Dean Noodles — Restaurant in La Puente

The food was average at best and way overpriced. The guy on the phone and the dude in the purple shirt needs to learn how to talk to customers. Looking at the rest of the reviews, it sounds like he is the owner, who has a history of having attitude problems.

He was extremely rude and his attitude was off putting. I will not be returning. If I am coming here to give you business at least treat me like a human being.

I called to place my order. He was being short with me to begin with, and having an outdated online menu, I had to call back to give them a complete order. He told me 45min. I showed up just on time and was told to wait another 15min.

It was Mother's day and the restaurant was almost empty. I guess that tells you what you need to know about the quality of this place. I went to the back of the restaurant where no one was eating or sitting to check out picture frames on the wall. The owner rudely tells me to get out. I was confused as to what caused him to talk to me like that, so I just went to the front of the restaurant to continue waiting.

Don't come here. You can find better Thai food for better pricing less than a mile down Colima, and you won't have to deal with any lip.

Edit to business owner: Please post all the evidence you have. All I am seeing is lies and exaggeration on your end. The reviews speak for themselves. Clearly you don’t know how to deal with customers. You have serious attitude problems going back a long long...

Would easily be 5-star rated if this restaurant is located in Burbank, Fullerton, or Torrance instead. But not in Rowland Heights where there are many Chinese restaurants and others to go to for less money with better quality and value. Competition is really fierce in this area, and I think this place will go out of business soon. This place is also getting fewer customers now than before it first opened, so they may be doing something wrong without noticing yet.

We ordered Drunken Noodle and Pad See Ew, but they put in too many vegetables inside and too few noodles, so the food ends up with the not so authentic Thai taste, maybe cooked in error, and the price doesn't worth it. Would like a refund credit or retry, if accepted. My understanding is the kitchen only puts in a small 1-2 cut block of big flat rice noodle in each plate, but other Thai or Chinese restaurants usually put in 3-4, or half bag.

Only credit here is the Thai Iced Tea for $1.50 with entree, but no free refill. Nearby, there are the more-popular Hong Kong Cafe style restaurants with lemon tea or milk tea for $1.50 also with free refill too. I guess the smart diners know for a while where to go to, and...

This easy to miss hidden gem exists inside of 168 Market. I would not have discovered it had I not searched for Thai food on Yelp. I usually order a Pad Thai any time I try a new Thai restaurant and the quality and taste of it here is definitely among the best. The noodles had a good texture without being soggy at all, while the flavor was good enough where I only needed a bit of lime to perfect it. The portion was generous and made even better by the recent addition of tofu and dried shrimp. How's that for staying on top of the game? For those concerned about eating MSG, none of that is used here!

Customer service is top notch and the owner was friendly; he threw in a free Thai iced tea to my surprise. I can't complain about the somewhat long wait as it's just him and one other chef who runs the place. The restaurant does its best to stand out from the blandness of the grocery store with things like led string lights, table lamps, and stylish picture frames. Pictures of menu items are also scattered sparingly...
