Patakan Thai Restaurant

I was apprehensive to order food because of the negative reviews I read on here. But, all the food I ordered via delivery was good. Not the best Thai I’ve had but good. My favorite was the pineapple fried rice. I will definitely return and try their lunch specials.

This was a horrible experience. I just moved to South Pasadena and I was in the mood for Thai food and this place seemed good. I asked for the crab cake roll appetizer and was told it was good. It was disgusting and cold when I opened the container. Not even microwaving it helped. Didn’t taste anything like a crab cake.
For an entrée I ordered the beef broccoli Pad see eww because the lady suggested it and it was ok but I was given no utensils to eat with and no sauce which I asked for. Oh and did I mention how sick I felt afterwards!!! ugh.
In all I will NEVER eat there again and I will encourage others to do the same.

³¹⁄₂ stars really… Ordered delivery tonight because I needed some soup — nothing better for a cold really. Anyway, food is decent. I enjoyed the Tom Kha soup. It was a little more spicy than I’m used to getting in most Thai restaurants. Other than that, I’m happy with the taste. Had their Pad Thai and I have to say, it was really good. Not dry like some places, which is why I stopped ordering that dish. Glad I decided to get it again. I was a happy camper. Would order from here again. Always nice to have local thai delivery.

ate at this place for the second time since we liked it on our first try. the food is ok and the environment is quiet and pretty homey. what stops me though from giving 4 stars is a patronizing server who gave us our check even while we were still eating. pretty rude (with a matching fake smile) given the fact that the place wasn’t even half full. a lot of tables around.

This was my first time back since they were on Green Street more than 10 years ago and it did not disappoint! My daughter and I had the lunch special that included: Salad (very fresh with a light peanut dressing), Soup (veggie and flavorful broth) and a choice of one of the 10 lunch entrée items.
Chicken Satay– Got a 5 star by my daughter (10yr old), who loved the juicy and flavorful chicken and yummy veggie wontons.
Chicken Pai Thai– was light, sweet but spicy and perfectly cooked, all white meat. Huge portions, we’ll have lunch for tomorrow!
Service is fast, friendly and we will definitely be coming back more often.

Clean, attentive services, friendly. Recommended from native Thai foodie!
We had a group of 7 people and orders many dishes. .which is start of crab roll ! Hands down delicious comes with 9 pieces to share. Padthai was amazing flavor, grilled pork collar good, don’t get intimation with the name the meat was tenders good dish. Mee Kopp was okay for me co. pare to the one I had in Thailand. Then ordered Panjang beef curry was yummy. Tom ka Kai was good .end with A Banana rolls with vanilla ice cream delicious! ! You won’t need disappointed. Enjoy :)

Stale, tasteless and lacking any substance worth paying for let alone waiting for. Ordered take out from this place around lunch time on a weekday. Had the spicy fried rice, shrimp pad Thai and bbq pork bun. Wish I ate my own hand instead.
To their defense, the delivery was prompt, although they live 2 minutes away from me. When we received the food, there were no utensils, no napkins, and none of the extra condiments we had asked for.
Spicy fried rice was quite tasteless, not at all spicy. Not much chicken and moderate sized quantity. Pad Thai was the worst I’ve ever had. The noodles were quite dry, and the flavor profile was really off. The shrimp was overcooked as well. The bbq pork bun was probably the worst decision I’ve made in the past 6 months. It was hard as a rock and I felt like it had been sitting on a shelf for a year.
There are so many Thai restaurants in the area I really do not know how this place is still in business. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Not only was the food horrible, but the service was bad as well. How can you deliver food without condiments asked for let alone basic utensils or napkins. Reevaluate the business or go bankrupt. Seriously.

EAT 24 is what i used for my delivery tonight. Food was just ok. Didn’t taste much of a thai flavor as it was on the sweet side. I do not like my food sweet at all. Beef salad was sweet when i thought it would be sour. Tom Yum was also sweet. Thank goodness i had some lemon to make it somewhat better. 1^st time ordering and not sure if I will order again. However, delivery was quick.

Food is good, but service recently has been awful. Over 45 minute wait for our orders on two consecutive visits… so if you’re looking to stretch a date, this is your place, but otherwise I can’t recommend a visit until they figure out how to reduce wait times.

This place is close to home, so very convenient. But there’s so many good cheap Thai places to eat near here that I really don’t want to waste time or money here. Portions small and expensive. It’s the only Thai place I’ve ever been that doesn’t have large pots of soup.

