    Pad see ew
    Mike N.

    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.

    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.

    Cashew chicken R11. Flavor was very good

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    It's a Taiwanese beef noodle place tucked inside a plaza on peck rd. The overall ambiance is homey…read moreand the staff are friendly. Menu is simple (1 laminated paper front and back). Their most popular No. 1 dish is the beef noodle soup with optional choices such as meat with tendon or triple combo with meat tendon and tripe. The soup is more on the heavier side but tasty and not too spicy. Recommended style is to take the soup home and use it to make a 2nd bowl of beef noodle soup at home :) Their pork chop is also huge portion and juicy! Ordered the combo with rice and side dishes and can easily become a meal for 2 or dinner and packed lunch for next day. Overall price point may see slightly higher compared to other restaurants but their portion size compensates for it. Paying cash gets 3% discount and cash payment over $50 gets a free drink!

Pricing is more than other places but the portion is large enough to have leftovers or feed two so it's acceptable. I get the tendon only beef noodle soup, as I like the texture of well cooked tendon so much. The flavor of the broth is rich and concentrated. The noodles have a bouncy chew texture and doesn't soak up the broth even when refrigerated overnight. The amount and size of tendon they give here is phenomenal, never seen quality and quantity like this really justifies the pricing. The wonton soup is also a large portion, that is sharable. The wontons are different from Hong Kong style, a big size and just ground meat no shrimp. I wouldn't order this again as the beef noodle soup is just so much better. Chilled cucumber salad was addicting and small enough portion to be finished off in one sitting. Crunchy and marinated in a quick pickle this was so yummy as a side dish. You can order soup to-go or even refrigerated so you can reheat at home in your own convenience. Limited menu but if you do one thing right it's all you need. Service was attentive and pleasant, cash payment is encouraged as you get a slight discount compared with card.

We ordered the Hu Tieu Thap Cam (large noodles), Banh Bot Chien, and Dau Cha Quay as an appetizer. The Bot Chien came out first after about 20 minutes. My soup didn't arrive until 15 minutes after that, and the Dau Cha Quay? We had to ask four times before it finally showed up -- by which point we were nearly done eating. As for the food itself, my Hu Tieu Thap Cam was a disappointment. A large bowl that was mostly noodles, with just two shrimp, a single slice of liver, barely a teaspoon of ground beef, and a few thin slivers of chicken. The veggie toppings were just as sparse. For what's supposed to be a hearty noodle soup, it felt like a bowl of afterthoughts. I hate writing reviews like this because I genuinely used to love this place. But the combination of slow, uncoordinated service and underwhelming portions makes it hard to recommend.

    This is my 1st time here at Pho 99 . The place is nice and chill. Bun Bo here is amazingread more

    I'm shocked this place has such a good yelp rating…read more Pho was good, 7.5/10. Meats were soft and cooked right. Broth is on the lighter side but still good. Noodles were thin and cooked properly. The bone rib was a hard miss. It was very chewy and almost hard, as if it was old. Cooked a while ago and sitting for someone to order it. The rib itself is 4/10, if 5/10 meant acceptable. I ONLY recommend this spot if you're on your lunch break and gotta stay in the area for work. Otherwise, you should make the drive to eat better. I assume the good rating they have is due to lack of competition in the immediate area. They have a B rating as if 9/25/2024! 1.5 years and they still haven't made the effort to get right? I've eaten in many hole in the wall spots and have pretty normal standards for cleanliness as I understand how things get. But this place made me feel dirty. I'm a dude who can just stand and piss over any drain, but the restroom was disgusting. If my family was with me I would feel horrible allowing my wife or kids to have to use it. Washing your hands would make you feel dirtier, that's how bad it was. Bottom line. 6/10 If you must remain in this area, go for it. The pho is good enough. If you have options and time 4/10, steer clear from here until they put in the effort. If the bathroom didn't gross me out so much, I woulda took a photo.
