Wow, I haven't been back to Daisy Mint since college and I forgot how good this place was. My friends and I decided to grab lunch on Saturday right when it opened so we seated immediately. We ordered the pad thai, pad see ew and papaya salad. The pad thai and pad see ew were ordered from the lunch special menu. I was surprised to see a lunch special on a weekend. The portion of the pad thai and pad see ew were pretty generous. Everything that we order tasted really flavorful and was tasty. My favorite was the pad thai because it has a sweetness to it but it might be too sweet for others. Service is quick and friendly. The décor of the restaurant is very cute and antique looking. There's a parking lot in the back of the restaurant and also street parking as well. read more

I ordered takeout from Daisy Mint tonight. I have never ordered the yellow chicken curry from here. It is FULL of giant potatoes and giant carrots!! Barely any chicken UGH There was no way in the world I would've paid this price $$ for potatoes and carrots vs chicken it is a complete rip off. This dish is in a soup container so you don't realize it until you get home. I was beyond upset. Don't go here. If you look at the pictures posted on their website next to this dish you only chicken and curry. Look at the photos of what I actually paid for. read more

This is a very good Thai restaurant in East Pasadena. I came back in 2016 and was rushed through my meal because they close so early. I never came back because it seemed a little rude at the time. I came again and found the food is actually delightful. Service was much friendlier than I remembered. However, the fact is they close early, and if you want to relax and enjoy your meal unrushed, do not come in the last hour of service. Last call is 3 minutes prior to their closing, and they clearly want to get out of there. I understand, but just don't come in the last hour and expect to leisurely enjoy your meal. It's a very tiny restaurant but with a nice, hip decor. Parking can be a little tricky, but we managed to find something. The food itself is high quality and quite good all around. We had the chicken pad see ew, which was terrific. The crying tiger was also excellent, with delicious flavor and good quality beef. The Thai BBQ chicken is a standout. Many places make it with goopy wet sauce on top. This place makes it exactly how we like it. More of a marinade that is then grilled to a dry, crispy exterior. It's really great. The cashew nut chicken was also excellent. Usually, at other places, this isn't spicy, but they do it spicy here, and I like it a lot. The only misfire of the night was the spicy fried rice. Not only was it not spicy at all, but it was outright bland. Not good. Basically, come for an early dinner, but definitely come and try out this place. It's some good eating. Check it out! read more

Best Thai food in Pasadena, love Daisy delicious dishes, they're super friendly, great service, you won't be disappointed, cute place to bring a date read more

I've only ordered takeout but I have to say Daisy Mint might be the best Thai I've had on the east side. My favorite is the yellow curry, and I've had a lot of different ones all over this side of town, and this is the best one I've had hands down. Flavorful, rich, and the amount you get nets you at least (for me) 2-3 days worth. The prices are also really fair, especially right now when everything feels so staggeringly high. I can't wait to try other things on the menu. Big recommend! read more

Great Thai place with most of your traditional Thai favorites dishes like Tom Yum, Pad Thai, curries, etc but so much more with their duck noodles, salmons and different appetizers like prata with curry. Lunch specials too. Super friendly service and good prices. Parking in back and on the street. Nice cozy atmosphere. read more

My favorite dish is their Daisy Mint Salmon. All of their dishes - traditional or fusion- are uniformly high quality - fresh and delicious.

Deeeeeeelicious I tell you! Came and ordered the Pad See Ew with chicken and beef and a Thai iced tea! FLAVORRR! The service was immaculate efficient and fast. 10/10 read more

A friend and I went to Daisy Mint before taking a class in Altadena. This place has cute decor and a great menu. We had fun looking at the eclectic art ok the walls and found plenty of vegetarian menu options. The service was A+. Will visit again when I'm in the neighborhood! read more

Got some for take out! You can call in, use DoorDash or their internal square site for pickup. There are lunch specials 11:30a-2:45a but their site won't accept lunch specials before 12p. Fortunately the staff was able to accommodate over the phone. The entrees are a good size. We got birds nest, daisy noodle, and Penang pumpkin curry with rice/salad. All are tasty and generous with proteins for the price. We parked on the street just read the signs. read more

Great food, lovely atmosphere, and incredibly kind staff. 10/10, check it out! Especially the Pad See You

Drunken noodles are perfect. There's time where the noodles are either clumpy, thick, or too saucy.. these noodles are just right. The food has a char broiled taste that take these noodles to the next level. I think I am in love. read more

Daisy Mint is a local favorite and Pasadena mainstay. I've dined in a few times, and service is solid. The chicken pad thai is a classic for me, and it's flavorful and a good portion. Last visit, I tried the drunken noodle, which had a great sauce. I ordered beef and unfortunately they served pork. They have plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. read more

