“🐅🐅🐅🐅 yum yummy.. crying tiger so good“

“One of the best Thai food I had in LA. We had a group of 9 and the servers were very accommodating to get us a table. The food was awesome- we ordered Pad Thai, Panang Curry, Box of Prawns, Rainbow rice, crusted Salmon and Hot Mermaid. The food came out quickly and the service was great.“

“Staff friendly and awesome Thai foods“

“😃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.“

“love is place especially the salads very nice the waitress is very nice delicious yummy food“

“Best food in town and sports merchandise“

“Loved the food, great experience and atmosphere“

“Absolutely amazing experience at At Bangkok! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was packed with authentic Thai flavor, and the service was incredibly friendly and attentive from start to finish. The atmosphere was cozy, modern, and perfect for a relaxing meal. You can tell they truly care about quality and customer experience. Definitely one of the best Thai spots I’ve been to and I’ll absolutely be coming back. Highly recommend!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Delicious and nice place.“

“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. 👍“

“OMG this place is fire. Don't judge the restaurant by the exterior. It truly is a hole-in-the-wall, hidden gem. I was losing hope in LA restaurants (we're visiting from NorCal) but this was honestly the best Thai food I've ever had! We tried the Panang Curry with Tofu and the Drunken Noodles with Tofu. EXCELLENT VEGETARIAN OPTIONS!! Everything tasted homemade, authentic, and most of all, FRESH! I can't wait to return and try other dishes :)“

“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 order papaya salad hardyai chicken and pudkeemaw we like it all we will come back for sure.“

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

“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.“

“The best Thai food at the best prices in LA. They actually give a good portion here compared to most places around AND it tastes the best. They're also open late for us night owls. I love the curries here (the green and red are my favorite). I wish I could just eat curry and drink Thai iced tea EVERY day ^_^“

“Extremely fresh seafood!

We came here with the red dinning book 📕. Got two entrees and an appetizer for 2 people, koi soi, tiger prawn curry and raw scallops. The koi soi is actually a pasta, so it was quite a surprise to me, there is no soup in the dish. The curry in the tiger prawn dish is full with prawn roe sauce, very rich.

Everything tastes good and I would come back for the 2nd time for sure!“

“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!“

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

“Today I went to eat with my friend and I liked the food and I’m happy to see that they changed their staff since previously the other boy had a terrible attitude to serve customers but today I left very satisfied to see that they served me very well“

“Best Thai food in LA! 🔥🔥🔥“

“Great food, great atmosphere“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great spot. Great people. Great concept. Fun time. It's a must.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“Great food, great service, generous portions.“

“A really wonderful dining experience! The food is so creative while maintaining integrity to both Thai and Japanese cuisines. It was really fun to be all seated at the bar for the Autumn kaiseki menu. The sommelier was so fun and friendly and recommended not only incredible wines, but bonus sake tastings well. it's the kind of place that does a fixed menu, but you wanna keep going back because it rotates and everyone's so friendly a perfect blend of upscale and Neighbourhood vibe..“

“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.“

“In the photos, I got:
Pad Woon Sen & Deep Fried Eggplant served with Rice.

Pad Woon
The sauce mixed in the noodles was pretty savory and the whole dish itself was flavorful. However, personally I feel like Vermicelli Noodles aren't for me. If you're a fan, give this dish a try!

Deep Fried
You get a choice of protein. I picked beef. The eggplant was very flavorful and the texture was perfect. Usually these are very soggy and oily in asian cuisine, but to me this one is just right. It's my favorite eggplant dish so far.

Definitely coming back again some time to try out more of their food. :)“

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

“Best clubhouse and support group around. I love that they have a great homemade Thai food restaurant and wonderful people that work there, especially the men at the front desk.

Absolutely warm and loving place with tremendous support and meetings. 💕🤟
Go and find out !“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great place....spicy beef salad and mango sticky rice are awesome.“
