Thai Excellente - El Monte

My favorite exercise is a cross between a lunge and a crunch…I call it Lunch. :D So without further ado let’s do my first lunch review for 2022. We were in the neighborhood in search of a good Thai lunch food. Thai Excellente is a Mum and Pops restaurant located in a small plaza near the Santa Anita exit 10 freeway. It’s indoor vibe was very homey with a spacious layout. Their wall decor were composed mostly of picture frames of their menu and thai culture such as elephants. We were greeted by the matriarch of the restaurant. We ordered their chicken sate, sweet and sour chicken and lemonade. The appetizer (Sate) was soft, tasty and warm. It’s dipping sauce (peanut and vinegar spice) added more flavor. Similarly, their chicken sweet and sour was warmly delicious and scrumptious. Lemonade was refreshing. Staff has a soft spoken voice with a thai accent, was assiduous, professional and amiable. Menu prices were very reasonable and competitive. Overall, we had a nice lunch and it’s definitely a hidden gem that you must visit.

First time here and the food was really good!!!! The place is clean and food was made fresh so we had to wait 30 minutes for our order but it was worth the wait. The lady who took our order was so sweet and friendly. We will definitely be back. Oh we got the pad Thai pan noodles and egg rolls bomb!!!

It’s a great hole in the wall restaurant. The food was made fresh and to order

I'm not crazy about thai tea but I love theirs it's the best in town. Everything I've tried is delicious.

BOMB the food there is so good you definitely have to try the fried calamari and coconut seafood soup
