Wow what a gem! This family business is so precious. The husband is the cook and has a special talent to transform your palate through the food he prepares! We ordered the drunken noodles (Pad Ke Mao) and the sweet and sour chicken with a side fried rice. The lunch came with soup or salad. My wife got the coconut soup and I got the ginger salad. The soup was well balanced and flavored perfectly. The drunken noodles and the sweet and sour chicken were so delicious and perfect portion size. It was perfectly seasoned and very flavorful. My wife and I were very amazed and caught off guard at how delicious our entire meal was. The owner who waited on us was such a delight and took care of us with such a cheerful presence. This beautiful restaurant has decent space in their seating area, and a great ambiance! We will definitely be back and would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone who wants amazing Thai food. read more

Fresh Bowl - Seating area - Thai Near Me - Lawrenceville, Georgia

I love this place and hope it does well under its new management! Best Thai food in the area in my opinion. When you walk in you can hear Thai music playing and it definitely has an authentic feel to the decor. The hostess we spoke to was charming and helpful and made adjustments to our order with no problem. We wanted to add protein (shrimp) to the kid's fried rice and it was only an additional $7 charge for five very large shrimp in a generous portion. The Thai tea was authentic and delicious, not too sweet. We had the pad see ew, which was perfect. The texture of the noodles was chewy and not soggy, egg was plentiful, chicken was plentiful, they definitely got all the flavors right! We also had the special, chicken rice, and it was so delicious we hope it will make its way to the regular menu. Our new Thai spot for sure. We will definitely be back frequently! :) read more

Very attentive hostess and wait staff. Delicious food but then again, I got the massaman curry and who can really ever go wrong with that option? They were also very accommodating when I asked for salmon instead of their shrimp option (though not as well seasoned on the salmon). My man got the panang curry and preferred that over mine (booooo) and honestly, everything was great! Love that it's also on the outside strip of the mall so I never have to deal with the mall crowd if I'm ever craving it! read more

Saw a huge UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT sign. Cute dining area with both regular chairs and booths each having their own little aesthetic lamp. The service was quick and server was attentive and very knowledgeable on menu. They had a big board listing the specials for the day. We ordered a chicken Larb salad and a chicken pad Thai. I had asked for extra Thai hot as I enjoy my meals especially Thai food more if it's really spicy. The chicken larb was great. Flavorful and spicy. But pad Thai was mildly spice and semi bland. When I asked if they had fresh peppers, server took initiative and took my dish back and had it remade. It was definitely a lot better after. Not only was it spicy but the flavors were hitting. The color as well- being a self appointed pad thai expert (LOL) the color just looked right and indicated it's full of flavors and not bland. I really enjoyed it then. We asked for check and were presented these little complimentary thai custard dessert with coconut cream on top. It had a pandan flavor, not too sweet and slightly salty from the coconut cream. Perfect blend. Will be back to try other dishes. read more

This hidden gem in Lawrenceville just got a refresh under new management, and it's better than ever. Everything we tried was packed with authentic Thai flavors. We ordered three appetizers--fried calamari, satay chicken, and satay pork--served in a beautiful traditional Thai basket, and they tasted perfect with sticky rice. The Crying Tiger Steak was a standout: tender, smoky, and served with a sweet-spicy sauce. We also loved the rich green curry, basil chicken, drunken noodles with jumbo shrimp, and the crispy whole red snapper with 3-flavor sauce. Everything hit the spot! read more

We ordered via food delivery: - Kung Pao: I do see how another review mentioned how the food could be a bit overly salty, it's not even take out nor authentic it's a bit watered down versus glazed but has a good base taste. Came with white rice and a spring roll which was delicious and loved the sauce that came with it - $13.50 - Pad Prik Khing: I got this with chicken and was pretty disappointed in how sweet it ended up being. I am used to savory maybe a hint of sweetness type Thai but this was sweet. This also came with rice and a spring roll. - $13.50 All in all, I think the spices and food is more catered to western taste versus authentic and/or normal take out. I did kind of feel maybe these were put together with Asian grocery store sauces like pre-mixed ? The food wasn't totally unappetizing but I think I will skip this place in the future as we really couldn't find a way to finish our food. As a disclaimer though just because it wasn't what I enjoy it doesn't mean you won't. Worth a try! read more

