Mango sticky rice
Annie Y.

I don't frequent El Monte a lot so it's not a surprise I didn't know this spot existed. I'm glad I do now! Solid Thai food with great service. (Almost) everything is served in to-go containers which makes taking leftovers home very convenient. We ended up taking the curry home and the employee helped pack it up. Fried wontons with cream cheese: 3/5 Not my favorite, but my cousin who really likes these types of dishes really enjoyed it! Drunken noodle: 4.5/5 Pretty good! Aptly sweet and a little spicy (we ordered mild). Wish there was a bit more meat but not a big deal. Papaya salad: 5/5 Yum! Crunchy and vibrant. Definitely squeeze the lime on there! It was pungent in the best way. Pad see ew: 3.5/5 This was alright. They use broccoli instead of gai lan, and it was too sweet for me. Mango sticky rice: 5/5 Solid! No stringy mango and it was sweet. The rice was warm, sweet from the coconut cream.

I take all of my cars to G1 Auto Repair, across the street from Bobby Thai. This is the first time we hung around because it was a quick inspection. We just might start waiting for our cars so we can grab a bite here! Unassuming little spot in a busy shopping center filled with health & beauty shops and a market. The portions are huge and the food is absolutely fresh & delicious! The galbi was so good my daughter ate w her hands. She doesn't mess w her nails for just anything! And my soup was perfectly balanced w citrus and spicy heat. Just a warning to check for peanuts in case you have an allergy. I don't, but my daughter does. They were kind in their response. Staff is super friendly too! We'll definitely be back. I can't wait to try out more items in the menu!

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

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.

Pad see ew

Went here today and got the drunken noodles the pad see ew and papaya salad. Everything taste great. The salad was super fresh and flavorful. The noodles were such large portions for the price. Service is outstanding super attentive. I highly recommend.

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.

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!

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!

Cashew chicken R11. Flavor was very good
Chris L.

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!

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.

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.

Mango sticky rice

As soon as I walked in I was greeted my a gentleman with the upmost charisma. Food is amazing and the bevs are delicious. The spot is so glamorous and the vibe is great. I really enjoyed my time there and I would recommend.

Soooooo good! Where do I even begin?! I was in the area craving my usual boba fix and I am SO…read morethankful I stumbled upon this place. The Hojicha Pudding in the Iron Buddha Oolong Milk Tea is a solid standard. But the Ube Taro Mochi Green Milk Tea?! HELLOOOO. Hella yum! I got both at 30% sweet and 50% ice, and I'm so glad I did because it balanced the pudding and that rich ube taro mochi paste perfectly. I fear full sweetness might be a little much, but I'm an old Asian who believes desserts should be "not too sweet." Lololol Service was friendly, the shop is cute, and I loved the cute lighting and tea wall. I live about an hour away and I would genuinely consider making the drive back JUST for this tea!

The menus are all over the place it made me confused. Do I need to pay for toppings or no? One menu…read moredoesn't list the price for majority of the topping while another said its not free The drinks were alright. I would say average because I feel like putting some tea with milk is very easy to cost like $7+ per drink. They're big portion though. The teas are strong but not as fragrant as I would like them to be. The shop doesn't smell like tea though. I think it's a good place to try. I might come back for other teas but I'm not sure how to order anything from here. I ordered the hojicha latte but it doesn't look like the photo

The workers don't care and it seems like there's no management here either. Sometimes they take away the kiosk. Why take it away and force me to interact with their extremely rude employees who always act like they don't want to be there? This is not a single experience. More than half the times I go here someone is rude. The boba are either softened to mush or are hard. They're either out of boba, out of straws, or out of lids. There are so many boba places in the SGV I don't see why I need to give this place more chances when I'm spending $8 on a drink with 15% preselected tip option just to deal with an employee that acts like you're interrupting their free time.

So, had to wait longer than usual. I usually get 25% for sweetness level. It tasted pretty good/to our palate for most drinks. The only drink I thought could have used more than 25% sugar would be the Tiramisu Special Boba Milk Tea. DRINKS: Watermelon Cheese Slush 5/5 25% sugar. Our favorite so far Burnt Caramel Cheese Milk Tea 4.5/5 25% sugar is plenty sweet. Tiramisu Special Boba Milk Tea 4.25/5 25% sugar. I think 50% sugar would have been better. Didn't really taste the tiramisu part. Pistachio Coconut Velvet 4.25/5 Fairly good. Interesting, but in a good way. Mango Cheese Slush 4.25/5 Not bad Passionfruit Super Fruit Tea (L) 4.25/5 Fairly happy with it. Decent tea with fruits. Mango Pomelo Sago 4/5 A lot of people seem to really like this drink, even at other boba tea shops. Tried it here, it was okay for me. Drinkable, not a stand out. Again, it's personal preference. I see a lot of folks ordering this drink here and elsewhere. Osmanthus Rice Milk Tea 4/5 Alright. Nothing special. Super Watermelon 3.9/5 Watermelon juice & green tea with Water Chestnut Popping Boba. Wanted to like it, but it was okay. Drinkable, but not stellar. Jasmine Tea Latte 3/5 Bf said it was milky. Sounded like it tasted light.

