This small restaurant serves comforting and incredibly delicious Thai food that deserves much more attention. Generous portions at very reasonable prices. Every dish is packed with bold, rich flavors that feel homemade and full of love. I was blown away by how flavorful and well-executed each one was. The Khao Soi was rich and comforting, the Beef Massaman Curry was deep and aromatic, and the House Fried Chicken, which is marinated overnight, was incredibly flavorful and crispy. We also tried the Prik King, Poh Tak Seafood Pot, and many other dishes that were just as impressive. Every plate showed the care and authenticity behind the food. Hollywood Noodle House delivers quality Thai cuisine and flavors that truly stand out from many other Thai restaurants. If you're in the SGV and love Thai food, this is definitely a spot worth supporting.

Service was excellent as ever, always consistent. Never rushed and always caring. 10/10…read more Food was on point as ever, as I've been saying in my previous reviews, best boat noodle outside of Thai town. Very rich and flavorful broth, along with a decent serving of meats and garnishes. 9/10 The crunchy tofu is like any other deep fried tofu, it's a 7/10, good. I can't get enough of this place!

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.

This place has been around for years, but it's my first time trying it…read more Ong Choy: really love the way the Ong Choy is made, it's not too salty and oily. It's flavorful and Ong Choy is nice and crunchy. Definitely a great vegetable selection. Pad Thai: the sauce is way too heavy and sweet. We didn't enjoy this as much as we thought we would. The first taste was good, but the more you have the saltier/sweeter it gets. The lime juice didn't lighten things up either. Don't really recommend it. Crab fried rice: there's a good amount of crab and egg in this dish. The rice is on the softer side, it's not dry and hard like most fried rice. We still enjoy it, the texture of the rice didn't kill the flavor of it. The flavor is very balanced, but quite oily. Tom yum seafood soup: There's a good amount of seafood in this soup. The flavor (sweet and sour) is well balanced. Sweet rice with mango: A great dessert option to finish the meal. It is not overly sweet. I'm not a fan of coconut, but the coconut is not distinctly sweet and overwhelming (so I was able to have some). The sweet rice is chewy and warm when served. And the mango is perfectly ripe and sweet. Definitely recommend it. The service was outstanding! The restaurant decoration is very traditional and unique. They are quite busy when we arrived on a Sunday night. I would give this place an overall 3.5/5 because they can definitely work on some of the dishes.

Tried this spot recently and overall had a solid experience. The chicken larb was really good. I…read moreasked for x4 spice level and they definitely delivered. Great flavor and heat. The only thing is their larb has quite a bit of sauce. I'm more used to a drier style, but it was still tasty. I also tried a couple of the BBQ dishes and their chicken wings. They were good, but it seems like they cater more to the American palate. All of the meats came covered in a sweet BBQ style sauce. That surprised me because the photos make it look like simple grilled meat. I was expecting something more traditional and just grilled, so I was a little disappointed to see it lathered in sauce. If you like saucier BBQ style meats you'll probably enjoy it. The flavors were still good overall. Just a little different from what I expected.

Stopped by during my lunch break and the service was quick and easy. I was able to walk right in…read moreand grab a seat right away. There was a young man and a young woman working the counter and they were both polite and took my order quickly, which I appreciated since I was on a time crunch. The restaurant itself was pretty quiet when I visited. They had a TV on inside and the space had a few booths and a couple of tables. I didn't notice any outdoor seating. I ordered the lunch special for $12.99, which came with pad Thai, white rice, wonton chips, a salad, and soup. The pad Thai was okay, although I've definitely had more flavorful versions before. I asked for a side of limes and that actually helped bring out the flavor a bit more. The wonton chips were great and came with a delicious sauce on top. The soup and salad were both really tasty and flavorful. Overall, it was a good meal for a reasonable price. I'd definitely be interested in coming back to try some different items on the menu.

I heard about this place because of their affordable and large menu of lunch specials and wasn't disappointed. We ordered the tom yum noodle soup and the garlic pork with rice, both of which were priced very reasonably at $10.49 each. The tom yum soup was sour with a slight kick of spice and had a decent amount of toppings. The garlic pork was very flavorful, although there was a lot of fat mixed into the pork pieces. Overall, for the price and selection, the lunch specials at Banana Bay definitely get a thumbs up from me.

We ordered the Rad Na with beef for $13.99, Crying Tiger for $14.49, Banana Bay Special Pad Thai for $13.59, Pad See Ew with beef for $13.59, and cup of Steamed Rice for $1.99. Felt the portions were small and the dishes tasted burnt and too sweet. Found little burnt specks in our food making us wonder if they clean or use really old pans. We also found a tiny winged insect in our Rad Na. None of us were fond of the food. Felt the serve was really good, probably because of where we sat.

The interior is ornate with traditional decor, and although the tables are tightly packed, it's comfortable. Back to the food. The portions are generous and the dishes are the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spicy. My favorites are the waterfall beef salad and the President Thai BBQ beef. We tried the fried soft-shell crab for the first time tonight. It was a pleasant surprise. Hot and crispy on the outside, soft and juicy on the inside. All the great flavor of crab without all the work of cracking through the shell and digging around for the meat. This was a treat! And of course, we must have mango and sticky rice for dessert.

On this visit, we decided to stop by for dinner, and it reminded me exactly why we've been coming back all these years. We ordered the Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, and Tom Yum Soup, and every dish was packed with flavor. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the Tom Yum had that bold balance of tangy, savory, and spicy flavors, and everything tasted fresh and authentically prepared. You can tell they've stayed true to their recipes over the years. One thing that really stood out was the portion sizes. We were not expecting such generous servings for dinner and ended up with plenty of leftovers to enjoy the next day. If you're looking for authentic Thai food with generous portions, president Thai is a must try in Pasadena.

Based on the ratings, I was so excited to try this Thai restaurant since it was close to our hotel…read more We ordered for takeout after a long day out. I called it in and they said 10-15 minutes. Cool! Since we didn't dine in, I can't say much about the ambiance of the restaurant. Anyway, after eating the rich, authentic flavors at the Thai temple, the good here was disappointing. We got the: Kai ga pow gai: 3/5 it was decent, but could've used some spice. We got medium spicy and there were no peppers. Boat noodles: 1/5 the worst rendition I've had. Noodles were too thin, no flavors in the broth, and beef was tough. Also could've used spice. Fried chicken with white rice: 2/5 Very dry, could've used a dipping sauce. Overall, this restaurant did not hit the spot. It could be the area or catered to the American palate. For rich, authentic flavors, Thai Town or the temple would be the recommendation.