Best Thai Food ever! All the food is fresh and amazing! This is a family owned restaurant and everyone is so nice! Very relaxed restaurant. My family and I have been coming for years. Large parties or just us we love it here. Now for the food i'm obsessed with the spring rolls! So crunchy and perfect! I also love the General Tso chicken! Be sure to check the hours before going but this restaurant is amazing! I will continue to come back. read more

My coworker and I dined here Friday for lunch and we were very impressed with our experience! Fresh Bowl is a small restaurant with a few tables at the end of a shopping plaza. The interior is fresh and clean with minimal decoration and only a couple of servers for the entire restaurant. There were a few patrons dining when my coworker and I arrived and throughout our meal, there was a steady flow of patrons. My coworker and I wanted to try a variety of dishes so decided to share instead of ordering individual meals. We were able to try the following: - Pad See Ew - Stir fried flat rice noodles with chicken, egg, broccoli, and carrots in brown sauce. - General Tso's Chicken - Deep fried battered chicken with bell peppers in a spicy and sweet sauce. Served with jasmine rice and spring roll. - Spicy Mango Chicken - Deep fried battered chicken with bell peppers, mango chunk, and basil leaves in spicy mango sauce. Served with jasmine rice, and spring roll. Our lunch specials were served with a complimentary soup, which was an unexpected pleasant surprise. All three dishes very delicious and exceeded my expectations. I especially enjoyed the light breading on both the General Tso's and Mango chicken; I really dislike when these dishes are served with a thick or heavy breading so I this made all the difference here. The Pad See Ew was also great quality. Service was very responsive and overall we had a great experience. The prices of their lunch specials here are also very appealing. Glad we decided to try this place - I look forward to coming back! read more

The waitress was friendly and attentive to our requests. The store was also neat and clean. We had the fried calamari which was cooked perfectly and not overly seasoned like most restaurants, as our appetizers. For our main dishes we tried the Isan style Papaya and the basil chicken with regular jasmine rice as well as sticky rice. All of the dishes were delicious and we plan on returning in the future. read more

Been coming here regularly for over a year. The restaurant is never too crowded and we always get seated as soon as we walk in. The service is always very attentive and the food is great. My go-to is the pad see ew and, more recently, the orange chicken and tom yum soup. Going to miss this spot when we move out of the area! read more

I went here cause I been craving mango sticky rice. $12 for this dessert is crazy but also they don't put the extra cream of coconut sauce on it so it's extra dry. The little side of whip cream isn't enough nor does it do the dessert justice. I wouldn't recommend unless you like dry rice. They really need to revamp the recipe and make it like everyone else does especially when they charges $2 more than most places. read more

Just left with my basil fried rice with beef $23 medium heat. Too expensive for the little amount I received and too hot to eat. And beef was tough with little vegetables. First and last visit. An expensive lesson learned. read more

Food was tasty, very good service and very good ambiance. Enjoyed our meal and then the desert. Thai iced tea was very tasty!

