Delicious food great service super easy to order on the app! and the pictures are accurate! All four plates that we got were delicious! Chowmein, rice, orange chicken and chili basil! My new favorite place! Recommend to order! Will plan on doing takeout aging soon! read more

I love this place so much I hope in the future though that they give a little bit more with their portions because I paid 60 bucks last time for two orange chickens and they don't even feel it halfway but whatever this place is so bomb and I'll always come here because it just tastes so fresh and amazing read more

I love everything I order from there, but the coconut ice cream is the best I've ever tasted. I'm so glad I found a good, local, and affordable Thai food restaurant! I've tried others near here, this is my favorite. read more

They are definitely short in staff I guess. We saw only 2 people managing everything. Good for casual dinner. Food is kind of okay. Other Thai restaurants in the locality serves much better. read more

Ordered Pineapple Fried Rice with Shrimp and the Broccoli and Carrots with Beef lunch special.. Fried rice is delicious and flavorful but disappointed to pay extra for shrimp and only get 6 pieces in my large dish. Broccoli special is also good, but not amazing. Overall, it's decent food for the price but not my favorite Thai spot! read more

I went once before and just remembered that it was good. Nothing over the top that I can point out. That was maybe a few years ago? Iono. I forget. I got take out a few days ago- yellow curry w rice and fat thighs (pad thai) that yellow curry was BOMB ASS. I loved the sauce so much that i made steamed rice for the next 2 days and ate it for days after. yummmyyy the pad thai was ok. nothing too special, but still good. I give 5 stars cause the lady was nice and its always dead there- hehe antisocial me- its about a 10/15 min drive from my house which sucks but not a problem because the thai places near my house are kinda crappy. read more

Having been coming here for years since they opened. Never had a bad experience. Today for the first time I tried the Thai Green Papaya salad. Fell in love! It's a tiny bit sweet, sour and spicy. This combination of flavors exploded in my mouth with every bite. I loved the green papaya texture, slightly firm and holds the bold flavors well. The cilantro adds additional kick. Yumm!!!! read more

A local client/buddy claims this spot as one of his top lunch choices. I put my lunch choices in his hands as he and his brother reeled off their favorites to the waitress. Some type of "beef jerky" with a dipping sauce, chicken Tom Kha soup, seafood fried rice, and a couple more dishes. Nothing was outstanding but all of dishes were on par with other good Thai places. Very good service, the place was not overly crowded, the drinks were topped off and the prices were quite fair. For a strip mall, a good value and decent food close to work. read more

I usually this place because it's very convenient and just down the street from me. I don't care for the blanched chicken that is used for their dishes, no flavor. I understand and know they probably do that to save time in cooking the dishes. It usually tastes better the next day, when it sits overnight it absorbs all the yummy sauce. But meat tastes better when you cook all the ingredients together to absorb all the flavors. read more

Been here multiple times with family during the pandemic. Tables are spaced apart & the food is very good. It's small and you might have to wait if they're busy, but the attention to food is noticeable. My 87 yr old mom gets the seafood hotpot soup with clear broth (we order mild but you can request medium or spicy). It's chock full of fish, shrimp, mussels, crab, & squid & the broth is wonderfully seasoned with lemongrass & lime juice. Their black rice is to die for! It is so fragrant with a lovely purple hue, definitely worth the extra charge! We always get the pineapple fried rice & eggplant basil, so flavorful! read more

Ordered their Pad See You, Tom Kha Noodle soup, and Spicy Shrimp Fried Rice. I have had Thai food from many different places and this was sadly disappointing. I should have read reviews before ordering delivery. Tom Kha 3/10 The noodles for the Tom Kha were over cooked and stuck together. The soup did not have any chili flavor and I'm pretty sure there was no chili added cause it was not even the slightest color of red chili. Pad See You 2/10 It honestly tasted like masa, and the noodles were over cooked again. The flavor was a bit off putting, plus the use of American broccoli was horrible. I love Chinese Broccoli which is the correct way, and I have been to places that charge the same amount. I hate how people say it's expensive but other restaurants seem to be able to charge the same price and afford it. It was my mistake for not looking at photos of the dish before hand. Spicy Shrimp Fried Rice 3/10 Over cooked like everything else ordered. The rice had a mushy texture and there was no spice. It's called "Spicy," and it failed to be just that. Overall if you're hungry and don't want to drive far from the area, it's for you. I have had better for the same price or cheaper, and served larger portions to share with others. read more

The food was good. My mom enjoyed. The lady that helped me choose something for her was so sweet nice and understanding that it was my first time there. Oh and the cream cheese rangoons are sooooo delicious. read more

