If you're ever in Old Town Pasadena and craving Thai food, I highly recommend checking out Moom 48 Thai Restaurant on Green St and Fair Oaks Ave. We went on a night when it was quiet, and I honestly loved that. The setting felt quaint and peaceful, with calm music playing softly in the background. It wasn't loud or overwhelming -- just a really relaxed vibe. The decor was beautiful too. There were Thai figurines and detailed wall art throughout the restaurant that gave it an authentic, cultural feel without being over the top. One thing I really appreciated was the menu. It was simple -- just one page, front and back. I actually prefer that. When a restaurant has too many options, it's way harder to decide. This felt curated and intentional. Of course, I had to start with a Thai Iced Tea. I get one every time I go to a Thai restaurant -- it's mandatory for me at this point. It wasn't overly sweet, which I liked, and it was really smooth and refreshing. We ordered a 6-count of spring rolls to go because I love spring rolls and can never pass them up. They were crispy, fresh, and exactly what you'd want. For the main dishes, I got the Hat Yai Chicken. It was basically Asian-inspired fried chicken, but elevated. It was absolutely delicious -- crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. It came with a sweet and sour sauce that had a little kick to it, which made it even better. My girlfriend ordered the Duck Curry, and we shared it. The curry had generous chunks of duck and was paired with red and green bell peppers plus pineapple for a little added sweetness. The sauce itself was sweet, spicy, and creamy all at once -- a perfect balance of flavor. They brought out a huge bowl of rice to pour the curry over, which made it even better. We were also served water with lemon, which was simple but refreshing and thoughtful. The staff was super friendly. The hostess was especially kind -- she even helped my girlfriend open the to-go bag when she was having trouble with it. Small gesture, but it showed great service. For everything we ordered, it came out to about $120 (we added tip, of course). Honestly, for the quality, portions, and experience, I thought it was fair. Overall: 9/10. If you're in downtown Pasadena and looking for solid Thai cuisine in a calm, welcoming environment, definitely check out Moom 48. read more

The service is good, the person helping us was very attentive. The food I did not like, we ordered a few plates and some of them had a weird flavor. I ordered the spicy rice and asked if they could make it spicy and she said they would but it had no spiciness at all. We also got an eggplant dish but that was too sweet. The potstickers were good we've had Thai food from other places that is way better than this place. Someone told us about this place and was raving about it but I don't think it was worth it. We were disappointed. read more

Pretty good, but a little pricey. Came here on a Saturday afternoon and my friends and I got a chicken pad thai and a jade curry with a side of white rice. The flavors of the pad thai were pretty good but I felt like the noodles were a little soggy but I still very much enjoyed the pad thai. The jade curry was a little more sweet than I expected but it was still pretty good. I never really had basil-y tasting curry so this was new! This restraunt was a little pricey but the servers were really nice and the interior was pretty cute. I think this is a nice place for a casual catch up with friends! read more

It's perfectly fine - for Thai food it just doesn't best out other local options like president thai, Chim, or, Silverlake Thai for me. I also feel like location wise the parking situation is a pain in the ass. Overall it's good, but value, competition, location, I just don't think it stands out as remarkable. read more

fried rice 4/5; pad Thai 3/5, summer rolls 4/5, satay 3.5/5 The food was averaging 3.6. There's plenty of room for improvement. The summer rolls only had 1 shrimp on top but the sauce did complement the rolls. The pad Thai was a bit too sweet and pungent smell of fish sauce. The skewers were ok. I will come back to try other dishes. The service was ok. The ambiance was very clean although was too hot inside. read more

Great food, very decent pricing, great service! Quiet and clean place to visit and have a variety of delicious dishes. Recommend!

Really solid Thai spot in Old Town. Service is always really friendly and fast, and parking is directly next door. Really love their fried rice, and have enjoyed the pad see eiw as well. read more

Incredible curry, possibly the best I've ever had and I eat a lot of curry. The service was wonderful very friendly and accommodating. They have soy chikn and I highly recommend it for your protein wow the flavor was unbelievable. The ambience is also very classy and comfortable. A great date spot. I will be back! read more

I'm really disappointed. I've been ordering from this restaurant for years without issues, but this time my order was canceled because of my location. It was frustrating and upsetting, especially as a loyal customer. I understand things happen, but I wish there had been better communication or accommodation. read more

Moom Thai is the absolute best. First of all, Bobby and Nancy are the sweetest and most welcoming. They remember my pad see ew tofu veggies noodles order Everytime and greet me with a warm hello. Lots of seating and very nice and spacious elegant inside. Wonderful for a small group or big party with reservation made in advance. All of the food is super tasty and servers are attentive to your dietary needs. Will return again and again here. A new favorite place. read more

