Found this spot nearby when I went to a local theatre-Boston Court. Good food, the staff was nice, there's parking and the vibe is cozy with charm. I've been twice already! First time I got beef pad se ew and it was yummy. I went for early dinner on a Tuesday and the place was empty. The second time I went I got tofu pad Thai and it too was yummy. This time I went for lunch (they have great lunch specials) and the place was busy and buzzing. Note that here they put sautéed purple onions in their pad Thai. I'm used to onions on the dish being green onions. I happen to hate onions so it was a bummer, but I just picked them out and it was fine. Both times I got Thai iced tea, I'm lactose intolerant so can't usually have it. They have oat milk to substitute for the milk. There's a small parking lot with a couple of designated spots and you can enter through the back. There is also street parking nearby. read more

I can understand why Daisy Mint has many positive reviews. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, the space feels welcoming, and the food presentation is genuinely appealing. In fact, the photos of the dishes were what initially drew me in and made me want to try the place. Unfortunately, while the presentation looked great, the actual food was underwhelming for me. Fried Tofu - 2.5/5. The Fried Tofu tasted like something premade and reheated rather than freshly prepared. The dipping sauce also felt generic - like a standard sweet-and-hot sauce mixed with crushed peanuts. It was decent, but not memorable. Roti & Curry - 2.5/5. The Roti & Curry had a similar issue. The roti itself seemed reheated from a premade product, and the curry sauce tasted very generic. It lacked any distinct flavor or character that would set it apart from countless other Thai restaurants. Pad Thai - 3/5. The Pad Thai was average at best. For my taste, it leaned far too sweet, and I wished there was more balance and complexity beyond just sweetness. Thai BBQ Chicken - 1.5/5. The biggest disappointment was the Thai B.B.Q. Chicken. Since the menu mentioned "15 minutes," I assumed the chicken would be grilled fresh to order and served hot off the grill. That expectation made me genuinely excited to try it. Unfortunately, the dish that arrived felt like the opposite. The chicken was cold, not freshly grilled, and the meat tasted stale rather than tender and juicy. It honestly seemed like it had been cooked earlier and reheated before serving. On top of that, the flavor itself was surprisingly bland. Overall, the food tasted like what you would find at many generic Thai restaurants, where the dishes feel standardized and lacking individuality. Nothing particularly stood out in terms of flavor or freshness. While the ambiance and presentation were good, the food didn't live up to the expectations created by the reviews and photos. read more

Best Thai in Pasadena. Always busy but take out is quick and easy. All dishes excellent. Soups too. Glad they made it through the pandemic. Give the a go. read more

Love the food, enjoyed the cozy-with-a little-dash-of-vintage atmosphere, and always appreciate friendly service. I must have my cup of barley ginger tea when I visit. Smooth and perfectly sweetened. It's amazing, and I just have to learn how to make it!! My favorite Thai dish is pad see ew with beef, and they did not disappoint. Also got a small wonton soup and it was plenty for two. Very tasty! A sweet dining experience. We came at 6p, found plenty of parking, and were seated immediately. read more

Whenever I'm in Pasadena, this is my MUST visit, go-to!!! I crave it! It's a cute little charming restaurant with a local vibe. I can't get over how tasty and addictive the spicy eggplant is. A hint of spice and soo tasty. The sauce on the crying tiger is a tangy, spicy lime sauce that I'm determined to figure out what makes it soooo mouthwatering. The shrimp salad is a fresh balance with giant grilled shrimp and cashews. Service is super friendly!! If you like Thai food-this is a must try! read more

I recently tried out this place, and all I can say is that the food was great! I went with one other person, and we shared the papaya salad, panang curry with tofu, and the pad thai. Everything was delicious, but my favorite had to be the papaya salad, you definitely need to try it! The service was attentive throughout our meal, and the atmosphere was really cute and welcoming. I'd definitely come back again. read more

