    Yum woon sen
    Rick S.

    What an amazing Thai restaurant in Gardena - the food was authentic, savory and delicious. I love everything from the rad na, moo Ping, yum woon sen and Tom kha gai. The staff were friendly and welcoming as this is my first visit. The ambiance is casual, comfortable and airy with both indoor and outdoor seatings. I can't wait to come back again in the future to try their other dishes. Highly recommended!

    *** $10 minimum for credit cards *** Bowl Thai Grill is a fast-casual Thai restaurant and has the same owner as its next-door neighbor Sweet Rice. [Parking]: I had no issue finding parking as the plaza has a fairly large parking lot. [Ordering]: Customers place an order at the counter, grab a number, and wait for one of the employees to bring out the food. Once the meal is completed, there is a section to drop off empty plates right next to the cashier counter. [Menu]: Some of Yelp's top highlighted dishes are Papaya Salad, Pad Thai, and Beef Satay. Please note that Papaya Salad is one of the options that comes with Grill Entrée. For Grill Entrée, customers can pick a protein, choose white rice / sticky rice, and select either papaya salad / cucumber salad / garden salad. *** Beef Satay (Sticky Rice + Papaya Salad - $19.99): This order also came with peanut sauce. The beef satay and sticky rice were good. The papaya salad was solid & not too spicy, but the flavor profile was just alright. *** Overall this is a solid choice for fast-casual Thai food in Gardena.

    Food was good. Mango sticky rice beer was drinkable. Service was excellent; super friendly. The place was clean. Sweet Rice and this place are from the same owners. This place always has foot traffic when I have gone into Sweet Rice. It's a solid choice if Thai food is what you're craving. The beer being sold at $10 was overly priced.

    Crispy Pork & Chinese Broccoli Bowl
    Abigail D.

    Dropped by to pick up some food to-go and I really enjoyed my crispy pork & chinese broccoli bowl that came with rice and a perfectly fried egg on top. Service was excellent and I did not have to wait too long for my order. I'd definitely come back to dine in and try more off the menu.

    Gai yaang with papaya salad and white rice
    Melissa C.

    Quick, delicious food in a self-serve set up. You order up front, grab your own plates, utensils, water, sauces, and seat yourself. Huge parking lot so you won't have trouble finding parking :) There is a $10 minimum if you want to use credit card. Super fast service; it felt like we got our food in just 10 minutes! All the grilled meat dishes come with a choice of salad and rice. Gai Yaang: 5/5. So good! The chicken was very juicy, tender, and had a delicious charred grill flavor. The sauce tasted like the Pantai sweet and sour sauce but watered down. Moo Ping: 4/5. Pretty good, just tasted a bit strange with the sauce that came with it. Thai Ribs: 1000/5. Wow, my favorite out of everything we ordered! Soooo flavorful, tender, and moist. Salty and sweet, just the way I like it! I'm salivating just thinking about it, this dish is a NEED!!!! Papaya salad: 3/5. Not good - it needs way more lime juice and is missing the spice, dried shrimp, and fish sauce! The peanuts were not crunchy at all as well, so they seemed a bit old. The green papaya tasted very fresh though! The portions for the grilled meat dishes are not the biggest I would say. Maybe good for 1.5 meals at most!

    Moo Ping
    Stephanie H.

    Got the Moo Ping plate! It came with papaya salad and white rice. The meat was good, but the sauce it came with was a bit strange. It was like a sour sauce with a lot of citric acid in it. The papaya salad didn't taste like much, just fresh papaya, could've done with some more lime. Overall, 6/10. Water, plates, utensils, and to go boxes are all self service here. The parking lot is big as well. Would definitely come again to grab some good Thai food!

    Basil Fried Rice with Chicken
    Debbie F.

    Random find and I was very impressed. Starting with service...It's order at the counter. The menu's are nearby and and after a quick review of offerings, I was ready to order. An employee already came by and told us to ring the bell for service if no one was at the register. Easy and simple. Upon ringing the bell, an employee was in front of us within seconds. The food is affordable and at a great price point. Our meals were delicious. I loved the grilled chicken with peanut sauce (which was served on the side), paired with white rice and papaya salad. It was satisfying and flavorful! The other dish ordered by my husband was a fried rice. He enjoyed his as well, but next time would add more meat. Food came out fast, fresh and hot. I had left overs and it was easy to grab a box I needed from the counter. Employees were cleaning and very busy the entire time. The restaurant was clean, open and inviting. Plenty of parking in front as it is located in a large shopping center with multiple other food establishments, Tokyo central market, and more.

