    3. Fried Wontons /  - really good
    David C.

    Okay, so here is a recent update. My first review was for the first few times I came when they first opened years ago, and it was excellent. The husband ran the front of house with charm and warmth and the wife I believe did most of the cooking. I stopped going after I had a not so good experience maybe a year later. They didn't seem to be able to get their liquor license and the food that last time was not as good as it had always been. Well, cut to a couple months ago, and not sure where to grab something quick on a school night, I decided to just bite the bullet and try it again, and I'm generally happy I did. The place is pretty busy these days. And, gone for now at least are the mom and pop, probably because they opened a second location near Old Town Pasadena opposite Huntington Hospital. They're probably there making sure everything can run smoothly. So me and the boyo ordered the fried wontons and the chicken sate appetizers. The fried wontons came out and were excellent. The chicken sate we ordered charred and well done, but not only did it arrive rather pale and sad despite still tasting very good, it only came at the very end of our meal. In fact were trying to get a waitress over to cancel the sate, assuming they had forgotten it completely at this point, when the other waitress ran into the kitchen and ran the plate to us. No one enjoys finishing their meal with an appetizer. Which brings me to my only other complaint, but it is why they didn't get a five star review. Service sucked, and I can't even blame it on the two lone young women left to handle the entire busy restaurant. Sorry, but they need to hire some more service help. Even one more waiter/waitress would help immensely. You could tell the main server was overwhelmed and a super large party in the middle only made her life more difficult. Still, she knew a couple who are probably regulars and a one point sat down to have a nice long chat with them while I struggled to get anyone's attention. She needs some better training on scanning a dining room before running back to the kitchen. We had to leave our hand raised for minutes each time we needed service of any kind, and that is not acceptable. Back to the food. For mains I got the cashew chicken at a spice level 2 and honestly I could've gone to a spice level 3 easily. I like spicy, and the only reason I held back was that Thai and Indian restaurants love to punish anyone who goes for a high number spice level like it's a contest of wills. Still, the dish was excellent. The boyo had the chicken panang curry and it was also fantastic. Of all the panang curries we've ever ordered, this had the most chicken we've ever gotten. You're usually left hungry pouring curry over rice once the chicken is gone, but this place gives you enough to chicken to make it a real entree. The only shame past the service and the missing appetizer arriving long after we had finished our mains and were ready to cancel it and just leave was the fact they have finally gotten their liquor license over these past few years. I should have been happy, but they honestly have chosen the worst tasting house sake for hot sake I've ever had. I've had cheap sake (the kind you usually order hot), and many of the most expensive sakes (always served cold), and this one they have I will never order again. Anyway, the bottom line is the owners need to hire another server and better train the ones they have to scan the entire restaurant every time they are in the dining room. Maybe get a better hot sake, but that's up to them. Otherwise, the food is back on point, and I highly recommend a trip to Thai Thyme. I even look to try the second location soon. Try it!

    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!!

    Sunshine Beef Jerky
    Alice Y.

