Thai Nary BBQ — Restaurant in Azusa

Swinging by to pick up some to go order in the evening, the sign was unlit or pitch dark, even naked eyes could miss this place as much as the very blind from up close, it was telling what ensued. I noticed barely a few customers dispersed in the dining area. The server at the counter hinted he would tend to my order right away, then advised it might take 5 minutes to fill it. Way more than those minutes passed, I checked again, he uttered oops and started rambling that the kitchen missed or forgot one of my items, trying to mislead they had made any, if at all, topping it off by mentioning I could file a complaint online, I was puzzled if that was admitting guilt or an empty dare. While I got caught off guard by his make shift antics or poorly rehearsed gibberish, another customer shared she had waited for 20 some minutes already. I looked at the mountain-high of to-go orders piling behind the counter, not surprised they scrambled to deal with the built-up pipeline, an indication of short handed or poor work flow! Although I did turn around and walk out, would care less to file any complaint than getting my food timely and out of there in no time. Nonetheless, here is for the record, watching out for what...

I have been a patron of Thai Nary BBQ for years, as her homemade Thai Food is the best traditional Thai eats this side of Thai Town!

This cozy little eatery is located at 459 South Azusa Ave, just North of Gladstone.

Today, I ordered the Pad see ew, which is my favorite Thai dish.

Nary makes her own spices and also mixes them with others for a home recipe.

The noodles were perfect with her secret seasoning that made the chicken a scrupulous treat.

The plate was mixed with a generous serving of cooked carrots and broccoli, and it was so good I just couldn't eat it fast enough.

I was served promptly and was amazed of how fast I got my meal.

But that's not all!

Thai Nary BBQ has many favorite traditional Thai dishes, like Panang curry with rice, Shrimp Tempura or Papaya Salad.

Her Thai Coffee is simply the greatest, and I ordered two glasses with my visit.

I love coming here because I step out of California right into Thailand!

A clean dining experience, and perfect for your first date!

Thai Nary BBQ, dine in...

There is something special and welcoming about small dining establishments run by families. Not only is Thai Nary restaurant cozy and welcoming, the staff/owners treat every customer with dignity and respect.

While the food might not be on par with competitive, larger Thai restaurants, from the Thai Village area of Los Angeles, off the 101 freeway, exiting Hollywood Blvd., it is still tasty and flavorful.

Personally, I'm a big fan of Thai food prepared with fiery spicyness but I understand full well that the owner and the chef of this small Thai restaurant prefer a more balanced approach to their food preparation and I'm okay with that.

I'm just happy and appreciative of having a decent Thai restaurant in the Lower Azusa area that satisfies my Thai food cravings , without having to make a nightmarish journey all the way to Hollywood's Thai Village.

I like their Pad Thai and Prik King with pork when...
