I always order from here when I'm craving Thai food in the area. Everyone is always super friendly and that makes me want to give them even more support! So far I've tried their pineapple fried rice, Thai fried rice, Shrimp pad thai, and mango sticky rice. All are super delicious and come in generous portions and very nicely packaged. Their thai tea is also super refreshing. read more

Dancing Spoons - Thai Tea - Thai Near Me - San Gabriel, California

This was a great find... Small little spot in the mission district of San Gabriel. The food I prefer was delicious! I was so pleasantly surprised. I got the lettuce wrap larb-medium, spicy basil chicken and chicken satay bowl. The lab was so tasty but the medium was so spicy! I would tone it down a bit next time, but the flavor was just delicious. One of the best larb I've had. The spicy basil chicken was good, a little sweet and spicy but it was good. I had gotten full from the larb I took that to eat later on at work. My son enjoyed the chicken satay. We were very much satisfied and will be returning to enjoy it again. read more

Great food and great price, fast service.The ambiance is really nice! I recommended..

Dancing Spoons - Pad Krapow Chicken & Som Tum Medium spicy. Perfection - Thai Near Me - San Gabriel, California

This place was a standard thai place in my opinion - we got the tofu yellow curry and spicy basil chicken bowl. Tofu yellow curry was alright, I felt it could have used more spice, it seemed a bit watery to me. The spicy basil chicken bowl was standard, I felt the chicken could have been better as well (either larger pieces or perhaps with some sauce) Overall, it's a place I would say is a quick grab and go if I'm in the mood for thai. read more

This is the BEST pad Thai I have EVER tried in my entire LIFE. The inside is cute, and has a comfortable outside patio.

Dancing Spoons - This is the Pad Thai with beef. This is the BEST pad Thai I have EVER tried in my ENTIRE life!! - Thai Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Their food is delicious. The price is reasonable. Great organization and detailed . Service was ok. They are not that friendly.

The service was GREAT and the mango sticky rice was super delicious! The mango was super ripe and sweet and the rice had the perfect salty edge to it. It could use a bit more of the coconut sauce, but other than that it was absolutely amazing! The ambiance was great and calm with minimal music playing the background. The interior was also nicely decorated with additional seating outside. read more

Dancing Spoons - Mango Sweet Sticky Rice With Mango - Thai Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Everything is definitely a must on the menu! It's very cute and quaint! Off the beaten path near SG mission!

An amazing piece of Bangkok nestled in the San Gabriel Mission! As you walked in you will be greeted by the friendly staff/owner and the miniature fruit stand that you would find in Bangkok. I ordered the Spicy Chicken Rice Bowl and the Coconut Palm Juice. Oh my!! The rice bowl brought my tastebuds back to the street in Phuket. I was hesitant to try the Coconut Palm Juice but decided last minute. Let me tell you, it was a must for this LA summer! Must try when you are looking for a taste of Bangkok during lunch. read more

Was looking for Japanese curry in my area and this little gem popped up. FOOD: Pretty good overall. The tonkatsu curry (4/5) was just as expected. The tonkatsu was good and the curry itself was not bad. Not the best Japanese curry I've had but good enough to return. The beef bowl (3.5/5) was on the drier side and probably something I wouldn't order again since there are so many other choices. The chicken karage (4/5) was pretty flavorful and satisfying. But again, not the best karage I've ever had. The pad see ew (4.5/5) was probably the best thing I ordered today and close to one of the best I've had. Not too oily and great flavor. SERVICE: Place is tiny so I got my food to go. Based on interaction on the phone and picking the food up, service was good. LOCATION: Located in a small strip mall with limited parking, I was able to find parking right in front on MLK day. NOTEWORTHY: This place is a fusion of Japanese and Thai cuisine, pretty interesting to be able to get these two flavor profiles from the same restaurant. Will definitely be back to try other dishes! read more

Food is ok. But i went the other day, ordered Pad see eww with tofu, and an order of eggrolls. They charged my credit card 70.40. That is NOT ok. MAKE SURE TO CHECK YOUR RECEIPT FOR CREDIT CARD!!!!! RIP OFF read more

