LA｜A Delicious Blind Pick for Thai Food in Pasadena – Pearl Thai 🥘

📍 Pearl Thai Eatery 💰 About $25 per person (after tax — we weren’t too hungry, so just ordered two dishes) We were in a hurry before an evening event, so my friend and I randomly chose Pearl Thai in Old Pasadena — and it turned out to be a great pick! No disappointments — tasty, affordable, and the server was super friendly. Shoutout to my friend — truly a restaurant-selecting genius, talent level maxed out 💫 🥘 Summer Roll A classic Thai appetizer — fresh veggies wrapped in rice paper, perfect for summer and a great vitamin boost! Comes with six pieces, generous enough to share. A bit pricier compared to rolls with shrimp or meat, but only by a few dollars. 🥘 Tom Yum Soup – Seafood You can also choose chicken or shrimp. We got the large size, just right for two. Flavor was tangy and spicy — really appetizing 🤤 My friend noted that this version was well-balanced, unlike a certain Tommy Thai in the Bay Area where the soup was too sweet 😅. 💰 Cash payment gets you an 8% discount — a good reason to keep some cash on hand in the US! *Pearl Thai Eatery is in Old Pasadena — clean and safe area, nice for a post-meal stroll. Besides Cha Redefine for boba and 21 Choices for fro-yo, right next door is Tibet Nepal House Restaurant (highly recommended by many), which always looks busy — could be fun to try something new! #LAThaiFood #LAFood #LAFoodGuide #Pasadena #PasadenaEats #LAThaiCuisine #BayAreaFood
