    I can't believe an amazing Thai place opened up in Pasadena. This is one of the best Thai restaurants I have been to in a while and we are really picky! From the ambiance to the food, everything is simply amazing. Here is what I had and would definitely get again!

    Typically drive past and have seen many restaurants come and go in this exact spot. Decided to check it out on a Sunday for lunch with a buddy. We arrived a few minutes before they opened and were seated immediately. Noticed on the door that they had limited quantities of the mango and sticky rice and were sold out of morning glory. A bit disappointed they didn't have morning glory, we ordered a few items to share. Chicken satay - Probably the most disappointing dish we ordered as the chicken really have the same texture of it being grilled. Sure it had a bit of char but the texture was more like the chicken was boiled and then placed on the grill for a bit. Grilled corn and papaya salad - Refreshing but tasted a bit different than what we were used to. The corn added a bit more texture and sweetness to the salad. Grilled chicken pad thai - The chicken served with the pad thai was good. Definitely tasted like it was grilled. It was interesting the noodles were also thinner than normal and were more like pho noodles. They clumped together and we needed chopsticks to serve. Drunken MaMa noodles - Tasty pan fried noodles and slices of beef cooked to a medium. Would definitely order again. Mango and sticky rice - Glad we asked about this right when we ordered as the waitress stated we got the only one as the mangos weren't ripe. Oddly enough, we saw a different waitress bringing out an order for another table. Pretty good but you could taste that the mango wasn't completely ripe. Will have to ask for a bit more coconut milk next time. Decent Thai restaurant for the Pasadena area but there are better ones within a 5 mile radius in my opinion. Portions are large enough to share with 2-3 depending on how much you order.

    Cute spot for a date night with a really well-designed interior. The menu is on the smaller side in terms of selection, but we decided to try the blue crab fried rice and drunken mama noodles with grilled beef. The blue crab fried rice had some nice, chunky pieces of crab, but both the crab and fried rice itself were a bit bland. The rice was cooked perfectly, though, so I think it just needed a little more seasoning. The drunken mama noodles with grilled beef were definitely the better of the two. The beef was cooked perfectly--tender and flavorful. I also really liked the basil, which was lightly tossed in oil and fried, giving it a nice texture and adding some extra flavor. The mama noodles were a little overcooked and had been broken into pieces, so unfortunately I didn't get those nice, long noodle strands I was hoping for. Our order was also delayed quite a bit because they forgot about it. They did compensate us with a discount, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, they had also run out of the mango sticky rice, which was disappointing since it was one of the things we were really looking forward to trying. Overall, the atmosphere is definitely a highlight and makes it a cute place for a date night. The food had some good elements, but a few dishes could have used more seasoning and better execution.

    Saw on TikTok that a new Thai restaurant opened in Pasadena, so we decided to give it a try! The interior was aesthetic and modern, great for a casual date night! Dalah is in its soft opening phase, and it's busy! We arrived around 12pm on Saturday and there was a 20+ minute wait for a party of 2. I'd recommend calling ahead for a reservation if you have a bigger group. We were able to put our name on the waitlist once we got there. Since it's still in the soft opening phase, the food came out a tad slower. The service was excellent and the waiters for very attentive. Given the hype online, I wanted to like the food more. Also, with the higher price point, we wished the portion sizes were slightly bigger. We ordered: * Pad Thai Grilled Chicken: This might be a personal preference, but the rice noodles here are really skinny, so they came out quite clumpy and missing that chewy texture. The grilled chicken was a nice touch, but it tasted very standard, like teriyaki chicken. I was hoping for more. * Green Curry Beef Cheek : There were about 6 pieces of beef on top of the green curry, and it comes with rice. The curry was super flavorful and the beef was cooked well, but there weren't any vegetables, so it felt quite pricey for what was served. There's street parking on Cordova near the residential area, or validated parking in the underground lot.

    We were looking for a good lunch spot in Pasadena and saw this place. We made a resy for 1130 and were seated right away. We got the prawn fried rice beef pad see ew and thai tea. My noodle dish came out first and it took another half hour for my boyfriend's fried rice to come out. The pad see ew was ok I usually prefer a drunken noodle but their pad kee Mao only came with instant mama mi noodles (??). The beef was ok a bit tough and dry to eat and was cold on top of my noodles. My boyfriend did not like his fried rice the rice was a weird texture and grainy. Really wanted to like this Thai restaurant but we won't be back.

