I was skeptical coming to this place but I am so glad I went in and ordered food! I am definitely coming back for more and trying their lunch special! I had their orange chicken meal and it was amazing! I wanted to eat all of it but I had to stop myself. Their wontons are so crunchy with the middle part is so soft. My bf had the meat skewer and it was not chewy and it definitely had flavor.

Expired beef broccoli.

I have to say, it hurts me to leave a bad review on a place like this but this has got to be by far the worst food I have ever had. The pad see ew had pieces of egg shells all over, the beef broccoli meat was absolutely disgusting, it didn't even taste like beef. It tasted like it could be rat meat and expired at that. The only thing that was OK was the orange chicken. Everything was old or burnt- from the rice, to the broccoli. It was a waste of money to say the least, I had to throw everything away because I didn't want to get sick. This place needs a food inspection asap.

Pad Thai
Brenda M.

Food was super fresh and flavorful. Have a good variety, from traditional Thai to more Americanized dishes for those picky eaters like me. Our order was taken quickly and the server was attentive to our needs. I also like the decor/paintings. You can smell the lovely spices as soon as you walk in! Great spot.

Noodles

I could've sworn I reviewed this place before, but I guess not. If I have, here's a bit more: Vegetarian review: - green curry: salty. Flavor is right, but salty. The fried tofu texture was great. Fried, but soft. - rice does NOT come with curry. You order it separately. - pad see ew: this was good. Tasty, flavorful, and probably a hair better than others. This is a small hole in the wall, and service was good (it was a call-in order, pick-up). Parking: easy.

Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodle) Lunch Special, comes with white rice + eggroll and soup
Emily L.

Great takeout for the price! I'm a big fan of their lunch specials that come with white rice, egg roll, and a soup. Highly recommend their pad kee mao (drunken noodle), pad see ew, and boat noodle! The Boat Noodle DEFINITELY has a kick. It is pretty spicy and I was unable to select a spice level online. It was a great flavor and not as sweet as some spots can be.

Clean and nice wide view of Bellflower Blvd.

Dined in before ugly storm 2-13-25. So this place use to be called Thai Melody I think. And honestly have never tried it so my friend and I decided, why the heck not. After our Gardening Club meeting in Bellflower, we really wanted something tasty. And Aon was the sweetest person to serve us. She made great recommendations for our next visit. The lunch specials are THe BOMB. So much food for $12.95!! Can't beat it. The pad thai with pork was perfect noodles, not too sweet and balanced with fresh bean sprouts. And the pork was soft and tender, not hard. Yay! The soup with the meal was good too, they even added brocoli & carrots. Not much of the places we eat at ever get this nutritious. Lunch combo comes with an egg roll too. Oh boy! Crispy. My friend ordered the yellow curry and that was a lot of food as well. We both shared so we got to try it all. There are probably 6-7 tables to sit 4 ppl each. There was enough parking spots there next to the Laundry Mat. Bathroom is decent. Most of all the service was superb and food amazing. We are going to hit this place up for more thai food awesomeness!!

Crying tiger
Jessica P.

Not my favorite but wanted to give it a chance. The crying tiger steak looks like it was cooked long ago then served. Sauce not spicy or sour. Bummer

Pretty solid option for a local Thai restaurant. Love the newly decorated store and friendly service. Price is also pretty reasonable. I got the drunken noodles today and it was pretty good. I'll be back to try their lunch specials next time.

Hair in food

Ordered take out yesterday - there were egg shells in my pad Thai and a hair in my That Boat Noodles. First experience with this place was horrible based on the food I received. Won't be ordering from here again.

Mango sticky rice

The combination of authentic Thai tea paired with the tantalizing decadence of mango sticky rice and service is a win!!! Give this place a spin

Egg rolls
Lori G.

I was looking for a new spot to try on my lunch break and after seeing the photos I decided to give this new spot a try. I'm glad it did! The food was delicious and the service was great. They were very attentive and friendly. Nice clean and cute ambiance. I'll definitely be back. Lots of food for the price too! I had drunken noodles and the egg rolls and a Thai tea!

