Updated post and long-overdue review! This is, by far, the best authentic Thai restaurant in Azusa. They're the only place in the area that serves homemade coconut ice cream, and it's absolutely worth trying. Their mango sticky rice is also a must-have! The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and always amazing. The service is excellent, and while the restaurant is small, it's warm, welcoming, and inviting. They also have private parking, which is a nice bonus. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Thai food. You won't be disappointed! read more

Out in Azusa lies this little Thai hole in the wall with maybe enough seating for 15 people. If looks are deceiving this is the place where you will be deceived because they serve some delicious dishes. Along with that good service and care from their staff. For starters I had their Roti with Yellow Curry which was tasty and savory. The roti was buttery and soft and you could easily have lots of it but then you would miss out on the over delicious items. Next was some classic Pad See Ew with chicken which once again hit the mark with its savory flavors and texture from their noodles. One of the items I always get in every Thai restaurant is the Spicy Eggplant with Basil as it potentially is my favorite dish with all the flavors and textures. Lastly you can't end without having some curry. This time it was pineapple curry that has so many flavors from sweet, savory, salty and just yummy. A nice and delicious experience of all the food and if the Mango Sticky Rice was in season I would have ended it with that. read more

Come here for the awesome lunch specials! My wife and I had come here to Satu for the first time and I wholeheartedly enjoyed it. The location is on the side of the business complex. And you will see thier sign driving up Azusa Ave. Parking is tight, but street parking is available. The location is very small with few tables inside and No public restroom. Don't let that discourage you from coming by because this was some really great Thai food. The customer service felt genuine and felt as if we were at home dining with family. The menu is very big with options and they are about to celebrate 10 years of business! They offer all of the traditional Thai dishes and now serve up Khao Soi. We opted for the lunch specials which is from 11:30am-2:30pm. I ordered the Pad See Ew and my wife the Green Curry. The food was ready in 5-10 minutes. You get a side salad and egg roll. We also received complimentary ice cream. Their Pad See Ew was tops! The flavors were all there and the presentation of it on a plate had the vibrant pop you want in a good Pad See Ew. Portions were great for a budget friendly lunch special. We felt very well taken care of the whole time. Great staff + great food = great experience! I wish we had been coming here sooner because their serve quality Thai cuisine. Can't wait to come back again. Please give them a try if you're craving some Thai! Thank you, Satu Thai Bistro!

This was my go-to Thai spot back when I lived in Azusa, and I'm happy to say it hasn't changed at all. The food is just as good as I remembered, and the service was friendly (same person I remember from about 5 years ago, which was honestly nice to see.) It's a small shop with only about 4-5 tables, and there were tons of to-go and pickup orders while I was there, but I decided to dine in. What I ordered: Khao Soi - I saw this being advertised and had never tried it before, so I went for it. Super unique dish with a strong, creamy coconut flavor that wasn't overpowering at all. The noodles were great, and overall it was really comforting and delicious. Would 100% order again. (5/5) Pad See Ew (Shrimp) - A classic done well. Solid flavors, nothing too heavy, and very tasty overall. The shrimp were plump and fresh, which I appreciated. (4.5/5) I also asked about mango sticky rice, and they were honest and told me the mangos weren't fully ripe yet. I really appreciated that honesty. Instead, they gave me their complimentary cookies and cream ice cream, which ended up being really good too. There isn't much good Asian food in Azusa, so if you're living nearby, I'd definitely recommend this spot, it's one of the few reliable gems in the area. Parking: Small shared lot with neighboring businesses. read more

Had been raving to my boyfriend about how good this spot is -- I used to come here for lunch during my nursing clinical rotations in the area, and they have an amazing lunch special! This time, though, we ordered outside of the lunch special, and everything we got was so good. The service was extremely friendly, the music created a great vibe, and the food came out quickly and hot. To top it off, we ended with a scoop of cookies and cream ice cream, which was the perfect little treat. I forgot to take a picture of the Pad Thai, but trust me -- it's so good. Definitely looking forward to coming back the next time we're in the area! read more