Went here for dinner recently. Was served right away. I ordered the egg roll appetizer which was ok. The veggies were a bit overcooked so they were a bit in the mushy side. I feel the service is a highlight of this restaurant. Maybe I will try and give this place another shot sometime in the future.

Hello my Unilocalies,
Came here for the first time since it is right next to my boyfriends house and we are getting a little tired of eating sushi everyday haha (well just him lol) Parking here is decent, they have many parking spaces right in the front since this restaurant is located in a plaza on Fairoaks.
I order the Chicken Basil with Rice (Extra Spicy), If you know me you know how much I love spicy food. I love how they have a choice of brown or white rice, since the food is already extremely oily I definitely have to eat it with brown rice. We actually got it to-​go and I was pretty happy with what I got. The chicken was decent, green bean was well cooked but I do wish that they could have diced the green beans so it will be a lot easier to chew. It is on the salty side so you definitely need to eat it with a cup of water. I am pretty strict when it comes to Thai food since I’ve lived in Thailand for quite some times so definitely have a pretty high standards. This place of course can’t compare to «Hoy Ka» in Hollywood but it definitely wasn’t a disappointment.
I love their service, the waitresses were extremely friendly, telling me what she likes to eat the most in the restaurant and what she recommend that most people get. I would have to say this place is definitely on the pricey side, so if you don’t want to pay at least $ 10-​$ 14 per person than this place is not for you. I really appreciate their wonderful service, thank you for bring out my to-​go food to my car when it was done. I was a little disappointed that I didn’t get to try their Shrimp cake, unfortunately they didn’t have the ingredients for that yesterday but I will come by next time to give it a shot.
Overall, service 5 stars, food 3 stars, environment and decoration 3 stars, convenience 5 stars and 4 stars for atmosphere. Thank you for the wonderful service.

They make amazing salad rolls. I asked for them arranged nicely in appetizer fashion for a conference and they didn’t disappoint. Wonderful, fresh, tasty. Need I say more?

Pad si u! I love the prices here, the lunch special is definitely worth it. Entry, side and soup! But soups are not for the to-​go orders. Its nice because its nearby my job. The food is good, but I had better but the price is worth it. Less than $ 10 for lunch and Thai Tea and free delivery! Pretty awesome
My co-​worker did not like the curry though.

Movie night at home with the fam and was craving take-​out Thai food. Haven’t tried any in this area and based upon proximity, Patakan «won.»
Used Unilocal’s Eat24 for the first time. Totally easy to use to place order. Plus, restaurant called immediately to double check one of the items and told me it would be ready in 15 minutes.
Located in a strip mall with a parking lot easy to navigate. There’s seating inside & outside, but I was just picking up. My order was all wrapped up and ready to go. Nice!
Food:
Pad Thai Noodle-​Average, but will give you your noodle fix.
Sa-​Tay-​Good. Chicken was tasty & peanut sauce was good, too.
Pa-​Nang Curry-​Bland & more like soup.
Spicy Fried Rice-​Good. I liked the spiciness of this.
Overall, very convenient and easy for take-​out night.

YUM! Ordered delivery last night (based on all the great Unilocal reviews — thank you!!) and it was DELICIOUS. We played it safe with our ordering (children were involved) but we loved the chicken curry, potstickers, veggies, rice, and satay! We’ll be back for sure!

This is a wonderful restaurant. The menu standard Thai restaurant food and has always been of excellent quality. Myselk, or dining partner have various appetizers, salads, noodle dishes, curries and seafood specialties. They have all been flavorful and attractively served.
The wait staff are friendly and attentive without hovering.
This is my go to place for Thai food.

Ordered take out from here.
Had the pad see eww with shrimp and beef, yellow curry and green papaya salad. Overall the food was OK. The pad see eww was dry, the green papaya salad was not spicy and lacking flavor. The yellow curry was not spicy, which is fine, but the curry sauce was really watery.
Overall it was not good. I didn’t even take pictures of it! If you have not had good Thai food before then this may suffice. But don’t get too excited if you are a Thai food aficionado.
On the up side, I ordered through the «Eat24» app which was great. The restaurant called to check a couple of things and the food came well before the expected delivery time which was brilliant!

Lunch for two? No water given or placemat. Customer service sucks! Waitress hasn’t came to us since they brought our food until we are finished asked if we’re okay with the bill already. Other than customer complaint, the food wasn’t bad.

This is a convenient and affordable spot for lunch, especially since you can order online! I’m a fan of the Pad See Ew which is always nicely cooked and seasoned.
