Terrible service. Placed an order online and was given a wait time of 30 minutes. The estimated wait time should've been more transparent. I selected to pick up ASAP but didn't find out it would be 30 minutes until AFTER placing our order which was disappointing since we were hungry. To make matters worse, after getting there at our pickup time, they claim they never got our order??? Not sure how that's possible since somehow they managed to print out our order with our items without asking our order number. Just say you forgot instead of making up an excuse. Waited 15 more minutes for my food. Total wait was 45 minutes. Note that it was relatively empty other than 1 or 2 pickup orders. We got tonkatsu curry and beef pad see ew. Tonkatsu was dry and tough. The pad see ew lacked in flavor. Will not be coming here again. read more

Cute little spot, they are doing soft opening so be prepared to wait or order ahead because it took about 45mins for my 2 to-go order. You order first and then you sit for dine in if you choose. The girl that took my order was super nice, very social-able. Had the appetizer chicken, Tom yum noodles, and Thai ice tea. The appetizer came with sticky rice, papaya salad, and the 4 fried chicken wings. They chicken was tasty but it was a bit dry, nice flavor from the papaya salad. The Tom yum soup had a nice little kick if you like spicy, just what to expect from Tom yum is the nice lemongrass taste. The to go container is really cute soup at the bottom and noodles on top (stackable to go container) keeping everything warm. The Thai ice tea was very good, very tasty you could still taste the tea and not just the cream. I will come back for the other items, but will order ahead next time. read more

I've been wanting to try this place after finding out it's a Thai restaurant. It's a strange location and I thought it was a dance studio. The place is small and not suited for dine-in. We ordered take out Pad Thai, egg rolls, karaage chicken and mango sticky rice. Pad Thai was excellent. It had a good flavor and was substantial. Egg rolls were good but could have been previously frozen to me, not sure. Karaage chicken was somewhat dry and the chicken thigh was a bit stringy. The flavor was good but it may have been overcooked. Mango sticky rice is a favorite. The rice and mango was very good. However, the coconut milk syrup was barely 1/2 filled on a small plastic container the kind hot sauce comes in. Next time will have to ask for more coconut milk. Menu pricing is reasonable. read more

Cute little family owned spot! The BEST Thai iced tea I ever had!! Got to try the pad Thai, beef pad see ew, veggie egg rolls and chicken massaman curry which were all absolutely delicious! The owner is so sweet and made sure we were enjoying our meal. There's plenty of street parking and seats outside to enjoy your food. The packaging is great and keeps everything fresh until it is time to eat. The portion sizes were also really great for the price. Can't wait to go back and try more of the dishes!! read more

It's a hidden gem. Didn't know they have opened for three years and I just found them today. I was craving some good pad Thai and Thai tea today. Decide to bring my family for a try. Ordered a shrimp pad Thai, chicken satay rice and pineapple fried rice. It is delicious!! The good thing about here is that their service is great even though it is small. Will definitely come back again. Thank you for the chicken fried rice to go for my kids :) read more

Great, tasty food. Quick, friendly service. Surprisingly fair pricing. Solid restaurant.

Went in today and had my order instantly taken. Had the dirty Thai tea which was really good. Definitely nice on a hot summer day and ordered the beef bowl. It was during happy hour that I came in so saved a few $. Inside is nice and cozy albeit a bit small. there's seating on the outside though in case you couldn't find any inside. The food itself was comparable to yoshinoyas beef bowl though but just higher quality. read more

Located in the Mission District, Dancing Spoons is a wonderful Thai restaurant addition to the area. Getting straight to the point, their food exceeded all my expectations! The noodle dishes in particular (Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles) were both generous portions and great taste without being too oily. Not to mention only $11-12, which I was amazed by for a new restaurant in this day and age. The mango sticky rice and Thai coffee were also delicious! It seems like a great locally owned family business that I would come back multiple times to support. There is limited indoor and outdoor seating (about 5-6 people each). Free street parking is relatively easy to find in the area. read more

I was walking around the mission area with my family and we saw Dancing Spoons! I wanted to check it out and I'm glad we did. The service is wonderful! Everyone was so kind to us and sweet to my daughter. We took a look at the menu and decided to get some pork gyoza as a snack. We originally got it for to go but wanted to have one while it was fresh but it was so tasty we finished it there. The gyoza sauce is special and fresh. We are excited to try more from Dancing Spoons . It definitely seems like a hidden gem. read more