I ordered the Thai Boat Noodle and my husband got the Noodle King special. Honestly, it's basically…read morethe same broth, the king version just loads it up with brisket, tendon, tripe, and meatballs, so think of it as a fully stacked boat noodle. The broth is the star here. It's rich, flavorful, slightly sweet with a tangy kick, pretty sure there's some tangerine going on in there. Just a heads up, even "mild spicy level" has a noticeable heat, so if you're sensitive to spice, don't try to be brave... go no spice. The meats were surprisingly good, tender, not chewy, which is where a lot of places mess up. Noodles came out hot, no complaints there. We also got mango sticky rice and this is where they really sealed the deal. Mango was perfectly in season, juicy, sweet, not that sad sour off-season stuff. Sticky rice was soft and actually tasted like it was made fresh, not reheated from yesterday. Waitress was attentive and nice. Place itself is small, clean, modern, very mom-and-pop but done right, not rundown. I will definitely come back.

Ordered from here via third party app…read more Papaya Salad: it was okay. It came with pieces of cabbage (as opposed to wedges I normally get from other Thai places). I like how's there's more dressing as you get the taste of it in every bite. The dressing however was a little too fish forward for me and you don't get much acid. IMO, the fish sauce and lemon (acid) should balance each other out. They use big tomatoes cut into wedges (as opposed to cherry tomatoes which I normally have at other Thai restaurants), And they give a good amount of food. Chow Mein: my boyfriend ate this. He said it was okay. It looked pretty good to me. Thai ice tea: I ordered this with boba. And as I was drinking it, I don't know what was in it but it definitely was not boba. It was orange with a chewy texture. I checked the receipt and it clearly says BOBA.

It was a last minute decision to go out to dinner, and we arrived a little after 8 PM. When we got there, the front door was wide open and there were quite a few people inside, so we walked in. The woman at the front asked, "Can I help you?" My husband asked if they had a table available for three. She looked around and then responded, "Well, are you going to order fast? Because we're closing at 9." I completely understand that we arrived close to closing, and I'll take responsibility for not checking the hours beforehand. Had I known they closed at 9, we probably wouldn't have come in that late. That said, the way it was communicated was very unwelcoming, especially as first-time customers who had never been to the restaurant before. There are definitely more courteous ways to let customers know that the kitchen or restaurant is closing soon. We ended up leaving and eating somewhere else. Unfortunately, the interaction left such a negative first impression that I don't see myself coming back.

If you love karaoke and Thai food, this is definitely the place to go!…read more I love the party lights and the disco they got going on during karaoke!! Lol it's located in a plaza, so there's plenty of parking! They start karaoke around 7p and it was a fun time lol. The food is great, highly recommend the pad thai, krapow over rice, and the Lao style papaya salad! The food is sooo flavorful and depending on who makes the Lao style papaya salad (my favorite), it can be on the fishier and more pungent side. But their papaya salad was pretty balanced. Lao style is generally more sour, spicy, and pungent whereas Thai style tends to be sweeter and lighter tasting. Also, if you're not a fan of spice or have a more sensitive stomach, do NOT get medium spice lol. Your stomach might hurt. Even though we were finished eating and had been there for almost 2 hours, the staff were still serving us water and offered the very front seat as the "free seat" to sit at, since it's a non serving table. But it was getting late, so we decided to leave. You'll def get your money's worth!

Chicken satay skewers with peanut dipping sauce Papaya salad with shrimp also spicy and refreshing Thai iced tea came in a carafe Ended with mango sticky rice dessert. Lively atmosphere especially with the match on TV. Attentive service considering it was pretty busy for the night. Plentiful parking spaces.

Avengers Assemble! So we have been coming to this place for…read moreover a decade... basically since the first Iron Man movie came out. It is always 6 out of 5 stars. This is defintely the best Thai food in the area. It hits your tastebuds harder than Hulk smashing Loki. The curries are rich in flavor and the noodles are perfectly cooked,, the texture is just spot on. I feel like Doctor Strange when I eat here just experiencing all the different flavor timelines at once. The Pad Kra Pow is superb and the seafood is just divine! But here is the real superpower. they can make dishes with absolutely no sugar! I usually keep a pretty close eye on carbs and sugar, so finding a spot that does this is huge. Most places can't do that cause their curries are pre-prepped like mass-produced Ultron bots. But Original Thai makes it to order from scratch. It is like Shuri customizing your gear right in the Wakandan lab. The ladies here are super friendly and treat you like family.. Prices are very reasonable so you don't need Tony Stark money to eat like a king. Food and service are wonderful. Highly recomended.

I've been coming to this location for the past 4 years and have tried many different dishes but my go-to dishes are the Yellow Curry and Garlic Pepper Chicken. The portions are big enough to share and the rice is always spot on with the meat dishes. They have the pickled chili on the table and offer additional hot sauces if needed. The location is on the smaller size with limited seating but the turnaround wait for food is quick so whether you wait to dine in or take it home it'll be worth it.
