I take all of my cars to G1 Auto Repair, across the street from Bobby Thai. This is the first time we hung around because it was a quick inspection. We just might start waiting for our cars so we can grab a bite here! Unassuming little spot in a busy shopping center filled with health & beauty shops and a market. The portions are huge and the food is absolutely fresh & delicious! The galbi was so good my daughter ate w her hands. She doesn't mess w her nails for just anything! And my soup was perfectly balanced w citrus and spicy heat. Just a warning to check for peanuts in case you have an allergy. I don't, but my daughter does. They were kind in their response. Staff is super friendly too! We'll definitely be back. I can't wait to try out more items in the menu! read more

I don't frequent El Monte a lot so it's not a surprise I didn't know this spot existed. I'm glad I do now! Solid Thai food with great service. (Almost) everything is served in to-go containers which makes taking leftovers home very convenient. We ended up taking the curry home and the employee helped pack it up. Fried wontons with cream cheese: 3/5 Not my favorite, but my cousin who really likes these types of dishes really enjoyed it! Drunken noodle: 4.5/5 Pretty good! Aptly sweet and a little spicy (we ordered mild). Wish there was a bit more meat but not a big deal. Papaya salad: 5/5 Yum! Crunchy and vibrant. Definitely squeeze the lime on there! It was pungent in the best way. Pad see ew: 3.5/5 This was alright. They use broccoli instead of gai lan, and it was too sweet for me. Mango sticky rice: 5/5 Solid! No stringy mango and it was sweet. The rice was warm, sweet from the coconut cream. read more

BWAH Dangit Bobby!!! You've got yourself a returning customer! Thai food is one of those cuisines that's always good anytime, anyplace... inherently it just hits all complex gastronomy notes, with textures, flavors; salty, sweet, acidic... this place is humble good portion size for good price & decent Thai flavors. Is this the best Thai I've ever had? No... does it satiate my craving for Thai food... Yes. If you're in the area and want your Thai fix look no further. read more

Came here with my coworkers and left wondering why we hadn't discovered this place sooner! Don't let the cozy size fool you, this little restaurant is serving bigger portions. The Pad Thai is hands down the best in the area. Come hungry... and maybe skip breakfast. Your future self (and your leftovers) will thank you. We'll definitely be back! read more

Went here today and got the drunken noodles the pad see ew and papaya salad. Everything taste great. The salad was super fresh and flavorful. The noodles were such large portions for the price. Service is outstanding super attentive. I highly recommend. read more

July 16, 2025 | El Monte | Bobby Thai was a delicious surprise! A group of friends, and I had a shareable lunch together & what a yummy feast it was! Variety of soups, Pad Thai, and Curry, oh my! Hahaha! We loved it! Pad Thai | My Main Dish: Delicious with a bit of sweetness, & the perfect amount of crispiness to my flavorful tofu, which I enjoyed! I would easily order this dish again! Portions are huge here as well! Thai Iced Tea: Yummy! One of the best Thai Iced teas I've ever had! Warm Welcome: Incredibly friendly customer service! We were checked on constantly throughout our meal and easily with a smile! Parking: Free! Parking space is right up front! Overall: Yes, I would easily visit again! In fact, I'm looking forward to trying more dishes on the menu, including the Taro Milk Tea & shrimp fried rice! Thanks again, our meal was delicious in a very relaxed atmosphere! read more

He said his name is Bond. Just like James Bond. Five stars for friendly warm welcoming service. Bond even recognized my companion who had dined here a week or so ago. Its a casual low-key place,...spacious dining room. Serving up solid Thai food thanks to Bonds' mom and dad in the kitchen. The Bobby of Bobby Thai has retired, so abundant is his nephew. There's a larger location in the Santa Clarita Valley under another name, but Bond us determined to bring this location to its former glory. I ordered chicken satay, which comes as three large flattened skewers, and a container of peanut sauce which is nice, a little runny, no chunks of peanut, but it's tasty without being thick or too peanutty. It also came with a red sauce but looked spicy, so pass. Didn't cone with a vinegar cucumber condiment like at other places but no matter, we dove in and enjoyed it. It's not a dainry satay, but very hearty, so the light peanut sauce works. 5/5 I also ordered to share the pineapple fried rice, hold the shrimp. There's no egg in this dish which is better for me. I'm allergic to egg and to shrimp. I should have asked for the shrimp on the side so my companion could eat it. Next time. The pineapple was juicy....there were raisins cashews and chicken along with some beef too...there's a curry flavor which surprised me....in fact this dish was awesome as a leftover two days later 5/5 it's nice freshly made but overnite that curry rice was darn tasty. 5/5 I took a star off bec if the plastic utensils, the Styrofoam takeout....your food comes to the table already in takeout containers....we decided to dine in so plates, forks knives....to make it less of a take out and mire of a destination restaurant, but they are short handed and probably compensate by making your meal to go at the get go. No need a dishwasher!! Plenty of free parking in Titos Plaza. No problem with credit cards. read more