The service was super fast and efficient, making a seamless dining experience. The food was both filling and delicious, we ordered Pad Thai with prawns, green beans with garlic and butter (you need to order rice separately for that, and gyozas as appetizers. It all came out quite fast and was delicious. The prices are reasonable, especially considering the generous portion sizes. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is quite chilled and cozy. Located in a vibrant area filled with shops and restaurants, finding parking can be a bit limited on the streets nearby. However, there are a few not expensive parking structure close by. read more

Great location for lunch in the Pasadena area! It's super convenient for me and my co workers and we usually come here when we are hankering for a sit down meal of Thai food. Plus, if you come during lunch during thier happy hour, you get a free egg roll and drink with your entree purchase! Thier Thai tea and green Thai tea are both very sweet, so you might want to ask for less sweetener, but I like it, so no changes for me there! I have been coming here a few years, hands down my favorite curry of thiers is the ruby curry, thier portion decent that I sometimes can't finish it. I like more sweet curries, and this one hits all the right spots! There's plenty of vegetables and bell peppers with the cheaper options of chicken, veggie, tofu and then also beef and shrimp for an uncharge. Service is friendly and pretty quick, as there usually not too much of a wait for everyone in our party to get thier meals! For about 20$usd (including tax and tip and time of this review) I think is a reasonable price for a sit down meal in Pasadena! Will continue to come here as long as I still find myself in the area wanting Thai food during lunch. There is a large parking structure on Green st (one way steet) and Fairoaks, connected to the same block building as Moom Thai, so pretty easy parking, as you go downstairs of the Green St exit and it's just around the corner! read more

Moom 48 Thai - Ruby curry with my plate of rice! Far back is the pad see ew - Asian Fusion Near Me - Pasadena, California

Stopped here on a whim after the Rose Bowl game. We were walking from the stadium and were so hungry. Being celiac I can pretty much count on Thai food being gluten free. We were lucky and were able to be seated quickly. I could tell the server was very informed about the gluten free options. She was very knowledgeable. I ordered the PANANG curry-nutty curry, pea carrot, bell pepper, basil, green bean with chicken and white rice cost is $17.85 It was super nutty sweet and smooth. The restaurant and bathroom were nice and clean. The service was excellent. Would recommend for gluten free and any one else. read more

March 2024/Pasadena: Moom 48 Thai was a tasty surprise! Discovered the restaurant after seeing a movie nearby & craving a bite to eat! We stumbled upon this Thai restaurant while walking around!

Love this dish & would order it again!! I also ordered a side of white rice! Large portions; I had plenty of leftovers! Service With A Smile: Thanks, Audi! We received incredible customer service; highly attentive! Loved the decor of the restaurant, very pretty!

The food is so good. We ordered papaya salad, pad see u and Tom yum noodle soup. Their Tom yum noodle soup was bomb! Compared to other places it's less sweet, and it has fish cakes in it. I think the flavor is more balanced compared to most of other places I've tried. Pad see u is also super flavorful. And the papaya salad is very fresh. Every dish we ordered came in huge portion size and we were so satisfied read more

It was a cold night. It was time for some Thai food. No connection to cold nights or even rainy days/nights. Random night really. Haven't stepped into this restaurant which I pass quite frequently. Glad we did. Quenched my thirst with some Thai iced tea which is staple when at a Thai restaurant. Yellow curry was a bit spicy and I wasn't asked about the level of spicy preferred. Honestly didn't think about the spice level until I started to eat it. The flavor was there though with chicken potato and carrot. Enough for 2 meals for me. I had it with brown rice which had rice more grain in it? It was fine. Pad see yu is a favorite and it was yummy with chicken and veg. Leftovers were great the next day. Restaurant is clean. Staff is courteous and quick service. Parking garage around the corner and metered street parking. Will be frequenting this spot. read more

Plenty of food to share family style, we had leftovers. Excellent service. Very clean. Entire experience 10/10. Nearby street parking or plenty of parking in nearby structure on Green Street. read more

Hard to fathom how this place has a 4/5 stars - had to leave a real review. Can hardly call this place Thai, they serve pad krow pow but doesn't even serve with the classic ground pork. They must of forgot to put an extra cube of curry spice in their panang curry because all we tasted was a slurry of coconut water, Do yourself a favor and avoid this location or try a place worthy of being called Thai food across the street at Kwan's kitchen - whose restaurants while not even sounding Thai - reflect the Thai culture in so many ways more than Moom 48. read more

