50 Best Thai Restaurants near Altadena

“Our group of four had a lovely time at Miya! We ordered the chicken khao soi, beef pad see ew, beef panang, and morning glory. All were wonderful dishes and they arrived at our table pretty quickly. It’s more important than ever to patronize these kinds of small businesses, particularly considering their location in Altadena. Highly recommend!“

“So yummy it was best food I have had I like it a lot and they are open late which is rlly good for me since I am a late night owl and I stay up later especially when there’s delicious Thai Food from Sticky Rice which is always a huge plus for me when it is late and I am hungry which is not now but could be later.“

“Thai Thyme is cozy Thai restaurant that specialize in authentic Thailand cuisine. It’s located in Monrovia. They have vast selection of food and drinks at a reasonable price. Interior looks charming with high ceiling and exposed brick. Atmosphere was relaxing.

We have walked passed by Thai Thyme for years but never hand a chance to check-in until tonight. Because it tends to be packed due to its popularity. Anyway, after we perused their menu; I ordered a Chicken Pad Won Sen, Spring Rolls, iced tea and water. The noodle was tasty, moist and flavorful albeit a bit salty. Similarly, spring rolls were delightful. Drinks were good.

Staff were very attentive, engaging and respectful. Prices were fair and competitive. Atmosphere was relaxing and has a good vibe. Overall, it’s a nice Thai spot in my favorite town of Monrovia. I recommend you visit.“

“As soon as you open the door at Kwan Kitchen, you are greeted with a friendly ‘how can I help you?’ Seating was available and we asked for some time to go over the menu. When the server returned she was very helpful in answering questions about the menu and on what to order. Spiciness is on a scale of 1 to 5. We both ordered level 2. We started our meal with fried dumplings to share. They were excellent! We then ordered tom yum soup and two entrees to go - pad see ew and pad thai.

The tom yum had veggies and shrimp and was excellent, even reheated. The shrimp was cooked to perfection, no easy feat in a soup.

Pad see ew was very good and good value as it provided more than one meal. Good balance of ingredients but would order a higher spice level next time.

Pad thai was likewise a good selection and tasted great reheated.

Be aware there are a lot of customers picking up and the parking lot is very tight.

I look forward to returning and trying their very popular curry!“

“Tastes absolutely delicious and exactly the same as it did 30 years ago! Teriyaki chicken, order the #1 and you'll be happy!“

“Great place....spicy beef salad and mango sticky rice are awesome.“

“😃I like the way they cook all family members working real Thai Food cook by Thai people“

“Yes, the awards are justified!!! This is an absolute gem but be prepared: your mouth will burn. Cute little place, tight seating with some chairs, often times stools only – but cute. The menu is not excessively long (and great: nothing can be changed bc it should not be changed). The staff guided us through with welcome recommendations. 1 ½ items per person appears to be enough even though they suggest 2 items per person.
The food was a (hot) dream: beautifully presented, phantastic breadth, combinations and variations of flavors, perfectly sync’ed with various textures. Only the lobster was dissatisfying to dissect without appropriate tools.
It would be nice if there was a sweet bouquet possible at the end, but there is room for evolution. Will come back even without that ...

“we order papaya salad hardyai chicken and pudkeemaw we like it all we will come back for sure.“

“Tiny little place serving up food well above its weight class! Really good food! The chef even came out to personally ask us how the food was. So nice! Really interesting decor too! I'd come back with my date! But the place is tiny, so if there's no seating inside, and it's too hot or cold to eat outside, take it to go! The food is worth giving a new home in your belly!“

“Finally! Some decent Thai food in Pasadena. We had the Crab Fried Rice and Chicken Panang. Both were fabulous!!!

