Homestyle Thai dishes like pad thai, curries, and fried chicken.

"Operated by seasoned restaurateur David Tewasart (of Sticky Rice), this charming Thai spot pairs a sleek front dining room with a faux-weathered back room that evokes a stylish Bangkok alley. The cooking is generous and well-portioned, exemplified by a crab fried rice studded with large, sweet, tender chunks of crab and wok-fried fluffy grains; leftovers travel well and make for excellent subsequent meals. The lively Sunday crowd suggested the neighborhood is rallying after recent hardship, and the packed dining room felt like a hopeful sign of community recovery." - Eater Staff
"The Altadena Thai restaurant is set to reopen on May 27, four months after the Eaton Fire burned through the neighborhood. Owner David Tewasart spoke with former Eater senior editor Cathy Chaplin for LAist about the process of getting the restaurant open again." - Rebecca Roland
"An update on January 8, 2025 reported that the owner showed Eater a video of the building intact as of 5 p.m. that day; it was noted that it was unclear whether the restaurant sustained damage, but it was not heavily damaged by fire as had been previously reported." - Matthew Kang
"Altadena’s Thai restaurant Miya embodies the vibes of Thailand’s ahaan tham sang restaurants or quick-order joints. The menu — scrawled on butcher paper taped up to the wall — is small but mighty: find wok-fresh pad thai and pad see ew; a trio of yellow, green, and khao soi curries; and rice dishes that include spicy chicken stir-fried with basil. Miya is the spot for classics done simply." - Kat Thompson

"If starting Echo Mountain in the morning (which is when it should be hiked), the end of the trail can coincide with the mid-morning opening of Miya. Head down the hill and put in orders of pad thai, warming bowls of curry, crispy tofu, and more at this neighborhood Thai spot." - Rebecca Roland
