I've been here a half-dozen occasions and frankly don't have too much to say as I thought I would. I'll start with the positives: the portions are HUGE and the servers have always been prompt and very friendly. However, I don't think they warrant more than the current 3.5 star rating because the food is fairly pedestrian. Servings are big, but the flavors are never particularly distinct. Nothing has been bad but nothing has knocked it out of the park either. Another negative is that the preparation of the dishes seems to vary from night to night, probably due to different chefs. Something as simple as a grilled fish comes out fairly different on different nights. It's a safe option, but one I'm never excited to go to. Come with an appetite or be ready for leftovers. 4-6pm is happy hour with $5 appetizers that are the same as the normal portion, so that's always a good option. read more

Love this place! Amazing food & lots of fun! Always crowded but definitely worth the wait!

I have been coming here for years! This place has the BEST food and drinks!!! With that being said I stopped coming for a bit due to the service! Today Sandy was our waitress and she was the best waitress we have ever had here. Thank you ! read more

Great place for eat in or take out. Limited sushi right now due to staffing. I've eaten about 70% of the menu items. Not much that hasn't been excellent to great! *order the "lunch special" to go and you get a small salad, wonton and Rangoon with a slightly smaller main portion. Perfect dinner! read more

We love the bar side during the NFL season. They offer great drinks and app specials all week long. For dinner we sit on the restaurant side and enjoy be served by Sandy. When she is not working are go to is Oliver, he is really attentive and his professionalism is top tier. Everything is good here but I must say I think they have the best Orange Chicken I've ever tasted. Their lunch specials are a great deal during the week and portion sizes are big. read more

Food is absolutely delicious! I tried the beef / steak salad (not the Larb-ground beef)... The dressing was phenomenal Going back today for the garlic noodles! read more

I got the yellow curry and it was delicious. Food was great however there was a bit of delay on the service.

Amazing Calamari and high quality seafood fried rice and Thai tea! Definitely coming back!!

I been going to this place for about 10 years now and I must say, the food is DELICIOUS and service is awesome! My favorite is the beef Grapow spicy and their shrimp spring rolls with the peanut sauce are to die for!!! I highly recommend this place for some authentic Thai food. The ambience is pretty chill, but they have a bar side and they play music and also have karaoke nights. read more

We love the staff, food and atmosphere. Even our fellow diners were great company on a football Sunday. They have Sunday ticket so it does get busy so get there early if you want seats in the bar area. Food was amazing! read more

My husband and I stopped here on a weeknight, and it was quite busy. With that being said, the service was quick and on point. The server was pleasant and focused on her job. After ordering there was no wait for our soup, which was flavorful, (a little spicy for my husband), and hot temperature wise. As soon as we finished our soup, the food arrived right on schedule. Everything was DELICIOUS. I had the staple yellow curry with potatoes and onions, I think I added pork as my protein, rather than the usual chicken and that made it that much better. All in all, this was one of the better Thai places we have found in the area and plan on visiting many times in the future. Thank You Grapow Thai. read more

Love it!! Food is the best! And service is awesome! The bar can use a little lesson in customer service though.

While traveling in the local area on business, a friend recommended this place and I was glad I tried it! Dark and cozy, this place just oozed ambiance and I was quickly seated. It seemed as if one side of the restaurant is a sports bar while the other side is a quiet, sit-down establishment. Whatever you're looking for, this place has it! The wait staff was VERY good, recommending the Pad Gra Pow with Chicken. They told me it was spicy, but left the spice scale up to me. I chose a "5" out of 10, but wish I would have gone higher as the 5 was not spicy enough for me. However, I still appreciated them letting me choose. A very good dish...actually, it was amazing and I ate every morsel on my plate! Will definitely be back! read more

We keep returning because the food is amazing. Everything we have has been great. We always order the cheese balls for an appetizer. The only reason I cant give five stars is because the service it always sub par. Its not horrible but cane definitely use improvement. read more

Always my go to spot when I'm in the mood for Asian cuisine, the food here is amazing, been coming here for over 4 years and they never disappoint read more

When I used to live in Riverside, I would frequent this place. They have expanded and upgraded which is nice. I came to try some suhi rolls that were highly recommended, but unfortunately they only serve sushi at dinner... kinda weird. So after this dissapointment we decided to have some appetizers. We had the tuna tartare that was really tasty and served with warm baguettes. The chicken slammer was great. Unique flavors with seasone ground chicken and sweet sauce on top. Great dish. Thai tea was not as sweet as I remembered. They should really have sushi all day since they have an entire sushi bar in my opinion. read more

