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.“

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

“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.“

“The food was beyond amazing. Very flavorful and prepared to order so it’s guaranteed fresh! I loved the atmosphere inside, jazz music and ambient lighting really ties the place together. Staff was wonderful and welcoming, went above and beyond to make sure our visit was great. Would definitely recommend.“

“Delicious and nice place.“

“Great food, excellent service and fast seating. Cannot beat a combination of good customer service and food or products. Absolutely nailed the customer service and beautiful menu design with an excellent subtlly beautiful design. If you need Thai food Come here.“

“Amazing food! Nice service and friendly owner!“

“Love this place! Highly recommended :)“

“Great and delicious Pad Thaï! Was fresh and traditional! 💯 I have ordered half shrimp/half chicken. Big portion and leftover. The service was professional and pretty quick. Nice staff. Cute clean warm and welcoming place. Thank you! I highly recommend this restaurant. 👍“

“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!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“This is my OG favorite Thai spot starting way back in 2007 when I moved to Pasadena! I recently went back to give it another try and it's as good as I remember, prices are now considered reasonable and even good especially the lunch specials, and everything still tastes fresh and high quality. Even some of the servers are still some of the original servers from 2007! They said they love working there. The inside is unique, used to be a wall of empty frames but they made it a bit more artsy but definitely eclectic! They also have if you dishes that are not straight tie but Singaporean or Malaysian. A lunch special for two and both of us getting one iced coffee and one Thai tea came out to a whopping ;-) $40. I think that's super reasonable for high quality Thai food and the drinks added $10. Go check it out!“

“Food here is pretty good, esp since it's in Monrovia. The service is friendly but there's a tendency to not look my way. The parking is okay, as the place share a lot with at least 4 other eateries, sometimes it's kinda hard to find a spot. The atmosphere is just okay, a tad too crowded and too loud. It's not for a date night but pretty decent for a simple dinner out.“

“Chili & Lemon Thai Cuisine is the BEST Thai in the area. I have ordered from them multiple times and just recently found out they have their own delivery driver (ONLY A $3 DELIVERY FEE!!) and party trays. Party trays are great as they really take down the price per person and it makes it more fun anyway! We got the 10-12 party tray and it easily fed 11 people + left overs. As this was for a birthday and I told the restaurant they very kindly threw in a sticky rice with mango which was delicious. The food (Pad See Ew) and crab wontons were all GREAT! Everyone was pleased with their meal. Not only that but they delivered promptly (15 minutes EARLY!) I would say they are a great options for a dinner party or for individual meals. Their staff who helped me Sun and one other lady, were extremely helpful and answered all of my questions, and I had a lot of them! I wish I had taken photos, sadly I did not.“

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

“I moved to this area one year ago. Randomly found this amazing restaurant when needing takeout while unpacking. So incredibly tasty and authentic. Literally everything on their menu is delicious. Hidden lil gem. Try it, you won't be disappointed!!“

“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!“

“Excellent Thai restaurant
Starting with steamed chicken dumplings-very tasty. Almost perfect.
Followed by chicken pad-Thai - was nice but somehow missing sourness. But still enjoyable!
The desert, sticky rise with mango- perfect!
Thai iced tea was way too sweet.
Price: although I really enjoyed, I think that it was overpriced. Sorry.“

“The San Gabriel location closed and now I have to drive to Monterey Park. So glad it tastes the same because this place is deliciously delicious. The spicy fried rice is devilishly delectable because of the heat and combined with the pineapple curry it's damn near damning. Screw Flanders.“

“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!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“Good food fast delivery friendly“

“Great food, great service, generous portions.“

“This place is an absolute gem. Best thai food I've had in years. It may be the best Thai restaurant in LA in my humble opinion. Their green curry is as good as it gets. The eggplant in it was the best eggplant I've had in my life and I don't even like eggplants. I love eggplants now. Kad kee mao(?) is a tad bit spicy but nothing over the top. It's so flavorful and cooked to perfection. It's basically pad see yew on crack. Their crispy pork has the best balance between crispy and tender. I hesitated to leave this review because almost don't want this place to get too well-known so it doesn't get crowded but I also don't want them to ever go out of business. That would seriously break my heart.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“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“

