Walked in on a Saturday night, there were a handful of empty tables but the restaurant was a bit busy. Waited for about a minute or so before they could seat us, but they were able to take our order quickly. We got our usual favorite pan fried noodle dishes - chicken pad Thai & beef pad see ew. Food came out piping hot and they served a generous amount of noodles. Both noodles tasted like how it typically should. The pad see ew came out first, and it had that wok hay char taste. The noodles from the pad Thai could've been a tad less al dente, but taste was good. I could never replicate that balance of sweet, sour, salty at home. I'm surprised that after all this time, they still serve their sweet purple rice dessert. Pleasant experience overall. Tip: If you like some acid for your pad see ew, ask them for the pickled chili condiment. I use the vinegar-y liquid for that added element to the dish. Another tip: Lots of parking around, if you don't see any with the head in parking only, there are plenty of spots when you go underground. I'm sure there are more spots above ground as well. Just gotta circle up. read more

I've been here many times and the foods never disappoint. I've tried their lunch specials and it was delicious and very filling. It's a nice and quiet place to have a meal and talk for a bit. The quality of service I've received from this place is excellent and exceptional. Compared to other restaurants, most employees are rude but not at this place. They go above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of. read more

Thai Paradise - Yellow Curry - Thai Near Me - Monterey Park, California

I want to update my review to 3.5 stars because their complimentary soup was very salty. Even after I added water, it was still very salty. The BBQ chicken was so dry and chewy. I would not order that dish again. Pork ribs were flavorful but they only had a little meat. We were disappointed this time. Service was okay (last time was better). I hope the chef will improve the taste. read more

Food has gone downhill. My last two visits were meh. The pad Thai and pad see ew were bland and soggy. One waitress was wearing the same pairs of blue gloves the whole time...when she was cleaning the table, when she was serving the food, when she was giving dishware...gross... read more

From the moment we walked in, the service was quick, warm, and consistently attentive. We tried the fried calamari and the chili paste seafood combo with steamed rice, and every bite was outstanding. The portion sizes were impressive too , more than enough for two people. As a lovely surprise, they brought us complimentary Thai iced tea and treated us to a free dessert! We can't wait to return!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

Found this place randomly scrolling and decided it to give it a try. Upon arrival we were seated almost immediately. The inside decor was nice - gives me 90s to early 2000s family dining vibes. All in all the place was welcoming and nice! Our waiter was also super friendly and attentive. We ordered a Tom Yum Seafood soup and Pad Thai. Everything was delicious and fresh, I loved it so much we ordered another order to go. The portions were decent and prices were reasonable. By the end of our meal we were pretty full. I also enjoyed their complementary purple rice pudding. Everything was good! I'm looking forward to trying other dishes - highly recommend this place! (Didn't take more pictures - was to eager to just eat) read more

Thai Paradise - Tom Yum Seafood - Thai Near Me - Monterey Park, California

We had an excellent meal! This restaurant is in a funny stip-mall, but here is a super convenient parking area in back, and the restaurant is quiet and well appointed. Funny, all 3 of us got pad thai - veggie - chicken - pork. I can only speak for myself, but it was so very delicious that I want more!!! I'll be back for sure. Sadly I forgot to take photos. read more

A hidden gem! I'm not from around these parts but as soon as I walked in I could tell it was completely authentic Thai food. From the decor, to the seating, to the menus! Everything screamed original. Service was friendly, quick and efficient. I came with a party of 3 and business was slow so we were seated right away. There's a lot to choose from - a little bit for everyone. We decided on the spring rolls to start with, nice crunch but could have came out a little warmer. Dipping plum sauce is a must. We got the pot of Tom Ka (spicy coconut shrimp soup.) hold the spice and only add shrimp. FLAVORFUL AF. You can never really go wrong with this one - it's a classic and guaranteed to keep your tastebuds happy. Coconut comes through nicely, it's warm, and you can ask for the chili on the side to adjust the spice level. We shared a plate of pad thai and was also a hit. Not too oily, noodles are bouncy - sweet but savory. Overall I had a great experience and wish I lived closer! read more

This Monterey Park location is definitely better than their Alhambra counterpart. But I would say it's very mid when it comes to their pad Thai fried rices or papaya salad. I would definitely choose other Thai places but when I'm lazy and want Thai food faster it's this place. read more

A very generous 3 stars at best Arrived on Sunday and ordered the following: 1, Tom yum gong: meh, indistinguishable from the Tom yum from over dozen other Thai place in the 5 mile radius 2: Ong Choy: Good! Had that wok heat flavor and perfectly seasoned. 3. pad see ew w tofu: descent. Noodle was not clumpy and the egg enhanced the flavor and texture. 4. Crab fried rice: DO NOT get it! Absolutely one of the worst crab fried rice I had in a long time. It's obvious they used cheap can snow crab. The pieces of the dry crab you do taste were overcooked and overwhelmingly fishy. Worst was the salt! By god the rice was so salty you might as well rinse your mouth w sea water!! Not sure if the chef was at the end of the shift and had dozed off on that last dish but it was huge let down giving the fact crab fried rice is a quintessential traditional Thai stable. Bottom line, how this place could be rated 4.5 stars is proof the MP is wasteland for any food other than Chinese. read more

