Had a great meal here. Inside is modern and simple. There's a decent amount of seating but it's best for couples or small groups. The food is great. A somewhat elevated take on Thai food. Everything was delicious. Only complaint is portions could be bigger. My favs of what we ordered were the Drunken Mama Noodles Grilled Beef and Gang Dang Red Curry Braised Duck. The Khao Pad Blue Crab rice was good too with nice chunks of crab, it just needed some chili sauce for my taste. We came on a packed Friday night so there was a long wait. Maybe come during lunch or on a weeknight to avoid the long wait. Service was great. Very friendly staff. There's a pay parking structure nearby or you can try to find street parking within a block or two.

Stumbled upon Dalah and was intrigued by its modern but authentic take on classic Thái dishes! They have been open less than 2 months and already a line is forming!!! People are telling their friends and through word of mouth, Dalah is already getting the recognition they deserve!! We came to celebrate a birthday and it was perfect. The ambiance was intimate and cozy with warm inviting colors and confortable seating with booth options and pillows. The food was delicious!! They have a simple menu, but all the dishes are heavy hitters in their own right. The proteins offered with the dishes are really well prepared and cooked! The beef and chicken were so tender! I highly recommend ordering a bunch of dishes and doing family style to share! There are just too many you must try! The service was great! Ploy was so lovely and we got to meet one of the owners as well! She was so sweet and told us that her and her husband opened up this restaurant to pay homage to their roots. They asked for feedback but we had no notes, all was done so well. The pad tai had great flavor and I loved the details of the fried pork skin for texture. The pad see ew had that nice char from the wok and were thick and chewy. Fried rice had great texture with large chunks of blue crab. The chicken and beef proteins were so tender and seasoned well. Highly recommend the Nam Tok! The papaya salad was refreshing and had grilled corn which is different. The green curry also had great flavor and I loved how the fried whole fish was already deboned. The mango sticky rice was perfect and came with a coconut ice cream that was the sauce for it! We all had different favorites at the table and still I need to come back out of curiosity to try the rest of the menu! Their chicken wings, grilled shrimp, pork balls and duck curry look amazing as well! What we ordered: Thai Tea Blue crab fried rice Papaya Salad with Grilled Corn Nam Tok Beef Pad See Ew with Beef Pad Thai with Chicken Green Curry with Beef Cheeks Fried Trout that was already deboned Mango Sticky Rice Huge thanks for the hospitality! We'll be back!

I saw the mango sticky rice and was super excited to try this place. However, they had already run out of mango sticky rice even though dinner service hadn't started that long ago. That was disappointing, but it's still soft opening so I'll come back for it another time. The noodles were the highlight of the meal. The green curry beef cheek was underwhelming, but if you like spice that creeps on you, this one's for you. Parking: underground parking is validated for 30 mins

What I got: Fresh Coconut Thai Tea Mango Sticky Rice Pad Thai Spicy corn papaya salad Nam Tok Creamy Dtomyum Prawns Green curry beef Wow I love this new Thai place! I'm soo glad they opened up in Pasadena. The ambiance is cute and has plenty of seating inside. The service is amazing, they get really busy and food comes out really fast. Servers were very nice, friendly and fast service. Food is amazing! The best! I'm obsessed with the coconuty flavor. It soo hard to choose because we got soo much and all of them taste good. But for me the one that I remember is the creamy dtomyum prawns unlike other tomyum soup This one is more creamy coconut flavor and love the strong flavor of this soup I kept eating more rice! Green curry beef is also my favorite! The meat is soo tender and soft just melt in your mouth and the curry coconut flavor sooo goooodd! I am Definitely going to comeback here and try other dishes! I already told my friends about this new spot! SOO SOO good! I hope this restaurant do well