Something has been bothering me for the longest time, and when I tasted the food here, I was no longer bothered. AUTHENTIC! 10 out of 10 flavor. Khao Soi, Panang curry, and chicken wings. Satisfying! read more

Our usual post RenFaire Thai restaurant was closed so we searched for another close by. After a bit of a closed restaurant goose chase, we came upon Satu and were delighted to find them. Very tiny but immaculately clean, Satu's wide menu and reasonable prices was a fantastic find in the middle of a city we don't usually frequent. Very friendly staff who came by several times just to refill the ubiquitous water pitchers and ask if we needed anything. We ordered the Khao Soi which was prominently featured on the second page of the menu. It was deliciously coconut milk creamy with both boiled and crunchy noodles. Also ordered the pad kee mao drunken noodles and the spicy eggplant dish, redolent with wok hei. All the dishes were delicious. I asked for mild spice and was glad to have done so because the spice level was pushing it for my dining companions. They said it felt more like medium though nobody was too spiced out but caveat emptor. We were surprised with three complimentary scoops of old school tricolored spumoni ice cream at the end. Lovely restaurant, highly recommended. read more

Considering the high reviews, maybe we ordered on an off night. I ordered the yellow curry with medium spice. Not only did it arrive in an extremely tiny to-go container for over $15, but it was red-orange in color. The only flavor was extreme heat. It was very thick with almost zero broth--very goopy texture. Also, the pad Thai tasted like nothing. It's almost like they forgot to season the dish. The combo fried rice was okay. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, but the beef was so chewy/inedible. Not much flavor here either. My family isn't even picky and nobody will eat any of it after tasting it all. Way too expensive overall for the quality we received. read more

My son and I were out for dinner and yelp guided us here. The restaurant is small but, clean and nicely decorated. We came in around 8pm and I didn't have huge expectations since it was close to closing time. Our server was friendly and took our order immediately. We ordered a few items to try, as we always do. To start we ordered the garlic chicken wings and chicken satay. The glaze on the wings had phenomenal flavor and was super crispy. The satay chicken was perfectly cooked and paired well with the peanut sauce. I ordered yellow curry with chicken which was delicious. My son ordered the won ton soup and Satu fried rice which was also delicious. We were completely satisfied and will definitely come back. If you're in the mood for delicious Thai food, check them out! We also loved their Thai tea! read more

First time visiting (6/20) it take "A minute" to find the location (one way streets). Very welcoming customer service to a Quaint atmosphere, you can dine in, but a bit small. so we order to go: pa Nang curry, Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles (I found a little dry). Overall it's pretty good, prices too. Glad we found this place. A slightly hidden gem in Azusa. Don't forget they will be closed 7/4-7/13. read more

I know this might sound hyperbolic, but I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is my favorite restaurant, and in my opinion, the best thing Azusa has to offer. The service is great--they're very attentive and prepare the food so quickly--and the food is amazing. I usually get the cream cheese wontons, orange chicken, and beef chow mein. All that to say, I'd totally recommend it! Also, if you can, avoid ordering through Yelp or DoorDash and just call directly, because otherwise they lose a cut. read more

Loved it here! We got the shrimp Pad sew, black pepper beef with a side of rice, black pepper chicken wings! Everything came back so quickly! Big portions and everything was cooked well! The service was amazing and they gave us a scoop of ice cream for free! Please support this buisness They also made great recommendations when we asked and everyone was so kind. The whole store was very clean too! P.s. My boyfriend loved the sliced peppers in vinegar that was provided on the side! read more

It was my first time here tonight because I was craving some Thai food and found them. They are absolutely phenomenal. The food is some of the best Thai food I've had. They were quick and extremely kind. They accidentally forgot my side of sticky rice (would've been a bummer but not a big deal) and called quickly and since I was already almost home they delivered it instead. They also gave me a Thai tea when dropping it off. I was still able to enjoy my curry and sticky rice with my dinner. The service was beyond incredible. I will 100% be back!!! Thank you so much read more

