Great local gem! I usually order their Tom Yum and Yellow curry. The Won Ton soup is also good and their noodle dishes. I live nearby and walk to pick up my order but the restaurant is spacious and clean. I am not sure why they have prev bad reviews. Owners are both Thai make original food and have great stories to tell. Just ask! read more

Went right before closing and we were still treated so well. Amazing service! The restaurant was clean . I have a habit of looking at ceilings for cobwebs and there were none . For me, the food was perfect. It wasn't too spicy or salty and we didn't have to wait long. I loved it. read more

A place where you will find authentic Thai food, good taste in whatever you may order. Their service is good as you are waited by the owners of the business and they make sure that you are well taken care of. They carry nice lunch specials and if you are with limited time to dine in you can call in it and they will have it fresh and ready for you. read more

Okay, we found this place while we were on our way to find some ramen lol. Been there for years and we never noticed it until today. Off the bat it's a quaint little spot, nothing fancy about it, the cute couple are the owners and they were so welcoming when we came in. We ordered the Tom Yum soup and the fried rice and wing of Angel. Both were good actually pretty darn good. Really enjoyed this place and can't wait to come back! read more

Bangkok Sapphires Thai - Wing of Angel and fried rice combo, minus a lot of already eaten fried rice lol! - Thai Near Me - Torrance, California

Support local! We went in because they have plywood covering a huge window. It doesn't look recent though because they've stored stuff in that area Staff was friendly and decor was great. Outdoor like so you had this strange indoor outdoor feeling going on. I've seen many paintings of the (last) king but never a full bust before. The miniature food carts in glass cases are adorable and detailed. Menu was outdated, the online one seems more accurate. Food was good if a bit sweet, which made it very nostalgic of south bay Thai food from a couple decades ago. Combos are nice to try a few things. The red curry was spicy (like not for farang spicy) which was great, they did not ask about heat level. Pad see ew was good with very light wok flavor. Mango sticky rice was pleasant. The Thai tea was huge It's not the fancy, super authentic Michelin recommended Thai down the street. It's your local corner mom and pop shop. We'll be back to try the lunch specials read more

Bangkok Sapphires Thai - Combo 3 bbq chicken and red curry shrimp with rice and a pad see ew - Thai Near Me - Torrance, California

Underrated little spot with very calming interior, no frills, and a great place to catch lunch. One of my new favorite Thai spots in the South Bay, which is such a competitive scene, but the value of their lunch special plus their nice service and ambiance really makes bangkok sapphires stand out. My sister and I love coming here together after walking to Alondra Park, and it feels like we're almost on vacation! read more

Great food. Third time here and does not disappoint. Yellow curry veggies with tofu. Yum. Best fried rice fished as well Combo seafood in red curry sauce scrumptious Small place but good fresh food. read more

1. It was THE WORST PAD THAI I ever had!!! 2. There was a sneaky extra charges!!!! I should have walked out when I felt the atmosphere was so empty and negative when I walked into the restaurant..... nobody was there besides the owner was sitting at the table being on the phone. I ordered a chicken pad thai to go anyway against my feelings and asked the owner if I can have a little extra bean sprouts. He said ok. I paid, sat down and waited. I was checking out the menu and realized that he charged me extra $1 for just a little bit of bean sprouts!!! He should have told me or asked me if that would be ok with me!!! If he would charge me for just a little extra bean sprouts, I would say no!!! All I would ask from the owner is being just honest about the price or a reminder!!! I asked the owner if he charged me $1 for extra bean sprouts and he said yes when he brought out my Pad Thai. So I told him he should have told me otherwise I would say no. HE DIDN'T say ANYTHING!!! And when I opened the container, I was mad and so disappointed how little the bean sprouts he added for extra $1!!! The Pad Thai was so flat and plain. The noodle was too soft and soggy. The flavor was just sour. No peanuts either!!!! I would rather be a repeat customer at other Thai restaurants who would not charge any extra just for some extra bean sprouts!!! I would not recommend this restaurant!!!! read more

Great hidden neighborhood gem for an inexpensive lunch. I think you gotta try the menu tho, to see which lunch entrees you like. I got yellow curry last time without telling them how spicy, and didn't love it. This time, I got the red curry, medium spicy, and totally loved it. For $8.50 including tax? Totally satisfied my craving for spicy Coconutty Thai curry! read more

First time here,the food is super delicious fresh and yummy and customer service is amazing..quit and cool place to enjoy thai food with family read more

I was really disappointed with the portion size. The container had so much space. The food was good but, have to say that it was not worth the price compared to other restaurants nearby. read more

I've been here a few times to order their vegetable yellow curry and it has not disappointed me yet! Food was ready in 10-15 minutes. Nice little mom and pop spot. read more

This is a cute mom and pop place. They have great lunch specials (11-3). Salad (or soup), fried wonton with a tasty sweet and sour sauce (the balance is great), and an entree + rice. Today, I had Red Curry with chicken. It was spicy and yummy. There was a good amount of chicken, bamboo shoots, and peas. Service is always friendly and prompt. The non lunch menu is reasonably priced. We've been there for dinner a few times too. I've had Pad Kee Mao and Massamun Curry before. Always tasty. The decor is simple but cute. They have nice and quiet music playing. It's in a strip mall so parking is great. The restroom is a little small but clean. They have a QR code for their menu but also have regular menus. read more