Stumbled upon Dalah during their soft opening and decided to give it a try! We ordered the blue crab fried rice, papaya salad, and beef cheek green curry. Everything was pretty solid and I'd recommend checking it out. Here's my ranking of the dishes I ordered. 1) Papaya salad 2) Beef cheek green curry 3) Blue crab fried rice The papaya salad was my favorite. It was refreshing, and I loved how they added corn into it. The beef cheek green curry was also really flavorful. I appreciate that the blue crab fried rice actually had real pieces of crab in it. Overall, everything tasted really clean and fresh. The staff was also really friendly, and all the food came out in a timely manner. The interior is also super spacious. It's located right across from LA Fitness, not on Lake. Parking can be a little tricky. I just parked in the lot diagonal of the restaurant and walked over. If you're in the area, I would recommend giving them a try.

A delicious new Thai spot in Pasadena, we just had to come try it out after seeing the reviews online! We've had many great Thai places, and Dalah was just added to our list. The place is small and seats out 40 people total so we had about a 15min wait on a Sunday early afternoon. It never stopped being busy as we saw two waitresses taking care of the full restaurant, both were friendly and accommodating. My family shared 2 of their most popular dishes; the beef green curry, and the beef pad see ew, along with one appetizer of chimichurri chicken satay. The chicken satay was absolutely delicious, the chimichurri was very garlicky and fresh and the peanut sauce was unusually creamy. The green curry was lightly spicy and tender, while the pad see ew was amazingly savory and the slices of beef were cooked to perfection. They offer Thai iced teas and ice cream from the local favorite L'moon, which we frequently visit for Thai tea soft serve. We finished the meal off with the mango sticky rice, it is seasonal and the mango was so ripe it tasted almost like concord grapes! Though I do wish there was more coconut milk sauce on top. Overall an amazing experience, but it does get busy and the parking is either paid in a garage lot or street only.

Came here with some friends to check out this new Thai restaurant during its very soft opening, and we were excited to give it a try. We were greeted immediately upon arrival and seated quickly. The space is small yet feels spacious, with clean lines, minimalist décor, and a welcoming atmosphere. We ordered several dishes to share, starting with the Pad Thai with grilled chicken. One thing that stood out was the addition of fried pork skin, which added a delicious crunch and unique texture to the dish. We also ordered the Kiew Whan Beef Cheek (green curry), and the beef cheeks were incredibly tender, practically melting in your mouth. The Chicken Satay Chimichurri was another favorite. I loved that they used dark meat chicken, which stayed juicy and flavorful. The chimichurri combined with Thai basil gave the dish a fresh, vibrant flavor that reminded me of some Vietnamese dishes. We also tried the fried tofu sticks and sautéed morning glory (ong choy), which weren't on the menu. Both were excellent. The tofu was crispy, light, and airy, and paired perfectly with the sweet chili dipping sauce. The morning glory leaned a little salty, but it was savory, flavorful, and absolutely delicious with rice. The staff also brought out a fresh fruit salad for us to sample and provide feedback on. It featured strawberries, grapes, green mangoes, and grape tomatoes tossed in their sweet-savory sauce. I could easily eat an entire bowl of this. It was refreshing, bright, and the perfect palate opener. To finish, we ordered the classic Thai mango sticky rice, which was the perfect ending to a wonderful meal. For a soft opening, the food was impressive, the service was warm and attentive, and every dish showed a lot of promise. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu.

Went to dinner with a friend on Friday night at 5:30 and by the time we left at 7 there was a wait. This place is excellent! The minimalist decor, the service, the incredible food, I wish we had more people so we could do a family style. Started with the chicken satay. Amazing, the chimichuri with peanut sauce amazing. I had the shrimp pad Thai and it was so flavorful and delicious. My friend had the drunk noodles (their mild is on the hot side) which was also good. We tried their two desserts and I'm torn as to which was better. The mango sticky rice had perfectly ripe mango, but the Thai tea ice cream was smooth, and not to sweet, something that happens with some Thai teas. All and all an excellent place and bring lots of people so you can try lots of things.

