My friend had the seafood soup and loved it.
Vannessa W.

I've never had a bad experience at Thai Chef Cuisine. From the yellow curry to the mango sticky rice and everything I between, it's top-notch! Not only is the food delicious, but the service is wonderful and the establishment itself is very clean. Do yourself a favor and stop by Thai Chef to try their mango sticky rice...it's life-changing!

Pad Thai
Andy T.

Had a craving for Thai food and placed a takeout order for this spot. I used Uber Eats and was able to get a BOGO on the pad thai. Went close to 6:00 pm and there were plenty of parking spots available in a shared plaza. It wasn't busy at the time so I was able to get my order quickly. Everything was ready and packed when I got there! I appreciate that they put the peanuts in a separate container. For the order, I got the Pad Thai and the combo platter. The pad thai was on the sweeter side. I got my order with pork as the protein choice. I felt if a lime was provided, it would help balance out the flavors of the noodles. The peanut was kept in a separate container, which I appreciated. The platter consists of a variety of items from dumplings, egg rolls, cream cheese wonton, wonton, and shrimp tempura. The container had holes to allow for the steam to escape, so most of the items were still crispy. Nothing from the platter particularly stands out in taste, besides possibly cream cheese wonton. Overall, it felt like an okay option if you're in the area.

This rating is based on my experience with pick up order via an app. Thai Chef Cuisine is a traditional small Thai food restaurant in a small plaza in Azusa. Service is great as I ordered two orders of pad see ew and it is ready for pickup before estimated time frame and they are very warm and friendly. Vibe inside is small and traditional eatery and restaurant. Pad see ew is tasty and yummy, comes with carrot, egg, broccoli, flat noodles and with good flavor and not overly sweet. Everyone likes this dish as we are in a rush and need to eat in the car. Box portion is normal. Not too big or too small. Overall, price, service, and food are more than satisfactory. I will come back for quick meal or to go.

Affordable all day special entrees! All this for only $13.50! Comes with a side of salad and egg rolls! Can't complain about the pad thai, loved that they brought out all the spices/seasonings for me.

The restaurant

This food was DELICIOUS! We ordered the large Won Ton soup (amazing flavor - huge wontons, a tiny bit of cilantro for a fresh addition, broth so flavorful we're bringing the rest of it home!). We ordered the pad Thai lunch special and it was fabulous, too. Great flavor and plenty for two or maybe even three. We will definitely come back again!!

Thai Tea

This place is the perfect hole-in-the-wall spot--cozy, welcoming, and full of charm. There's a decent amount of seating inside. While the place isn't huge, it feels homey and comfortable, like a true local gem. The food was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and truly authentic Thai. We ordered a variety of dishes to share: Thai tea, Tom Yum, Pad Thai, and Pad See Ew. Everything came out quickly and was served hot. The portions were generous and definitely sharable. Perfect for family-style dining. A special shoutout to the owners, who were incredibly kind and friendly. As a nice bonus, students from Azusa Pacific University get a free Thai tea with student ID, which is such a thoughtful touch! Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for tasty Thai food and a place that makes you feel right at home.

Panang Curry
Yule S.

I suddenly realized that I never wrote a review for this restaurant-my hidden secret favorite. I've eaten there more than a dozen times. Why have I never mentioned it? From a lunch set that used to cost $6.95 to the current price of $12.50, I've been eating at this restaurant for almost a decade. I used to live in Glendora, just across the street from Citrus College. The restaurant, located on Citrus Ave, is only about a mile south of my home. I love Thailand, and I also love Thai food. The restaurant offers an All Day Special set for $12.50 with 9 options, and every one of them is good. Sadly, it used to have 17 options as the Lunch Special. Some dishes have been removed, like Chow Mein, Stir-Fried Basil Leaves with protein, and other stir-fried items. But you can still order them from the regular menu-Chow Mein is available as a single dish for $12. The set includes an entrée, mostly curries: red, yellow, green, or Panang. Red curry is the spiciest; green curry is mixed with coconut milk; and Panang has more flavor than yellow. You can choose a protein: beef, pork, or chicken. Pork is the best-if you eat pork. The set also includes a salad, a spring roll, and a bowl of white rice. I still miss the old lunch set-it came with both a soup and a salad. I always asked the restaurant to swap the salad for an extra soup. That soup was umami-rich, smelled like chicken, and had a few grains of rice at the bottom of the bowl. I miss it. For such a good restaurant, I honestly have nothing bad to say. I've tried almost every dish on the menu, and I've never had a bad experience. It's just an authentic Thai restaurant that consistently maintains its standards. Strongly recommended.

Very disappointing Pad Thai
Christy C.

Ordered Pad Thai via Uber Eats (they have BOGO promo for $15.99) and I'm so disappointed! I had high expectations after reading all the great reviews but this is definitely the worst Pad Thai I've ever had! It got delivered to me in less than 30 minutes and it was still piping hot so I was really excited! As soon as I took the first bite, I noticed it was ridiculously sour. It literally tastes like lemon noodles with plenty of bean sprouts, some peanuts, and a couple chunks of chicken and not much egg or green onion. This is definitely not the authentic Pad Thai I'm used to. Pad Thai is supposed to be slightly sore and sweet but not THIS sore! Definitely would not recommend or order again unfortunately.

