50 Best Thai Restaurants near Altadena

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Great atmosphere and lots of food choices. They use fresh ingredients, and the dishes have rich, aromatic flavors. Their spice level is no joke! (Coming from a rural area with limited Asian cuisine options, we’re used to “medium spicy” meaning barely spicy and “level 1” meaning no spice at all - so pardon me lol.)“

“Delicious and nice place.“

“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!“

“Love this place! Highly recommended :)“

“So delicious the thought of taking a picture didn't even cross my mind. They were open for New Year's and had kind and promp service. The chicken in the soups and curry is thinly sliced breast and had no fat or chewy parts, which is pretty nice.“

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

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Best place for a last minute date night during the week. They are open til midnight which was nice. Food was delicious and flavorful. Careful when asking for the soup medium spicy was spicier than i expected but non the less delicious. Definitely will be coming back.“

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

“had my birthday dinner here, and it was a lovely experience! the staff was so accomodating and kind, and we really loved the patio seating with heaters that kept us warm even in the cold rainy weather. the atmosphere is quaint and the food is delicious. amazing portions for the price! we thoroughly enjoyed pad thai, pad see ew, tom yum soup, kimchi fried rice, and crying tiger (an amazingly tender, smoky steak served with sticky rice) along with a handful of appetizers like salmon wraps and fried tofu. everything was really yummy, and we had plenty of leftovers. 6 of us feasted for about $200, with tip included in that amount. I tipped extra at the end because the staff was so kind and patient with us, even though we were the last to leave after their closing time.“

“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!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

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

“Great food, great atmosphere“

“The vegetable yellow curry is delicious and loaded with fresh vegetables and potatoes. I get mine with medium spice, level 4 so it does pack some heat but not too much heat!! Mango sticky rice is also delicious!! The place is small but the atmosphere is cozy.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Best clubhouse and support group around. I love that they have a great homemade Thai food restaurant and wonderful people that work there, especially the men at the front desk.

Absolutely warm and loving place with tremendous support and meetings. 💕🤟
Go and find out !“

“I popped in during my lunch break, and I couldn’t believe how efficient the service was. The staff greeted me right away and made sure I got my food quickly. The pad see ew was rich and flavorful without being too heavy, and the Thai iced tea was refreshing. The clean, calm interior gave me just the right amount of peace before heading back to the office.“

“We had such a good experience here! The staff was super friendly and informative about the menu. The ambiance mixed a local Thai restaurant with an elevated experience. The food was super delicious and unique. The aguachile and the steak were our favorites!“

“Amazing food! Nice service and friendly owner!“

“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.“

“Food is excellent and spicy 🌶 enough for my hubby, but mild enough for me! Service is awesome and the owners is super friendly!“

“Muy rica la comida Tun servicio excelente“

“Great food, great service, generous portions.“

“Visiting LA from northern California. Found this gem less than 10 minutes walk from our hotel. Everything about this restaurant was fantastic! From service, atmosphere to all the delicious dishes & drinks. We ordered the appetizer platter (digged in & forgot to get a photo), thai bbq pork fried rice, chicken teriyaki bowl, chili garlic & mint leaves w/ beef & two thai teas. Everything was so delicious 😋. Definitely will stop by again whenever we are in the area.“

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

“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! 👍“

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

“Food is great... service is good“

“Good food , good place, good price 。“

“First time dining here and had a great experience. The steamed chicken was tender and moist but my favorite was the flavorful grilled chicken. It was well seasoned and not overcooked. The stir fried Ong Choy veggies were the best I've had in awhile. Very reasonable prices. Excited to come back and try more dishes.“

“Excellent Food! Excellent Service!!! I was having a stressful day and decided to get some delicious Pad Thai from my favorite restaurant, Srisiam Thai Kitchen. The cashier delivered the food to me while I was in my car and I was gifted eggrolls! Thank you so much for ending my stressful day on a good note! I truly appreciate your delicious food and superb customer service! Thank you so much!“

“atención especial y excelente comida !“

“Truly stellar food! Been here multiple times and it’s always blown me away - not just your typical Thai place. The flavors are bold, the chicken satay, Penang curry, and sticky rice are highlights. This is probably gonna end up on the best restaurants in LA list soon and I’m just happy to know about them before they blew up.“

“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!!“

“cozy little restaurant with great food. cold beer“

“This is the best kept secret in glendale, I love their Pad Thai it's the best ive personally ever had and their crab fired rice is so good too! Ashley always gives me great service and its a cute little place. I come here 2-3 a week and look forward to it every time! Thai Touch is the best thai food hands down in the LA AREA and I've tried most of the places. The cook is an IRON CHEF here!“

“The pad kee mao is really good ❣“

“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.“
