The papaya salad was perfectly balanced--not too sweet and not too sour. The Tom Yum soup was incredible. My husband usually doesn't eat soup, but he loved it and kept commenting on how flavorful it was. The fried rice was also excellent, and the lunch special was a great value for the price. On top of the amazing food, the customer service was outstanding. Everyone was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. We will definitely be coming back. I can't wait to try more dishes from the menu. Highly recommend!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!…read more I was honestly so impressed. To be fair, I haven't been to many Thai restaurants that I didn't enjoy, but this place really stood out. The quality of the meat was excellent, and every dish was packed with flavor. The service was calm, friendly, and attentive. I was actually surprised by how quiet it was because the food deserves a much bigger crowd. What really blew me away was the portion size for the price. The servings were huge and such a great value. We had enough food to easily feed 5-6 people, and the bill was still incredibly reasonable. I'll definitely be coming back!

From the street, the curb appeal doesn't exactly grab your attention since the restaurant sits sideways to the road. But once you pull in and walk inside, it's a pleasant surprise! Nice atmosphere, spacious dining room, and a welcoming feel. We arrived early and were greeted by a very friendly woman who made us feel right at home. She was gracious, attentive, and never made us feel rushed. We started with the stuffed chicken wings appetizer, which came with two pieces. They had a nice crispiness and were pretty good, although I would have liked a little more punch in the seasoning. I tend to enjoy Thai food with some bold spice, and these were a bit on the mild side compared to others I've had. My son and I shared the President's BBQ Beef, which was excellent! Very tender, flavorful, and definitely one of the highlights of the meal. We also ordered the President's Pineapple Fried Rice, another winner. Great flavor, a nice combination of ingredients, and shrimp mixed in to round it out. My wife ordered a flat noodle dish with chicken and broccoli, which I believe was Pad See Ew. She enjoyed it as well. We beat the dinner crowd, which was nice, but as the restaurant filled up, service became a little harder to come by. We had to wave someone down a few times just to get our check. Nothing terrible, but it did take a little shine off an otherwise enjoyable experience. Overall, President Thai earns a solid four stars from me. It didn't blow me away or knock my favorite Thai restaurants off their pedestal, but the food was very good, the atmosphere was inviting, and the staff was genuinely friendly. If you're traveling along rhe freeway and want a good Thai meal before dealing with the craziness of downtown Pasadena, this is a worthwhile stop. Good food, pleasant surroundings, and a satisfying experience. Sometimes that's exactly what you're looking for!

It's a super cute, cozy spot decorated with great Thailand film posters and memorabilia, and the staff we briefly interacted with were warm and friendly. Unfortunately, the food and experience just didn't hit for me. My first experience was Pad See Ew takeout a couple of years ago, and I gave it another shot a week ago for a dine-in dinner with friends. We were surprised to discover that Tuesdays are a plant-based/vegetarian night. I had no idea! On the positive side, there was no line on this evening, the portions were generous, and the Thai Iced Tea was good. However, the execution of the food fell flat. I ordered the yellow curry; while it had a decent spice kick, the overall flavor profile was muted. In my opinion, Kwan Thai Kitchen offers far more flavor and a better bang for your buck. Please keep in mind there is no actual table service. I know my perspective might differ from other locals and some of my friends, but with so many great Thai options nearby, the food here was a big miss for me. Sadly, I won't be back unless my friends drag me.

Restaurant exterior has a big elephant statue in front of it... great photo op! Inside space had dark wood appeal to it... very clean and well kept. Upon entry, we were greeted and seated right away. It was still early so not too busy at the time. Staff was friendly and cordial. Service was decent. Lunch special menu had limited items. Their prices start from $19 and up. Just one tiny gripe, portions were small for the price. My friend ordered the Crispy Duck Salad. It came with crispy tempura-battered duck, fresh mixed sprouts and grapefruit, pine nuts and tahini topped with drizzles of blended hoisin sauce, chu hou sauce, and plum sauce. Greens were great, but duck was a tad salty for my taste. I got the Truffle Wok Seared Noodles with Scallops (lunch portion). It was recommended by our server, Cameron. Thank you for the delicious recommend! Dish came with a small bowl of intensely sour, spicy, salty, and aromatic Tom Yum soup... very good! Overall dish was amazing served with tasty wok-flavor handmade egg noodles and perfectly cooked scallops complemented with yummy mushrooms, brussels sprout leaves, and Thai basil all tossed in a dark black truffle sauce. YUM! I slurped up the noodles in a jiffy. Unfortunately, it only came with 3 medium sized scallops. I would get this again if it came with 3 more scallops and more noodles.

It's not a huge restaurant, but they have a decent number of tables inside and out. When we were there, they had three workers -- one waitstaff and two in the kitchen.

The things we got that were pretty good were: pad see ew, pork fried rice, pork hock rice, and kee mao noodles (probably our favorite of everything). The things we got that were okay, but not great, were: beef pepper rice and crispy pork appetizer. Service was friendly.

