Thai Thyme is a Thai authentic restaurant that located at city of Monrovia.. ordering authentic classic foods included appetiser n main dishes liked Chicken Satay, yummy n delicious!! Good marinated chicken n good mixed of peanut sauce n cucumber diced!! Main dishes included coconut soup egg noodles with meats!! Good tasting n strong favour, meat a bit over cooked. Pineapple fried rice was so freshly with nuts n pineapple diced!!! Meat still over cooked a bit... That's why it's 4 stars of Yelp!! Otherwise, it would be Five stars perfect!!

Background On Visit: One of my coworkers told me about this shop and thought to myself that I should experience this great place also. Price Point: A bit pricey, but I do get that they have to mark it up because of where they are located at. Credit Cards: They're accepted. Restroom: They're available Location/Parking: Between Colorado and Olive on Myrtle Ave.. Parking can be found along Myrtle or in the public parking lots around town. Ambiance/Decor: Neat ambiance with modern furnishings. They have a patio in the back for your fur babies. Service: Staffers weren't attentive and food got to our table 30 minutes later. We weren't check up on. We asked for water and the water never came. We did ask another staffer and the water did eventually arrive to our table. Towards the end of our dinner, one of the staffers was hovering near our table with a dish waiting for us to leave. Other people that were there longer than us didn't receive that treatment. It is.... what it is I guess. Food Of Choice: 1) Chicken Skewers: They were dry, tough, and chewy. The satay was alright though. 2) Pad Kee Mao (Drucken Noodles) With Chicken: Thought it was okay. Wished they added more protein and was sweet. 3) Wonton Soup: Liked this one better than the pad kee mao and chicken skewers. It was pleasant to eat. I liked the soup. Thai Thyme For Thought: Might be the first and last time, but don't let my experience deter others from experience a better time than me.

I had such a wonderful experience in terms of food and service when I first went there a month ago so I'm very bummed to have to update my review based on my takeout experience. Ordered UberEats and it arrived in less than an hour! Got the Pad Thai ($16.95) and it was very disappointing. It tasted nothing like when I last had it at the restaurant a month ago. The noodles didn't have the "pan fried" taste and was quite bland. The peanut bits tasted a bit stale. The portion was generous but I prefer quality over quantity. Overall, I was very disappointed with my dish and I will definitely not order takeout from this restaurant again unfortunately!

First time visiting & it won't be the last. Great food, big portions, friendly service, nice decor with lots of indoor seating. They were able to accommodate most dishes to be gluten free. We enjoyed the chicken pad thai, chicken red curry and garlic green beans. The salmon was a little dry, maybe because they had to take out the sauce to make it gluten free. We also enjoyed the complimentary dessert, coconut pudding and chocolate pudding. Will definitely return to try more items on the menu.

Place is really nice inside and has great ambiance. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The food was flat out amazing. Great flavor, tender chicken and crisp veggies. Spice level three was comfortable, I'd probably try a four next time. Spice tray was on point, I ate almost all of the jalapeños out of it. I'd definitely return to try some other dishes.

I loved Thai thyme! The service was really great and I think the owner was coming around saying hi to people! I definitely recommend the kah soi-- it's soooo flavorful. The papaya salad is solid! The pad thai is good-- wish it had more peanuts and bean sprouts tho. And we got this beef dish with basil which was also excellent. We loved everything. The portions are also huge. We had Leftovers for many meals later

Thai Thyme in Downtown Monrovia is hands down one of the best Thai food restaurants I've had visited in a long time. Everything from the decor to the customer service to the food was absolutely a 10/10! Jessica was our server and she was AMAZING. Her customer service was phenomenal! Here's a rundown of what I ordered: * Chicken Satay - $15.95 - The chicken was well marinated and very moist. 9/10 * Fish Cake - $15.95 - Best Fish Cake I've ever had! It came in perfect bite pieces and was very delicious. I literally ate the whole plate by myself - it was VERY delicious! 10/10 * Pad Se Eew (with chicken thigh) - $14.95 - Huge portion, very reasonable price and very tasty. I really enjoyed this dish. 9/10 * Holy Kaprow (Spicy Basil with Beef $2 extra) - $15.95 - Very flavorful dish except the beef was very dry and chewy. I really wished they would've tenderized the meat or maybe use a different cut of beef because this would've easily been another 9/10. I plan on ordering this same dish but with Shrimp or Chicken at my next visit. * Thai Iced Coffee - I LOVED IT! Not too sweet, definitely hit my taste buds in the right spot. Just when I thought my dinner couldn't get any better, Jessica stopped by my table with complimentary dessert - homemade Coconut Cake & Chocolate Pudding. How sweet was that? Definitely ended my dining experience at Thai Thyme on a high note. I am so happy that I think I've found my favorite Thai restaurant. Highly recommend Thai Thyme!

Picked up some food here to take to my parent's house for Christmas. Ordered the pad thai, pad kee mao, and some fried rice. We ordered the pad kee mao medium spicy, and I would definitely order the mild instead next time...who knows - maybe my taste buds are different now and I can't tolerate spiciness like I used to. Overall a great spot for Thai food if you find yourself in Old Town Monrovia. They were busy, but still were attentive to all the customers.

