July 16, 2025 | Wednesday | Pad Thai w/crispy tofu!!
Shantelle S.

July 16, 2025 | El Monte | Bobby Thai was a delicious surprise! A group of friends, and I had a shareable lunch together & what a yummy feast it was! Variety of soups, Pad Thai, and Curry, oh my! Hahaha! We loved it! Pad Thai | My Main Dish: Delicious with a bit of sweetness, & the perfect amount of crispiness to my flavorful tofu, which I enjoyed! I would easily order this dish again! Portions are huge here as well! Thai Iced Tea: Yummy! One of the best Thai Iced teas I've ever had! Warm Welcome: Incredibly friendly customer service! We were checked on constantly throughout our meal and easily with a smile! Parking: Free! Parking space is right up front! Overall: Yes, I would easily visit again! In fact, I'm looking forward to trying more dishes on the menu, including the Taro Milk Tea & shrimp fried rice! Thanks again, our meal was delicious in a very relaxed atmosphere!

Peanut sauce on chicken satay...mild. tastes better than it looks.

He said his name is Bond. Just like James Bond. Five stars for friendly warm welcoming service. Bond even recognized my companion who had dined here a week or so ago. Its a casual low-key place,...spacious dining room. Serving up solid Thai food thanks to Bonds' mom and dad in the kitchen. The Bobby of Bobby Thai has retired, so abundant is his nephew. There's a larger location in the Santa Clarita Valley under another name, but Bond us determined to bring this location to its former glory. I ordered chicken satay, which comes as three large flattened skewers, and a container of peanut sauce which is nice, a little runny, no chunks of peanut, but it's tasty without being thick or too peanutty. It also came with a red sauce but looked spicy, so pass. Didn't cone with a vinegar cucumber condiment like at other places but no matter, we dove in and enjoyed it. It's not a dainry satay, but very hearty, so the light peanut sauce works. 5/5 I also ordered to share the pineapple fried rice, hold the shrimp. There's no egg in this dish which is better for me. I'm allergic to egg and to shrimp. I should have asked for the shrimp on the side so my companion could eat it. Next time. The pineapple was juicy....there were raisins cashews and chicken along with some beef too...there's a curry flavor which surprised me....in fact this dish was awesome as a leftover two days later 5/5 it's nice freshly made but overnite that curry rice was darn tasty. 5/5 I took a star off bec if the plastic utensils, the Styrofoam takeout....your food comes to the table already in takeout containers....we decided to dine in so plates, forks knives....to make it less of a take out and mire of a destination restaurant, but they are short handed and probably compensate by making your meal to go at the get go. No need a dishwasher!! Plenty of free parking in Titos Plaza. No problem with credit cards.

Cashew chicken R11. Flavor was very good
Chris L.

Nice and friendly staff cook does take there time but I was happy with the results food was absolutely delicious got cashew chicken seemed fresh flavor was amazing they had some good music on would come here again just be patient

Khao Soy (curry noodles)
Vi V.

Came back after their remodel, and its still really good! You can tell the owner really cares about his customers. He's so nice! Had Khao Soi noodles again, again very very very good!

Khao Soy You must try this.

I went to Bobby Thai in El Monte and asked what they reccomended. He learned that I once lived in Chiang Mai and suggested Khao Soy (N8 Curry Noodles), a dish that originated in Northern Thailand. I ordered that without a second thought. Finding Khao Soy is very difficult. It is a noodle dish served in a very mild yellow curry. If you have never had it, you must try it. It was absolutely delicious and authentic since the owner and staff are from Northern Thailand . The service is awesome. The staff was very attentive to all the customers in the restaurant. It is a small quaint locally owned place with sufficient space for everyone. I highly recommend this place. I will be back.

Pan and his younger sister Nan are so nice in this clean and cozy restaurant!

Bobby Thai on Garvey in El Monte is back open after a complete remodel. Best Thai restaurant in the San Gabriel Valley and definitely one of the best in Los Angeles. I'm going to Thailand in a few weeks but I'm so glad I have Bobby Thai close to home!

A3. Fried Tofu
Kim C.

Located in Tito's Plaza with lots of free parking. Called in my order and was ready in 15 minutes. They accept credit cards. Ordered fried tofu and rad na chicken. The fried tofu was perfectly fried and I loved the sauce that came with it. Wasn't the typical sweet chili sauce from the bottle. The rad na was filing and delicious. I only wish they gave the noodles in a larger to go tray instead of packed into the to go Chinese takeout square container. The chicken and sauce were separate in a to go soup container. I had to mix on my own plate and the noodles were all stuck together in a large cube shape. There are tables instead. Front counter staff were friendly.

Guys. This has to be hands down the best Thai food I have ever tried. Normally I thought Ochas would beat my standards, but this Thai place skyrocketed them. Next time I am going to try the Tom Kah and update this, but I just know i am not going to be disappointed. I am a very picky eater when it comes to Thai food, but like I said it was just overall so amazing and I am so in love with this restaurant. Shoutout to my girl Nanny! Such a sweet soul. -J The food is very very good, while the dinnerware is paper plates and the dishes come in to go boxes, the food is definitely worth it. The spicy drunken noodles were the highlight of the meal and def the fish to get. Also meeting the owners was very cool and it is rewarding as consumers to support local family owned businesses. -K Overall. We love this place! This is our new favorite? PORTIONS WERE ELITE! We both got full and didn't even finish the plates! So that's exciting!