Thai Iced Tea was good and cheap Mango sticky rice, the mangos were good, rice was OK. The Yellow Curry was bad The chicken and pork were both bad. The spicy fried rice was a littl too spicy for me. Worker was nice and friendly, maybe family owned. It's a very fast food restaurant feel to the inside. Not nice or comfortable seating. Probably a good togo place. I'm not sure I'll come back but if I do maybe I'll try the Kalbi or Tofu? read more

Located in Tito's Plaza with lots of free parking. Called in my order and was ready in 15 minutes. They accept credit cards. Ordered fried tofu and rad na chicken. The fried tofu was perfectly fried and I loved the sauce that came with it. Wasn't the typical sweet chili sauce from the bottle. The rad na was filing and delicious. I only wish they gave the noodles in a larger to go tray instead of packed into the to go Chinese takeout square container. The chicken and sauce were separate in a to go soup container. I had to mix on my own plate and the noodles were all stuck together in a large cube shape. There are tables instead. Front counter staff were friendly. read more

Bobby Thai - Khao Soy (curry noodles) - Thai Near Me - El Monte, California

I went to Bobby Thai in El Monte and asked what they reccomended. He learned that I once lived in Chiang Mai and suggested Khao Soy (N8 Curry Noodles), a dish that originated in Northern Thailand. I ordered that without a second thought. Finding Khao Soy is very difficult. It is a noodle dish served in a very mild yellow curry. If you have never had it, you must try it. It was absolutely delicious and authentic since the owner and staff are from Northern Thailand . The service is awesome. The staff was very attentive to all the customers in the restaurant. It is a small quaint locally owned place with sufficient space for everyone. I highly recommend this place. I will be back. read more

Bobby Thai - Khao Soy You must try this. - Thai Near Me - El Monte, California

Guys. This has to be hands down the best Thai food I have ever tried. Normally I thought Ochas would beat my standards, but this Thai place skyrocketed them. Next time I am going to try the Tom Kah and update this, but I just know i am not going to be disappointed. I am a very picky eater when it comes to Thai food, but like I said it was just overall so amazing and I am so in love with this restaurant. Shoutout to my girl Nanny! Such a sweet soul. -J The food is very very good, while the dinnerware is paper plates and the dishes come in to go boxes, the food is definitely worth it. The spicy drunken noodles were the highlight of the meal and def the fish to get. Also meeting the owners was very cool and it is rewarding as consumers to support local family owned businesses. -K Overall. We love this place! This is our new favorite? PORTIONS WERE ELITE! We both got full and didn't even finish the plates! So that's exciting! read more

Wanted Thai food and spotted this place on Yelp with very high ratings so headed over to try it out. Located inside Tito's Plaza. Food is served in plastic to go containers, styrofoam plates and plastic utensils. Felt very odd eating with all that plastic inside a restaurant, especially with hot soup in a togo container. Requested for actual plates and bowls and he brought over melamine/plastic bowls and plates, which felt a bit better than styrofoam and clear plastic containers. Iced coffee is very sweet and the taste of coffee is barely there, just a sugary brown drink. 6 metal tables inside, no outdoor dining. Pad Thai is overly sweet and sauced up. Was hard to eat. Never had a failed pad Thai so was extremely surprised. Free extra rice offered. Seafood hot pot was ok . The person running the show was a kind super sweet gentleman. Very friendly service. He offered complimentary rice refill and water. Such a bummer that the food was too sweet and the style is more like street food presentation. read more

