food is good. I ordered a few of the different lunch specials. Added side of egg rolls. Everything was delicious and healthy. Nice clean dining area and love that they wheel a cart next to your table so you can help yourself to condiments, etc. Nice neighborhood/ family run business.

Altadena's culinary options gains a plus one with MIYA on N. Lake. A cute petite spot to sit and enjoy a meal or take home after work and satisfy the senses. Make sure to ask about spice level; some dishes are spicy due to their prep. My favorites include the Tom Kah, Green Curry, and Pad Thai -- Yum!

I live within two blocks of this and finally tried it out. It's OK. I've had better down the hill in Pasadena.
