They are located on Garvey Ave within the Vikon Center in Rosemead. This spot used to be a Vietnamese restaurant a very long time ago. It brought back some nostalgia when I walked through the doors. Upon entry, I was greeted by a nice gentleman behind the counter. He may have been the owner not 100% sure though. Good interior seating space. Nice and clean. Lots of windows with great sunlight shining through. Their menu has quite a variety of Thai dishes and some intriguing ones, too. Prices were fair. I usually get my go-to dish which is the Pad Woon Sen (glass noodles) with seafood. This time I got it with just shrimp. Of course, I had to get an order of fried bananas. They make them to order. Just know you're getting them fresh from the fryer every time. I also got one Thai Green Tea drink. Everything from noodles to bananas to drink were very good. I appreciate the 5-6 big shrimps in the Pad Woon Sen. Glass noodles were firm and not mushy. Tomatoes and green onions were fresh. Wok flavor was on point. Good quality dish! I would get it again. As for the fried bananas, they weren't as good as the first time I had them. Don't get me wrong, they were very hot and fresh. Good portions, too. I just think they were thin with the batter and also they probably needed to sit a little bit prior to eating them. Thai Green Tea was refreshingly good. I love drinks with crushed ice! Glad I tried them. Definitely a spot I would return to so I may try their other specialty Thai dishes. Maybe I'll dine-in next time.

The interior was well lit, filled with pretty flowers, and they even had some Thai music playing! After looking through the menu we finally ordered. Our table ordered the chicken red curry, shrimp butter fried rice, beef pad see ew, and pad gra pow. Everything was pretty standard across the board, just very good authentic Thai food. Only thing is that the pork from the pad gra pow was a little salty and not as fatty/tender as I'd like. Parking was very easy.

I'll definitely be coming back to try more dishes!

I ordered the Pad Thai and Yellow Curry, and both completely hit the mark…read more The Pad Thai is high-quality and very traditional--the noodles have that perfect chewy texture and a great sweet-and-tangy tamarind flavor without being overly sweet. The Yellow Curry is pure comfort food; the broth is incredibly rich, smooth, and aromatic, with perfectly cooked potatoes and veggies. On top of the great taste, the portion sizes are very generous. You definitely get your money's worth here, with plenty of food to leave you full (and probably take some home). Will definitely be ordering from here again! Highly recommend.

GREAT FOR WHAT IT IS. After going to Yoshinoya so many times for some cheap and fast food, I got…read moretired and wanted to try something different. Every time I went to Yoshinoya, I passed by this Thai restaurant in this plaza that I didn't even know existed. So one day, I decided to give it a try.... and I'm so glad I did! What surprised me so much about this place was the price of everything. At $13.99 each for their Pad Thai and Drunken noodles, you are NOT going to find that price anywhere in this area with today's prices lol. Is the food here at the level of President Thai on Rosemead? No. But for the price you're paying, I'm really impressed and the food is still pretty good. At their ~$14 price point, they're also giving their big-chain neighbor, Yoshinoya, a run for their money too. They also have a BOGO free Thai Tea so don't forget to take advantage of that! What I want to harp on and warn everyone about though, is that the restaurant seemed very hot inside. I came at 2:30 p.m. on a Saturday afternoon in the summer and it seemed like they didn't have any AC working. Luckily, I ordered for take-out, but I definitely would not have been comfortable eating in the restaurant. I felt their portion sizes could be a bit bigger. I know I praise their low prices, but maybe that is the small trade-off--I felt those to-go boxes could be filled up a bit bigger! But minor harps aside (at least for me) I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for cheap and fast Thai food. The workers here (seemed like a family?) all seem very friendly and helpful and I encourage everyone to support local small businesses and give this place a try!

