The food is wonderful and reasonably priced. It is also the only Thai restaurant which serves my favorite dish, Nam Sod, a ground pork salad that is delicious. I live in Cambria on the Central Coast but whenever I come down to LA I pick up ten orders of Nam Sod, as no Thai restaurant here makes it. I take it home and freeze it. Tastes great even reheated. The rest of their menu is excellent as well . read more

I don't know why we bother going here.. rudest people working there ever!! Just called to see what time they closed due to Easter and the lady that answered said "At 9 everyday!" And just hung up RUDE! Freaking we give them hundreds of dollars whenever we go there with a big party of people. Why do these types of people work in customer service baffles me Can Yelp utilize ZERO stars?!! read more

This place used to be a good value. No longer. I understand that post Covid food prices went up...but 34 bucks for two BBQ chicken dinners? In addition to that problem, they shrunk the mint chicken order (which is a la carte) and over spiced it to the extent that only a full on Thai person can eat it. Plus, the service sucks. It's like eating at a funeral parlors . read more

Thai Original BBQ - 2 BBQ chicken total - Thai Near Me - Glendale, California

We got quite an array of dishes. The staff were nice and accommodating for a party for 7. The food however I think was quite average. This was during the dinner rush but most of our food was slightly over cooked in general. The ambiance was alright in general for the price you're paying. The portion sizes were decent enough, six entrees for 7 people and we finished most of it. Overall quite mid, but I've heard when they're on their day it's quite good. Just wasn't the time we went I guess. read more

Hmmm I think its weird that this restaurant has a lower rating. I have been going here for years and it has always has been the same old good juicy thai chicken with the sweet sauce and hearty rice. They have the usual Thai dishes but the Thai chicken bbq is a must try here and is the reason I keep coming back. Service is not the most friendly but they're accomodating. There is always parking spots beside the restaurant. read more

I ordered the chicken pad Thai here earlier. I wanted to get a small thom kha soup as well but they only have the large, which was pricey. The pad Thai was very good, though I'd like a little more vegetables. The service wasn't great, but they cooked the food quick and it was hot. I didn't like the look and smell of the restaurant but whatever. The main drawback was just the prices of the appetizers, soups, and salads. They cost the same as the entrees. Even the spring rolls were $10. read more

I've been dining at Thai BBQ since high school. The original one on 3rd Ave. The glendale location is closer to me now but the food is almost exactly the same.

9-03-2024 Delicious dinner tonight at THAI BARBQ on Glendale Ave !! BETWEEN 4 of us we had 4 dishes ( chicken, pork, noodles, rice & vegetable- plus an appetizer - food was steaming when served & super tasty . Our waitress was very attentive, restated our order & served it immediately when it was ready. It made for a lovely evening & we WILL BE BACK !!! read more

Prices has gone up and the portions keep getting smaller, esp the beef sate skewers, less than half of the stick has meat. The pad Thai looked very pale, my mom said it didn't look like pad Thai. And the side order or cucumber salad was $7 lol. It's a cucumber. read more

I've been here 2 times only and so far I think the food is pretty good. Their specialty I think is chicken BBQ and spare ribs BBQ. I ordered the spare ribs combo (#S2, I think). It's yummy and I liked it. So the next I tried to order something else: garlic pork spare ribs. This one I like less. The pork smell is very strong, and I didn't enjoy it. The chicken satay was a big portion, it was not bad at all, I've tried better. I also tried the Tom Kha, it was good. I like their Thai ice tea. They made it just right, refreshing! The place is also big, and has comfortable seats. Staff are fast in taking orders, and always checking on your table. If we need something they came right away, I think that is really good but sometimes too fast as if they are rushing. Lol. I think over all this place I would give 3.75-star. Will I come back again? Yes, I think I will. read more