Thai Paradise - Crab Fried Rice. Horrible! Toxically salty w dry fishy and presumably canned snow crab. - Thai Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Local favorite! The food is always good and fresh with friendly service. Love their lunch special- soup, 2 fried wontons, rice, main course, and sweet red bean dessert for about $13; just a little bit higher than a fast-food restaurant combo but you get all freshly made healthy food! Noticed there has been a price increase in the past few months, but it is covid time, and its very difficult for family-owned restaurants to keep running, please do support local and dine local!! read more

I don't know how many Thai Paradise I know or heard of, only been here once seems like its been forever it was all ok and good went during a early dinner so service was great! food was not memorable but still did the job love how its a neighborhood spot need to go again for another review with more people see you soon! read more

I decided to order some Thai food with a delivery app. I settled on Kuay Kua with extra noodles and some durian sticky rice for dessert. Once the food arrived, I noticed quality containers were used so the food could arrive warm or hot, which is always appreciated. The Kuay Kua was flavorful with tender pork, and a healthy mix of vegetables as well. This dish with the extra noodles was enough for two people to share and eat their fill! The durian sticky rice was also a great treat! So much durian was included for the price, though it wasn't as pungent as durian can be. The rice was also loaded with coconut milk and syrup so that it was extremely flavorful! Overall, I was very happy with both dishes, and will be buying more when I get Thai food! read more

5 stars for delicious food and friendly service! We came on a Wednesday night and was seated immediately. Service was great and food came out fast which was appreciated because we had a hangry toddler on our hands. We also tried their Thai tea and it was delicious. Sometimes it can taste watered down but their Thai tea did not and was refreshing. We had a little issue with our Lardna and our server apologized and brought us a new plate. No big deal. Prices are also not outrages here compared to other places. Looking forward to being back soon! read more

Came during lunch, plenty of parking at the back, and no waiting to get a table. Food is more on the sour side. Pad thai is more sweet compare to most other places I have eaten. Clam is very flavorful. Red curry with pineapple is more on the sour spicy side, not as sweet creamy spicy. Bbq meet is good. read more

Delicious Thai omelette, papaya salad, pad Thai, pad see ew, mango sticky rice. The tom yum soup was slightly too sweet. Still a great meal overall and will be back when we are in town. read more

Firstly, I would like to say that the service was good. They made sure to keep our glasses full and checked up often. I ordered the spicy minced chicken lunch special, and it comes with soup, rice, and wonton crisps. The medium spice level was the percentage amount of spice for me, given that I am not the best at spicy food. It's a good, wholesome lunch. read more

Thai Paradise is awesome. Great place for lunch with a pretty big lunch special menu. From what I can tell it's 7 days a week including weekends. We got the pad Thai and basil chicken with a skewers plate as an app. The pad Thai was my favorite. Tasty. Seasoned. The service was great. The entire staff is friendly and there are plenty of tables. Parking is fine with a multi level parking structure behind the restaurant. Overall: Will return for some Thai food. read more

Get the lunch special! Soup or salad, rice, fried wontons, and a sticky rice dessert, in addition to the main!

Very poor take out experience. Not once but TWICE they messed up my order. I order seafood papaya salad. Paid over $20 for it. Took it home to find out salad was plain. Not a single piece of seafoods. Make sure you check your orders before walking out. I live a little far away and the food was for my wife whom doesn't get it until later in the evening. Imaging paying over $20 for a small container of papaya and nothing else. read more

Great food and service! Portions are family style and good for a family of 4. Beef salad, pork jerky are two of my favorites. Everything we have tried has been so tasty. read more

I'm not really sure why the reviews here are so good. The food here is really not very good at all. I got naked shrimp, Tom kha with shrimp, papaya salad, pork jerky, and fried fish fillet with apple sauce to go. It was $96 without tip. The lady at the counter and the lady who took my phone call order were very nice and helpful, but they did forget the extra chili I asked for on the side. The spicy scale is not really that spicy. I got a 2 because medium was 3, but tasted no spice at all. Perhaps something was wrong with todays shrimp, but the naked shrimp and the shrimp in the soup tasted rotten. I literally could not eat it. The papaya salad and fish fillet were decent, but lacking the strong flavors that they usually have. The pork jerky was burnt and really dry and chewy and the sauce was also lacking flavor. read more

Had dinner here with no expectations, it was walking distance from our hotel. Wow! The food was fantastic, with desert being a nice surprise.

