Diner Review №5

Honestly it's delicious. The fried chicken dumplings were delicious with a sweet sauce on the side. Then the fried rice with pork was pretty good as well. Pork was a little dry but adding jalapeños & chili gives it a good kick. The water was refreshing & the plate was really adorbs like something your grandma would have. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №16

We had the Tom Kha, Tom Yum, Yellow curry and green curry. We really enjoyed everything though my partner requested less spicy for the green curry and felt that it lacked in flavor overall. Service was very friendly. Yellow curry was great and the tofu was a great texture. Highly recommend Thai Fantasy!

Diner Review №17

The Pad See Ew was not memorable. The food was cooked well but it lacked flavor. Service was good although I showed up midday so I was the only one there. The men’s bathroom really smells musty; no great ventilation.

Don't be fooled by the modest surroundings. This place is an absolute gem!
Really friendly, attentive service, and the food is to die for. Absolutely delicious and clearly made using the freshest of ingredients, and at very reasonable prices.
Highly recommended.

When I lived in the area, Thai Fantasy was my daughter and my favorite place to lunch and have our heart to heart talks. Their food is amazing, the restaurant is understated and neat and the service is great!

En la vía Marisol, donde vive mi amigo, bajando hacia al cuidad hay un centro de negocios (mercado, ferretería, etc.) donde está este Restaurante de comida Tahilandesa, atendido por una mujer de ese origen. La comida rica, el servicio bueno, no sse que comí solo dije "no fish, no spice" (sin pescado ni picante) y a lo hecho, pecho. Me gustó realmente no solo la comida sin la sencillez del lugar, y una decoración armoniosa. Debo decir que en esta reglón las comidas son picantes, tal vez influenciadas por la cultura mexicana. No tengo fotos, no se me ocurrió tomarlas, pero por el Google podrán ver todo lo que quiera,.

Got takeout delivered the other day, decent food at decent prices. Generous portions. Tried the pad thai and fantasy combo. Nothing really stood out, it was fine for a quick pick me up. Thai coffee was a little too sweet. Would try other things on the menu. (Edit: I used Postmates/Uber)

Diner Review №32

Very delicious food. All fresh made. They had very chill music playing as we ate our food. It was definitely what I needed. I will come back.

Diner Review №33

This place is *fantastic*. They only use the best ingredients. One time I asked for something with mango, and instead of selling it to me to make a buck, they told me it would be better if I came back in a few days when the mangos were ripe. I have so much respect for that. Everything I've had here is great, and I keep coming back.

First take out: success! The pineapple fried rice was fresh and tasty with generous portions of tender chicken and shrimp, the sautéed eggplant’s sauce was on point and the pad see ew so good! From that small kitchen comes out a lovely authentic flavor. Cheers to that and for being in the same neighborhood.

Diner Review №45

We went almost 3 times a week because the food was so good will definitely be back

Diner Review №46

Consistent flavor!

Diner Review №47

Got pretty bad food poisoning from the chicken panang curry. Vomiting, etc. Vegetables are likely from frozen, curry pastes from the tin, and the meat was old tasting. This food is not fresh; they are cheap ingredients. Not the food fantasy I was imagining. ;)

I called ahead and mule order was correct. I'm just sad that they didn't trust me enough to give me chopsticks. I got a fork instead which was extremely annoying. The pad see ew was perfect, but the spring rolls were slightly greasy. :( However, I was full and the food was delicious. I'll return.

This is a small Thai shop. A Thai person runs it here. The taste is very authentic. There are not many people in the shop. The light in the room is a little dark.

Diner Review №61

Their tofu pad thai is solid. The prices and vegetarian options are great compared to nearby alternatives.

Diner Review №62

Diner Review №63

La comida es muy Deliciosa, se vive muy bien la experiencia, el precio es un poco elevado pero de vez en cuando te puedes dar ese gusto

Diner Review №64

Good food. Good price. Good service. No indoor dining due to pandemic. Either pickup or use Postmates. Definitely following COVID19 guidelines. Support local businesses. Will come back to pickup more food in the future.

Diner Review №65

The best thai food in town

Diner Review №70

This Thai food has probably been the most disgusting food I have ever eaten! It reeked like old old oil and stunk! BEWARE OF THIS PLACE!

Diner Review №71

This is our go-to local thai food spot(especially since covid!) We love this place. Food is always delicious and the staff is always very friendly. We usually order some of the following: yellow curry with chicken, green curry with tofu, pad thai, fried wontons, and mango sticky rice. It is all sooo good. I crave the fried wontons all the time. Yummmm.