We have been going to this restaurant for years because the food usually is very good, occasionally it's been average. But what has consistently been the same is the poor service. This past Sunday was our last time going, it's ridiculous how there is hardly any service, you call out to your waitress because you need something and they just keep walking by. And when they do respond to you, they seem annoyed that you are asking for a refill or really for anything. For the amount of money that we spend there, I expect them to be at least courteous. The food is 3 stars, the service is "0" stars. read more

Definitely not the same Thai Original BBQ you might be used to. I was extremely disappointed with the drunken noodles. They were a far cry from what I expected, resembling a mix of noodles with lettuce and tomatoes--something I've never encountered before. Having always had great experiences at the Cerritos location, I assumed this Thai Original BBQ would offer the same quality. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. I won't be coming back. read more

Thai Original BBQ - Drunken Noodles with lettuce and tomatoes?!? Worst version I've had ever. - Thai Near Me - Glendale, California

I should have read the reviews before I ordered so I could have gone with S8. Anyway, had S4 and it was good! I haven't had duck for a long time and it was cooked well. The serving was huge so I took half of it home and the dish tasted even better the following day. Shrimp fried rice was okay, although expected more shrimps and more flavor. My mom's friend ordered pad thai and it was bomb, probably the star dish of the night. My complaint is more on the waitress who was at the reception. She'd answer phone calls and stop talking to you mid-sentence despite people waiting by the door (on a very cold night) and was just rude that you feel rushed as soon as you get in. read more

This Thai Original BBQ has been around a lot loner than Yelp but I've never taken the time to actually eat there, I'm NO Thai food expert but do like it more than Chinese food, I think it generally has more flavor and spice/heat. So, after seeing the review by "Cindy S." and she giving them 4 Stars I thought it would be something I'd really like. Wow, was I wrong! Previous to this visit I always said "FU House" had the worst Fried Rice! Well for me today was an all-time low https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/thai-original-bbq-glendale?select=AghWMDFcMOHshz--Zktg7Q S-8 Sate Dinner ($17.00) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/thai-original-bbq-glendale?select=EZPknwcURxcjF_LSoKpbJQ "TENDER" sliced beef marinated in a mixture of Thai spices and Coconut milk, grilled to perfection and served on bamboo skewers, Served with Shrimp Fried Rice, Peanut Sauce and Cucumber salad. NO Substitutions. *Description per menu. Beef Sate https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/thai-original-bbq-glendale?select=buSnUvu5XRVhWDXonAyJgw Good flavor, sliced on the thick side but there was nothing tender about it, it was very tough and chewy. Peanut Sauce https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/thai-original-bbq-glendale?select=H1khfJ6jnV5SyyiMOW5apg Very good taste and consistency. Shrimp Fried Rice https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/thai-original-bbq-glendale?select=zIhcS3hv-mvrinWWSTy_Tw HORRIBLE..... First off this is NOT even fried! This is steamed rice with whatever is added to mock a fried rice, plus 2 Shrimp. NO way this even touched a wok! And the worst part it was flavorless, I've found a new worst fried rice, Thai Original BBQ wins!!! 2-Stars Garlic Short Ribs ($14.00) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/thai-original-bbq-glendale?select=FSvwus3jmv-6W0FwlS0k9A Pork Short Ribs bone in stir-fried with Garlic and Black Pepper sauce, topped with fresh Cilantro. *This was marked as a "Spicy Dish" https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/thai-original-bbq-glendale?select=cUw48QFr6FQRHEBTnXPy-A While I didn't really get garlic flavor, I got zero spiciness, not a lot of flavor but I did like the ribs! 4-Stars UNFORTUNATELY!!!!!!!!!!!! I ordered Plain Fried Rice (4.00) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/thai-original-bbq-glendale?select=nHQcOb8mx6LoRm4gQGq4nQ Same HORRIBLE Wannabe Fried Rice https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/thai-original-bbq-glendale?select=AghWMDFcMOHshz--Zktg7Q as above less the 2 shrimps. ZERO Stars!! Now, I need spice to my food and they didn't have any condiments on the table so when food arrived, I asked for some Chile, and waited, and waited, finally asked another server and was told ok, only to watch him go set up tables and NO patrons waiting to be seated, still waiting I asked a THIRD server, at least 5 minutes passes and original server I asked brought over the Chili and said sorry for the wait I had to get it from another table! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/thai-original-bbq-glendale?select=JB8Fh2F_5bgMj9LFeyCDKA just pathetic! read more