Sweet like Daisy, refreshing like mint. Daisy Mint is a charming little Thai restaurant in Pasadena. My family of three came here for early dinner/ late lunch yesterday. We shared their Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, and Red Pork Plate. The flavors were delicious, and each plate generously & beautifully served. Their red pork plate was delicious. My one wish would be that they served more of it, as I felt it was a couple pieces on top of a lot of rice. Our noodles were delicious. Pad Thai was my favorite for the night. Service was great! Our server was friendly, and prompt. Overall, a pleasant dining experience. read more

This restaurant is so, so cute. I was recommended this by a college professor and knew i had to come see what it's about... Their Pad thai portions are big and very sharing friendly. Their coconut chicken and shrimp noodle soup are both very good. Big bowl of soup to share. I was feeling health conscious and went for the salmon wrap and liked that they made it more tangy, but did not like the texture of the shredded salmon bits. Its a great restaurant to take people to who like aesthetics and good food altogether read more

I walked here from my work office for dinner. I ordered through their website. I ordered the steak salad and thai tea. It was ready in about 15 minutes. It is so cutely decorated and wished I would have eaten it there. It was ready as soon as I arrived and the cashier was super friendly. The steak salad was so refreshing and spicy due to the garlic in the dressing. It was perfect. The thai tea was perfectly sweet and they had crushed ice in it. I definitely will be back. read more

Came in for Sunday lunch with a friend. We found 1-hour street parking with no hassle. Inside is bright, clean, plenty of tables for small and medium sized groups. We were greeted and seated right away. There were a few tables with customers there already. The menu seemed small but I didn't mind it since they seemed to have a lot of main dishes. They do have some lunch specials but we opted for the full menu since we were sharing. We ordered the pad see ew with chicken and the papaya salad. It didn't take long for us to get our food. Pad See Ew. This was amazing. Great flavor, good amount of chicken, perfectly cooked veggies. We did order this medium spice but it didn't seem to have any spice at all. Papaya Salad. A generous portion. Great taste. I do think it needed to be a little saltier but it was pretty fresh and light. The menu specified that this was a spicy dish but it didn't have a hint of spice at all. I really enjoyed trying this place out and I will keep coming back to try more menu items. I hear the eggplant here is one of their must haves. I had to knock down a star because once the food came out, they forgot about us. We had to get up about 3-4x to ask for drink refills, to ask for the table spices, to ask for to-go containers, etc. But when we were ordering we had multiple people ask if we were ready to order, even though we had already put in our order. So maybe it was just an oversight and they thought someone else had already helped us. Either way it's not a deal breaker this time. read more

5+* Food 4.5 Service 4.5 Ambiance Daisy Mint in Pasadena was a serendipitous find for me. It has been a while since Ive been impressed with a Thai restaurant. Since Saladang changed hands, I didn't think I could find another Thai restaurant with the richness in flavors, herbs and ingredients. The restaurant is filled with old and new touches... a bit outdated and dusty, with a little TLC, I'm certain this restaurant would be more welcoming. The food is outstanding and that is the main draw: fresh, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. Every dish is bold with flavors that satisfies all your Thai food cravings.The menu offers a great variety, from classic Thai favorites to house specialties and everything we tried was delicious. We ordered the Steak Salad which is served with rice; quality, flavorful, grilled beef on a bed of lettuce, onions and a green chili sauce was unlike any Thai steak salad I had. It was delicious and I could have easily had another order. The Daisy Noodles were decadent and rich in both texture and flavor; the peanut sauce was balanced and satisfying. Although the sauce is rich in flavor, I wish there was an protein or vegetable option to add to the noodles. However, if you like silky noodles in a rich flavorful sauce, this noodle dish is delish. The Summer Roll is a healthy green lettuce wrapped in rice paper and served with a very flavorful peanut sauce which really made these rolls delicious, otherwise, the rolls were ordinary and perhaps my least favorite item ordered. My litmus test for all Thai restaurants is their Green Curry... Daisy mint passed the test! The richness in both flavor and color of the green curry, abundance of vegetables and shrimp, made this a home run! I can't wait to return and try their other dishes! Limited wine and beer options are available with other soft drinks. Dessert options are very limited. read more

