Very good food and service is good. Food tastes authentic but a bit on the pricey side although well worth it because of the portion size. Would recommend this place if you crave Thai.

Hands down the best Pad Thai - I don't say that lightly! Also, the fried cat fish is one of the best in Pasadena. I highly recommend the lunch specials.
