    Thai Tea and Salad for Lunch Special
    Cherlene L.

    This place is a true hole in the wall, especially with the view of it from the parking lot. I was here with a few friends on a weekday for their lunch special. For about 15.99, the meals come with a select menu of entrees, a small salad, and a drink. Food was good, nothing crazy stand out. Can't be a meal deal or lunch special nowadays. My shrimp pad thai was a bit on the saltier side that my drink was gone before I was halfway done with the meal. My friends enjoyed their dishes very well, so it could've been my entree choice. I do hope to come again soon to try their other dishes. Service was the usual. For small venue, they did not need many people on hand. It only was an issue when the place had a few more patrons after we came. Our server was super sweet though despite all the chaos going on. Would still come here again for their lunch special. Not a big fan of its parking lot though. It's a bit chaotic but there is a parking structure connected with parking available.

    One of the best restaurants I have ever been too. The food is always made to perfection with so much flavor. Since the orders are made to serve more than 1 it's a perfect spot to eat with friends/ family or even to have something to take for lunch the next day. Orange chicken is perfectly crispy. Noodles and rice are made extremely well. As well the milk tea boba is one of the best I have ever had. The servers are always so nice and friendly. This is a smaller restaurant so it's possible there isn't much seating but I would definitely wait for a table if I needed to.

    Pad thai lunch special
    Joann V.

    3.7 stars I'm torn. I ordered the pad thai lunch special which also came with rice and a side salad. On the one hand, I like that their lunch specials are a generous size, generous meat-to-noodle ratio, and comes with a drink. On the other hand, the flavor of the pad thai was dull, the white rice was a bit too dry, and not worth driving 20 minutes to pick up. So, here's my recommendation. If you have high blood pressure and need low sodium everything, the pad thai here is probably a good match for you. The portion of the lunch special is also big enough to be split into 2 meals unless you're a big eater. And if the pad thai is still too salty for you, I recommend mixing it with the white rice. Annnd I'm not joking b/c that is exactly how a family member of mine has to eat certain foods that are deemed too salty for his high blood pressure. Anyways.... I would definitely come back if I was in the area, but I probably will not be driving from home just to get the lunch specials here. If you work or live in Monterey Park, I think this is a very good low-key Thai restaurant to dine in or take out. And the fact that they're still in business means that they're doing a lot of things right and that I just happened to have picked something that might not be their star dish. Final verdict: middle-of-road, not bad, but not great. Will come back if in the area.

    Orange chicken is all skin there was no chicken whatsoever!

    I'm sadden! What was once my favorite go to Thai food place has gone down severely!! They were known for their Orange chicken, after Covid most if not all of their food items have been disappointing. Today I ordered an Orange chicken and rice entree the "Orange chicken" was nothing but skin dipped and fried in flour and drenched in orange sauce ! I called and of course the woman offered to make me a new plate but having to drive back and hunt for parking is not worth it . After 10 years of patronizing I do wish them the best but I have had enough bad experiences I don't think I can continue to support .

    Beef pad thai

    Unassuming Thai restaurant in a small plaza. It's become our go to for takeout. Really good size portions and lots of meat! We were pleasantly surprised with the portions and quality of food. Highly recommend for a nice meal!

    Chicken pad thai
    Jason W.

    The food meets expectations. I had chicken pad Thai. The noodles were good, the chicken fell a bit flat. The customer service is friendly enough with a casual ambiance. Overall it's an adequate option.

    Pad See Ew and Spicy Beef Salad
    Joe P.

    Service towards other customers including my self one is required to show your California ID when using your credit card. I wasn't expecting that requirement to purchase food. I stated I didn't have it on me and the 2 people behind the counter were very rude, making facial expressions and talking to them selves in their language. I told them I was sorry and the woman looked at me with distain. I was surprised to see her behavior while she mumbled in her language. She shouted out loud (as if I had done something bad) "Next time you bring ID." I replied "Next time I won't come here." Totally unnecessary to treat a customer in that manner. I don't understand the attitude and rudeness. On the other hand, the food is delicious, Fresh and well served. I hope they didn't do something to my food being they were upset.

    Told you. Large portion.

    My girlfriend and I were Hangry and looking for a spot to eat in the evening(9ish). Good thing this place was open until 10pm. My gf was skeptical because of its reviews. I , on the other hand, told her "let's give this place a chance and give our own review." Upon arriving , we were seated immediately. The service was great. We ordered tofu pad Thai and Tom kha soup. The food was tasty and came with large portions. My gf said "I would come back!" The price was good.

    Pork ribs
    M A.

    Highly recommend this place. Delicious food and fast service. There's a reason why it's packed with patrons. Highly recommend the pork ribs and orange chicken.

    Thai basil chicken
    Natalie T.

    Excellent food. Good quick service. This was from the restaurant itself not from the express place across the street. They said they were the same owners. I've been to the express, and the food is just as delicious

    Good tasting food

I was craving for some fried bananas so I dropped in to get some. 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.