Nancy was our server and she was so sweet and helpful. The food was amazing and the restaurant was so clean and neat. If your looking for good food and great service, Modern Thai is the place to be. read more

Ordered the pad thai and shrimp fried rice. Asked for them to make the pad thai a little spicy and they added just enough to give it a nice little kick. I ordered it and drove right down. It was ready in about 10 minutes. I would definitely go back. read more

Great Thai food ! Lots of flavor! The panang curry was great! Will Return again. Good service and friendly staff. read more

I just ordered take out through yelp which I believed was an incredibly easy process. Their prices are reasonable especially for the portions. One order can probably be for 2-3 people which is really good. I loved the containers the food came in , they were totally reusable and they keep the food really hot until they arrive to you house. When I arrived to pick up my order, the food was already neatly packaged and ready to go. The pad Thai is really good I recommend it to everyone. The spring rolls were perfectly crisp. Their service is really good and they have everything pretty sanitized for anyone. They have such positive attitude and receive you as if you were family. I will definitely be ordering from here again pretty soon. read more

Food is delicious Always offers good service never disappoints. Will be returning soon(:

I come here because it's close to work. They have lunch specials that are about $7 and includes the entree with steamed rice. I have had the Cashew Chicken which was ok, Pad Thai was a lil watery, Glass Noodle Salad sucked, it was served warm with romaine but didnt impress. After I found Thai House on Atlantic, I haven't come back. The service is average. The decor and ambiance is about average. I wouldn't recommend this place for Thai food though. :( read more

OMG! The biggest glass of Thai Iced Tea and Thai Iced Coffee EVER! And it's soo good! 5 stars!!!!! The food on the other hand is 3 stars...it's good but I've had better. If I don't feel like driving elsewhere, I'll come here since I'm really close to this place. My husband and I tried the chicken fried rice, tom yong goong and some catfish dish. The service is pretty good and plenty of parking. I really wanted to try the mango and sticky rice but they ran out! UGH! read more

This delivers the goods in spades. The Panang curry was chock full of the good things (wonderful coconut based curry and generous slices of pork and chicken), the rice was fluffy, and the Thai Iced Tea demanded a second one to wash all this goodness down. Better yet, the wait staff was friendly and accomodating. read more

I'm not sure why i'm seeing all these bad reviews! i love this spot. it's truly a diamond in the rough. the food here is very tasty. the modern thai fried rice being a prime example. also, the food qualtiy and ambience is outstanding. i guess that's where the price comes into play. i mean, it's not your run of the mill thai joint where they slop everything on an old abused plate. the atmosphere is very clean and unique for a thai restaurant (hence modern) and doesn't make me think twice about using their utensils. the presentation on nice gourmet plates confirms that fact. overall, great restaurant at a decent price that also delivers and I will definitely return once the arteries free up some room. ~ Mark Inocentes™ read more

I lovvvvvvve Thai food! So I was super excited when i found this gem close to my office! Their Shrimp Lover dish is truly a delight for... well... a shrimp lover! I also love their Tom Kha Gai soup! So creamy and delicious! The four star review is for their excellent service and delicious food; you pretty much can't go wrong here! I'm just not crazy about the ambiance of the place, kind of like a fast food chinese restaurant, or mall food court style. If you don't mind that, the food is pretty amazing! read more

Food is excellent and fresh tasting.... the service is ok but I guess for the price and the quality of food it is worth coming here. the soup Tom Kai Gai is delicious ... read more

I hope the chef read the feedbacks from Yelp. The food at Modern Thai is good but the service especially the tall and slim waitress was terrible. Two of my friends and I got off work late and arrived Modern Thai at 8:20 p.m. when they went to Office Depot to buy some stuff. I went in and placed an order of five dishes (we love to eat). The waitress kept asking me when are my friends going to arrive because they close at 9:00. I told her that they are shopping at Office Depot (next door). She then said the kitchen closes at 8:30. I felt like she didn't want our business that I walked out of the restaurant. I met up with my friends and took off to Thai Paradise on Atlantic. The service there was A+ and the food was good. We hung out till 10:30 before we left. The servers all greeted us good night with big smiles on their faces. By the way, they closes at 10:00. read more

Been coming here for for years now these people are stingy they don't want to give any thing extra no soy no chili and when you ask they give one....bad attitude bad service but the food is ok read more

Workgroup went for lunch; Friendly service, good food, quick and awesome value. We will teturn

Yes one of my alternatives in Monterey Park. When I have had enough Chinese food I turn to Thai food for a sweet lunch. Pad Thai is my regular order and this is a fast, lunch spot. I would put this on my list as a quick lunch and so far have enjoyed fast service and great food. They even have boba as well. read more

First time here. Cashew Chicken lunch special was pretty good but I've had better. Overall the price and food quality was a solid 3 star in my book. read more

Food was good as was service. Will come back. The restaurant was a bit empty when me and my wife went on a Sunday.