    My fave, green curry with eggplant and beef

    We came here for dinner on a Friday night. There was a line waiting and all the servers are busy serving tables. The restaurant has a casual and cozy vibe. I love how the tables are set up with partial cushioned bench seating. The menu looks good and since we ordered in family style, I believe we ordered the majority of the menu Food came out fast even though the restaurant was full. All the dishes are delicious and they had fine touches to each plate. We enjoyed all the dishes including the desserts. When we left at around 8 pm, there were even more people waiting outside the restaurant. For sure, I will bring my friends and family back for more.

    The food took one hour to come out, and the portions are a lot smaller than they appear in the photos. They gave us a free mango sticky rice because of how long we waited. Either way, people who sat down way after us ended up getting their food first. The waitresses were nice, and the place is clean. The food was just okay, and I wouldn't come back.

    This is a relatively new hip restaurant in Pasadena next door to another great restaurant Marina.... Opened about 3 months ago their menu seems somewhat limited but the flavors and style they make things are quite unique I would have to say.... I got here 30 minutes after they opened and about half the place was filled...I had to wait for my friends to show up so as it got closer to 6PM man the place started filling up fast! Luckily I told the waitress that my friends will be here in 5 minutes and she seated me.... Though not traditional the foods were flavorful and good...the Pad Thai used a different type of noodles I'm not used to but it wasn't sweet like a lot of places which I'm glad... Hopefully they add a few more menu items so I can try some other things there in the future!

    We had reservations made on Yelp for Saturday and were seated with minimal wait. Just as we were looking at the menu, we were told that half of the appetizers were not available ( on a Saturday night) due to "trouble getting the ingredients" according to our server. I understand that they have been opened for 3 months and the soft opening concept may still apply (?) but I haven't heard this before. When the menu is small to begin with and you can't serve half of the appetizers, it's a problem. We ordered 2 typical thai dishes: - Pad thai: Served with grilled chicken, it lacked the contrast between the sweet from the palm sugar and sour from the tamarind and the fish sauce flavor was absent even if it is classically a main ingredient. The subtle smoky taste from the wok was also very faint 3/5 - Moo ghon tod: the fried pork and rice balls served with a little sweet sauce were ok ; They lacked some spices to give them some punch. As is, they were bland and the sauce served in a tiny ramekin did not save them : generous 3/5 - The complimentary mango sticky rice was the best dish of the night As others have noticed, it is on the more expensive side. As much as i would like to support new restaurants, this experience tonight was disappointing. I will follow them on Yelp and might give them a new visit. But my advice: They need to tighten the flavors specially for the pad thai as it is always considered the benchmark dish that Thai restaurants are always measured with!!

    Had a great meal here. Inside is modern and simple. There's a decent amount of seating but it's best for couples or small groups. The food is great. A somewhat elevated take on Thai food. Everything was delicious. Only complaint is portions could be bigger. My favs of what we ordered were the Drunken Mama Noodles Grilled Beef and Gang Dang Red Curry Braised Duck. The Khao Pad Blue Crab rice was good too with nice chunks of crab, it just needed some chili sauce for my taste. We came on a packed Friday night so there was a long wait. Maybe come during lunch or on a weeknight to avoid the long wait. Service was great. Very friendly staff. There's a pay parking structure nearby or you can try to find street parking within a block or two.

    Our group was a bit disheartened when we saw that the previous store that was here had sadly closed down. However, we still made our way to try this place, as Thai food was something that sounded really good in the area. Glad to say, this place absolutely rocks! The inside of the restaurant was very cute and slightly minimal. We arrived at about 11:45 AM and got sat fairly quickly by our waitress. She was really nice and took down our orders with a very friendly smile. After about 5 minutes, our first dish, the papaya salad, came out for us to share. The salad was crisp, refreshing, and fairly sweet, not only due to the sweet fish sauce, but also due to the sweet grilled yellow corn. I got the green curry with beef cheeks and I thought it was absolutely divine. The curry was slightly sweet with ample coconut milk, but had a kick with the dried chiles scattered throughout. I also got to try some of the dtom prawn and the mama drunken noodles. Both were also very good, but I think the dtom prawns were really amazing! I would definitely order that if I could next time. Overall, love the food here and can't wait to go back!!

