Ordered takeout. Got the pad see ew, combination fried rice, tom yum seafood soup, and egg rolls. The soup was excellent. The rice and pad see ew were good. I liked how aromatic all the dishes were. Tasted fresh and not pumped with msg. The containers were filled up so good value. Got leftover for tomorrow.

I went there late at night (they were about to close).. Ordered a ginger dish probably done in a big wok. Chose beef. It was very tasty, and for a cheap price (around 11 bucks). If I was to complain about something, it’s that it wasn’t large enough. But I wanted more, mainly because it tasted really good. This option is kind of hidden inside the menu. I am sure they have more popular dishes which tastes just as great! Also, very nice service Edit: I have returned a couple of times. I am not sure what it is that attracts me to this place.. But if I was to say only one thing, It’s probably the family vibe that they have here. You go to Pacific Rim and the feeling is almost as you are going to eat in your second house. On the food. I had great experiences and not so great ones. I loved their coconut and their flat rice noodles with beef (forgot the name but the salty one not sweet..). Also, they serve a delicious won ton soup. I would pass on the bbq chicken though or their fried rice. Nothing special there.. In conclusion, probably a 4 for the food but I am keeping it a 5 for the kind spirit of the staff and awesome environment that males you feel at home.

The food is always excellent. Our favorite lunchtime spot. The service is amazing. Sherry is so wonderful. Highly recommend this spot. They have the best pineapple chicken, curry, and their steak and chicken salad is so good

We are Thai food fanatics and have tried many places in SoCal. This is the place we come back to over & over again, not only because of the delicious food but because of the superb and friendly customer service. Spotless restaurant, easy parking, fast turnaround (we place our order by phone and it’s always ready by the time we get there), reasonable prices (most dishes are around $11-13), good-sized portions, FULL of flavor, and spicy ACTUALLY means spicy here. The beef pad see ew - order it spicy - is a must try if you are looking for something on the sweeter side. I’ve recommended this dish to many friends and neighbors and it is always a hit. Seafood pad kee mao is another favorite of mine, as is spicy fried rice with chicken. The latter is made with a delicious sauce and lots of basil, and the chicken can be made as crispy as you want. The sweet family who owns this restaurant cooks great, authentic food and is always happy to customize to our specifications (eg: less veggies, or extra noodles for a slight surcharge). I’ve never tried anything I didn’t like here, although there are so many items I haven’t gotten to because I keep coming back to the three mentioned above. Again, we’ve eaten at many Thai places and they simply do not compare to Pacific Rim. I’m embarrassed to admit that over the years they’ve come to know our phone number and order by heart, but this speaks volumes to just how amazing their customer service is.

The chicken pad Thai was solid! Great amount of food for the price and very fresh. Slightly dry but it’s nothing crazy! Loved the customer service. Very sweet.

Delicious Thai food! We had pad thai and curry, plus spring rolls. Excellent and freshly served. The family that runs this place could not be more attentive, warm and friendly. I highly recommend! I wanted extra spice so she brought me a few different oils and Chiles to add and it hit the spot. Right off the freeway so very convenient if you are driving by on the 405. I will be stopping here more often.