Had an impromptu get together at home for my birthday because Plan A was ruined due to weather. After trying to make last minute reservations for a group of 17 failed, I thought passing on the address and have the party show up at Thai BBQ, which after checking Yelp and seeing the delivery option, we decided to just have it delivered! The experience was great! After placing the order, the estimated time to delivery was pushed out an additional 30 mins, which I was very understanding of because it was a big 17 item order. Giving high marks not only for the great taste of everything from the S1, S2, S8, Pad Thai, and Drunken Noodles, but also for the accuracy and providing all the condiments as well! We received plenty of utensils, napkins, sauces, etc! We had plenty of leftovers and as always, Thai BBQ leftovers are the best. Totally made my day as I was able to enjoy celebrating with family with no worries. Five stars to the Yelp online ordering integration as well! read more

No more. We showed up at 8:41 and they let us stand there for 2 minutes and tells us they close at 9 and won't seat us. I will never go back. The food isn't that good anyway. It's more nostalgic than anything. I can do without it. Just close your booths and sell to go only. Been going there for 30+ years. It's your loss. read more

Food is cold and not tasting as good as the S1 chicken barbecue they make before. When we picked it up after 15 mins we called to place the order, it is ready but it is already cold. Not as good quality of food as before anymore. read more

Place charges for absolutely everything. Ice, napkins, utensils and even another container of hot sauce. I ordered a soup and instead of mussels I wanted to swamp it for shrimp and they charged me $10 extra for the swamp on top of that the soup was $18 which didn't make sense for them charging me $28. Don't come here go to another location definitely not this place lol. Place is also scattered with stuff on their seats such as napkins, paper bags, etc. read more

Thai Original BBQ - Inside - Thai Near Me - Glendale, California

Despite the reviews, I honestly gave this restaurant a shot with an open mind to support small business. However, the reviews are true. The food is just not great here....overcooked, dry, and the flavor was not there. We had a large order to go, over $120 and unfortunately it was disappointing and lacked flavor - even the fried rice! read more

I haven't been to this location in over twenty years and it's just as I remember: fast, delicious, great quality, and fair prices. We were a large party of 15 on a Sunday afternoon and were seated pretty quickly upon arrival. Our side of the table ordered the crab appetizer, S-1 BBQ chicken, S-8 beef satay, chicken curry, chicken fried rice, four Thai iced teas, and a Thai iced coffee. There was plenty of food for the six of us with leftovers to take home. The bbq was juicy and cooked perfectly while the beef satay was well-flavored and generously portioned. The chicken curry was almost too spicy for the teens to enjoy so we took it home for late night parental eats. With tip and tax our portion of the bill was $86. Nice! Thai Original BBQ continues to provide great food, service, and an overall excellent dining experience, all of which explains their loyal following. No pics -- we attacked the food upon arrival. read more

I wish I could give ZERO star. This is the place where the most unfriendly people work. The service is terrible. They hand over togo boxes with the same hands that touched the trash can. I never want to go back there. I feel like I'm going to get sick from the food I ate there. read more

We have waited for 40mins to get our foods. They are overcharging too. Always check your receipt before leaving.

