I absolutely loved my experience at Bangkok Soul! Every dish we ordered was delicious, especially the Spicy Stir-Fried Catfish, the Chicken Satay, and the Pork Jerky. Everything was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. The service was also excellent,friendly, attentive, and welcoming. I highly recommend Bangkok Soul if you're looking for authentic Thai food in a great atmosphere. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

services was good. food on the other han is so so. we ordered larb fried chicken wings, two noodles soups and ground chicken rice. Our fried chicken wings was given to the table next to us that they just placed the order and we had to wait another 10 minutes for ours. Ground chicken Krapao tray rice was so salt that I can not eat it. told the waiter and he didn't do anything about it. will never go back to this play. one and done. read more

Trying this place the very first time, and for sure it won't be the last. The food here are amazingly good, the donut shrimp are for sure a must try. The deep fried fish with bone on the side is so crispy and soft, the dipping sauce is little bit spicy but really good! Fresh coconut water will always be my first choice, and their Thai green milk tea is not overly sweet at all! Love it. The servers are so friendly and knowledgeable with all dishes. The restaurant is very clean and nice decorated. Will definitely come back soon again to try other dishes. read more

I don't understand the hype. The food was not good. We ordered a pad Thai for my toddler. It was sour and burnt tasting like one other review had mentioned. The cashew chicken, which completely lacked flavor, panang curry, which tasted odd and a tom kha soup which wasn't as creamy as usual but had a nice flavor. Very skimpy on the chicken in all dishes even when it was the main ingredient like the cashew chicken. Also the chicken was poor quality. Service was pretty bad as well. They sat us in the back corner by the bathroom and never checked on us. At one point, a waitress, put down the wrong item on our table and just walked away and ignored my multiple "excuse me".... Could never flag someone down bc they refused to make eye contact. Basically, if we wanted something we had to get out of our seat to go get somebody. I'd never return. read more

Picked this place because of all the positive reviews, unfortunately our meal was less than stellar. The satay was the best of 3 items and it was just okay. The Pad Thai was mediocre, not much flavor. The Pad See Ew was terrible. It had a burnt aftertaste that ruined our entire meal. Disappointed. read more

Their lunch special here is really good. It comes with soup, a side appetizer entree, and a drink. We ordered a variety of items each time we stop by. From the shrimp pad Thai, beef pad see ew, chicken pad kee mao, ground chicken Thai basil, Thaihanese chicken, and crispy pork. Our favorite item is their shrimp donut which is not part of the lunch special. Their daikon soup is flavorful. Their Thai tea and chrysanthemum tea are tasty. Service is quick and nice. They took over the old Ten Ren location. Located in the same plaza as Smart and Final. read more

Enjoyed a casual weekend lunch here with my husband. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and shown to our table. This restaurant has a more modern and contemporary atmosphere compared to a traditional Thai restaurant. I like how spacious and inviting the place felt. To start, we shared the Cream Cheese Rangoon appetizer. These are crunchy, creamy bites of imitation crab and cream cheese wrapped in wonton skin, served with a side of sweet chili dip. The tangy cream cheese tasted great combined with the crispy wonton skin. This is a great sharing dish. We also shared an order of the Wonton Soup BBQ Pork, a Cantonese-inspired soup dish with Thai touches. The portion for this seemed a bit small, with only 3 wontons total. It has a light chicken broth with hand-folded shrimp and chicken wontons, BBQ pork, napa cabbage, bokchoy, scallions, and fried garlic. Taste-wise, it was good. This is a solid choice if you want something light and aromatic. The star of our meal was definitely the Pad Thai. There are several protein options, including tofu, chicken, pork, and more. We decided to go with the pork. This dish is stir-fried rice noodles with egg, tofu, fresh bean sprouts, green onion, and crushed peanuts. It had the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, savory, and nutty flavors. The noodles were cooked perfectly and tasted super flavorful. I will definitely be coming back here whenever I am craving some yummy Thai food. The parking lot is shared with some other businesses and it seems that there are plenty of parking spots during most of the day. In addition to the onsite parking lot, there is nearby street parking if needed. read more

Came here with a group of friends. This restaurant is located in a big plaza that has a lot of parking. This place is not noise at all that we are able to chat. We were seated promptly. Our server was friendly and attentive. We ordered chicken wings, tom yum soup with shrimp, pad Thai, pad see ew, some rice dishes, and mango sticky rice. I love the pad Thai and pad see ew, they are very flavorful, and not too oily! I have not had good Thai food in the 626 area for a long time! I did not try their rice dishes. The to yum soup was not overly sour, and I can taste the freshness of the shrimp. The skin of the chicken wing is crispy, which is how I like it! Will be back again for more food. read more