Everything was fresh and light, not overly salted or sweet, very little spice... also very little flavor. The vegetables and chicken were perfectly cooked. The wine pour was small. We had the shrimp wonton soup, cashew nut stir fry, and pad Thai. The service was solemn and polite. I'm rounding up a star because it was raining tonight... and rain makes some Angelinos sad. You know? I'm not sure we'll be back... but I wouldn't complain if we did. This isn't Thai Town folks. read more

Moom 48 Thai - Shrimp wonton soup - Asian Fusion Near Me - Pasadena, California

Food: Flavor is okay but a little too sweet for our palettes. Pad See U - Probably the biggest sweet culprit here. However, we added in some extra regular soy sauce and that helped level it out. This dish, from my knowledge, is generally made with a sweet soy sauce but I've never had it as sweet as the one here. Prik King - We got it spicy! For the average person, it might be spicy but there wasn't any kick for me. Again, flavor is on the sweeter side but not as bad as the pad see u. It has a nice spice taste to it without the kick. My mom and sister thought it was spicy though, so everyone will be different. Chow Mein - Usually not a sweet dish at all but again, Moom 48 gave it some sweetness but thankfully not as much as the previous two dishes. Based off of my sister's opinion since I'm vegetarian: Moo Ping - Sweet. We are starting to sound like a broken record but this is just the profile we got from a majority of our dishes. The saving grace of the moo ping was the tangy and spicy sauce it came with. My sister said it helped a lot and brought a brightness that was much needed to the dish. Wings - Flavor was good and it was my sister's favorite. Really nice and crunchy. Service: Friendly and hospitable. We didn't interact with them too much but they seemed nice. Ambiance: Clean and nice. Modern feel with brick and wood paneled walls and black chairs/booths. I'm not going to give up on this place just yet, would come back to give this place another try. Next time, we'll just be sure to ask them to make the food less sweet. read more

Food Overall tasty. Service is attentive and friendly. Very spacious inside. Duck curry is flavorful with good amount of meat, veggies and pineapple. Chicken satay is tender. The peanut sauce has a thick consistency- Kind of odd. But can taste that it is peanut sauce. We also ordered a bowl of tom yum shrimp soup. lots of mushrooms with three shrimps.

Another spot that we finally gave it a try. Of course like many of the places I've walked by, this was another one of them. Location is good, right in the heart of old town. Plenty of parking as it's right next to one of the parking structures. As well as street parking along the area. It's not a super big restaurant so it can get pretty busy. We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and, which all the tables were pretty much occupied. A couple along the walls were emptied as they were reserved. Didn't take that long for a table but after seated, a line was forming. Menu wise, there's all your traditional dishes you would expect for a Thai restaurant. But prices are a bit higher than some places. Guess depending on your location. We had the shrimp coconut soup, it was good. Chicken pad see ew and the chicken panang. Food was good, flavor is nice. Service was great as everyone was pretty friendly and attentive. If you check in on Yelp, there's either goyza, fried banana or a drink offered. Overall, food was good. Location is nice, pricewise, it is a big pricer than some but given location. read more

Food: the presentation of the food was all nice, but there was plenty to be desired. To be fair, everything is as stated on the menu, but the dishes were all too simple in my opinion. Summer rolls: I wish they had the shrimp evenly distributed inside the rolls. The shrimp was just sitting on top of the rolls, probably for the presentation. The peanut sauce was good though. Chicken Gyoza: tasted good, got this for checking in on Yelp Tom Yum soup: Omg this soup was so basic I regretted getting the large size. It's as stated on the menu, but I guess I wasn't paying enough attention. The only veggies inside were mushroom and tomato. I would've appreciated a potato or carrot as well. Broth flavor was good Kua Kai: good flavor, I'd order this again All in all, I won't be returning because there's so many Thai restaurant options around and the service wasn't great. I had to keep flagging down the waitress and not once did she come check on us read more

Beautiful Thai restaurant located in downtown Pasadena. We ordered the Tom Yum Chicken, Papaya Salad, and Drunken Noodles with tofu to split among three people and it was the perfect amount! This papaya salad was spicy so all three items had a spice to it. We went on a Tuesday night for dinner so we were seated quickly and service was very prompt. The interior looks very chic and you have a great view of Downtown Pasadena. read more

