    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

    Clean and nice wide view of Bellflower Blvd.
    Jaydee D.

    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!!

    Menu as of July 31, 2024

    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

    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!

    Thai Boat Noodle
    Ravy M.

    Food is Good! This mom and pop Thai restaurant popped up as I was exploring what to eat for lunch. Had the Thai boat noodles and the crab fried rice. Both were tasty. The prices were reasonable and they give good portion size. Will definitely come again to try the other food they have to offer.

    Papaya salad (no shrimps)
    Sarah H.

    Used to come here when it was Jazz Melody but today was the first time I came here since it switched to Thai Chili Express. I ordered the papaya salad and the green curry. I'm saving the curry for tomorrow but had one bite and it's very flavorful! The papaya salad was good too. I got it mild and no shrimp and it was perfect! They gave lots of cabbage to eat with the papaya salad. The green curry doesn't come with eggplant like I was used to but the lady said if I want that in the future, to let her know and they will add it for me. So def will do that next time! Food was very good and I'm planning on coming back more often again. I forgot to take a pic of the curry but remembered to take one of the papaya salad

    Chicken fried rice is so delicious! The set up is nice and has flowers on every table. Really love the food and staff here!

    This place really is Asian fusion! The menu is so diverse with so many flavors of different Asian…read morecuisines. I felt almost confused at first, like as if the restaurant wasn't even sure of its own identity. However, once I started eating the food, I understood and am extremely impressed. I had ordered the crawfish pasta, popcorn chicken (spicy), and fried baos. The pasta was cooked perfectly with chunks of crawfish and sausage in a creamy tomato-esque sauce. I usually don't care for crawfish, but it was so delicious here. The sauce was so buttery and creamy, and the sausage added a cajun spice to the dish. The components are all very seafood boil, but felt different and innovative with unique flavors. The popcorn chicken was seasoned very well and had the perfect fried, crispy texture you'd expect from popcorn chicken. What really made this unique was the sauce that it was served with. I am not sure what exactly the sauce is, but it tastes like a ginger scallion sauce that is served with Chinese boiled chicken. The sauce is a little more elevated and flavorful than a traditional ginger scallion sauce. I would've never thought to combine popcorn chicken with it, but it works! The fried baos were the most surprising to me. I was keeping my expectations low because I usually think frying something that's not normally fried doesn't always bode well. Fear not, the baos were fried perfectly. They were fried lightly while the inside kept your typical bao consistency. Also, in case you were wondering the type of bao, it is basically a steamed bao with ground pork, and I think an egg yolk inside. The flavors felt very much like traditional dim sum, yet new and fresh. Hats off to the chefs and the creators of these dishes. So innovative while still keeping the familiar Asian flavors! I ordered delivery, so this review was solely based off of the food.

We were craving some warm pho on a cold night, and Soup Shop sounded like the perfect spot. The plaza Soup Shop is located in is usually super crowded, but if you go after 9pm when most of the other restaurants and shops are closed, you'll find plenty of parking. Write your name down on the waiting list at the front podium and then wait for your name to be called. They have a few seats to wait right outside the door. Once we were seated, we were given menus. I really like that their menu has a lot of large photos of the dishes, so you know what you're getting! Once we ordered, the food came out pretty quickly despite being busy. For appetizers, we ordered the Crunchy Pork "Bao" since it sounded unique. Inside the bao is pork shoulder, mushroom, Vietnamese sausage, and quail egg. The outside has a thin, perfectly crispy layer that gives a nice little crunch when you bite into it. Really enjoyed these and would recommend! We also got the Crusted Parmesan Cauliflower. Not sure what's in the sauce, but it's sweet, tangy, and delicious! It's also topped with fried onion, cilantro, cucumber, and parmesan cheese. Also a winner! For entrees, we got the Chicken Pho and the Pho Ribeye. For the chicken Pho, you can get it with thigh or breast meat. I got it with breast meat, and they gave a good amount of meat! A little dry, but I appreciated that it was nice and lean. The flavor of the soup is really good. Pho Ribeye was also tasty! Hit the spot.

I had this spot on my bookmarks for years, so I am glad to finally be able to stop by here. The process was a bit confusing when I first walked in, as there were no employees at the front counter - 2 of them were busy in the back cooking, eating, and talking and the other one was focused on making more boba and the trash, I guess. I did a walkthrough to look at everything, then I came back to the front counter and noticed the signages on the side wall about purchasing a cup first, then adding toppings and filling up your drink, then coming back to the front counter to get your drink sealed by an employee. I waited in line patiently, as the employees were all in the back doing various things, and the guy who was bringing out the boba and changing the trash finally came out. I noted that he was wearing the same gloves he did while taking out the trash and started to ring customers in front of me up and help seal finished boba cups wearing those same dirty gloves. I was disgusted, but since I drove a long way for this spot, I decided to stay, as he is only touching the outside of the cup anyway, and I will just wipe it down later. Anyway, I bought a cup and filled it with some ice, my favorite milk tea - jasmine milk tea, and boba. I do wished that they had a couple other toppings I liked though. I was ready to have my drink sealed and waited patiently for the employee to seal it. Overall, it was a good concept they have going on and it is one of those one time experiences at least for me, but they have to work on their cleanliness because there were 2 employees in the back cooking food for customers while eating themselves while cooking in front of it and the other employee wearing the same gloves doing everything, even when changing / touching the trash.

We ordered the following: Bulgolgi Fries Garlic Steak Noodle Egg Cheese corn Ranking in best to so-so, I'd have to say is the steamed egg. Yes, I was surprised too. I thought the Bulgolgi fries would be number one. Sadly it's not. If you mess up steamed egg, ima gonna say no to the rest of your menu. I would order two next time and just stick to that. The cheese corn was okay, but compared to PaDak and other local Korean spot I say skip this. The cheese tasted weird to me and I did t like that it was also a kraft American cheese. As a cheese lover, I only expect that square cheese to be on a burger or cheese melt. The Bulgolgi Fries could serve 3 people. But it was drenched with sauce, and spicy sauce. Not enough Bulgolgi to pay $20. The cut of fries were this nd tasted like sweet potato. It just didn't fit my taste buds. The Garlic noodle okay. That's Al I have to say about that. I'm glad I finally tried this place, but I don't know if I would come back for anything on their menu. I would rather go next door or across the street.