Daisy Mint is a quaint little Thai place, interior honors a unique dinner setting. Plenty of street parking and located within minutes of other great experiences in Pasadena. Food was delicious! I enjoyed the Panang Curry on the menu which stole my heart. A hint of spice and served with rice, chefs kiss. This is one of my new comfort meals. In addition, Drunken noodles were a great complement to the curry. Noodles were a good texture, mixed in is choice of meat (I chose beef), baby tomatoes and bell peppers! The different elements in this dish worked very nicely together and is worth a try when you visit! Full circle moment was ordering jasmine tea to keep a good balance with some spice on the menu. Service was just fine which is why I am leaving a 4 star rating. No one really checked in on my friend and I during the meal unless we waved staff down for something like more water or chili paste. read more

High quality Thai food in a great location! Came in for lunch and left very satisfied. Every meal was delicious (seriously). The service was great and the restaurant inside was nice to sit in. Above all though, I cannot recommend the peanut dumplings enough--a must try. If ever back in the area, I will eat here again. read more

One of the best Thai food in SGV area. Cozy and amble decoration. The store has been here for a while and everything is made fresh in house. - Pad Thai: 5/5. Flavor spots on, plenty of meat, noodle has the consistent chewy texture. - Pineapple fried rice: 4.5/5. Really solid. You can taste the wok hei, and the rice isn't clumpy at all--each grain is nicely separated and full of flavor. - Papaya Salad: 4.5/5. Wish it comes with dried shrimp, but overall still solid option. Another thing I loveee about Daisy Mint is that they added generous amount of crumbled peanuts. You can ask them to leave on the side. Parking in the back and enter through backdoor, or street parking in the front. read more

Let's start out with the best part of the meal, the service. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted and seated immediately. The servers were friendly, polite and fast. However, it's a shame that the food didn't quite live up to the service standard. It's very disappointing when a signature dish like the chicken pad Thai misses the mark. Ketchup as the dominant flavor definitely doesn't sound like the authentic Thai experience one would hope for. Of course, i do not know if ketchup was used, but the dish tasted like it was. The vegetable stir fry had fresh and tasty vegetables.On the other hand, it had fatty pieces of pork, which took away from the dish. I would suggest to use more traditional Thai flavors to enhance the dishes and trim all the fat from the pork. read more

Fantastic Thai restaurant that offers authentic flavors and incredible value. The food is very delicious and I was quite surprised by how large the portions were given the price.

Cute Thai restaurant! Food is yummy, portion size is generous, service was friendly. Can't wait to come back. Ordered the spicy eggplant (so good!) , pad thai (generous size) , and hot Jasmine tea in a pot (refreshing). Whenever I come here I leave happy. I also make a stop at the cute bookshop (Book Alley), and Blue Rooster Art Supplies to grab some pens or other supplies- they have a cute cat named Lizard (it's close to the bookstore). So all in all great local for a nice afternoon out. Parking was not bad- found street parking. read more

Still a 5 with me. The food (especially the lunch) is reasonably priced and a good value. My chicken satay lunch left me satisfied. The ambience is charming, my friend had her two golden doodles with her and we were accommodated on the patio. There is plenty of space between the tables and it was easy to carry on a pleasant conversation. There was a gentle breeze and the temperature was just right. We started with one order of summer roll, $6.00, with peanut sauce. That was a great way to start the meal. My chicken satay came with salad, cucumbers, and rice. Our server was attentive and made sure we had water and napkins. I highly recommend this family run business. read more

