Tantawan Thai Kitchen — Restaurant in Rosemead

I drove by and saw this place and decided to walk in and try the food .A Nice man around 50 yrs old seems to be the owner welcomes me, two waitress standing just looked at me as if they were confused for some reason. The Nice man politely tells me to grab a table and says they will be with me shortly. I go and pick A table...as im wating for the menu a younger looking waitres brings it to me, As she was aproching my table I gave a friendly smiled and i say hi to her ,I get no respnse from her no greetings or anything, she has a look in her eyes as if she doesn't care, she comes and just slides and throws the menu on my table without saying anything and just walks away, she didnt even introduce her self or asks me if i wanted something to drink, i got a bad vibe from her , so i thought if her attitude is that bad i can only imagine the food and service would be bad too, So i decided to save me the trouble of getting bad service and possibly getting bad food . I get up immediately from my table and just walked out of the restaurant. With hundreds of other thai restaurants i got on my phone and i found this really good Thai restaurant in El Monte on valley called Thai Excellente , the food is delicious, two older ladys cooking and their...

You know what is a delicious supper? An authentic Thai cuisine. So without further ado let’s begin this exciting food review.

Tantawan Thai Kitchen is a large thai restaurant that offer a variety of Thai cuisine. It’s located in a large plaza in Garvey avenue in Rosemead. They have one other location in West Covina. We came here as a first time customer and dined-in for dinner. We were warmly greeted by a female host and ww as seated to table number #6.

They have QR Menu on the table for easy access. We decided to order a thai iced tea, pad woon sen (thin glass noodles stir fry), and veggie egg rolls. The Thai stir-fried noodle dish made with glass noodles, egg, veggies tossed in a savory and slightly sweet pad woon sen sauce was warm, moist, tasty and very flavorful. Similarly, those veggie rolls were warm, crunchy and delicious especially when dipped in chilly sweet sauce. Thai iced tea was refreshing and not too sweet.

Service was fast and on point. Staff were assiduous, amiable and followed health protocol. Prices seem fair. Finding a parking spot was effortless. Overall, we enjoyed our authentic Thai supper and I...

What We Ordered Tom Yum Noodle Soup (Medium) Yellow Curry with Chicken (Medium) Southern Curry Noodle Mango Sticky Rice Thai Tea

My mom's yellow curry was delicious! Not overly coconut-y and the spice is more of a back burner tingle. I might want to try spicy next time for the curry! Rice is NOT included in this dish. I believe it is $2 for a small portion.

Their Tom Yum Noodle Soup is probably the best I've had in a long time. Their packaging makes eating easier. The soup and noodles are stacked on plastic tiers making it easy to combine everything together and eat straight out of the containers. Most places use the tall plastic containers for soup which cannot be turned into a bowl. Their medium is fire for the Tom Yum! They don't downplay the spice like most Thai places. I love not having to add extra chili/spice to my dish.

Came back a week later to try their Southern Curry Noodle and Mango Sticky Rice. They were okay. Mango sticky rice and thai tea were too sweet for my liking. I forgot to order medium spicy for my Southern Curry Noodle so that might be what was lacking for me? Will be back to try their...
