MIYA มีญ่า

"A Thai restaurant that was destroyed by the Eaton fire." - 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

"Miya is a new Thai restaurant by Sticky Rice owner David Tewasart, located in northern Pasadena. It has quickly become busy since its opening." - Farley Elliott

"David Tewasart, the restaurateur behind three Sticky Rice locations (Highland Park, Echo Park, and Grand Central Market in Downtown) and Moon Rabbit inside Grand Central Market, quietly opened a Thai restaurant called Miya at 2470 Lake Avenue in Altadena on Friday, January 20. The restaurant, named after Tewasart’s daughter, is only taking walk-up orders for now with the takeout menu posted on the restaurant’s front door. Plans to open the dining room and to build out a back patio and sidewalk seating are in the works. Miya's menu is dedicated to homestyle cooking, says Tewasart. The menu includes a spicy and aromatic tom yum soup with shrimp, a sweet and savory basil eggplant stir-fry, and pad thai topped with dried shrimp and pork cracklings. The restaurant will be serving beer and wine once its license comes through. Miya is open Wednesday through Sunday from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m." - Cathy Chaplin
