Amazing service ! His daughter is the sweetest she so beautifully gave amazing service to all the customers

My wife and I found this gem of a place for lunch and we were very surprised with the quality. We arrived shortly after their opening hours and there were already plenty of diners inside. Service is quick, and staff is friendly as well. We ordered their Pad Thai, Wonton Soup, and their Cream Cheese Rangoons to share. All 3 dishes came out at the same time, and wow the portions are pretty standard and fulfilling. Cream Cheese Rangoons are not something I try often but I was very impressed with the quality and size. Each bite was super crunchy and super flavorful with the cream cheese adding the softness, very impressed. Highly recommend, 9/10. The wonton soup (BBQ pork) was impressive. Although not like the standard ones, the portions are still pretty good. I was impressed with the flavoring as well. The broth wasn't too salty and the wontons were delicious. Highly recommend, 8.5/10. Star of the show is definitely the Pad Thai. A classic dish at any Thai establishment and this place is no different. We were very impressed with the portions and the mix of egg noodles along with the other ingredients. Very flavorful and definitely a signature of the restaurant. Must order menu item, 10/10. Overall, a wonderful restaurant with friendly and efficient staff. Interior is clean, spacious, and has plenty of tables. Very impressed with the food so my wife and I are definitely coming back another time to try other menu items. read more

I was craving Thai food and decided to give Bangkok Soul a try. We ordered the Boat Noodle, Pad Kee Mao, Crispy Miss Thainanese Chicken Rice, and Bangkok BBQ Rice. Overall, everything was delicious and flavorful! The Boat Noodle was a little too sweet for my taste, and even though I ordered it spicy, I could barely taste any heat. The Pad Kee Mao, on the other hand, had just the right amount of spiciness and was definitely a highlight for me. My sons loved both rice dishes. They were flavorful without being overly salty, which was a big plus. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and would consider coming back when we're craving Thai food again! read more

Great restaurant. We ordered crab fried rice, Thai boat noodles, pad Thai, yellow curry and string beans. Everything was packed with flavor, punchy, savory, sweet, not a single bland dish. It's a nice size, and we've had success calling ahead for reservations for family meals. The staff is kind, capable at making recommendations when prompted, and overall patient with little requests here and there (inevitable with a child). Food was served quickly, another plus with young families. read more

I'm happy to see another Thai spot in Alhambra. Portions are generous. So far I've been here 3 times and they are consistent. My fave is the pad see ew with pork. Staff is friendly and parking is plentiful. read more

Food was fresh, hot, and tasty. Service was attentive as could be during a Saturday afternoon lunch rush. Drinks menu is full of variety: I ordered a strawberry lychee soda that definitely highlighted the fruits. Next time I want to try their green Thai tea! Portions are filling and priced right; wish I had room for dessert (fried banana or mango sticky rice). Shrimp donuts are their number appetizer for a reason: crispy, juicy, salty and pairs well with their homemade sweet chili sauce on the side. Don't sleep on their pickled chili sauces on the table either. Very fast casual. Located in a strip mall at the edge of Alhambra. Plenty of parking. read more

Don't get me wrong...services here is very attentive and friendly! Unfortunately, Food is not so thrill at all I ordered 2- food item, and it cost me more than $40 for lunch for myself, it's so expansive dining out nowadays beyond my expectation! (See photos posted) 1）Crab Fried Rice: 1-star It's served w/a fried egg covered up the entire plate. I found nor tasted any crab meat as what's described on the menu Fried egg was burnt on the edge. The fried rice is bland w/no hot-wok fragrance smell... this simply just rice fried wa covered fried egg. No taste of crab or anything! For $22+tax+tips almost $30 for hell 2） Thai basil chili stir fried w/ground pork 2-star The worst Uve had Not spicy（asked for med spicy) , no basil taste rather only spotted few basil leaves but no flavors. Ground pork is sauted w/ too much sugar like a dessert dish! I wd not recommend this place. read more