Needed something tasty for lunch. Thai food sounded like a great idea and this place hit the spot. We phone in our order and grabbed it for to-go. Glad the staff asked if we wanted it as a lunch combo, worth! Crispy Fried Chicken (lunch special)- we chose green salad which is pretty standard with sesame dressing, there was a hint of ginger which I personally loved. The chicken was definitely crispy, juicy and flavorful; batter was light and airy. The rice was seasoned well and a good texture. Would come back for this dish again. Pad Thai wasn't bad but wasn't the best I've had either. Noodles were pretty mushy and soggy. I would prefer a bit of a bounce. read more

Went on a Friday evening around 6/6:30, waited probably 15 mins maybe a little longer to get seated. The place was packed and there were 3 parties ahead of us. Didn't feel too long bc the menus are on the door so it gave us time to figure out what we wanted. The selection is fantastic, there is a ton to choose from. The area was very clean despite being packed with people. The restrooms were also clean and well kept. Now the food - the food was DELICIOUS. I have tried a handful of the thai places and honestly I haven't had as great of an all around experience as we did here. The tofu was perfectly soft and crispy, the pad thai was a good balance sweet and savory. The plate was also huge!! I have so much leftovers. We split the green beans which was a nice portion for the 3 of us, and beware there is a good kick to the spicy ones! My friends got the chili basal and rad nah which they mentioned it was also very tasty. We all agreed we definitely need to return to try another dish as well! I also want to that our server was really great at recommending menu options. We also had a fish allergy in our group which they were accommodating with removing the fish sauce. They also accidentally made the green beans with the sauce as well but she came running out (literally) when she realized it was made with that (probably barely 30 seconds time had lapsed). Another nearby thai place was not like that and much less helpful about the allergy in our group. So overall we were very happy at the service, food, and experience. We are 100% going to return and bring more people. read more

I'm always a little skeptical about trying a new Thai place since most eateries I've gone to have been pretty average, but let me tell you! Bangkok Soul was absolutely delicious and far exceeded my expectations! We ordered the half and half chicken, the larb salad and the fried bomb appetizer plate and each dish was a 10/10 and made fresh. The Thai tea was okay, but I think it had too much milk and not enough flavor. Other than that, I can't wait to return and eat here again. read more

We wanted to get some Thai food and saw that this place has good reviews. We ordered the Pad Thai ($16) and Pad See You ($16). They definitely give you a lot of food. We had enough left over to make a second meal for both of us the next day. I really liked both plates. I usually go for pad see ew when I go to Thai places but the pad thai here is also really good! I was looking around and a lot of people also got the chicken satay and papaya salad, so maybe I'll try those out next time too. I would say that the appetizers seem a bit pricey considering they're about the same price as the main dishes, which kind of defeats the purpose of being an appetizer. A lot of items looked good on the menu though and I wish I could try them all. I do see that they also have a lunch menu on the weekdays, so hopefully if I make it in time I'll be able to try some more items from their menu through that. read more

This place is delicious! The kitchen definitely knows what they are doing! The flavor of all the dishes is fantastic and actually has a lot of authentic seasoning and depth. Rib eye and the sauce was tangy, savory, and sour. The pad Thai was perfect for my girl - very sweet. The half leg house special was the star of the show. Great mix of fatty pork and lean meat, along with really amazing bitter greens and natural juices. The sauce that came with it was incredible. Papaya salad was sweet and had a generous amount of peanuts. The pork jerky wasn't tough or chewy at all. It melted in your mouth. The crab rangoon were decent and the salt and pepper shrimp were REALLY good. Loved the sauce on the outside so much that I may have accidentally eaten a few shells! Service was friendly. We had a big party but they were accommodating and polite. Ambiance was very informal but I didn't mind that. Casual and simple seating. read more

I Just found my new go to Thai spot and I'm kind of obsessed. It's a pretty big space right across from Kopan, but still feels warm and welcoming. We ordered a bunch to share such as the chicken curry, drunken noodles with beef, pad Thai with shrimp, and the crispy garlic wings (so good). And the strawberry lychee soda? Super refreshing and honestly a must. The vibe is cute and modern, service was attentive, and everything is reasonably priced. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to. If you are in the area, you should check out too. read more