Ordered delivery for my daughter, who was sick at home. The driver kept messaging that he was there and couldn’t find her. She was standing outside her front door. Driver marked order as “delivered”. She never received her food. Disappointed.

Every dish I have tried here has blown my mind a little. This is exactly the kind of unassuming, but excellent, restaurant I live for. If you’re not afraid of a fish with bones in it, you must try the crispy catfish. (You should try it even if you are afraid)

(3.5-ish) I think what makes this place and out is actually the price. It seems like reasonably priced Thai food but you're going to get only reasonably flavor in the food. It definitely doesn't taste disappointing, but you may find more interesting flavor profiles at Thai restaurants in Pasadena, San Gabriel, or other predominantly Asian areas.

Diner Review №99

Excellent food, a wide-ranging menu & very reasonable prices!

Great food and customer service!
It's a cozy and relaxing/romantic restaurant. The lights and music are soft. The place is clean and the food is delicious and fresh. Prices are really good. I had salad, rice, tereyaki beef and an egg roll for $11. It's one of my favorite restaurants. Its like a little jewel in the community. I highly recommend.

Delicious Tom yum soup.

Diner Review №145

One of the few Thai restaurant in HP that serve good food. The wait staff service is amiable and generally impeccable . The interior design/space is plain, small and banal. Now let's get into the food. They serve great (e.g., beef veggie) and affordable food/beverages. They have an A grade from the LA's Dept of Health. Overall, I highly recommend Thai Fantasy for lunch and supper.

Diner Review №146

Diner Review №149

The wait for the food is ridiculous! Saw that they had water running over some noodles under the sink on the floor. It was disgusting.

Diner Review №150

Okay Thai restaurant. Got their pineapple fried rice. Love it.

Diner Review №152

I, too, am very picky about Orange Chicken. One of the best things about Thai Fantasy is that if you have a particular way you would like your choices prepared, the chefs will do their best to meet your expectations. I REALLY DO NOT LIKE the typical orange chicken on most Asian or Fusion restaurant menus in the vast Los Angeles area. Most of what I've experienced is doughy mush balls like what you might get at a Panda Express, for example, or any of the countless strip mall buffet / fast food, barely Chinese places that exist in abundance around here. I like my orange chicken extra crispy and Thai Fantasy has yet to disappoint me. If I order vegetables in brown sauce, and I like their brown sauce even if it is a bit salty, I request that my order have very little sauce. I don't like to waste food, so I make it as clear as possible exactly what I'd enjoy and on only a very few occasions when I was "experimenting," did I get a menu item that was unsatisfying. I for one am not a fan of fish heads. They make me paranoid, like they're staring at me with that one cataract clouded eye! I say if you give a place like Thai Fantasy a fair chance, have more than one meal there before giving them a bad review. The staff, servers, and food prep chefs will extend every courtesy to make sure that everything about your meal meets your expectations. They have done so for me 99 times out of 100... and that one bad experience I had... I believe I was so drunk, unlike how I am normally, that I ordered something so far out that my digestive tract was unprepared. That night I, like others who have left reviews here, worshiped at the feet of the porcelain Buddha! I didn't blame the food, I blamed the booze and my stupidity. As for the folks who got bad meat or ill prepared food, I hope they realize that restaurants that have been in business as long as Thai Fantasy do not, and cannot put up with such customer dissatisfaction. Don't you think they'd be out of business in a heartbeat if their food was always so very bad and the service always sucked? Here's an idea, if you get something bad, that you don't like, or that might taste odd, or that smells like poop: SEND IT BACK AND GET SOMETHING ELSE! Seriously, did someone really struggle with bad meat, finding 80% of it terrible? That means they continued to sample it even though it was awful. Why? This is America where no one who can afford it should ever be dissatisfied with a meal anywhere! In conclusion, I really like this place. I'm just sad that so many seem to have had a bad experience while eating at Thai Fantasy. I'm not crying, but I could be...

Ordered garlic chicken with noodle lunch special. Service was fine and food tasted fine. Not coming back, though.

Fresh made food is awesome. The wait was worth it. I'm very picky when it comes to Orange Chicken. This was perfect. If your in the area stop in and get a bite. Nice quite place. Staff is not very friendly but the food makes up for it. I will definitely come back if I'm in the area again.
