    Tom yum
    Travis P.

    This is a pretty decent spot for Thai food if you're looking for something average but very affordable. It's located in the food court at GW Supermarket in Rosemead. Each dish was only $12, which is insanely affordable compared to other places. Now for the food: Tom Yum (Chicken) - Looked interesting, and the flavors were decent overall. (3.5/5) Green Curry (Chicken) - The chicken looked a little sus, but it tasted fine. The curry flavor was a bit light, but overall decent. (3.5/5) Pad Thai (Chicken, supposed to be Shrimp) - They messed up our order and gave us chicken instead of shrimp, so we ended up with a lot of chicken. That said, I actually enjoyed the flavors on this one. (4/5) Pad See Ew (Seafood) - Pretty solid. Came with a nice assortment of seafood. A bit greasy, but I liked it. (4/5) Overall, don't expect this place to be amazing, but if you're looking for a quick and affordable lunch, it's definitely worth checking out. For me, it's a solid 3.5/5. Note - CASH ONLY, probably why the prices are lower than the average.

    drunken noodle with chicken

    Located inside of a supermarket, this hidden local gem is must go. Not only does it offer many dishes, but theyre SUPER AFFORDABLE and STACKED with food. We got the crab fried rice (9/10) and the drunken noodles with chicken (8.5/10). Both dishes had giant portions for such a great deal (both less than $30 total). Have to come back again!! Service was relatively fast and there are seating indoors.

    Cash Only.

    New Star Thai is very affordable decent Thai eats. It's the familiar Thai food greatest hits like : Noodles (Pad Thai/Pad See Eww), Curries, Soups, Fried Rice, Stir Fry. This food stall is run by an older friendly Thai couple. It's A-okay nothing stellar. My favorite thing here are the chicken noodle soup and they have a vegan noodle soup that's not bad. CASH ONLY!

    Great affordable choice for Thai food! Got the $40 party tray and it was pretty good price had to be my favorite part. Fwd over 10 people with leftovers! Also got Thai tea which was only $2! Everything in this food court is great especially Star Thai, classic !

    A little mom and pop establishment that makes great Thai food. Prices are unbeatable and portions are very generous. My kid loves the pad see yew and I love their glass noodle salad. Orders usually take about 10-15 minutes to come out. You can browse other food stalls while you wait. This food court has lots of other options ranging from Vietnamese desserts stall to Chinese dumplings. Highly recommend for a quick and affordable meal.

    I was craving papaya salad, and I thought I would try the Salty Crab Papaya Salad. The idea sounds good, but when I tried it, the salad was a little too pungent with fish sauce, and the salt crab was just way too much for me to take. If I come back next time, I would just probably just get the regular papaya salad.

    Crab Fried Rice
    Ann M.

    The food here offer great value for the price. The portions are generous, and you get authentic flavors without breaking the bank. For a casual meal, the prices are decent and affordable, making it a go-to spot for a tasty Thai fix on a budget. Crab Fried Rice was okay. Kinda bland but worth the price 7/10 Tom Yum Noodle Soup was okay also. They give a lot of noodles but not enough broth. Not spicy enough. 6/10 Cash only

    Pad see ew. Bad!
    Amir M.

    CASH ONLY. Pad see ew was pretty bad. More like Chinese chow fun than anything else. Even then, it lacked flavor and was not memorable. I will not be back.

    Pad thai

    This is the thai restaurant located at the food court at The Square in Rosemead. We ordered pad thai and Tom yum, total was about 20 bucks. Took about ten minutes to come out. Great value and portions. I really liked the pad thai and I'd come back for that. I want to try their hainan chicken or fried rice dishes next time.

    Chicken Pad Thai
    Lily H.

    First time trying New Star Thai. I've seen this food court restaurant any times while coming to shop at the GW Supermarket. I had the intention of trying their Mango Sticky Rice since I haven't tried that before, but they removed the item from the menu. During this visit, I tried the Chicken Pad Thai. I was curious to try something new and see if it could be my new regular spots. Currently the food court seating area has been dismantled so no dining in. Everything is take out. Opening opening the to go box I thought the amount of food was pretty decent. Lots of ingredients for sure and many different flavors. For the Pad Thai there's lots of vegetables, soft noodles, and finely crushed peanuts. If you have a nut allergy I do not recommend this noodle dish. Overall, it was tasty and for $8.50 for a box of noodles, it was decent. I'll probably come back to try their other dishes, especially their Mango Sticky Rice. For those of you who have not been to the food court inside The Square plaza, it's inside the store to your far left if you're entering from the main entrance. Parking is usually plentiful, however on weekends when most people do their shopping parking spots can fill up quickly.

