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.)“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“Love this place! Highly recommended :)“

“Delicious and nice place.“

“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.“

“Amazing food! Nice service and friendly owner!“

“I’m a regular here. The staff is extremely friendly, the food is delicious and affordable with decent portions! One of my favorite Thai restaurants! I recommend the Chicken Satay, Crying Tiger, Pot Stickers, Curry Noodles, Fried Rice, Coconut Shrimp, or maybe just try anything!“

“broooo, where do we begin. Best hainan spot in SGV, definitely one of the best Asian places in Azusa/Glendora area. Americans need to be put on to hainan chicken, just cuz it’s not fried and brown outside doesn’t mean it’s not good. Hainan is steamed in so much spices and flavor and since it’s not fried, it’s so juicy and healthy. Please do yourself a favor and try it out. polarkriss the manager is also an angel. He’s always there greeting the guests and I always have great conversations with him.

10/10 would come again (I eat here every week tbh)“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 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.“

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

“Spices Thai Kitchen is a tiny hole-in-the-wall joint with max 1 or 2 tables inside, so it really feels more like a to-go place. We've only done takeout and our orders are usually ready in ~20 minutes. We most recently got their Pad Thai (thin noodle with egg, bean sprouts, green onions, and tofu) at medium spice and their Yellow Curry (chicken, potatoes, onions, and carrots in coconut milk) at mild. Their curries don't come with rice, so make sure to order a side or have some at home already. And we enjoy spicy food, but here medium packs a lot of heat, so we tend to stick to mild. An absolute neighborhood gem that has become our go to Thai fix in Arcadia.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.

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

“Muy rica la comida Tun servicio excelente“

“Good food , good place, good price 。“

“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“

“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 🤤“

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

“Good food fast delivery friendly“

“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! 👍“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 !! �“

“Quaint, chill vibe. The food is amazing. So delicious, and comes to the table piping hot and quick. My favorite so far is the yellow curry chicken, and the seafood fried rice, and the crab fried rice. I haven't had anything that wasn't good. One of our go to spots for lunch!!“

“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.“

“Amazing food, welcoming and friendly owners and cozy atmosphere with nice parking. Had the green curry and satay chicken. So good! Ordered the noodles with my curry. Has such a lovely conversation with the owner. Just moved into the area and adore this place already. Will come back for sure!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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 🥰🤣“
