    Pad Thai and Sweet and sour chicken
    sonia l.

    First time trying this place out today. My city no longer has a Thai food restaurant and this was the next closet shop. I ordered the Pad Thai Chicken and sweet and sour chicken. The food was so fresh especially the onions and bell peppers on sweet and sour chicken. I love that the menu was small because I'm sure they have perfected each plate. Definitely coming back. Oh great customer service on top. Friend smile when I walked in.

    I recommend this place so much, I was around here and I stop for a quick bite and found this nice place " the delicious smell walk me in to it " I ask the person who was attending and he patiently explain to me all the dishes and what ingredients they put on them so I picked up the drunken noodle and it was more delicious than I expected today stopped again and he recommended the " Thai spicy chicken " # 8 in the menu it was so good, I'm looking forward to go eat something else and I highly recommend it it's affordable, clean and best of all delicious. I'll leave you here the pic of today

    Exceptional, customer, service, with authentic outstanding food. If I can give 10 stars, I would. If your looking for Thai food, I highly recommend this spot. If your dish isn't up to par, they will make it right customer service at its finest, how it should be. I will be coming back next time I crave Thai food. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

    A lot of noodles...Pad See Ew

    The place is connected to the donut shop next door. I believe the donut owner's son runs this shop. As mentioned by others the menu is limited but they had my favorite Thai dish, pad see ew. I noticed that they use Chinese broccoli so that was a plus. I ordered a side of rice as well. It was a lot of food when I got back to the office. The flavor of the food was good but it was a little dry so the noodles were stuck together so it was difficult to eat. I wish they would've put more of the broccoli in the dish.

    Came here for a quick lunch while at work and everything about this place blew me away! The person behind the counter was extremely nice and the food was fantastic. I look forward to eating my way through their entire menu in the future!

    Shrimp fried rice

    Very good food been coming here since they opened!!!!! Staff is friendly and the place is always clean, quiet with a good atmosphere!!!!!!

    Wow, what a hole in the wall! Definitely a gem and I am so glad I dropped in. Was in the area shopping at Lowe's and craving some Thai food, so I decided to swing by and pick some up for the family. I have to say, I love Drunken Noodles and usually go to a place near Hollywood in Thai town but THIS is my new go to! Perfect balance all around and just enough spice so it allows you to absorb the mouthful full of flavor in this dish. Besides Drunken Noodles, I also ordered sweet and sour chicken, pad Thai, and shrimp fried rice. It was solid all around. The prices for the portion of food definitely worth it. Also, the owner was super friendly and approachable. He was helpful with his recommendation which was spot on. Looking forward until next time, I'll be back soon to try other menu items and the drunken noodle. Ooh yeah, pretty neat plaza as well, able to get food and dessert in the same plaza as there's a donut shop next door.

    Holy sh*t this place is good! Very well made noodles at strip mall prices. They don't hold back on the spices and seasoning. If you can't handle some nice heat in your Thai, it's not for you. I would have liked more gai lan in my drunken noodles, but all good. The flavor and execution is there. Pico Riverans finally have the Thai food they deserve. Will go back for more.

    Pad Thai Noodle

    This is a small and clean place with tasty Thai food; always made fresh. There's something for everyone, as they offer tofu, chicken, beef, and shrimp. My favorite is #1 Pad Thai; it is flavorful and delicious! Their prices are pretty reasonable and their portions are not small. The guy taking orders (and answering the phone) is nice and welcoming. Definitely recommend this lunch spot.

    Pad see ew

    Chicken bad see ew is not very flavorful and most of the noodles are stuck together. Service was great though. Quick.

    Chicken Pad Thai

    This is an awesome hole in the wall Thai fast food spot. This is a newer restaurant that opened in Montebello and it is is great. The Pad Thai that I ordered was perfect. I also ordered a side of rice and between the Pad Thai and rice my wife and I were both full. The only thing that I would say is to ask for an extra wedge of lime. The flavors were really enhanced with lime and fresh onions and bean sprouts. It was actually refreshing and a joy to eat. Highly recommended.

    I wasn't expecting a single beef rib to be this impressive. The first thing that caught my…read moreattention was the size. It looked like something straight out of a food show. Thankfully, the taste lived up to the appearance. The meat was incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. It came right off the bone without falling apart completely, which gave it a really satisfying texture. What I liked most was that the beef itself was the star of the dish. It had a rich, smoky flavor and didn't rely on heavy seasoning or sauce to stand out. The lime wedges on the side were a surprisingly good addition and helped balance the richness of the meat. This was one of those dishes that made everyone at the table stop talking for a moment and just enjoy the food. Definitely the most memorable thing I ordered at Good Alley, and I would come back just for this beef rib.

    Came to Good Alley and overall it was a really solid experience…read more Food was great, everything we ordered came out fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. It's the kind of spot where even simple dishes feel satisfying and consistent, and nothing felt like a miss. Love their XLBs! The restaurant was also noticeably clean, including the bathroom, which was well maintained and better than expected. There is however a long wait, me and my friend ended up waiting an hour one time, and 1.5 hour another time. Parking can be a bit limited during peak meal hours since the plaza has a lot of other popular eateries, so it might take a little patience to find a spot if you come during rush time. Outside of that, it's manageable. Service was friendly and efficient even when it was busy, and the overall vibe was welcoming.

Similar to the one in Arcadia, the process is exactly the same, maybe even quicker here. Their menu can change time to time, in which I was interested in trying their new selections. Parking - Free in a huge shared parking lot, very spacious but can get packed easily. My partner and I visited during a packed Friday evening but diners clear out pretty quick after their done with their meal. I was able to try their new menu selection, the Bolognese Bowl. I absolutely devoured this dish. It's very similar to a spaghetti type dish in which I was very impressed. Mixed with the slight broth, noodles, and sauce, it was very creamy and very easy to savor. Each bite is full of flavor. Highly recommend this new menu selection! They also have a selection of tempura options, not really a big fan of tempura overall but I'd have a tempura once in awhile. This time around, my wife got me the shrimp one. Very tasty, crunchy, and easy to eat. Overall, a great addition to SGV, udon can be easily made but can also be hard as well if you don't know what you're doing. Marugame Udon is the perfect option for Udon, can't really go wrong with them as they have plenty of options to your liking.