I like how tbe lunch special comes with a drink and a side. The soul boat noodle was on the sweeter side and the meat kinda tasted like beef jerky. Couldve been boiling for too long. But its okay. I liked the meat or fish balls that it came with though. It was soft and went well with the sweet broth. For to go orders, there is a divider so that the noodles wont get soggy from the soup, which is always nice for noodle soups. Their thai tea was 80% milk so i felt like i was drinking iced milk. I got the curry croquette and its pretty good. Small but it might be because it was part of the lunch special. They also almost forgot my drink until i opened the bag and it was missing. Had to ask them for it. Maybe thats why the thai tea tasted mostly of milk. They probably rushed it. I would come back to trh other items though. read more

I've been seeing this place all over my IG and Tik tok so I wanted to check it out! The restaurant is smaller than I expected but the decor was so nice and welcoming. The service was also pretty standard. We ordered: Pad Thai 6.5/10: on the sweeter side and was full of sauce. The noodles were bouncy how I like it but overall a bit too much of the marination for me. Pad see ew 8/10: this dish was also packed w flavor. I got the dish with beef and it wasn't chewy but my dad got 2 pieces that he had to spit out bc it was too chewy. Super savory dish also packed with flavor. It had that amazing wok smell too. Pineapple fried rice 7/10: pretty standard and can't go wrong. Curry flavored notes and not too oily. Tom kha soup pot 7/10: very coconutty and good flavor but a bit too salty. Fire catfish 8/10: I liked the way it was fried. Great crisp. There wasn't too much bone. Chinese broccoli with crispy pork 9/10: pork was flavorful a bit salty but the rice balanced it out. The pork was crispy on the outside and the meaty part was soft. Overall I think a lot of the food was packed with flavor but maybe a bit too salty for some people. read more

First bite at the Crab Fried Rice was pretty amazing! Though, missing a squeeze of lime, this place gives you seafood sauce instead. The sauce itself is very tasty and it made a big difference to the fried rice overall. Pad Thai was way too sour and way too wet. I also much prefer when chives are used for pad thai like an authentic Thai dish, rather than green onions. Their pad thai came with green onions. Other than that, they have great deals for lunch specials and the service was lovely. I'm glad that there is another nice Thai food popping ip here in Alhambra. Looking forward to try other dishes! read more

There's a public plaza lot to get here. They have plenty of seating but it can get packed that you'll have to wait outside. While it gets packed, the volume level is decent. The inside is a fun casual vibe. The staff are nice and helpful. I got the chicken pad Thai. It pretty good. Not too saucey. It was hot and steamy. The Thai green tea latte was okay. It was too sweet and simple. But it's not a dedicated tea place so it's not the worst. I'd like to return because they had loads on their menu I want to try! read more

Solid! Came here after bookmarking on Yelp! I had read good things on a San Gabriel Eats page recommending Bangkok Soul. We walked in and the place was packed at 1:30 on a Sunday afternoon. Fortunately we were able to be seated immediately and even though our server said they were short staffed and there may be a wait, our order and food arrived very quickly. We can for the Pad See Eww, but we're intrigued by a donut and gravy dish. Turns out it's a savory shrimp donut that we will definitely come back to try. The green curry we ordered medium spicy and it has a nice robust flavor with large pieces of tender eggplant. We brought some home to use as a base for dinner tonight. Easy free parking. When we left there was still a line for tables. read more

I absolutely loved their shrimp pad see ew and crispy chicken rice! The pad see ew was deliciously savory and mildly sweet, and the tender shrimp & crunchy greens were tasty. The rice and chicken were perfectly crispy. The chicken was also so juicy & flavorful, and the sweet sauce that came with the order was the perfect addition. Unpictured, but our order came with a side of soup, which was pretty yummy too! This was my first time trying Bangkok Soul, and I will definitely be back to dine in :) read more

Found this new gem tucked away in the same plaza as the Smart & Final on Valley. Bangkok Soul has a cool, modern vibe with neon signs and TVs, definitely a nice spot for a casual dinner. We stopped by on a weekday and it wasn't too crowded, so the service was super attentive and the food came out fast. Here's the breakdown of what we grabbed: * Chicken Satay: The absolute highlight. The meat was actually tender (not dry like some places) and the peanut sauce was packed with flavor. Very authentic. * Tom Yum: Solid, classic flavors with just the right amount of kick. * Pad See Ew: Really well-executed and satisfying. I would say everything tasted fresh and authentic. If you're in Alhambra and looking for a quick, quality Thai meal without a massive wait, this place is definitely worth a visit! read more

Service was friendly and food came out fast. Seating for 2 was very easy on a sunday lunch. However the 2 entrees came first, and crab rangoon appetizer came out pretty late into the meal which we laughed off. Interior was clean. The pork leg signature was beautifully braised and tender, and sauce was perfect with the rice. Veggies are not marinated or pickled. Crab Rangoon was crispy and fresh tasting The pad thai was not stand out. The sauce was distributed unevenly so one bite was salty, next was not. So be sure to mix it up well yourself. This is one of the more saucy and salty/sour pad thais i've had, not sure if its normal but im sure it suits someones tastes, but not so much mine. The noodles used have a deeper chew and bounce than what I'm used to. read more