Enjoyed a casual weekend lunch here with my husband. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and shown to our table. This restaurant has a more modern and contemporary atmosphere compared to a traditional Thai restaurant. I like how spacious and inviting the place felt. To start, we shared the Cream Cheese Rangoon appetizer. These are crunchy, creamy bites of imitation crab and cream cheese wrapped in wonton skin, served with a side of sweet chili dip. The tangy cream cheese tasted great combined with the crispy wonton skin. This is a great sharing dish. We also shared an order of the Wonton Soup BBQ Pork, a Cantonese-inspired soup dish with Thai touches. The portion for this seemed a bit small, with only 3 wontons total. It has a light chicken broth with hand-folded shrimp and chicken wontons, BBQ pork, napa cabbage, bokchoy, scallions, and fried garlic. Taste-wise, it was good. This is a solid choice if you want something light and aromatic. The star of our meal was definitely the Pad Thai. There are several protein options, including tofu, chicken, pork, and more. We decided to go with the pork. This dish is stir-fried rice noodles with egg, tofu, fresh bean sprouts, green onion, and crushed peanuts. It had the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, savory, and nutty flavors. The noodles were cooked perfectly and tasted super flavorful. I will definitely be coming back here whenever I am craving some yummy Thai food. The parking lot is shared with some other businesses and it seems that there are plenty of parking spots during most of the day. In addition to the onsite parking lot, there is nearby street parking if needed. read more

Came here with a group of friends. This restaurant is located in a big plaza that has a lot of parking. This place is not noise at all that we are able to chat. We were seated promptly. Our server was friendly and attentive. We ordered chicken wings, tom yum soup with shrimp, pad Thai, pad see ew, some rice dishes, and mango sticky rice. I love the pad Thai and pad see ew, they are very flavorful, and not too oily! I have not had good Thai food in the 626 area for a long time! I did not try their rice dishes. The to yum soup was not overly sour, and I can taste the freshness of the shrimp. The skin of the chicken wing is crispy, which is how I like it! Will be back again for more food. read more

Needed something tasty for lunch. Thai food sounded like a great idea and this place hit the spot. We phone in our order and grabbed it for to-go. Glad the staff asked if we wanted it as a lunch combo, worth! Crispy Fried Chicken (lunch special)- we chose green salad which is pretty standard with sesame dressing, there was a hint of ginger which I personally loved. The chicken was definitely crispy, juicy and flavorful; batter was light and airy. The rice was seasoned well and a good texture. Would come back for this dish again. Pad Thai wasn't bad but wasn't the best I've had either. Noodles were pretty mushy and soggy. I would prefer a bit of a bounce. read more

Went on a Friday evening around 6/6:30, waited probably 15 mins maybe a little longer to get seated. The place was packed and there were 3 parties ahead of us. Didn't feel too long bc the menus are on the door so it gave us time to figure out what we wanted. The selection is fantastic, there is a ton to choose from. The area was very clean despite being packed with people. The restrooms were also clean and well kept. Now the food - the food was DELICIOUS. I have tried a handful of the thai places and honestly I haven't had as great of an all around experience as we did here. The tofu was perfectly soft and crispy, the pad thai was a good balance sweet and savory. The plate was also huge!! I have so much leftovers. We split the green beans which was a nice portion for the 3 of us, and beware there is a good kick to the spicy ones! My friends got the chili basal and rad nah which they mentioned it was also very tasty. We all agreed we definitely need to return to try another dish as well! I also want to that our server was really great at recommending menu options. We also had a fish allergy in our group which they were accommodating with removing the fish sauce. They also accidentally made the green beans with the sauce as well but she came running out (literally) when she realized it was made with that (probably barely 30 seconds time had lapsed). Another nearby thai place was not like that and much less helpful about the allergy in our group. So overall we were very happy at the service, food, and experience. We are 100% going to return and bring more people. read more

I'm always a little skeptical about trying a new Thai place since most eateries I've gone to have been pretty average, but let me tell you! Bangkok Soul was absolutely delicious and far exceeded my expectations! We ordered the half and half chicken, the larb salad and the fried bomb appetizer plate and each dish was a 10/10 and made fresh. The Thai tea was okay, but I think it had too much milk and not enough flavor. Other than that, I can't wait to return and eat here again. read more

