"The parking lot fills up fast at President Thai in East Pasadena. Folks come in at all hours to sit in the grand dining room with ornate decor and white tablecloths, and order pad see ew, satay skewers, and tom kha gai soup. Service is always excellent and the best seats are on the lush patio. — Mona Holmes, reporter" - Cathy Chaplin, Mona Holmes
