“Amazing food! Nice service and friendly owner!“

“I love love love the red curry. I’m a big fan of spicy 🌶️food and always get disappointed when I order my curry extra spicy and find it too mid, but not here. The curry is flavorful and the heat is there (if you like it that way). This is my go to for lunch for not only the flavor but value.“

“The service was prompt and the food arrived fresh and hot.Last time I had Yellow Curry which is really good, now I tried their pineapple curry which is also awesome, Fried Banana was really awesome I forgot I was in Thai resto 🤣 If you’re looking for satisfying meal, this is the place. I’ll definitely be back for a third round soon! Planning to have more dessert but Im so full 🥰🤣“

“Miya - quaint Thai gem of a place in a residential neighborhood. The kind of place only locals in the hood know about and frequent, far from the center of commerce, but quaint enough to be the epicenter of town. The food is super fresh. Wide selection of traditional Thai fare done well. So good we came twice over the weekend. So glad to see places like this with personality and taste. 70s Thai Film Posters and Patrick Nagel’s Rio. The type of home cooked meal we like coming home to. Kob Khun Krab.“

“Thai food is a hit or miss ,and some better than others. So far Lucky Thai has been better than most, with a few drawbacks when then run out of product. All food is made fresh from my trips here. This establishment is inside the 168 Market and is very simple, small seating to eat there or you can have take out. Service takes a little time for prep in most cases, but worth the wait.“

“Their Orange Chicken is the best!!! Not overly breaded & perfectly seasoned & cooked.“

“The food was beyond amazing. Very flavorful and prepared to order so it’s guaranteed fresh! I loved the atmosphere inside, jazz music and ambient lighting really ties the place together. Staff was wonderful and welcoming, went above and beyond to make sure our visit was great. Would definitely recommend.“

“Great food, excellent service and fast seating. Cannot beat a combination of good customer service and food or products. Absolutely nailed the customer service and beautiful menu design with an excellent subtlly beautiful design. If you need Thai food Come here.“

“Delicious and nice place.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great food and friendly staff! I ordered the Pad Thai with beef and the Green Chicken Curry, and both were delicious. The Mango Sticky Rice was the perfect ending—fresh, flavorful, and top-notch. Highly recommend Thai Casa, and I'll definitely be back!“

“Love this place! Highly recommended :)“

“Great and delicious Pad Thaï! Was fresh and traditional! 💯 I have ordered half shrimp/half chicken. Big portion and leftover. The service was professional and pretty quick. Nice staff. Cute clean warm and welcoming place. Thank you! I highly recommend this restaurant. 👍“

“This restaurant is popping! I came on a Saturday night and it was completely full with 4 parties ahead of me, but I was seated in around 35 minutes.
I ordered the mama pot and the flavor was rich, spicy, and deep. Sort of a tom yum taste but heavier and creamier. The Pad See Ew and Pad Thai were very flavorful as well. The mango sticky rice was sweet and tasty, and the papaya salad was crunchy just the way I like it.
A couple things to pick on: the crispy pork was really dry and I had to keep it submerged in the soup to soften it up. The service can also be hard to flag down due to how busy it gets, but that’s more a matter of suffering from success lol.
Overall 5 stars from me!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“We spent a long weekend in Pasadena and at first chose this Thai place because it was just 5min walking from our rental cottage. They greeted us so friendly and accommodated our requests for items on the side. Then, the next day we came back here because everything was so flavorful! My husband had the crispy sole fish special and I enjoyed the glass noodles with shrimp. Exquisite!
We highly recommend!“

“True hidden gem.
Here’s a hint: Crab Fried Rice. This should be the FIRST thing you order here.

Once that’s out of the way, then you can try the Weeping Tiger.

