50 Best Thai Restaurants near San Gabriel

“Tiny little place serving up food well above its weight class! Really good food! The chef even came out to personally ask us how the food was. So nice! Really interesting decor too! I'd come back with my date! But the place is tiny, so if there's no seating inside, and it's too hot or cold to eat outside, take it to go! The food is worth giving a new home in your belly!“

“Came here to try a new Thai spot after going to President Thai down the street for years and wanting something different. We ordered from the dinner menu, which comes with soup or salad, egg rolls or wontons, and white rice or shrimp fried rice, a great value.

I got the chicken pad Thai and everything was so flavorful and delicious. My boyfriend ordered the yellow curry and it was absolutely amazing, rich and creamy with a coconut base that honestly reminded me of my mom’s Vietnamese curry.

The owner was also incredibly kind and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. Such a welcoming experience. We’ll definitely be back soon!“

“First time dining here and had a great experience. The steamed chicken was tender and moist but my favorite was the flavorful grilled chicken. It was well seasoned and not overcooked. The stir fried Ong Choy veggies were the best I've had in awhile. Very reasonable prices. Excited to come back and try more dishes.“

“My wife has the pad kee mao and I had the spicy crispy pork basil. Both were good, but not great.

At some Thai restaurants, the food all tastes the same and it doesn't really matter what you order. That certainly wasn't the case here. Both dishes were different and we enjoyed them. But they weren't spectacular. The flavors didn't pop and they weren't bright. I'm not sure what was missing, but something about them felt... Less than exciting.

I gave it 4 stars and would happily eat there again if I'm in the area. But it's not worth the drive from the intersection of the 10 & 57 freeways.“

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

“Great atmosphere and lots of food choices. They use fresh ingredients, and the dishes have rich, aromatic flavors. Their spice level is no joke! (Coming from a rural area with limited Asian cuisine options, we’re used to “medium spicy” meaning barely spicy and “level 1” meaning no spice at all - so pardon me lol.)“

“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.“

“Amazing food! Nice service and friendly owner!“

“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!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

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

“Everything was great especially the food. I often order pad see ew at the places I go. It was exceptionally good. The chicken meat was excellent and I will order it that way again. Today on my second visit I’m trying the special curry with the chicken. It smells great and I’m ready to dive in. Thai tea is also good. Not overly sweet and no bite. This is my new go to Thai place.“

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

“Cozy Thai spot with amazing food and very warm servers. Flavors were spot on and everything was very fresh. It seems the chef experiments with new items seasonally and their current special Rice Street Supreme should actually be permanently added. Very flavorful! Chef stopped by each table personally checking if everything was okay. Very homely Thai vibe with great food and warm staff!“

“I finally remembered to try this place. It didn't disappoint. Everything was made fresh to order. The veggies were crisp and tender. The shrimp were nice and plump. The Tom Yum was zesty and flaming.
It's a nice place for friends, family, or a casual date. It's not fancy. You order before you're seated.
The prices are just about the same as most Thai restaurants. Which bothered me a little since we had to stand in line to order.
But overall, it's a great place! It was yummy! It's was peaceful.“

“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.“

“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 food and friendly service! I love their soup noodle and crying tiger.“

“Spices Thai Kitchen is a tiny hole-in-the-wall joint with max 1 or 2 tables inside, so it really feels more like a to-go place. We've only done takeout and our orders are usually ready in ~20 minutes. We most recently got their Pad Thai (thin noodle with egg, bean sprouts, green onions, and tofu) at medium spice and their Yellow Curry (chicken, potatoes, onions, and carrots in coconut milk) at mild. Their curries don't come with rice, so make sure to order a side or have some at home already. And we enjoy spicy food, but here medium packs a lot of heat, so we tend to stick to mild. An absolute neighborhood gem that has become our go to Thai fix in Arcadia.“

“This restaurant serves a lot of dishes I had never even heard of! I tried the Khao klook ga-pi (fermented shrimp rice bowl) - definitely took a chance there but it was absolutely delicious! The servers were helpful with suggestions on how to eat the food and answering questions about the menu. Definitely would love to try more of their menu!“

“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!“

“Parking was good. Food is good for reasonable cost. Service is good. No sign on the back door so you can't tell if it's the correct place. I had yellow chicken curry. It was good tasting with good, but not perfectly cooked chicken. The curry is very watery. I used 2/3 of it, and it made my rice an unpleasant soggy consistency. Spice level is pretty spot on.“

“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!“

“Great food, great service, generous portions.“

“My family and i love this place. Been coming here for years. Even though it doesnt say it. They are open on sundays from 12-8:30pm except the third sunday of the month. At the risk of exposing my to go to spot. This is a hidden gem for some authentic thai. We got a big family and get the pad thai, pad see ew, pineapple curry (i always order side noodles and make it into a ramen :P ), teriyaki chicken, veg. Fried rice, chow mein, pepper garlic, and the broccoli. Never disappointed.“

