Great mom & pop shop! Amazing food, amazing service, amazing prices. We definitely will be returning. 😊 I had the all day special and it was $12.50. Doesn’t get better than that!

Diner Review №5

Pad thai was super sour and rotting tasting, like vinegar. Couldnt eat it, had ordered the shrimp and was forsure spoiled. 2 dishes and a mango rice was $42.

The Tum Yum and Tom Kar is amazinggggggg literally the best soup ever and spicy too. Super yummy. Haven’t really tried much else yet tho. The fried egg rolls are pretty good and the udon is amazing in the soup btw. Tara is amazing so tip her good y’all. I split the large soup with my sister and we split and order of udon so the price isn’t bad including the tip

I actually ordered on Uber Eats and did not dine in. I rated them 3 star on Uber Eats because I thought the app would ask why. The food was good and really fresh. I was happy with the food, the way it was packed, how quickly it came, everything. My only criticism would be that the soup was too salty.

However, it is a huge pet peave of mine is when orders arrive without utensils. Am I supposed to eat with my hands? There were no utensils and no napkins. I had to go to the front desk of the hotel I am staying at and they had utensils. However they didn’t have any napkins so I had to use toilet paper.

I only order take out when I travel. I never order when I am at home. I don’t understand why some restaurants don’t include utensils or napkins. This drives me absolutely insane.

I tated 4 stars. I will update it to 5 stars if the restaurant just acknowledges this problem and says they will fix it in the future.

Our family has adored coming to this lovely Thai restaurant tucked away in Azusa! The service is always fast and friendly in a cozy atmosphere. The food is incredible! There is something on the menu for everyone! My favorite offering is the green curry tofu - they ask you which spice level you'd like... If you crave a flavorful kick - they will not disappoint! This pairs well with garlic string beans or sir fried fresh ginger, onion, mushroom and carrot. The kids adore the Chicken Satay and the Crying Tiger grilled marinated beef served with Thai spicy sauce.

Diner Review №12

Don’t expect the dinner portions for curry the bowls are extremely small and not beneficial! I left this restaurant still hungry and the server is rude. Avoid this restaurant

Diner Review №13

I stopped by after hearing great things from my dad. Ordered the crab fried rice. This dish was amazing and fresh off the stove. Unfortunately I live a great distance away but I will definitely be back to try other dishes!

Diner Review №14

The food isn’t bad ig I’m just dissatisfied with the portioning for the orange chicken, first time I came I received a rice and lots of orange chicken but ended up getting no rice and a lot less orange chicken this time. My other meal was filled to the top without care which I was expecting for both meals. Not to mention they should be cleaning a lot more there is thick dust on everything and the seats also r dirty. They r not that busy so it’s sad to see. Other than that my past experience was ok.

Diner Review №16

The food here was amazing. The coconut soup, the pad Thai, Thai coffee, and the mango Curry were all delicious. Comfortable booth to sit in. We will be back

Diner Review №17

Diner Review №18

Food is not that good. The pad see ew was the worse I've had. Sweet and the noodles were dry/hard. Curry were OK. The mango sticky rice had some rotten mango and the sticky rice had some fragrance in it, didn't like it at all.

Diner Review №19

This is not authentic Thai food. Everything was just too sweet. I order the pad se ew and it was soggy. The green curry was just sweet. The crying tiger is suppose to be a steak sliced up but they give you some kind of cut of beef. The sauce for it was not your typical crying tiger sauce, just bland. You’re suppose to put rice powder in it. I could cook better than this place. If you don’t want to cook with fish sauce don’t call yourself Thai food. The only authentic dish was the Jasmine rice.

Diner Review №20

Good Thai food, fast service. Wish pad see ew was just a bit more spicy/flavorful. The curry was delicious.

Diner Review №21

There was no wait time while we were here but the service was great but the best part was the food. Fresh, warm, and the containers for all the dishes and drinks were fun to see. They were out of a few ingredients for dishes but what we all got was really good so we didn't care all that much.

Diner Review №22

I never would have guessed because the location is so simple, but they really are a terrific find. Good homemade Thai food in Azusa? Look no further! Loved it.

Diner Review №23

Service was quick but the food was below expectations. The chicken pad thai caught me off guard since it was heavy on the vinegar. Honestly, did not know there was vinegar in pad thai since it was blended into the ingredients well at other restaurants. The vinegar was prominent in this dish for this restaurant making it difficult to finish. I have had the chicken pad thai previously years ago and I remembered it to be amazing so I am not sure what happened from then until now, maybe a new chef? The spring roll appetizer was very well done with good temperature, good flavor, and crispy. It has a cozy atmosphere with being small but sufficient space between tables. I recommend this place for those on a budget but also can say there are better options not too far away as well for a very similar price.

Diner Review №24

Love this place. Reasonable prices, plenty of available seating. The service was on point and friendly. Will definitely come back again.

Diner Review №25

Thai food delicious here, my family and I have been coming here for years. Dine in is finally available again.