The pride of family recipes is evident throughout your meal. This is a Thai restaurant with updated takes on classic Thai / Asian cuisine. They are proud that they have been able to maintain quality for almost 19 years. I stopped on a Sunday afternoon. I was greeted by a friendly hello/how can I help you as I walked toward the counter. I indicated I needed some help with the menu as I had some questions about some of the dishes I used to order. The staff member, Mary, indicated that while they add new dishes a lot of their favorites have stayed on the menu. She suggested I order from their special lunch menu as it would be a savings as well as a chance to try some of their new flavors / spices. I wanted to try a number of things that would make approximately two meals. I let her know that I wanted her to make the choices for me and she accommodated my request by making suggestions after asking a number of precise questions as to the spice level and variety I was looking for. I let her know that I like spicy food and eat everything. Pad See Ew with beef, Summer Rolls, Chicken Gyoza were my first selections. I decided to add a Ramen Soup as well. While I waited for my order to be cooked, I was able to enjoy the cute atmosphere in the dining room. They also have a few tables outside the entrance for those that like the fresh air. At one point the chef came out and asked about what cooking technique and spice/heat I might prefer. That was a nice touch. I do like my vegetables with a little bit of a bite and my meat medium rare. After about a short wait my food was ready for me to pick up at the counter. Everything was packed carefully and I was asked if spices and utensils were needed. I indicated that the spices and chopsticks were perfect. When I got home I was pleased that the smells that I had sampled in their kitchen were still emanating as I unpacked the various parts of my meal. There was definitely more than enough for two meals. The Summer Rolls were fresh and full of flavor. All the vegetables, carrots, basil, cucumber, and Cilantro we're fresh from the garden. Their peanut dipping sauce was a perfect addition. The Chicken Gyoza had a nice chew and great flavor with the dipping sauce. I mixed some of the soy vinaigrette with the sweet black dipping sauce. I enjoyed the combination. The Pad See Ew with beef was perfectly cooked. The thinly sliced beef still had great flavor and chew. The Chinese broccoli was cooked perfectly along with the scrambled eggs and garlic. Flavors worked well together in the special dipping sauce provided. I love that they make their own sauces from scratch. The b&w Ramen/barbecued pork and pork chicken wontons we're a perfect match. Plenty of food with great flavor and spice. The liquid part had great flavor and a nice mix of complex spices. This is something that is not cooked quickly. All of the vegetables and meats had great flavor and you could tell they were all fresh and cooked perfectly. I did add some extra spice that was given to me in packets as I left. I also added a touch of soy sauce. They were careful to make sure that my experience was one that I would enjoy at Daisy Mont. I found out that Ben had worked on my preparation in the kitchen and Mary had graciously taken care of me at the counter. What excellent service. This is a great location but parking can sometimes be challenging. They have spaces along Colorado Boulevard that are usually available depending upon the time of day. There is also some parking around the corner in a parking lot. Be aware check the signs to see whether there is a charge. Great food, great service, always and enjoyable experience look forward to going back again soon. There are plenty of items still on the menu for me to try.

Veggies included tomato, mushrooms, broccoli, and cabbage. + Kang Kiew Wan (Green Curry) - with chicken. First bites were excellent but as you ate on, it was on a saltier side so make sure to have rice on hand. Ordering here, rice is an add on but we cooked some at home so was all good.

Very clean and well decorated space. Nice AC on a hot summer day. Do note, the window seat is a little weird because you can't lean back (No back rest). I wanted something light so I got a small Tom Kha Chicken Soup and a Thai tea, which I asked to be less sweet and they obliged. The soup was very sour, which I didn't expect since it didn't say that in the menu description. I knew Tom Yum is sweet and sour but didn't expect that from a curry soup. Also, 1/3 of the soup were the spices (that you don't eat) so it felt really small of a portion after I removed those pieces. My friend gave me some of their extra rice and it was still too sour. The Thai iced tea was a little bland, probably since I asked for it to be less sweet, so I don't recommend doing that. I think less sweet also meant less milk so it wasn't very creamy. Still refreshing though. In my photo, you can see the color difference between my less sweet thai iced tea and my friend's normal one. Mine was kind of brown. His was the normal bright orange. I also tried my partner's pad Thai and normally I don't like pad Thai because it's too sweet, but this one was on the less sweet side so it was quite decent. I tried my partner's Thai Iced Coffee, which we ordered out of curiosity. She said it's basically normal coffee but more sweet. To my surprised, it was not sweet at all, like zero sugar. It tasted like a more burnt americano with a splash of milk. We were not fans. We parked about 1/2 mile away because street parking is free and we don't mind walking. Parking structure is available nearby too, for only $1 for the first 2 hours. Bathrooms are shared among three restaurants, but they are very clean.