Hidden gem! I've tried a LOT of Thai food in the 626 but I just discovered this one recently. The food is solid - flavorful, big proportions, and it's reasonably priced. The place is clean and had cute decorations if you decide to dine-in. It's right by the Mission so you can walk around after. We ordered the Pad See Ew and Pad Thai (classics), but we're definitely going to try the other items - especially the happy hour items. Happy Hour is M-F 2-4PM! Definitely coming back! read more

I made the mistake of not ordering their Thai food, which is probably their specialty. I ordered the Japanese food, which the wife said tasted like Yoshinoya beef and rice. However, the star of the show was the Mango and Sticky Rice, which made all the difference in the world. Next time I'll remember to order their Thai and Indonesian food, which is probably much more flavorful. read more

Ordered through ChowNow and gave them an extra five minutes on top of pick up time. When I arrived, they admitted they did not check the ChowNow and did not have my order ready. I wanted a refund because I couldn't wait, but they were unable to make this happen since the sister who takes care of this was not present. I would recommend calling them when you send in a ChowNow order, which means their attention to detail is lacking. I ended up just having to wait for the order since I couldn't trust I would be refunded. This was my first visit here so I have no previous visits to compare. Their food looks good, but I can't give them a recommendation based on this experience, especially if you are pressed for time. read more

Yummy food got it to go n was still super good idk why they need me to write more that's all there is to it good Thai food

Review is only for takeout orders on the food. - The food had the right portions and tasted great. - The seasoning for the Thai food was done just right without being overly flavorful. Safe for people with MSG sensitivity like myself. - My service experience was through a phone call and they were really accommodating in putting the spices on the side. Good attitude and was helpful. Ordered: Spicy Thai Basil Chicken with rice, Tom Yum Noodle Soup, Pad Thai with shrimp, Pad See Ew. All food items were delicious. Support small businesses and dine at Dancing Spoons. Their food won't disappoint. read more

A small restaurant, nice service, food is good. Nice experience. Definitely coming back when we want to eat Thai food.

This is a really cute restaurant/cafe with good Japanese and Thai food. The inside looks more like it would be a cute bakery rather than the restaurant it is. The cost when considering the quality and taste is amazing. The Thai entrees we got came with a lovely fresh green salad with a vaguely peanut buttery dressing and a crispy vegetable egg roll. ***** My husband got the Beef Pad See Ew with an added fried egg. He loved it. The quality of the beef for the cost was simply amazing. ***** I got the Tom Yum Noodle Soup-Thai spicy. It wasn't that spicy and I prefer it to be a little bit more flavorful but still was a nice bowl of soup. We got the Takoyaki appetizer. Delicious! ***** Finally. I got the Tonkatsu Curry to go. Pork cutlet was crispy and delicious! I thought the curry could use a little more flavor but I could easily see myself getting this again. Overall, a wonderful experience! read more

A great local place with great Thai and Japanaese options! I've only had the beef bowl here, but it delights my tastebuds every time! The only qualm I have is that the beef bowl has an high rice ratio, so if you do get the beef bowl, order it with extra meat (cost will be extra) but you'll thank me for it later! I can taste the mouth watering savory cooked in meat taste you can only get with a homemade recipe! The beef bowl is similar in style like the ones at Yoshinoya, as well as the side of boiled vegetables, but this bowl here is on a whole another level! Chain restaurants could learn a thing or two from this place! Service is friendly and the space is clean- with it's affordable pricing, and and amazing beef bowl, I will be back to try their other delicious sounding plates! Next door is Nomad Ice Pops for a another homemade sweet treat! read more

Super cute little restaurant and a great place to catch up with friends. I really loved their pad Thai and their katsu curry is probably one of the best I've had. Their katsu has really flaky, crunchy breading that also tastes really light. Usually when I eat curry katsu, sometimes I can feel very bloated or heavy after eating, but after eating here I felt very refreshed! Their meat was juicy and the curry was flavorful and had great consistency. Both 10/10 and they gave us side salads for both of the meals which was a really nice surprise :) read more

3 stars for service. They were fast and very nice! As for the food 1 star we got Tom yom noodle soup and shrimp Pad Thai. I was really disappointed because of the lack of flavor and quality of the food. I really wanted to like the food but it wasn't what I was expecting. Tom yom noodle soup: really sour soup and dry pork. There noodles were stuck together even when mixed with the soup. I didn't like the texture of the noodles and I ended up not even finishing most of it. Shrimp Pad Thai: again, noodles were not the best and were stuck together. It had a weird flavor and didn't taste authentic. read more