Great experience here! We stopped by for lunch on a weekday and were seated immediately. The overall vibe was modern and clean with very spacious seating. It was so sweet of them to give us egg rolls and Thai teas with our order during lunch hours. For appetizers, I really enjoyed the golden tofu which was very flavorful and crunchy. The pad Thai came out to be a pretty generous portion, probably enough for two people to share. Service was great, and the staff was attentive with refilling our waters. Parking was very convenient as the School House Garage is right next to it for $1 - sadly it's not free anymore. PRO-TIP: Check in on Yelp for a free drink, gyoza, or fried banana! read more

It's very convenient for me and I usually go here when I want to have a proper meal. Also, if you come here during lunchtime happy hour, you can get a free egg roll and drink with the purchase of an entree! Their Thai tea and green tea are both very sweet, which is perfect for people who like sweet food My favorite curry is undoubtedly the ruby ​​curry, which is so filling that sometimes I can't finish it. This curry is just right! There are lots of vegetables and green peppers, and they even give you free beef and shrimp. The service is friendly and quick, as I usually don't have to wait too long for my meal! About $20 read more

Has a good vibe to it but the food can have some more taste. I got the pad thai and there wasn't enough flavor): The staff was friendly.

It was definitely packed for a Saturday night but they were very fast with service. Portions were massive and very generous, but I do feel like they should cook with less oil. They have plum wine on the menu which is a big win for me! Love that they're also very generous with the amount of basil in the fried rice. The chicken satay had a peanut sauce with a very thick consistency and it was a bit too sweet for my liking. read more

So I just ordered pad thai and ITS WORSE than the drunken noodles!!!! No flavor! If you want delicious Pad Thai go to "My vegan" in Pasadena on arroyo parkway. They don't even have to use oyster or fish sauce to make a superior Pad Thai and then they have a special one that has eggplant in it that is even better if you want to have that. Hello, it's obvious that fish sauce or oyster sauce is not necessary for the flavor. Pad Thai at My Vegan tastes incredible. I cannot believe that this food is so bad at Moom that I can't even finish it, I wasted my money and my time. I try to be fair and I was going to write a review that was fair and this is like the worst Pad Thai I've EVER had!! & this is my fair and truthful review. Why would it be so difficult for them to make a staple dish of Thailand that actually tastes very flavorful?! How difficult could it be????!!! read more

Moom 48 Thai - Greasy as hell. Drunken noodles. I remove the food so you could see how much grease is in this tray. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Pasadena, California

We went here on a Saturday night and it was dead, there was only one other party in there, which usually would steer me away from eating somewhere, but a friend recommended it. The food came out SO QUICK (realizing this is a pattern in LA). We ordered the chicken pad Thai and the spicy chicken fried rice. Both were large portions and incredibly well placed, especially for the location. The pad Thai was delicious and the fried rice was really good, but not necessarily spicy. read more

My new favorite Thai restaurant in Old Town Pasadena area! They took over the City Thai corner spot, redoing the interior and the food is delicious. The Pad Thai is delicious - the noodles are perfectly cooked (not soggy and broken). And the pineapple curry is great! Beware that spice levels here are pretty hot. They also offer a "Happy Hour" with a free egg roll and drink from 11-3 Monday to Friday with most dishes. Dine in only. Only wish is that they'd fix the carbonation on their soda machine. Their soda is always flat!! read more

TLDR: Come with no expectations for the food and the service, or you'll be disappointed. The food was average, and the staff's service was absent until you finish ordering and had to pay. Not finished? You will have the check mid-meal, no problem! - - - - - - I visited Moon 48 Thai after Ramen Tatsunoya had lines out the door. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I always love eating Thai food. When we first entered the restaurant, we were seated and water was brought promptly. We ordered the Veggie Egg Rolls as an appetizer, and we received for piping hot egg rolls - scalding hot interior even after waiting 5 minutes. It came with a thick, sweet sauce which made the egg rolls better; without it, the fried skin had a weird after taste. My friend ordered the shrimp wonton soup, and when asked whether to order a small or large, the server said that small would be more than enough. However, when his shrimp wonton soup arrived, it was very small and fit for a child or light eater. A large would have been much more appropriate. I ordered a Jade curry with chicken for myself, and I wasn't sure what to think. The curry was alright, but it was not spectacular or outstanding in any way. The chicken was very dry, and the curry was runnier than expected. Funny that I mention runny - this is something I wish the staff were during our visit. We had to wait 5 minutes before any servers were near our table, and when asked for water refills took another 5 minutes. What's hilarious is while I was midway into eating my curry, a server had dropped the check off at our table - odd! The whole experience felt unwelcoming and rushed, and there wasn't even a line... read more