I always get the pad kee mao with fried tofu and like that they use fresh chili peppers. The noodles are always soft and fresh. I also enjoy getting the papaya salad. read more

Only 3 the food the soup was good but rice did taste like it wasn't fresh on the wall it says straw by request and we no request and got them. The water tasted horrible but service fast and garlic tofu was really good and soup too those are the cons is the water rice the unwanted straws and we request chopsticks and never got it read more

Bangkok Sapphires Thai - Lunch Garlic Pepper - Thai Near Me - Torrance, California

Disappointing that this place is still around. It's just taking up space for what could be a better business. Want a simple Pad Thai? They don't know how to do that. Noodles are fried, sure, but no flavor. No peanuts or lemon slice. Just soggy fried noodle. Want to try a soup? I'm convinced they didn't taste it. Nobody could try it and say that bitter flat flavor was the goal. Can't even get lemonade right. Go somewhere else, folks. This ain't it. read more

Nice private little spot with home cooking. Decent prices, big menu variety. The grandma is usually the one in the back cheffing up the orders. Can't get anymore authentic than grandmas cooking... read more

I ordered lunch padthai pork and beef basil for take out, i am very excited to try their foods but after i get home and taste those dishes. Their padthai was plain no taste at all, noodle was very rubbery and have just four tiny pieces of pork, i am very dissappoint on this dish but basil beef was good and perfect spicy level. I decided to gave them one star cuz padthai is a most signature dish for thai restaurant but what they make it not good enough for me thou. read more

Loved their food. Dinner prices Very, Very reasonable! And generous portions. Had the satay chicken with fried rice. Sis had the fried fish. They also have lunch specials! read more

We came by on a slow night and were the only ones dining-in. I enjoyed the chicken pad thai and crispy egg rolls, but generally find Three Spice Thai over on Western appealing too, albeit more expensive. Having said that, the service at Bangkok Sapphires was excellent, and I felt it was wonderfully authentic for the chef to bring the food she made out to us herself. I could tell they put love and care into their food, which makes me want to come back again to try some of their other menu items. They take credit cards and have free parking in the attached outdoor lot. The restaurant was exceptionally clean, which was reassuring considering other places seem to have let things get a bit lax even with the pandemic going on. Employees were wearing masks, which was nice to see. read more

Torrance Food Crawl #256 Bangkok Sapphires is located in a small corner strip mall across the street from Alondra Park. They seem to do a fair amount of take out and delivery business but they also have about a dozen tables inside for sit down meals. On Friday afternoon business seemed light and service was very friendly and prompt. I started with Thai Sticks. These were identified as a 'House Special' and came with three pieces. Skewered on each stick was a shrimp around which a chicken and pork mix was wrapped, covered with mild spices, and deep fried. The chicken and pork were the most substantial and strongest tasting element. The shrimp was average. The dipping sauce helped by adding some moistness to the partially dry meats and also added a nice sweet taste. My entree was the Squid with Chili Basil. The squid was scored with swirling cuts around it leaving large round tubes with a decorative pattern. The squid was fairly fresh, with only the slightest presence of a gummy resistance. The spicy sauce was labeled as 'hot' on the menu but wasn't very hot to my tongue. It had a nice sharp chili flavor, nicely completing my appetizer which had a sweet taste. There were some onions, basil leaves, and carrots along with the squid but they were minor elements of the dish. The white rice on the side was hot and only mildly starchy. The level of cleanliness here could be improved. From my table I could see the 'A' grade they got from the county health department, however, my table was sticky to the touch and both glasses were covered with water spots and one still had lipstick from a previous user. Despite some minor cleanliness issues the food here seems authentic and generally good. read more

I had not eaten here for many years and found the restaurant has been downsized. The food is pretty good and the portions are just normal size, but I found it to be enough. It does take the cook a little longer than normal to prepare the food, but all of the food is fresh and tasty so it was worth it. I had the chicken pricking which was good and I got the luncheon special which included wonton soup. Service was good and the prices were standard for Thai food in the area. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for lunch as the food is good and the price is competitive. read more

Thai food that delivers! Yass! I've Been a regular here since I was younger, and ever since nothing as changed, well the interior has been revamped and it looks great, but the delicious flavor is still on point! Yummy Thai food that delivers, how can you beat that?? My GO TO picks here include the pad se yew, drunken noodles, pad Thai, Thai sticks, beef panang, and curry. All so yummy! I have never been disappointed with anything that I've ordered here, and when they deliver the food its still nice and hot, ready to be devoured! If you decide to dine in, come for lunch, they have great cheap lunch specials and the staff is friendly :) Don't forget the Thai tea :) Happy eats, loves! ^_^ read more

Support local businesses! Small mom and pop spot on Redondo Beach Blvd! Def a new fav. I love the lady who took my order. Very helpful and kind. The food is honestly, delicious. I got their shrimp friend rice and pad Thai w/shrimp. read more

Have eaten here many times and have never been disappointed. Extensive Thai menu with all the traditional dishes, plus salads, soups and appetizers. Portion sizes are good. Vegetables are fresh and the food is always hot. The lunch specials are a great value. It's kind of a little hole in the wall, but quaint, and the service is always really good. As soon as your glass is empty, they come to refill it. Also offers take-out and delivery. My faves are the wonton soup and Pad See Ew. read more

Incredible food. Great prices and fantastic service. Nothing to complain about. Highly recommend.

