    The sweet owner gifted my sister a graduation cup with their delicious Thai tea.

    PadThai has the most delicious and closest to authentic Thai food in LA. They have the friendliest, most welcoming, and attentive customer service in LA. My family and I discovered this beautiful establishment in 2013 when they were first located near Hollywood. And when we found out they moved to Glendale, so did we. My sister recently had a graduation, and they were kind enough to stay past their closing time for us, had warm food ready nd even decorated and set the table for us. :,) We are beyond grateful for them and hope others can give this sweet place a try :D !!

    I had a wonderful experience dining here! The owner was incredibly kind and even gave me some extra food, which made me feel so welcomed. This was my first time trying Thai food in this area, and I was truly impressed. The food was absolutely delicious, and I will definitely be coming back again!

    Pad Thai with chicken

    Delicious food like always! Pad Thai Bistro has the best Thai food in Glendale. Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, Crab Rangoons, Thai Tea! It's all truly delicious. The service and ambiance is outstanding - super nice staff and comforting tables inside to eat at. They can make the food super spicy or not spicy, but flavorful. Would recommend for Thai food in Glendale

    We are always on the hunt for new spicy meal serving restaurants. We had cravings for some Chicken Pad Thai which is my favorite Thai dish. The restaurant is a small hole in the wall joint but with comfortable seating and great service it's well worth a visit. The food came out just the way we like it and it was spiced up hot without being overwhelmingly mouth burning. Look to spend less than 40 bucks for two people which was enough food to fill us up.

    Green curry Dumpling with curry sauce
    Stephanie A.

    Food was pretty good. My favorite honestly was the entire experience. The dumplings were okay, I wondered if they were home made bc they tasted a little Reminiscent of Costco dumplings in green sauce. The salmon with veggies and basil was good. Tom yum was delicious but too spicy if you're sensitive to spice. Start with mild, lol. service was okay, they were a little busy but some servers weren't working. Ambiance is nice, it's a like a mom & pop spot in a lot.

    Cute drink holder!
    Ellie R.

    Cute little hole in the wall spot cranking out traditional Thai fast and hot. I ordered to go and got a cute drink carrier and a solid sized serving. The spicy basil chicken was fantastic!

    First time ordering takeout here. Tried Thai food with an open mind and loved it! Definitely coming back.

    Mango Sticky Green Rice

    Great food. We are very picky with Thai food. They have other Asian dishes too. The pho is strong with all the sides. This families recipes are delicious. The prices are great. The egg fried rice is my mom's favorite. That mango sticky rice- a must!

    Shrimp Pad Thai, contains peanuts
    Evelyn R.

    Really great Thai food. 10/10 had the shrimp pad Thai once and have to come back for more!

    The food here definitely hits the spot. They have Vietnamese & Thai dishes. The prices are reasonable and the portions are large. Free parking which is great. The restaurant itself is a little small, just 5 tables, but the service is quick and friendly. The only thing is the kitchen is in the front of house and it gets really loud. If you're trying to have a conversation, make sure to project your voice lol. Will be back!

    Crab Rangoon Sticks
    Joe S.

    While in Glendale, I had a craving for Thai food and this place was nearby and had decent reviews. When I arrived on a Sunday evening, I was surprised to find the place empty. I was seated quickly and proceeded to order a couple of things from their Thai/Chinese menu. I chose the Crab Rangoon Sticks and Pad See Ew with chicken. I rarely eat Crab Rangoons but several reviewers mentioned how good they were so I made an exception. The menu had two versions, wontons and sticks. I was told they were identical except for the shape so I chose the sticks since that was new to me. They arrived in lightning speed in a small wire basket. At first glance I was shocked at how skinny they were, like pale crispy cigarettes. They came with a clear-ish sweet dipping sauce. They were interesting, a bit on the chewy side, with a crispy exterior and a distinct cream cheese flavor but virtually no crab taste at all. I ended up adding Sambal to the dipping sauce to add a little spice and to cut the cloying sweetness. The Pad See Ew was run of the mill with nice wide noodles in a light brown sauce with fresh Chinese broccoli and sliced chicken breast. It had that distinct char flavor that I expect. My only complaint is that the slices of chicken breast were cut with the grain instead of against so they were a little tough. Overall it was an okay meal. Not great but not bad. I'll pass on the Crab Rangoon Sticks but I'd order the Pad See Ew again, perhaps with a different protein.