Their lunch special here is really good. It comes with soup, a side appetizer entree, and a drink. We ordered a variety of items each time we stop by. From the shrimp pad Thai, beef pad see ew, chicken pad kee mao, ground chicken Thai basil, Thaihanese chicken, and crispy pork. Our favorite item is their shrimp donut which is not part of the lunch special. Their daikon soup is flavorful. Their Thai tea and chrysanthemum tea are tasty. Service is quick and nice. They took over the old Ten Ren location. Located in the same plaza as Smart and Final. read more

Trying this place the very first time, and for sure it won't be the last. The food here are amazingly good, the donut shrimp are for sure a must try. The deep fried fish with bone on the side is so crispy and soft, the dipping sauce is little bit spicy but really good! Fresh coconut water will always be my first choice, and their Thai green milk tea is not overly sweet at all! Love it. The servers are so friendly and knowledgeable with all dishes. The restaurant is very clean and nice decorated. Will definitely come back soon again to try other dishes. read more

We wanted to get some Thai food and saw that this place has good reviews. We ordered the Pad Thai ($16) and Pad See You ($16). They definitely give you a lot of food. We had enough left over to make a second meal for both of us the next day. I really liked both plates. I usually go for pad see ew when I go to Thai places but the pad thai here is also really good! I was looking around and a lot of people also got the chicken satay and papaya salad, so maybe I'll try those out next time too. I would say that the appetizers seem a bit pricey considering they're about the same price as the main dishes, which kind of defeats the purpose of being an appetizer. A lot of items looked good on the menu though and I wish I could try them all. I do see that they also have a lunch menu on the weekdays, so hopefully if I make it in time I'll be able to try some more items from their menu through that. read more

The restaurant environment was wonderfully refreshing, with decor and food from the far east and places in between. The front desk is run profoundly well, with a nice smile, question on what utensils are needed and whether we wanted to try Thai hot sauce. Although I had a takeout order, I noticed that the restaurant was packed; a good sign this restaurant is already popular with the local community and word has gotten out that the food is great. For takeout, my bag filled with food must have weighed about five pounds, which is heavier than most takeout I bring home for the same size party. read more

I Just found my new go to Thai spot and I'm kind of obsessed. It's a pretty big space right across from Kopan, but still feels warm and welcoming. We ordered a bunch to share such as the chicken curry, drunken noodles with beef, pad Thai with shrimp, and the crispy garlic wings (so good). And the strawberry lychee soda? Super refreshing and honestly a must. The vibe is cute and modern, service was attentive, and everything is reasonably priced. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to. If you are in the area, you should check out too. read more

I like how tbe lunch special comes with a drink and a side. The soul boat noodle was on the sweeter side and the meat kinda tasted like beef jerky. Couldve been boiling for too long. But its okay. I liked the meat or fish balls that it came with though. It was soft and went well with the sweet broth. For to go orders, there is a divider so that the noodles wont get soggy from the soup, which is always nice for noodle soups. Their thai tea was 80% milk so i felt like i was drinking iced milk. I got the curry croquette and its pretty good. Small but it might be because it was part of the lunch special. They also almost forgot my drink until i opened the bag and it was missing. Had to ask them for it. Maybe thats why the thai tea tasted mostly of milk. They probably rushed it. I would come back to trh other items though. read more

This place is delicious! The kitchen definitely knows what they are doing! The flavor of all the dishes is fantastic and actually has a lot of authentic seasoning and depth. Rib eye and the sauce was tangy, savory, and sour. The pad Thai was perfect for my girl - very sweet. The half leg house special was the star of the show. Great mix of fatty pork and lean meat, along with really amazing bitter greens and natural juices. The sauce that came with it was incredible. Papaya salad was sweet and had a generous amount of peanuts. The pork jerky wasn't tough or chewy at all. It melted in your mouth. The crab rangoon were decent and the salt and pepper shrimp were REALLY good. Loved the sauce on the outside so much that I may have accidentally eaten a few shells! Service was friendly. We had a big party but they were accommodating and polite. Ambiance was very informal but I didn't mind that. Casual and simple seating. read more

We always come and I always forget to post. This place is delicious and always consistent. We come alone, we come with friends, we come with big groups and it's always that place. The food is perfect and the staff is just as great. They're so attentive and so sweet that it makes everything memorable and enjoyable. Sometimes you go to places and food is good and service sucks or vice versa but here everything is exactly what it should be and it's one of my favorite places. read more

