Yummy! by andrea b on 7/20/2011 via Insider Pages
I had forgotten about this place but had gotten a promotional offer so I went back. BOY WAS I SURPISED! The food was so good. I either had forgotten how great it was or it had imporved greatly. This restaurant is now one of my "GO-TO"…

Chandra rocks! by Rogelio "Roggy" Y on 2/16/2010 via Insider Pages
Yes, I know this place looks like a hole in the wall, but it is my favourite Thai restaurant in the Pasadena area. (Sorry, Patakan -- you're my second favorite.) I recommend the Golden Triangle Appetizer, Pad Thai, Sizzing Pork. Also…

Perfect Hole in the Wall Thai Rest in Pasadena by marissab1 on 1/25/2010 via Menuism
Talk about major HIDDEN GEM HOLE IN THE WALL. This is THE BEST Thai restaurant in S. CA, no joke. I am a...

Serious issues with food quality, integrity, and service by schi on 8/5/2009 via Citysearch
I took my family to this establishment as I wanted to find restaurants we don't normally frequent as I was tired of the places we normally go to. Bad mistake. I take my family there tonight, and I ask the waitress for a soup noodle dish…

I love thai food and this place has got some tasty dishes. They have yummy appetizers too. I love the pad thai and the lettuce cups too. The thai tea is tasty.

Horrible Food & Shady Business Practices! by Orchid17S on 8/31/2008 via Citysearch
We would give them ZERO stars, but the least you could give is 1 star...\r \r We recently had dinner at Chandra and the experience was beyond disappointing! The fish wasn't fresh and was overly done, the tom yum soup was bland and fishy..…

Try: Vegetable Soup by organickali on 11/9/2007 via Citysearch
Normally when going to a Thai restaurant, they don't have Veggie Soup. Thai soups mostly have either coconut milk or that sour lemongrass flavor. For those who want a more "mild" version, but still want Thai, I say go for the Veggie Soup!…

Reliable and open (relatively) late (for Pasadena) by ChristianLemay on 7/12/2007 via Menuism
Chan Dra is a good, reliable Thai restaurant. The menu is fairly standard, and prices are low. The...

Great authentic thai food, Excellent Service by warrenpereira on 6/28/2007 via Citysearch
This is definitely one of the best thai restaurants in los angeles, let alone pasadena. The food was excellent, the pad thai superb, eggplant with pork, and the crispy shrimp had all unique flavors. I am definitely going back to this place…

Upscale Thai food by alisonkramer on 9/12/2006 via Citysearch
Slightly "finer dining" that your average strip mall Thai joint, this chic spot can be crowded and slow, but mostly delivers. The pad thai is unremarkable, but the appetizer plate was one delicacy after another. Prices are high, but the…

great padthai by vmt on 8/16/2006 via Citysearch
I don't care about the 'motif' or the 'atmosphere', just the food and if a thai restaurant can't make pad-thai right I can't eat there. chan dra gets it; the noodles are orange from the sauce, not grey from the lack there of. Average…

great thai place by betty c. on 9/1/2005 via Judy's Book
my favorite thai place in pasadena and in southern california is still saladang but chandra is also pretty good. we went with a large group last time and tried a ton of dishes. everything was really delicious and they even sang happy…

Good Thai Food by Sheila P. on 8/19/2005 via Judy's Book
If you're in the mood for Thai, go to Chandra's. You don't get the usual touristy food here, the flavor is much more authentic.Try their yellow curry and spicy fried rice. You can't go wrong with those two. Their chicken dishes are…

Thai fine dining. by Lynn S on 8/11/2005 via Insider Pages
Try the large crab langoons. And the sexy catfish. And the pad prik king with beef. And of course, the curries. I enjoy dining and take out from this restaurant that feels like it wants to be upscale. The subdued lighting in the evening…

Food was below average. by intlfoods on 9/28/2004 via Citysearch
Its got a nice theme and the service was excellent. But the food wasn't all that exciting for a Thai restaurant. The spices weren't what you would expect, either too spicey or not flavored enough. The seafood dish was not the fragrance…

Extremely Underwhelmed by fmsami on 8/9/2004 via Citysearch
I heard so much about Chandra from others and thought I'd try it out myself. I don't know why people like this place. The decor is depressing and dark, the service is horribly slow and the food was very so-so. Try "Thai in L.A" in…

Best Thai Around by grrrrr on 2/29/2004 via Citysearch
I'm away at school now and one of the things I alway make sure to do when I am back in Pasadena is eat at Chand Dra. The food is excellent, the staff is wonderful, and you can get a three-course lunch for under eight bucks. It's fairly…

Consistently Good by wildswede on 9/17/2003 via Citysearch
I have been eating at (and ordering for delivery and take-out) Chandra for the past few years. The food and service has been consistently GREAT! There is nothing that I would not order again. The Larb is the best I have ever had. The…

Declining service by brian_eck on 11/18/2002 via Citysearch
My wife and I have been going to Chan Dra for a while now. It used to be an inexpensive and good place to eat. However, twice in a row recently, we have received appalling service. The first time, my wife placed a delivery order that…

Killer fried shrimp egg rolls (to start) by fulanodtal on 10/25/2002 via Citysearch
Great! Overall great service, great food, unpretentious ambiance. The people there are so cool, when I inquired how they make a particular specialty dish of theirs, they actually gave me a bottle of the secret ingredient (don't expect this…