Will the REAL Pied Piper PLEASE stand up and blow your flute past this place!!?!! I've always been aware of the horrible service and horrible hospitality. But my family and I loved the food for what used to be at a fair price... so we kept coming. Tonight, I ordered the S1, Pad Thai and shrimp soup. The usual. The prices have gone up since the last time I visited this place. And the flavor was not like how I remembered. As I sat there full, I hear what sounds to be rats running/scratching above me in the ceiling. I looked up and could see the brown tile-looking squares bounce up and down. My eyes trailed them as the ran around. You can only imagine what I felt and what my face looked like sitting there full before noticing. As I looked down from the ceiling, my eyes met with a man (another customer) sitting across the restaurant. We both started at each other like WHAT THEEE!! Fortunately for him, he just got there and I watched him get up and walk out. I am NEVER visiting this place again. read more

Honestly love the food here, my family and I usually get the S1 which is their BBQ chicken and rice, its so good! However, the reason why I gave a 3 star rating was due to their customer service. I get that the restaurant gets REALLY busy, but when I tried to make a phone order, every time I tried ordering the lady who was working would pick up the phone, and hang up once I asked to order for take-out. This happened multiple times, and she would place me on hold but then hang up.. it really didn't make any sense. Luckily after calling 10 times... it was literally 10 times, I have the screenshots to prove it, I was able to talk with her and order. I thought I would have a better experience after this, however when I went to pick up the food, it just got worse. They now have 2 separate places to place an order (towards the front of the store) and to pick up/ pay for phone or take-out orders (towards the back of the store). However, this was very confusing because of unclear signs of where to go. The other customers picking up food were also confused on where to go but luckily we all our way towards the back of the store. I love the food but after yesterday's experience, I really don't know if its worth going back.. well to this location atleast. read more

Thai Original BBQ - The multiple calls made - Thai Near Me - Glendale, California

Came in with a big group of 9 without reservation on a Sunday night and was immediately seated. We got our food very fast. The dishes I have tried were the BBQ Pork Ribs, Crispy Duck, and Seafood Soup. For the BBQ Pork Ribs, I got 3 pieces of 2 attached pork ribs over shrimp fried rice with a side of sauce. The ribs were tender but some parts were chewy, still very good. Definitely mix it with the sauce! The crispy duck is as the title says and the seafood soup resembles the Filipino dish Sinigang, which is sour and savory. read more

We used to go here a lot when we live close by. But then started going to Covina. Went back here today just for fun like good ol days-- but just realized the menu here my CV more expensive than in Covina, by like $5.00 example-- pad Thai was 17.25 here and it's $12.25 in Covina. That's a lot!! And we checked the rest of our order, and yes dangggg... Didn't realize restaurants do that. We'll just fyi to those who have options. I mean food was the same. They're all good. Just the location. $3-$5 difference for each dish. And if you're ordering like about 8-10 dishes.... that's a lot of difference. read more

This person will cause this business to collapse due to her ill customer service . I walked out before the food were served incredibly disappointed scary to spend a good day here . The hostility is beyond comprehension . read more

Just as good as I remember. I used to eat here all the time but haven't been able since moving out of the area. My go-to" is usually either the S1 (Bbq chicken with shrimp fried rice) or S2 (spareribs with shrimp fried rice). This visit in particular was the S2 and it was awesome as per usual. The portion sizes are great and enough for 2, but I usually end up ordering a side of fried rice without shrimp to go. We also got drunken noodles which I have never tried before but glad we ordered it. I don't know if it was the mint or jalapeño but it had a fresh flavor to it. I would order again. They are consistent and the service is always friendly. Parking lot requires a little patience but worth it. read more

This is my favorite thai spot. My go-to items are the phad thai and S-1 (house special). I love the flavor and texture of the phad thai noodles. It has a slight sweet taste to it. They also give you a good amount of shrimp, and they're big pieces too. The other item I recommend is the S-1, which is one of their house special dishes that comes with BBQ chicken and shrimp fried rice. It tastes amazing with the peanut sauce that comes with it! I've been here many times since it's super close to my home and I noticed that their quality of food is always consistent. You can never go wrong with either of these dishes! It does seem to get pretty busy in the afternoon around dinner time. I ordered 1 shrimp pad thai for to-go and it took about 35 minutes. Despite the wait, the food is definitely worth it. This place never disappoints me and I'll continue to come back here to satisfy my thai food cravings. read more