    Stumbled upon Dalah and was intrigued by its modern but authentic take on classic Thái dishes! They have been open less than 2 months and already a line is forming!!! People are telling their friends and through word of mouth, Dalah is already getting the recognition they deserve!! We came to celebrate a birthday and it was perfect. The ambiance was intimate and cozy with warm inviting colors and confortable seating with booth options and pillows. The food was delicious!! They have a simple menu, but all the dishes are heavy hitters in their own right. The proteins offered with the dishes are really well prepared and cooked! The beef and chicken were so tender! I highly recommend ordering a bunch of dishes and doing family style to share! There are just too many you must try! The service was great! Ploy was so lovely and we got to meet one of the owners as well! She was so sweet and told us that her and her husband opened up this restaurant to pay homage to their roots. They asked for feedback but we had no notes, all was done so well. The pad tai had great flavor and I loved the details of the fried pork skin for texture. The pad see ew had that nice char from the wok and were thick and chewy. Fried rice had great texture with large chunks of blue crab. The chicken and beef proteins were so tender and seasoned well. Highly recommend the Nam Tok! The papaya salad was refreshing and had grilled corn which is different. The green curry also had great flavor and I loved how the fried whole fish was already deboned. The mango sticky rice was perfect and came with a coconut ice cream that was the sauce for it! We all had different favorites at the table and still I need to come back out of curiosity to try the rest of the menu! Their chicken wings, grilled shrimp, pork balls and duck curry look amazing as well! What we ordered: Thai Tea Blue crab fried rice Papaya Salad with Grilled Corn Nam Tok Beef Pad See Ew with Beef Pad Thai with Chicken Green Curry with Beef Cheeks Fried Trout that was already deboned Mango Sticky Rice Huge thanks for the hospitality! We'll be back!

    I saw the mango sticky rice and was super excited to try this place. However, they had already run out of mango sticky rice even though dinner service hadn't started that long ago. That was disappointing, but it's still soft opening so I'll come back for it another time. The noodles were the highlight of the meal. The green curry beef cheek was underwhelming, but if you like spice that creeps on you, this one's for you. Parking: underground parking is validated for 30 mins

    ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!…read more I was honestly so impressed. To be fair, I haven't been to many Thai restaurants that I didn't enjoy, but this place really stood out. The quality of the meat was excellent, and every dish was packed with flavor. The service was calm, friendly, and attentive. I was actually surprised by how quiet it was because the food deserves a much bigger crowd. What really blew me away was the portion size for the price. The servings were huge and such a great value. We had enough food to easily feed 5-6 people, and the bill was still incredibly reasonable. I'll definitely be coming back!

The best surprise was finding out that Tuesdays are all plant-based. We had no idea when we ordered, and honestly, what a cool thing to do! The "beef" basil with green beans was so good, and the whole meal left us excited to come back and try more. There's something really special about finding a true neighborhood spot like this.

The service is always friendly and the ambiance is very warm and pleasant. It's a very humble and family/neighborhood oriented space. I would recommend to come visit them early (they open at 11:30) since people do line up to eat here. It's a little small in the main area but they do have another dining area on the other side so seating is in fact plenty! There is street parking right out front but if there's none, not to worry there's a lot of parking in the neighborhood so the walk over is relatively short. We love Miya and can't wait to try their other dishes!

The…read morefact that they were participating in Dine LA was a trigger, to make another visit there for lunch. I tried to invoke the dinner menu, but they were not willing. Not a problem, the lunch menu was equally enticing. A 2-course offering for $25. I started with the Thai Prawn Ceviche. This course was wonderfully balanced, not too acidic, also a nice touch of sweetness and plump flavorful prawns. For the main, my selection was the Beef Truffle Wok-Seared Noodles. I was delighted that they were round noodles and they arrived at my table stirred in a dark sauce with sliced beef pieces on top. A small porcelain decanter was also supplied, containing the truffle oil. I poured it over my noodles. The beef was tender, moist and could be cut with the usual provided table knife. The whole dish was a winner, from start to finish. Service here, as expected, was well executed. Need to be aware of the parking though. There is a public garage around the corner that is advertised for this establishment and a few others. Problem is, that Star Leaf validates only for 1-hour, while their neighbors do so, for 2-hours. I addressed this issue with the manager at my last visit and this time too. The answer I got was not convincing to suggest that they care, or will do something about it, anytime soon. Oh well.

You could really tell the food was made fresh and served hot. The service was friendly and attentive, and the prices were very reasonable, especially for the quality. The restaurant also has a really cute atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a great spot for a casual meal. Great food, great service, great prices, and a charming atmosphere. Definitely a place we'd happily come back to!

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).

If you love Thai food, and you go there once, you will definitely return with more people. Everything that I tried was, very good from their meat, vegetable, noodle dishes, to their soups all excellent, and a great Thai tea. 5 would definitely recommend!

It's not a huge restaurant, but they have a decent number of tables inside and out. When we were there, they had three workers -- one waitstaff and two in the kitchen. Generally, the food came out pretty quickly, which was impressive given that the one person handled all of the tables. The things we got that were pretty good were: pad see ew, pork fried rice, pork hock rice, and kee mao noodles (probably our favorite of everything). The things we got that were okay, but not great, were: beef pepper rice and crispy pork appetizer. Service was friendly. They do have a small lot but I can imagine parking being a challenge if they're busy. Interestingly, they 'borrow' the next door coffee shop's bathrooms. Is it the best Thai restaurant in the area? Probably not. But it's still pretty good and worth trying.