Dining vibe is cozy and serene. I had a good time eating here.“

“This is my OG favorite Thai spot starting way back in 2007 when I moved to Pasadena! I recently went back to give it another try and it's as good as I remember, prices are now considered reasonable and even good especially the lunch specials, and everything still tastes fresh and high quality. Even some of the servers are still some of the original servers from 2007! They said they love working there. The inside is unique, used to be a wall of empty frames but they made it a bit more artsy but definitely eclectic! They also have if you dishes that are not straight tie but Singaporean or Malaysian. A lunch special for two and both of us getting one iced coffee and one Thai tea came out to a whopping ;-) $40. I think that's super reasonable for high quality Thai food and the drinks added $10. Go check it out!“

“Always great food!“

“nice and fresh and clean 👌#1 service good customer service!“

“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!“

“Food here is pretty good, esp since it's in Monrovia. The service is friendly but there's a tendency to not look my way. The parking is okay, as the place share a lot with at least 4 other eateries, sometimes it's kinda hard to find a spot. The atmosphere is just okay, a tad too crowded and too loud. It's not for a date night but pretty decent for a simple dinner out.“

“Came here to try a new Thai spot after going to President Thai down the street for years and wanting something different. We ordered from the dinner menu, which comes with soup or salad, egg rolls or wontons, and white rice or shrimp fried rice, a great value.

I got the chicken pad Thai and everything was so flavorful and delicious. My boyfriend ordered the yellow curry and it was absolutely amazing, rich and creamy with a coconut base that honestly reminded me of my mom’s Vietnamese curry.

The owner was also incredibly kind and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. Such a welcoming experience. We’ll definitely be back soon!“

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

“Chili & Lemon Thai Cuisine is the BEST Thai in the area. I have ordered from them multiple times and just recently found out they have their own delivery driver (ONLY A $3 DELIVERY FEE!!) and party trays. Party trays are great as they really take down the price per person and it makes it more fun anyway! We got the 10-12 party tray and it easily fed 11 people + left overs. As this was for a birthday and I told the restaurant they very kindly threw in a sticky rice with mango which was delicious. The food (Pad See Ew) and crab wontons were all GREAT! Everyone was pleased with their meal. Not only that but they delivered promptly (15 minutes EARLY!) I would say they are a great options for a dinner party or for individual meals. Their staff who helped me Sun and one other lady, were extremely helpful and answered all of my questions, and I had a lot of them! I wish I had taken photos, sadly I did not.“

“I moved to this area one year ago. Randomly found this amazing restaurant when needing takeout while unpacking. So incredibly tasty and authentic. Literally everything on their menu is delicious. Hidden lil gem. Try it, you won't be disappointed!!“

“This place is an absolute gem. Best thai food I've had in years. It may be the best Thai restaurant in LA in my humble opinion. Their green curry is as good as it gets. The eggplant in it was the best eggplant I've had in my life and I don't even like eggplants. I love eggplants now. Kad kee mao(?) is a tad bit spicy but nothing over the top. It's so flavorful and cooked to perfection. It's basically pad see yew on crack. Their crispy pork has the best balance between crispy and tender. I hesitated to leave this review because almost don't want this place to get too well-known so it doesn't get crowded but I also don't want them to ever go out of business. That would seriously break my heart.“

“The San Gabriel location closed and now I have to drive to Monterey Park. So glad it tastes the same because this place is deliciously delicious. The spicy fried rice is devilishly delectable because of the heat and combined with the pineapple curry it's damn near damning. Screw Flanders.“

“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!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“Good food fast delivery friendly“

“Great food, great service, generous portions.“

“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!“

“the food is cook when you order. the service is great. prices are reasonable everything is delicious 😋“

“Our family has adored coming to this lovely Thai restaurant tucked away in Azusa! The service is always fast and friendly in a cozy atmosphere. The food is incredible! There is something on the menu for everyone! My favorite offering is the green curry tofu - they ask you which spice level you'd like... If you crave a flavorful kick - they will not disappoint! This pairs well with garlic string beans or sir fried fresh ginger, onion, mushroom and carrot. The kids adore the Chicken Satay and the Crying Tiger grilled marinated beef served with Thai spicy sauce.“

“Muy rica la comida Tun servicio excelente“

“Un lugar muy limpio. Y la comida muy rica. Su personal muy amable .Es un restauran familiar.“

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

“Food is great... service is good“

“I recently visited Trendy Thai in Irwindale and had an outstanding experience. The service was warm and welcoming. As for the food, it was absolutely delicious! The chow mein was perfectly cooked with a great balance of flavors (quite spicy though). The cashew chicken was tender and packed with flavors. Overall, Trendy Thai offers an incredible combination of delicious food and excellent customer service.
I recently visited Trendy Thai in Irwindale and had an outstanding experience. The service was warm and welcoming, with the staff going out of their way to make sure we felt at home. As for the food, it was absolutely delicious! The chow mein was perfectly cooked with a great balance of flavors, while the cashew chicken was tender and packed with a savory kick. The potstickers were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, making for a perfect start to the meal. Overall, Trendy Thai offers an incredible combination of delicious food at a very reasonable to low price and excellent customer service. I'll definitely be returning soon! Highly recommend! definitely be returning soon! Highly recommend!“

