PAD THAI BORAN — the taste of Old Bangkok, now landed in Old Pasadena. 🇹🇭✨

Our Pad Thai Boran is street food with a little more soul—stir-fried with that perfect balance of savory, tangy tamarind, and just the right touch of sweetness, then topped with our marinated herb-grilled chicken for another level of flavor.
Quality proteins. Authentic Thai flavors. A recipe inspired by the way Mom likes her Pad Thai—always. ❤️

From the streets of Old Bangkok to Thaim in Old Pasadena—this is our taste of home, served our way.
