    Green Curry
    Brian H.

    I tried the green curry. It was excellent. So good. It's definitely homemade. Flavor is great. Lots of chicken and veggies inside. Really nice ambiance and atmosphere inside. Service is good. Nice server. Seems like they do a lot of phone orders. I'll be back to try other curries.

    Been coming here for quite some time now, around 2 years and the food has always been really great. The papaya salad is some of the best in this area so you def need to try it. I ordered the yellow curry tonight with chicken and it was super tasty and the portion was big as well. The squid salad was very tangy and had great flavor. I love how they use a lot of sauce for their salads with intense flavor. Waitress also sanitized seating after other customers left. Will keep coming back to this place.

    Pad Thai Noodles

    Still trying to maintain their low price for lunch or dinner. Good Thai food..welcoming customer service. Just hope they hold onto the price despite everybody is going up. Best price in town!

    Thai Boat Noodle Soup
    Jessica Y.

    The restaurant is located inside a plaza so lots of parking. I tried the vegetable egg rolls, pineapple fried rice, boat noodle soup and deluxe noodle soup. I think it's so great they offer egg rolls in both vegetable and chicken. Personally I prefer vegetable egg rolls. All the dishes ordered were well made and delicious! Ordered takeout. Easy and fast service.

    Definately 2 thumbs up!

    I have been living in Arcadia for about 13 years. I have passed by millions of times, and HAVE never stopped to eat here. My family and I LOVE Thai Food (specifically Spicy Basil w/ground Chicken). We usually drive out to East LA at one of our favorite spots. I think I will save myself a trip and continue to come here. The dish I got was ABSOLUTELY delish and they prepared it EXACTLY how I asked. Mild with ground chicken. Thank you Basil Thai Cooking for making my 1st experience here pleasant. If anyone is looking for Thai food, this place is a must try and the prices are reasonable.

    MANGO STICKY RICE
    Stephanie C.

    Got the usual suspects, Pad Thai with Tofu, Pad See Ew with Beef, Chicken Larb, and mango sticky rice. This place is cheaper than other Thai restaurants in the surrounding area. You get a little less, but you can tell the food is made with LOVE! DELICIOUS! You can actually taste the authenticity, not just some fast food take out. The best dish of the four, is the mango sticky rice! Mango was ripe and sweet and the rice and sauce is STICKY and SAUCY! Just the way I like it. When I go to new Thai places, I always go by how they make the Pad Thai and Pad See Ew. I need to go back and try other things!

    Thai Thyme - Inside the veggie curry puffs - so good!

    Thai Thyme

    (410 reviews)

    $$

    Summary: 5 stars for taste, portion, price, and service…read more *** My fiance and I visited a few times for lunch and dinner. The restaurant is brightly lit inside and usually plays classy/cozy music overhead. Service is outstanding; they are typically prompt, proactive, and friendly with water refills on point. The owner occasionally checks in on tables, banters with regulars, and talks about his recipes. They sometimes provide complimentary desserts to first-time visitors (I assume if budget allows). Food also comes out quickly. DRINKS ORDERED - Thai Iced Tea ($4.50). Served in a huge glass, the Thai tea is strong, sweet, and creamy. APPETIZERS ORDERED - Sunshine Beef Jerky ($16.95). Sooo tasty! The beef was slightly crispy and dried out, yet soft inside. The marinade was aromatic with a hint of sourness. - Chicken Satay ($15.95 - 6 pcs). Soft and juicy white meat chicken with a mild marinade that was vaguely sweet and fragrant. The peanut dipping sauce was out of this world - very peanut forward and also a little sweet. I put it on everything and even asked for a to go container for the rest! I would have liked the pickled cucumber and onion to be less sweet. - Somtom / Green Papaya Salad ($11.96 + $5 shrimp add on). We asked for spicy level 2, which made my nose run. Green papaya, green beans, carrots, peanuts, and tomato sit on top of roughly chopped iceberg lettuce. The chili lime dressing tasted spicy, sweet, salty, and sour. The shrimp was also good, juicy and plump. I only had difficulty eating the green beans, which were hard and raw. - Chicken Larb ($16.95). This dish was served as a salad instead of a wrap. It had big pieces of ground chicken on top of iceberg lettuce in a flavorful, slightly funky sauce. We got this at level 2 spicy. ENTREES/NOODLES ORDERED - Basil Eggplant with chicken thigh ($14.95). Bright purple egg plant and bell peppers stir fried with fragrant basil in a savory sauce. So good! - Pad Kee Mao / Drunken Noodles with pork ($14.95). This was a stir fry of thick rice noodle, onion, bell pepper, basil, and protein of choice. The pork was yummy with a slightly sweet taste. I liked how the vegetables were tender yet crunchy. I ordered this at level 2 spicy, but I think I could handle level 3 for noodles. - Pad Thai with tofu ($14.95). I enjoyed the chewy, thin rice noodle tossed in a sweet and sour sauce. DESSERTS ORDERED - T-Cup Coconut Cream Cake ($6.99). We received this cake in a cup as a complimentary dessert. It tasted like a dream! There were two layers each of white cake and coconut whipped cream. The sponge had a light and cottony crumb. Shredded coconut added an extra layer of texture and coconut flavor. - Mango Sticky Rice ($13.95 - seasonal Apr to Sept). I think we ordered too early in the season, since the mango was ripe but not as fragrant. The sticky rice was sweet and salty with a fluffy and chewy texture. The dish was good, but a little dry for me since it didn't come with a sauce. - T-Cup Mango Pudding ($6.99). This was also complimentary. I thought it was just okay at first, but the pudding grew on me the more I ate it. The mango pudding tasted nostalgic, like the one you get at dim sum but more real. According to the owner, the pudding is vegan, naturally sweetened, and thickened with agar agar.

