20 Best Thai Restaurants in Pasadena

“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.“

“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!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“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.“

“This place is a hole in the wall with amazing taste! We drove over from Eagle Rock and it was quick and easy. They have a parking lot so parking is available. Taste felt authentic and yummy 😋. Watch out for kick in soup 🔥!
Check them out!“

“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!“

“Great food, great service, generous portions.“

“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.“

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

“Moom 48 Thai in Pasadena absolutely delivers on flavor. I ordered the Panang Curry, and it was incredible — rich, creamy, and full of depth. The balance between the coconut milk sweetness, the subtle spice, and that aromatic Thai basil was spot on. It had just the right amount of heat to wake up your palate without overpowering the dish.

The texture of the curry was silky and perfectly clung to the rice, making every bite warm and satisfying. You can tell the ingredients are fresh — the vegetables still had a nice crispness, and the sauce tasted homemade, not overly salty or heavy.

The restaurant itself has a calm, welcoming atmosphere, perfect for both a casual lunch or a relaxed dinner. The staff were friendly and attentive without hovering, which made the whole experience even better.

In short: Moom 48 Thai captures that perfect mix of comfort and authenticity. If you’re craving curry that hits every note — spicy, creamy, aromatic, and satisfying — the Panang is the move.“

“Great food. Friendly fast service“

“Finally decided to drop in and took my vegan friend. When the waitress told her no fish or shrimp in the sauces, she was ecstatic! We loved the eggplant curry and the pumpkin curry! Im so happy, since it's less than a mile from our street!“

“Incredible food, savory broth.“

“Ordered the Shrimp Tom Yum, Boat Noodle, and papaya salad.

The Shrimp Tom Yum was phenomenal! The flavors really hits you GOOD! I highly recommend trying it out!

The Boat Noodle was DELICIOUS!! Never have I ever had authentic boat noodles taste like this before! I would come again for this experience!
You can tell they let the beef settle in the broth long long to have that flavor!

Lastly, papaya salad. I was a bit disappointed as there was no flavor. I asked med spicy and there wasn’t a single pepper on the papaya… The salad was the let down but overall I come again!!!“

“I'm 1/3 through the menu trying different entrees. So far, every meal has been a tasty treat! The food is always hot, flavorful, colorful . . . and delish!😋“

“Great place for a date! Delicious food and incredible atmosphere. The place was empty at lunch and was more casual, but very much worth trying if you like Thai food. The food was rich in flavors and the duck was cooked so beautifully. Their pad Thai was also a great comfort food option.“

“I had the all white meat Hainan Chicken plate. Everything was absolutely delicious. I’m definitely coming back. I highly recommend this place.“

“Best sushi place I have eaten at with lots of thai & japanese dishes. I have tried other sushi places in the area but the quality of sushi at Oba is incomparable. I have been taste testing sushi places all over LA & SGV but I find myself back here every single time. No other sushi restaurant suits my palate like Oba.

The staff themselves are incredibly welcoming. 100/10!!

i recommend placing a reservation over the phone (super easy process) to avoid a waiting as this place is very popular for its quality dishes :D“
