Delicious & Affordable Thai Gem š¹š Right Here in Pasadena!!!
Hey everyone! š„° Iām your foodie guide Coriander, dedicated to exploring the best eats across LA! After some serious hunting around the SGV area, I discovered a highly-rated Thai spotāboasting a solid 4.8 stars on Google Reviews! Iāve got a real talent for finding hidden gems, if I do say so myself šš« *All reviews are based on personal taste. ā ļø No sponsorships or promotions here! ā ļø š½ļø What We Ordered: ā Kwanās Pad Thai So generousāI was full halfway through! Perfect for saving the rest for later š Loaded with crispy pork, bouncy shrimp, tiny tofu cubes, peanuts, and bean sprouts. So tasty, Iād order it again in a heartbeat! š PS: Nut-allergy friends can ask for no peanuts! ā Mama Hot Pot One bite and youāre transported to the streets of Bangkok! š Especially refreshing during hot weatherāthis savory-sour mama noodle soup really wakes up your appetite š Packed with crispy pork, shrimp, squid, ground pork, and noodles. ā Yellow Curry Heard their curry is super fragrantāso we went with the chicken curry! š Comes with soft potato chunks. The leftover sauce is great to take homeāimagine tossing it with noodles⦠so flavorful! ā Mango Sticky Rice A classic Thai dessert I always order š„ The mango was juicy, sweet, and cut into thick slices. Pair it with warm sticky riceāeach bite feels heavenly! š ā Crying Tiger + Yum Salmon Pretty standardānot outstanding, but not bad either. You can probably skip these and try other highlights! š š¬ My Take: The restaurant is cozy and often busy! Clean and tidy inside š Itās clear people love this placeāafter all, it has a 4.8 rating! Lots of regulars, and the staff and owner are super warm and welcoming. Overall, the food is greatāIāll definitely be back for that Pad Thai! 𤣠š Kwan Kitchen 777 S Arroyo Pkwy Unit 101, Pasadena, CA 91105 š£ Seeing this = Fewer detours!
