50 Best Thai Restaurants near Monrovia

“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.)“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Delicious and nice place.“

“Love this place! Highly recommended :)“

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

“We just tried this place for the first time… and SO GOOD! The atmosphere and vibe overall is chill, welcoming and homie! The food was fantastic, had the vegan pad see you. And if that wasn’t good enough the service was wonderful! Felt more like visiting a friend than just popping into to a restaurant! Will definitely be a repeat customer!“

“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!“

“The food was extremely tasty. I got four entrees, which were brought out to us fast. For three people I spent around $80, which is reasonable considering the portions you get, plus the drinks. Overall, the staff was hospitable and attentive, so it’s a must try spot, as you won’t regret it.“

“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!“

“Always great food!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The guy that owns it always very attentive and keeps coming to your table to make sure you have what you need. Their food is delicious. I ordered noodles and a tom kha soup it wasl all very tasty. Portions are generous and he packs your leftovers to take home great little restaurant. Five stars all the way!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing food! Nice service and friendly owner!“

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

“I went here many times and it’s amazing! I love their seafood soup and rice. It’s wonderful. The quality is amazing and i also love some of the noodles they have! their service is amazing as well, the workers give the biggest smiles and feel welcoming. And the. Atmosphere, don't even get me startedd! They recently decorated for Christmas and the tree is amazing! Amazing place and i highly recommend“

“Muy rica la comida Tun servicio excelente“

“We are vegetarian and unfortunately we're served a soup with a chicken piece in it. Management rectified it immediately. Food was good minus that one incident and the young man with a moustache serving us was extremely professional and pleasant. We are from Houston and this was our first meal in LA. Definitely a big plus for this restaurant. Will return for future meals“

“I had such a great experience at this Thai restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — full of flavor, fresh, and made with LOVE. The prices were very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, which made the whole meal feel like an amazing value. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which really added to the experience. Overall, I left full, happy, and already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for authentic Thai food and a great atmosphere!“

“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.

Highly recommend! definitely be returning soon! Highly recommend!“

“Food is great... service is good“

“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! 👍“

“This place is SO freaking good, thai town could never, I came here initially because it was close to work but good lord it blows every place I've been to out of the water. And the #1 reasons for that is they cook their meat sooooo good, juicy and delicious not just thrown haphazardly into a dish. Especially their beef 🤤“

“Good food , good place, good price 。“

“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.“

“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!“

“I haven't been here in a while, but honestly, why have I not been here more often?!?! Well, I've made up for lost times, and came here twice recently. We ordered the same thing, but depending on the crew, some meat was more cooked, and less soft than last time. But otherwise, still pretty good. I'd still come back.
My only annoyance is being charged $4 for on extra box of rice to go. A little expensive, but I get it.“

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

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

“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.“

“Good food fast delivery friendly“

“This place is the best!! It's absolutely my favorite Thai food to dine in and take-out. Service is always excellent and the food is amazing! I highly recommend trying everything!!!“

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

“Spicy seafood dish was tasty but sparse. They dont offer a small stir-fried side dish, only a family sized dish. Life is too short for plain white rice (my personal take).

My friend had chicken with noodles, which came with 7 thinly cut pieces of chicken, 4 little sprigs of broccoli, and 5 slices of carrot. Again, pretty sparse for a $16 dish.

Thai teas were nice!

Server was very attentive, and sweetly mannered!“

“Been to many Thai restaurants in the are since moving back home and by far Tantawan is the best. Food is delicious, generous portions, and the staff is amazing. I had to wait a bit and the employee gave me a thai tea for the wait.“

“Finally decided to drop in and took my vegan friend. When the waitress told her no fish or shrimp in the sauces, she was ecstatic! We loved the eggplant curry and the pumpkin curry! Im so happy, since it's less than a mile from our street!“

“Our recent dining experience at this establishment was highly positive. The curry and Tom Yum soup were particularly noteworthy, and the chicken Satay was also excellent. The portion sizes were generous, surpassing those of other establishments. Furthermore, the staff provided friendly and helpful recommendations. We would certainly consider a return visit.“

“Incredible food, savory broth.“

“Food always great service is ok too! This is like our extended kitchen.“

“My friend and I came to this unassuming family owned restaurant for lunch. She had been there twice and loved it and so I thought I’d give it a try. The lunch special was really excellent. I had the spicy basil with beef and it came with rice and a very fresh quality side salad. My friend enjoyed her chicken pad Thai. It looked so good that I ordered one to go for my husband. He loved it too. The service was warm and attentive. I’ve been searching for a good Thai restaurant to replace Basil and Co, which has excellent food but it’s always crowded, loud, and the service was unapologetically slow at my last visit. Verdict: My new go-to Thai restaurant. It doesn’t have the ambience of Basil and Co but it checks off a lot of important boxes for me.“

“They have really good Soups. Fried rice is pretty tasty as well as the Green / Red curry. Prices have increased quite a bit in the last couple of years . I do wish they close little later at least on the weekends. Please fix your sofa seating area, it is ripping off.

Vegetarian options: Several dishes can be made with veggies and/or tofu.“

“Food: 8/10-10/10 (best orange chicken I've had, oddly enough)

Service: 11/10

Atmosphere: 6/10 (small, skinny and sometimes under air-conditioned; Jeopardy in the TV is a nice touch though-- definitely a candidate for Guy Fieri's Triple-D!)

We moved to the SGV 13 years ago. This was one of the very first restaurants we tried out (other good ones: El super burrito Jr. and Golden Deli). We've dined in on Thai Exellente food ever since, and it is our go-to Thai eatery. The place seems to be run by about 3 women (of whom one, the cook, is seen only from behind, working the stove top), and the service over that decade-plus had been uniformly courteous, friendly and excellent (5/5, 10/10, pick your scale)!

Nov. 10: different recipes today and a newer look inside: has this place changed owners? Say it isn't so! O.o

Poignant, bc we are moving out of the SGV this month. :'/

Adios, T.E. !!“

“Literally the warmest, kindest service I have EVER had. Unreal. And the food is soooo fresh and delicious. And we are serious food snobs, so we mean it. Come here immediately and feel the love!“