Overall a good experience. Service was friendly and quick. Food was good. I wouldn't say it's the best Thai food I've ever had but it was good. What we ordered: - crab fried rice: good, could use more crab though - boss leg: very tender but oily - fire catfish: loved the flavor! One of the better dishes but the fish had a lot of bones in it and wasn't as meaty as I'd hoped -pad thai: good, could be a little saucier -eggplant: good, lacked in flavor a little bit -Longyan herbal tea :this was delicious, not too sweet -Thai ice tea: too sweet and light in color read more

This was unfortunately the worst Thai restaurant I been to because not only was the food awful but so was the service! This is a small Thai spot located in a busy plaza so parking can be difficult especially on the weekends. They're open daily 11am-3pm & 4pm-9pm (Except Sat - 11am-3pm & 5pm-9pm) There is lunch special on weekdays 11am-3pm and it comes with a dish, side, soup, and drink for $15.95! I went on New Year's Eve and that was considered a "holiday" so unfortunately, there was no lunch special. Menu had a good variety of dishes and most of the dishes were less than $20. Inside was small with not too much seating. Service was not welcoming, attentive, or friendly. It wasn't even busy when I arrived and I was not greeted by the staff so I just took a seat on a table of my choice. Waited a few minutes before finally being acknowledged and given a menu. I had a hard time deciding what to order and I didn't appreciate being asked every 5 minutes by the staff if I was ready yet. I think she must have asked me at least 3+ times and it wasn't even busy yet. The Pad Thai ($16) tasted so terrible and definitely didn't taste authentic. It didn't have any pan fried taste and the sauce was so sour/tangy that it tasted like lemon noodles. It honestly tasted like frozen/microwaved food and it was unfortunately one of the worst Pad Thai I've ever had so this was 3/10. The Yellow Curry ($15) didn't come with rice or protein so I had to add +$1 for chicken and +$2.75 for jasmine rice. This was the worst curry I have ever had. It was so watery that it seemed more like a watered down soup than curry. It was so bland and hardly had any ingredients - potatoes, carrots, onions, and chicken. The chicken seemed overcooked and flavorless. This dish was 3/10 When it came to paying for the bill, I waited at least 10+ minutes and was never paid attention to. The server walked past my table several times and every time I tried to make eye contact with her, she would ignore me. I got so frustrated that I went up to the cashier and just gave her the money. She got agitated with me and told me to wait. I understand it was busy and they were understaffed but honestly, the service was poor even before they got busy. Overall, I was extremely disappointed with the food and the service so I will certainly not return or recommend. read more

This is one of the few spots in the SGV that has khao soi. When they first opened I was dying it try it since they had this dish. They took over the old Ten Rens location and has ample parking. The servers were attentive each of my visits and would check up on us frequently. The khảo sôi was flavorful and noodles had a nice chew to it. I usually get it with crispy chicken added and the crispy chicken soaks up the sauce. I feel like their noodle soup dish's excel here over their pan fried dishes but you can't go wrong ordering anything here. Great for lunch, dinner or even togo. Just don't leave the noodles in the container for too long otherwise the heat will cook it longer. read more

They recently opened this spot and I've been wanting to try. Surprisingly they have lunch specials Mon-Fri from 11am-3pm. Who doesn't love a lunch special? It's one of those GOOD lunch specials too. You get a choice of soup, appetizer, entree and drink in to go cups. I got the Thai iced tea and it wasn't too sugary. Got thainanese chicken rice and absolutely loved it. The braised pork leg was flavorful and tender, tastes like it's been marinated for a while. It was all dark meat and I didn't even have to ask! For app, the curry croquette was okay and the pot stickers pretty basic as well. Plenty parking right outside the restaurant shared with other establishments so it can get busy. read more

We were so excited to try out Alhambra's newest Thai place. The space was formerly Ten Ren (then Green Shaker), and they kept some decor elements for the new place. A few things worth noting: - The boss-leg dish was tender, the meat practically melts off the bone, and the spices hit just right. - The Pad See Ew had chewier noodles with that signature wok-char smoky flavor. - Portion sizes are generous. One order felt hearty enough to split, but I was so into it I finished the whole thing! Bangkok Soul is a good alternative to its counterpart down the street. They can accommodate more people and parking isn't an issue. read more