Food is absolutely delicious, I had no idea that I had this gem of Thai food so close to home. The pad thai is one of my favorites, and the Thai yellow curry is also quite tasty, with a little bit of a kick but not so much that it's too spicy to eat. The cream cheese wontons are crunchy and savory. The chicken satee with the peanut sauce has a very generous portion and is big enough to be a meal for 1 or great to share. My bf thoroughly enjoyed the soup and the mixed vegetables with shrimp added. The service is really good. Be aware that they close for an hour for their lunch in the late afternoon, so check their schedule before you go. Also, it's a cozy place to dine in. read more

I've only ordered takeout but I have to say Daisy Mint might be the best Thai I've had on the east side. My favorite is the yellow curry, and I've had a lot of different ones all over this side of town, and this is the best one I've had hands down. Flavorful, rich, and the amount you get nets you at least (for me) 2-3 days worth. The prices are also really fair, especially right now when everything feels so staggeringly high. I can't wait to try other things on the menu. Big recommend! read more

I've been here twice now for lunch and I love this little spot! I was a bit hesitant the first time I came around because of its name lol but the food did not disappoint. I love me a good lunch special menu and there are so many options here! In fact, the waiter moved my friend and I to a bigger table after we ordered 4 dishes between the both of us lol! My favorite of all time is the pad see ew of course! It is very well done and flavorful. The spring rolls caught me off guard bc it was literally only vegetables inside (no noodles, meat, etc.) LOL and the crab wonton was COLD inside which I wasn't prepared for either (used to warm crab rangoon). I did really like the sauce they provided for the crab wontons though. My friend really liked her honey pork lunch special! I also ordered a Thai tea and it's the real thing! So good and not overly sweet. A great place to eat at if you ever want Thai food in the area. You will not be disappointed! read more

Wow, I haven't been back to Daisy Mint since college and I forgot how good this place was. My friends and I decided to grab lunch on Saturday right when it opened so we seated immediately. We ordered the pad thai, pad see ew and papaya salad. The pad thai and pad see ew were ordered from the lunch special menu. I was surprised to see a lunch special on a weekend. The portion of the pad thai and pad see ew were pretty generous. Everything that we order tasted really flavorful and was tasty. My favorite was the pad thai because it has a sweetness to it but it might be too sweet for others. Service is quick and friendly. The décor of the restaurant is very cute and antique looking. There's a parking lot in the back of the restaurant and also street parking as well. read more

I ordered takeout from Daisy Mint tonight. I have never ordered the yellow chicken curry from here. It is FULL of giant potatoes and giant carrots!! Barely any chicken UGH There was no way in the world I would've paid this price $$ for potatoes and carrots vs chicken it is a complete rip off. This dish is in a soup container so you don't realize it until you get home. I was beyond upset. Don't go here. If you look at the pictures posted on their website next to this dish you only chicken and curry. Look at the photos of what I actually paid for. read more

This is a very good Thai restaurant in East Pasadena. I came back in 2016 and was rushed through my meal because they close so early. I never came back because it seemed a little rude at the time. I came again and found the food is actually delightful. Service was much friendlier than I remembered. However, the fact is they close early, and if you want to relax and enjoy your meal unrushed, do not come in the last hour of service. Last call is 3 minutes prior to their closing, and they clearly want to get out of there. I understand, but just don't come in the last hour and expect to leisurely enjoy your meal. It's a very tiny restaurant but with a nice, hip decor. Parking can be a little tricky, but we managed to find something. The food itself is high quality and quite good all around. We had the chicken pad see ew, which was terrific. The crying tiger was also excellent, with delicious flavor and good quality beef. The Thai BBQ chicken is a standout. Many places make it with goopy wet sauce on top. This place makes it exactly how we like it. More of a marinade that is then grilled to a dry, crispy exterior. It's really great. The cashew nut chicken was also excellent. Usually, at other places, this isn't spicy, but they do it spicy here, and I like it a lot. The only misfire of the night was the spicy fried rice. Not only was it not spicy at all, but it was outright bland. Not good. Basically, come for an early dinner, but definitely come and try out this place. It's some good eating. Check it out! read more

We used to frequent daisy mint often but since becoming fully plant based it hasn't really been on our list.