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

“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 great... service is good“

“My sister and I always come here, and it never disappoints. The food is honestly some of the best we’ve had, everything is always so fresh and full of flavor. It’s become one of our go-to spots, and we love coming back every time. Highly recommend!“

“Good food , good place, good price 。“

“Server has attention to detail and well educated in the dishes they have, went in looking for specific item and ended up choosing another thanks to her recommendation, The dish that I chose to get was the drunken noodles, the flavor and the ingredients are well combined and the vegetables still have a crispiness to it even though they're fried, I also got to try a new mango pudding, let me tell you as someone who loves fruity desserts, this was a PLUS for me, Loved it. Will be recommending this spot to others and coming back myself for sure!“

“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.“

“The food is good. You have to try the green crème brûlée. It is fire fire. If you want a laugh, ask Steve what’s good on the menu? He hates it. Be prepared for his response. He loves jokes bet you can’t make him laugh. Julie is super nice. Loves to see you and wants you to be in a good mood when you get here and a great mood when you leave . She works super hard to make sure the most excellent dining experience possible. Steve and Julie make sure your kid is having a great experience so that you can relax a bit more than most places. The food is great. It’s fresh. You won’t be disappointed, but remember this is not Chinese fast food. Your orange chicken is not typical. This is Thai food so don’t compare it to Chinese food your broccoli beef is not slivers your orange chicken. Don’t look like slimy meteorites your fried rice is made differently. The noodle plates are not Chinese fried noodles when you order something in a different language that you don’t speak and you never have had it before. taste the food like you’ve never had it before not comparing it to something else. You are experiencing genuine Thai food when Julie is getting down in the kitchen the food is 10 out of 10 her cooking her food is amazing. If you ask for spicy, don’t go hard You will burn your face off I recommend start with a 2 or be ready. I can tell you for sure you will not finish your plate at five spicy but if you wanna have fun, you and your friends can make bets about it When you order your food, not all items come with rice so be sure to ask or order rice don’t expect rice with everything if you want a lot of rice, be sure to say so. Last if Tonya is running the show you have to get her attention because she tries not to disturb you.
Me and my kid have had all kinds of things on the menu. I like the coconut soup with chicken I like the yellow curry chicken and vegetables with number two spicy. Black pepper broccoli beef make sure to order rice. The pad’cs, the fried ricesys, the curlly’s the noodoo’s all of it is good to really really good. Some of the food I ordered i’ve never had it and it definitely wasn’t for me. The food is consistent and always tastes as you remember. It’s a hidden bar in Whittier nobody really knows but the place has a bar. I’ve drank there with a few buddies a few times. Throwback a few pichers bs watch a game chill out after work for a bit ask the bartender stupid questions to get an answer you’ve never heard before ask him about his mariachi band! 😂💀“

“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.“

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

“atención especial y excelente comida !“

“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 😋“

“@traveling_kupo new go to Thai Food for a 7 Sea Soup. Kupo used to travel to Hollywood just for this due to Kupo grew up on their soup. Now closer to home it is a must to stop by every time. A must is the 7 sea soup, Chow Mein combination, steam rice, with fried shrimp. Everything on the menu is always a great choice. Never a disappointed and a Thai Tea to go is a great way to head out.“

“Absolutely delicious food. ❤️“

“Quaint, chill vibe. The food is amazing. So delicious, and comes to the table piping hot and quick. My favorite so far is the yellow curry chicken, and the seafood fried rice, and the crab fried rice. I haven't had anything that wasn't good. One of our go to spots for lunch!!“

“I have not visited this restaurant in several years and over a few changes in management. My recent visit was to try a seafood curry dish that is a little difficult to find and I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy it. The dish is called Haw Mok Talay and it was good. Also had their crab noodles and duck stir fried with basil leaves. All dishes were homey and delicious!“
