Quaint little Thai spot. Loved the food and service. Can be a bit of a wait but worth the wait. I recommend it and will be coming back.

Some of the worst Thai food we have ever had. Flavors not Thai, difficult to describe. it is very unfortunate that a business is allowed to serve such garbage. We love Thai food, terrible waste of money.

Excellent food, great staff and vibe. A busy place for good reason. We were in a motel close by for a few days during some home improvements. Liked it so much we did take-out twice. The string beans were the best I've ever had. Even my husband's often dull cashew chicken was noteworthy. All cooked fresh and fast. 100% recommended. We'll collect ourselves or have delivery now we're back in our space not that far up the road. Maybe tonight!

Really good, and huge portions. We usually pick up and it's fast and on time. Love the pad Thai and green curry

This is a very good Thai restaurant in East Pasadena. I came back in 2016 and was rushed through my meal because they close so early. I never came back because it seemed a little rude at the time. I came again and found the food is actually delightful. Service was much friendlier than I remembered. However, the fact is they close early, and if you want to relax and enjoy your meal unrushed, do not come in the last hour of service. Last call is 3 minutes prior to their closing, and they clearly want to get out of there. I understand, but just don't come in the last hour and expect to leisurely enjoy your meal. It's a very tiny restaurant but with a nice, hip decor. Parking can be a little tricky, but we managed to find something. The food itself is high quality and quite good all around. We had the chicken pad see ew, which was terrific. The crying tiger was also excellent, with delicious flavor and good quality beef. The Thai BBQ chicken is a standout. Many places make it with goopy wet sauce on top. This place makes it exactly how we like it. More of a marinade that is then grilled to a dry, crispy exterior. It's really great. The cashew nut chicken was also excellent. Usually, at other places, this isn't spicy, but they do it spicy here, and I like it a lot. The only misfire of the night was the spicy fried rice. Not only was it not spicy at all, but it was outright bland. Not good. Basically, come for an early dinner, but definitely come and try out this place. It's some good eating. Check it out!

This is a cute neighborhood gem! Cute name for a Thai food restaurant! My sister's name is Daisy, too. The place was jamming when we came here for dinner one cold wet evening. It was worth coming here and we all lived far away from Sunland & La Crescenta. You can tell the food was delicious & every dish has the taste of "wok flavor". There were so many dishes to choose from. We couldn't decide so we ordered quite a few dishes to try. No disappointment there! Loved everything we ordered! The portions are very generous! We are eaters, too. The service crews were very nice, attentive & friendly. We will definitely be returning. Here are some of the dishes that we ordered that evening.
Food was edible, but missing key ingredients, making it bland. Papaya salad didn't have the green beans, basil, fish sauce, dried shrimp, garlic, or chilies typically served in this dish. Green curry flavors were balanced, but also not spicy at all. Pad see ew was satisfactory. Cute and clean atmosphere but not the place to get thai food.

WORST FOOD POISONING CASE OF MY LIFE. Me and my boyfriend had a dinner date and ate the Tom Yum soup, pad see ewe, and drunken noodles. We almost admitted ourselves to the ER because we had MAJOR FOOD POISONING. After we ate our food, we vomited and had diarrhea for 8 hours straight. We were completely miserable with stomach cramping, chills, fever, uncontrollable vomiting and diarrhea, weakness. NEVER COME HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO RISK YOUR LIFE BY EATING CONTAMINATED FOOD.

Great food and ambience. We had the Pad Thai and Pad See Ew and both were great! The service was very nice and the place is beautifully decorated. Will come again.

Never thought I would like Thai food until I had their food! Their eggplant dish is my favorite! Their Pad See Ew is great too. Been getting take out a lot from here and hosting guests and serving this up. Amazing! Nothing has ever gone wrong.
