CASH ONLY!!! The food court is located inside the market to the back. I come here over and over and over! My family comes here for their pad Thai and Thai fried rice all the time. I love the way they make the food spicy upon request! They do it just enough not to kill your taste buds and not using all the chili flakes to make it hot! The portion is big enough to share with two people unless you're like my husband he can just finish it himself! The pricing is very reasonable as well! Two Thai tea for $5!!! Can't beat that! Ooops. Forgot to take pictures of the fried rice. Overall, both dishes are good and they make it fresh to order! read more

New Star Thai - Thai Near Me - Rosemead, California

This place is very deceptive. It is hidden inside a Chinese plaza surrounded by Chinese eateries within the food court. The food court is known for very affordable food, so their slightly pricier food items and unfamiliar flavors will deter 60% of the clientele here. Food: Boat noodles were spicier than I expected and tasted much better than I expected. Service: Staff was not at the front, but order was taken promptly and food got to me promptly. Environment: The seating in the food court is a bit on the dumpy side. Parking spaces are tight and might be difficult during peak hours. Price: Super cheap pricing for today's food market standards. The place is already empty so I'm actually surprised they've survived all these years. Food: 5 Service: 4 Environment: 3.5 Price: 5 read more

New Star Thai - Lunch! - Thai Near Me - Rosemead, California

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. read more

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. read more

New Star Thai - drunken noodle with chicken - Thai Near Me - Rosemead, California

This Thai spot inside the food court at The Square in Rosemead is definitely underrated. I have been here several times now, both for regular meals and party trays, and it has always been a reliable experience. On a recent visit, we ordered Pad Thai, Boat Noodle, and Tom Yum. The portion sizes were generous, especially considering the price. I particularly enjoyed the Pad Thai. It was flavorful, well balanced, and something I would definitely return for. Next time, I plan to try their Hainan chicken or one of the fried rice dishes. Ordering and picking up party trays here is straightforward, and the food has been consistently good. I especially enjoy the papaya salad also. I have also tried the beef salad, though it felt a bit off balance, with mostly salad and just a small layer of beef on top. Since it is located in a food court, there are other places nearby if you are looking for different types of cuisine, but this spot remains one of my regular choices. I would definitely recommend it and plan to keep coming back. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

New Star Thai - Pad see ew. Bad! - Thai Near Me - Rosemead, California

This place is underrated!! I usually come here to order party trays. The last time I came, I got the pad Thai party tray and it was $30+ tax was $38. I had to call a few times before someone picked up and the person who picked up (probably the owner) didn't speak much English. Nonetheless, the job was done though and we were able to put the order in. I requested for 4:30pm pick up but I didn't end up going until 6pm (poor planning on my end). The people working there laughed and were kind enough to ask if I wanted it to be reheated. Since I was running late, I said no and just paid. Ordering and picking up party trays here is pretty easy and the food is good! I especially like the papaya salad and the pad Thai! I also got the beef salad before but it was just a ton of salad and a layer of beef on top. This is located in a food court so there are also other places you can pick up party trays from if you want a different food item/cuisine. I would definitely come back here and recommend people to come here! read more

We've been going to New Star Thai for years. We always stop by to pick up food for us and the extended family every time we're in the area. This is a family business - mom, dad, and son team. Everyone is so nice and food is very delicious. Our staples are Drunken Noodles, Pad Thai, Crab Fried Rice, Catfish Curry, Tom Kar Gai, and Chicken Curry. You can substitute meat with tofu. They also have party trays. We've ordered party trays - Crab Fried Rice and Pad See Yiu - and they were a hit with the guests. read more

New Star Thai is located in a food court within GW Supermarket center on Garvey Ave. They have pretty good Thai dishes. Our go-to items are Pad Sewe with fried tofu or shrimp, Pad Thai, Pad Woon Sen with seafood, sometimes we get their curry dishes... they have a very good beef salad, too, but I don't eat beef anymore so I don't order that anymore. Everything is so good, prices are very reasonable, portions are big... you can't beat it. We don't live in the San Gabriel Valley (SGV) area so New Star Thai is pretty much the only Thai place we order Thai food from when we're out in SGV otherwise we visit Sanamluang Thai Cuisine in Montclair... they are the very best Thai I've ever had. Sorry, I know this review is for New Star Thai LOL. Staff is really nice. Usually there is a sweet older lady who takes the order and the cooking crew is probably her adult children or relatives. Prices are very reasonable. The food court has tables and chairs for dining. One nice thing about food courts is that you don't have to pay tip, but you can tip the individual restaurant if you choose. Drop on by here if you want some great tasting, affordable, and big portions Thai foods. Happy New Starring Thai! read more