Bangkok Cafe Vibes Hit Pasadena. Let me introduce you to DALAH, the newest Thai Spot off of Cordova and S Lake. The moment you walk in, it's chic and an aesthetic that you already know the food is gonna be lit. From cozy bright cushions, tiled maroon tables and high ceilings, this not your typical Thai restaurant. The menu is simple not overwhelming and filled with selected classic Thai dishes with an elevated flare. The classic Chicken Satay is accompanied by a fresh Thai chimichurri to cut the richness of the peanut sauce and taste is eye opening. Steak Ramen Drunken Noodles is visually stunning soy coated curly noodles, bright cuts of peppers and slices of medium rare steak makes any carnivore weak. DALAH has found a way to improve the classic Pad Thai and its genius. My biggest problem with Pad Thai are the noodles always clumping together but Dalah uses a shorter noodle so I can enjoy my pad thai and all the complex flavors. Hat Yai Wings are crisp to perfection and if you love wings, you can't go wrong. Crispy Beef Cheeks over Thai Green Curry w/ Eggplant was nice surprise and satisfied my crave for something saucy over rice but wanted texture. You need dessert to end your meal and it's so good! The @lamoon_creamery Creamery Thai Tea Ice Cream Sundae as it is topped with coco jelly and graham cracker crumble. You can't go wrong with their classic mango sticky rice as the sticky rice is warm and rich with sliced mangos, ahhh! Sooo good. This spot is great for dining and celebrating with girlfriends, a lovely date with your SO or simply solo dining in a chic space. Dalah has great service and prepare for a good time! Restaurant closes on Monday & Tuesday!

we decided to give this new thai spot in pasadena a try. everything we ordered here was so delish and flavorful. our favorites would probably be the green curry and the mango sticky rice. everything came out super fresh and piping hot, but some dishes did take a while for some reason. overall, really liked each dish and felt like it was the perfect amount of flavor and spice in each. the steak was very tender as well for the mama drunken noodles. it's also quite spacious inside and some items came out relatively quick.

Karen L.

Solid new Thai place and quite unique in their curry flavors. I love that they add a lot of coconut milk so the spice isn't the type that hits you in the face but a slow build on the green curry. The red curry in the duck was milder and more tolerable for me, while I really loved the tenderness of the duck more than the beef cheek. They are currently in soft opening and seem to be offering a free mango sticky rice for orders $50 and above. The staff was also very nice to offer a small cup of complimentary Thai tea to try as they are in soft opening. Overall I really enjoyed the food and would be curious to try more items as they build the menu for their grand opening! Tip on parking: Try parking across the street at Shoppers Lane for first 90mins free, versus the $1 parking next to this restaurant location!

Christine S.

New Thai place in Pasadena! Soft opening - everything was a hit. I can definitely see myself coming back here with family. Interior is super cute and designed well. Menu is small and makes you want to try everything. The best was the fermented crispy pork appetizer with an addictive dipping sauce! Their pad Thai was really balanced and I like how the chicken was cooked on the side! The grilled beef salad was tender and came with lots of herbs. I also loved the cucumber side. The mango sticky rice is soo good with perfectly sweet mango!

Curtis L.

A pleasant experience! Arrived Saturday night and waited 30 minutes to be seated. The dining room was quite small but cozy. We ordered the chicken satay appetizer, which was cooked to perfection. Very juicy and tender, and the peanut sauce was well balanced and well seasoned. The pad Thai with prawns was solid as well. However, I felt that the beef cheek plate was a bit under seasoned and lacked depth in flavor. Regardless, the beef was very tender.