    Summary: 5 stars for taste, portion, price, and service *** My fiance and I visited a few times for lunch and dinner. The restaurant is brightly lit inside and usually plays classy/cozy music overhead. Service is outstanding; they are typically prompt, proactive, and friendly with water refills on point. The owner occasionally checks in on tables, banters with regulars, and talks about his recipes. They sometimes provide complimentary desserts to first-time visitors (I assume if budget allows). Food also comes out quickly. DRINKS ORDERED - Thai Iced Tea ($4.50). Served in a huge glass, the Thai tea is strong, sweet, and creamy. APPETIZERS ORDERED - Sunshine Beef Jerky ($16.95). Sooo tasty! The beef was slightly crispy and dried out, yet soft inside. The marinade was aromatic with a hint of sourness. - Chicken Satay ($15.95 - 6 pcs). Soft and juicy white meat chicken with a mild marinade that was vaguely sweet and fragrant. The peanut dipping sauce was out of this world - very peanut forward and also a little sweet. I put it on everything and even asked for a to go container for the rest! I would have liked the pickled cucumber and onion to be less sweet. - Somtom / Green Papaya Salad ($11.96 + $5 shrimp add on). We asked for spicy level 2, which made my nose run. Green papaya, green beans, carrots, peanuts, and tomato sit on top of roughly chopped iceberg lettuce. The chili lime dressing tasted spicy, sweet, salty, and sour. The shrimp was also good, juicy and plump. I only had difficulty eating the green beans, which were hard and raw. - Chicken Larb ($16.95). This dish was served as a salad instead of a wrap. It had big pieces of ground chicken on top of iceberg lettuce in a flavorful, slightly funky sauce. We got this at level 2 spicy. ENTREES/NOODLES ORDERED - Basil Eggplant with chicken thigh ($14.95). Bright purple egg plant and bell peppers stir fried with fragrant basil in a savory sauce. So good! - Pad Kee Mao / Drunken Noodles with pork ($14.95). This was a stir fry of thick rice noodle, onion, bell pepper, basil, and protein of choice. The pork was yummy with a slightly sweet taste. I liked how the vegetables were tender yet crunchy. I ordered this at level 2 spicy, but I think I could handle level 3 for noodles. - Pad Thai with tofu ($14.95). I enjoyed the chewy, thin rice noodle tossed in a sweet and sour sauce. DESSERTS ORDERED - T-Cup Coconut Cream Cake ($6.99). We received this cake in a cup as a complimentary dessert. It tasted like a dream! There were two layers each of white cake and coconut whipped cream. The sponge had a light and cottony crumb. Shredded coconut added an extra layer of texture and coconut flavor. - Mango Sticky Rice ($13.95 - seasonal Apr to Sept). I think we ordered too early in the season, since the mango was ripe but not as fragrant. The sticky rice was sweet and salty with a fluffy and chewy texture. The dish was good, but a little dry for me since it didn't come with a sauce. - T-Cup Mango Pudding ($6.99). This was also complimentary. I thought it was just okay at first, but the pudding grew on me the more I ate it. The mango pudding tasted nostalgic, like the one you get at dim sum but more real. According to the owner, the pudding is vegan, naturally sweetened, and thickened with agar agar.

    chicken satay
    John T.

    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.

    Stopped by during the street fair and went the takeout route great call. Even with the extra foot traffic, things felt organized and efficient. Ty was super helpful and kept everything moving smoothly, which made a big difference with the crowd. Service was friendly, quick, and on point. The food absolutely delivered fresh, flavorful, and held up really well even as takeout. I went mild spice and it was perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of heat without overpowering the dish. Overall, a solid go-to, especially during busy events. Great service, great food, and a seamless takeout experience when it could've easily gone the other way. A+

    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!

    We loved dining here. The portions were huge and everything was so delicious. We ordered the Chicken Fried Rice, Beef Soup, and the Pad See Ew. The employees were so friendly and we had a great time.

    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.

    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

    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.

As…read moresomeone born and raised in Xi'an, the flavors here felt genuinely authentic, and I already know I'll be back. We ordered the Youpo Noodles with Beef Brisket, Marinated Beef Sandwich, and Cumin Lamb Sandwich. The marinated beef sandwich was the standout. They absolutely nailed the execution, from the tender, flavorful meat to the texture of the bread. I would come back for this alone. It immediately took me back to eating rou jia mo from a street cart while walking around Xi'an, which is about the highest compliment I can give it. The noodles were freshly handmade, wonderfully springy, and completely soaked with flavor. The beef brisket made them even more satisfying. The cumin lamb sandwich was the only item I felt slightly on the fence about. The filling was good, but I personally wanted a little more seasoning and a stronger cumin flavor. The interior is spacious and clean, service was fast and painless, and there is plenty of parking in the lot. Such a great addition to Arcadia and easily one of the better Xi'an spots I've tried in the area.

Everything was tender, aromatic, and clearly prepared with great care and attention to flavor and ingredients. Spice lovers will definitely be happy here, but even if you normally don't eat spicy food, you'll still find yourself going back for bite after bite. The restaurant itself is simple yet elegant, clean, and comfortable, with the warm feeling of a beloved local spot. The service is friendly, and the food comes out quickly, creating a relaxed and welcoming dining experience. Especially after a long day, having a hot bowl of their oil-splashed noodles feels genuinely comforting. If you enjoy unique Xi'an cuisine, I highly recommend giving this place a try. You can taste that the flavors have not been overly adjusted just to appeal to the masses. Instead, the restaurant preserves the authentic spirit, warmth, and bold flavors of traditional Xi'an cooking.