My sisters and I were shopping at Discover Mills and one of them was in the mood for some Thai food. Fresh bowl was the only other Thai restaurant in the area besides the one located in the mall. (I actually use to work down the street and been wanting to stop by for a long time). We arrived right when they opened on a Monday and were seated right away. They had every other booth blocked to keep customers separated due to Covid. Lots of restaurants had stopped doing this. +1000 stars We ordered the papaya salad, spicy beef salad, Panang Curry, appetizer sampler, and some stir fry noodles. Everything was pretty good. The papaya salad and spicy beef salad just needed some extra spice. The staff was really attentive, probably because we were the only customers that ate in the entire time we were there. They had lots of take outs that night. Definitely recommending Fresh Bowl to family and friends. read more

Fresh Bowl is good! I'm a fan of their Pad Thai, crab rangoon, Green Curry, papaya salad, etc. Everything tastes fresh! You can tell a lot of care and love goes into their dishes. Their menu is quite extensive too (noodle dishes, rice dishes, soups, etc) which adds for a variety of entrees you can get as a family style or to try something different. Thai iced tea is a must too. Friendly staff/owner. They package up the to go/takeout orders well. Definitely check out Fresh Bowl and support local and good food! read more

Everything on the menu is great and the service is always fast and friendly! Their curries and Thai dishes are my favorites.

I was very excited to come here looking at their reviews. Cute place and surprised by the fact that what we saw in photos were not on the menus. We ordered soups to start that was not on the menu. We ordered Tom yum and Tom kurkai. Burg lacked salt. The Tom yum was ok, I had better and worse. The coconut soup had way too much acid. Not enough coconut milk. We ordered drunken noodles and Panama curry. Both were much better that the soup. Very tasty. Not hot at all. If you like it thai hot, they don't even ask and I had to ask for some simbal chili sauce. I will try again. read more

I love finding a new place especially when I need a new place. We went to Fresh Bowl - Thai and Chinese Cuisine tonight while we're out near Sugarloaf Mill. We've needed to "up" our Thai game and this is the place. From outside it is unassuming, but inside it is decorated nicely and very comfortable. And the food was, well, it was FRESH and delicious. I had the Pad Khing - a light ginger sauce and lots of veggies and shrimp - it was perfect! My husband has the Curry Noodles and it was so much food that he's bring half of it home. And if you are an iced tea person, I'd recommend getting half-n-half - they had the most delicious tea! read more

Good Thai food here. I was a little thrown off by the color of the pad Thai as it seemed white in color but the flavor was there and I enjoyed my meal here. Been here several times and can say they are a good choice for Thai food. Located in the Sugarloaf Mills shopping plaza right next to the mall. Parking is plentiful and service is nice. read more

We had fried pot stickers and egg rolls to start. Both were wonderful and enjoyed the dipping sauce for them. We had two dishes.

Beer was expensive but it's more about the excellent flavors, fresh ingredients of the food and nice customer service. read more

Usually with half stars I would round up, however, I think this place deserves 3 stars. Though our food picks were pretty solid, some things were off. My go-to dish for a Thai place is typically pad Thai. That wasn't the case as my friend said the pics on Yelp looked like color was missing from it. Hmm. I rather not try an Americanized version. The Thai coffee was $3.50. A pretty average price. Though the "prettier" glassware they use holds less coffee. And I haven't really experienced where after consuming Thai coffee, I was still feeling sleepy. Yeah. It 'twas less coffee in that glass. The spicy basil noodles (pad khee mao) looked and tasted good. It wasn't really spicy though, just oily. Though at $11, it's more parallel to Atlanta prices imo. The portion size was generous so I'm okay with that price point. The green curry the hubs had was okay. The color was off though -- there seems to be a pattern here. For $12, it was meh. Thanks for letting us know there was an extra $2 for brown rice. Our friend's spicy basil fried rice was pretty good. He almost had an uncharged had he not asked about something costing extra. They seem to play the petty game of not disclosing these hidden charges. I personally think it's petty of them to try to squeeze an extra few marginal dollars from customers. The little things like upcharging for wanting Thai coffee without ice is sort of a negative in my books. I noticed it on the drink menu, which isn't on a separate paper or booklet but stashed on a table topper with the alcohol stuff off to the side. And they seem to happily upcharge without informing the customer. Lastly, their prices are those more like Atlanta. As this is Lawrenceville, I'm pretty surprised. I suppose since Fresh Bowl Thai is near Sugarloaf Mills, this attributed to the higher prices. Summary: Food was okay. Prices parallel to that of Atlanta. They like to uncharged and not inform you. Will I come here again? Nope. read more