Delicious. I've ordered 4 times. Whether chicken or beef, the meat has been juicy and flavorful. Faves: Drunken Mama grilled beef and noodle; blue crab fried rice. Pad Thai is perfectly good especially paired with the juicy chicken, but didn't stand out like the Drunken Mama. I'll try the Pad See Ew next. Mango Sticky Rice is one of the best. The rice has a very, very faint saltiness that is irresistible. Thai Tea is made by L'Moon Creamery, which is where I first heard of Dalah. I've had this Thai Tea over 200 times, based on my stamp card collection.... Staff have been friendly whether over the phone or in-person. Nice and quiet inside, which I love. There's a parking lot around the block, which I paid for once. read more

Currently, I am here at the restaurant. The two waiters on duty on August 13 worked very hard--they were running around, serving, and cleaning tables. They are great staff. To make their jobs easier, you might consider hiring a busboy or extra help, if your budget permits. I understand this is a soft opening, which is meant for improvements, this is just my opinion from one visit, and I am unsure how other days are. The food, however, was delicious, and we enjoyed it. I don't know if this review will influence anything, but adding more staff on the floor would likely lead to better experience. read more

New Thai restaurant in Pasadena with amazing food, a beautiful atmosphere, and great service! I really loved their Pad Thai, the thin noodles they used have such a nice chewy texture, and the flavor is perfectly balanced and delicious. Their beef green curry is also very unique. The eggplant in the curry was surprisingly amazing! I normally don't like eggplant, but I couldn't stop eating it because it was so flavorful and cooked perfectly. They also serve Thai milk tea and Thai tea ice cream from L'moon Creamery, which is one of my favorite Thai tea spots. The combination of authentic Thai flavors, great desserts, and a welcoming atmosphere makes this place a must-try. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I happened to be at a job site next to Dalah, I ordered the Pad See Ew with beef, and it was surprisingly good. The noodles weee flavorful, the beef was tasty, and everything was cooked just right. The service was also very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even batter. If you're in Pasadena and craving Thai food, definitely give Dalah a try. I would highly recommend making Dalah your first choice for Thai food in the area. read more

Excellent food. It's marketed as contemporary Thai food, so be mindful there will be some differences from what you may be accustomed to. For example, the pad thai uses a thin round noodle, and the sauce is more sweet with less of the classic sour components. That being said, I've worked in Panorama City for the last 15+ years which has a large Thai population with a Thai temple and dozens of restaurants, and the food at Dalah is still 5/5 quality. We also ordered the khao pad bhu (crab fried rice) and moo ghan tod (pork/rice fried meatballs) which like the pad thai, are different than traditional flavors but still 5/5 in taste. I noticed they had sauces in the open kitchen which I'm assuming you could request if you want a little more bite, I think asking for prik nam pla (fish sauce with chilis) for the fried rice would be perfect. Service excellent, dining area is clean, bathrooms are clean. 5 year old daughter approved as well. My only (selfish) concern is I'm certain this place will do well, and I bet in a few months it will be difficult to get a table here. read more

Here for the second time! The staff is awesome like before - the manager gave me 2 new dishes to try out alongside my pad thai order. The food was great! Very excited to have new dishes in the works as my wife and I like Thai food very much. Very fun experience to try new dishes! I also like that they adjust the lighting as the night creeps in and everything gets a bit more mellow - they have these lights aimed at the walls that give a nice red hue. read more

Ended up discovering this gem through friends of mine. The decor is very cute and it has a nice open feel with touch of Thai styling and decor. Service was top notch with our server who was very attentive and patient with our table. I REALLY enjoyed my Pad Thai chicken. It sounds super basic if you eat Thai food regularly but it had a burst of flavor with a very good balance. The lime, peanuts and filet of grilled chicken came together very nicely. You can tell they took a lot of time with creating the recipe. I look forward to having it again! read more