“Good food , good place, good price 。“

“My sister and I always come here, and it never disappoints. The food is honestly some of the best we’ve had, everything is always so fresh and full of flavor. It’s become one of our go-to spots, and we love coming back every time. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Server has attention to detail and well educated in the dishes they have, went in looking for specific item and ended up choosing another thanks to her recommendation, The dish that I chose to get was the drunken noodles, the flavor and the ingredients are well combined and the vegetables still have a crispiness to it even though they're fried, I also got to try a new mango pudding, let me tell you as someone who loves fruity desserts, this was a PLUS for me, Loved it. Will be recommending this spot to others and coming back myself for sure!“

“Its good everytime! Not a lot of tables so u might have to wait a little bit on busy nights. The mango sticky rice is a must try. Also love their pad thai!! Portion is quite small though.

There r also parking in the back.“

“The food is good. You have to try the green crème brûlée. It is fire fire. If you want a laugh, ask Steve what’s good on the menu? He hates it. Be prepared for his response. He loves jokes bet you can’t make him laugh. Julie is super nice. Loves to see you and wants you to be in a good mood when you get here and a great mood when you leave . She works super hard to make sure the most excellent dining experience possible. Steve and Julie make sure your kid is having a great experience so that you can relax a bit more than most places. The food is great. It’s fresh. You won’t be disappointed, but remember this is not Chinese fast food. Your orange chicken is not typical. This is Thai food so don’t compare it to Chinese food your broccoli beef is not slivers your orange chicken. Don’t look like slimy meteorites your fried rice is made differently. The noodle plates are not Chinese fried noodles when you order something in a different language that you don’t speak and you never have had it before. taste the food like you’ve never had it before not comparing it to something else. You are experiencing genuine Thai food when Julie is getting down in the kitchen the food is 10 out of 10 her cooking her food is amazing. If you ask for spicy, don’t go hard You will burn your face off I recommend start with a 2 or be ready. I can tell you for sure you will not finish your plate at five spicy but if you wanna have fun, you and your friends can make bets about it When you order your food, not all items come with rice so be sure to ask or order rice don’t expect rice with everything if you want a lot of rice, be sure to say so. Last if Tonya is running the show you have to get her attention because she tries not to disturb you.
Me and my kid have had all kinds of things on the menu. I like the coconut soup with chicken I like the yellow curry chicken and vegetables with number two spicy. Black pepper broccoli beef make sure to order rice. The pad’cs, the fried ricesys, the curlly’s the noodoo’s all of it is good to really really good. Some of the food I ordered i’ve never had it and it definitely wasn’t for me. The food is consistent and always tastes as you remember. It’s a hidden bar in Whittier nobody really knows but the place has a bar. I’ve drank there with a few buddies a few times. Throwback a few pichers bs watch a game chill out after work for a bit ask the bartender stupid questions to get an answer you’ve never heard before ask him about his mariachi band! 😂💀“

“Food was great service throwing the customer drinks on table not fan making u feel like ur not welcome by the waiter the (guy )not fan but I don have to say when the owner the older guy it’s there he always make u feel welcome it’s 3 visit but today service has lot to say and he still tip him self 25 for his horrible service it’s time to look for another Thai food place“

“Food was delicious and the service was awesome, our waitress was very friendly and the food was done fast. I would totally recommend this restaurant to my family and friends.“

“i had the dinner special yellow curry with pork. it has carrots and potatos in it! it also comes with rice and a salad :) cheap and filling! also if your like me and dont really like heat then get the mild option. its tolerable!“

“" Close to Bikram Hot Yoga Covina Totally a Treat after a class. Always a Fantastic Delight !! �“

“@traveling_kupo new go to Thai Food for a 7 Sea Soup. Kupo used to travel to Hollywood just for this due to Kupo grew up on their soup. Now closer to home it is a must to stop by every time. A must is the 7 sea soup, Chow Mein combination, steam rice, with fried shrimp. Everything on the menu is always a great choice. Never a disappointed and a Thai Tea to go is a great way to head out.“
