    I came back to Bowl Thai Grill to try more new dishes and they did not disappoint. The Kai Yang, Pork Larb and Kai Kua were authentic, savory and delicious. The staff were fantastic and friendly. Ambiance was casual and comfortable.

    I was looking for a place that offered healthy yet delicious food, and I was excited to give this restaurant a try. Thankfully, the food absolutely delivered. I ordered the Sakar grilled chicken with a salad, and it was outstanding. The chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy, and flavorful, while the salad was incredibly fresh and delicious. Every bite was enjoyable. My mother ordered the coconut shrimp soup, and she loved it as well. Unfortunately, what should have been a 5-star experience was significantly impacted by one staff member who was handling food orders and assisting at the front. After waiting quite some time and noticing that three groups who ordered after us had already received their food, I politely asked if he could check on the status of my order. My mother had nearly finished her soup by that point. His response was, "Well, if it was ready, you'd have it. It'll come when it's ready." The tone and delivery were unnecessarily rude and dismissive. Several nearby guests appeared surprised by the interaction as well. Throughout our visit, I also observed him interacting poorly with other staff members. He appeared impatient with the cashier, snatching items from her hands and speaking in a manner that came across as disrespectful. It created an uncomfortable atmosphere that stood in stark contrast to the excellent service provided by the rest of the team. I want to specifically recognize the cashier and another young lady working today, both of whom were friendly, professional, and even apologized for the situation despite it not being their fault. They were wonderful and helped. The food was excellent, and we enjoyed it enough that we even walked over to the sister dessert shop afterward for sticky rice. That's why this was so disappointing, the quality of the food and the kindness of the rest of the staff deserved a much higher rating. My only message to management is to please address this employee's customer service and professionalism. One negative interaction should not overshadow what is otherwise a fantastic dining experience.

    From the outside this place looks pretty basic, but I ended up really enjoying the food here. You order at the counter and then find a seat vibe. The food came out very fast too! I got the beef satay with sticky rice and papaya salad, and everything went so well together. The beef was flavorful, the sticky rice was a great balance to the papaya salad, and they have unlimited vinegar available which made the meal even better. I kept going back for more because it paired perfectly with everything. We also got the mango sticky rice for dessert and it tasted very fresh. The mango was sweet and ripe, and the sticky rice had a nice texture. They also have both indoor and outdoor seating.

    *** $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.

    A thai gem hidden in the corner of Tokyo Central's marketplace area. Stick rice also next door their sister food spot. FOOD 4/5 - Basil stir fry came out quick 3/5 imo - Gai Yanang (chicken) sticky rice w/papaya salad 4/5 - recommend this one PARKING 5/5 Always ample parking within this shopping plaza SERVICE 4/5 Solid staff service from all members

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

But keep in mind they charge you by the weight. I have to say mine was looking pretty heavy. Because, I came in super hungry. All I can say is mine had lot's of juicy specialty stuff at the bottom. The vibe here is super casual, nothing fancy, nothing pretentious, just clean tables, friendly faces, and the comforting smell of broth that makes you feel like you're about to make good delicious life decisions. The staff is genuinely friendly, the kind that smiles even when you're staring at the ingredient bar like it's a math test. You pick your broth, your proteins, your veggies, your noodles, basically, you assemble your own masterpiece. And let me tell you, the pot I created, Wow...even the Michelin man would've given me at least half a star. Maybe a full one if they caught me on a good day. The food is excellent. Fresh ingredients, flavorful broths, and that satisfying moment when your custom creation starts bubbling like it's applauding your genius. It's the kind of meal that makes you sit back and think, "Wow... maybe I am him." Service is quick, the place is clean, and the whole experience feels like comfort food therapy. If you're in the G-Town area and craving a hot pot that's built exactly the way you like it, Tai Hot Pot is the move. "What a great delicious experience. " Miguel C.

To be honest, I preferred the seafood over the beef and pork cuts, but they do have a great sauce bar as well for every cut of meat or type of food that you'd like. I went in on a Wednesday evening and surprisingly it was empty, but everything was very clean and the food was fresh. The service was great and we got a little small ice cream at the end. Will definitely be coming back when in the area. Also plenty of parking spots in the plaza!
