22 Best Thai Restaurants in Pasadena

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

“Delicious and nice place.“

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

“As soon as you open the door at Kwan Kitchen, you are greeted with a friendly ‘how can I help you?’ Seating was available and we asked for some time to go over the menu. When the server returned she was very helpful in answering questions about the menu and on what to order. Spiciness is on a scale of 1 to 5. We both ordered level 2. We started our meal with fried dumplings to share. They were excellent! We then ordered tom yum soup and two entrees to go - pad see ew and pad thai.

The tom yum had veggies and shrimp and was excellent, even reheated. The shrimp was cooked to perfection, no easy feat in a soup.

Pad see ew was very good and good value as it provided more than one meal. Good balance of ingredients but would order a higher spice level next time.

Pad thai was likewise a good selection and tasted great reheated.

Be aware there are a lot of customers picking up and the parking lot is very tight.

I look forward to returning and trying their very popular curry!“

“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.“

“Love this place! Highly recommended :)“

“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 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“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great food, great service, generous portions.“

“Pretty nice Thai restaurant. They have lots of options and seems very authentic. This is the first place I have been to that offers combination meat with chicken, pork, beef, and shrimp together, which is great for variety. I got the pad Thai, and it was good but too sweet for my taste. The waitress was very nice and the place is clean.“

“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!“

“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 💐“

“Incredible food, savory broth.“

“Great food. Friendly fast service“

“Great Lunch and downscale Thai dining. The food is delicious and the service quick and courteous. Plenty of pricier options fall short of this flavor and quality.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly with patio seating.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes. Mostly outdoor in patio.“

“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 paid less than $20 for a small coffee and one of the best breakfast bacon bagels I've had in a long time! It appears to be a family shop. Friendly service. Quiet spot. Will come back the next time I have a hair appointment across the street.“

“I feel like this place would be a lot more popular if it was in a better location. A really nice restaurant offering a large selection of Japanese and Thai food. I only tried the sushi omakase and it was quite good. Good quality and presentation, with all sorts of different fish. Reasonably priced too, great spot for families and groups.“

“If you guys want affordable great food, this is the place to go. As a student, it’s difficult to find food that’s within a reasonable budget due to all other expenses, but this place honestly takes the cherry on top. Every time I’ve come to eat here it’s been great experience for me and not to mention the food is simply AMAZING.

To me, this is my go to Pho place every time I am around Pasadena or if I am going to PCC. Overall, all their food I’ve tried so far (and I’ve tried a lot from their menu) has not disappointed me.

Please give it a try, I am sure you’ll love it just as much!“