“Food is excellent and spicy 🌶 enough for my hubby, but mild enough for me! Service is awesome and the owners is super friendly!“

“Interior chill. Order online available. They speak thai here, friendly. Got the veggie only drunken noodle went in hr before close and ordered takeout. Food ready quickly. Hard working. Price quality location everything great. Spicy is def spicy btw and i was thinking of getting the hottest level forgot authentic Thai spicy is diff from european american spicy lol. Definitely would go back. Wasnt greasy. No edamame. Portions great. Menu good. Will try pad thai nxt time and fried rice.“

“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.“

“Muy rica la comida Tun servicio excelente“

“We are vegetarian and unfortunately we're served a soup with a chicken piece in it. Management rectified it immediately. Food was good minus that one incident and the young man with a moustache serving us was extremely professional and pleasant. We are from Houston and this was our first meal in LA. Definitely a big plus for this restaurant. Will return for future meals“

“Excellent Food! Excellent Service!!! I was having a stressful day and decided to get some delicious Pad Thai from my favorite restaurant, Srisiam Thai Kitchen. The cashier delivered the food to me while I was in my car and I was gifted eggrolls! Thank you so much for ending my stressful day on a good note! I truly appreciate your delicious food and superb customer service! Thank you so much!“

“Great and tasty food. First time order and won’t be the last. Very fresh and flavorful. Service was so amazing, a little order hiccup and they instantly fixed it and couldn’t be kinder, not to mention giving a few extra drinks to be apologetic. The orange chicken was very fresh and delicious. Can’t wait to order again!!!“

“Good food fast delivery friendly“

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

“I am not the type of person to do many reviews but I feel this restaurant deserves one, especially, my recomendation. Tried this place with a couple of friends who are very picky when it comes to the authenticity of Asian food, especially when it comes to Thai food. Their verdict was that it's the real deal. We all enjoyed the delicious food and the awesome service. This could be our go-to place for Thai food from now on! 👍“

“Food is great... service is good“

“Good food , good place, good price 。“

“I walked into a small restaurant and was greeted by the owner who was very polite and accommodating, it was clean and atmosphere was welcoming. I ordered Yellow Curry w/chicken & Pad Si Ew Noodles with beef to go, I was asked to have a seat and about 12-15 mins later the food was ready to go. The yellow curry was tasty but I tend to have very high standards when it comes to curry. It was more than adequate but it could have been spicier and to be honest, I’ve had better and worse. However, the Pad Si Ew Noodle with beef was AWESOME! It was so delicious and perfectly balanced. I would definitely come back just for this dish 😋“

“Un lugar muy limpio. Y la comida muy rica. Su personal muy amable .Es un restauran familiar.“

“By far one of the best Thai food spots in LA family owned since the 80s been coming to them since I was a kid. Their 7 sea soup is amazing. So glad they opened this spot in Pico Rivera. I used to go all the way to their Hollywood location. Will be coming way more than I should.“

“atención especial y excelente comida !“

“Truly stellar food! Been here multiple times and it’s always blown me away - not just your typical Thai place. The flavors are bold, the chicken satay, Penang curry, and sticky rice are highlights. This is probably gonna end up on the best restaurants in LA list soon and I’m just happy to know about them before they blew up.“

“This place has amazing food! I am vegan and I had the curry with fried tofu, the pineapple rice and the coconut rice (some dishes may have been vegetarian) and the food was incredible! I had these dishes to go, but what was really superb was the hospitality of the guy who took my order he might be the owner he has a new Zealand or Australian accent, his hospitality was incredible, while I was waiting he offered me water and just amazing amazing service and the food was de-licious! I highly recommend it!!“

“This is the best kept secret in glendale, I love their Pad Thai it's the best ive personally ever had and their crab fired rice is so good too! Ashley always gives me great service and its a cute little place. I come here 2-3 a week and look forward to it every time! Thai Touch is the best thai food hands down in the LA AREA and I've tried most of the places. The cook is an IRON CHEF here!“

“Friday 3/28/25 Dinner at Fire Tiger Thai Food in Whittier with my friends Erwin and Victoria. Enjoying a wonderful dinner together after a hard day’s work. We ordered Shrimp pad Thai, fire tiger wings, seven sea soup, crying tiger, and mango sticky rice. The foods were so delicious and savory and a good size portion. Not salty, not too spicy, just right to taste with all the herbs and spices.

Nikki, service staff, was super nice and work diligently to serve all the customers.

The restaurant was beautifully decorated with flowers and was cleaned.

I recommend trying this restaurant.

“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.“

“Decided to try this place out last night and its was amazing. The lady that helped us was so sweet and did not judge us on the amount of food we ordered. The food was the best thai we have had and we go to a lot of thai restaurants because of all the flavor it had. We got the spicy basil fried rice, orange chicken (crispiest orange chicken I've ever had), Kung pao beef, chow main, yellow curry, and pad see ew. We had tons of left over and it was still delicious for lunch today. 100% will go back again.“