I've been seeing this place all over my IG and Tik tok so I wanted to check it out! The restaurant is smaller than I expected but the decor was so nice and welcoming. The service was also pretty standard. We ordered: Pad Thai 6.5/10: on the sweeter side and was full of sauce. The noodles were bouncy how I like it but overall a bit too much of the marination for me. Pad see ew 8/10: this dish was also packed w flavor. I got the dish with beef and it wasn't chewy but my dad got 2 pieces that he had to spit out bc it was too chewy. Super savory dish also packed with flavor. It had that amazing wok smell too. Pineapple fried rice 7/10: pretty standard and can't go wrong. Curry flavored notes and not too oily. Tom kha soup pot 7/10: very coconutty and good flavor but a bit too salty. Fire catfish 8/10: I liked the way it was fried. Great crisp. There wasn't too much bone. Chinese broccoli with crispy pork 9/10: pork was flavorful a bit salty but the rice balanced it out. The pork was crispy on the outside and the meaty part was soft. Overall I think a lot of the food was packed with flavor but maybe a bit too salty for some people. read more

First bite at the Crab Fried Rice was pretty amazing! Though, missing a squeeze of lime, this place gives you seafood sauce instead. The sauce itself is very tasty and it made a big difference to the fried rice overall. Pad Thai was way too sour and way too wet. I also much prefer when chives are used for pad thai like an authentic Thai dish, rather than green onions. Their pad thai came with green onions. Other than that, they have great deals for lunch specials and the service was lovely. I'm glad that there is another nice Thai food popping ip here in Alhambra. Looking forward to try other dishes! read more

There's a public plaza lot to get here. They have plenty of seating but it can get packed that you'll have to wait outside. While it gets packed, the volume level is decent. The inside is a fun casual vibe. The staff are nice and helpful. I got the chicken pad Thai. It pretty good. Not too saucey. It was hot and steamy. The Thai green tea latte was okay. It was too sweet and simple. But it's not a dedicated tea place so it's not the worst. I'd like to return because they had loads on their menu I want to try! read more

Solid! Came here after bookmarking on Yelp! I had read good things on a San Gabriel Eats page recommending Bangkok Soul. We walked in and the place was packed at 1:30 on a Sunday afternoon. Fortunately we were able to be seated immediately and even though our server said they were short staffed and there may be a wait, our order and food arrived very quickly. We can for the Pad See Eww, but we're intrigued by a donut and gravy dish. Turns out it's a savory shrimp donut that we will definitely come back to try. The green curry we ordered medium spicy and it has a nice robust flavor with large pieces of tender eggplant. We brought some home to use as a base for dinner tonight. Easy free parking. When we left there was still a line for tables. read more

I absolutely loved their shrimp pad see ew and crispy chicken rice! The pad see ew was deliciously savory and mildly sweet, and the tender shrimp & crunchy greens were tasty. The rice and chicken were perfectly crispy. The chicken was also so juicy & flavorful, and the sweet sauce that came with the order was the perfect addition. Unpictured, but our order came with a side of soup, which was pretty yummy too! This was my first time trying Bangkok Soul, and I will definitely be back to dine in :) read more

Service was friendly and food came out fast. Seating for 2 was very easy on a sunday lunch. However the 2 entrees came first, and crab rangoon appetizer came out pretty late into the meal which we laughed off. Interior was clean. The pork leg signature was beautifully braised and tender, and sauce was perfect with the rice. Veggies are not marinated or pickled. Crab Rangoon was crispy and fresh tasting The pad thai was not stand out. The sauce was distributed unevenly so one bite was salty, next was not. So be sure to mix it up well yourself. This is one of the more saucy and salty/sour pad thais i've had, not sure if its normal but im sure it suits someones tastes, but not so much mine. The noodles used have a deeper chew and bounce than what I'm used to. read more

Overall a good experience. Service was friendly and quick. Food was good. I wouldn't say it's the best Thai food I've ever had but it was good. What we ordered: - crab fried rice: good, could use more crab though - boss leg: very tender but oily - fire catfish: loved the flavor! One of the better dishes but the fish had a lot of bones in it and wasn't as meaty as I'd hoped -pad thai: good, could be a little saucier -eggplant: good, lacked in flavor a little bit -Longyan herbal tea :this was delicious, not too sweet -Thai ice tea: too sweet and light in color read more

We had papaya salad, pork dish (recommended by staff), half and half chicken dish then coconut ice cream. They ALL good, we finished everything! Didn't try their drinks because I try to avoid sugar.

