This restaurant is popping! I came on a Saturday night and it was completely full with 4 parties ahead of me, but I was seated in around 35 minutes.
I ordered the mama pot and the flavor was rich, spicy, and deep. Sort of a tom yum taste but heavier and creamier. The Pad See Ew and Pad Thai were very flavorful as well. The mango sticky rice was sweet and tasty, and the papaya salad was crunchy just the way I like it.
A couple things to pick on: the crispy pork was really dry and I had to keep it submerged in the soup to soften it up. The service can also be hard to flag down due to how busy it gets, but that’s more a matter of suffering from success lol.
Overall 5 stars from me!

Set in a small strip mall on a busy street in Pasadena this Thai focused restaurant offers authentic dishes and big portions. Very friendly staff and parking is available. Recommended

Extremely mid, sweetest pad Thai I’ve had. Cutting skill is mid as well, huge portions tho. Came because of overwhelming positive reviews but left with disappointment

The tom kha soup was incredible! The papaya salad not so much. It wasn’t spicy AT ALL so it tasted unbalanced and too sour. I’m used to spicy papaya salad at all Thai places without specifically ordering it spicy. There wasn’t an option for spicy on the delivery order options for the papaya salad. The restaurant may want to make sure to add that option. I also requested chili sauce and chilies in vinegar to be included in my order (would have solved the papaya salad issues) but they were not included so it brought down the quality of the meal for me. These are the reasons for only 3 stars. Much room for improvement on delivery order requests and the papaya salad. I spent $85 and didn’t feel it was worth it over all.

All the food here was too sweet and My noodles came out burnt, chicken was dry. Came in with high hopes.. Not agreeing with the hype on this place.. pricing reasonable

My partner and I came on Saturday evening around 1900. The place was just starting to get busy but luckily we got sat. We ordered one appetizer and two entrees. The food did take a bit longer to come out but they made up with how polite and apologetic they were. In the end you can’t rush great food. The tam ka with shrimp with medium spice can clear up your nose 😂😂. Still delish. We will come back and try some more dishes. Can’t stress how professional the staff are, it’s the little things that make a dinning experience worth it. The price points also are great!
