I ordered a takeout spicy shrimp tom yum from this place today. It was sweet. It wasn't salty, the tom yum flavor was light, and it was mostly sweet. It was honestly pretty bad that I had to add water to dilute it before adding extra salt. Then, it was edible. I had a gut feeling that the cook might have made the cliche mistake of mixing salt and sugar, because I have never had tasted a spicy tom yum that sweet before. For the price of $17.75, I'd say the serving size was barely enough for 2 people.

This wwas the most horrible experience. I asked for BBQ chicken they gave this without telling me that they did not have BBQ CHICKEN which I asked for. It was fried, salty and cold. Pad Tai was no flavor and salty. They offered something else that tasted horrible too. No. I do not recommend it.

I can't count the amount of times I drove to Grand Century/ Vietnam Town just to grab Thai Lover.They are located in the food court of Grand Century ( go through the main entrance, make a left to go to the food court, and they're the first one). I would say the have the BEST CRAB PAD THAI.(I have also tried their vegetarian pad thai and their shrimp pad thai. I love them both). The cashier was friendly and nice. She warned me about getting the Pad Thai spicy... their spicy level got me sweaty! Good thing I got a thai tea to wash down the heat (and it was only $4!!)

On a spontaneous lunch date with my little brother and mom, we stumbled across the Grand century mall and decided to try Thai Lovers. Some thing about the food court in the mall has always been comforting to me so ambiance was very much there today!Service was super surprising to me not to long after we ordered, the Pad Thai came out along with the Thai tea which was perfect. Alongside quick service came nice workers. I found the workers kind, and in general felt comfort while eating there.As for the food, the Pad Thai was super filling to me. Perfect portion even for two, the crushed peanuts also give it points ;) Now, the mango sticky rice I will never stop thinking about it. It was very rich and the mangoes were super sweet. In all, I recommend you try Thai lovers next! Perfect spot, and please, please, please, order the mango sticky rice, you WON'T regret it!

I wanted to try a new Thai restaurant and found this place nearby. It is located in an indoor plaza and I ordered the house special fried rice with pineapple which tasted savory and had a sweet aftertaste with the pineapple! The cucumber slices were refreshing and were a nice touch. They have so many options to choose from so it was hard for me to decide. I am a visual person and the menu was located on the walls with a bright yellow background which made it difficult to see what the food looked like. The photo on the wall and the food that I received looked different but it tasted good! I just think it would be nice if they updated the photo quality. I went here after a hike on 4th of July so many of the other stores were closed and it was very quiet. The service was nice and pleasant and the ambiance was causal.

I've been coming here for years and the food doesn't disappoint.Service: Friendly and hospitable. Used to serve free Tom Yum soup and Thai Iced Tea. Though, that was pre-Pandemic.Ambiance: Located in Grand Century Mall. Tiny shop with large menu board and a few tables close to the restaurant. But have additional tables to accommodate the other restaurants.Food:Pad Thai Noodles (4/5). Not as saucy or sweet like other places. Pretty tasty.Chang Mai Noodles Style with Prawns (3.5/5). It was good, but the clear Noodles weren't the same as the rice noodles.Yellow Curry Chicken with Green Papaya Salad (4/5). Nice and creamy. Not as running as other places.Panang Curry with Green Papaya Salad (4/5). Delicious.Grilled Jumbo Prawns topped with Spicy Tamarind Sauce (3.5/). Portion size was a bit small. But taste was good.

Got the pad Thai and crispy egg noodle stir fry. The pad Thai portion this day seemed a bit off. Too much beans sprouts, but the pad Thai here always hits the spot. The crispy egg noodle with stir fry is good if eaten immediately. After a while, the noodles get soggy and soaked in the sauce, so it's a bit salty. The service was really fast and the were really friendly! The food court area is a bit loud if you go on a weekend, but on a week day, grand century is pretty quiet.I heard the crab fried rice is also really good and will be coming back for it!

This place is inside the mall at the food court area. The service here is great and they are so friendly. I ordered my food to go. I tried the pad see ewe, game hen, crab friend rice and basil chicken. The pad see ewe was decent. It lacked some flavor but the noodles and the gailan were good. Could have used more egg too. The game hen was my favorite. It was crispy and tender on the inside and came with a wonderful sauce. The crab fried rice was a little salty but good. They do use real crab and not imitation The basil chicken was very spicy, but so flavorful. It has such a great fragrance with the basil and sauce. A nice place to go if you just want to pick up some thing and eat at home.

Nice folks and service was fast.Wanted to just walk around on a Sunday afternoon and craving some thai food.I got the 10. Bangkok noodles with beef. First time trying it and i hope it's good.They got two tables and plenty nearby to sit and eat. It's like a food court style plaza.
