Servers were nice, but one of the servers got our order wrong. We ordered Tom Kha, they served us Tom Yum, the good thing is they changed it. We ordered Crab Fried Rice, but we did not get it, they charged us, but they removed it after telling them that we did not get it. Service is slow. Soup came last, I don't think soup should come last. Ambiance is ok. Restroom is clean. Inside is very warm. I'm not sure if there's AC. Taste of food is okay. It's bland for me. We've been to a lot of Thai Restaurants and I won't recommend this one. I only gave 3 stars because the servers were nice. read more

Came here with some friends cuz we were craving Thai and ordered a rice and noodle dish. Portions were large which was nice. Sadly, by looking at the pad thai, I knew it wasn't going to be how I usually expect and like a pad thai. There little coloring to the noodles and the noodles looked super dry and they in fact were. Also, the meat in both the rice and noodles were dry. pad thai noodles lacked flavor. The rice dish was overpowered by garlic--tasted mainly like a garlic fried rice, not like Asian notes that I'd get at other thai places. We won't be back. read more

This placed was packed when we came on a Sunday evening, so I had high hopes and was super excited to give it a try. We ordered take out so when we tasted the food, naturally, it's not going to be the best since it's not straight out of the kitchen but unfortunately, even given that grace, this place did not meet my expectations. Taste was lacking for the green curry, Pad se eew, and Pad Katem (garlic). Pad se ew was bone dry and chicken was over cooked. Basil eggplant was good, but the pork was too dry and tough, imo. The Panang was the highlight of the entire order. Great flavor and the perfect balance of spice and sweetness! 10 out of 10 on that dish, but that was it. Prices were great and the ambiance of the location is amazing. I *might* consider giving them another chance, and if I did, I would try it for dine in. Overall, they're a 6.5 for me. read more

This place has what I think to be authentic and delicious Thai food. They have a lot of variety to choose from beyond the usual noodle dishes and more authentic recipes. They can make most things vegetarian or vegan with soft tofu or fried tofu as options. If you don't ask for soft tofu you will automatically get fried tofu. Their vegetable soup is super tasty great for getting over a cold. When they said it was food penicillin they weren't kidding! I would recommend their noodle dishes, the soups, the curries and their stir fried dishes. They also can make your food gluten free. For example the pad see ew they can use tamari instead of soy sauce. It's not on the menu, you need to ask for it and specify you are gluten free. They have a nice staff, nice interior and a nice outdoor dining area. Their is parking lot in the back and plenty of free street parking. This restaurant is also located on the cute and friendly downtown Monrovia street so it's a good stop in for a bite and shopping fun. read more

The owner is the sweetest man, very talkative he makes you feel like you're old friends. Onto the food, we absolutely love this place. I've brought countless family members and they all agree. Tom yum soup is by far my favorite from any other Thai restaurant I love the mushrooms, cabbage and most of all they use thinly sliced white meat not thigh! The cashew chicken is beyond delicious, crab fried rice is perfect. The one that takes the prize for me is the beef salad. Elite! There's so much left to try but I always find myself ordering my faves. Must try read more

The best Dèjá vú experience ever! It's been years since I've been in Old Town Monrovia. My wife and I decided to have a "date night" there, as one of our adult kids, who was visiting us in town, needed a ride to attend a gathering nearby. Years ago I used to attend meetings at this restaurant. The food at Thai Thyme is awesome! So good, that It has a local following. The 3 tables against the wall, across from us, were populated with families that had adults I swear I used to know! The owner stopped by to say hello. We both agreed that we had known each other, but it took me a couple days, before I could connect the dots! I can't wait to go back. The food was delicious. The owner explained how he has a special process to prepare his foods so their recipes use less oil. His process helps bring out the natural flavor of the vegetables! It's funny, the 1st thing I said to my wife after taking my 1st forkful of shredded carrots, was that I never tasted a carrot as fresh or as clean! read more

Thai Thyme - A cozy place to eat incredible food in a friendly atmosphere. - Thai Near Me - Monrovia, California