A Hidden Gem for Modern Thai! You NEED to try this place. It's a modern Thai spot that hits you with rich, authentic, and incredibly bold flavors. The prices are super reasonable for the quality, the staff is welcoming and attentive, and the restaurant itself is completely spotless. We ordered a bunch of dishes, and honestly, every single one was a hit: Garlic Grilled Beef Short Rib: This was my absolute favorite. The flavor profile is so unique; I've genuinely never tasted anything like it before. It's a must-order! Pad Thai: You CANNOT miss this! The noodles have that perfect, authentic chewy texture. It's served with crispy pork rinds. The combo of the savory noodles and the crunchy pork rinds is literally fire. Braised Duck Red Curry: The curry is rich and perfectly balanced. It was so incredibly good that I ended up ordering two extra bowls of rice just to soak up every last drop. Pad See Eww Beef: This had the most amazing smoky, wok-hei aroma. It comes topped with grilled beef that is incredibly tender. Chicken Satay Chimichurri: Even the appetizers stand out here. The chicken is so tender and juicy, and the dipping sauce is totally unique and unlike any traditional peanut sauce I've had. Overall, 100/10 experience. The food, the service, and the vibes are all amazing. I will definitely come back. read more

I want to do all I can to promote this Thai restaurant Dalah. It is pretty new to Pasadena and the menu is so imaginative and delicious. There was Incredible service from the minute we walked in the door to their warm and spacious room, which was perfect t for conversations. We had their sensory special Pad Thai with chicken that my friend (who ate all!) was quite impressed. I absolutely loved the green curry with beef and eggplant and was so happy to have enough to take home to experience again. Desserts were delish also with the mango sticky rice and the Thai tea ice cream. I rarely take food photos, but these items all were designed for great visual effect. I highly recommend Dalah and found the whole experience added value! read more

Finally!!! If I could give more than 5 stars I would. A fantastic thai restaurant in Pasadena that has great food with great flavor and quality and not just mediocre thai food. The ambience is great also and parking available! I'm so happy that we don't have to go to LA just for great thai food. My husband and I hosted our nephews for dinner and ordered almost everything off the menu and everything was devoured. Out 3 year old even ate more than just the pad thai. I almost hate to leave a review because it'll just get busier! Even though they're still in their soft opening phase, I'm going to be very excited to see what else will be added to their menu once they are past the soft open face. The only thing that I really did not enjoy that much was the Thai iced tea which they get from a company. I'm hoping they make it more authentic! But other than that I love this restaurant. read more

Saw that Dalah recently opened so my husband and I stopped here for dinner during their soft opening. Menu is limited right now, but we got their beef salad, beef pad see ew, and chicken pad thai. The beef salad was our favorite, the meat was tender and the sauce was a burst of SE asian flavors that made the dish very enjoyable. The chicken pad thai was also really different from your typical pad thai that you get at other thai restaurants, probably one of the best pad thais I've ever had. The noodles, flavoring, and chicken were cooked to perfection. The beef pad see ew was also really good, and it came with a decent amount of tender beef. They're also offering free mango sticky rice with yelp check in during their soft opening. Highly recommend giving this place a try. Definitely can't wait to go back and take our friends here! read more

Checked out this new spot in Pasadena and really enjoyed my meal here! The Pad Thai stood out the most as flavors were well balanced, and the crispy pork rind (kab moo) was a great addition that added extra texture and flavor. The chicken satay was delicious--tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The chimichurri served on the side complemented it well and tied everything together nicely. The green curry was another standout, packed with rich, vibrant flavors that blended beautifully together. The beef cheek was incredibly tender and soaked up the curry perfectly, making every bite satisfying. I'll definitely be back for more! read more

came across this new thai place and had an amazing experience! we ordered the pad thai and the beef, and both were flavorful, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. the beef was chewier on the end pieces, which may have been cooked a bit longer, but overall it was yummy. the mango sticky rice was delicious, and they were very generous with the mango portion. the service was also fantastic. the staff were attentive, friendly, and checked in on us just the right amount. the restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and has a warm, inviting atmosphere. it's the perfect place to catch up with friends and family, enjoy great food, and spend a relaxed evening together. definitely worth a visit! read more

