    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

Even though we had to put our name down and line up outside, the line moved fast. Food came out quickly and decently priced, just look at portion size!

The soup noodles you get to pick what kind of noodle you want for a customized bowl of deliciousness. Made a Togo order of congee for a sick friend and the included pickled vinegary peppers!

While some dishes passed the taste check, others dishes didn't do the original any justice. Mi/Hu Tieu Thap Cam Dry was light in flavor, but absolutely satisfying. The noodles were bouncy that made every bite enjoyable from start to finish. Hu Tieu Xao was fragrance with that irresistible wok hei flavor. Generously loaded with meat and vegetables, the large portion could easily feed 3 people. So so dishes was Mi Bo Kho was way too gloopy, rather than the rich, fulled bodied. It was lukewarm and many pieces were just fat. Bot Chien arrived last to our table and ended up being a greasy mess. It's safe to say I'll be returning to our OG location where every dish is consistently good.

    what a pleasant surprise today. I read the reviews but didn't expect much considering it was off…read morethe beaten path and I dont typically agree with a lot or reviews on yelp. I always order the no.1 at new pho places as it's always the same combination and it was really good. Northern style pho broth which is a mild broth but not in a bland way, very tasty, clean and didn't have any taste of msg or bouillon/dashi. the typical cheat code a lot of places seem to use to pack some flavor. im not saying it was void of any but I couldn't make it out being asian. hidden gem that could rival any Westminster pho. nice ladies and clean bathroom. definitely will be back.

    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.

Who would've guessed that the BEST Beef Noodle Soup would have been in the middle of Arcadia. The BEST. And the pork & shrimp dumplings some of the BEST we've had in SF and LA top spots. The cold jelly dish (mung bean) is AMAZING. Who knew such a small unassuming mom and pop shop could rival some of the Michelin spots we've ventured to.

When the tomato egg noodle arrived, I was surprised by how little the sauce was compared to the amount of noodles, probably 2 tablespoons of sauce on top of the noodles and a few shredded cucumber. The cold jelly, according to the pictures, supposed to have some shredded bean curd and beans on top but again there was a few shredded cucumber on top of it and that was it. So I ask the server why the food looks different from the picture and she just answered "That's just how it is". Based on the amount of food we got, everything was overpriced. From my understanding this place was Michelin rated in 2021, I'm not sure how they got it, but quality definitely was not like that when they were rated. While I was paying, I saw the worker took out some frozen meat and placed them on the floor. - I mean are you serious ? ? I don't usually leave for reviews, but what they did really made me concerned about the food safety there and I want people to know. I'm sorry, but I don't think I will come back.