The staff also wears gloves when handling food. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is available for take outs and has some indoor seating available with limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between customers. I mention these things in my reviews for the sake of protecting immunocompromised people like the elderly and people sick with cancer and other illnesses. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was in this establishment several months ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they only had lunch specials available from Monday - Friday at the moment. They currently don't have happy hour. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is non existent. You will have to find street parking or local parking garages. Make sure to read the street signs well before parking. I saw someone get a ticket while walking to the restaurant. Food and Drinks: I got myself a peach jasmine iced tea. It came in an old school can type container, which was very unique and cool. The drink itself was very fruity, floral, and refreshing. As someone who loathes super sweet drinks and food, this was just right. Perfect for a hot summer's day. My dope ass friend and I ordered the spicy garlic chicken rice and shaken beef garlic noodles. The spicy garlic chicken rice is a signature wok dish featuring flash-fried chicken, broccoli, and jalapeños tossed in a bold, savory garlic sauce served over a bed of hot and fluffy rice. It also comes with some popular Vietnamese veggies like lettuce, daikon radish, and pickled carrots. The chicken itself was soft, tender, and flavorful. Truthfully, this dish was mid compared to that of the shaken beef garlic noodles. It was also a pretty hefty portion of food. The shaken beef garlic noodles were hella fire. You would be remiss if you didn't order this, y'all. That's like going to Disneyland during Halloween season and NOT taking a photo with the gigantic ass pumpkin. Tsk tsk tsk. Anyways, this dish had thick, incredibly tender, mouth watering, and juicy cuts of wok-seared beef tenderloin and buttered onions served over generous portions of al dente savory, garlic-loaded noodles. As a fan of garlic and onions, this dish hit the spot. Also, this was a "wet" noodle style rather than a dry stir-fry. The generous portion sizes make it a heavy, highly filling meal. Staff: So I arrived earlier than my friend. They technically were not supposed to seat me until my friend arrived, but because the restaurant was pretty empty when I arrived, they told me to sit down at a booth to wait for my friend. Thanks, Mariska. She was very welcoming, accommodating, and friendly. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum.

Prices may have gone up slightly since my first visit, but overall they've remained pretty reasonable. Parking is located behind the building, and it is paid, so just keep that in mind. I've ordered both takeout and dined in, and consistency is key with this place--they deliver every time. I absolutely love their egg rolls. They're hearty and come with a piece of lettuce to wrap them in, which I had never experienced before. Now I can't go back--it adds a freshness and crunch I didn't realize I was missing. I usually go for their build-your-own bowl because I love the combination of thinly sliced brisket, shrimp, and steak--basically a surf-and-turf in a bowl. Their chicken pho is like a warm hug when you're feeling under the weather. Anytime I feel a little off, this is the place I want to go to feel better. The staff is always friendly, kind, and very attentive, which makes the experience even better.

I even verified with the girl on the phone when placing the order i wanted jalapenos. The banh mi has no jalapenos, half the sandwich is daikon and carrots with a cucumber and the thinnest layer of overcooked beef on top. I ordered last month 2 banh mi and egg rolls. Banh mi had no jalapenos either, the egg rolls were missing lettuce wraps and the sauce was half the to go container. I've eaten here in person and received lettuce when eating in the restaurant, their yelp photos show lettuce wraps with the egg rolls. But every time i ordered egg rolls for takeout it is missing lettuce wraps. The one time i ordered and got the lettuce wraps with egg rolls, i had to explicitly tell them to add it that time. I thought this placed served the food as it should be in their culture? I've held back leaving a bad review of this place because i thought they would somehow improve or it was a one off mistake but this was the final straw. Consistently screwing up or intentionally holding back ingredients on takeout orders crazy. How much are you actually saving by with holding lettuce, sauce, and jalapenos??? This place used to be good, now it's just another above average spot. If you want banh mi, go somewhere else and be less disappointed.