Update: Ordered from here again! Was not disappointed; everything was excellent! Ordered Crab Fried Rice, Chicken Panang, Egg Rolls, and Chicken Gyzos. Best Thai I've had in a long, long time.“

“Great spot. Great people. Great concept. Fun time. It's a must.“

“Everything was great especially the food. I often order pad see ew at the places I go. It was exceptionally good. The chicken meat was excellent and I will order it that way again. Today on my second visit I’m trying the special curry with the chicken. It smells great and I’m ready to dive in. Thai tea is also good. Not overly sweet and no bite. This is my new go to Thai place.“

“Love this place! Highly recommended :)“

“The food is like I am in Thailand. So delicious. The restaurant is big, clean and comfortable! The service is fantastic. They are all wonderful, especially Jenny. Highest recommendation for Tantawan! Try it, you’ll love it!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“Hi-nan rice is the reason I stop by there almost every chance I have on my way home. The staff are friendly and can wa irk their magic in the grill.“

“Interior chill. Order online available. They speak thai here, friendly. Got the veggie only drunken noodle went in hr before close and ordered takeout. Food ready quickly. Hard working. Price quality location everything great. Spicy is def spicy btw and i was thinking of getting the hottest level forgot authentic Thai spicy is diff from european american spicy lol. Definitely would go back. Wasnt greasy. No edamame. Portions great. Menu good. Will try pad thai nxt time and fried rice.“

“I was just passing by on my way to a work meeting and was craving Yellow curry.Let me just say that the rice was fresh and fluffy, pairing just perfectly with the yellow curry and chicken. There was a generous amount of chicken, potato and carrots which some restaurants skip out on.The staff were super friendly and attentive. I will definitely come back when I’m in the area again.“

“Full Flavor - No Frills

Hole in the wall spot with fresh favors and generous portions and decent prices.

We loved the duck pad see eu and the off menu fish curry. And the cup of soup was a huge meal sized portion.

As we packed up our food to go we were offered extra curry sauce: 10 stars!

My boyfriend likes his food spicy. He ordered the cup of soup and the fish curry spicy and they were both hot enough for him. Huge win. We will be back. And they are open until midnight.“

“Amazing experience! We will be coming back any time we're in the area. Everything ordered was well seasoned, delicious, and very fresh. We ordered two different soups, curry, a noodle dish, and fried bananas.
The customer service was great and the prices are reasonable for the quality and amount.“

“Step into Mama Mae Ting's stall and you will be transported into an authentic Bangkok soi eatery (street stall). Somtam is fresh, crunchy and seasoned as spicy as you can handle; the BBQ chicken (gai yang) & BBQ pork (mu ping) are super savory and juicy (and conveniently served on sticks)..be sure to ask for sticky rice with that! Missed out on the kanomkrok but will save that treat for my next visit. Super arroy di mak-mak!“

“Delicious and nice place.“

“This place is a hole in the wall with amazing taste! We drove over from Eagle Rock and it was quick and easy. They have a parking lot so parking is available. Taste felt authentic and yummy 😋. Watch out for kick in soup 🔥!
Check them out!“

“We went shortly after 9:00 pm. It's great to know there's a sit-down restaurant that is open after 8-9:00 that isn't in Old Town Pasadena, easy free parking across the street. Our food was excellent. The server was very pleasant. A plus to us was that there was no background music that we had to listen to or talk over“

“We’ve been coming to this spot for years, even back when it had different owners the Thai food was always amazing. We recently decided to try it again under the new ownership, and wow… still absolutely delicious!

We ordered the Pad Thai, Thai Fried Rice, and Pineapple Fried Rice. My husband also had a Thai Iced Tea with boba everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. This is officially our go-to Thai food place!

The restaurant is small and cozy, with a calm and quiet ambiance. The service was excellent professional, polite, and very attentive. Even the bathroom was spotless, which is always a plus.

