Our fav Thai spot!! Everything's delicious and the service is friendly and fast! Thank you to the staff and cooks!

Cashew Chicken
Sarah R.

I've ordered from Trendy Thai multiple times over the past 3 years. Their cashew chicken is amazing. All their dishes are well made and priced very low. The service was very fast and friendly.

Rarely say this, Hidden gem. I genuinely come to this place for the cleanliness and delicious food. Service is always attentive and top notch attitude. Restaurant is always real clean and taken care of. Tried different vegetarian dishes when I come and always rotate for what craving I have. All real good with clean ingredients, never too oily. Vegetables are always cooked exactly how they should be. Thank you Trendy Thai!

Trendy Thai is delicious! Always fresh. Great customer service. Very clean restaurant. They are always wearing masks and keeping the restaurant clean. Great selection of vegetarian dishes. However, you can make anything veg by asking for veggie or tofu instead of a meat option. This is what I do often. This is an overdue review so I've posted several photos of yummy dishes. My kids' favorites: cashew chicken and pad see ew beef+shrimp. My favorites: spicy salad (I get it with tofu but it's good with any choice), wonton soup, spicy eggplant, and ESPECIALLY kee mao chow mein (veggie or tofu but delicious with shrimp or anything you choose!). That's if you like spicy

Trendy Thai hit the spot on a Friday afternoon. I was in the area and Yelp to the rescue. Everything we ordered for lunch was amazing. It was so good that I forgot to take photos before diving in. John, the owner, was so helpful and gave great recommendations. We had egg rolls with plum sauce and calamari to start. That plum sauce was heavenly. I ordered a few things to try since it was my first time. With the help of John, I had their spicy eggplant with tofu, yellow curry with tofu, and shrimp pad see you. Oh my goodness. Everything was outstanding but the spicy eggplant with tofu was extraordinary. It was hands down my fave! Would I order it again? Absolutely! I'll definitely be back to try more things off their menu, but I'm a creature of habit and will probably order the same thing again. Thank you Trendy Thai for a memorable experience!

Finally jumping on the Yelp bandwagon. Been coming here since Sam the previous owner and continued to do so when the new owner took over several years back. I met the new owner and most of the family. The restaurant had a major work done. Carpet floor replaced by tiles, walls painted with earth tone colors, countertop cashier area redone. Now moving on to the good stuff-food. This place is as authentic Thai as you can get and I have had my fair share of Thai Dishes throughout the world including several trips to Thailand herself. By far one of the best tasting, flavorful dishes in the area. I have had EVERYTHING on the menu from Tom Yum, Trendy Fried Rice, Curries to Pad Kee Mao just to name a few. Makes my mouth watery just thinking of their menu and wait...there is more. Since it is cooked to order, you can customize it. I've always ordered Pad Kee Mao and Spicy Chicken with extra basil and they always accommodated my request. Talk about service right. I have had my fair share of international dishes and for Thai food, I would always compare other places to Trendy Thai. That should say something about this restaurant. I always ended up leaving this restaurant completely satisfied. Overall, good attentive services, clean facility and authentic made to order dishes. Highly recommended as I have done to friends and family when they are in the neighborhood. Also for those that give out 1 star when dining out (probably don't even tip)...they should just stay home and cook for themselves... and that is my OPINION.

Server was missing in action through our meal. I wish she was doing her homework while I was eating so I had someone to ask for service.

Under new ownership? That's the rumor and possibly right. We were the only ones in the restaurant at 6pm on a Monday night, so they definitely don't have a dinner rush. Food was good, but the dip in rating was for the service. Considering we were the only ones there, it would not have been hard to keep me happy. Ask me once if I'm ok and check my water glass, other than that I'm really low maintenance. Did not check on us until we were almost done with our food and was also missing in action most of the time. I was looking for one thing, the green Chile's that I'm used to seeing along with the other spices at the table, but by the time she checked on us, we were done with our food. I assumed the new ownership did away with the green Chile's, but when I asked she said they were put away. At 6pm? Didn't even offer us option of asking if we needed anything while we were eating? As you will see from the pictures, the server uses the time for homework, which is none of my business, but even if she was sitting at her computer that would have been better than her not being available at all. At least if she was working on her laptop, She would have been close enough to ask for service. At one point, I was going to yell out loud to the kitchen for service and the green Chile's. This used to be a favorite go to for Thai, but if service is going to suck this bad, there are other places to try that are also nearby.

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."

I like how they have expanded their menu with additional options other than simply noodle options…read more We tried their pork pan fried dumplings (3/5) since the skin was overpoweringly thick, but the filling was decent. 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.

The food is good and tastes clean. We've pretty much ate everything on the menu like a TRUE fatty. We like the chicken wings app that has this nice curry with a hint of spicy rub and the side sauce gives this good balance of some kind of sweet chili ketchup? Our go to is the beef noodle or the short rib noodle (same same but different) and the tomato egg noodle. The tomato egg noodle gives the childhood nostalgia of the Chinese egg tomato dish that I'm sure majority of Chinese family makes for dinner. The noodles are def fresh every time. More recently we were adventurous and got the build your own stir fried noodles and yum. I highly recommend this chain.

