My husband and I spent a beautiful afternoon having lunch at Thaim. This new Thai restaurant is an excellent addition to the Pasadena food scene and serves delicious street food. I have to start my review by saying how absolutely wonderful the service is here. All of the staff are genuinely so kind and warm and just truly go above and beyond to take care of you during your visit. The overall environment is also super cozy and inviting. The food Thaim is serving is spectacular. We ordered a Thai tea slushy, Pad thai with fried tofu and Pad see ew with marinated chicken. We were blown away by everything we had. Both dishes stood out from the usual versions we typically get. The Pad thai was balanced and flavorful with a fresh tanginess, and the fried tofu added great texture and flavor without being too heavy or greasy. The Pad see ew had excellent smoky wok char, and the marinated chicken was tender, well-seasoned, and noticeably more flavorful than typical. These dishes were different in the best ways. I saw criticism that portions are small here, which I would agree that comparatively the portions are smaller than some other places, but the quality of ingredients is truly impressive here. I personally think smaller portions for quality is worth it. The Thai tea slushy was also very delicious. It was thicker than expected, almost like a milk shake, but it was very enjoyable. We really loved every part of our visit to Thaim and will certainly come back to try more! read more