Yesh yesh & yesh!…read more Quality tea right here!!! The first time I visited this place was when they were fairly new. At that time, I left with a not so good impression.

Seriously...these other hot hot tea shops or restaurants need to follow...

My buddy called this place the Michelin of tea. I told him to slow down with that proclamation. No,…read morehe was right. This place hits! Arguably the best tea place I've had. And probably the busiest store in the already crazy busy plaza. I see why the line goes out the door. Flavor was excellent. Well balanced. Nothing overpowering. Staff were polite, well dressed, and friendly despite the crowd. Ordering was easy. Ingredients measured which tells me they're consistent. Super consistent. I'm sure others rave about the drink sleeve with the trusty rope handle. Which is surprisingly sturdy. I mean, don't go swinging around your highly crafted drink you paid good money for. But you could. Great vibe, limited seating. Shared plaza bathroom that you have to request a key. And parking is nuts. Bring a friend and drop them off to get in this line while you park. Pro tip. Enjoy and cheers.

Grab-and-go

It is always a treat when I get to have Chun Yang Tea! I wish they'd open one in Orange County…read more There are so many drinks that I like from here, but my current favorites are: Mango Coconut Sago ($7.29), Lychee Oolong ($5.99), Kumquat Lemon ($6.59), and Lemon Green Tea with Green Tea Jelly ($5.99). I love that they have an online ordering system that does not charge extra fees. I still hate that this is located in a very limiting parking lot. There is often no parking space available, so it's best to come with someone else so that they can wait in the car while you run in to grab the drinks.

Tried plenty of tea shops in the 626, but Chun Yang is still one of my favorite!…read moreAs an oolong tea lover, their Osmanthus Honey Oolong Tea Latte ($6.79) is my go to. I usually ask for less ice and 0% percent sugar since it's already sweetened with honey. The oolong is fragrant, smooth and tastes high quality, making every sip a treat. This drink instantly brightens my day. The staff are friendly and ordering from the self-service kiosk makes it quick and easy. It's definitely a grab and go spot. The only downside is that the shop is tucked toward the back of the plaza, somewhat hidden and parking can be difficult during busy times. I usually have better luck finding street parking. With so many tea shops popping up, Chun Yang continues to be one of my tried and true favorites- a perfect fusion of traditional and modern.

I've visited 3Catea multiple times at Arcadia Mall and in Irvine, but this was my first time…read morevisiting their San Gabriel location! Their staff were very helpful and efficient, I got all my drinks in 5 min. I'm a big fan of their mango drinks, so I had to get my usual mango fix. This time, I also decided to try their new seasonal pumpkin series, and I was pleasantly surprised by the flavors! - Pumpkin Duet Jasmine Green Milk Tea, fresh pumpkin purée, and pumpkin mousse. The pumpkin flavor really comes through, blending nicely with the jasmine green milk tea. It has a rich, smooth pumpkin taste without being overly sweet. A nice seasonal option for anyone who enjoys pumpkin! - Pumpkin Soy Mochi Golden Amber Tea, coconut house milk, fresh pumpkin purée, soybean mousse, and handcrafted mochi. This was my favorite of the two pumpkin drinks! I love having mochi in my drinks, and the chewy texture made this one extra enjoyable. The pumpkin and tea flavors were well balanced, and I appreciated that it wasn't as sweet as many fruity drinks. - Peachy Strawberry Glow Mashed strawberries at the bottom, fresh strawberries, and a smoothie base. This is tasty too but I still like mango more~ - Sunlit Mango Glow Mashed mango at the bottom, smoothie base, fresh mango, and passion fruit flavor. Their mango drinks remain a favorite of mine, especially if you enjoy refreshing fruit-based drinks! Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by the pumpkin series. Both drinks have a noticeable pumpkin flavor while still allowing the tea to shine, and they're not overly sweet. If you enjoy pumpkin and tea, I'd definitely recommend giving them a try while they're available. My personal pick is the Pumpkin Soy Mochi, especially if you're a fan of chewy mochi in your drinks! You can find parking on the street or back. Ambiance is nice and quiet which I prefer.

The mango drink at 3CAT was so good! Loved the mango flavor--it made for such a refreshing treat…read more Definitely something I'd order again. If you love mango, give this one a try! So good good ‍
