    Crab Rangoon (6 Pcs) BEST CRAB RANGOONS IN LA

    Amazing food EVERY TIME! If you're in Glendale and love Thai food, you MUST come to PadThai Bistro. I love it here. I have tried many of their dishes. My favorite is their Pad Kee Mao/ drunken noodles EXTRA SPICY. The last time I came here a few days ago, I believe I ordered the red curry very spicy with rice, and crab rangoon. Everything was served fresh. The flavors were so good. Their Thai tea is also super good. The service is amazing as usual and the restaurant is cute and very clean. Overall experience 10/10

    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!

    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 !!

    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.

    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

    Cute drink holder!

    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!

    Mango Sticky Green Rice
    Trav L.

    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!

    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.

    Curry Udon
    Shelley D.

    I've never thought to mix curry and udon before, but let me tell you, it is delicious! While mostly a take out place, you can eat in as well. I went in and my husband had the pad thai sukhothai with crispy pork which was really good as well. They also have pho and banh minhs as well. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes.

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

    Just a great old time with amazingly delicious Vietnamese food…read more Vibe is relaxed, family style. No booths but plenty of long tables to accommodate big groups. Wait list at the door but they always meet you at the door to help you to a table. O.G. servers who have been here for years. Recommendation: Shaken beef with tomato rice. The spring rolls are refreshing. Plenty of options to cater to your style. Vermicelli noodles/Pho/and rice dishes. Love the lychee lemonade.

    K5 Pho & Rolls is one of those reliable neighborhood spots I keep coming back to. It's probably not…read moresomewhere I would drive a long distance specifically to visit, but whenever I eat here, the food is consistently satisfying and I never regret coming. My usual order is the seafood pho with egg noodles. The broth tastes clean and flavorful, and the dish is always comforting. I've also brought friends here for the combination pho, and they've always enjoyed it. The pho may not be the most traditional or authentic style, but honestly, I prefer this version for my personal taste. My only complaints are that they don't accept Amex, which is disappointing since that's currently my primary card, and the service can sometimes be a little slow. The restaurant is usually busy, though, and it has never been slow enough to become a major inconvenience. Overall, it's a consistently good local spot that I'm always happy to revisit.

    Stopped by craving pho and happened to find this place on Google Maps. Tried the pork spring roll…read morewhich was refreshing and included a decent amount of meat, vege, and vermicelli. Beef pho hit the spot, perfect temp broth to wilt the herbs and sprouts, savory flavor, and tasty meats. The taco was a surprising hit, beef was the same from the pho topped with pickled onions. Must have with a spritz of lime and sriracha. Service was great, server was helpful, and friendly. Talked about the specials and took care of the rest. The restaurant has a charming fresh feel, nice decor and ample seating for groups. It was a little warm this summer afternoon but in all honesty it kinda added to the ambiance and reminded me a little of eating in Hanoi. All-in-all happy with my dining experience and will gladly add Lotus & Light in my pho round up.

    I have ordered here multiple times and i keep getting screwed over on takeout orders. I dont know…read moreif the cook just sucks or its management's orders but when you order a banh mi, it comes with jalapenos. 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.