So glad we found this little spot just across from the Mission! Yummy, authentic Thai food with cozy indoor and outdoor seating. So far we've tried the Shrimp Pad Thai, Beef Pad See Ew, and Thai Boat Noodles, and all are amazing. Can't go wrong with the Thai Tea here either. Service is also on point. We've been a couple times and it's now our go-to for Thai! read more

Dancing Spoon is my go-to restaurant for Tom Yum and Thai Iced Green Tea, so good. The worker is super friendly and humble when walking into the restaurant. I'm so glad they are near the mission. Play some Pokemon Go Community Day and stop by to eat and get a drink. I love Thai tea, and I am picky about it, but I recommend getting it at Dancing Spoon. read more

Really cute place, went with my friend who was craving Thai food. Got the spicy chicken bowl, which is basically Ka Prao with chicken. They add a fried egg on top, which is amazing. Mango sticky rice is amazing. Gyozo amazing. Would come here again. Soon. read more

Finally! Excellent Thai food at a reasonable price and great service in my neighborhood. We heard about this new place from SGV Eats and we love to promote independent restaurants, so we had to try today. We had: *Lettuce Wrap Larb- made with minced chicken. I absolutely LOVE how the dish is served slightly de-constructed. The top layer container had the larb & its juices, the bottom container had the fresh, crisp lettuce cups. Flavors of the larb were spicy, citrusy and the chicken was very tender. In the future, I will ask them to rough chop the lettuce for me so I can eat it like a salad. Larb is a bit too juicy to wrap without spilling, lol. *Sweet Garlic Pork with rice- like our other dish, this was served with the rice in the bottom cup and the rest up top. This really helps keep everything from running together. The meat was tender and flavorful. We did feel the need to spice it up with a bit of sriracha, but that's just us. *Fried Tofu, Gyoza, Thai Iced Tea- tofu sliced thin and flash fried to crispy (YUM), gyoza tasted homemade with light wrapper, delicate filling and love. Best part of the Thai tea is it's not too sweet. I hate when I can't taste the tea because there's so much sweetness. This was *perfect* and I'll try the Thai coffee next time. Welcome to the neighborhood. See you next week! read more

Everything was fresh and delicious. I pass by this place so many times so I decided to try it one day. I love small mama papa shops so I gave it a chance. I ordered my food through Yelp and it was so easy. I stoped by and picked up my food for lunch. I order items for my coworkers and I and we were pleasantly surprised how everything tasted. I will definitely come back for more read more

Great food and service. I come here a few times a week. The food is very consistent. Always get extra beef in your beef bowl. Shrimp Pad Thai and Basil Chicken are great dishes also. read more

Sooo amazing. Called in my take out order and the employee was really courteous and helpful. They dont have their menu online currently but i asked her to recommend me a few popular items. Shrimp pad thai, tom yum noodle soup and sweet garlic pork. The food came in cute containers and was marked accordingly. Pad thai was amazing and spicy. Cane with these dried chilies which BEWARE pack some heat! Tom yum noodle soup was very flavorful with lots of noodles! The garlic pork was very garlicky and the dish came with broccoli and cabbage. The thai green tea? Bomb. A mix between matcha and jasmine milk tea. If you love green teas you need to try it. Comes in this cute square drink container. Very cute shop with good size portions for either 1-2 people. Give it a try and support small businesses!!! read more

Came here after finding this place on yelp. I work nearby so thought I'd give it a try for lunch. The cashier was nice and friendly and patient with me trying to decide what I wanted to order. I ended up getting their sweet pork entree, shrimp pad Thai, and Thai tea. It was kind of small inside but had a chill ambiance. The Thai tea hit the spot and the food was pretty good. I'll definitely give them another try. read more

Dancing Spoons - Spicy pad thai - Thai Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Everything is really fresh and tasty! My husband and I usually like to get their spicy basil chicken rice, larb, and pad see ew. All of which are so good and have such different, distinct, and delicious tastes. The pad see ew is a little snotty and is filled with flavor. The larb, which I highly recommend, is so so fresh, and one of the best that I've had compared to other Thai restaurants I've been to. The spicy basil chicken is just a solid dish and perfect for when you want something comforting and hearty. Definitely recommend Dancing Spoons. read more