Gra Pow - Chicken Slammer - Thai Near Me - Riverside, California

We have been going here forever. The cost is fair for the quality of the food. This afternoon we got take out and we had an issue with the card machine, it took literally 3 minutes to give the girl a receipt. Not a big deal but I was already in a hurry. Also no salads in our lunch specials. If you have ever had the salad dressing there you know that not getting the salad is a bummer. This is the only disappointment in a lot of years of eating here. Probably just a off day. read more

August 27th we sat down at 340 and got water right away. Servers walked by us at least 5/6 times and never said a word. The blonde made eye contact with me at least twice. After 20 minutes we got up and left. I understand busy but that felt disrespectful. read more

The service is great here quick and easy. Great indoor ambiance as well. The food I ordered was delicious. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Gra Pow - Pot stickers - Thai Near Me - Riverside, California

I am speaking to my cell phone for this review so forgive my lack of punctuation and sometimes making any sense but Grapow is amazing! I think this place is awesome the food is especially good and be careful it can be so spicy as to make your food an edible attack On your taste buds. If you like food and you like Asian food you will like this if you don't there's probably something wrong with you. Period. (I had to edit the name - when I said it Siri heard "group pal") read more

Looooove the food here, its always fresh here. Just a little bit pricey though so be prepared to spend dome money. The beer selection is rotating so every time you come there are new options to select from. The service is top quality, you actually feel like your a valued guest and not just another opportunity for money. Depending on what time of the day you go, there may be a fairly long wait. Since its such a desirable spot the dinner tine rush van be tremendous. But if your in the mood for authentic asian food this is the spot for you! read more

One of the few places out here that stay open pretty late for food and drinks. This place was pretty crowded and upon walking in, there was no hostess or server so we had to pretty much sit ourselves. Ended up walking to find a server before getting menus and ordered from the happy hour menu, since there were no other menus at the time. The server was friendly and running back and forth, so you can tell they are understaffed here. Ordered the Lavender Lycheetini, a glass of red wine (Cabernet), chicken satay and gyoza. The food and environment was pretty subpar. It took about half an hour before the food came out cold. The chicken satay was hard and dry, making it hard to bite off without a fork. The gyoza tasted cold, dry and crispy (not in a good way). The drinks were pretty good and got stronger near the bottom, so definitely be mindful of that cause it might just creep up on you. Overall, service was friendly, but very slow and the food took a long time. Not sure if I'd come back after this experience. read more

Great food, SLOOW service. I often go for lunch and am amazed at how slow the service is. It's like they don't realize people need to get back to work. If you go, be prepared to wait an hour for your food. read more

This is my go to place , it's very yummy and always hits the spot . My fav is the tiger steak !!! Definitely recommend

Where delicious flavors collide with chaotic service. The food sings with spice, but the service hits a sour note. Lately, it's been a bit of a circus; they claim they called about our reservation, but we never got a ring. Whether it's poor reception or just plain old miscommunication and lies, Grapow, you've got some serious catching up to do. The unprofessionalism and inconsistent wait times only add to the frustration. read more

Excellent service food and service great nothing but good quality overall no more to add

This place should show $$$$ instead of $$! Can't believe how expensive this place is! It's not like it's in Newport beach with an ocean view or anything. In fact the atmosphere is a step above a fast food restaurant. We only ordered three dishes and three alcoholic beverages and the bill came out to over $100.00 including tip! That's crazy for some Thai fusion place in the middle of Riverside!! Thai fried rice is JUST rice with some canned lump crab in it and they charged $20.00. idk maybe I should have gone over the bill, maybe it was the wrong bill, but it came out to be $88.00 dollars and some change!!! Never will I even think of this place again! The drinks were two Moscow mules and a glass of wine. They first brought me the Moscow mule in a glass instead of the copper mug which makes it a Moscow mule and had to return it. I was pissed all night. It really put me in a very bad mood!! read more

Love the vibe, but love the food even more! Even offer fresh sushi! Their Korean tacos our delicious! But everything on the menu is delicious! Can't get enough!!! read more

Tried it out for my first time and WOW. The food was amazing service was good Margie was amazing. The patio was nice and comfortable. The cream cheese puffs were to absolutely die for. 10/10 definitely coming back read more