The restaurant it's self is nice. Food was really good upon opening. Have experienced a couple rude staff and cell phone camping employees. Sent my nephew in to pick up as an experiment he said "vibe was off, had to flag staff down that were sitting. Oh and kinda rude" he brought the food over to a park. We were chilling at. Opened up the to go bag and no utensils. Think this is my last attempt Thai purple is way better read more

This was unfortunately the worst Thai restaurant I been to because not only was the food awful but so was the service! This is a small Thai spot located in a busy plaza so parking can be difficult especially on the weekends. They're open daily 11am-3pm & 4pm-9pm (Except Sat - 11am-3pm & 5pm-9pm) There is lunch special on weekdays 11am-3pm and it comes with a dish, side, soup, and drink for $15.95! I went on New Year's Eve and that was considered a "holiday" so unfortunately, there was no lunch special. Menu had a good variety of dishes and most of the dishes were less than $20. Inside was small with not too much seating. Service was not welcoming, attentive, or friendly. It wasn't even busy when I arrived and I was not greeted by the staff so I just took a seat on a table of my choice. Waited a few minutes before finally being acknowledged and given a menu. I had a hard time deciding what to order and I didn't appreciate being asked every 5 minutes by the staff if I was ready yet. I think she must have asked me at least 3+ times and it wasn't even busy yet. The Pad Thai ($16) tasted so terrible and definitely didn't taste authentic. It didn't have any pan fried taste and the sauce was so sour/tangy that it tasted like lemon noodles. It honestly tasted like frozen/microwaved food and it was unfortunately one of the worst Pad Thai I've ever had so this was 3/10. The Yellow Curry ($15) didn't come with rice or protein so I had to add +$1 for chicken and +$2.75 for jasmine rice. This was the worst curry I have ever had. It was so watery that it seemed more like a watered down soup than curry. It was so bland and hardly had any ingredients - potatoes, carrots, onions, and chicken. The chicken seemed overcooked and flavorless. This dish was 3/10 When it came to paying for the bill, I waited at least 10+ minutes and was never paid attention to. The server walked past my table several times and every time I tried to make eye contact with her, she would ignore me. I got so frustrated that I went up to the cashier and just gave her the money. She got agitated with me and told me to wait. I understand it was busy and they were understaffed but honestly, the service was poor even before they got busy. Overall, I was extremely disappointed with the food and the service so I will certainly not return or recommend. read more

Recommended by my cousin's friend. I would say this is a typical Thai food restaurant. They have all the usual thai food dishes. We ordered 3 dishes to share among 4 of us.

Bangkok Soul is a new popular Thai restaurant in Alhambra.

This is one of the few spots in the SGV that has khao soi. When they first opened I was dying it try it since they had this dish. They took over the old Ten Rens location and has ample parking. The servers were attentive each of my visits and would check up on us frequently. The khảo sôi was flavorful and noodles had a nice chew to it. I usually get it with crispy chicken added and the crispy chicken soaks up the sauce. I feel like their noodle soup dish's excel here over their pan fried dishes but you can't go wrong ordering anything here. Great for lunch, dinner or even togo. Just don't leave the noodles in the container for too long otherwise the heat will cook it longer. read more

Found this new gem tucked away in the same plaza as the Smart & Final on Valley. Bangkok Soul has a cool, modern vibe with neon signs and TVs, definitely a nice spot for a casual dinner. We stopped by on a weekday and it wasn't too crowded, so the service was super attentive and the food came out fast. Here's the breakdown of what we grabbed: * Chicken Satay: The absolute highlight. The meat was actually tender (not dry like some places) and the peanut sauce was packed with flavor. Very authentic. * Tom Yum: Solid, classic flavors with just the right amount of kick. * Pad See Ew: Really well-executed and satisfying. I would say everything tasted fresh and authentic. If you're in Alhambra and looking for a quick, quality Thai meal without a massive wait, this place is definitely worth a visit! read more