Gotta say THAT GREEN THAI TEA!!!!! This is one of my FAVORITE drinks that I rarely see and here it was! Definitely was my favorite thing here and it was so yum! Not too sweet either which I really appreciated. And the cups were cute! Okay onto the other stuff - personally, I thought the portions are big! I was worried about that when reading other's reviews, but my partner and I had plenty of leftovers afterwards. So definitely worth the price! Since the price is already cheap compared to other thai places. We got the crab rangoon, spicy basil chicken, and shrimp pad thai. Not sure if the crab rangoon actually had any crab though, but I thought they were great as cream cheese rangoon. The spicy basil chicken was just okay for me since I'm not usually a basil chicken person. I could do with more spice and flavor since it's on the light side, but the chicken and basil ratio was good and very fresh! The shrimp pad thai was my favorite out of all the food we got. I liked that it wasn't overly sweet like most thai places make it and something about it was just super nostalgic for me. Also it had that wok hei feeling which was super yuuumm!! Service was also really nice as well! After walking in and greeted the waitress, she asked if it was our first time which we said yes and she then proceeded to give recommendations on the menu which was really helpful. And also came by our table later to ask if we wanted any chili sauces which actually helped give me more of the spice I was wanting. She also mentioned that they just opened about a month ago so the menu may be changing a little bit here and there so be on the lookout! Overall, I feel like this place felt really homey with the vibes and the food. I can't wait to come back and try their other food! read more

Came here and was surprised how good the food is here. I got the chicken pad kee mao and the veggie egg rolls. The egg rolls have a unique sweet sauce that I never had before. It's really good and must try. It came with 4x total and they were still piping hot when I got back to my apartment. They were inside of a nice aluminum container. As for the pad kee mao, I really liked the flavors and how the dish was served. The to go box is eco friendly and I liked the portions. I got spicy hot and each bite was enjoyable. I would return back here to try the other dishes. read more

Found this cute little spot through word of mouth. I went for a quick lunch with my mom on a weekday and the service was phenomenal. The owner's sister greeted us and promptly took our order. We didn't know what to order, so she recommended a few dishes for us. We ended up ordering the pad kee Mao, pad see ew, and Thai tea. Both dishes were delicious and the pad kee mao had a good amount of spice to it! Thai tea was large and wasn't overly sweet, which I appreciated. Prices were affordable for the portion sizes. I would definitely come back again for the great and fast service and yummy food! read more

This place just opened last Friday and I see lots of potential here. Came here for lunch as they are in their Soft opening stage. Cute simple decors inside with four small tables outside in the patio area. Very attentive and friendly owners/employees. We ordered the Shrimp Pad Thai and Massaman Curry. Yummy food served at piping hot temperature. Cute to-go containers. The menu is small but sufficient for a small take out place in this centrally located plaza across from the mission. Reasonable prices. We will be back again. read more

Stopped by because I was craving Thai food and especially just returning from my trip from Thailand I wanted to try this place out. I walked in and looked at the menu and noticed that it's more of a Thai/Japanese place. I ordered the spicy basil chicken and a Thai tea. About 8.95 for the dish and 4.50 for the Thai tea. My expectation might have been a bit high but not really a fan of their spicy basil chicken. The dish wasn't spicy at all and their twist and take on this dish (pad krapow) had onions and red/green bell peppers. Overall, I'd come back but not anytime soon. read more

Dancing Spoons - Spicy basil chicken - Thai Near Me - San Gabriel, California

I saw a new Thai restaurant nearby, and I decided I had to give it a try. Dancing Spoons has only had a few reviews so far, so my guess is that it has only been open for a few weeks. It's a very small space, so I decided to order carry out. Looking through all their menu items, their massaman chicken looked pretty good, so that's what I ended up ordering. The curry was really good, slightly on the sweeter side. There was a slight spicy kick, but not too much for me to handle. I wish they had used dark meat chicken instead of white meat chicken, I think thigh meat goes really well with massaman curry. I also wish they had more sauce, because it was so good. Overall, solid Thai restaurant. Not the best I've ever had, but definitely good. read more

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