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. read more

New Star Thai - Updated Menu 11/2024 - Thai Near Me - Rosemead, California

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. read more

New Star Thai - Chicken Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Rosemead, California

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!! read more

Want authentic Thai food without breaking the bank? Come here. Their prices have barely increased but the quality and quantity remained the same. I usually get their chicken pad thai, boat noodles, crispy pork w/ broccoli, and pad see ew. They all taste great for the price! There may be better Thai places, but this one is the closest to me and I like their food. I'm sure their other food are just as great (tom yum soup and curry is legit here as well). If you want more authenticity, ask for Thai spicy. You don't wait long for your food, they're quick in prep and will ring the bell to let you know. I love coming here for a quick bite or to-go. Thai tea is great, Thai coffee is excellent. I like their drinks even though I wished they offered more selection. The lady at the counter is nice and serves with a smile. She recognizes returning customers as well. This place is more like 4 stars but I want to support their business since I've been coming here for years and it's consistent. I hope it never closes down because they're the only non-Viet and Chinese place in this food court. read more

What a pleasant surprise and find. I came to the food court for takeout at Harlam's Kitchen but they were closed due to the Lunar New Year. Not wanting to cook and having a hankering for Thai, New Star Thai looked appealing. Ordered the Pad See Ew and the Thai Fried Rice, the portions were very large. When I got home, my kid devoured the Pad See Ew as it was very savory with a slight sweetness. The Thai Fried Rice was presented well in the container and super flavorful. Who knew that there was great quality Thai in the food court. I'll be back to try the pad Thai and the chicken larb. read more

Food court restaurant, Chinese speaking mostly. Tried their Tom Yum noodle before, a bit salty but good taste. My favorite dish here is their Chinese broccoli with Crispy Pork. Goes great with rice and very tasty. Pineapple fried rice here is also very decent. Overall, great neighborhood/food court restaurant with good dishes for decent money. read more

Delicious Thai food at very affordable prices. Portions are great and everything is cooked to order. My favorites are the noodle soup and fried rice. Lots of toppings and always hot. Their Yen Ta Foh, a noodle soup dish that is not commonly offered in other Thai restaurants, is savory and comes with an assortment of seafood. It is easily one of the best and most humbly priced Thai restaurants that I have been to! read more

Love, love, love. Get the spicy seafood fried rice and Thai boat noodles. Auntie can cook.

food pretty average now. tastes completely different .

Great little spot located inside a shopping center. I ordered the spring rolls and coconut pineapple curry. The curry was really good! I never had it with pineapple. It made the soup taste a little sweeter. The rolls were also good. My total for the spring rolls and soup was $15. I will be coming back for the soup. read more

Picking up some lunch from a food court in the middle of Rosemead I didn't know what to expect. The counter was run by a little ole Asian lady that takes orders with her wired bound notebook. There were customers waiting somewhat impatiently for their orders. I guess Star Thai takes it time? Anyway I observed that the place takes only cash. So after I picked up my order and brought it back to work, I started eating...and understood why the customers were impatient. #33.The Crispy Pork with Chinese Broccoli was delicious and crunchy, with the right amount of saltiness. #34.The Rice Dish with Mint Leaves and a Fried Egg was awesome in its savoriness. This is to me comfort food. #19.The Coconut Soup with Chicken had a curry kick to it that tickles the back of my throat accompanied with that savory sweet that I like. I was wonderfully surprised how good the food was! It goes to show how you can never judge a place by its appearance... Definitely worth coming back! read more

Did not expect such good Thai Food from a food court stall! Portions are great and cheap compared to Thai restaurant. Thai tea: 2/$3 is such a steal. It was a little too sweet but I really can't complain. Shrimp Pad Thai: $8.50 for a huge plate! The noodles were covered in sauce and not dry like some other restaurants. Shrimp tasted fresh was not overcooked. It's not the most flavorful but it's nothing a little hot sauce can't fix. Chicken Green Curry: $7.50 and it comes with rice! I swear every other Thai place I've tried charges for rice but this place actually comes with a generous plate of rice. The curry if filled with chicken and a ton of vegetables. It's a little on the spicy side. Chicken is a little dry but I still think it's still pretty good. read more

