    Great curry lunch special. Was so pleasantly surprised. Our server was wonderful. Tried the Panang & the yellow curry. Great portion for a nice lunch.

    Too much time had passed since the last time my boyfriend and I made our way to Chao Doi Thai! We seated ourselves and our server was friendly, as usual! :) it was busier than normal but it still had its cozy vibe. We tried the shrimp egg roll to start, and it was so fresh and flavorful. He tried the pad Thai and loved it. I ventured to the Tom Kha and I'm SO glad I did!! The rich coconut curry was perfectly balanced with the savory chicken. We both had enough for plenty of leftovers! For dessert, we ended with the taro smoothie. Can't wait to be back!

    Once again, this place still have great service and foods! The waiter was being funny when we asked for 2 chopsticks. So he brought exactly 2 chopsticks when we actually meant pairs of chopsticks! Haha. We ordered spicy chow mein this time instead of pad see ew and it is also good!! Always felt warm welcome when we are here!

    So I've dined here once and gotten takeout once and both times were pretty mediocre. The only good thing is this place is open later than most of the other Thai spots in Pasadena. Parking was pretty easy to find on the street. As far as the food goes: Pad Thai (3/5): The noodles came out super clumped together and seemed over cooked. Also, the taste was just a little off and way darker coloring than I'm used to. They didn't provide any lime or lemon either for acid to cut the sweetness. The egg appeared to have been cooked separately and thrown on top instead of being cooked together with the noodles. Pineapple fried rice (3/5): The rice was overdone and came out in small pieces so you don't get the chew of in tact rice kernels. Prob was not day old rice or smashed too much during the stir frying process. Taste was ok and came with nice big shrimp and pineapple chunks but rice was not good. Chao doi platter (4/5): This was actually pretty decent and nicely fried. It comes with egg rolls, fried shrimp, crab rangoon, and crispy triangle. Came with a sweet and sour dipping sauce. Definitely not a first choice Thai spot for me but could do in a pinch. Also could be that their other dishes are made better.

    This is a fantastic Thai restaurant located in a great corner (Los Robles Ave and Orange Grove Blvd). I discovered it by happenstance and definitely will be back. I ordered takeout and my order was ready in less than 10 minutes. The Pad Woon Sen (Thai Glass Noodles Stir fried) was definitely the star of the show. Despite being a low calorie food, it was delicious and filled me up. The Pad See Ew, as with every other place I've been to, was amazing. Nothing new here. The Rock Shrimp is a delicious, deep fried shrimp with a side sauce whose formula must be preserved for future generations. It is THAT good. The Sticky Rice was delicious. I always get mine without the mango side but I'm sure even with the mango, it would be amazing. 10/10. Would recommend.

The interior is ornate with traditional decor, and although the tables are tightly packed, it's comfortable. Back to the food. The portions are generous and the dishes are the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spicy. My favorites are the waterfall beef salad and the President Thai BBQ beef. We tried the fried soft-shell crab for the first time tonight. It was a pleasant surprise. Hot and crispy on the outside, soft and juicy on the inside. All the great flavor of crab without all the work of cracking through the shell and digging around for the meat. This was a treat! And of course, we must have mango and sticky rice for dessert.

On this visit, we decided to stop by for dinner, and it reminded me exactly why we've been coming back all these years. We ordered the Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, and Tom Yum Soup, and every dish was packed with flavor. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the Tom Yum had that bold balance of tangy, savory, and spicy flavors, and everything tasted fresh and authentically prepared. You can tell they've stayed true to their recipes over the years. One thing that really stood out was the portion sizes. We were not expecting such generous servings for dinner and ended up with plenty of leftovers to enjoy the next day. If you're looking for authentic Thai food with generous portions, president Thai is a must try in Pasadena.

I stopped by here around 7PM on a Sunday and thankfully was able to find street parking quickly (bonus--parking was free on Sundays). The menu is pretty simple but has all of the Thai standards like noodles, curry, and rice dishes. I opted for the Pad Thai, which was delicious. It came with chicken as well as two pieces of shrimp, and the portion was very generous. The food also came out in around 10 minutes, which I was very grateful for as I was pretty hungry when I ordered. The cafe is fairly casual and there were several people picking up takeout orders. Most dishes were under $20 which I think is very fair in this day and age. Definitely looking to return and trying some of their other dishes (fried rice looked good, maybe I'll try that next).

Their daily lunch special (11am -3pm) is one of the best deals around for only $14. It comes with your preferred protein entree, a side salad, white rice and your choice of 2 egg rolls or chicken potstickers. My favorite is their cashew nut chicken, extra spicy. The beef and broccoli is great too. The food is always flavorful, fresh and the portions are generous. They have a great menu with a lot of appetizers, soups, noodles and your favorite Thai dishes. They have a nice list of dessert options including mango sticky rice and homemade coconut Ice cream. Online ordering is available too but service is always fast and friendly. Street parking is no longer free in Pasadena as of 2026. Lots of paid parking in nearby lots. This is a must try spot for authentic and affordable Thai food in Pasadena's playhouse district.

We ordered: + Cream cheese wontons - the wonton was fried light but crispy, and filling was plentiful. A little pricey without having any imitation crab or green onion in there. (5 for $10.95). + Tom Kah Soup - this tasted pretty good but not like other tom kah soups I've had? The opacity of the soup was a little more transparent. 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. Besides the wontons, the price to portions of the other items were very good. We ordered through doordash and the price was consistent as what was on their menu too.
