🇺🇸 President Thai | Must-Try Thai Cuisine in Pasadena 🍛✨

This long-established restaurant, certified by Thai Select, was founded in 1994. With its elegant decor, soothing music, and curated artwork, the ambiance truly captures the essence of Thailand. 🇹🇭✨ Visited with friends this time — though the space isn’t huge, the seating is comfortable and the interior is full of character. They even sing birthday songs for guests celebrating 🎂🎶, and we happened to catch two celebrations during our meal! Food Highlights 🍴 🍲 Jumbo Shrimp Coconut Soup A tangy and spicy coconut broth that’s perfect for whetting the appetite 🥥🌶️ Packed with large, fresh shrimp 🦐 — generous and satisfying. The staff even reheats the soup at the table to keep it warm — so thoughtful! 👏🏻 🍳 Crab Fried Rice The portion is huge! 🦀 Generous amounts of crab meat, and the rice is light and not greasy — very refreshing. Enough to fill two people to the brim — great for sharing with a group! 🍛 Roasted Duck Red Curry Rich and aromatic red curry with tomatoes, bell peppers, pineapple, and basil. Perfect with rice 🍚 — the pineapple 🍍 adds a sweet-tangy twist that balances the spiciness. Only downside: the duck was cut into small pieces, and the portion wasn’t very large. Final Thoughts 🌟 Great food, generous portions, and attentive service ✅ Definitely worth recommending! 👍🏻 🇹🇭 President Thai 📍 498 S Rosemead Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91107, United States #LALife #SoCal #ThaiFood #LocalEats #LAFoodGuide #100RestaurantChallenge #LAEats #LADining #GlobalFoodReview #HiddenGemSpotlight
