    Chicken & Rice (S1)
    James C.

    I've been coming here for 10+ years! This place is my go-to for local Thai food - delicious every time. Small parking lot but I usually go for lunch so it's actually not too crazy busy. They have big booths and great place for large groups or even for a table of one for a quick meal. Either way, you'll leave with a full tummy..and maybe leftovers because big portions haha. Enjoy!

    Always a solid meal coming to eat at Thai Original BBQ. We went right at opening on a Tuesday evening and the food came out piping hot and fresh. The go-to is always the S1 (Kai Yang) with their delicious in-house honey sauce. My daughter loved the S1's fried rice with shrimp that we had to order another plate of it. It was also our first time trying the fried tofu and it didn't disappoint! It was the right crispiness and softness in the interior. Our waitress was amazing! She kept checking on us and our kids. It's been years since we've been here and will be making part of our rotation again. Can't wait to come back! That Thai BBQ sauce is addicting!

    Been going here since high school. It's always consistent. Great food and huge portions. Haven't been back but I do crave it sometimes.

    Pork bbq spare rib shrimp fried rice

    I ordered the bbq pork spare rib with shrimp fried rice on Sep 14. It was so good. The ribs were mostly tender, some parts were tough. I loved the sauce that was included, I got to control the amount I poured. The shrimp fried rice was light and fluffy. Perfect with the bbq pork. I was full by the end of the meal. The server came back to refill our glasses of water which was appreciated. Ambiance was nice. A bit cozy, no music, just other customers talking in the background.

    We liked this place as a family with a child. The food was reasonably priced with good portions and quality. Parking was easy too! It's reliable Thai food for sure! I'd recommend it.

    Thai Original BBQ is a bookmark of my childhood. My friends and I frequented this place often as high schoolers whenever we had the money to eat out, we would certainly choose this restaurant. Fast forward 30 years and they still serve the same tasty dishes without fail. Service is EXCELLENT. Super quick and they bring out everything you need before you ask. Ambiance is family style. Can cater to larger parties for family gatherings or events. The Thai BBQ chicken meal comes with rice and that Thai BBQ yummy juicy chicken protein goodness. It comes with rice, but you can also get it a la carte. Get the SATAY it is flavorful juicy with a hint of roasted smoky flavor. Make sure to get extra dipping sauce. You won't regret this. Menu: Larb Neau Spicy. Ground beef cooked and mixed with dried chili, fresh chilies, lime juice, herb and spices. Topped off with mint leaves and served on a bed of fresh lettuce. Sounds just the way it's described. You can eat this with lettuce provided as an appetizer or order extra rice and make it a Thai Larb Neau bowl. We gobbled it up so no pics of this. Next time. After 30 years, it was just as good as we remembered.

    Bon appetite

    Authentic Thai restaurant in Glendale, CA. They have mostly vegetarian foods plus their bbq tastes good specially the chicken platter. Service is fast with friendly staffs. Nice, clean, family friendly restaurant discovered. Thank you Noli and Mareng Nene for the treat. Happy tummy.

The casual atmosphere out front and the lunch special banner lead us to believe we'd be having a cheaper dinner. We were ushered into a beautiful outdoor patio dining area, greeted by very friendly staff and supplied with carefully selected table settings. The environment was charming and relaxing. The menu was large and varied. We settled on a few things to try and wished we could have ordered more. The Greek salad was absolutely delicious. Everything was so fresh, the flavors were perfectly balanced. The chicken breast kabob plate was so generous in its portions, the chicken skewers were huge. The rice was wonderful as was everything else. We also got the egg boat to share and the bread was incredible. We definitely want to go back and try other wood fired items there. I'm sure the pizza is wonderful if it uses the same bread. Pricing on everything was very reasonable considering all the factors. I definitely got the impression that this is run with love by a family. They were friendly and kind, and their love of food showed in every bite. Their pride in their endeavor showed in all of the little touches in creating a nice atmosphere. We will be back

The pork BBQ was the best meat we had, followed closely by the lamb chops. The chicken breast was very good but lost out in a tough competition. We added Fries which are slices of potatoes, not French fries. They were not greasy and seasoned very nicely. And we had the Adjarian Khachapouri again, because we could not pass up this mouth watering delight. A sumptuous mix of bread, cheese , egg and spices. Add in a clean patio for dining, a friendly and attentive owner, and it is not to be missed.

