For $13 I got a huge meal for two people. Their three item combo is so filling that I enjoyed a…read morenice indulgent fast food moment once in a while I came on a weekend lunch hour and there was a line forming, there's usually just one staff helping out so it did take some time but it wasn't much of a wait. Inside was small, four tables for seating but ordering to go is what I usually do anyways. I would like to point out that there's not restroom and yes there's packed cookies to purchase such as almond cookies or fortune cookies. You have the choice of fried rice, chow mein, or white rice. Then there's plenty of items to choose from which my favorite so far is their orange chicken, teriyaki chicken, and bbq pork. Bbq pork was a bit chewy for the lean ones but the fatty pieces were great. Orange chicken was actually pretty good, yea some were soggy but the fresh ones were surprisingly good and crispy. Teriyaki chicken was tender and marinated well, I enjoy the chicken skin and love that it's dark meat. The sauce was sweet and savory, it is watery versus other places but I do prefer this version. Overall I enjoyed coming here for a moment of big meal moments for a valued price! Also near my Tesla charging station so a quick eats would definitely make waiting better.

We just might start waiting for our cars so we can grab a bite here! Unassuming little spot in a busy shopping center filled with health & beauty shops and a market.

And my soup was perfectly balanced w citrus and spicy heat. Just a warning to check for peanuts in case you have an allergy. I don't, but my daughter does. They were kind in their response. Staff is super friendly too! We'll definitely be back. I can't wait to try out more items in the menu!

(Almost) everything is served in to-go containers which makes taking leftovers home very convenient. We ended up taking the curry home and the employee helped pack it up. Fried wontons with cream cheese: 3/5 Not my favorite, but my cousin who really likes these types of dishes really enjoyed it! Drunken noodle: 4.5/5 Pretty good! Aptly sweet and a little spicy (we ordered mild). Wish there was a bit more meat but not a big deal. Papaya salad: 5/5 Yum! Crunchy and vibrant. Definitely squeeze the lime on there! It was pungent in the best way. Pad see ew: 3.5/5 This was alright. They use broccoli instead of gai lan, and it was too sweet for me. Mango sticky rice: 5/5 Solid! No stringy mango and it was sweet. The rice was warm, sweet from the coconut cream.

Not something I'd do all the time, but it's a cool concept--especially if you want to try instant ramen varieties you've never had before. The staff was super friendly, and they had a good selection of ramen to choose from. The toppings selection was decent, though nothing too crazy. We ended up getting a combo (10% off if you order a drink + ramen + toppings) and spent only $23 total for two ramens, a few toppings, and a drink. As for quality--well, it's exactly what you'd expect: instant ramen! The sides were pretty good, and the drink we had was tasty overall. I love the concept, and it's something fun to do every once in a while. It's not top-of-the-line food, but you get a unique experience while enjoying your favorite instant ramen flavors.

GREAT FOR WHAT IT IS. After going to Yoshinoya so many times for some cheap and fast food, I got…read moretired and wanted to try something different. Every time I went to Yoshinoya, I passed by this Thai restaurant in this plaza that I didn't even know existed. So one day, I decided to give it a try.... and I'm so glad I did! What surprised me so much about this place was the price of everything. At $13.99 each for their Pad Thai and Drunken noodles, you are NOT going to find that price anywhere in this area with today's prices lol. Is the food here at the level of President Thai on Rosemead? No. But for the price you're paying, I'm really impressed and the food is still pretty good. At their ~$14 price point, they're also giving their big-chain neighbor, Yoshinoya, a run for their money too. They also have a BOGO free Thai Tea so don't forget to take advantage of that! What I want to harp on and warn everyone about though, is that the restaurant seemed very hot inside. I came at 2:30 p.m. on a Saturday afternoon in the summer and it seemed like they didn't have any AC working. Luckily, I ordered for take-out, but I definitely would not have been comfortable eating in the restaurant. I felt their portion sizes could be a bit bigger. I know I praise their low prices, but maybe that is the small trade-off--I felt those to-go boxes could be filled up a bit bigger! But minor harps aside (at least for me) I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for cheap and fast Thai food. The workers here (seemed like a family?) all seem very friendly and helpful and I encourage everyone to support local small businesses and give this place a try!

There was a young man and a young woman working the counter and they were both polite and took my order quickly, which I appreciated since I was on a time crunch. The restaurant itself was pretty quiet when I visited. They had a TV on inside and the space had a few booths and a couple of tables. I didn't notice any outdoor seating. I ordered the lunch special for $12.99, which came with pad Thai, white rice, wonton chips, a salad, and soup. The pad Thai was okay, although I've definitely had more flavorful versions before. I asked for a side of limes and that actually helped bring out the flavor a bit more. The wonton chips were great and came with a delicious sauce on top. The soup and salad were both really tasty and flavorful. Overall, it was a good meal for a reasonable price. I'd definitely be interested in coming back to try some different items on the menu.