Ty was super helpful and kept everything moving smoothly, which made a big difference with the crowd. Service was friendly, quick, and on point. The food absolutely delivered fresh, flavorful, and held up really well even as takeout. I went mild spice and it was perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of heat without overpowering the dish. Overall, a solid go-to, especially during busy events. Great service, great food, and a seamless takeout experience when it could've easily gone the other way. A+

They also have the cutest little basket with hot sauces. Yesterday we had Tom Yum soup -- and that is truly the top dish on their menu.

Went for an early dinner with my bf. Was greeted so warmly by the staff and seated promptly. We wanted to order some of our typical dishes so we can compare, so we got their Baby Corn Mushroom with Chicken, Green Curry with Sole Filet, and Thai Style Basil Ground Pork with Fried Egg. OMG! They were all gloriously drool-worthily divine!! Likely the most flavorful of these dishes that I've ever tried at a Thai restaurant to date! Completely exceeded all my expectations!! And the portions were so generous! We were so occupied stuffing ourselves silly, that we completely forgot to make room for dessert! And we still had a ton of leftovers to take home! I love this place so much already! Super friendly and attentive staff. Gorgeous decor with an appreciative traditional feel. Limited parking in lot, but it looks like the regulars prefer parking on the street out front when we were leaving. Already planning to return next time our Thai craving hits to try more of their yummy dishes! Highly recommend!!

You can feel how much care goes into everything, from the beautiful presentation to the hand-drawn flowers on the takeout boxes, which are such a sweet, thoughtful touch. And the staff are SO NICE. They are welcoming, kind, and clearly passionate about what they do. It's one of those places where the experience is just as good as the food, and that's saying a lot because the food is outstanding. If you're vegan, vegetarian, or just love incredible food made with intention, this place is a must. Highly recommend.

    5/5, always a hit and never misses!…read more I'm not sure what took me so long to write a review for White Springs, given I've dined here at least a dozen times over the years. Ever since it opened, White Springs has become a neighborhood staple, with many being regulars that stop by frequently. The food: My favorite menu item is the Tom Yum Noodle Soup where I substitute the vegan shrimp balls for tofu instead, at an extra mild spice level. It's my comfort food, for when days feel extra rough and I want a noodle soup that feels like a warm hug. My favorite appetizers are definitely the Chicken Satay (the texture is fantastic) and Spring Rolls. Over the years, I've also been able to try some of their curries, Roti, Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Orange Chicken, among others. But the Tom Yum Noodle Soup is definitely my go to menu item that I'll consistently crave. Everything is always cooked with such care and is super flavorful, but still feels light and not overwhelmingly greasy. Everything else: Service is kind and I've always felt more than welcomed. During their busy hours, there might be a little of a wait, so I would advise some patience as everything is made fresh. They mostly do to go orders, so do not be deceived if there's no other folks dining with you! At this point in time, they do not have indoor dining, and have a couple tables set up outside, so it might not be suitable for a huge dinner party, if you do not provide them ample notice. Parking is plentiful on the street or behind the storefront in the lot behind.