Highly recommend this gem in Pasadena!“

“Amazing food! Nice service and friendly owner!“

“My go-to Thai restaurant in SGV! Food is authentic Thai, and great service (accommodated to different taste preferences-more sour, less spicy, etc). As a Thai, I can testify that their food has authentic flavors. We usually order Pad Seew & mango sticky rice. Their salty garlic fried shrimps are amazing also. It’s not a big place so it could get crowded during lunch and dinner times.“

“Great food, great service, generous portions.“

“This restaurant serves a lot of dishes I had never even heard of! I tried the Khao klook ga-pi (fermented shrimp rice bowl) - definitely took a chance there but it was absolutely delicious! The servers were helpful with suggestions on how to eat the food and answering questions about the menu. Definitely would love to try more of their menu!“

“There are 3 parking spots on the backside of the restaurant, and parking (prohibited however) is also available at the sporting store across the street. Ordered the green curry. It was good, slightly expensive for the price, but good. The curry is quite rich and perhaps even drinkable.“

“Great food, great atmosphere“

“Food was absolutely delicious! Jonathan was an exceptional - guided us through the menu.“

“Fantastic Thai restaurant that offers authentic flavors and incredible value. The food is very delicious and I was quite surprised by how large the portions were given the price. They are not stingy with the meat nor the vegetables and the flavor is perfect. I have gotten delivery from here before but dining in is way better. The interior is a bit small so seating is limited, but well worth it and the staff are very friendly.“

“This place is like a hidden gem. Been here with my gf many times now, and we had ordered almost everything on the menu, and the dishes are consistently delicious. My favorite so far is the beef broccoli, the meat is very tender and well-cooked. 8.5/10“

“I've been coming since I was in my teens. The food is delicious and it's literally one of the last Thai food spots where the food is authentic. As my children where growing up we enjoyed many dinners here as well. Many great memories and delicious food. The service is great.“

“Muy rica la comida Tun servicio excelente“

“The pad kee mao is really good ❣“

“amazingly delicious.....the best Thai food ever.....you need to try the lettuce raps“

“I am not the type of person to do many reviews but I feel this restaurant deserves one, especially, my recomendation. Tried this place with a couple of friends who are very picky when it comes to the authenticity of Asian food, especially when it comes to Thai food. Their verdict was that it's the real deal. We all enjoyed the delicious food and the awesome service. This could be our go-to place for Thai food from now on! 👍“

“I’ve been to Thailand several times and it’s one of my favorite places in the world...mainly because of the food!!!! I ordered the vegetable soup and it satisfied my cravings I’ve had these cold LA nights!!!! Also ordered off menu, a pork omelette...and it was just like in Thailand!! My heart is fulfilled, for now haha...you know this place is already gone be good when u see a mama in the back whipping it up :)))))...can’t wait to try their curry next!!“

“Nice place for lunch. We ordered the All Day Specials and it was tasty with a good portion too.
The fried rice and pad Thai both tasted great.
We were on the only ones dining in. The guy running the counter is very friendly too.

Parking: Five parking spots in the parking lot and one of them requires the blue card. There are also spots along the road too.“

“Nice food and friendly service! I love their soup noodle and crying tiger.“

“The first time I ate Thai food was at Indra and it was just as good and even better! Hi Wes 12 years old And I am 51 now! It’s awesome 💕“

“Food is great... service is good“

“Great place. Food always good. And very fresh And delicious. Service very friendly. Grand central. Always busy. But you guys are great.“

“Pretty nice Thai restaurant. They have lots of options and seems very authentic. This is the first place I have been to that offers combination meat with chicken, pork, beef, and shrimp together, which is great for variety. I got the pad Thai, and it was good but too sweet for my taste. The waitress was very nice and the place is clean.“

“Parking was good. Food is good for reasonable cost. Service is good. No sign on the back door so you can't tell if it's the correct place. I had yellow chicken curry. It was good tasting with good, but not perfectly cooked chicken. The curry is very watery. I used 2/3 of it, and it made my rice an unpleasant soggy consistency. Spice level is pretty spot on.“

“atención especial y excelente comida !“

“Absolutely delicious food. ❤️“