A star is born on South Lake -- go go go! My wife and I have a new favorite, and it's barely a week old. Dalah just opened on our block and it is outstanding. Go before everyone else figures out what we already know. The space is open, bright, and genuinely inviting, anchored by an open kitchen where you can watch the care that goes into every plate. The energy is contagious before you've even ordered. The service? Enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and caring in a way you can't fake. These are people who want you to love your meal as much as they love making it. And the food delivers on every promise. We had the tiger shrimp pad Thai, blue crab fried rice, chicken satay, and mango sticky rice for dessert. Every dish was executed beautifully, and the seasoning, texture and flavor was spot-on across the board -- that hard-to-achieve balance that separates good Thai food from great Thai food. The plates are as gorgeous as they are delicious, and the pride behind them shows. Portions are generous, too; we walked out with a small feast in to-go boxes. The team behind Dalah is young, just getting their start in a tough business. So this is a genuine win-win: treat yourself to a remarkable dinner and support people pouring everything into getting it right. Go. Go go go. You'll thank me. read more

I just had the chance to try Dalah, a new spot located on Lake and Cordova. It's right across from LA Fitness, but it can be a little tricky to spot at first--just look for the red door handle! The interior is beautiful and very modern. The food really hits the spot with an authentic, homemade flavor profile. My absolute favorite was the Padthai--the noodles were perfectly chewy, and the flavor was unique compared to any other Thai spot I've been to. I especially loved that it came with Kab-Moo (Thai-style chicharron); catching those fatty, crispy bits in every bite was pure bliss. Another must-order is the Moo Ghon Tod (fried pork bites). The pork is marinated so well; it's perfectly savory and umami-rich. I could honestly eat this dish every single day. The service was also lovely--the staff even brought out an Es-Yen (Thai coffee) for me to try, which was delicious. It isn't too busy right now, but I have no doubt that there will be a line out the door very soon. If you're looking for authentic Thai food with a unique twist, I highly recommend checking this place out before it gets crowded! read more

My family and I were running errands in Pasadena today and stumbled upon this new Thai restaurant on its very first day of opening. Honestly, we didn't expect much at first, but the cozy and inviting atmosphere drew us in, so we decided to give it a try. And oh my god, it completely blew us away! Forget about the ordinary Thai food you've had before. We ordered the Beef Nam Tok (Spicy Grilled Beef Salad), Roasted Duck Red Curry, Pad Thai, and Pad See Ew. The Nam Tok was incredibly flavorful--my husband absolutely loved it. The Roasted Duck Curry was rich and intense, and the duck itself was wonderfully crispy and delicious. The Pad Thai was perfectly balanced. But the biggest surprise of the night was the Pad See Ew. We've never seen Pad See Ew served with such massive chunks of beef before! It felt like eating a whole steak. It was worth every single penny and tasted like a solid 10/10. We will definitely be back! read more

The ambience and decor get 5 stars. The service was good considering it was a one woman show. The waitress was kind and as attentive as she can be during rush hour on a Sunday afternoon. The food was not worth the price I paid. The pad see ew was good. The pad Thai had good flavor and was the best tasting dish. I don't know how I feel about the grilled chicken on top. I prefer the chicken to be stir fried into the pad Thai. The curry was most disappointing. It was more of a can of coconut cream mixed with a whisper of flavor. $26 plate of beef cheek curry was a bit much due to the 4 small pieces of beef in a thick cream curry. Since it was a soft opening, I hope to see more selections on the menu and please do something about the curry. read more

We had enough food to easily feed 5-6 people, and the bill was still incredibly reasonable. I'll definitely be coming back!

The food also came out in around 10 minutes, which I was very grateful for as I was pretty hungry when I ordered. The cafe is fairly casual and there were several people picking up takeout orders.

They have a nice list of dessert options including mango sticky rice and homemade coconut Ice cream. Online ordering is available too but service is always fast and friendly. Street parking is no longer free in Pasadena as of 2026. Lots of paid parking in nearby lots. This is a must try spot for authentic and affordable Thai food in Pasadena's playhouse district.

