    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

    Please, if you love Thai food, this place is amazing! We tried different plates, the fish was delicious, the service is really nice and the ambiance is totally casual, go with your spouse, family and friends. The price is $ggggoooooddd! My friend who never tried a Thai food, loved it.

    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.

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

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

Although her tone already made me uncomfortable, I still politely followed up and asked whether it was made with coconut milk or regular milk. She then replied, "Right, it's coconut milk." Food allergy questions are never "stupid questions," and I believe most customers would appreciate a restaurant where servers can answer them with basic patience and professionalism instead of attitude. P.S She literally let the door slam on us while I was trying to push our double side-by-side stroller through the entrance. (She was outside while we're entering.) It felt incredibly rude and inconsiderate, especially seeing a parent struggling to get through the door with kids.

    My husband and I came here for the first time Friday night. The interior is beautifully decorated,…read morequaint and charming with an overall calming feel. It's super clean but without feeling steril. When we sat down, we noticed a nice woman with her mom who was celebrating her 95th birthday and we sat next to them. They were both very sweet and mentioned the items they got and how good everything was. We basically mirrored their dishes and were not disappointed by our choices. Generally, when you're at a Thai restaurant, you can't go wrong when you take advantage of suggestions given to you by two beautiful Thai people. We started off with an appetizer called "Gold Rush" which are 6 crispy, yet chewy wontons that are cooked until golden and then the dipping sauce was a tangy soy vinaigrette which I initially wished had not been taken away with our plates when we were done but any concern I had was soon forgotten when the other dishes came out because everything was so well seasoned that I never once thought, "I wish I still had some of that dipping sauce". We ordered the Laab Chicken which I always crave because so many Thai restaurants don't serve it. But Spice Season offers it and that might have been my favorite dish. I always order it without the rice powder because I don't like the powdery ground rice. I think it's a distraction from everything else in the dish. Our server didn't blink an eye when I asked that it not be included. Next, we ordered the Pad Thai. It was delicious. The noodles are thinner rice noodles (like angel hair) than what I have typically experienced (more like the size of linguini) but I loved the dish overall, would not change a thing and will definitely order it again. Blazing Basil Beef was the next dish that came out. The beef was super tender that night but it did not heat up well the next day. It got tough, even though I heated it up using a very low microwave power setting. This was in no way a reflection on how they cooked this dish because it was perfect when it came out. I will try the Heaven Scent next time or Spice Season Steak in lieu of Blazing Basil but that is not to say I would never order it again - far from it - but we are excited to try other dishes as I have noted further below. Rounded everything out with the Pineapple Fried Rice which I crave just as much as Laab but I'm usually nervous to try it because so many times the rice doesn't have any flavor, or not enough pineapple juice but not the case here! It was delicious! D'oh! I forgot to mention the Matcha Cheesecake which was heavenly. It took me several days to finish that off and unlike the Blazing Basil, it held up fantastically in the fridge for the next few days which is how long it took me to finish it off. Honestly, everything we tried was incredibly fresh, bursting with different flavors and cooked the way we enjoy our Thai food. We were not rushed, and the person who took our order said that we had ordered plenty of food which I appreciated - we do tend to over-order but that's because we eat the leftovers but I thought it was nice that she gave me the "that's probably enough" sign. Last thing I will mention just to help others on the spicy scale, we love our Thai food spicy. I read some reviews where people said the food was not spicy enough. We told our server that we like spicy and that we would leave it up to her - she said that everything would be a 4 out of 5 on the spice scale and while it was perfect for me, my husband thought it was just a tad too spicy but I think he's just out of practice. ;) We will probably go with 3 out of 5 next time, unless I'm alone. Then I would go back to 4 on the spice scale! I'm excited to try the Papaya Salad, Lime Steak Salad, Tom-Yum Fried Rice, Heaven Scent, and Lemongrass Soup. They definitely have a wide variety of food offerings, including things I've never heard of or seen. Something for everyone!
