Kwan Kitchen 777 South Arroyo Parkway, Pasadena, CA 91105

"New thai restaurant popped up in the Pasadena area. It's a small neighborhood Thai restaurant. Came here for a late lunch. The server was very friendly w lots of smiles. Food came out promptly. Tom yum soup was delicious! Nicely flavored with plump shrimp! Crab fried rice was tasty. I think it needed a tad more seasoning, but it's still very tasty."

"It's about time that we here in Pasadena get some good, quality, flavorful Thai food. Tired of driving to Thai town or further to Venice Blvd. Very nice people and cudos to the chef, please don't change the flavor as everyone starts flocking to your place. Pricing is also nice. My favorite food is Thai. You guys are going to do well and please don't change the flavors.... Thank you"

"I live about 10 min from this newly opened restaurant, saw it under construction and was curious what it would be. Happy it's a Thai spot! Stopped for takeout tonight, and it was a solid choice. The menu isn't as extensive as some other Thai spots I frequent (a few in Thai Town, Saladang Garden in Pasadena), but they have all the popular dishes- curries, soups, seafood, rice, and noodle dishes. I ordered Krapow (spicy basil w/ground beef, egg, rice) and Massaman curry. The flavors were on point. The Krakow was moist and full of basil flavor. Egg cooked perfectly. The Massaman...was exceptionally delicious. I was surprised, it had more a complex and subtle flavor than the same curry at other places. Interior is designed very modern and clean. Lighting might be a tad too bright but looks super comfortable for dine in. Reasonably priced, in line with other Thai restaurants. Staff was friendly and helpful. Only the first visit- but seems like food from a grandmas (or grandpas) kitchen. I will be back!"

"Nice spot, very friendly staff and delicious food. Worth the drive! I recommend the pad thai or any of the curry dishes. Also, the egg rolls were some of the best I’ve had in the area."