This place is amazing! My family and I were craving Thai food but didn't want to drive too far. We searched this place on Yelp and decided to stop by after seeing great reviews. We went with the papaya salad (everyone on Yelp seemed to recommend this), pad thai, pad see ew, and a tom yum soup. The price was about $7-$8 which is super reasonable. The papaya salad did live up to it's reviews! I would say though that I would prefer it without the dried shrimps. The soup was AMAZING. So full of flavors! It is pretty spicy if you can't eat spicy. It was full of mushrooms too which was good. The pad thai and pad see ew were both pretty good. Nothing too crazy but it was enough to satisfy our cravings. Concept is you order, and then they'll call you up when your order is ready. This location is in The Square market's food court. There is plenty of parking because of its location in a huge plaza. I would definitely be coming back here!! read more

-1 Star: Cash only -2 Stars: horrible customer service! The elder lady took my TO GO Tom Yum Noodle order in a notebook and gave me an order number for pick up. However, when my number was called, she gave me an order for DINE IN. So I told her "sorry but I ordered for to go." Then she gave me a nasty look while muttering something in her language to me in front of all the customers waiting for their orders. No apologies whatsoever. Then she called another order number to be picked up, but the customer wasn't there. She then muttered something again and tossed the Togo order on a counter with horrible attitudes....everyone including myself felt so uncomfortable-I can see it on their faces. After a few minutes she brought my order out but everything was in one container. At this point I assumed she didn't make a new order for me to bring home. The noodle and soup was combined in one container. By the time I got home the soup had absorbed into the noodle which made it soggy...and no soup left. Thai food is one of my favorite food and I really wanted to love this place because I often come to buy desserts next door. Until their customer service improves, I won't be back! I didn't come to beg for my food, I paid and treated her with respect! read more

Located at the food court. This no frills eatery offers take out or dine in at the community food court. Prices here are reasonable and portions are generous. I ordered the number 17 Tom yum soup noodles - shrimp, ground pork, BBQ pork, fish balls, fish cake and veggies in a flavorful broth. I was impressed with the entrée and the generous portion. I'd definitely recommend this hole in the wall if you're in the 626 area and want to fill up for the price of a fast food burger. read more

New Star Thai - #17 - Thai Near Me - Rosemead, California

This place may not be the greatest when it comes to taste but you really can't beat the value. I don't think you can find Thai food at these prices anywhere anymore. The only downside to this place is how they're super old-school and they write down all their orders in a notebook. I've had my order given to another customer because of how unorganized it was. In the end, they made it right by remaking my order and apologizing for it but this could've all been avoided if they used a more modern system. They also seem to be one of the only few places in the food court that stays open longer. Most of the other restaurants inside like to close up shop early these days. read more

Low key Thai fast food within "the square" plaza. This little Thai shop is within a cafeteria area within the plaza, so don't expect this to be a fancy sit-down restaurant. The food here is cheap, tasty, cash only. For a large order of papaya salad (really tasty) and yellow curry (good, but really watery), I paid under $14. I recommend the papaya salad, but be warned that even "mild" spicy is really spicy. Next time I'll go for no spicy. The yellow curry, as I mentioned, was watery, but they give a lot of chicken. The flavor was there too. Just don't expect thick curry. Will definitely return now that I've found a close spot for my papaya salad ! read more

Tom yum noodle $6, no tax, wonderful! It tastes different from typical tom yum noodles I've had. The soup is still spicy and tastes good. The noodles are vermicelli though. The meat, bean sprouts, veggies were all a good mix. I would come back. Its like pho but Thai style and reasonably priced. read more

This place is like a whole in the wall... the food here exceeded my expectations. I was not expecting it to be that good but it was pretty good. I came here after waiting for my friend's Hainan chicken at Tasty Food. They're located inside the market in a food court on the left side, away from the actual market. This place use to look very different when my family used to go here. It's been through many phases. Ample amount of parking. It'll be even harder to find parking on the weekends. I got the chicken Pad Thai; $6.95. The portions that they give you is very generous. They also have a Thai tea deal; 1 for $2 or 2 for $3. Their Thai tea is pretty damn good too. The total came out to be just less than $10! The staff here is nice. I will definitely be back and try their other menu items. CASH ONLY ESTABLISHMENT. read more