Diner Review №26

Fast phone ordering. Friendly staff. Food is either ok or not good. Chow mein today was way too greasy. Veggies bland. Wonton broth good. Meat dry and stringy texture. Some items have a healthy feel to it. Has potential for better such as the orange chicken but needs work. Too much sweet and orange with orange chicken. Calamari decent. Sauce that goes with the calamari is delicious. I wish I could give a better review. Best wishes!

Diner Review №27

Fast phone ordering and usually pick up in 15 minutes. The sizes are average for most Thai food. One order of anything a la carte serves about 4. Favorites are the green curry and the pad kee mao. A small rice order will serve two. The Thai ice coffee is very strong and dark, even with the layer of milk that floats on top. I take it home and dilute it into two portions with extra milk. It's wonderful but dont drink it too late in the afternoon. It may keep you awake at night!

Diner Review №28

Love Tom Kar soup. It's the real Thai taste in town.

Diner Review №29

This is beyond the best place I have ever had Yellow Curry/ meals and service from! They know how to cure me when I am feeling sick.

Diner Review №30

This is honestly my all time favorite Thai place. Ever since I tried it this is the only place I go to. Before Covid I have dinned in and it’s a small but nice place. Ever since Covid though we have just been doing pick up orders I was nervous the food wasn’t going to be as good but they proved me wrong it is just as delicious! And the food is always nice and hot!!! Which I absolutely love and appreciate! The people that work there are always very nice, even though I usually just interact with the same 2 girls who work the registrar but always really friendly. I was super happy when they finally got apple pay / tap at their location. This place has delicious, great, high quality food, I always recommend this Thai place to my friends and they all love it. I always get their pad sew eww, they have the best noodles absolutely delicious! And their combo fried rice is bomb! My mom gets the green curry with shrimp and she loves how spicy they can get it. My boyfriend gets the crying tiger and loves that. I’m hooked to their pad sew eww though I don’t even care for soy sauce but this dish is the best!

Diner Review №31

Diner Review №39

Great food and great flavours. Thai chef noodles and fried rice taste so delicious. Pad Thai has mediocre taste. Spring rolls taste good too. Thai chef noodles are spicy by default, so medium spice is good to order.

Diner Review №40

Completely disappointing and a waste of $60 bucks seafood soup sucked and had almost nothing in it but water the combination chow mein sucked as did the fried rice . This is the first Thai restaurant iv been to that the food was terrible . We ended up tossing the food after a few bites

The tofu soup is phenomenal, I added spice to give it an extra kick. Wow they don't play with the heat. First time trying this spot, now I'm hooked.

Good food and fast

Diner Review №52

Have eaten here several times now and I have to give them props. I happen to like spicy dishes and their food is very delicious! Anyone can just add lots of chilis to make it hot, but their dishes have great flavor. As a bonus, between their super reasonable prices and very generous portions you can't go wrong.

It is my go to place for Thai food around the area.
Everything is very fairly price and delicious. Sadly the Sweet sticky Rice mango is a seasonal treat. It is just the best.
The service is nice if anyone wish to dine in. They are fast and polite.

Great restaurant. Wonderful service and food! Our waiter was so friendly and attentive. He also gave us his recommendations for food. Both he and other staff were constantly refilling our waters. My husband ordered a Thai tea and it was nice and strong and came in a cute glass.

Diner Review №76

Diner Review №77

I really wanted to assign 4.5-stars. Google simply will not allow for that. The menu is a little small but the waiter and kitchen gladly accommodated my special request.
Clean.
Efficient.
Very Friendly
Our meals were rather tastey too!

Diner Review №78

Diner Review №79

If you love bbq chicken and ribs, this place served it juicy and tasty. Chicken was juicy and a rub served with a dipping sauce. Pork spare ribs is juicy with a very tasty rub. Papaya salad is awesome and pad thai is good too! Will try some other food next time!

It has been like an extension to our kitchen because we either have lunch or dinner every week. Authentic thai food and the price is very affordable.

Diner Review №90

Love the healthe chicken and veggies.

Diner Review №91

This is our favorite Thai food in the Azusa/Glendora area. Everything on their menu is excellent, and their customer service is great.

Diner Review №92

I ordered Podthai, Podseeew, spring rolls and fried wantang. I can say those were one of the top best3 in my life!

Diner Review №93

Diner Review №94

Diner Review №95

Good customer service and my food order (seafood soup) had an interesting taste that was not expected. However it was fresh but cold.

Diner Review №96

Casual, but very delicious! A word of warning: don't ASK for your dish to be made spicy. As my husband said, there's a difference between Chinese spicy and Thai spicy.

Diner Review №97

Great food, excellent service, good prices. Lunch special is 7 days/week! My favorite dishes are Tom Kha, Pad See Ew, Cashew Chicken, Thai Basil, & Cucumber Salad.

The soup & salad that come with the lunch special are both very good. The soup usually has chicken, but can be made vegetarian. I like extra salad dressing on the side.