Definitely one of the more memorable dining experiences I've had recently in Pasadena. I'll definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu. Highly recommended! read more

Dalah just opened in Pasadena and this place is a gem. We started with the chicken satay and short ribs. The chicken pad thai and duck curry were the real highlights of the meal, both absolutely delicious. We came in for lunch and loved every bite but the stunning decor has me convinced dinner here is going to be a whole vibe. I'll definitely be back! read more

I've visited Miya twice now and I can say it's a genuine go to neighborhood food spot…read more We got the Khao Soi Chicken, Basil Crispy Pork, and Pad Siew. We got the Yellow Curry Chicken, Thai Tea, and Mango Sticky rice as well (just not in the photos) and those were also a staple. All were phenomenal and had such rich flavor. The Khao Soi Chicken was truly the star of the restaurant and I would definitely recommend this dish for anyone interested in trying thai cuisine. The service is always friendly and the ambiance is very warm and pleasant. It's a very humble and family/neighborhood oriented space. I would recommend to come visit them early (they open at 11:30) since people do line up to eat here. It's a little small in the main area but they do have another dining area on the other side so seating is in fact plenty! There is street parking right out front but if there's none, not to worry there's a lot of parking in the neighborhood so the walk over is relatively short. We love Miya and can't wait to try their other dishes!

I'll be back but I'd probably skip that one until they get in line. 4.4 Red Curry (Pumpkin). 3.9 Summer Rolls Appetizer 2.2 Pad Thai The pad thai was straight surprising - it was oily, but bland. Fried tofu was tough skinned. Worst: the egg component was overcooked - if you've every left an egg in the pan too long and got that sharp sulfuric tang - that. Smells bad. Tastes bad. So heinous because it's so avoidable. Red curry great flavor. Rice portion too small for volume of liquid - needed to be 1.5x, could easily be 2x.

Only thing was Pad Thai noodles were pretty good & chewy in texture so not too bad. The chicken skewers were not much flavor & dry. Dishes were a bit oily. It's pricy for their portion & probably not returning for that & flavors weren't kicking. DID I MENTION ADDING BEEF (chicken is free) TOPPING TO CURRY ORDER IS +$3 & SEAFOOD I think was $8!

The braised eggplant was a bit too salty for my taste, and the Golden Beef Belly Noodle Soup was super duper spicy! I had to constantly drinking water to dilthe heat. Honestly , that's spicy level not a dish I'll be ordering again. The Spicy Wontons were a little too soft for my preference. I personally enjoy a firmer texture and preferably with shrimp filling. On the brighter side, the Lao Gan Ma Fried Noodles with Chicken were flavorful and definitely one of the better dishes we tried. As for the XLB (soup dumplings), they could use a little improvement when it comes to holding the broth inside. See video attached. The second batch was a bit better, so hopefully they'll continue adjusting for a better version . The real highlights were the marinated pig ears, fried dumplings, beef roll pancakes and the cucumber salad. Those were well seasoned and perfectly done! Service was friendly, and the restaurant was clean and well maintained, so no complaints there. Overall, I think the kitchen has a solid foundation, but a little adjustment and consistency in seasoning would make more reasons for customers to return. This is simply my honest opinion and experience to help small business succeed . Wishing the team continued success and Good luck!

Fresh, high quality, light and balanced. Really well executed and this husband. All the little details of each roll stood out!

My friend and I shared the following dishes: -Carlos Jewel Box: My favorite dish here. I just loved the variety. Sashimi and fried seafood on a bed of fluffy and seasoned rice. Also a nice umami kick from the ikura. The sashimi was tasty and standard, but I really enjoyed the fried seafood bites. The tempura batter was great and the seafood was nice and plump. -Tendon Combo with Cold Udon: Same notes for the tempura here, the batter was great and the tempura here is on another level. I also liked the half boiled egg and breaking the yolk into the rice, so delicious! The cold udon dipping noodles were also tasty and refreshing. Great for hot weather. I enjoyed the texture of the noodles. The value of each set was pretty good for what it was and the food was good quality. This restaurant is located in a cute alleyway with good outdoor ambiance. I enjoyed dining outdoors. The service here was great and the servers were kind. There's usually a wait to eat here. You put your name in on the tablet located at the restaurant and sometimes they have a waitlist available on the Yelp app to enter in. Overall, a great spot and I would definitely come back for good Japanese Food/Tempura.

