What People Are Saying About Thai Dishes Restaurant

In Short – The original Santa Monica location has been attracting loyal Westsiders since Day One, and its satellites--located from Pasadena to Redondo Beach--are also rousing success stories. The dining rooms are comfortable, the pace is brisk, and servers are congenial and efficient. This is a great spot for families and groups. If you're on the run, opt for takeout or delivery. Geared toward American palates, this Thai food is fresh, satisfying and not too spicy.

Good Food - Bad Business Practices!
by mitchgates
We love the food here and order delivery from there often. However, the last time I ordered I tried to use a coupon they printed in their OWN menu for "$5 off an order of $25 or more for take-out or DELIVERY". When I mentioned this I was told that they only honor $3 off, not $5 for delivery. I said that the coupon clearly says for delivery orders, which brought an array of excuses of "those are expired" (which they clearly were NOT based on expiration date of Jan 1st 2008), "they were misprinted so we are not responsible" (coupons were part of glossy menus that we recieved multiple times over period of months, directly from their own delivery guys). Even after all this they refused to budge and honor the full advertised discount and I told them it was pretty unbeliveable they would risk running off a good customer forever over $2. I'm not sure if I'll ever order from them again after this, even though the food is great.
- Pros: Good Food
- Cons: Petty Business Practices

Good food, compared to most Thai restaurants the portions are much bigger
by len74
This place is small and simple. The decor is not impressive, however the food is delectable and the servings are a good size. I especially enjoy their barbeque chicken and pad thai. The staff are warm, welcoming and very attentive. The price is average. Parking are available at the back, validation are provided. Free parking are also available in front, however they tend to be full during peak hours.
- Pros: Tasty thai dishes

Our Absolute Favorite!
by claritarejoice
I like trying different places but also like having one favorite we can go to when we don't want to make a decision. This place is a real find for Pasadena - and I probably shouldn't write a review because I don't want more people to discover it. In any case, the prices here are lower than the rest of Old Town - it's like the restaurant hasn't discovered yet that they could charge more if they wanted. Well, maybe they have - they did just raise their prices recently but only by a dollar. Great ambiance - large, high ceilings, patio seating (on the street) and it's never been crowded when I've gone. More upscale food and more choices than fast-food Thai, bet less expensive than a place like Saladang. Again, I feel like I'm cheating them with the prices lower than comparable places. My favorites are the green curry and the thai dishes spring rolls - they have never failed. The only dish I haven't liked (tried it twice) is the duck salad - way way too salty both times - they have another duck dish you could try instead. My husband always gets the pad thai - I used to be sick of this dish because I'd gotten it made poorly at so many other standard Thai places, but the pad thai here is very good. Entrees, noodle dishes and lunch specials have very good prices. The wine is also less expensive than comparable places - I think a 1/2 carafe was $6 but they might have raised the price a little. They also have takeout. This is our default restaurant. Go here before it gets too popular!
- Pros: Better than similarly-priced Thai places, low alcohol prices, very nice atmosphere, outdoor seating (althoug on street).
- Cons: Parking is always tough in this area - we park on the street and walk a few blocks.
