In a city known for its incredible food scene, Thai Purple stands out in Alhambra—not just for its bold flavors, but also for its name. Ever wonder why it’s called Thai Purple? In Thailand, purple is the color of royalty—and fittingly, this restaurant aims to treat every diner like culinary royalty. Plus, the color was the favorite of the owner’s mother, to whom the restaurant is lovingly dedicated. But Thai Purple isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about flavor, authenticity, and heart.
Thai cuisine is famous for its delicate balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy, and Thai Purple nails it in every dish. Whether you’re craving the creamy richness of Green Curry, the tangy kick of Tom Yum Soup, or the comforting chew of Pad See Ew, each plate is a one-way ticket to the streets of Bangkok.
Thai Purple isn’t just another Thai restaurant—it’s the passion project of Khun Chatree, who has spent over 20 years perfecting authentic Thai vegetarian dishes in Bangkok. His food is deeply rooted in family recipes, passed down through generations of great cooks. Every bite carries the soul of Thailand, making it one of the most authentic Thai spots in Alhambra.
At Thai Purple, you’ll find a welcoming atmosphere perfect for casual dining, family meals, and even team lunches. And don’t worry about parking—there’s plenty of space nearby. So, grab your friends, loosen your belt, and get ready to enjoy dishes fit for royalty!