I don't know exactly why, sometimes their portions are way too small and sometimes just right. Can't really know until start eating because its noodles in noodle soup. I let them know about it and they don't want to acknowledge. Just wanted to give them my opinion as a regular customer, but they made me feel uncomfortable giving my opinion. Portions should be consistent, so that I know how much to order. Just don't want to order another dish after finding out first one was too little. Especially during limited time I have during lunch. And the chubby lady server, she can be really hostile sometimes, anger management problem or maybe thats just the way she talks to customers. Either way, not good read more

I really like the fresh made coconut ice cream. Service is good. Servers are friendly. I will come back when in the mood for glass noodle soup and ice cream. Its close to home and a quick fox when in the mood for this type of food ... read more

Modern Thai - Glass noodle soup and spring rolls hit the spot ... - Thai Near Me - Montebello, California

It's funny how you can live in a place pretty much your whole life and never notice the subtle nuances. Take for example this place. It's been here for a hot minute and it sits a stone's throw from the USPS office. I'm all for supporting local businesses nowadays so I decided to give them a try. I had the Pad See Ew and some crispy wontons. The PSE was good, the crispy wontons left something to be desired. A touch on the pricey side but not by much, all things considered. Surprisingly not-spicy PSE, although I'm sure they have some burn-your-face-off spices in the back were I to ask for it. If you're in the area and want some pretty good Thai food I'd recommend checking the place out. read more

Can't remember if i've reviewed this place before, methinks not. The Thai food here isn't impressive, and it surely isn't authentic. By the way, who serves chicken without the rice,most thai places i go to, ahem, Thai BBQ on Azusa/Amar, serve theirs with rice and 3 shrimp....!!!!! So that's no excuse, rice is cheap and you charge me extra for it! And while on that note, the chicken sucked and was dry! and tasted more like a curry chicken than a thai roasted bbq chicken. Tried the steamed potstickers, they were good enough but prolly frozen. Hey, i was hungry, we ate them all. I really don't think i'll be returning, service is just as bad.... you practically had to get up and walk up to the waitress to get a refill or the menu or something..... Far too many other restaurants out there... read more

Food is good. Waitress there has an attitude problem. I like their pork and beef salad.

I know this is not the BEST thai restaurant ever...but it's much better than most places claiming to have reasonably priced aisian food. The lunch specials are great and most come with rice. I recommend ordering ahead and picking up to avoid waiting. It can be a 10-15 min. wait otherwise but keep in mind this is not fast food so you can't fault them. What I love is I can turn anything I order from them into multiple meals. Anywhere from three to four usually (and I'm no light eater), which makes their dishes VERY reasonable and a blessing since I usually don't have a lot of cash to indulge in awesome food as much as I would like to. Service is always friendly and I've never seen an issue with cleanliness. I love their: *Thai Iced Tea *Supreme Pad Thai (has shrimp and chicken) *Mango with Sticky Rice (I CRAVE the stuff, it's kind of sad how much I love it) *Papaya Salad (cold and spicy) *Pleasing Garlic (lives up to its name) If you live nearby and looking for some inexpensive thai take-out, try it. read more

I currently don't drive at the moment and it's hard to find places that will deliver to your home, other than the norm such as pizza. Especially in Montebello. While searching for restaurants that deliver, Modern Thai was one of the few places that came up in the search engine. While they are pretty speedy on delivery (even when they say up to 40 minutes) The food is pretty good for Montebello, a lil greasy at times, but hey its fast food. I'm all about up-selling but this place has no tact. Therefore the main thing I don't like about Modern Thai is that they are extremely greedy. They try to find ways to rip you off. Add a dollar here, add a dollar there. They also rob you of a tip so I wouldn't suggest you tipping the delivery person at the door. However always service with a smile. BUT keep in mind they don't deliver after 8pm. And a minimum of $20 on delivery. read more

Small family run, very casual Thai restaurant. Bright and clean but pretty generic. The food was good but nothing great. A group of us from work went to this place after work for a team dinner. We are all traveling consultants, so we eat at a wide variety of places. The food here is decidedly non spicy, unless you remember to ask. They have a one star to five star spice scale, like most Thai restaurants, but the default is always "one star no spice", even for dishes that should have some. Other than that, most of our party enjoyed the food. The price is low, so that's a win. read more

great Thai here and plus they deliver. They have the tastiest Thai iced tea here.