If I could star more than 5, I would. Thai Thyme in Monrovia is the most delicious Thai food I've had. I have eaten here on many occasions and they are consistent with their flavors and service. Restaurant is clean (restrooms included), cutely decorated, and they always have soothing background music playing. I especially appreciate the servers friendliness and relaxing environment they provide. My favorite is their Pad Se Eew, Yellow Curry, Egg Rolls, and Chicken Satay. Their peanut sauce and mild spicy sweet flavors are so delicious! They are located in downtown Monrovia, which has a few blocks to walk of stores, dessert, coffee, and a movie theater. Parking is easy and free. Definitely worth the try.

Granted we ordered for takeout and maybe the food is better in person dining in. But I'll have to say it's just okay. Spicy levels were great, but lacked flavor and balance. Red curry was a little too sweet for my taste. Overall decent but don't know that I'll try again.

Family friendly atmosphere, relaxing and charming. I like the high ceilings with the exposed brick. Friendly owner ! My friend told me her work had an event here before and so we gave it a try, I was pleasantly impressed!! :) LOVED my Khao soi noodle soup! There was so much soup which I loved, and it's so rich and flavorful. The papaya salad was a good portion and yummy too. I am impressed with the selection of authentic Thai food on the menu, and enjoyed the service. 10/10 Follow me for more foodie adventures :) -Living with Luci

Thai Thyme is my favorite Thai restaurant in the SGV. Growing up in the neighborhood, I've witnessed several iterations come and go, but this iteration is by far my favorite and I'm ecstatic that the current owner chose to run this place and make it some place special. Each dish relies on fresh ingredients and spices to bring out the flavor. I generally go for the Tom Kha and Pad Thai, but this evening we also tried the sweet and sour tofu and the chicken satay. If you have vegetarian or vegan friends in your party, I encourage you to try their house made alternative protein--it's some of the best I've ever had! The interior venue is cute, but I also enjoy their back patio on warm evenings. The staff is always friendly and I hope you, too, can enjoy this Monrovia treasure.

Miranda C.

Food and service were terrible, don't be fooled by the pictures. All the dishes were too sweet and not good. The papaya salad comes with sauce that's like milky and does not taste right. They were heavily understaffed and every time we needed something, they told us to wait. Horrible dining experiencez

You walk in thinking, "I'll just grab a quick bowl," and suddenly there's a noodle master stretching dough like he's training for the Olympics. Their Lanzhou-style noodles? Fresh, chewy, and honestly a little too good--they'll ruin instant ramen for you forever. The Lan noodle soup is so rich and savory. The died mixed noodle feels like a warm hug... if hugs came with chili oil and a kick that sneaks up on you. It's a small, busy spot, so yeah, you might wait--but don't worry, the line moves fast. Plus, it gives you time to emotionally prepare for choosing your noodle shape. Thin? Wide? Triangle? This is not a decision to take lightly. One wrong move and you'll be thinking about it halfway through your bowl like, "I should've gone wider."

They have a small and large sweet and sour chicken rice plate. I had gotten the small size just to try it out, but it was surprisingly good (5/5). The pork sandwich bun was decent (4/5) since the beef was tasty but the sandwich bun could be better. We also had the traditional beef noodle soups with either the wide flat and triangle ones. You can't go wrong with these freshly made pulled noodles, and they are very hearty portions. Flavor is good and the beef is very tender. The smashed cucumbers were decent also (4/5), but nothing spectacular about them. Service is very quick, attentive and pleasant. This is a good go to spot for a quick meal. The dining room doesn't seat a lot of people so try not to come during busy dining hours on weekends to avoid a long wait.

Ramen Yukinoya has been around for a long time and we used to come here often for ramen and even…read morebring friends here. Then we started trying new ones opened in the area and now often go to one at the mall for good ramen and conscience. I was craving for Okinawa soba so decided to come here without driving to South Bay. It's Friday around 1:30pm and the shop is relatively busy that only a couple of tables are available. We sat down and started looking at the menu - now a digital one with a tablet on every table. You can browse the menu on the tablet and put your order in on it. We ordered Okinawa soba and miso ramen. For $15 each, it seems like a decent price. We like the broths here. It's rich and deep without a layer of fat on top like most of the ramen shops. The noodles are firm with a nice bite to it. I especially like the Okinawa soba because it uses thicker noodles. The meat is tender and has a sweet flavor to it. If I had to nitpick, they don't have the Okinawa chili vinegar to go with the soba. It's a small shop. The walls are sprayed painted to look like a Japanese night time izakaya vibe. We will definitely come back more often.

Unfortunately, today made us realize the drive is no longer worth it. As we walked in, the owner (I assume) was so focused on his phone that he didn't greet us or acknowledge us at all. We had to approach him and ask where to sit because he didn't even look up. It felt unwelcoming and very different from how this place used to be. On top of that, the food just wasn't the same the flavor was lacking, and the overall experience didn't feel like the restaurant we've supported for years. It's disappointing to say, but this place has lost our business. Great customer service and consistent quality matter, and sadly both were missing today.