What a find! You get so much food for what you pay. We couldn't finish what we ordered in one sitting. We loved the flavor and it came with a fair amount of meat. Spicy Noodles: This is essentially Pad Kee Mao and this was our favorite of the two orders. We got medium spicy, which was a spicy that builds but doesn't hurt. It had a good amount of basil and soy sauce flavor. Pad Thai: This was very good, but a little sweeter and saucy-er than what I'm normally used to. The lime slice helped to add a bit of zing to the dish. We opted to dine in. Our entrees were served in take-out boxes. We were also provided styrofoam plates and forks. read more

First time at this location and I decided to order for pickup. The process was smooth, and my food was ready pretty quickly, which I appreciated. The flavors here are a bit different compared to other Thai places I've tried--unique in a good way. The dish I ordered was tasty, though I did find it a tad on the salty side. Still, it was enjoyable, and I'm curious to try some of their other dishes next time I'm in the area. read more

Service was spectacular but the pad Thai was mediocre. It was very saucy and sweet. However, the teriyaki chicken was good. Chicken was perfectly grilled but that was pretty much it. The broccoli was steamed with no seasoning and the macaroni was very sweet for my liking. They have everything packaged in Togo containers even if you are dining in. They have about 5 tables for seating and the decor was interesting. State licenses from all over the US. read more

Bobby Thai - My daughter absolutely loves this place so we took a picture of us making a heart for our review - Thai Near Me - El Monte, California

I was so happy because I finally found a tasty/authentic Thai restaurant in SGV! I've tried plenty of Thai food in SGV, all of the flavors were either Americanized or very Chinesey. We tried the combo fried rice, pad see ew, papaya salad, and basil pork with white rice. The taste were right on. Not too sweet at all! If you want to eat authentic Thai food with very reasonable prices, you need to try this place. I would definitely come back for different dishes. Other than the food, the guy at the front desk was really friendly. I needed to carry my baby with one of my arm and he offered to take my food to the car. read more

Among lots of restaurants on Garvey in El Monte, there is a little Thai gem among them. I've been wanting to try Bobby Thai for a while now and I'm glad I got to try their food today. Lab Kai, Pad Thai, papaya salad, chicken green curry, and combination fried rice. Everything tasted pretty good, although I wish the pad Thai and green curry was a little less sweet. My favorites were the papaya salad and their lab Kai. The portions and meat quantity were great for the price. So if you're looking for a tasty Thai place with great service, give Bobby Thai a try! read more

My boyfriend and I went here looking for a quick spot to eat while our car was being serviced near by. We love Thai food so this spot caught our eye due to the reviews and inside aesthetics. We loved it! The employees were very nice and attentive, the food was also really great. We usually start off pretty basic and get the Pad Thai and Pad See-Ew + cream cheese wontons. All were delicious. The chili oils are also very tasty. The inside was clean, and comfortable. It's small- only about 6 tables but it's generally a nice space. We'll definitely be coming back and ordering more of a variety of dishes. read more

Rating: 8.5/10 Great little Thai restaurant with amazing service and generous portions at an affordable price! Saw the great rating on Yelp and wanted to check Bobby Thai out. Parking is in a plaza, so we were able to park easily. My boyfriend and I came at around 4PM on a Thursday. We were told to take a seat at the little dining area since we were planning to dine-in. The restaurant itself is very cozy and looks like a mom and pop business. They've got a TV and some music playing in the background. There were about three parties including us dining in. The lady at the counter gave us some menus and waters before giving us some time to order. We ordered three dishes, which all came pretty quickly. Here's what we ordered: 1) Chicken Wings: 8/10. The dish came with 4 average-sized chicken wings that were breaded and fried. The taste was perfectly seasoned, not too salty or oily-tasting. It came with a sweet chili sauce that complemented the wings well. 2) Shrimp Fried Rice: 8.5/10. Yummy!!! I'm not sure what they seasoned the fried rice with but the first few bites were absolutely heavenly. The portion was very big and was good enough for 1 very hungry person or 2 hungry people. 3) Pad Thai: 8/10. Great chewy noodles that were perfectly seasoned and tasty. The dish included shrimp and chicken. It was definitely a good standard choice! Overall, I recommend you check this place out if you're in the area! read more