Pad Thai
Maritza S.

Stopped here while on a road trip. It was one of the few places open on thanksgiving day. Ordered pad Thai and pad see ew. Both dishes were okay. Plenty of parking in their parking lot.

Tofu satay, Tofu Prik King, Vegetable Pad Thai, Tofu pineapple fried rice and one very handsome lunch date.
Jessica B.

Youguys. They use gluten-free soy sauce!!! I cannot tell you how excited I was to find Thai food that I can eat! Both the restaurant and my stomach confirm that a lot of their dishes are gluten-free. Plus, they have a lot of vegetarian and vegan options and ALL of their soups are cooked in vegetable broth. Anyways, aside from that....the food is actually really good. We shared the tofu satay, vegetable pad Thai, tofu pineapple fried rice and tofu prik king - all were delicious. The tofu satay was a bit underwhelming, but still good. Service was wonderful, very attentive and kind. The restaurant is a little hole in the wall and everything was clean. Wish it were a little closer to us cuz we'll be here a lot.

On a rainy day, a warm bowl of Thai coconut soup feels like the world choosing to be gentle. Thai Chef Cuisine in Azusa is known for its flavorful food, friendly service, and good value. Some of their creative items include: Pumpkin Curry with Salmon, Crab Fried Rice, Thai Chef Noodle with Duck and the Beef Salad. Other popular items include: Fried Fish Cake and the Tom Kha Seafood (Coconut Soup). Complete your meal with their famous Sweet Sticky Rice with Mango, Thai Iced Tea and Thai Iced Coffee . They offer pepper on the side so you can adjust the spice levels. The staff is friendly, attentive, and professional, contributing to a welcoming and homey atmosphere.

Pad See Ew
John S.

To this day, one of the best Thai food spots my wife and I have been to. They always have a smile on their faces and the food has never failed to taste great. The restaurant is quiet and offers a damn good takeout as well. We've been coming here since late 2018 and, since we've moved to Texas, made a point to come here at least once every trip home.

Updated post and long-overdue review!…read more 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!

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.

I realize it may be uncommon for guests to bring a service dog in a stroller, but our small dog is a diabetic alert animal that needs to remain close to the breath, sweat, and skin of the diabetic. Although this is intended to be a restaurant review, I am truly grateful that this restaurant is so welcoming to service animals. Regarding the food, the kitchen always hits it out of the park. We ordered two appetizers, specifically the crispy pork and fried calamari. Our entrees included pad Thai with shrimp, pad see ew with chicken, Panang curry, and red curry with beef, which I believe was served with roti. We also enjoyed Thai iced tea and Vietnamese coffee. I was looking forward to their mango sago and mango with sticky rice, but unfortunately, they were out of mangoes.

I'm almost surprised I saw that many people in there I thought the business was going down. I normally go elsewhere for Thai but this was closer and wanted to give it a try. I live 2 blocks away but am loyal to my favorite Thai spot. The food is good, I had their Pad See Ew with chicken which was good. I still like my spot better. The calamari was good, though I'm disappointed they only serve the rings which I guess is more sought after. I personally like the tentacles but that's just me. Overall, food and quality is good THOUGH I'm not appreciative of the price point. My spot in West Covina costs the same BUT is much bigger portion, almost double. That's my only gripe with this place. Price. Paid $40+ for Pad See Ew and Calamari (which is expensive for an appetizer).

Authentic Thai and Chinese fusion taste. The star of the show was the flaming drunken noodle. It's probably one of the best drunken noodles we've had. At extra spicy, it definitely brought the flame and the foavor in a big way. The portions and prices were great.

Interest captured by the vivid scents wafting from the kitchen and the mostly positive Yelp reviews, I boomeranged back 24 hrs later to place my maiden order. I went with Shanghai Egg Rolls and the Yang Chow Fried Rice, but I'd asked them to substitute more chicken and Chinese sausage for the shrimp, as your favorite Yelp correspondent has never enjoyed shrimp in any form other than cocktails. The staff is exceedingly nice!!! Owner/proprietor JOSEPH and his wife skate around as balls of determined energy, but with welcoming smiles affixed to their faces. The prices are pretty reasonable- My tab for a generous multi-protein entree and appetizer was $19.34 including taxes. But can we please have a conversation about the flavors? Couwami partisans! Tell me-- Did your faithful correspondent order the wrong items?! My Shanghai Egg Rolls were undercooked, limp and flaccid. The flavors were solid but the texture was so off-putting and uncharacteristic for a typical egg rolls, that I could barely get them down. The Yang Chow Fried Rice was also undercooked- I'm used to fried rice that has a toasted, beigy-yellow finish with chicken or pork cooked to at least medium to medium well doneness. My entree was, as the picture attest, a faint ivory hue and I actually hadta toss it in my skillet for five minutes to toast up the rice and finish cooking the tendrils of chicken, which were served medium rare, a micro-degree above pink but with the unpleasant mouth feel of sushi. Not exactly the way you'd expect your proteins to be prepared! I'm a huge believer in redemption. And judging by the hundreds of 4.2 level reviews on Yelp, I suppose its possible I just caught the cook on a bad night or ordered the WDT (Wrong Damn Thing)...twice! I'd normally accord two stars but will bump this up to three based on the utter civility and decency that Joseph and his staff extended to me.