Still very delicious though and was no wait for 6 of us for lunch on a Thursday! The cold soba was also a good compliment to the small tempura rice bowl. Overall pretty solid, though not sure if I would come here ONLY for the tempura. I heard the original location is amazing, but having this here in Pasadena and closer by is awesome too! They didn't have enough room for our party inside so we did have to sit outside which wasn't great in the warm weather. I'm glad I got to try it, as I've been waiting for months for the opportunity- as I also consider myself a lover of tempura and deep fried foods- but this didn't wow me as much as hoped a tempura place would. Maybe their batter isn't something I'm 100% into, and maybe hype played into it, but I'm not 100 % on the Carlos train yet. Maybe another visit or two will even those odds! *note: There is validated parking in the back for the first 60 minutes for Carlos Jr.

The food here is well worth maneuvering this intersection of Lake Avenue and California Boulevard. I was surprised to see how many people were inside this Peruvian restaurant. As I walked, I noticed a patio section on the outside by the entrance. Once I entered there was a large counter that wrapped around to the side. There was a service counter with a staff member taking orders over the phone as well as assisting customers with ordering to-go food. Everyone inside was extremely busy. Tables nearby were filled with customers. The counter area also had Peruvian products, snacks, candies, and sauces conveniently displayed. There was a short line before I got to the counter to make my order. I was unfamiliar with the menu so I asked for some assistance as to what I should order. There were a few things that were not available on the day that I was there. But I was able to order a number of their specialties. I decided I wanted a half chicken. I was informed that Peruvian chicken has a completely different flavor and comes with a special green sauce. I ordered spicy and extra spicy. I also decided to have the garlic fries, a side salad, and their special beans. I had: -Pollo a La brasa, half chicken. -Song de Pollo -Canary beans with housemaid Aji Amarillo Paste -Garlic fries, side salad, diced cucumber salad. I had them add their special sauces for the salad dressing. And the French fries with a barbecue sauce. When my order was ready for me to take home, they double checked everything asked if I needed some extra sauce which I agreed to and I was on my way. As I left I noticed more and more people coming in as it was getting close to an early dinner time. They had been busy the entire time that I was there, about 25 minutes. The kitchen's fragrant smells permeated the entire restaurant. When I got home and unpacked my food, everything was still warm. Flavors from the food engulfed my dining/kitchen area. Everything that I ordered was exceptional! The chicken flavor was like no other chicken that I have ever experienced: moist and tender. The shredded chicken sandwich was definitely my favorite. The toasted bread was filled to capacity with shredded chicken. Green sauce was added and the flavor was complete! A great value. I enjoyed this sandwich for two meals....both hot and cold! The cucumber salad and the garlic fries were as expected, with the cucumber salad providing a bright clean flavor. I would rate Loli Farms as a great experience. I look forward to coming back and tasting some of their other flavors. This restaurant is sure to continue its excellent reputation!

I really hope the owners read this review because I genuinely want to see Loli Farms succeed…read more They were struggling to keep up with orders and lacked organization!! They were quoting inaccurate times to everyone!! You could see and hear them panicking about which order was next. Guest were frustrated and constantly asking "how much longer". We were told it would be a 15 min wait and we ended up waiting over 45 minutes. They also didn't have time to clean the tables for guest. The chicken was great and moist but not as good as El Dorado Pollo à la Brasa. Especially considering the wait! They have better parking, better service, realistic wait time, and quality. I wish the best for Loli farms. Thank you.
