    Short rib with rice.
    Joan W.

    The smiling staff were more than happy to accommodate my zero spicy-heat palatte. The short rib with rice was super tender and went along beautifully with the diced garlic string beans. So good! Casual but comfortable ambiance. Love that they used green security gates inside the dining room to evoke a street food adventure.

    Pad Thai with Braised beef short ribs

    Omg this place is so cute I really love the design / interior design and color scheme this whole place! Our server was nice and kind super helpful and attentive! Menu looked great we were both starving when we arrived so we decided quickly and got our food quickly! Food is amazing!! We ordered the Pad Thai with the braised short ribs wow the meat melted in my mouth! Presentation was great and flavor amazing! We also got Kor Moo Yang with Nam Jim which was also fabulous normally I'm not a huge pork fan but it was very tender! We definitely will come back again! My husband tried the Ube beer with coconut and loved it! It was nice and subtle and sweet.

    Salmon pad thai
    Karen L.

    Very flavorful food and attentive service! Worth a try and I appreciate that their spice levels can be easily adjusted for all dishes. They can do no spice to very spicy easily. I had the salmon pad thai and it was nicely done. A tad salty but plenty of flavor and the portion was pretty big too. Try them out during the soft opening, with 50% off the second drink!

    I attended it's soft opening in Old Pasadena. The food was excellent. I got their basil bowl with mushroom and vegetables. It was excellent. I'm excited to see how they do in the next few weeks. I did hear their pad Thai was great.

    Beautiful space with amazing food - full of flavor . I've tried every Thai restaurant in Pasadena and this is by far the most authentic. The interior decor is so cute and service was great.

    Mango Sticky Rice Slushie and Milo Cloud drinks

    Found this new Thai place in Pasadena. Ended up getting some drinks to go. Got the Mango Sticky Rice Slushie and the Milo Cloud. They recently opened up this place so they had a promotion, buy one drink get 2nd drink 50% off. I believe the promotion is good for a couple more weeks. Will be back to try their food :)

    Just checked out their soft opening and we thought the flavors were incredibly flavorful, authentic, and true to what we've had in Thailand. Kate was an incredible server who took care of us the entire night. So thoughtful. We hope this place will be a huge success in Old Town!

    Great addition to Old Pasadena. Had a great tasting meal at Thaim. Restaurant is so nicely designed with great ambiance. Service was top notch and I'm looking forward to trying other items on their menu. Highly recommend Thaim.

    Ground Pork Basil Bowl - Mild Spicy

    I came by during their Soft Opening. I'm a Community Manager nearby so naturally I NEED to try new local offerings so I can suggest options to my members. Interior The inside is super cute and feels really open, love the color pop on the tile. There are dining tables as well as a bar top area. Next time I will have to dine in so I can try the Mango Sticky Rice Beer (sounds delicious). Ordering Ordering to go is super easy with the large order table to the right by the entrance. Menu Their menu is limited during the soft open but still offers plenty to choose from, I will def be back once the Green bean dish is available. Food Ordered For this particular visit I ordered the Basil Bowl with Ground Pork - Mild Spicy. Their spice levels are true so if you don't eat spicy much start with Mild. I planned on eating half for lunch and half for dinner but it was so good I devoured it in one sitting. Pricing Pricing is what you would expect for a sit-down restaurant with entrees starting $17. I normally try to keep my lunch purchases under $15 (its hard to do but there are options). However, FriYAY deserves a delicious splurge. Staff The staff is super friendly and inviting. They were very attentive and informative. They even offered me water while I waited for me food (didn't have to wait long at all). If you haven't given them a visit yet, absolutely add them to your list.

    It was a great restaurant; my first time here! I got their lunch hour special and the staff was…read moreamazing. My server was very attentive and came by to check on me often, even when the restaurant started to get a little busy. My dish was the pad thai with chicken, that came with soup, salad, egg roll. The noodles were delicious, and the egg roll was fresh. The soup was surprisingly filling so I ended up taking most of the lunch home. The prices were very reasonable and I think my food (including Thai Iced Tea) with tip was under $25, which is pretty much a steal. Plus, I love the ambiance (or is it aesthetic as the young ones call it?). It's a very calming place. Highly recommend!

    Absolutely one of the best Thai spots in Pasadena!…read more I've tried a bunch of Thai places around here, but Janejira Thai Bistro on has become my go-to. It's a cozy, family-run spot right across from Target, and everything we ordered was packed with fresh, bold flavors that actually taste authentic. The portions are seriously generous--I always end up with leftovers for lunch the next day and it's usually even better the next day! The staff is super friendly and attentive, the vibe is casual and welcoming, and the prices are very reasonable, especially compared to some other spots in Pasadena. If you're in the Playhouse District or just craving real Thai food done right, do yourself a favor and stop in. We'll definitely be back soon--it's in our regular rotation of favorite restaurants in Pasadena. Highly recommend. My one and only complaint... they used to offer a dessert called a Croffle. A pastry cross between a croissant and waffle, with bananas, chocolate and whipped cream. It was seriously delicious and I wish they'd bring it back!

They were all gloriously drool-worthily divine!! Likely the most flavorful of these dishes that I've ever tried at a Thai restaurant to date! Completely exceeded all my expectations!! And the portions were so generous! We were so occupied stuffing ourselves silly, that we completely forgot to make room for dessert! And we still had a ton of leftovers to take home! I love this place so much already! Super friendly and attentive staff. Gorgeous decor with an appreciative traditional feel. Limited parking in lot, but it looks like the regulars prefer parking on the street out front when we were leaving. Already planning to return next time our Thai craving hits to try more of their yummy dishes! Highly recommend!!