The best ever Thai food. My favorites are Jelly noodle salad and pad Thai..the original. . For the jelly noodle salad,I always order 3 of them. One for my husband and 2 for me. My husband's favorite is koi see me. Thank you Bangkok Sapphires. We love your food, your staff and of course,your owner I believe his name is Yoes. read more

Food was really good. The seafood curry with egg mixed in was delicious! Service and staff was great. Restaurant was super clean.

Great food and nearby. Pad Thai, pad see ew, yellow curry and fried rice were all perfectly made.

I had drove past this restaurant for a few months, and I decided to try it the other day when I was in the mood for some Thai food. Yet I did check Yelp first before dining at this restaurant and I was very impressed with the reviews. Overall, I loved most of the food I ordered, they give you a lot of great food for the money! I had the #4 Egg Rolls, and they were some of the best egg rolls I have ever had! I had the #23 Tom Kah Kai (Hot & Sour Chicken Coconut Soup), but I did not really care too much for their Tom Kah Kai soup, it was rather bland and had too much lemon or lime juice that overpowered the soup. I ordered the House Special (H1), which was a combination of Thai B.B.Q. Chicken, Chicken Satay, and Chicken Fried Rice, which was DELICIOUS! Based on the portions of food that I got, it is easily enough to feed 2 people, yet again, you get a lot of great food for your money! Best of all, the service was very friendly and fast. The dining room was very casual and nice. I enjoyed dining here. I DEFINITELY will come back here on a regular basis. read more

5 stars for value, their price is fairly reasonable, no matter lunch or dinner. 3 stars for food, I tried their lunch special, it was not that good, but that dinner was much better. Tiramisu was served frozen and food was generally a little bit salty. Wish they read my review carefully. read more

This place is great. The food is warm in their takeout containers weather they deliver or you order there and take home. Our favorite dishes are Jelly Noodle Salad, Pad Thai Noodles, Koi See Mee, fried tofu(oh so good) with or w/o sauce, any of the seafood dishes(my favorite dish is Garlic Squid) actually all the dishes are made to order, not sitting in a pan waiting to be cooked, I have no complaints! It only saddens me that because of covid , we can't eat in. The owner and staff always wear their masks and clean in between clients. Even pens have a clean and dirty containers. Love going there and we won't stop. read more

Food was ok. The real disappointment are their beef wontons. There is hardly any beef. Won't order again. read more

Bangkok Sapphires Thai - Beef Fried Wonton - Thai Near Me - Torrance, California

I usually dont post photos on yelp but I found 4 dead flies in my food and they charged me FULL price for my meal! So at the top of my rice I found a dead fly with wings. My son found a similar bug in HIS rice that he took to the waitress which said it was just part of the rice and dusted it off. I said no. Mine has wings!! Then we started collecting them. My son also found one in his soup. It says "A" rating but eat here at your own risk!! read more

Love this place for their authenticity in their food, the customer service, and on top of that their affordable pricing. They always have your order ready when they say it will be, if not earlier. The food is always on point! read more

I have been passing the little plaza this restaurant is in for five years or so (when I used to live in the area), and I only started going there probably my last couple of years there. I agree that the restaurant's appearance seems a little un-kept (or needs an upgrade from the 1990's set-up), but I do like the food there. My favorite dish is the garlic squid. I've also tried the chicken pad thai and liked that. The people working there have always been nice and thankful. All in all, I support the mom & pop business and this is probably in my top five Thai restaurants in the South Bay. Not sure if they still have the same "coupons" but you can always get free iced tea with a purchase of $___ or more. I suggest getting no ice! read more

So, I tried this place for the first time today and began to vomit profusely just 10minutes into the meal. I don't know what that was about but I can't fathom trying this place for a second time. I will say that I ordered the pad thai noodles with chicken and they were just OK so I would have given this place a 2/5 even before throwing up. Service was blah. read more

Great food, super nice service. Our weekly stop for Thai food.

Definitely the best Thai cuisine in the area! Amazing customer service ! & delicious food! Must try for a date night or a family day ! I ordered the Tom Kha Gai Soup (Thai Coconut Chicken Soup)!! Rich and creamy yet tangy and salty, this Thai coconut chicken soup is filling but light and positively bursting with flavor. The very best tom kha gai soup I've ever tried! We also ordered fried pineapple rice & and pad see ew SUPER FLAVORFUL lastly amazing ambience 10/10 experience definitely coming back! read more
