This is my new favorite hidden gem. It’s a small restaurant with bold flavors. They don’t have a lot of seating compared to other restaurants but if you come early, you can get seated fast. I went a little before 5 PM and there was plenty of tables, but after sitting down the place got crowded so you can tell that this a a restaurant that gets frequented. The ambience has a modern homey feel. Our party ordered the pad see ew, pineapple, fried rice, and the green curry. The food came out fast and it was delicious. I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant again.

It’s been my second time ordering from this restaurant. The first time I tried this place, I had the pad Thai with shrimp, Thai fried rice with shrimp, Panang beef stew, and satay chicken. I mentioned in a previous review that the first time I tried the shrimp pad Thai, it tasted fishy. The second time I tried the food, the pad Thai was significantly better, no fishy taste. However, because I order take out, I ask for a side of pickled peppers but both times, they are SO stingy with the pickled peppers. I ordered 4 dishes, and I get three small containers of pickled peppers that have like 2-3 peppers inside.
The second time I came to pick up, I called prior and asked for a lot. I checked at the restaurant and saw they put three small containers. I asked the lady staff if I could get more, and she said it’s in there and insisted. I was barely able to get two more small containers of the pickled peppers. WHY ARE THEY SO SALTY WITH THE PICKLED PEPPERS?????!!! It’s the small things that make it or break it for me.
That part left me infuriated of how that staff was insistent and not friendly.

This was my second time at Chef G on 4th Thai Street Food, and I came back specifically for the spicy catfish. It’s just that good, and honestly, this visit was even better than my first. We also ordered Thai tea and the fish cake, which works well as either an appetizer or even a main bite on its own. For entrées, we had the drunken noodles with crispy pork and of course the spicy catfish. Both were packed with flavor. We chose a spice level of 4 out of 5, but honestly, we could’ve gone with a 5 since we ended up adding the pickled jalapeños and Sriracha from the table.
For dessert we got the classic mango sticky rice. It was so good even though we were stuff it’s a must.
If you’re looking for authentic Thai food in Alhambra, this place is a must-try. The service was excellent, and the restaurant has that cozy mom-and-pop feel where you can still carry a conversation without raising your voice. Parking is easy with a free public lot in the back, plus street parking if needed.
I’ll definitely keep coming back with friends and family and highly recommend Chef G on 4th to anyone craving quality Thai food.

I first went out about this place in late 2023 till this day it has now been one of my top five favorite places to go eat and have dinner with my husband. There has been a lot of changes since then when I first went there they were like grade 8 in the braces Were way more than now they did some updating to like the walls. The menus I recently went on Monday to go have dinner with my husband, and I asked why they were closer to the past weekend and then they told me they did some deep cleaning and I didn’t notice that their grade level went from A to B. I can tell you that I am not sure what they found or why they went down to me, but the food was still delicious. I also didn’t notice that they raise the prices again when I was getting the soup there’s sour soup seafood, sour soup there before it was $12.95 and now it went up to $16+. I just went to their website and the prices there aren’t all updated like the restaurant. Either way if you’re around Alhambra area this is a spot. I do recommend. I usually always get the same thing I get seafood, sour soup, mild and spicy and then I get the shrimp fried rice and shrimp pad Thai. I I really enjoy drinking the Thai tea but due to the price change I think for a small glass it’s exaggerating price. I didn’t get it this time. I drank water, but that was fine. I did get my total this time and it was 70+ without tip so we are going to be making less visits to our favorite spot now because it used to be a little bit less than 50 before and with this economy we really can’t afford these nights I’d rather go to a fancy restaurant and spend that much with a little more, but I still love it

My go-to Thai restaurant in SGV! Food is authentic Thai, and great service (accommodated to different taste preferences-more sour, less spicy, etc). As a Thai, I can testify that their food has authentic flavors. We usually order Pad Seew & mango sticky rice. Their salty garlic fried shrimps are amazing also. It’s not a big place so it could get crowded during lunch and dinner times.

The food was really good. Portions are a bit small. There was no wait for us at 6pm on a week day. Knock off one star since they gave us a glass that still has lipstick mark on it.

One of many places to eat on Main Street, but don’t let the small place keep you away. The noodle dishes were so satisfying and spice level was perfect. Crab fried rice lacked a little seasoning, but the eggplant and tofu entree was so good. Portions are big enough for leftovers. Papaya salad was refreshing as well. Free parking in the lot next to the restaurant!

Edible.
Came here at 2pm on a Saturday and the place was full (it’s a smaller spot with 8 tables in the shop).
Ordered the Khao Soi ($16) and Thai Boat Noodles ($16). The Khao Soi was overly sweet, but not to the point where it isn’t edible. Flavor was meh and the portion was really small for $16. You get maybe a drumstick sized chicken and a small portion of fried egg noodles. The boat noodles were ok in flavor, but lackedall of the special tasty bits you usually find in more authentic versions (read: offal).
There’s nothing horrible about this place, but everything is just meh. The portions are pretty small for the price and the food is edible, but definitely nothing to rave about. I’m not sure if I’ll be back.

I was pleasantly surprised by the exemplary food and service that we received here. My Pineapple Fried Rice was the best that I’ve had, and in very picky. My girlfriend had the Dom Yum Noodles and states that they were really, really good. The perfect fresh flavor balance… If you like it spicy, you’ll need ty ask for extra spice, unlike the last Thai place that I ate at where the mild literally scolded my mouth for two days. I prefer the honest choice and being able to add Chili Paste. The fried Cream Cheese Wanton was great both as an appetizer and dessert after our meal.
I’ll be returning multiple times…
Forgive me, the food was so good and I was so hungry, I forgot to take pictures. Believe me, presentation was awesome. These are all I’ve got left…
Plenty of parking in back alley.

A little on the pricey side for the serving sizes. But honestly one the best Thai places in SGV. Highly recommend.
2 of the best things on the menu:
Yellow Curry
Tom Yum
Medium spicy (for both) for best taste imo
