50 Best Thai Restaurants near Montebello

“First time here. I was visiting my very good friend and he wanted to have Thai food.

We walked in around 5pm ,and the restaurant is pretty busy, at least half full.

We ordered Tom Yum Soup, Spicy Combination Fried Rice, Spicy Beef Salad, Chicken Chili Basil and Tofu and Chicken Mix Vegetables. The serving size is big enough to share. We had more than enough food for the 3 of us.

Great flavors, well prepared, high quality ingredients and you can taste the authenticity. The Beef Salad to much acidity. The Chicken Chili Basil is on the sweet side. Even the jasmine rice is good quality and taste. My only complaint is the spice level is mild even when we ordered spicy. Just add more with prik nam pla. In the end, we shared an order of the fried banana with coconut ice cream. I wish they bananas were bigger.

Service is attentive and prompt. We got our food with a little wait. Two service staff was very effective managing even when the restaurant was almost full.

Overall first time impression was great making our dining experience an enjoyable one. Solid 4 STAR 🌟.“

“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.“

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

“Pad See Ew is delicious! 🤤 their Thai tea is great too!!!“

“Amazing food! Nice service and friendly owner!“

“As a Thai person, this place is soooo good. They got the Kao Man Thai Tod, which is Hainan Fried Chicken. Its so hard to find in LA but this place got! Not only that they got Kao Neow Kai Tod, which is Fried Chicken with sticky rice. I really recommend this place!

Their service is also amazing, this is my third time coming here and they remember me ? they always greet their customer warmly and make them feel welcome!

ขอบคุณมากๆเลยนะค่ะ ?“

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

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

“Stopped by on our way to the mall and this place didn’t disappoint. The Thai Mexican fusion is a little different but even though we didn’t try it the Thai dishes we ordered were excellent.
Service was good but the owner made up for it by being very attentive.

Very affordable for the portion and quality. Don’t skip this place!“

“Delicious and nice place.“

“I finally remembered to try this place. It didn't disappoint. Everything was made fresh to order. The veggies were crisp and tender. The shrimp were nice and plump. The Tom Yum was zesty and flaming.
It's a nice place for friends, family, or a casual date. It's not fancy. You order before you're seated.
The prices are just about the same as most Thai restaurants. Which bothered me a little since we had to stand in line to order.
But overall, it's a great place! It was yummy! It's was peaceful.“

“Great food, great atmosphere“

“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.“

“Thai food in this neighborhood have all fallen for some reason, and I thank this place for opening to pick up where they lack. I think it's great they came into a location that has very mediocre Thai restaurants around with decent ambiance but low quality food. Instead of focusing on a dine in experience, this place is all about delicious Thai take out.
The drunken pad noodles and spaghetti are great and Thai level spicy.
The pineapple fried rice is also delicious.
This is my new go to Thai spot.“

“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.“

“Love this place! Highly recommended :)“

“I really like their food 😋“

“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!“

“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.“

“This new spot just opened recently. I was going to buy Subway next door but decided to go inside this place. It was the best Thai food I’ve ever had. Authentic food! I ordered Tom Kha chicken soup for my son since he was feeling under the weather. He loved it. Then ordered Krapow over rice for me. It was sooo good. Spicy but great flavor. It’s ground chicken with spicy chili garlic sauce and basil leaves over white rice. Friendly service too. I’ll be recommending this place to family, friends and coworkers.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The atmosphere and Sid the owner so friendly and makes you feel so welcome ...awesome food and love the Thai ice tea“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“Great food, great service, generous portions.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“Best Thai food in LA! 🔥🔥🔥“

“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!“

“Wonderful food !!!very fresh and tasty !!! love the eggplant Nathan the waiter was wonderful everything fresh and delicious!!“

“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! 👍“

“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“

“I walked into a small restaurant and was greeted by the owner who was very polite and accommodating, it was clean and atmosphere was welcoming. I ordered Yellow Curry w/chicken & Pad Si Ew Noodles with beef to go, I was asked to have a seat and about 12-15 mins later the food was ready to go. The yellow curry was tasty but I tend to have very high standards when it comes to curry. It was more than adequate but it could have been spicier and to be honest, I’ve had better and worse. However, the Pad Si Ew Noodle with beef was AWESOME! It was so delicious and perfectly balanced. I would definitely come back just for this dish 😋“

“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.“

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

“Had the Tom kha seafood and the pork pad thai. Both were excellent. definitely will be back“

“Friday 3/28/25 Dinner at Fire Tiger Thai Food in Whittier with my friends Erwin and Victoria. Enjoying a wonderful dinner together after a hard day’s work. We ordered Shrimp pad Thai, fire tiger wings, seven sea soup, crying tiger, and mango sticky rice. The foods were so delicious and savory and a good size portion. Not salty, not too spicy, just right to taste with all the herbs and spices.

Nikki, service staff, was super nice and work diligently to serve all the customers.

The restaurant was beautifully decorated with flowers and was cleaned.

I recommend trying this restaurant.

“The food here is so tasty and very inexpensive. Excellent portions.“

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

“This is one of my Thai mom’s favorite restaurants and is also a favorite for my relatives as well. While this is not close to the pinnacle of Thai food, I can admit that most of the dishes are decent. My family always gets the fried pork, thai fish cake and boat noodles. Their sausage is fine.“

“The employees here look like they love working here and are very kind to everyone. Definitely feels like you’re dining in someone’s house by the delicious flavors and welcoming feel of the establishment. This is not a hole in the wall time of place but it’s typically pretty empty. I have tried over four different menu items including the Tom Yum Rice with shrimp, Wonton soup, Crispy Deep Fried Pork Belly with Sweet Peppers (Pad Kra Pao - hopefully I spelled that right), and Pad See Ew to name a some. I LOOVVVEEEE all of their food so far. If I remember the waitress name who typically helps my guests and myself I will come back and edit. Don’t miss out on this amazing place that I can’t compliment enough 💐“