    Gai kua
    Ali I.

    I think same owners as bowl Thai (closed), sweet rice and the Thai hot pot. Bowl Thai was prop the best/most authentic Thai spot in the South Bay so this is also on par. I tried their gai kua and got it medium spicy. Just a note they do Thai spice levels so medium is more like spicy. If you don't like spice get no spice or mild. The dish was similar to pad see ew but no soy sauce and it had shiitake mushrooms which I love. Tasted amazing but only complaint is that it was mostly noodles. Not too much chicken or mushrooms which were very thin.

    Fly in salad
    David T.

    Been going to this place on and off for about a year, and the food has generally been great. Unfortunately, we found a fly in one of our dishes. The staff remade the meal, but no one apologized or acknowledged the issue. We appreciated the replacement, but the lack of concern left us disappointed and soured the experience. If you order a salad, I'd recommend giving it a quick look before eating. We'll be taking a break from coming here for a while.

    Chicken satay
    Jenn G.

    I finally got to try out one of Bowl Thai Grill's grill entrees. I have had their sister restaurants Bowl Thai as well as Sweet Rice and have enjoyed dishes from both of those places very much. (I will admit though there was so hesitation of checking this sister restaurant out because I had a bad customer experience a few years back at Sweet Rice - one of the worse I've ever experienced ever. Nevertheless I still wanted to give this spot a chance and I am glad I did). I chose to get their Chicken Satay. For $18.99, it comes with choice of rice and salad. I got it with their sticky rice and papaya salad. I really enjoyed this entree. The chicken was tender and flavorful. The flavor was enhanced with a peanut sauce as well as a spicy green sauce. The chicken also paired well with the sticky rice and papaya salad. Overall it was quite fulfilling. I enjoyed my first visit to Bowl Thai Grill and hope to try their items in the future.

    Pad see ew
    Leo F.

    I rarely give out a 5 star but this place hit all the flavor spots and absolutely cured my thai food craving. We kept it simple and order Pad see ew and chicken satay , and let me tell ya ! The texture of the noodles in the pad see ew were perfect, the flavor was perfect. The chicken was so tender and the char was perfect. Everything was excellent. It has a chill atmosphere and the service was on point. The water and chilli sauces are self serve. I will be back asap!

    Tom yum soup
    Justine K.

    Very casual Thai spot with a walk up counter and seat-yourself setup. The restaurant is spacious with seating outside, but also tons of seating inside which is great for groups. I also saw another "sister" store with the same menu so there's definitely plenty of seating. We tried the tom yum soup with chicken (came with rice), the chicken with string beans, and the pad see ew. The chicken in the tom yum soup was really good and didn't feel overcooked. The chicken and string beans had a kick with a little spice, but not the painful kind. It was very flavorful and that was a surprise. The pad see ew was also cooked really well but I think the stars for us were the soup and the chicken & string beans! The food came out very fast - you bring the number to your table after ordering and they find you. It's also located in a plaza with free parking.

It came with three pieces of rotisserie chicken, two sides, pita bread, and garlic sauce. For my sides, I got brown rice and potato salad. The chicken was delicious. It was flavorful and juicy. I also enjoyed the garlic sauce. It reminded me of a creamy tzatziki sauce except with a garlic punch. That being said, I didn't care for the brown rice which was bland, and the potato salad, which was too vinegary for my taste. The service was very good. The food was ready in a few minutes. Additionally, an employee brought the food out to me even though I ordered takeout, which was nice. I'm glad I didn't dine in. It was really warm inside the restaurant since they left the door wide open. Closing the door and cranking up the AC would make being inside the restaurant a more pleasant experience. If you like Zankou Chicken or Daphne's Greek Cafe, you're probably going like this place. They serve similarly tasty Mediterranean food. I will go as far as to say that I actually prefer this place over the other two chains since the service here is much faster.