We arrived right at opening, and my first impression was the space is much smaller than it appears online. That said, we were the first guests and seated immediately. The restaurant filled up quick! The food was absolutely delicious. Don't overlook their lunch specials; they offer great value and variety. The reason for the 4-star rating is the service. We only saw our server twice: once to take our order and again to collect the check. Our water was never refilled, and I had to get up to request takeout boxes. It was actually a different staff member who brought the boxes and dropped off the check. While the service could use improvement, the incredible food made up for it. read more

Below Average Thai Food I visited Daisy Mint with 3 friends and was unfortunately disappointed with the food. While the wait staff was very friendly and attentive, the food itself was just average at best. Here's what we ate. * Chicken Satay: The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the peanut sauce lacked flavor. The portion size was quite large * Cream Cheese Wontons: Pretty standard fair * Thai Ice Tea: Average * Thai Beef and Sticky Rice: The Thai beef and sticky rice was the best of the entrees. If I only ordered this they would have got a better review from me * Chicken Pad See Ew: The noodles were OK. The sauce was bland * Pineapple Fried Rice: This dish was OK. Average * Yellow Curry: The curry was average at best. A wee bit spicy I wouldn't recommend Daisy Mint. The food is just average and flavorless. You can definitely find better Thai food in Pasadena for less money at Kwan's Kitchen. read more

We used to frequent daisy mint often but since becoming fully plant based it hasn't really been on our list. We went back this year (when we were kid free) and got peanut dumplings which are still amazing. I was so happy to find they have plant based milk to do a Thai iced tea. Would love if they had more plant based / vegan options. Overall the place is so adorable with such beautiful decor! read more

Cute Thai restaurant! Food is yummy, portion size is generous, service was friendly. Can't wait to come back. Ordered the spicy eggplant (so good!) , pad thai (generous size) , and hot Jasmine tea in a pot (refreshing). Whenever I come here I leave happy. I also make a stop at the cute bookshop (Book Alley), and Blue Rooster Art Supplies to grab some pens or other supplies- they have a cute cat named Lizard (it's close to the bookstore). So all in all great local for a nice afternoon out. Parking was not bad- found street parking. read more

The food is amazing here. I've never actually eaten in, so can't talk about the service or the ambience. But I would highly recommend the food here! Everything we tried was amazing. The flavors were fresh and authentic. read more

Yummm. One word to describe this place. It's small and intimate inside and the service is nice. The waitress sat us immediately and she checked in on us a few times. They forgot our protein in one of the dishes and the chef provided a nice bowl of chicken on the side. Drunken noodles are typically spicy, but this one lacked spice. I think it has great flavor though, so I still recommend it. Although just make sure to add the whole chili powder container on the side! I loooooveeee papaya salad and this one had extra lime. I think I'm just so used to spice that I asked for Thai chilies on the side to add to the papaya salad. It leveled up the dish for me, give it a shot! I appreciate that they cut up the lettuce on the side instead of leaving it whole like other places. I liked the daisy noodles, but I wouldn't order it again. I think the flavor was good, but not something I'd crave again. It's an interesting dish though! Next time I def want to try their yellow curry and mango sticky rice (unfortunately it's not mango season)! It was about $50 for three items and we had some leftovers, so I think it was worth it. I'll be back again when I have Thai cravings! read more

Personally, I order from Daisy Mint (DM) about twice a month (sometimes more). Their food is amazing! :) This will be my third review, but this time for a catering request for an important meeting at my job. Daisy Mint did not disappoint. I submitted the catering request about a week out and DM was excellent in getting back to me to confirm my order and make sure that I had all of my selections and needs met. I was super appreciative of the communication on their part; especially the friendliness and assurances that they provided. Our order was delivered right on time. The food was hot, packaged well, and included all the fixings (condiments, utensils, etc.). Also, the gentleman who delivered was super nice and helpful in getting things set up. Lastly, as always, the food was AMAZING, and our meeting attendees were impressed. :) Thank you Daisy Mint and Team for being so awesome. read more

This place seems like a hidden gem, the interior is very cute and well decorated, it definitely gives me cozy vibes. This service is really good too, they're always attentive to you. I always come back here for the same thing which is the steak salad. The steak has an amazing flavor and the dressing on the salad is delicious, it's a little spicy and tangy with the lime, and of course can't have good thai food without good white rice! Almost forgot, if you love green tea, order some milky green tea! read more

Great Authentic Cooking with the Grandmas and Aunties in the Kitchen! We've had the dine in experience and the to go options.

