As a native Thai and now lives in NYC, my standards for Thai food are pretty high and this place truly impressed me. I discovered this little gem while road trip through Pasadena, Ca This new Thai restaurant offers a creative twist on the street food I remember eating as a child in Bangkok. The menu is unique and thoughtfully put together. I especially loved the crispy fried egg tofu, which you can add to any dish. I’ve never seen egg tofu served this way at another Thai restaurant! The pork jowl is also a must try!! tender, flavorful, and perfect as an appetizer. I also loved how they turned their storage shelves along the wall into part of the décor. Stocked with Thai ingredients and products, they made the space feel like an old school Thai grocery store and brought back warm memories of growing up in Bangkok. Don’t forget to pair your food with one of their natural wines. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend stopping by!

Colorful thai resturant! Love all the pops of color. Food was delicious!! Super flavorful and tasted like homestyle thai food. Service was so welcoming and friendly. Portions were perfectly sized so you dont walk away overly stuffed. Definitely a fan and will be back!

This new Thai spot in Pasadena is a must-try! 🇹🇭 The vibe is super cute, like a fun street market. The food is delicious, especially for vegetarians. My wife, a meat-eater, loved her dish too! Just a heads-up, the vegan morning glory can be a bit salty, so ask them to go easy on the soy sauce. Overall, a great place to check out! 🤩 #ThaiFood #Pasadena #Restaurant #Foodie #Vibes

Finally got to try this viral Thai spot. So let’s see if they’re pretty good eh or ew. I got their black pink drink, mango sticky rice slushy, corn salad, short rib salad, egg tofu pad Thai, and ground pork basil bowl to try. The mango sticky rice slushy was topped with a not too sweet light coconut foam and shavings. The drinks tasted pretty similar and were both bright, lemonadey, and refreshing. Surprisingly tho the black pink one tasted a bit more mangoy. The corn salad had a salted egg, juicy sweet cherry tomatoes and corn with some green beans, nutty crunchy peanuts, and was very garlicy with some fish saucy notes. The short rib salad came with some tender yummy 24 hour sous vide short rib that even had a nice crisp sear, fresh leafy greens, and crunchy juicy cucumbers cherry tomatoes and onions. It was tangy a bit spicy and sweet. The egg tofu pad Thai had some jiggly silky fried egg tofus, crunchy chicharron, fresh bean sprouts, and some perfectly springy sweet lightly tangy and savory pad Thai noodles. I got the ground pork basil bowl with brown rice and it was super flavorful, savory, comforting and just pure deliciousity. It can get a bit pricey but Vibes are super aesth

ELEVATED THAI STREET FOOD We’ve been to Thailand over 20X, each one a culinary experience, with Thai being one of our fave go to’s for dinner. Thaim is a new gem in the Pasadena food scene. Came here on thier first day… The Pad Thai and Kra Pow Gai - the standard measure for Thai street food - are both excellent. Ingredients cooked with super fresh veggies and quality meats (you can taste the difference). Thai Iced Tea was legit, but overpriced. We came back a second time and had the Mango Sticky Rice and Thai Tea Slushies which were good. Thai Tea Slushy was chocolate nutty in a great way. Chopsticks feel more of an American decor, since Thais don’t really use them unless it’s Khao Soi. Nonetheless, atmosphere is great, love the music mix and overall vibes. Excellent service. The owner / host is super nice and exudes Thai Smiles!!! We look forward to seeing how the menu will evolve from their soft open. Loving this new addition to our neighborhood - Thank You CHEF!!!
