Kwan Kitchen in Pasadena

New thai restaurant popped up in the Pasadena area. Its 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 its still very tasty.

Great Thai food! A modern, clean, bright and airy environment. The staff were so lovely and friendly. Loved the Kao Man Gai (Thai steamed chicken and garlic rice). I love how there are lots of simple authentic lunch dishes you would find in Thailand. Some of the best dishes in my opinion.Kao Man Gai is a common dish that you’ll find in Thailand and it’s slightly different from Hainanese chicken rice, so please give it a try!

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.

This is a new place thats only been open for a few weeks. The place look very neat, nice and very simple inside the restaurant.I ordered takeout and June is the one who took my orders. She is very helpful and cheerful too. I ordered the Pad Thai Crispy Pork, Beef Pad See Ew, Thai Basil Spicy Pork, Crab Fried Rice and Chicken Wings. And Thai Tea, of course, who would not order a Thai Tea eating at a Thai restaurant. 😄The Chicken Wings are moist inside and crispy on the outside. No breading on the chicken and the taste is very good. It comes with sweet spicy sauce.The Pad Thai is cooked al dente, which is perfect for me. It tasted like an authentic PadThai where the hint of tamarind, lime and palm sugar are a melody to your tongue. And they are not skimpy on the shrimp and crispy pork.The Beef Pad See Ew is cooked soft and not salty at all. The beef is tender and the sauce is very good. Broccoli are crispy and not overcooked.The Basil Spicy Pork comes with a cup of rice and fried egg on top. I ordered less spicy but it is so good that I wish I ordered regular spicy.The Crab Fried Rice came with chunks of crabs. And the fried egg was scrambled in a way you can see the egg whites. It is very flavorful.Next time I come visit this place, I would order their Panang Beef. They ran out of Hainan chicken when I was placing my order but that will be for the next visit.

Its 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 dont 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 dont change the flavors.... Thank you

I had the kra pow, the kow mun kai, and the kow pad here. They are all authentically flavorful, but the star is the kow pad with pork. It has that “wok” taste that cannot be found at any other Thai restaurants in Pasadena. It’s served with a slice of lime and fish sauce, a clear sign of authenticity. Try it and you may not have fried rice anywhere else.Two feedback I’d like to see: 1) perhaps increase the portion by 10-15% and 2) tippjng suggestions should be based on a pre-tax amount.

I live about 10 min from this newly opened restaurant, saw it under construction and was curious what it would be. Happy its a Thai spot! Stopped for takeout tonight, and it was a solid choice. The menu isnt 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!

Super friendly staff, no non-sense menu, food tastes genuinely Thai and not watered down like most Pasadena Thai restaurants. Hollywood Thai town taste and quality here. Hope it stays that way!

Food great! Nice decor. Waitress is very friendly. Definitely recommend this place. There’s also a parking lot at the front.

A really good place to enjoy great meals :)