    This Thai restaurant is located E. Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA…read more My family decided to go here for dinner, We parked from the back for more available parking. As we entered from the back, I could see you can sit outside patio too, I was very amazed at all of the unique authentic decorations. This Thai restaurant is super clean & their restrooms, highly organized & attention to details. As we are seated I can tell this is a very arm, friendly, chic, classy and elegant place! Neung was our waitress, she asked if we had any questions and we did! She answered them all beautifully. There are some many dishes to choose from : Appetizers, Soups, Salads, Curries, Stir Fry & Veggies, Fried Rice, Pan Fried Noodles, Noodles Soups, Grilled BBQ, Cold & Hot drinks, Pot of Tea, beer, white & red wines, desserts. They also have lunch specials here too! We order appetizers egg rolls, Tofu soup small, Panang Beef with white rice , Pad see ew tofu, no egg, no broccoli substitute carrots. Their portions are great here & so was their prices! Everything was delicious, mouthwatering! I never had a big chunk of tofu in my soup before, but it's was so delicious with the broth! Neung was making sure if we needed anything , she was on it! Neung was so very polite, sweet, caring , king, very genuine, down to earth! Neung has this positive upbeat energy about herself that really radiates! She is Shining Star! Her shine will never fade! Please treasure her greatly! I would love to Thank Neung for fantastic & memorable visit! I would also like to thank the other workers who helped us ! Thank you Daisy Ming for a wonderful visit ! I'll definitely tell all my family & friends to come and visit! Please be kind and courteous to these hard workers!

    Pad see ew was very good. A bit sweeter than I'm used to but we still cleared the plate! 4/5…read more Khao soi had an herbaly flavor to it which I wasn't used to. It was good but now how I prefer khao soi- 3.5/5 stars. Beef salad was wonderful. Beef tender and flavorful with some red onions and romaine lettuce. Flavor 5/5, execution 3.5/5. 7 slices of beef and romaine didn't do it for me. The dressing was incredible but I wish there would have been some tomato or cucumber or Thai eggplant in there to make it filling. Tables were far enough apart I felt comfortable and the decor was very cute. Small inside but cozy. Parking on the street and the hospitality was out of this world. Varee is exceptional and was the best server. I felt like I was with family and wouldn't hesitate to come back again when in the area. Her Thai tea was also fantastic - not overly sweet, just right. Aroy Dee!

    Ordered for takeout and it was ready right on time when I arrived. The packaging was nicely done…read moreand the staff handing the food was friendly. 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.

    Hands down one of my favorite local take out joints. The food here is fantastic! Loaded with lots…read moreof flavor and zapp! I can't recommend this place enough. Here are my families favorites: Yellow chicken curry (mild) Spicy wings (they have a sweet chili glaze ) Pad Thai combination (with a lil extra sauce) Rad Na noodles (gravy is tasty!) Chicken Satay (ooh that peanut sauce is ) Papaya salad (brings a nice freshness and crunch!) Mango sticky rice (light coconut flavor and light sweetness, so good!) Even for a sit down restaurant, the ambiance is nice here too. Just small inside, so not ideal for large parties. The staff is very friendly too!

Seriously, the food is truly…read moreoutstanding -- spicy flat rice noodle with beef (pad kee mao) is not overcooked like some other places ("Thai Central" in Thai Town) and has the familiar texture and 'wok air' of the Cantonese beef chow fun. The traditional pad thai is also excellent. But our favorite is the Thai curry bowl (comes with white rice)....it's the curry dish for people who don't like curry...it's that good! The satay chicken skewers are a perfect appetizer.

    Smaller place than look in the picture. We got there in time with a biggest table near the entrance…read morethat 2 guests were able to leave in a minute. We've 5 people which fit well for that table of 6. Food portions are little small for that price. Taste was not bad but nothing that had made me remember. Only thing was Pad Thai noodles were pretty good & chewy in texture so not too bad. The chicken skewers were not much flavor & dry. Dishes were a bit oily. It's pricy for their portion & probably not returning for that & flavors weren't kicking. DID I MENTION ADDING BEEF (chicken is free) TOPPING TO CURRY ORDER IS +$3 & SEAFOOD I think was $8! Another thing was unhappy with them is CHARGING 20% MANDATORY TIPS! So be careful & read before you pay! We came because of Moom 48 closed today/Monday! They've better price, normal to bigger portions of food, haven't tried their lunch special yet & much bigger restaurant than here.