This was our first time here and will not be returning to any noodle st based off this unsatisfying encounter.

When placing the phone order, she will try to make sure that the food is ready when you arrive. And she will always say in mandarin in an almost scolding tone: "hurry up and go home and eat the food. It won't be as good if you wait to long to eat it! " Honestly...the scolding makes the food taste better.

The staff also wears gloves when handling food. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is available for take outs and has some indoor seating available with limited capacity. They are sanitizing / cleaning in between customers. I mention these things in my reviews for the sake of protecting immunocompromised people like the elderly and people sick with cancer and other illnesses. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was grabbing my food from this establishment, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They currently don't have happy hour. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is pretty big since they share a parking lot with many other establishments. The parking spot sizes vary depending on where you park. There shouldn't be any issues finding a spot. Food: I ordered an Indonesian fried rice and pork satay skewers with rice. The Indonesian fried rice was really delicious. The Indonesian fried rice had some greens, eggs, garlic, dried shallots, dried onions, raw onions, green onion, chicken, and meatball. All cooked to perfection. There were a good amount of chicken and meatballs in the dish. Both were soft, juicy, tender, and full of flavors. I love that the hot rice was slightly crunchy. It reminded me of eating rice from a hot stone bowl. For the pork satay skewers, I was lowkey disappointed that they didn't have lamb this time. I originally ordered lamb satay skewers, but they told me they didn't have it so they asked me to order a different satay skewer. I opted for pork satay skewers. This dish normally comes with rice cakes, but I'm not a fan of the texture of rice cakes, so I asked them to give me plain white rice instead. They happily obliged and gave me a bowl of white hot and steaming white rice along with 5 pork satay skewers. The marinade for the pork satay skewers had hints of garlic, lemon, honey, sweet soy sauce, and peanut sauce. An extremely delicious marinade for the pork satay skewers. The grilled pork itself was very aromatic, tender, juicy, and flavorful. So incredibly umami! A good portion for the price point for both dishes. I do agree with other Yelpers that I felt extremely thirsty after eating both dishes. Perhaps they need to tone it down a bit on the MSG. Staff: The staff here are very friendly, happy, welcoming, and helpful. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum. Also, right when you walk into the restaurant, there is a very cute and small market. You can get some delicious Indonesian snacks and other things while you wait for your food. I highly recommend coming here and giving this lovely mom and pop Indonesian restaurant a try. Sooooo fricken good!

I got the Braised Beef Noodle Soup with Wide Flat Noodle and in Medium Spicy. Everything was exactly to my tastes. Fantastic hand pulled noodles with great texture, delicious soup and their chili is actually spicy, numbing and very flavorful. They are heavy handed with the spice, I'd say their medium is a typical extra spicy. I typically order extra spicy elsewhere but was trying to cut down on the oil a bit so got medium here and was pleasantly surprised that the level of spice was just right for me. If you're not use to spice, definitely get mild or no spice. This is a dish I would get over and over again and never get tired of it!

What I liked, soup base clear, had hints of Sand Ginger, Umami Bone Broth, hints of cinnamon, heavy parsley/ cilantro, fennel, star anise, black cardamom, white peppercorns, mmmm, I can taste the broth even now, 2 days after that meal, very distinct, and when paired with their in-house chilli oil, not the one on the table, the actual spicy one they exclusively keep inside the kitchen, you can taste the additional layers to the chilli oil and it just brings the entire LanZhou Noodles to a whole another level. The lamb Rou Jia Mou was really filling. I liked the quantity, not overtly big, not too greasy, and had just the right amount of protein to keep the dish an appetizer, as you await the main course. Pickedled Sweet Kimchi Cabbage was also very enjoyable, although I prefer the in house ones made at Yumi Time in City of Industry better crispiness to the bite in their version and more balanced taste. A solid four, because I'm biased. Having worked with two extremely talented masters in Phoenix Arizona, I've tasted what could be the best LanZhou Noodles and Best Xiao Long Bao any seasoned restaurant staff could ask for. My former colleague Hand Pulled Noodle Master chef Shuai used to head the reknown LanZhou Noodles place in Gaithersburg Maryland serving up all those Ambassadors, Lobbyists, DC Politicians, and when we were in Phoenix Arizona, along with Pastry / Flour Dim Sum Master Chef Sister Ying, we concocted probably the best Xiao Long Bao / Rou Jia Mou and LanZhou Hand Pulled Noodles to ever grace the lands of Arizona and in my opinion, was far superior than any other place in Los Angeles. But again that's just me. I'm biased and I've been blessed to sit down, and have worked with some of the best small kitchen crews and experience great staff meals. And this leads to me to my conclusion: Yes, I'm putting this restaurant officially on my #2 for Chinese Noodle Soups in LA. This place will from now on be in my casual rotation. A no frills, real, down to Earth Noodle Shop. Why I like it? Just the overall setting doesn't try too much. On the surface it looks really plain, boring, not much to expect. But once you try it, it just suddenly makes sense, this can be your go-to Pho shop but for LanZhou Noodles and certain types of Cumin Lamb Chow Mein. #1 Corner Beef Noodle House in El Monte #2 Lan Noodle in West Covina