Service: They did what they needed and were pretty amicable. Nothing to complain about. Ambiance: Very casual and a simple place to eat at. I wish it was a little brighter since it felt a little dark inside despite it being daytime/mid-day. We sat by the window so it felt lighter but since it was cloudy, there still wasn't a lot of light. Food: I feel like the quality is great but this Thai place heavily leans on making all of their dishes on the sweeter side. When it comes to Thai restaurants, you'll sometimes come across these places. I am a fan of a little sweetness but not in every dish. Chicken Satay - My mom said the skewers itself were okay but a little dry. She prefers chicken with some fat though so I give it a pass. The peanut sauce was incredibly sweet. I can just barely tell it's a peanut sauce. Crab Rangoons - I believe these weren't sweet? Just creamy. My mom said they're good but too creamy for her. I told her she wouldn't like them but she insisted on them anyway. At least these were a good pass regardless! Garlic green beans - Sweet. I was hoping these weren't going to be sweet at all after I tasted the other dishes I was able to eat. There's not much garlic taste to it and I just didn't like that it's unnecessarily sweet. The natural green bean flavor itself barely saved the dish. Vegetarian Thai fried rice - Sweet but not as sweet as the other dishes. The fragrance of the eggs helped the dish here. The plethora of veggies in the rice were really nice though! Since these weren't too bad, a drizzle of extra soy sauce over the top would probably help it just fine. Vegetarian Curry Puffs - At first bite, the curry taste was nice! There's a light kick to it and then...it's still just sweet. I do like the noodles in these puffs and they were perfectly crispy! I don't know if I'd come here again on my own but my mom, surprisingly, liked the place okay so I may give it another try with her. I didn't notice until the end of my meal but they do have a few vegan meat options along with the usual tofu option! I appreciate the options here but still make sure to ask about fish sauce or other things in certain dishes, just in case. I generally try and pick dishes I know would be safe. I'd say my rating leans more on the 3.5 than just a solid 3 because it isn't a bad place and perhaps the sweeter taste works out better in favor of people who want to get used to the tastes of Thai dishes! Always give a place a chance regardless of the review. read more

Thai Thyme - Fried rice, cashew chicken & pad Thai. All so yummy! - Thai Near Me - Monrovia, California

The service was great here! I always order the Pad Thai Beef at every Thai restaurant I visit and when I tried the Pad Thai here, it far exceeded my expectations! The noodle was soft and flavorful and did not have a rubbery. The Num Tok (beef salad) and Tom Yum Gung were also great additions! The Tom Yum Gung soup was very flavorful with the perfect amount of lemon grass soup. Adding it to the jasmine rice hit the spot! The Num Tok Beef salad also tasted great! I washed everything down with the Thai tea, it was not overly sweet nor did it lack in flavor, it was just right. . This is the spot if you love Thai food and you're in the SGV or Monrovia, CA area. read more

After a long day of work, my friend and I decided to come and get thai food. We've both never been here before, so we were excited to try it and we were NOT disappointed!! The food here is sooo flavorful and very good! Just from the first sip of the soup, I knew the rest of the food would be delicious. The owner came and talked to us about how he decided to start the business, and it was really cool to learn about the history! The crispy tofu was very delicious and the sauce was paired well with it. If you're looking for a thai place this is the place to go to! read more

Wayyyyyy overpriced for what you get. You're honestly paying for the location. Rice is NOT included with any curry dishes and it's an extra $2!!. Pad See Eew is almost $20 too. You would think for the price you would get a decent amount but my container for soup was only 3/4th full. Just drive to Nine and Nine in Pasadena. read more

Friends and I couldn't decide where to eat so we took a walk through downtown and found Thai thyme and I am so grateful we did! The restaurant is beautiful on the inside, decorations are simple yet elegant, I love the giant mirrors they have. Service is amazing, the two ladies helping us were very attentive and kind they did everything very well and food was out quickly! The food itself... WOW it was absolutely delectable. I got the pad woon sen (glass noodles) with pork and I was seriously in food heaven, the noodles are packed with flavor like to the max, it had the most rich savory sauce, they are just amazing! My friends spicy basil friend rice was also so good, the rice was cooked to perfection and so flavorful with the perfect amount of spice. The Tom yum noodles also left me speechless though, I'm sure they marinate all their noodles for hours or something because they are the perfect taste. The dumplings too, were flawless and they came with the perfect sweet chili sauce to compliment it. We wanted to try the mango sticky rice but the giant portions here left us stuffed so that will have to be for another time! I will absolutely be back and I am so grateful to have stopped by! read more

We had the most wonderful surprise when we stumbled upon this little Thai gem tonight! It was one of those spontaneous decisions that paid off in the best way possible. From the moment we walked in, the aroma of authentic Thai spices greeted us, and the service was incredibly warm and attentive. The food itself was absolutely delicious, bursting with fresh flavors and perfectly balanced. We tried a few different dishes, and each one was a treat. However, the true star of the evening, the one thing I absolutely cannot stop thinking about, was their coconut cake. Oh. My. Goodness. I am completely and utterly obsessed! It was light, moist, perfectly sweet, and had the most divine coconut flavor. I've had many cakes in my life, but this might just be the best cake I have ever tasted. Seriously, is there any chance they sell whole cakes? I'd order one for every occasion! If you're looking for incredible Thai food coupled with dessert dreams, you absolutely must visit this place. Highly, highly recommended! read more

