Thara 8 thai cuisine

Cozy little Thai restaurant that offers lots of authentic and delicious dishes. The flavor and presentation are top notch, with decent portions and good value. The interior is very small with limited seating, but a nice and quiet ambiance. The staff are very friendly.

I miss this place. This place was originally in Pasadena, and I guess I have to make the trip to get my favorite ribs. Yes, this Thai restaurant has freaking awesome ribs. The ribs are soft and taste so homely. You have to eat it with rice or it can be salty. We also ordered their new item on the menu, the Crispy Pork with Chinese Broccoli. It was good, but I'll be back for the ribs. My husband loves their Pad See Eww because they were not too sweet. Truly authentic way. This place is his #1. They're known for their golden bags. Their tagline should be "Home of the Original Pasadena Golden Bag". A must have too. And get their fried banana. I love their fried banana.

The store is very small with very few seats. Luckily, they were not busy so we got seats without a wait. We ordered the Golden Bags (8.95), Pad Thai (13.95), Red Curry Chicken (13.95), and Boat Noodle Soup (15.95). The pad thai ans curry chicken were lunch specials so the portion was a bit small. All of the dishes were served in take out disposable containers and utensils were disposable as well. First time seeing this happening at a sit down restaurant. The Boat Noodle and Red Curry are both spicy but the boat noodle was spicier than the curry. All of the dishes tasted pretty average, not very great or bad. It is like fast food version of thai food. The portions are also small. My only favorite was the Golden Bags because they were fried just right and seasoned well. The service was ok

I ordered the beef and Chinese broccoli in oyster sauce. The portion sizes are for 2 people so the cost is reasonable. Unfortunately, the oyster sauce was very watery. The food tasted very bland bc of this. They need to cook the food in more oyster sauce which would really help the flavor. Probably won't return. Restaurant was clean and the service lady friendly.

Thara 8 Thai Cuisine is a delightful new addition to Arcadia's dining scene, offering an authentic and refreshing take on Thai food. As someone with Thai heritage who has visited Thailand numerous times, I can confidently say this restaurant stands out for its genuine flavors that feel much closer to what you'd find in Thailand, rather than the often overly Americanized versions served elsewhere. In addition, they are fairly priced and give generous portions. The space is small, cozy, and modern, primarily catering to takeout but also providing limited seating for quick and casual dining. It's perfect for grabbing a flavorful meal to-go or enjoying a relaxed bite in a welcoming atmosphere. I have only tried a handful of their dishes so far, but here is what I think on some of them: * La