Fresh Bowl is Ahh-mazing !!! I'm been looking for great chinese food forever and it's been let down after let down. Last night I decided to give it one more go, I searched high & low and read bad review after bad review... then I came upon fresh bowl and decided to give a try. So glad I did ! We had shrimp fried rice, fried chicken wings, crab rangoon, spring rolls, and sesame chicken. (Yes I know that's a lot of food but we were really excited!) Let me tell you, I have nothing bad to say about any of it. The shrimp fried rice was my favorite, large shrimp & well seasoned rice with lots of bean sprouts (those are my fave). The chicken wings were a great size, crispy and super tasty. Spring rolls perfect. Crab rangoon perfect. My little one even enjoyed all the food as well & she is very picky. This will definitely be my go to spot for Chinese food from now on and it should be yours as well. I am Looking forward to trying the Thai food next time !! read more

Really nice woman appears to run the place, but candidly the food isn't that good. The Pad Thai is bland, lacking that shrimp oil or tamarind flavor. It's pale in color and tastes as such and the chicken almost tastes slightly battered. The curries are so over coconut milked that they lack even the color of what they're supposed to be. It literally looks like milk and has an overly thick consistency. Papaya salad bland and lacks flavor. I really want her to succeed, but the food has to get better, and again puzzled by the high Yelp ratings. read more

First Timer, I tried the Beef Pad Thai. Pictures turned out nice. It was ok, nothing special. The beef and broccoli was decent, but the noodles could have used a little more flavor. Good enough if you're in a pinch and there's no other Thai/Chinese place near. I may try them again, maybe it was an off night. read more

I ordered a variety of dishes such has pad woon sen, pad Thai, sesame chicken, crab Rangoon, Tom yum soup, thai style fried rice, Moo Goo Gai Pan, and Szechwan chicken, and they all weren't good. *The Tom yup soup was sour and was the worst Tom yum soup I ever eaten. *The pad woon sen was just okay, I had better. *The pad Thai was pale and dry without any flavor. *The Crab Rangoon was just any typical Chinese fast food and nothing exciting. *The sesame chicken didn't taste like sesame chicken but some type of chicken covered in sauce. *The Moo Goo Gai Pan tasted like just steamed chicken and vegetables. *The Szechwan Chicken was Szechwan at all but some sweet sauce. They shouldn't call it Szechwan if they can't make it Szechwan. Also it wasn't spicy at all. Just sweet. *the Thai style fried rice was just any typical fried rice. Overall, I don't recommend going here and I didn't take pictures because non of these dishes left a memorable impact except how disappointed I was. read more

I usually enjoy this establishment but walked in today at 2:20 not realizing they close soon. I was told that I could still place an order. Ordered Thai Chicken Fried Rice and received Chicken Fried Rice only. I am sure there is a price difference and the fact that I even left a tip has a bad taste in my mouth. No worries Fresh Bowl...you got me this time but there are too many Thai/Chinese restaurants to choose from. I still expect exceptional service if you still choose to serve me at closing times. read more

I've been craving pad Thai for days. Even though I saw bad reviews about this place, I thought it wouldn't be that bad as there are also so many good reviews. I decided to give it a try. Oh man! I can't express how much I regret that decision. I've had crappy pad Thai in college but this is beyond the world. I ordered a shrimp pad Thai and a Thai ice tea. As you can see in the picture, the noodles have no color, no sauce, under cooked, and no flavor of pad Thai. It's like the cook did not even try to use the tamarind sauce. The Thai ice tea is another bad story. It tastes like an overly sweet ginger water. I can't even taste the milk (maybe they use powder milk or creamer)... I'm so disappointed with the quality of the food I got... I will not go back to here. You can try at your own risk but you're warned. read more