I will definitely be coming back here! The food and the service were great. I had basil eggplant and pad see ew. The eggplant was delicious but the pork that came with it was a little dry. The pad se ew with tofu that we ordered was also great. Overall the location looked very nice too. It was clean, and also had bathrooms too which was a plus. At the end of our meal we were given a complementary mango pudding. The pudding was delicious and tasted exactly like mangoes. Fantastic restaurant, I recommend! read more

This is our go-to local spot when we're craving some yummy Thai food. Their curries are fantastic, crab rangoons are lovely, and chicken satay and salads are delicious. We usually order to-go but have eaten in a few times and the vibe is casual and relaxed right in the heart of Old Town Monrovia and staff are all friendly. We've tried their green, yellow, and red curries all with various types of meat. The yellow is my fave - it's made with coconut milk, potatoes, carrots, onions and I like to get it mild with beef. Mild has the tiniest bit of spice to it, just perfect and their beef is soft - so delicious! My hubby loved their green curry and gets it with either pork or chicken, mild. It's also made with coconut milk, but has lots of veggies like bamboo shoots, eggplant, green beans, bell pepper and basil. Mild version has a bit more kick than the yellow - very nice. They use quality pork and chicken- all excellent. We've never had a bad curry here! Their crab rangoons are plump little pockets of heaven - very generously filled. Could use a tad more crab meat but that's just me - still the best I've had in SoCal. Their chicken satay is always nicely cooked with quality meat and I love their peanut sauce. Rice isn't included with their curries so we always order a side of jasmine rice. It's always prepared perfectly with lots of jasmine flavor - goes so well with their curries. Their prices are decent for the area - but they're a tad marked up when ordering via Uber eats so you can save money by going in. They're located right in old town Monrovia with plenty of area parking on public lots or street parking. read more

Thai Thyme was a fantastic experience for my party of six. Every single one of us enjoyed our dishes. Five of us drove out to Monrovia from Orange County, and the experience was well worth it. The restaurant is casual yet elegant. The space is well-decorated, and the menus are encased in thick black leather. The menu is extensive and can be a bit overwhelming for a first-timer, but I personally loved the variety. I've been to many Thai restaurants, and this one, by far, has had the most choices. In addition, each menu item provides detailed information about the ingredients. We started off our dinner with Thai tea, fried wontons, and Thai potstickers. The Thai tea was served in a tall mug with a creamy layer on top that made it look delicious even before I took a sip. It had a smooth taste, neither too sweet nor too strong with the usual Thai tea flavoring. The egg rolls and potstickers were crispy and savory, not greasy. I wanted more, but I had to hold back to save room for dinner. Dinner arrived in a timely manner for everyone; no one had to wait long to be served or to get started. The setup was elegant, with cloth tablecloths, napkins, and quality silverware. We ordered red curry with chicken, a rice dish topped with crab cakes, pad see ew, chicken satay, and a few other dishes I can't recall. But every single thing we tried (we shared all our dishes) was absolutely delicious! The group could not stop raving about the food. We tried not to stuff ourselves because we wanted to save room for the interesting desserts we had read about on the menu. Before we finished our entrées, the owner of the restaurant came over to our table to introduce himself and share his personal story about how he came to open the restaurant. This was another highlight of our visit to Thai Thyme. After our fun chat, the owner treated the entire group to a creamy coconut dessert, and our birthday girl received a slice of coconut cake. The desserts were also a hit! They were decadent without being overly sweet, unlike many American desserts. They satisfied our craving for something sweet and unique at the end of the meal. I forgot to take pictures of my food because I was too excited to each and distracted by my friends, but you can see many photos on their website. I will definitely find a way to visit the new location in Pasadena and try another dish. This place was fantastic, and it's clear that it's a true labor of love. read more

Thai Thyme - Thai Tea - Thai Near Me - Monrovia, California

Food was good, service was okay. We checked at the door and thought we saw they closed at 9. We got there at 7:40. They told us last call for food was at 8 so we had to decide what to order quickly. We left at 8:30 which is actually the time they close so we felt like we were not wanted since they were cleaning around us. I always get the pad Thai when I eat at a Thai restaurant so this time was no different. Pad Thai had good flavor but felt a little dry 4/5. A friend got the chicken with cashews. That was very flavorful 5/5. The fried rice was good but nothing special 3.5/5. The appetizers were pricey for the portions so we skipped out on those. We were a party of 7 and got an automatic 18% tip added (says 6+ charge). They have 2 restrooms (1 men, 1 women). The decor was nice, they played Christmas music and some patriotic songs throughout the night so that was funny and random. read more