Ordered takeout and dined here on two different occasions. First time trying was dine in. The interior is very small but there's enough seating for a few people. They also have outdoor seating. Customer service is pleasant from the staff. Fast table service and takeout service as well. Their yellow curry is phenomenal - a blend of spices and savory flavors, so darn awesome! One of the best Thai curries I've had. Their egg rolls are delish, rice cooked to perfection, and their Thai Ice Tea is the ideal level of sweet. Support small business and give this Thai spot a try! read more

This is a really delicious Thai spot. Sort of a hole in the wall hidden gem. Amazing pad kee mao!!! Inside is small but usually not too busy around lunch time. Definitely worth checking out. Have been back twice and found things to be consistent! read more

I stopped in on a whim and the food was fantastic. I had a panang shrimp curry and it was spot on with flavor and heat. The coconut ice cream is delicious. I'd come back even just for the ice cream. read more

Great taste and service! The yellow curry is bomb and so were the avocado spring rolls and garlic spring rolls. I'd come back in a heartbeat. read more

Excellent food. Friendly service. Decent prices. Worth going out for. Totally recommend this place.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! The food here is authentic, flavorful, and the ingredients are top notch! Prices are great; especially when you consider the high-quality ingredients! Besides the phenomenal food, the staff members are all very friendly, welcoming, and helpful! You have the option of eating indoors or outside. We always love to eat outside on their little patio surrounded by their Thai basil plants! read more

I did not realize that Satu Thai Bistro is only a minute away from where I live. I like Thai food very much and wanted to see if Satu could live up to what I'm accustomed to: delicious, home-cooked Thai food. SATU THAI BISTRO DID NOT DISAPPOINT! I ordered the Pad Thai, crab rangoon and veggie rolls as take-out. Very tasty! The place is very small and the staff is very welcoming. I would definitely return to try some of their other dishes. read more

It's located in a mini shopping mall that is on the corner of Azuza and Sierra Madre. It was tight to park at 11:30 because of the many businesses that are crammed in that little corner: a liquor store, a pet groomer, a bakery, a Mexican restaurant and a teriyaki stand. Satu Thai Bistro has fresh potted herbs outside that they must use for their dishes and it looks like outside seating for when the weather warms up. The inside of the Bistro is charming with a few tables. Service is quick and efficient. The lunch specials are priced under $12. Brown rice is no extra charge and they also offer quinoa for an additional fee. The yellow and green curries are generously portioned. They are creamy, full of vegetables and our protein choice of chicken. At the end, they brought out little scoops of ice cream to enjoy! read more

Amazing curry and fried rice their lunch specials are amazing too as well as the service there

The food is always so good and the service is great! I usually go during lunch and it's pretty busy but it's so worth it. My favorite is the 3 flavor fish and the pad Thai. This past weekend I got the tofu chicken soup and it was so delicious perfect for the rainy weather we've been having! I would recommend to try this hidden gem. The vibes are so chill. read more

Best Thai food I have found in the area. The woman who works the front is always so nice and remembers me from when I came all the time while pregnant. Inside is small so I always order Togo.

Satu Thai Bistro - Drunken noodle with chicken, oh so good! Thank you, Nim! - Thai Near Me - Azusa, California

I placed a to go order online and food was already ready when I arrived. The restaurant is very small, I took a glance and saw about only a handful of tables so I'm glad I did takeout. The employee who gave me the order was friendly. I ordered the chicken satay, shrimp fried rice, green curry with chicken and pad see ew with chicken. Everything tasted fresh and had great flavor! My husband who is not a huge fan of Thai food even enjoyed it. My favorites were the shrimp fried rice and green curry. I am a huge baby when it comes to spice. However, I do appreciate a small kick so I did mild spice for both the green curry and pad see ew. The pad see ew was way too spicy for me. It tasted good but as soon as the spice kicked in, I could not taste my food anymore. I will skip out on the spice for that next time. I also ordered Thai tea with boba and it was perfect! This restaurant is located in the tiny shopping center off of Sierra Madre between Azusa and San Gabriel streets. It is a random location but so conveniently close to me, I'll definitely be back! Parking is actually not too bad as there is a proportionate amount of parking spaces to the amount of small businesses there. read more

