Pacific Rim — Restaurant in Lawndale

Five Stars All Around! Here's why...

I've tried five other Thai spots within the local area, yes five don't judge my crazy cravings, all varying in prices and this place still holds as my favorite. I always order the same Pad Thai ($9.99 or $8.99 during lunch hours 11am-2.30pm Mon-Fri) and Thai Iced Tea ($2.75 Small, $3.75 Large), whether due to lack of creativity on my part or just because it's consistently delicious. Their Pad Thai is beautifully balanced with sweet and savory flavor, not too much sauce and the chicken (choice of protien: beef, chicken or shrimp which vary in price) is always cooked perfectly and never dry. The Thai Iced Tea is well balanced with the right amount of sweetness and creaminess. Even the pricier spots elsewhere don't match the tastiness of this restaurant. I've had anywhere from too greasy too lackluster dry at other restaurants, but not here! I've truly lucked out finding a Thai restaurant that delivers in flavor in both the Pad Thai and Thai Iced Tea!

Another contribution to this awesome, local spot is the consistently friendly service. From the moment you call your order in to the moment you leave the restaurant, all of the staff are very accommodating. The restaurant is super clean and has convenient, shared parking with CVS so as to avoid the frustration of finding parking while you're hangry. My only wish is that they offered delivery via Yelp for those crazy, hectic nights that I can't organize my life to get to the restaurant. I'm sure the other delivery sites offer that though.

Great tasting food, delicious drinks and amazing service...you've got my...

We are Thai food fanatics and have tried many places in SoCal. This is the place we come back to over & over again, not only because of the delicious food but because of the superb and friendly customer service. Spotless restaurant, easy parking, fast turnaround (we place our order by phone and it’s always ready by the time we get there), reasonable prices (most dishes are around $11-13), good-sized portions, FULL of flavor, and spicy ACTUALLY means spicy here.

The beef pad see ew - order it spicy - is a must try if you are looking for something on the sweeter side. I’ve recommended this dish to many friends and neighbors and it is always a hit. Seafood pad kee mao is another favorite of mine, as is spicy fried rice with chicken. The latter is made with a delicious sauce and lots of basil, and the chicken can be made as crispy as you want. The sweet family who owns this restaurant cooks great, authentic food and is always happy to customize to our specifications (eg: less veggies, or extra noodles for a slight surcharge). I’ve never tried anything I didn’t like here, although there are so many items I haven’t gotten to because I keep coming back to the three mentioned above.

Again, we’ve eaten at many Thai places and they simply do not compare to Pacific Rim. I’m embarrassed to admit that over the years they’ve come to know our phone number and order by heart, but this speaks volumes to just how amazing their...

I went there late at night (they were about to close).. Ordered a ginger dish probably done in a big wok. Chose beef. It was very tasty, and for a cheap price (around 11 bucks). If I was to complain about something, it’s that it wasn’t large enough. But I wanted more, mainly because it tasted really good. This option is kind of hidden inside the menu. I am sure they have more popular dishes which tastes just as great! Also, very nice service

Edit: I have returned a couple of times. I am not sure what it is that attracts me to this place.. But if I was to say only one thing, It’s probably the family vibe that they have here. You go to Pacific Rim and the feeling is almost as you are going to eat in your second house. On the food. I had great experiences and not so great ones. I loved their coconut and their flat rice noodles with beef (forgot the name but the salty one not sweet..). Also, they serve a delicious won ton soup. I would pass on the bbq chicken though or their fried rice. Nothing special there..

In conclusion, probably a 4 for the food but I am keeping it a 5 for the kind spirit of the staff and awesome environment that males you...
