50 Best Thai Restaurants near Monterey Park

“Came for dinner. The service was top notch. The restaurant is cute, inviting, and well lit. There’s ample parking and entrance from the parking lot as well as from the main st. We asked for medium heat and it could’ve been spicier. We were just cautious. All dishes were delicious. Loved the bowl size soup. More than enough for 2 to share. They gave us a rice pudding to close off our meal- delicious.“

“I was told to review for a free Thai Iced Tea: Good atmosphere, the decor and lighting is beautiful! Good service, I went on a busy Friday night so it took a little longer to get the server's attention but they were soooo nice when they attended me. Not the best Thai food I've had, although I'm not a good guide for identifying Thai food authenticity. That said, the Pad Thai was not pleasing to my palette. Personally, it was too salty.
I do like that they their happy hour ends at 8pm on a Friday night, which is pretty late compared to other restaurants, and they are open late as well. Pad Thai -$17 + $4 to add chicken“

“***Tuesday is plant base day.
They do serve some protein on the dishes ( egg base )

All other days are regular meat days

I been coming here since they open. The food is clean and made to order. Some of the dishes sale out by the end of the day.

They have dine in and takeaway.

Spicy eggplant is the best.“

“You know that scene in Ratatouille where the food critic tries the ratatouille and gets transported back to the time when he was a kid and his mom made it for him? That was how I felt when I tried the nasi goreng. I grew up near Singkawang and this is exactly what I ate as a kid. If you want to know what Indonesian food is like, go here.“

“When I went there because it was recommended to me, it was so crowded that I couldn't eat inside.

I tried to make a reservation through Google in advance, but I was unable to make a reservation due to a mysterious error.

I couldn't give up and ordered takeout.

There aren't many items on the takeout menu, but it's by far the most delicious Thai food I've ever eaten.

I've eaten Thai food in many countries, but even take-out food is so delicious that next time I'll definitely eat it freshly prepared at the restaurant.“

“I wasn't expecting to find the best Thai food I've ever eaten to be in Monrovia, but here we are. The owner took time to chat with us about what we might like to order, and all of his recommendations were fantastic. We'll happily be returning soon and with friends in tow!“

“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 ?“

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

“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.“

“I don't know what is going in LA but it's neigh on impossible to get truly authentic Thai food. But here it is! The most authentic you are gunna get. Not loaded in goopy sweet sugar sauces like all the others. This place is small - you are gunna have to wait your turn but boy is this place worth the wait. If you have ever been to Thailand then this place will transport you right back for some amazing nosh.“

“I came to this place a little over week ago and was pretty impressed by the experience. My cousin and I were in the area and decided to get some lunch here. The place is nicely decorated, super clean, and the servers were very friendly. The food was also delicious and the portions were very generous for the prices. I will definitely come back if I’m in the area again.“

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

“Great food, great atmosphere“

“Delicious and nice place.“

“Chili & Lemon Thai Cuisine well know establishment in East L.A on Atlantic Blvd just a block from Whittier Blvd in the heart of East L.A. This is only Thai restaurant in East L.A but not sure but you have travel to Monterey Park or Alhambra to get some Thai cuisine. We often use Door Dash,Grub Hub or Uber eats depends which service delivery on time.

We enjoy Thai cuisine because we know everything made fresh and using fresh ingredients. We notice Chili & Lemon Have be come very popular with Latino communities in East L.A. Our favorite dish are the Teriyaki chicken and Yellow curry with rice. They have good selection of items in their menu everybody enjoy spicy food like Thai.“

“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!“

“Honestly it's delicious. The fried chicken dumplings were delicious with a sweet sauce on the side. Then the fried rice with pork was pretty good as well. Pork was a little dry but adding jalapeños & chili gives it a good kick. The water was refreshing & the plate was really adorbs like something your grandma would have. Highly recommend!“

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

“Food was so good that I tipped the cook. Unfortunately, the server put the money into her pocket and continued to serve the customers. I highly doubt she passed it to the addressee.

Parking: Only few spaces on the street“

“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.“

“Best Thai food in LA! 🔥🔥🔥“

“Fantastic small little hole in the wall in an obscure area. The food is A+! Super authentic Thai food. I always get the spicy basil fried rice combination. So yummy! Been here more than 3 times, and the food is bussin’ each time. Try it out!“

“Feels like a hole in the wall gem. Amazing food every single time I've been. Crab Rangoon & lobster pad thai is out of this world. Dirty thai tea is just the right balance. Service has always been top tier. Pricing is great for quality & quantity. One of my favorite spots to grab a meal.“

“Love this place! Highly recommended :)“

“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.“

“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.“

“The food is very good they have excellent service and customer service I really like to eat here since they cook according to the order that one makes everything is delicious I recommend that you come to eat here at the restaurant all the dishes they have are very delicious and exquisite???“

“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.“

“Great food, great service, generous portions.“

“The pad see ew was a solid dish—smoky, flavorful, and well-executed. The pad Thai was pretty standard—not bad, but nothing special. The papaya salad was disappointing, lacking depth and the bold flavors it should have.

On the bright side, the Vietnamese coffee was excellent—strong, rich, and exactly how it should be. Overall, a decent spot, but I’d stick to the stir-fried noodle dishes and the coffee.“

“I had a great experience with food and service here. The boba for their Thai tea is made fresh daily, and the signature Rice street noodle is something I have never had. The mango sticky rice is level beyond. Also, the hospitality of the owner and staff are second to none. I felt like part of their family the moment I walked in. This is probably one of the best Thai restaurants that I ever tried.“

“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.“

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

“Charming cozy place for thai food. The older gentleman/owner I believe, was so accommodating and nice! Very patient explaining the menu and on top of everything serving my family. I also had called ahead and asked if they had a wait time for 6 people since it was a weekend and very hot. And he said come on in! My family and I got there to a table that had a reserved sign and 6 iced waters waiting for us! What restaurant has ever done that to me before? Enjoyed our time“

“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!!“

“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 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.“

“Was craving pineapple fried rice, was $18 with shrimp, delicious and exactly what I was looking for, they had it ready in 10 minutes. Very sweet people And I was really thankful that they're open pretty late.Too bad I don't live in the neighborhood or else I go there way more often but it was really easy to find.If you order pickup, over the phone so they don't have to pay the apps.“

“I absolutely love this place, I’ve been coming here for years and every single experience has been so good. When I want to dine in for a pleasant and peaceful lunch I know this is the place I want to eat. Their yellow curry is phenomenal and their Pad Thai is out of this world. The servers here are so attentive and sweet and they even remember my order now and know exactly what I want when I come in. The owners are honestly such sweet people who really care about your experience here.
10/10 food and service. Please try it out!“

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

“Went for dinner with my daughter. The owner was very friendly, offered whole milk for her! That was great. The good was great, service was great. Will come back! 💯

Kid-friendliness: High chairs are available, booths against the wall seating are great for little ones to sit on if they don't like to be in high chairs.“

“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!“

“Its my part time job i love there menu i tryed every thing“

“Good food , good place, good price 。“

“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“

“Most of the time I order out and P/U but also I dine in and in my opinion, either way, the food is very good and made to special order, atmosphere of the restaurant is cozy with comfortable booth seating, service is good, but food is good quality and very flavorful. Thai Spirit is my go to Thai place when I’m craving Thai.

Vegetarian options: You could custom order just about anything to be vegetarian and substitute with tofu if you like tofu.“

“The pad kee mao is really good ❣“