I've been coming here the last 10-12 years since a friend who lived nearby introduced me. It's been our go to for Thai in an oddly competitive area. Must get the Thai bbq chicken with sticky rice! Pad Thai is delicious and not saucy. Spicy beef salad is also really good! Panang curry is a must! The spice is on point (if you want it to be). Pro tip: order online for pick up! Thank you for all the years of good food! read more

No outside drinks or food allowed! Satu Thai Bistro is located in Azusa and it shares a small parking space with other businesses. Therefore it's hard to find a parking space during lunch time and I'm assuming dinner time as well. The dining area is small and it's got about 6 tables (mostly for parties of 2). The first waitress had a BRF and was not friendly at all. However, halfway through another waitress took over and she was friendly and very pleasant! If it wasn't for her I don't think I would've had a good reason to come back. We ordered their calamari as an appetizer and it was just okay. Our table ordered from their lunch special menu ($10: you get side salad, veggie egg roll, white or brown rice with certain dishes). It's extra if you want to get organic quinoa $1.75. Choice of chicken or tofu comes with the dishes and if you want beef (+$1), shrimp (+$2), and if you want a fried egg it will be (+$1.50). Shrimp mixed vegetables was just another okay dish. Black pepper garlic with shrimp, pad Thai with shrimp and pad see ew with tofu. All of the dishes were nothing special. Feel like they were not that generous with the protein. I didn't like the egg roll as it's soggy on the inside. I would come here as a convenience and if I feel like having Thai food. read more

I have not tried their food yet but their coconut ice cream is AMAZING! The ambiance: the space is small, around 5-6 tables but it's very clean inside Service: Staff is nice and friendly Food: You MUST try their coconut ice cream, it is addicting and yummy read more

They have really good curries and their meat is high quality. The red curry is great as a first timer!

Food is good .. not the best in town but for what it is good enough.. You will get your Thai craving fixed.

Parking: The parking lot is on the smaller side. It can be a little hard to get in and out. BBQ Chicken - this dish was under the chef's recommendations. The chicken had a nice crisp smoked flavor on the outside. While the inside was juicy and tender. The sauce was tangy, sweet and salty. Hit every note of umami when eaten together. Loved every bite. Give this one a try if you are in the mood for some chicken. It won't let you down! Pad Thai - the sauce for the noodles were a tad bit too sweet for my taste. Other than that it had immense flavor and was very filling. Overall: It was a great place to eat. I think next time I will do take out because a lot of people were doing that when I came. The place is a little small inside as well. They have about 5 tables. *Tips - they have LUNCH SPECIALS currently for $10. Lunch is from 11am - 2pm. Every lunch special comes with your choice of a main dish, side salad, veggie egg roll and your choice of rice. Pretty great deal if you ask me! read more

I am glad that I tried this place, it's a small Thai restaurant in Azusa but it's a Gem. It's a cozy and simple place but the have one of the best Larb Salad I had. The server was nice and friendly, it's a warm day but their AC was good :) I noticed that there were a lot of order for to go during lunch. Check out the menu . Every thing looks fantastic as they serve it. We ordered Thais fried rice, it was perfectly spiced and good amount of meat and vegetables. Lard Salad was very good, I just hope that they gave more of the lettuce leaf, but you can request for more I heard. The boba on my Thai ice tea was so yummy. We will be trying the eggplant curry next time as suggested. They also gave us sorbet after our lunch it was also good. Try their lunch specials from 11:00 am to 2 pm. read more

The food was delicious and flavorful throughout and that medium level chili in the soup was burning my mouth. read more

Been here several times now. My daughter loves the wonton soup. I usually get the drunken noodles and my hubby switches up the curry and eggplant dish. The food has been consistent. I've only eaten in once because this place is so tiny...maybe a few tables as others have mentioned. So it's usually take out for us. Also, the parking lot is tricky...very few spaces to accommodate several businesses. And then that tiny parking lot is flanked by one way streets, so be careful you're going in the right direction when you exit! I didn't take any stars off for that as that clearly wouldn't be fair. Customer service is always polite. Will definitely remain a regular. If you're looking for a new Thai place to try or happen to be in the hood, check it out! read more
