The staff welcomed us right away and provided a QR code for the menu. We ordered the pad kee mao, papaya salad, and fried fish cake appetizers to share, as we were eager to try the highly praised dishes. However, we were disappointed as the flavors did not meet our expectations. The fish cakes were less plump compared to others I've had, although their dipping sauce was quite tasty. Unfortunately, the papaya salad and pad kee mao also lacked the bold, spicy, and delicious Thai flavors we had anticipated.

My top choices are the spicy basil chicken with an added fried egg and the spicy eggplant tofu with additional chicken, but I've enjoyed everything I've tried there. They cook with real woks, which gives the food that delicious smoky, caramelized wok hei flavor. If you like spicy food, don't hesitate to request it hotter, but be warned that the Thai hot level is quite intense. The service is friendly and quick. I recommend sitting indoors to admire the artwork inspired by Bangkok and its street vendors—it's definitely worth checking out!

I just ordered today at 630pm. The garlic soy chicken wings I ordered were under cooked and one had blood oozing out.Too much money being spent for miss ups like this. Do not ever eat here again because I won't

Here are the disappointing areas in this Chin: 1. Portion is very small to nearby nine Nine, Saladang and other Thairestaurants with almost same price and quality. Especially beef salad . More lettuce in beef salad than meat . 2. Low qualityshrimp in the soup which tastes and textures like rubber. 3. Beef soup and Tom yum soup taste has too much sugar whichdisappeared the authentic Thai soup taste . Authenticity is lost. Pls check these this restaurant Isaan Station Thai in KoreaTown , Ruen Pair , and Pad Ord in Hollywood. Both Asian and American eaters are lining up to dine in daily . I?d like torequest to upgrade to authentic Thai Street food because your restaurant will be Stand out as the most authentic Thai restaurantin Pasadena. 4. Easter Sausage quantity is very less with that price . Presentation , location and hotpot is good. I am notdiscriminating on gender but make servers are friendlier than female server . We like to see happier faces. Best
