They are located on Garvey Ave within the Vikon Center in Rosemead. This spot used to be a Vietnamese restaurant a very long time ago. It brought back some nostalgia when I walked through the doors. Upon entry, I was greeted by a nice gentleman behind the counter. He may have been the owner not 100% sure though. Good interior seating space. Nice and clean. Lots of windows with great sunlight shining through. Their menu has quite a variety of Thai dishes and some intriguing ones, too. Prices were fair. I usually get my go-to dish which is the Pad Woon Sen (glass noodles) with seafood. This time I got it with just shrimp. Of course, I had to get an order of fried bananas. They make them to order. Just know you're getting them fresh from the fryer every time. I also got one Thai Green Tea drink. Everything from noodles to bananas to drink were very good. I appreciate the 5-6 big shrimps in the Pad Woon Sen. Glass noodles were firm and not mushy. Tomatoes and green onions were fresh. Wok flavor was on point. Good quality dish! I would get it again. As for the fried bananas, they weren't as good as the first time I had them. Don't get me wrong, they were very hot and fresh. Good portions, too. I just think they were thin with the batter and also they probably needed to sit a little bit prior to eating them. Thai Green Tea was refreshingly good. I love drinks with crushed ice! Glad I tried them. Definitely a spot I would return to so I may try their other specialty Thai dishes. Maybe I'll dine-in next time.

The interior was well lit, filled with pretty flowers, and they even had some Thai music playing! After looking through the menu we finally ordered. Our table ordered the chicken red curry, shrimp butter fried rice, beef pad see ew, and pad gra pow. Everything was pretty standard across the board, just very good authentic Thai food. Only thing is that the pork from the pad gra pow was a little salty and not as fatty/tender as I'd like. Parking was very easy.

Our favorites are the Pad See Ew, Thai omelet, Chinese broccoli with crispy pork, duck curry, and basil eggplant -- everything is so flavorful and delicious. The Thai iced tea is always a must too.

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!

This was actually my first time dining in at the restaurant, and flavor-wise it's definitely just…read moreas good as I remembered. Solid prices and good tasting food overall. When I first arrived, I honestly thought it was closed since it was dark and empty, but it turns out they have a side dining room separate from the main entrance. It's not the prettiest place to sit, so I'll probably stick to takeout in the future, but the food itself is definitely tasty for the price. Here's what I tried this time around: Seafood Pad See Ew - Not the best I've had, but still pretty good. Nice mix of seafood and solid flavor. (4/5) Panang Curry - Very tasty and a generous portion for $13. Creamy, flavorful, and comforting. (4.5/5) Chili Thai Chicken - If you're into fried-style chicken, this one hits. Crispy, a bit oily, and very satisfying. (4.5/5) Mango Sticky Rice - The coconut sticky rice was warm, plentiful, and delicious. The mangoes were on the older side with a bit more bite, though still sweet. Rice: (5/5) | Mangoes: (3.5/5) Overall, I'd definitely eat here again, most likely as takeout. I really appreciated that each entree came with rice instead of charging extra, and the service was very friendly.

It's a simple, delicious dish but a bit oily. Overall (4/5): Would definitely go for the lunch special offerings. Plenty to choose from and was surprisingly busy for a weekday lunch. Service was ok and food was good for the price. It's pretty busy and a bit noisy inside too.

The flavor of the panang curry was on point, the curry puff was crunchy on the outside and it tasted like Indian curry flavor on the inside, almost like a samosa. For the pad kee mao, made the mistake of choosing a level 2 spicy and it was a little spicy for me. I'll make sure to choose level 1 next time. I felt the lad na was a little underwhelming. It was brought in a big soup bowl, but I've had it on a plate with gravy on top. Way too much gravy, like a soup. Overall, it was good and I would come back and try other dishes.

Hibiscus Iced Tea: Tastes Good. Lightly sweet and subtly tart. Chicken Khao Soi: A Northern Thai-style dish featuring pickled mustard greens, bean sprouts, shallots, and crispy fried egg noodles soaked in a coconut curry broth--it tastes good. The broth performs well, though Manaao in Tustin serves a more delicious version. Yet, eating noodles with only a fork and spoon, and no chopsticks provided? Coconut Pandan Ice Cream: It is okay, about the same quality as what you would find in a supermarket. If it were not for the Dine LA deal and the desire to try somewhere new, there would be no reason to drive 50 minutes here from Irvine.