Gra Pow - Pepper beef!! - Thai Near Me - Riverside, California

I've gone here on a few occasions since it's a nice Thai restaurant for celebrations. If you are going at night, especially during the weekend, expect for there to be a bit of a wait time for you. Their options are mostly Thai food, but I noticed on the back of their menu they serve sushi as well. I've only ever tried their Thai food so I can't really comment on their sushi. They do have a selection of drinks at their restaurant and I think that's what attracts people the most, especially the younger crowd. The food itself is good. I'm not sure if you'd consider I it authentic Thai food, but it's good. They put an overwhelming amount of vegetables with your meal and I'm not saying I don't like vegetables, but we ordered the house fried rice and my mom asked where the fried rice was followed by my dad looking at one of the dishes saying "we didn't order that." But it was the fried rice, it just looked like a plate of vegetables. It was actually really good, and our first time trying it. We also order pad see ew, Tom yum, larb, and pad Thai. Everything was really good. I suggest this place if you want that nice Thai restaurant vibe, but I don't really like having to wait so long to be seated so I personally prefer going to the smaller mom and pop Thai restaurants lol read more

It took an hour just to be seated the food took a long time and it wasn't even that good I'm not hating guess hire better employees

I highly recommend everything was delicious and tasted fresh. The bar side next door was cool. We had dinner on the diner side then went to have a drink next door they played all kids of music from jukebox. Great time with my friends anywhere we go. read more

Great food and atmosphere! Service is good and the menu has a great variety to choose from.

So I just read the review from an actual restaurant owner and it was pretty on-point. I'm a local so all I know is that the portions are rather small for the price, and not everything is good. My experience was with the sushi. It took forever to make my food. Same with my daughter... slso sushi. I've had some good times meeting friends on the bar side so they have that going. Plenty of screens if you came to watch a game. A cool long community table where you can meet new people across from you... but back to the food... I always ask what is good and I've heard and tried the pot stickers as an appetizer, the curry chicken, and there's a soup on the bar menu... they're all ok, but just that. Nothing to avoid, but don't go if you're in a hurry or are terribly hungry. Otherwise, it's a cool place. read more

This place is a mix of traditional Thai food but with a contemporary, hip vibe. One side of the restaurant is the traditional Thai side and the other side is a sushi bar with a liquor bar as well. However, you can order food from both sides. This place is unique and they also have great lunch specials with an outdoor patio as well. read more

Gra Pow - Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Riverside, California

This place is great to chill with the homies & drink. I don't think I would ever go to eat. The service isn't that good.

I really like the feel of this place with the ambiance, the bar, TV and outdoor seating. It's not like other Thai places in Moreno Valley/Riverside. Only drawback - the Pad Thai and Pad See Ew were not that tasty :( The Pad Thai lacked sauce because it was pretty dry & the heavy amount of julienned carrots on top did not help. So taste on the 2 most sought-out dishes for me were not great. I want to really like this place because the service was good, the crab fly lice was great, the basil eggplant was a winner & the beverage cups were huge! I also liked that the lunch specials were valid on the weekends (big plus!) So it has potential to be a 5-star review in my books if slight changes can be made. read more

Arrived expecting it to be busy since it's Saturday. Was pleasantly surprised by open seating in the bar for our party of 4. Our server made her way over and took our drink & appetizer orders. One appetizer came out quickly (from sushi bar). When this was dropped off we ordered more drinks as we were nearly done with them. We waited 25 min; finally had to go up to the bar to order. The bartender realized we were at a table and sent our drinks over. (Still no sign of server) Dinner orders started coming out, (from sushi bar) and dumplings finally came out. (Part of appetizer order). After 2 of our party of 4 were nearly done with their dinner, a hot meal came from Kitchen, but only one. We asked about the other meal and the young lady who brought it agreed to check. She came back and said it would be a bit longer because there was another ticket ahead of ours. (Our ticket where all food already been brought out but one). I can completely understand later orders and empty drinks when places are busy; That wasn't the case tonight. Neighboring tables received food and drinks right away and their server was attentive to ensuring a nice experience and meal. That wasn't the case with our serve Victoria. If not for the good food this would have been an even more disappointing evening. read more

Food, service, and staff was amazing. Would definitely recommend. All the dishes that were ordered were amazing!