I've recently come across this literal hole in the wall through a work luncheon and I've been obsessed since, their food is so flavorful and the portions are just perfect, not too much and not too little. I've been enjoying how close it is to my work, and how quickly the meals are prepared (perfect for lunch breaks), even though there are only two tables inside they set up a couple tables outside as well. The workers are so attentive, always stopping by to ask how you're doing and if you're enjoying the meal. I highly recommend this place! You'll alway want to come back. read more

Last week I was craving soup and remembered Dancing spoon was on my list to try. I called in my order and was told it was 20 minutes. I ordered the larb and Tom yum noodles. I love the packaging. The larb was good and had a kick to it. It was very refreshing. The noodles were soooooo good. I loved it. It was a good portion too. I will definitely be adding this place to my lunch rotation. I got a Thai iced tea and it was really good. read more

Staff was very friendly i'll be back. read more

So good! I had this for the first time and had to come back for seconds the same week!

Came in for lunch today. I love that they're new and family run. Everything about this place is so cute. I love the food, especially the pad thai. The pad thai is delicious, definitely a great balance of sweet and savory, while hitting all my others taste buds. I also really love the papaya salad and it gives me enough of a kick without it being overpowering. Also really love their drinks (Thai green tea is my favorite). Their cups are so cute too! Their spicy basil chicken is quite good (coming from someone who doesn't like basil). I'm definitely coming back for more pad thai and also gotta have to try their tom yum noodle soup. Great opportunity to support local business and enjoy food made with lots of love and hard work. The family really loves and care about their food. read more

Shrimp pad Thai was excellent. The cook puts attention to details. They even peel the shrimp all the way back to the tip of the tail. Overall really impressed and would come back. The prices are also really reasonable compared to other restaurants during the pandemic. And it's a good amount of food as well the depth of the bowls hides the side pretty well. read more

The sign outside says it's the Soft Opening. The service here is pretty good, very friendly. The menu is a bit hard to see if you eyesight isn't as good though. The interior is really clean and there's 4 bar seats and 1 table for 2 people. There's also a fridge with drinks like Jaritos, San Peligrino, Spendrift, Sprite, Coca cola cans, Dasani water bottles. Shrimp Pad Thai ($10.95) Good portions for the price. Comes with crushed peanut and chili crisps in 2 other separate plastic containers and a lime wedge. It strikes a good balance between sweet, sour, and savory (some prefer more tamarind sauce but I find that this is a nice balance). Adding all the chili crisps in really enhances the flavor with its spiciness. The noodles are nice and chewy, not too soft. Tom Yum Noodle Soup ($10.95) Great for a cold day. The noodles come separate from the soup so it doesn't get soggy during takeout, but since it's a top compartment in the container, it still stays warm. The sour and savoriness is quite nice. It also comes with chili crisps and a lime wedge. Takoyaki ($5.50) Decent, not sure why I decided to go for Takoyaki at a thai restaurant. It was still a bit crispy for takeout. I liked that they keep the pickled ginger outside, since I'm not that big of a fan of ginger overpowering the takoyaki flavor. The thai green tea is quite nice too, not overly sweet and the tea flavor really shines through still. read more

Ordered the beef pad see ew, pork pad kee mao, and chicken masaman curry. The flavors were on point but they're really stingy with the meat. The noodle dishes were all noodle with five small pieces of meat each. The curry was all onion and potato with barely any chicken or carrot. I wondered if we went on an off day, or that's to be expected from this restaurant. Such a bummer since we were excited to try it from an IG "influencer" I follow. read more

Sooo yummy!! My favorite spot for Thai food! The service and the pad thai are definitely my favorite. The seating is so cute too!

Good food. It has quality and real Thai taste. Too bad they don't make Thai pork jerky. But I will be back for sure.

Clean but food a bit too salty. Will try another dish and see if it's consistently salty. Will give it another chance.

My wife and I found this place tonight and found it to be a wonderful treat. We ordered the pad see ew, the papaya salad, the chicken curry, and a Thai tea. All items were delicious and we will definitely be going back. The items were flavorful and a good amount of spice. Portions were more than enough for the two of us. Loved the outdoor seating too, with a great view of the Mission. read more

Such a great place to grab a quick bite to eat. I came here during lunch/ dinner several times already. I love their Spicy Basil Chicken and Tom Yum Noddle Soup! They're both delicious. It taste authentic and has the right amount of kick to it. I like how they can make adjustment to the spice level and ingredients. Portion is good too cause it always filled me up. And lastly, the staffs are super friendly and helpful. A little gem of restaurant in the San Gabriel Valley. Can't wait to go back to try other things on the menu. read more
