Picked up take out tonight. Ordered online and called to confirm order, took 4 calls of long ringing and then party is not available voicemail picking up so we weren't sure they were even open. Finally answered and said 30 mins from the time we called. Went in there and there was one table being used. Ordered Pad See Ew with beef, crab noodles and pork wontons. Pork wontons the best thing about the meal. Pad See Ew didn't have the broccoli in it, was spicy even though requested no spice and just not great. It had some type of leafy green in it - maybe kale, not appetizing. The crab dish was very sour. Should be an interesting night. What a bust. We will stick to our usual place next time. Very disappointing and very pricey for the quality of food. Fish tank at front door is filthy. Whole experiencing not great. So many other good Thai options around. We won't be back.

Wow! The crab noodles are out of this world. Very tasty, with a nice balance of sweet and slightly sour. The Tom kha came with real crab, too. The service was lovely, by the owner, and the ambiance is nice and quiet. Relaxing spot where you can enjoy a nice homestyle meal. In the area, I would argue the food quality is better than President Thai's. This is real, Thai authentic! Can't wait to go back and try other dishes.

A small and homey spot that only had one person working but he was super attentive and sweet to us. Honestly some of the best, affordable Thai food in the area and it was not too busy on a Sunday during lunch time. My favorite dish had to be the Crispy Chicken Fried rice, the chicken was soo crispy and moist and the fried rice was well balanced with sweet, savory and some sour flavors. The yellow curry was not as spicy as we had hoped, with little to no kick although we had ordered medium spice. Pad thai and papaya salad were both solid!

Decent food here the ambience or space itself wasn't all that pleasant. No music, all in all the place was drab. The owners are lovely.

Always yummy food. Must try if you like eating at small businesses that are good. My kids and I love the pad Thai and seafood soup. The gentleman that orders your food is always attentive and kind.

I returned and decided to try the panang curry and pad Thai. The food was delicious and comforting. My forever go to Thai place.

The best Thai food restaurant in the area! Been coming here for years and the food is amazing. Family owned and operated, the misses makes the dishes amazingly everytime we go. The service can be a little slow because it is just the husband running the floor while taking phone calls but he is sweet and very nice. The restaurant is very cozy as well. Definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for Thai food or any vegetarian options as well!

Quaint place with Thai decor and good food. First time trying and their flavors are nice. I ordered a yellow curry. Not overly sweet and mild spicy was just right. Nice hot egg roll and salad with it, along with rice. I liked their tofu soup as well. Simple. Rice soup was also pretty tasty and this place has other dishes that are not the typical Thai menu items that people usually know about. The owner was nice and atmosphere too.

I've been here a couple of times now, but unfortunately, I find their dishes skewed towards the sour side. For example, I had the grilled beef salad, nam Tok. It looks good, but the flavor just isn't there. Too sour, lacked fish sauce and sweetness; it was just not well balanced.
The chicken pad Thai is magnificent and very authentic, as far as I can tell. Expect lovely service with a quiet smile.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. I moved from the east coast about 6 years ago and for years I could NOT find any Thai place that knows how to make Laos style papaya salad. Everywhere I went looked at me weird like what is that? Now, I finally found a place that can make food that taste VERY close to my grandma's cooking and you know if someone can cook food that taste almost like your grandma's food.. then it's GOOD GOOD. Overall the place is nice feel very homey and service is good! I suggest you come here and try their Nam took & papaya salad Laos style. The papaya salad contains fermented fish but I promise you if you try both papaya salads their delicious I just prefer it Laos style.

This place is good for the cheap Thai food in the East Pasadena area. The owner is really friendly and aware if you need water to be replenished. The food I got was Pad See You which is a dish that's like a Chow Fun with a Thai flair. If you get the coffee or Thai Tea, be aware that the sweetness level cannot be modified. I got their curry chicken yellow and they put it extra spicy which I like it a lot!!! The restaurant has aquarium for the kids to see and a big fish to stare at. To describe the food is decent but the owner's friendliness made me come back again and the food.

The food was excellent and the owner was super nice. I will definitely be back soon. I really enjoyed the chicken satay and the passion fruit smoothie. My husband ordered the Chinese chicken salad and it was delicious too!!
