I really like Thai Food. I live in Burbank and so Chadaka Thai would be an obvious location to try out. I went with my boyfriend for lunch. He ordered a Chicken Curry dish and I had a Green Beans / Shrimp dish. The food was decent, I especially liked my boyfriend's dish. I find my entree a bit too spicy though. *and I can eat above average spicy-ness* Now, having relocated to Los Angeles recently from Indiana, I would consider this really good Thai Food. But compare to Hong Kong or Thailand... Err... It's OK at best. Bottomline : will be back! Pros: Inexpensive lunch prices Cons: A bit too spicy

Its high time they shut this place down. Used to be good when they started. They started degrading on a downhill and yesterday was my worst experience. Hoping to have a fulfilling sunday lunch, we walk in at around 12:30 and find ourselves alone. The crew was yapping inside the kitchen and we had to yell for a hello. We asked for the food to be extra spicy. The panang curry was sweet, the eggplants in it seemed to be a last minute raw addition. The fried rice was devoid of any vegetables, for a vegetarian fried rice. We paid 65$ for a lunch of 3 entrees, one starter and iced coffees.Such a waste! Pros: None Cons: Bad Service, Overpriced Menu, Uncooked curries

I'm a regular customer here. Been coming to Chadaka for nearly 3 years. This place never disappoints. I particularly enjoy sitting at the half-moon bar for a drink and dinner on weeknights. The food is fresh and fabulous, the ambiance is trendy yet cozy, and the owner there is incredibly attentive. Lychee martinis are to die for, and it also makes for a great date spot, too! As far my fav dishes go, I would probably say Crab Noodels & Crying Tiger... I have referred so many friends to this place and all have been very pleased. Check it out for yourself! Pros: Ambiance, HappyHour (esp w/ bartender Nate), Delicious Food

Chadaka Thai was a breath of fresh air compared to our only other Thai experience in LA which was on Brand Blvd. Chadaka had great music, ambiance, and decor. Very hip. The food was fresh, clean, and tasty. Good portions too! I love the Tom Kha and the curry. The service was average. Friendly, but not exceptional. It was more the experience of an urban chic atmosphere. A great place to enjoy a New Year's Eve dinner, I wish I would have known about the party after, would of got there a little later. Pros: Ambiance, Food, Music Cons: Slow service

There weren't any staff in sight when we entered. The restaurant is well decorated, it looked clean and neat. The place settings do not include knives! There weren't any knives on any of the tables, only forks. When we asked for some, they only brought one, so it turns out we had to share. The waitresses were dressed very unprofessionally. One had a sweet-sixteen dress on, and the other one was wearing a knit shirt as a dress. The food was pretty good, but got cold quickly. I would, however, recommend the peanut sauce chicken skewers with cucumber relish. The chicken curry was tasty, a little too watered down for my taste. Also, liked their "champagne cocktails", such as, their Maui Sunrise. Their happy hour prices are great: $5 per appetizer and $4 for cocktails. Pros: Good drinks, food, and prices. Cons: Service not professional.

I love Thai food and the food at Chadaka's is tasty. However, beware... I got very ill after eating bad shrimp at the restaurant and will never return to eat there. I love thai food and the best thai restaurants in my opinion are hole in the wall thai places; and the employees there are usually way nicer. Don't let the elegant look of Chadaka's fool you. If you get sick the employees of the restuarant will not acknowledge it! Cons: Service

While the atmosphere is modern and trendy, the food does not live up to the promises. The soup was saltier than the Dead Sea, so I had to return it; fortunately the next attempt was okay. But while I was still busy with the soup, they pushed the main course on me and tried to take away my wife's soup while she was still eating. And then the beef turned out to be like rubber. What a waste of time and money! Pros: Ambience, Parking Cons: Food, Service

their meat was livery tasting and tough! What is it with thai restaurants in particular using cheap subsitutes. Their recipes are good, everything else was tasty, but the meat in both orders was well below average, more like street market quality meat. I AM NEVER GOING BACK Pros: soups, noodle dishes Cons: meat and poultry, bad service, unhappy looking waiters

I took a friend here based on these reviews and I couldn't have been more pleased. My friends and I have Thai food all the time at various places in the Pasadena-Glendale area and I've decided that Chadaka will be my preferred place for Thai. The food is solid with most of your standard dishes. I always try to get the Pad Thai when I go to a new Thai place so I can compare, and I really enjoyed the Pad Thai here. My friend got the peach salad and really enjoyed that. Next time I'll try something more unusual. What really stood out to me was the decor and the outstanding service. The atmosphere was intimate without being stuffy and it was great to sit outside and people watch. The service was excellent and attentive and I even made it a point to thank the owner for the great service. It's a good place to go with a few friends and have a good time, or to take a date for an relaxed but intimate dinner.