    Come for the food, but LOOK AT THIS PLACE…read more Okay, I have to start with the atmosphere because this place is absolutely STUNNING. The second you walk in, there is so much to look at. The woodwork, the hanging wooden plaques, the Japanese-inspired décor, the trees throughout the restaurant, the lighting, and especially the little honeycomb-style booths built into the walls. It almost feels like you've stepped into this little Japanese village rather than just another restaurant. Whoever designed this place understood the assignment. I went during the week, so thankfully it wasn't very crowded, and my friend and I were able to sit upstairs in one of the honeycomb booths. If one is available, DO IT. It made the whole experience that much more fun, and you get such a cool view of the restaurant from up there. Now, FOOD. I ordered the Pork Tonkatsu Omurice with curry sauce, which comes with chicken fried rice wrapped in that beautiful fluffy omelet, topped with pork tonkatsu and curry. When they bring it out, they actually ask if you'd like to record the presentation before they cut/open the egg--which, obviously, YES. It's one of those little touches that turns ordering food into an actual experience. And it was BOMB. The egg was fluffy, the pork tonkatsu had that crispy texture, and everything worked really well with the fried rice and curry. The curry itself isn't particularly spicy, so if you're someone who doesn't tolerate much heat, don't let the word curry scare you. It had plenty of flavor without being hot. Personally, I like my food SPICY spicy, so I added some extra spice to mine, but that's completely personal preference. I also ordered the Thai iced tea, and that was delicious--fresh, creamy, refreshing, and exactly what I wanted with the meal. Overall, I genuinely enjoyed the food, but I think the atmosphere is what pushed the experience over the top for me. The restaurant itself is just SO COOL. There are restaurants where you eat, leave, and that's it--and then there are places where you're looking around the entire time because you keep noticing another little detail. KYURAMEN was definitely the latter. Good food + Thai tea + an omurice presentation + sitting inside a freaking honeycomb booth overlooking this gorgeous restaurant? Yeah. I'm coming back. Tip: If you have the option to sit in one of the elevated honeycomb booths, absolutely take it. It makes the experience.

We ordered the Sapporo Miso Ramen (Mild), Tokyo Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen, the Tonkatsu Omurice, and started with the Yakitori Platter. The ramen was excellent. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. The Yakitori Platter was a great choice because it let us sample a variety of grilled proteins, and even the grilled zucchini was incredibly delicious. The presentation of the Tonkatsu Omurice was impressive, and the curry sauce was well-balanced with just the right amount of spice to complement the crispy tonkatsu. Overall, we had a great dining experience with delicious food, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere. We'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu. Until next time, enjoy!

    OMFG! My husband grew up in LA So he grew up on the real real Asian food. In SB we have a fave spot…read morebut coming from Taiwan, Beef Noodle soup is home to him, so he drags me into any place he can find when we're traveling up and down the coast. Who would've guessed that the BEST Beef Noodle Soup would have been in the middle of Arcadia. The BEST. And the pork & shrimp dumplings some of the BEST we've had in SF and LA top spots. The cold jelly dish (mung bean) is AMAZING. Who knew such a small unassuming mom and pop shop could rival some of the Michelin spots we've ventured to. But honestly, most food that's made like your Mama made it is obviously gonna be better than any restaurant you ever go to. This is like they just happened to have a restaurant in their home. The food came out almost immediately, that broth had been cooking to perfection for who knows how long. Every bite of every dish was PER-FEC-TION. Just WOW. Thank you Auntie!!

    So I took my kids to this place on a Saturday night, there were only two tables when we got in. So…read moreI took a look of the menu, and ordered the tomato egg noodles, hun-yuan cold jelly and beef noodle. When the tomato egg noodle arrived, I was surprised by how little the sauce was compared to the amount of noodles, probably 2 tablespoons of sauce on top of the noodles and a few shredded cucumber. The cold jelly, according to the pictures, supposed to have some shredded bean curd and beans on top but again there was a few shredded cucumber on top of it and that was it. So I ask the server why the food looks different from the picture and she just answered "That's just how it is". Based on the amount of food we got, everything was overpriced. From my understanding this place was Michelin rated in 2021, I'm not sure how they got it, but quality definitely was not like that when they were rated. While I was paying, I saw the worker took out some frozen meat and placed them on the floor. - I mean are you serious ? ? I don't usually leave for reviews, but what they did really made me concerned about the food safety there and I want people to know. I'm sorry, but I don't think I will come back.