Let's start with parking. 3 designated spot in the parking lot at the back of the building and 1hr/2hr street parking around the streets. Smaller restaurant with good customer service. Portions for all items were surprisingly generous. Papaya salad: had basic flavor but wasn't dialed up to the level it should be. It felt like 4 steps short of legit flavors. Very vanilla. Pad Thai: was actually decent, with some complexity. Crying tiger: had it was the sticky rice, which was a good choice. The sauce was the star, and the beef was not chewy or overcooked. (Not spicy, but wish it was) Satay: not the typical small portions of dry breast on skewers. There were no skewers at all. Really good sized breast pieces with classic peanut sauce. However the cucumber garnish/salad was not it. It's supposed to be tart and refreshing but was heavy and sweet. Pineapple fried rice: nice and fragrant, but needed a bit more salt and moisture (rice was clumpy - total no no for any fried rice). read more

I've come to Daisy Mint many times and this review is long overdue. They're pretty authentic thai food and they're allergen friendly. Please do ask them for any gluten free as some dishes that are not marked "gluten free", might be able to be modified. Pad thai is always a good idea and theirs is definitely one to try. Their tom kha (coconut soup) is very delicious, savory and will fulfill your cravings in a cold weather. Salmon curry - very good. It comes with your choice of white or brown rice. Very savory and fulfill your omega with this :) They used to have "Daisy Chicken Wings" which no longer in the menu. It was gluten free and sweet and spicy. Wish they bring that to the menu again. They have parking in the back and street parking. They just recently renovated their back patio. It looks very nice. read more

One of my favorite go to for Thai food in Pasadena. They are consistently good. The quality, the aromatics spices, the flavor -- it's addicting. The best part is that their ingredients are fresh! My favorite dish of all time is the Panang Curry. It's a great vegetarian dish. There's large chunks of fresh veggies and pumpkin. Drizzle the sauce over rice and it's the perfect comfort food. I've also enjoyed their Pad See Ew, Duck Noodle Soup, and Beef Salad. If you're looking for a healthy but tasty salad, definitely recommend their beef salad. I love the decor of this quaint little restaurant. It's cute, perfect for a date. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Parking can be tricky, street parking is your best bet unless you're lucky enough to find a spot in the back. Bon appetit yelpers! read more

Busy little place on Colorado Avenue. Pasadena is not short on Thai places. This is one of the many and pretty good. It's incredibly popular for take away. So, consider doing such. Though the service is good inside and you can easily snag a table in the window. I had the pad Thai and was happy for $14. While not the best I've ever had, it was good and the price was adequate. My dining partner had the BBQ chicken and was happy with it. Our order came out very quickly. I'd like to go back and really try some other dishes. I suspect there are some that are the reason you go given how busy it was for take away. See website and their social media for hours, location, and more. Parking on street. Open for lunch with specials and dinner. read more

I first had lunch at Daisy Mint way back when it opened many years ago and it quickly became a favorite. A local gem that does Thai in a unique, creative yet homey fashion. Everything was always top tier, delicious, and decently priced. I stopped by recently wondering how such a nondescript, hidden in plain view could stay in business so long. One taste was all it took to remind me. The food is better than ever! It's great to see when a place has been around this long and maintained such great quality throughout and even growing. And the ambiance is just so inviting and relaxing. It makes you just want to sit, sip some tea and watch the street view while the servers bring you your meal in a friendly, familiar atmosphere. Their pumpkin curry has always been a standout and really it is my favorite dish. I can't find anything like it anywhere. 10/10 read more

The place looked fine but our first waitress was not very nice. We ordered several different dishes the pad Thai was awful it was so very sticky. We got a new waitress and she was better but the food made both of us sick. We will never go back. read more

I was reluctant to go because of the price compared to some other Thai spots. On a whim though the Mrs and I decided to go and were surprised to see lunch specials on a weekend! We have been twice so far and liked almost everything weve ordered. From the lunch menu we have gone twice. We have had the honey pork plate, papaya salad, pad Thai, pad see ew, roti w/ curry and the fresh spring rolls. We enjoyed evverything except the rolls, which we found had too much mint. We will be coming back read more

This place is good, solid Asian fusion. It has elements of Thai, Vietnamese and even some Chinese influences, it seems. The curries are solid. I island get green or panang curry with eggplant or similar is my preference. The shaking beef salad is also very good and I do not eat much beef, to be honest. They often have pumpkin (or kabocha squash, if you will) curry, which is really tasty. Service is usually fine, not usually super friendly but typically efficient. The place itself is really cute and looks like a little tea house with fun furniture and delicate tea cups for the good quality loose leaf teas they have. I would recommend this place. It's moderately priced. read more

My boyfriend and I love Daisy Mint! It's our go-to neighborhood spot. the Panang Curry is always delicious (they put pumpkin in theirs!) and whenever we call ahead to place an order, it always ready in time. The interiors are so cute and well kept up, and the prices are reasonable, for such good quality. The service is so friendly, they always smile and thank us when we come in. read more
