Hear from our valued guests
The food was beyond amazing. Very flavorful and prepared to order so it’s guaranteed fresh! I loved the atmosphere inside, jazz music and ambient lighting really ties the place together. Staff was wonderful and welcoming, went above and beyond to make sure our visit was great. Would definitely recommend.
This is our new favorite Thai restaurant, and among our favorite restaurants in general. The food is excellent, very fresh and tasty, not oily. They do what they call "water sauteing", with no oil or very little oil. The pineapple curry was especially amazing. The food was very tasty, and still not too spicy, and the desserts were all amazing. It's easy to taste the fresh and tasty mangos used in the mango desserts Mainly we loved the time that the owner took to talk with guests, and the rest of the staff was also great.
This Thai Restaurant is so beautiful. I was on An excursion and had the opportunity to drop by here for both lunch and dinner on a separate occasion. Both times the staff were amazing and helpful - During my lunch, they even offered me a complementary dessert and I enjoyed it very much - Please try their mango pudding - It is unparalleled. And I also had a chance of having dinner and trying their Panang Chicken, curry, and It was scrumptious. They really appreciate their customers in every single way, and even the owner of the restaurant came by to greet me personally - I wish I had more moments here, but I have to go back Home. But if I’m ever in Southern California, which may possibly be this summer than I will make sure to drop by again, and Try more menu items. Thank you so much for your hospitality and delicious food
5-Star Review: Tiny Thai Gem Worth Every Bite! This little hidden Thai restaurant is a true neighborhood treasure. With only a handful of tables, it has a cozy, welcoming vibe that feels like dining in a friend's home. The food is wonderfully authentic—fresh, bold flavors that taste straight from Thailand. The green curry was rich and perfectly spiced, the pad Thai perfectly balanced with that signature tang, and the tom yum soup was vibrant and aromatic. Every dish bursts with quality ingredients and genuine taste. The staff is incredibly attentive, checking in at just the right moments. Best of all, the owner is hands-on, personally greeting guests and ensuring everything is perfect. A no-frills spot with big flavor and warm hospitality. Highly recommend—5 stars! We'll be back soon. 🍛✨
Ty of Thai Thyme is an exceptional host. After dinner, he's rokk the time to greet our party and give us insights as to visiting Thailand. He was very nice and hospitable. But I digress, the FOOD was phenomenal! We ordered the Tom Ka soup, chicken curry, shrimp fried rice, beef pad Thai, chicken satay, and Thai ice teas. Everything was so flavorful and perfectly seasoned. Authentic Thai spices and chile. We'll be going bab very soon!!!
Great atmosphere and lots of food choices. They use fresh ingredients, and the dishes have rich, aromatic flavors. Their spice level is no joke! (Coming from a rural area with limited Asian cuisine options, we’re used to “medium spicy” meaning barely spicy and “level 1” meaning no spice at all - so pardon me lol.)
First time trying out this restaurant. Got Tom Yum Soup, Fish Cake appetizer and Beef Drunken Noodle... let me tell you, extremely flavorful and thought I was in Thailand!!! This will be one of my go to restaurants!!!
Hadn't been here in a while. Had an amazing dinner with friends. We ordered a soup, pad se yw, rice 🍚 panang curry with pork and some noodles that were yellowish and kind of soupy that were the highlight! Only I can't remember the name but it will be in my pictures. I believe it had shrimp 🍤. Everything tasted so good 👍. The service is always great here and the owner is very attentive and friendly.
Very good Thai food! I highly recommend it! Large portions and deliciousness await! Also conveniently located on Myrtle in Monrovia amongst other shops for a great night out.
It’s obvious that the owner cares a lot about the food quality and the restaurant overall. You can feel the warm and welcoming atmosphere as soon as you walk in. Multiple workers came to our table over 7 times to check up on my table. I’ve truly never had a restaurant experience like this one. The service was outstanding.