    Crispy pork with Chinese broccoli ($8.50)
    Maggie C.

    Cheap Thai food at the food court. My niece and I wanted to grab something quick before going shopping. Crispy pork with Chinese broccoli ($8.50): not bad for the price. The taste was OK, but the pork skin got hard and chewy really fast. Chicken pad thai ($7.50): we were a little disappointed because the noodle was overcooked and greasy. The lady who took our order was nice, but her husband (?) was cranky. He didn't like the fact that I asked for another plastic bag since the sauce was all over the bag. QUICK TIP: LOCATED AT THE FOOD COURT INSIDE THE SQUARE PLAZA! 3 stars!! New Star Thai is almost yummylicious!!

    Updated Menu 11/2024

    Food always good and tasty and reasonably priced for the portions given. It's my goto place for Thai food. Quite authentic.

I was craving for some fried bananas so I dropped in to get some. They are located on Garvey Ave within the Vikon Center in Rosemead. This spot used to be a Vietnamese restaurant a very long time ago. It brought back some nostalgia when I walked through the doors. Upon entry, I was greeted by a nice gentleman behind the counter. He may have been the owner not 100% sure though. Good interior seating space. Nice and clean. Lots of windows with great sunlight shining through. Their menu has quite a variety of Thai dishes and some intriguing ones, too. Prices were fair. I usually get my go-to dish which is the Pad Woon Sen (glass noodles) with seafood. This time I got it with just shrimp. Of course, I had to get an order of fried bananas. They make them to order. Just know you're getting them fresh from the fryer every time. I also got one Thai Green Tea drink. Everything from noodles to bananas to drink were very good. I appreciate the 5-6 big shrimps in the Pad Woon Sen. Glass noodles were firm and not mushy. Tomatoes and green onions were fresh. Wok flavor was on point. Good quality dish! I would get it again. As for the fried bananas, they weren't as good as the first time I had them. Don't get me wrong, they were very hot and fresh. Good portions, too. I just think they were thin with the batter and also they probably needed to sit a little bit prior to eating them. Thai Green Tea was refreshingly good. I love drinks with crushed ice! Glad I tried them. Definitely a spot I would return to so I may try their other specialty Thai dishes. Maybe I'll dine-in next time.

The interior was well lit, filled with pretty flowers, and they even had some Thai music playing! After looking through the menu we finally ordered. Our table ordered the chicken red curry, shrimp butter fried rice, beef pad see ew, and pad gra pow. Everything was pretty standard across the board, just very good authentic Thai food. Only thing is that the pork from the pad gra pow was a little salty and not as fatty/tender as I'd like. Parking was very easy.

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.

Their menu has changed a bit over time, but I still recognize the kitchen staff and the food continues to satiate me. On the recent visit I tried their lunch combo. This starts with an entree, and adds a drink, an appetizer, and a soup. There is a premium combo that includes a full size appetizer. I could not finish the regular combo, so there would still be leftovers for an even larger size meal. I love khao Soi and knew I had to order this one. The flavor was similar to other Thai places, though I found it reduced more so that the curry was thicker and really stuck to the noodles. Good noodle portion, lots of chicken meat, pickled veggies, soft-boiled eggs were dry but tasted the same, all around good entree. I asked for a saucy Pad Thai and they delivered, very good indeed. Each of these entrees could have been a meal on their own. The cabbage soup was very savory, likely a chicken stock with some veggies thrown in. Less umami than a miso soup, but very robust flavor. The side salad had a light sesame dressing, not too intense of a flavor and it worked well with the typical house salad ingredients. There were some crispy straws added on top, to differentiate, but it's a good and healthy side option. I'd skip the vegetable egg-roll, it's just an egg-roll. The Green Thai Tea is a main reason we came to Dancing Spoons. It's not normally part of the lunch combo, but we asked about an up charge and they were able to help us out.
