Daisy Mint — Restaurant in Pasadena

My first time trying this place I ordered on the phone and picked up the order for my family. We ordered the Panang curry, pad see ew, and spicy eggplant. The portions were a good size and what we ordered was enough to feed 4-5 people with some leftover. When we came to pick it up, the staff was so kind to each other, laughing and joking when one of them accidentally dropped a box of rice instead of getting mad or frustrated over rice. They seemed very hardworking but enjoyed being there and their smiles never left their faces. They were very generous to us as well, giving us two free drinks (thai tea and coffee) as we waited! As soon as our food was ready, the lady informed me of the mango sticky rice that had just come back on the menu. It is one of my favorite desserts so I had to get it and they prepared it right away so I didn’t have to wait any longer. The food was satisfying and comforting. The mango sticky rice was lovely and well balanced. As delicious as the food was, I couldn’t help but appreciate the seemingly positive environment they had fostered at the restaurant and it left me feeling warm and positive the rest of the evening. I hope they always extend that positivity to all...

We ate at the restaurant and then a few days late ordered the same food for 'pick up' to eat at home. We compared the dishes we ate in the restaurant verses delivery/pick up. The food they serve when you eat in the restaurant is much better. The stir fry veggie dish in the restaurant was flavorful while the one that came in the delivery/pick up was lacking substantially in flavor, plus you get less for the same price with pick up. The curries (we ordered three - red, green, and ponang, were thinner in texture and not as flavorful. The string beans were the same. The chicken squewers were the same. The noodles had less sauce. The padThai was stuck to the container with almost no meat, and little flavor. We will not use them for evenings with friends via delivery/pick up (we meet weekly, so probably every third week we would have ordered from them), but we will come in to eat (probably once a...

My nephew and I ate here a couple of weeks ago and we both found the food and service amazing! I've been to Thailand a couple of times and have eaten some really good Thai food. I would place Daisy Mint right up there. Not sure which we liked best, the Honey Pork or the Crying Tiger and they offer sticky rice. Only the best Thai restaurants do. This place is not decorated as you would predict a Thai restaurant to be and I love how eclectic and comfortable it is. It's small but the seating is arranged well so as to offer many options. You will get wonderful service, no matter how busy it gets. I must warn you about the Red Velvet cake they serve. The most amazing cake I've ever put in my mouth and they have the best ever Carrot Cake. Not your typical Thai desserts but in keeping with the comfortable charm of this restaurant We're going back next week. Yummmmm. What will...