    Super adorable Thai food shop in Altadena. The vibe and decor inside is extremely cozy and homey…read more They have retro posters and arcade games and old vintage toys decorating the store, which is super cute. We waited around 30 minutes to order and get our food and there were quite a few people in the store when we went on a weekend around 7 PM. We ordered the fried rice with chicken and pad Thai. The portions looked relatively small, but filled us up perfectly. We were a party of three but only ordered two entrée since we weren't that hungry. The fried rice was not too salty and was very well balanced, and the cucumbers added an amazing freshness. The pad Thai had a strong acidity to it, but we enjoyed the crispy pork belly it came with. Both of the entrées were not too oily or greasy. The rest of their menu looked amazing and I hope to be back to try it soon. They also have Thai tea which I am a sucker for, so I'll definitely be back to try that too. Overall, I'd recommend this place for some delicious, casual Thai food and good vibes.

    **Disclaimer--this is based on Miya food booth at Coachella 2026, not the actual restaurant…read morelocation** I went to Coachella Weekend 1 and Miya was actually my very first vendor meal there. I got their Spicy Shrimp Pad Thai and omg... it was lowkey one of the best pad thai I've had in a WHILE. And I don't say that lightly because I'm picky picky when it comes to pad thai. It's literally the one dish I always order at any Thai restaurant, so my standards is kinda up there. But also... this was in the middle of the desert at a music festival so ngl I didn't have high hopes lol. But their Spicy Shrimp Pad Thai was so good!! The flavor was super authentic, spicy, tangy, just hitting all the right notes. The noodles had that perfect chewiness, not clumped together so they know exactly what they doing with their food! The shrimp were big and tasted fresh and all the toppings: bean sprouts, grounded peanuts, and lime, just brought everything together so nicely. Also the staff were super sweet and friendly, and I got my food in likes 5 minutes, gave me more enough time to sit down and enjoy my pad thai while waiting for Sabrina Carpenter's stage setup. Miya's Pad Thai completely won me over at Coachella, it's sooo good to the point where now I actually wanna go visit the real restaurant if I'm ever around the Altadena area.

I was able to find metered parking on the street; not sure why but I didn't need to pay that day! Upon arriving, we were fortunate that there was no wait time and got seated right away. Their menu was quite extensive so we took some time to browse before we ordered. They had a main menu and also a special menu. We pointed out some allergies to the staff and he helped us work around it. The orders came out quickly and he checked in on us frequently to see if we were okay. Great service! Bakka Wild Salmon - This salmon had a lot of things going on for it, in a good way! The combination of flavors felt very refreshing, especially on a hot day. The lime and basil was played a big part there. Crispy Short Rib with Lime - Even initially before coming here, this was the dish that caught our attention. I will admit the portion size was a bit smaller than I expected and was even skeptical when it came out. However, without a doubt, this was the highlight of the visit. As someone that loves savory foods, this really hit the spot. The burst of flavors settles in right away. Truffle Wok Seared Noodles - We wanted to pick this noodle dish as a balance to the protein dishes. It did its job but it tasted okay. Not something that stood out. Slow-Drip Vietnam Coffee Flan - I liked the caramel that was layered on the flan, it was crunchy and added a nice texture. It was a nice presentation but tasted okay. Thai Tea - This was my personal drink. It was a standard Thai tea but came with ice cream on top. It was not too sweet but didn't stand out compared to other items. Strawberry Pandan Lemonade - This was my girlfriend's drink. I had a small sip here but found it was refreshing and not too sweet. However, I didn't really get any pandan flavor, mainly strawberry. When it all comes together, it was a good experience. The interior of the story is more dimly lit and felt like a romantic night dinner, despite being the middle of the day. The dishes had a balance of standard and hidden gems. Everything was more than sufficient for two people to share. Service was great and very attentive. Will come back for the Crispy Short Ribs!

A friend and I met here for happy hour prior to a performance at Pasadena Playhouse. It couldn't be more perfect since it is 1 to 2 blocks away and you only have to park once. You also do not have to rush. They have happy hour until 6 PM and another one at 8 PM. The options for drinks and food, as well as the prices are very appealing, but the quality and taste really make it. The food is more of a Thai fusion with strong Thai flavors. The bar bites are meant to be small, but we ordered about four items that completely filled us up as dinner. Standouts for me, worthy tiger, prawn, ceviche, and the crispy Seabass with mangoes, mango sauce, and papaya salad. All the food has a kick, but it is not overly spicy. When I walked into the bar, I saw some house made bitters and fresh ingredients everywhere so I knew the drinks would be awesome. The Peacock margarita has passionfruit and a touch of Mezcal in it. The lychee margarita is not too sweet and so well balanced. Our mixologist, Sebastian was delightful and provided incredible service. I could go back for all these reasons and definitely will do so

Shame on me for missing out on their delicious food for sixteen years. I seem to recall back then it was more Thai fusion than it is now. But I have consumed a lot of beer, wine, cocktails in the interim so my brain could be foggy on that account. Nevertheless the food we ate was fantastic. I would love to get bottles of their sauces to cook with at home. The summer wraps are largely lettuce and Thai mint - I prefer having a bit more carrot and cuke in them, but I'm not the boss. The spinach peanut with tofu had epic spinach and tasty tofu. The Chinese broccoli in the Pad See Ew was nice and crisp. I guess there is parking in the lot in the back of the store. Seems to be marked for specific stores. I wonder, does the Spa really get that busy they need that many spots? I didn't see anything reserved for Daisy patrons. But I figured most of the other businesses were not open in the evening. Anyway we didn't get a ticket or towed off the lot.
