    Our first time at Thaim, The hostess was very nice & she was very hardworking. Miguel was very nice, efficient and polite. Had great recommendations on the menu. Our food was fresh, and delicious.

    Recently discovered this new and unique thai food spot in Pasadena!! The pad see ew with short rib & pra nakhon salad are a MUST try. This is also the first time I've heard of a place serving thai tea slushy, mango sticky rice slushy, & matcha lava cake!!! Employees were really nice as well.

    ThaiM is one of the newest Thai Spots in Old Town Pasadena off of Union Street that brings the Bangkok Street Charm, modern diner aesthesis and elevated Thai Street flavors to the next level. The drink menu is filled with a variety of visually fun and tasty drinks that may cause you ADD such as their Mango Sticky Rice Slushy, Milo Cloud, Red Rimthang Soda or cool down with a Thai Tea Slushy with Coconut Foam. At ThaiM, the menu is intentional to reflect what is in season, what is trending in Bangkok's food scene and balancing between traditional and new favorites. It's an absolute must that a salad has to be part of your meal with vibrant fresh fruits and veggies, crunchy textures and that addictive sweet, spicy and sour Thai tang can be found in many of their salads like the Bangkok Fruit Salad, Sweet Corn Salad, Short Rib Pra Nakhon Salad. The Thai seasoned proteins such as grilled pork jowl, grilled short rib and even the grilled Thai marinated chicken adds an extra layer of deliciousness and compliments the Bangkok Pad Thai Boran and the Midnight Train Fried Rice so well. If you are a fan of exploring new flavors or simply miss that Bangkok vibe with great service, ThaiM is that spot you need to explore right now. Hurry!

    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.

    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.

    I'm happy to report that I was able to catch them while they were open (thank you for updating the hours!) and had a fantastic time! The ambiance was amazing, their interior is cute and trendy. The food was delicious! We split one order of wings and the Bangkok Basil Bowl with ground pork. I got their Thai Tea Slushy and my husband got a few refills of one of their beers. Everything was perfect and the service was amazing, friendly and very attentive! My husband prefers his beer glass cold and thats exactly how they served it for him & he was so impressed as restaurants have rarely serviced him that automatically. We have found our new favorite Thai restaurant! I'm so glad we were able to give them a second chance & it was worth the second attempt. Looking forward to many more meals here!

    My husband and I spent a beautiful afternoon having lunch at Thaim. This new Thai restaurant is an excellent addition to the Pasadena food scene and serves delicious street food. I have to start my review by saying how absolutely wonderful the service is here. All of the staff are genuinely so kind and warm and just truly go above and beyond to take care of you during your visit. The overall environment is also super cozy and inviting. The food Thaim is serving is spectacular. We ordered a Thai tea slushy, Pad thai with fried tofu and Pad see ew with marinated chicken. We were blown away by everything we had. Both dishes stood out from the usual versions we typically get. The Pad thai was balanced and flavorful with a fresh tanginess, and the fried tofu added great texture and flavor without being too heavy or greasy. The Pad see ew had excellent smoky wok char, and the marinated chicken was tender, well-seasoned, and noticeably more flavorful than typical. These dishes were different in the best ways. I saw criticism that portions are small here, which I would agree that comparatively the portions are smaller than some other places, but the quality of ingredients is truly impressive here. I personally think smaller portions for quality is worth it. The Thai tea slushy was also very delicious. It was thicker than expected, almost like a milk shake, but it was very enjoyable. We really loved every part of our visit to Thaim and will certainly come back to try more!

    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!

    Grace W.

    Service was fast and the dishes were very flavorful. The sous vide short rib was really nice and tender and the egg tofu (mommy old style) was perfectly cooked! I also appreciated that adding mushroom and veg was a generous portion of okra, cauliflower, mushrooms, and onions.

    Mango slushy  OMG this so refreshing
    PriyaTaya M.

    The food was absolutely delicious, especially the short ribs -- they were so tender and literally melted in my mouth. We ordered Pad thai short rib which my bf said this is the best Pad thai he has ever had, we ordered pra na korn salad, my fav dish latly. restaurant itself was also incredibly cute, giving off a Thai vintage restaurant vibe in Old Town Pasadena. And the service? I'd give it 100 out of 10 without hesitation. I will definitely going back and try other dishes which look so yummy also

    Basil bowl with mushrooms and veggies
    Vanessa C.

    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.

    Pad Thai with Salmon
    Mariajose R.

    Cute little restaurant. Food was tasty. We had Pad Thai with Salmon and the Goon ob Woonsen. Both were flavorful. The Pad Thai served over the banana leaf is a nice touch. The service is friendly. The only reason I didn't give it a 5stars is that I wish the plates had a little more weight to them (it kept moving when is get my food).

    Kor Moo
    Pauline L.

    Popped in on the right day!!! They just released a few new dishes on their menu that I thought were delicious. The staff were extremely sweet, warm, and inviting and the ambience was clean and hip. But most importantly the food was up to my Thai standards! Everything was perfectly spicy, fresh, and vibrant. Flavors were a great balance of sweet, sour, salty, and heat. I'm definitely coming back and bringing people along.

If you come for dinner, do yourself a favor and order the Brussels sprouts, they're only available at dinner, and I genuinely get them every single time. They're that good. The noodle soups are always incredible too. The broth is rich and flavorful, the noodles are perfectly cooked, and no matter how many times I've been, the quality has never changed. That kind of consistency is hard to find and really keeps me coming back. The service is always friendly and the food comes out surprisingly quickly, even when they're busy. I also appreciate that they're a tipless restaurant with a 20% service charge already included. It's nice knowing the staff is taken care of without having to think about calculating a tip at the end.

As for the pork ribs, the tamarind sauce gave it a big boost. Beef rendang and the carbonara were also great. Service was gracious to us, as we arrived early before our reservation time and the rest of our party did not arrive until five minutes later, they let us in early, though one of the servers gave the rice bowl I ordered a bit later than expected, since I thought it was going to come out as soon as the sisig came. They also gave a drink that one of my party ordered a bit too slow. Atmosphere-wise, we dined al fresco or outside, and it was pretty cool outside, so everything was good. This was my second visit to the restaurant, and overall, I would highly recommend this place if you want to look for fine dining in Pasadena!

Soft spoken and kind, we were very at ease with him. The restaurant itself was beautiful and the couches are very comfortable, which was a huge plus. The ginger ale is made in house and is many tiers higher than Canada Dry. We ordered the Panda Beef and the Panda Inn Special because it was our first time there and why not? Lean in to what their specials are. Both dishes were amazing. The Panda Inn Special featured large plump bites of lobster, chicken, and shrimp, with a medley of vegetables and smaller pieces of pork. The Panda Beef was shockingly amazing with crisp and flavorful slices of beef. We finished up dinner with Chocolate Lava Cake and the Warm Rice Pudding, the latter of which is also made in house. Both were a very great end to the dinner. Other notes that were very appreciated: - the checkbook and how nice it looked -they took the parking ticket with the check so we didn't have to go validate it ourselves - white rice is free? - the bar had an automatic wine glass shiner that was fun to look at - take out bag has a very luxury feel to it

I also wanted to mention one of the cleaning staff--a friendly gentleman with a beard. As he was passing by, he noticed I had dropped one of my chopsticks, picked it up, threw it away, and then went to grab a new pair for me from the other side--even though I was almost done eating. I didn't necessarily need them, but it was still thoughtful. He could have easily ignored it, but he chose to help. The place is getting busier, and small actions like this make it feel more comfortable. He's always working hard, and people like him deserve to be seen and respected.