I've been eyeing this place for quite some time and finally got a chance to stop by during lunch! They have lunch combo specials as well as a regular menu that's available. I'm also a huge proponent of photos on the menu, which makes it incredibly helpful to order new things. We ordered 3 dishes, all of which i had not ordered before from other Thai places, all of which were delicious, filling, and from my point of view authentically Thai. I don't have the exact titles of the dishes but there are photos! Lunch combos come with either a soup or salad. We opted for soup which was like a mini Tom Kha. Thai Paradise Beef -- love the green sauce, the meat was tender and seasoned well. Add some of those thai chili peppers on top -- yum! The lunch combo comes with 2 crab rangoons too, but the frying must have deflated them too much - minimal filling in there. Khao Soy Noodle Soup -- Coconut-y, creamy, and bouncy thick noodles that grabbed onto the broth. The shrimps were cooked perfectly and large in size as well. Would order this again! Glass noodle stir fry with shrimp - another solid dish that brought a different flavor to our meal. It was more 'smokey' in the sense of bring stir-friend, the shrimp has the skin on there were veggies in there that gave it a nice crunch. At the end of the meal we were given from Thai tapioca mungbean pudding which strongly resembles cha in Vietnamese desserts. A small bowl goes a long was and was a great finisher to the meal! For 2, we overstuffed ourselves and still had plenty of leftovers! read more

I made a reservation with a large party on Saturday and they were very accommodating. We were greeted by the friendly staff and seated earlier than our reserved time. We put in our orders and it came out at a decent rate. Food was good and everyone did enjoy their meals. Only downside is that the soup hotpot dishes don't come with rice, so you'd have to place an order of rice separately. Everything is reasonably priced with other Thai restaurants. read more

Went here during lunch on Thursday this week and the waitress was very nice. She kept checking in on us and constantly refilled our water. We ordered the papaya salad, tofu pad thai, chicken pad see ew, and a yellow curry with beef! Everything was really good but the pad thai was definitely the star of the show. Since we went during lunch, they also offered us a free dessert that was really delicious! read more

We ordered the pad Thai with chicken, the pineapple duck curry mild spice, calamari, and the mango sticky rice. The pad Thai was classic tasting with the perfect amount of sweetest but the duck curry stole the show. The nice juicy sweet and flavorful sauce of the curry made every bite worth it. The calamari was okay it is why I'm giving it a 4 stars and not a 5. It could've use some lemon and more of memorable sauce. The sticky mango rice though was excellent. It was the reason I wanted to come here in the first place. The staff was nice and attentive. The feel of the restaurant was giving authentic Thai and chill. read more

The food was solid as well as the customer service... it was just me in the restaurant so it was very quiet. What threw me off was seeing the chef go into the restroom and I hear them flush and they just run out. I'm pretty positive they didn't wash their hands. I don't plan on coming back just because of that. read more

Stopped by for lunch on a Saturday and was seated immediately. To my surprise, they had lunch special on the weekend as well! I ordered the yellow curry lunch special, which came with a complimentary soup and dessert! The soup was a very light version of a tom yum soup and the dessert was some sort of purple rice dessert (with hints of corn pieces lol). The dessert sounds weird but tasted really good! I just didn't opt to eat the corn pieces. The curry, however, was just okay. The potatoes had that taste when something starts to go bad and starts to taste funky. I ended up just just eating everything else and around the potatoes. For the price, it's a really great deal! Unfortunately, the quality was not there for me. read more

Panang curry - this was good! The curry flavor was very nice and there is a good amount of vegetables to meat ratio. Only thing is it doesn't come with rice so you have to order it on the side... not sure if people eat just curry alone Drunken noodles - this was also very tasty. It did have a lot of vegetables though, a little too much bell peppers that I wish was a little cooked more. Portion size for both were pretty big. We decided to come after a bad takeout experience a few months ago and I think it was better. read more

I was not actually planning to have my lunch here. Since the other restaurant closed near by, I tried this after checking reviews. They gave lunch specials on weekend as well, which is not a case at many Thai restaurants. Lunch specials comes with a cup of soup, a small fried crispy chicken wonton and rice. I orders spicy chicken and red curry from lunch special and chicken satay. Chicken satay was good. It came with small salad, peanut sauce and sweet pickled cucumbers. The soup was flavorful. Wonton was like crispy wafer with tiny bit of minced chicken, comes with sauce. The spicy chicken was delicious and comes with a cup of rice. The red curry was ok, it has more turmeric and no flavor at all. At the end they give a red bean with rice dessert along with the check. It was sweet surprise and excellent way to end a meal. They have parking on street and at the back. Food: 3.5 Service: 4 Ambiance: 3.5 read more

No wonder Thai Paradise has such a high overall rating! I was seated promptly on a Tuesday night and the waiter was attentive throughout the meal. The pad Thai was great, though it wasn't served with lime wedges. Upon asking for them, he brought us a small bowl of lemon juice. The tomyum noodle soup was spectacular. I'm a tomyum fiend and am happy to report that it was one of the best tomyum soups I've had in LA. It had just the right balance of tart to salt and lots of aromatics. I can't wait to come visit again! read more