I've been hesitant because it is in a trickier area, but I had no issues pulling in or parking! They have a few spots in the front, but otherwise I'm sure there is parking around the neighborhood. You walk inside to order and it is not a fancy looking place, but the people cooking the meat definitely know what they're doing!! It felt like an authentic Texas bbq spot. I didn't want the frills, I just wanted good food and that's what I got. I sat at a little table outside which was perfectly pleasant! The road wasn't too loud or anything. But really, the sandwich was SO good. I doused it in the spicy bbq and added the pickles and coleslaw and I ate the WHOLE thing. I shouldn't have. But it was great!! I want to come back and try their other bbq meats and sides!! I loved the pulled pork sandwich and would recommend sharing it if you do order it. Yum!! The service was great, too!!

    The accurate rain forecast changed our Sunday adventuring plans, but considering the food we were…read moregoing to get into, BBQ felt like a sensible substitute. We hadn't visited since February, 2020. Before the pandemic might as well have been 10 years ago, if the world shut down 6 years ago. We were overdue for a followup visit. Judging by how the food went down, we were sore for it. We ordered the Big Tex: four meats and four sides - tri-tip, brisket, pulled pork and links; kale greens, bbq beans, mac and cheese and fries. We opted for the cornbread in the roll slot. It should be the top meats in your order, by premium scale and availability, but more often than they should be, the brisket/tri-tip selections are, 90%, obligatory orders. I think I have a love/hate relationship with the way LA treats the pepperoni pizza of bbq meats. Swinging Door broke us off proper though. Not too fatty. Great tenderism. And the accompanying sauce complemented the smoked all stars, rather than compensated for lack of flavor. Didn't stop me from loving their Whiskey bbq sauce though. The beans were a true bbq side, swimming in a mild sauce and containing lovely chunks of link. And the kale greens - sheesh - I think they might've switched to kale since our first visit. An effective exercise in alternative ruffage that holds seasoning and jucies for a similar bbq/soulfoud bite. We live further away now. Took the food to go, to prevent the intermittent rain from foiling more of our plans. It traveled well. And since I'm using our leftover bbq sauce on every other meal I cook, I'd say we successfully made do with our lunch substitute.

This restaurant is an Armenian/Georgian/Eastern European style eatery. I was there yesterday around 4:15pm. As I was about to walk in, Gayane with a pleasant smile wanted to know if I wanted to eat in or order food to go. I told her I would like to sit on the patio, soak up the sun and the beautiful weather. She brought me a menu and looking at the menu which had a lot of entreés to choose from, I decided to go with their 5x Large Khinkali with ground beef that was topped and garnished with fresh cilantro & pomegranate. I also ordered 1x Large Blinchik (stuffed with Meat) & 1x large Chicken BBQ Wrap that came with a side of tomato sauce. The Chicken Wrap was toasted very well and inside were a lot of healthy vegetables: Mayo, Ketchup, Raw Onions, Pickles, Cilantro, Lettuce & tomato. All the fine dishes tasted divine, flavorful and very fresh!! I also wanted to try couple of their fruit juices and the Mikado dessert, but she told me they were out. It's ok, there will definitely be a next time because I am planning to return back next time I am in Glendale. For one person it was a lot of food. Total came out to be $57.38. Didn't make or break the bank. Was very content & happy with my dining experience!! Comfortable setting and had some left overs too.. Street parking only, bright BIG, clean gender neutral restroom and would like to thank Gayane, Evgenii, and Paapaiii BBQ for an outstanding/fantastic service!!:-))
