Thai Original BBQ & Restaurant — Restaurant in West Covina

The food here is always great. Whatever you order, you'll like it. We typically order the House Special dinners: entree plus fried rice. All specials come with shrimp fried rice but, due to allergies, we upgrade to whatever different flavor fried rice we want. There is an upcharge for it and extra time to prepare. It's all worth it.

The staff here is extremely friendly, professional, and attentive. Your water glass is always filled and they check on you at appropriate frequencies.

I recommend the Bbq chicken combo, beef satay combo, or spare ribs combo. The garlic short ribs entree is also delicious, as well as the coconut milk chicken mushroom soup.

The only reason why I'm not giving this location 5 stars is the facility itself. They have been in this location for as long as I can remember (~30 years). The building definitely needs some upkeep. The restroom is clean but you can smell the mold and see the necessary update everywhere. But, the staff do their best to make sure everything is clean...

Is this ketchup in the fried rice???? This place serves “thai” food for westerners. And it’s low key mid even for thai food that’s inauthentic (I won’t call it bad, cuz some ppl might prefer it this way, but… well…).

Chicken satay is dry Altho flavor is ok (4/10)

Angel wings are like 2/10. Batter doesn’t work with the chicken, chicken is SUPER dry and the stuffing is too basic to be good. Super disappointed.

What’s most telling is the pad see ew. It’s bland, under cooked (except for the meat - over cooked and tastes like old leather), and gross. If you’re a Thai restaurant, you gotta have a decent pad see ew - that’s like the easiest thing out there. (1/100)

And the shrimp fried rice… I guess if you stick 2 pieces of shrimp on anything it makes it a shrimp dish. Doesn’t make it good tho.

Sigh. I’ll try it one more time. But for now… Just go...

Apparently my family and I have been coming here since the early 90s! We have been going to this place for so long that we know the owner and the old and new wait staff..lol We went there again this past weekend, and it has been almost a year since I personally have been here. The staff is friendly and quick to respond to any request. One of the cashier even played with my adorable niece when it was slow. The food here is great and is priced reasonably. The shrimp fried rice, Rad Nar, S1 combo, and Chicken Noodle, Dearest Crab, and Masamun Curry and Panang Curry are all family favorites! Oh and the Fried Banana with ice cream is DEEElish! The cucmber salad side dish they make is also sweet and tangy. I most definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants some...