Wanted Thai food and spotted this place on Yelp with very high ratings so headed over to try it out. Located inside Tito's Plaza. Food is served in plastic to go containers, styrofoam plates and plastic utensils. Felt very odd eating with all that plastic inside a restaurant, especially with hot soup in a togo container. Requested for actual plates and bowls and he brought over melamine/plastic bowls and plates, which felt a bit better than styrofoam and clear plastic containers. Iced coffee is very sweet and the taste of coffee is barely there, just a sugary brown drink. 6 metal tables inside, no outdoor dining. Pad Thai is overly sweet and sauced up. Was hard to eat. Never had a failed pad Thai so was extremely surprised. Free extra rice offered. Seafood hot pot was ok . The person running the show was a kind super sweet gentleman. Very friendly service. He offered complimentary rice refill and water. Such a bummer that the food was too sweet and the style is more like street food presentation.

N2. Pad Thai with Chicken and Shrimp.
Tracey H.

What a find! You get so much food for what you pay. We couldn't finish what we ordered in one sitting. We loved the flavor and it came with a fair amount of meat. Spicy Noodles: This is essentially Pad Kee Mao and this was our favorite of the two orders. We got medium spicy, which was a spicy that builds but doesn't hurt. It had a good amount of basil and soy sauce flavor. Pad Thai: This was very good, but a little sweeter and saucy-er than what I'm normally used to. The lime slice helped to add a bit of zing to the dish. We opted to dine in. Our entrees were served in take-out boxes. We were also provided styrofoam plates and forks.

Pad Se-Ew with Pork
Leesuh W.

First time at this location and I decided to order for pickup. The process was smooth, and my food was ready pretty quickly, which I appreciated. The flavors here are a bit different compared to other Thai places I've tried--unique in a good way. The dish I ordered was tasty, though I did find it a tad on the salty side. Still, it was enjoyable, and I'm curious to try some of their other dishes next time I'm in the area.

My daughter absolutely loves this place so we took a picture of us making a heart for our review

HIDDEN GEM ! The best Thai food !! At the top of my family's list to go to ! Owner is always so friendly highly recommend!

Chicken and shrimp pad thai
Linh P.

We came here for lunch and it took forever for the food to come out. Seems like there might be just one cook in the back. Otherwise, the food and service were good. All of the dishes we ordered were flavorful. Decent portions. If we come back, i recommend ordering take out ahead of time and then come eat. They serve to you in to go containers anyhow.

Amidst many mediocre bubble tea spots, Chan Yang Tea shines…read more My hubby and I are picky about places that specialize in tea. Often times these places offer sweet water without or barely there tea flavor. Chin Yang brews their tea strong, which we loved. We liked that we could adjust the sweetest too. Ambiance is cute and clean. Overall definitely recommend if you're picky about your boba tea.

Decided to try this boba spot after seeing so many good reviews. I tend to resort to Chicha San…read moreChen or Molly Tea when I'm around this area, but wanted to try something new. It's nestled in a little plaza with minimal parking. Luckily, we went on a weekday and there were at least 2 parking spots open. The shop itself is small-- as soon as you enter, the register is right there with the self service kiosk to the left and the waiting area to the right. Even though there was only 1 party ahead of us, it took around 15-20 minutes to get our drinks. But I'll give them the benefit of the doubt since we ordered a lot of drinks. For myself, I was able to try the traditional roasted oolong milk tea with pearl and the hojicha latte-- both at 70% sweet. I have a sweet tooth, so the sweetness was at a perfect level for both. However, I didn't get that much of a strong roasted oolong taste in the milk tea as I've gotten from other boba shops. The hojicha latte was good enough, but also did not have that strong, nutty taste in comparison to others. I am more of a milk tea person, but maybe next time I'll try the honey osthamnthus tea since a lot of people seem to love it!

This a great addition to the Rosemead tea scene. The teas are flavorful and have the right balance…read moreof sweet but smooth tastes. I personally come here on Friday nights and sundays because they are open late. It brings me back to the college days where late night cram sessions and boba tea was all you live on. The service is fast, and I love that they have a drive thru. I highly highly recommend getting some of their snacks at least once. If you are looking for a solid tea place that goes back to the days when flavored teas first hit SoCal this is the spot for me. Nothing fancy just good old tea and boba.

I still am a frequent customer here, and it's a consistent spot to get a nice drink while working…read moreremote! Everything is still true in my previous review, however I have noticed that the music here is often times super loud, making it hard to work without noise cancelling headphones. I sometimes have a hard time hearing my friend who is often sitting across or right next to me. Other than that, their drinks have been great and I'm so happy about the new Munchie Combo addition to the menu! The combos are super appealing because you can get a drink for essentially another couple dollars, which is a steal if you ask me since most of the time I'm getting a snack. Their app has also been really helpful so I can snag a seat during rush hours without having to wait in line for the kiosk. Overall great spot but be sure to bring some noise cancelling headphones as music played pretty loud.
