    Delicious! with outstanding service. You can taste the love they put into making each dish. We ordered Pad Thai and Yellow Curry with rice and it was enough for 4 people. This is the best thai I've had in the area. So fresh and not too sticky. While waiting they brought us cucumber drink and dried bananas that hit the spot on a hot summer day.

    Went in to check out this new place and was so surprised to find the former owner of Saladang (Pasadena) behind the counter. Having sold her first pride and joy in 2015, this is her post retirement return to doing something fun but at a slower pace. She saw this location and has been working for the past 2 years refurbing the former dry cleaning space to suit her taste. You might notice very clean lines, colors, and finishing touches from the window treatment to the plantings outside--there is pride in this place. It reflects in the food served- simple, no frills, less oil, minimal extra sugar, leaner cuts of protein all reflect her sentiment of being healthy and taking life slowly but enjoying each moment. When you go in, take a moment to chat, breathe and enjoy. I loved hearing her story, you might too.

    New Thai restaurant in town so had to give it a try. They open at 10am making it very convenient. They have a small parking lot but seems set up more for take out so think parking situation is OK. They do have a few tables set up for dining in. I tried the pad Thai, pad kee mow and cucumber drink. Food was delicious. The cucumber drink was very refreshing. The best part is that it's reasonably priced. Very spacious and clean interior. Staff was very nice and friendly. Will need to return to try more dishes.

    I came in on Saturday 4/25 for the first time and it was WONDERFUL!! I have been eyeing this place since I drive past everyday on my way to work and see that they will open soon. Well that are OPEN!! Come in to try some DELICIOUS Thai food with the BEST and most friendly staff!! It's not a sit down restaurant which is fine by me~ grab and take home to enjoy. The place was very clean and welcoming! The food was excellent! I ordered the chicken pad Thai and the shrimp pad Thai. Both delicious and very flavorful! The older lady who helped I think she was the owner was so kind and had a lovely smile! Very sweet and welcoming! Parking is easy and a great location! Welcome to Monrovia!

    Delicious food! The starred items on the menu are spicy, but the spice level can be adjusted. The former owner of Saladang does not disappoint! Paid $2 extra for an extra protein on my pad see ew. The chicken wings (6) were crispy on the outside while perfectly juicy and tender inside. There are a few spacious tables in the restaurant for dine in, and a few parking spots scattered around the unit. Convenient spot to order ahead and come back later after shopping at CVS or Ralphs!

    Pad See Ew

    Sangdara is a must visit to eat! We stopped in to order takeout for lunch. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We ordered pad see ew chicken and bbq chicken with a side of white rice. While we waited, one of the workers gave us cucumber juice for free while we waited. Not only was it such a kind and generous gesture, but the cucumber juice was AMAZING. When we got home to open the food, we were pleasantly surprised with how large the portion sizes are. Our bbq chicken was so much that it came in two boxes even though we only got one order. The pad see ew was packed with chicken as well. Pricing is also super reasonable which is a plus. We got everything pictured below for $30 with taxes (before the generous tip for their great food and service). Food was absolutely delicious and we WILL be visiting Sangdara again!

    Absolutely delicious green curry with chicken and vegetables along with white rice and Pad See Ew with Tofu

    I'm very selective of the Thai restaurants I eat as most of them are just ok for their quality and taste. I'm super happy that Sangdara has truly met my expectations and have already picked up food twice within the last 3 days. The owner Dang is very welcoming and warm and all of her employees too are super humble and polite. Very generous portions and super great taste along with very good quality

The interior is ornate with traditional decor, and although the tables are tightly packed, it's comfortable. Back to the food. The portions are generous and the dishes are the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spicy. My favorites are the waterfall beef salad and the President Thai BBQ beef. We tried the fried soft-shell crab for the first time tonight. It was a pleasant surprise. Hot and crispy on the outside, soft and juicy on the inside. All the great flavor of crab without all the work of cracking through the shell and digging around for the meat. This was a treat! And of course, we must have mango and sticky rice for dessert.

On this visit, we decided to stop by for dinner, and it reminded me exactly why we've been coming back all these years. We ordered the Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, and Tom Yum Soup, and every dish was packed with flavor. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the Tom Yum had that bold balance of tangy, savory, and spicy flavors, and everything tasted fresh and authentically prepared. You can tell they've stayed true to their recipes over the years. One thing that really stood out was the portion sizes. We were not expecting such generous servings for dinner and ended up with plenty of leftovers to enjoy the next day. If you're looking for authentic Thai food with generous portions, president Thai is a must try in Pasadena.

Parking is easily available on the street in front of the store or in the back. There are a few tables inside and the interior is clean. They run promos often with freebies such as Thai tea if you meet a purchase minimum. My go to orders are boat noodle, tom yum soup, curry, and crab fried rice. The boat noodle has rich flavor that I can't find anywhere else in the area. Tom yum comes with a lot of shrimp and the they don't skimp on the crab in the fried rice either. Portions are generous and I have enough leftovers for a full meal the next day. Their new item drunken spaghetti reminds me of the one I had in Thailand. Golden bags are excellent as appetizers. They're fried but not too oily and have delicious filling. Their Thai tea deserves a shoutout too. It tastes authentic and not watered down. Their online ordering platform makes getting takeout easy.

    I ordered the Pad Thai and Yellow Curry, and both completely hit the mark…read more The Pad Thai is high-quality and very traditional--the noodles have that perfect chewy texture and a great sweet-and-tangy tamarind flavor without being overly sweet. The Yellow Curry is pure comfort food; the broth is incredibly rich, smooth, and aromatic, with perfectly cooked potatoes and veggies. On top of the great taste, the portion sizes are very generous. You definitely get your money's worth here, with plenty of food to leave you full (and probably take some home). Will definitely be ordering from here again! Highly recommend.

    This place has been around for years, but it's my first time trying it…read more Ong Choy: really love the way the Ong Choy is made, it's not too salty and oily. It's flavorful and Ong Choy is nice and crunchy. Definitely a great vegetable selection. Pad Thai: the sauce is way too heavy and sweet. We didn't enjoy this as much as we thought we would. The first taste was good, but the more you have the saltier/sweeter it gets. The lime juice didn't lighten things up either. Don't really recommend it. Crab fried rice: there's a good amount of crab and egg in this dish. The rice is on the softer side, it's not dry and hard like most fried rice. We still enjoy it, the texture of the rice didn't kill the flavor of it. The flavor is very balanced, but quite oily. Tom yum seafood soup: There's a good amount of seafood in this soup. The flavor (sweet and sour) is well balanced. Sweet rice with mango: A great dessert option to finish the meal. It is not overly sweet. I'm not a fan of coconut, but the coconut is not distinctly sweet and overwhelming (so I was able to have some). The sweet rice is chewy and warm when served. And the mango is perfectly ripe and sweet. Definitely recommend it. The service was outstanding! The restaurant decoration is very traditional and unique. They are quite busy when we arrived on a Sunday night. I would give this place an overall 3.5/5 because they can definitely work on some of the dishes.