This was actually my first time dining in at the restaurant, and flavor-wise it's definitely just…read moreas good as I remembered. Solid prices and good tasting food overall. When I first arrived, I honestly thought it was closed since it was dark and empty, but it turns out they have a side dining room separate from the main entrance. It's not the prettiest place to sit, so I'll probably stick to takeout in the future, but the food itself is definitely tasty for the price. Here's what I tried this time around: Seafood Pad See Ew - Not the best I've had, but still pretty good. Nice mix of seafood and solid flavor. (4/5) Panang Curry - Very tasty and a generous portion for $13. Creamy, flavorful, and comforting. (4.5/5) Chili Thai Chicken - If you're into fried-style chicken, this one hits. Crispy, a bit oily, and very satisfying. (4.5/5) Mango Sticky Rice - The coconut sticky rice was warm, plentiful, and delicious. The mangoes were on the older side with a bit more bite, though still sweet. Rice: (5/5) | Mangoes: (3.5/5) Overall, I'd definitely eat here again, most likely as takeout. I really appreciated that each entree came with rice instead of charging extra, and the service was very friendly.

It's a simple, delicious dish but a bit oily. Overall (4/5): Would definitely go for the lunch special offerings. Plenty to choose from and was surprisingly busy for a weekday lunch. Service was ok and food was good for the price. It's pretty busy and a bit noisy inside too.

We waited for about 10 minutes and the food came. The dishes were delicious! The flavor of the panang curry was on point, the curry puff was crunchy on the outside and it tasted like Indian curry flavor on the inside, almost like a samosa. For the pad kee mao, made the mistake of choosing a level 2 spicy and it was a little spicy for me. I'll make sure to choose level 1 next time. I felt the lad na was a little underwhelming. It was brought in a big soup bowl, but I've had it on a plate with gravy on top. Way too much gravy, like a soup. Overall, it was good and I would come back and try other dishes. It's a legit Thai restaurant.

(4.5/5) Pad See Ew (Seafood) - Still delicious and had really strong wok flavors. We got this with seafood, and it was good. Not as good as my last visit, but still really good. (4.5/5) House Special - We got this with beef. They basically fry the beef and mix it with their special sauce and some lettuce. It's good, but also nothing too crazy. Solid.

Hibiscus Iced Tea: Tastes Good. Lightly sweet and subtly tart. Chicken Khao Soi: A Northern Thai-style dish featuring pickled mustard greens, bean sprouts, shallots, and crispy fried egg noodles soaked in a coconut curry broth--it tastes good. The broth performs well, though Manaao in Tustin serves a more delicious version. Yet, eating noodles with only a fork and spoon, and no chopsticks provided? Coconut Pandan Ice Cream: It is okay, about the same quality as what you would find in a supermarket. If it were not for the Dine LA deal and the desire to try somewhere new, there would be no reason to drive 50 minutes here from Irvine. Restaurants that perform worse: Ari's Thai Eatery (Azusa): Too salty and greasy. Phaket Thai (Redondo Beach): Average taste. Siam Station (Irvine): A bit salty, and the mango sticky rice is disappointing. Restaurants that do better: Manaao (Tustin) Thai Nakorn (Stanton) Fasai Thai (Garden Grove) Thai Cafe (Irvine) Nara Thai Kitchen (Irvine) 價錢不貴，口味中規中矩的泰式料理。 泰北草本鹹香腸拼盤：淋上檸檬汁，配薑片、香菜、花生米、胡蘿蔔絲、紫甘藍絲食用，蠻特別的吃法和口感。 洛神花茶：淡甜微酸還不錯喝。 泰北金湯咖哩雞肉麵：酸菜、豆芽、紅蔥頭、酥炸雞蛋麵，浸泡在椰香咖哩湯的泰北風格料理，不錯吃。湯頭表現不錯，但 Tustin 的 Manaao 比它更美味。 吃麵條卻沒給筷子，只有叉子和湯匙？ 椰子班蘭冰淇淋：還行，和超市販售的差不多水準。 要不是 Dine LA 特惠想嘗試沒吃過的店，真沒必要從爾灣開車50分鐘來此。 口味比這家差的餐廳： Azusa 的 Ari's Thai Eatery（太鹹膩） Redondo Beach 的 Phaket Thai（口味一般） Irvine 的 Siam Station（有點鹹，芒果糯米不太行） 口味比這家強的餐廳： Tustin 的 Manaao Stanton 的 Thai Nakorn Garden Grove 的 Fasai Thai Irvine 的 Thai Cafe Irvine 的 Nara Thai Kitchen