The Thai tea without ice for $2.50 is good.

The brown rice is good, and the peanut sauce is a nice addition.

Yellow curry is good, but pretty spicy, so I'll order it mild next time.

Pad thai and mixed vegetable are okay.

Next time I will try the orange chicken, chow mein, & mongolian beef lunch specials. Also the beef salad, panang curry, pad kee mao, & fried rice.

Diner Review №98

Good food, service can be a little slow.

Diner Review №114

The Azusa/ Glendora area has no shortage of Thai restaurants.
In an area no larger than three square miles, there are five Thai restaurants. Five!
But, as I have been to each several times, I can say with a degree of authority that Thai Chef Cuisine is the best Thai restaurant in the Azusa/ Glendora area.
They have the best phone order operation. They have the best lunch and dinner specials. And they have the best Thai tea.
The staff of Thai Chef, like most Thai restaurants in California, is first generation Thai and Indonesian immigrants, so often language is a barrier. However, even in this regard, Thai Chef excels. If you enjoy Thai food, you likely already know it is not a dining experience with lends itself to modification, but in my experience, the staff at Thai Chef is the most willing to work with you that I have encountered.
They also do my favorite thing at a Thai restaurant, which is warn their customers that things are spicy. With four levels of heat, the staff have an adorable habit of reminding anyone who orders anything hotter than level 2 that "It is very hot". And they are not lying. It is just another example of their consideration towards customer service.
Friendly staff, quality service, delicious food. Thai Chef should be called Thai King because they reign over the competition.

Diner Review №115

Lived In Azusa almost 10 yrs yet never tried Thai Chef Cuisine before... man have I been missing out! Went in today to pick up something to take home since I was too tired to cook. Very impressed. Delicious. Service was great. Busy though ( everyone likes it)
Definitely going back !

Diner Review №116

Nice!

Diner Review №117

This "hole in the wall" is definitely something that must be tried. I got Tom Kar Kai, which is basically coconut Tom Yum with chicken. It was definitely good. I also had Thai Iced Tea and Thai donors and they were delicious too! Service was great and waiting time was reasonable.

Diner Review №118

Best Thai food enjoyed with family’s . Loved the Pineapple fry rice and hot and spicy shrimp soups . Love the desert mango with sticky rice with coconut tasted . Yum yum!

Diner Review №119

Diner Review №121

ข้าวผัดอร่อย

Diner Review №122

This place is pretty good, wish the lunch special lasted longer. Also wish they had more dairy options but there food is very delicious.

Diner Review №123

Great Thai food in Azusa area. Very popular among the locals, lots of college kids go here. The food was amazing and fresh. Good portions. I order Pad Thai and Duck Curry, very filling. They gave me a free Thai ice tea too!! I will be sure to come back again. Everything was tasty and delicious. Enough portions for a 2nd meal, because I couldn't finish it all. I order to go so I can only speak for the pick up experience, which was fast and easy.

Diner Review №124

The Spicy cat fish and shrimp salad are awesomely prepared and served.

Diner Review №135

I asked for the lemon coconut seafood soup. The lemongrass gave a a wonderful citric flavor and the combination with the coconut milk. Gave it a delicious twist.. I have had plenty of pad sew ew. In various restaurants this one by far is on top of my list. I definitely recommend this Thai place. It small cozy dificult to see from the street.

Small place but delicious food. The mango fried rice with tofu was one of the best fried rice iterations I've ever had. Bummed about the lack of refills on soda but free refills on ice tea is great. The spicy food is legitimately spicy which is fantastic.

Amazing! This has been my go to place for Thai food for the past 2 years. The ladies that ring me up are super friendly and they always are smiling and cheerful! Along with the fantastic customer service their food is killer! The Panag curry is especially my favorite especially on a nice cold day it's heaven!

the fried rice was either old or undercooked, the texture was hard and chalky. the meat balls on the stick was dry and reminded me of Styrofoam. the pad thai was decent

Diner Review №169

Hidden Gem!!!!

Diner Review №170

Diner Review №171

Great taste. Great service. Loved it! Red Curry is more creamy and coconutty than other places and that's alright for me!

Diner Review №172

I had a lunch special here which was just $6.50, and comes with an entree, and soup. I did a Yelp check in for a free Thai ice tea which was quite yummy. The garlic pepper I ordered had yummy sauce with nicely cooked carrot slices and broccoli, but the beef was a litte tough. The soup that came along was so pleasant though, it was just broth, some rice, and bits of chicken but I really enjoyed it. My lunch special also came with a salad that was alright.

The server was adorable and sweet, and the service was fast since I was the only other customer in the store at the time. I wish I lived closer so I could give other lunch entrees a chance, but overall I was satisfied. Also there's normally a minimum of $10 on credit card purchases so keep that in mind. (though my server cut me a break)

Diner Review №173

This place has delicious cashew chicken and yellow curry(careful, it is spicy). Special thanks goes to Fook, he was very friendly and helpful. This place deserves 5 stars! Highly recommended