We have been here a couple of times and it was great (for 2 people). On our 3rd time, we're a large group (7 peeps), so automatically they charged us "tip" on our bill, thank goodness my sister checked our bill as another "tip" was added. I forgot what it was called, quite sneaky. After we talked with the head waiter (manager probably), he fixed our bill. That's the only reason why my husband won't be returning. read more

Came to lunch with my mom. The ambience was cool. There was just another party of (3). The waiter was attentive. I ordered the spicy beef salad. So delicious!

We will definitely come back to check other things off of the menu... til the next episode... read more

Good food and always great service. I like the lunch special prices. My favorites are pad Thai and the coconut shrimp soup.

We sat at the patio on a hot Sunday, so we had the whole area to our selves. Despite the weather, the patio is charming. We ordered from the doggie menu, & our furry child was filled up by the generous portion. We should have just ordered one. The owner was very friendly, introducing himself, saying hello to our dog & explaining how he took a picture of every dog. His staff was very attentive & friendly. Onto the food, we tried Chicken Satay, Mu Ping (pork skewers), Som Tum (papaya salad), & Khao Soi. Hubby really liked the BBQ items. The chicken was very tender & moist while the pork was not as fatty as other restaurants, a good thing in my book. Salad is salad. The Khao Soi tasted a bit different from what I'm used to, but nevertheless delicious. I recommend this restaurant,especially if you have a furry child. read more

Thai Thyme is my favorite Thai restaurant in LA!! I've come back so many times. The owner is nice and usually stops by every table to say hi and thank people for coming. He also mentioned how the food is cooked to be healthier, and I can tell from eating it. Usually when I have pad thai from other places, the noodles are very oily. The pad Thai from Thai Thyme is so fresh and doesn't taste oily or make me feel heavy after eating it! The chicken satay skeweres were my favorite. The sauce is peanuty, rich and delicious with vinegar cucumbers to cleanse between each bite. I also loved the eggplant salad for some more vegetables and it was light and refreshing. read more

Last night, I stood at the front of the restaurant for 6-7 minutes. There were tons of waitstaff around helping customers but not a single person looked up at me and acknowledged my presence. I get that they were busy, but someone could have made eye contact and let me know they would be right with me as soon as they finished their task. After waiting, I approached the owner who was clearing a table to see if anyone was seating new customers. He told me, without looking up, that that it was his job and I needed to wait by the door. No hello. No smile. No "thanks for visiting, I'll be with you soon". Needless to say, I have no desire to spend money somewhere I'm not wanted so I took my business elsewhere. What an unfriendly place. read more

I can't believe I just had such a great TAKEOUT experience it's motivating me to write a review. From the phone call I had placing my order, sounded like I was talking to a radio show host, so pleasant, charming and helpful. They allow you to choose whether you want dark meat or white meat chicken in your dishes which immediately let me know the food is going to be . Then I came in to pick up my food and Jessica was there to help me and she took the entire experience over the top. So sweet, so helpful. I haven't even tried the food but I'm definitely coming back already. Apparently the ownership changed here about 3 years ago and I didn't realize it. I live down the street and tried the previous ownership and was unimpressed and never went back until today. But best believe you have a new regular read more

I'm not sure if it's because I ordered takeout, but the food didn't impress me. I ordered the regular chicken curry, but when I got home, I realized they charged me extra and changed it to chicken breast instead. The chicken was very dry and not tasty at all! The jumbo shrimp only had a good sauce, but it was way too expensive and not worth it. The other dishes had a strong MSG taste. read more

Ventured out with my daughter a couple Fridays ago. Let's try a new restaurant we thought. Couldn't have made a better decision. Thai Thyme was amazing. The red curry was very flavorful and spice level 2 was just right. The spicy fried rice was a great addition and the green papaya salad was quite tasty and offered a palate refresh. We had one minor issue that was promptly resolved my the owner Thai. What a gem of an owner and so passionate about the food. We realized that after being convinced to try the mango and coconut puddings. Fantastic on their own, and interesting mixed together, both desserts were vegan, sugar and gluten free. We throughly enjoyed the atmosphere and the conversation with the owner insured we will be going back and with others in tow. A must try spot if you like authentic Thai food!
