    Padthai
    Jheno C.

    Came here on a Tuesday night around 8, it wasn't too busy so we were seated right away. We ordered our usual which was padsee ew, padthai and pineapple fried rice. We also ordered pork skewers for the kids. Everything was great, service was good, food came out quickly, filled our waters without asking etc. Food was also very delicious, my kids loved the pork skewers. Auto gratuity was added at 15%.. It was just my family, 2 adults and 4 little kids... Not sure why it was automatically added to our bill.. then they also asked for tip on top of that.. didn't sit with me well.. other than that, everything was good.

    Second time coming here. Service was good. Food was delicious. The only reason why I took a star away is because my friend and I got the runs afterwards. We both ordered the shrimp tum yum soup. I had also ordered their veggie noodles to go. Had that for lunch the next day, and also gave me the runs.....idk if I dare to go back....

    Thai Ice Tea

    My family has had Mix Bowl in the past and always enjoy their food. We decided to for a small road trip and have it for dinner. They are located in Pomona on Indian Hill Blvd. Parking should not be an issue, but depending in the time of day in my personal opinion. We get there and we had to wait for us to be seated. The staff member took us to our seat and gave us the menu. Since we knew what we wanted, we ordered: Thai Iced Tea, Pad Thai, Side of steam white rice, Combination Fried Rice and Beef Pad-See-Ewe. Pad Thai comes with: Small rice noodle stir fried with egg, choice of protein, bean sprouts, and green onions. Combination Fried Rice comes with: Fried rice with onion, tomato, egg, chicken, squid, and Shrimp. Pad-See-Ewe comes with: Flat rice noodle scrambled with egg, black soy sauce and Chinese broccoli (choice of beef, chicken or pork. While we were waiting for our order, I was looking at the ambiance on inside and I like that it has a lot of light, especially at night. It's a small restaurant that feels warm and cozy When our order was coming, I could smell and taste the freshness. More importantly, the dishes were hot as soon as they were prepared. Love and enjoyed the combination of flavors and the Thai Tea was just the right drink to top it off. Our overall experience was great and the service received was good. In my personal opinion, I would recommend Mix Bowl Cafe, if you are looking for some good and affordable Thai Food. They also take orders for pick up as well. We definitely will be back.

    Spicy Catfish. My favorite.

    It's been a while since I was here last. The food and customer service is still great as it was. My sister's and I enjoyed our time. The food was delicious. My favorite is the Spicy Catfish. We also ordered seafood fried rice, shrimp Tom Yum Goong, Pad-see-ewe, and several food to-go for my nephews. My sister was very happy with her water being refilled. Lol. Thank you. The place has definitely had some upgrade and the space looks good inside and outside parking lot had some improvement. Thank you to the server who took our order, and Isala for an excellent service making sure we had everything we needed.

    The service here is really good, I've been going here since I was little and the food is just as good as I remember very flavorful and I love their chili sauces. The papaya salad is my favorite item here. The decor is a little outdated but I feel like it fits the place, it's very nostalgic.

    15. Wonton Soup , kid loved it.
    Al C.

    I had the spicy yellow curry as I've been craving it for a while. I can honestly say it was very tasty. I added some chili for that extra punch and I was in heaven. The ambiance was relaxing as the colorful walls and lighting adds a touch of fun to the night. Service was great . Not too talkative but ready to take your order and service your needs . It's been a while since I ate here and I am definitely coming back to dive into other dishes as I have not been disappointed. In area stop on by and grab a dish of your liking, Recommend It.

    We've been coming to Mix Bowl for the longest time. This is a Thai restaurant, but my Thai tea tastes just like water, sugary and hard bobas. Food portion sizes and quality has gone downhill.

    Smells spoiled rice

    We order chicken fried rice, the rice smells bad spoiled, we complain and they bring it back to kitchen, but return the Same dish, no apologies just it is what it is.

    Craved yummy Thai food tonight so called in a take out order. They are always polite on the phone and read back your order to confirm. The food's always ready by the time I arrive 20 min later. I ordered a Tom yum soup (medium spicy), a glass noodle soup, pad see ewe chicken, and pad ka pow chicken on rice. Still hot when I brought it home, very tasty!

When we first walked in, the place looked empty, and my wife and I almost considered leaving. Just as we were about to head out, a server came over, seated us, and explained the menu. The $45 menu is extensive, featuring a wide variety of Vietnamese dishes such as escargot (ốc), pho, and bò né (Vietnamese sizzling beef steak), among many others. We ordered escargot with tamarind sauce, oysters with cheese, a lobster special, rau muống (water spinach) with garlic, glass noodles, and a ribeye steak. This isn't a typical buffet--each dish is cooked to order. It took about 15 minutes since there were only two chefs, but the wait was absolutely worth it. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served piping hot. The lobster was a whole lobster with claws, and the ribeye was a generous cut served sizzling at the table. The portions are large, and our server kindly warned us ahead of time--we're glad we listened! The owner was friendly, and the service was attentive throughout our meal. My wife and I loved this place and will definitely be coming back. It's great to have quality Vietnamese food nearby without having to travel all the way to OC.

    FANTASTIC PLACE FOR FOOD AND A PARTY!…read more I had the privilege of being invited to a party with some friends who had booked their event with Sea Queen Restaurant and I cannot deny that I was only impressed with the food, decor, staff, and the entire experience. If you are interested in booking your own event here, I recommend it. If you have no events coming up and just want some amazing food, still come here for that too! Amazing dishes are cooked and served here. It is mostly Vietnamese cuisine that you would find here, but hey... who doesn't enjoy this kind of cuisine? There is so much this restaurant has to offer. Not to mention there are weekly events; even a karaoke night. Lastly, if you enjoy sea snails, escargot, and don't want to drive out of the IE to the OC for some... just come here!

    To my taste, this is by far the best Star Crab location I've been to…read more The owner and staff were genuinely friendly and helpful from start to finish, which already sets the tone. The flavor and seafood were absolutely on point. My group of five ordered the Snow Star Family Bucket with Full House sauce, and everything came out fresh, well-seasoned, and generously portioned. Portions were solid and we all left very full and very satisfied. If I had to nitpick: The mild Full House sauce was a little spicy for something labeled "mild." Still tasty, just a heads-up for anyone sensitive to heat. The fried calamari was good flavor-wise, but it was a bit light on calamari and heavy on fries. Small side note: my wife and I love having boiled eggs with our seafood boil, but unfortunately they don't offer boiled eggs here. Not a deal-breaker, just something we personally missed. Overall though, great food, great service, and a spot I'd happily come back to again. Easily our favorite Star Crab so far.

We were seated right…read moreaway, but they initially placed us at a table in the middle that was too small for our group of six, so we requested a booth along the wall instead. They provided us menus, pretty straightforward; choose seafood, add sides for an extra cost, choose the flavor, and the spice level. One thing not noted on the menu is that shrimp isn't peeled, but they can peel them for an extra $6. And each order comes in pound increments. No half a pound offered. Your table is also covered with paper so you can eat the seafood boil from there. They provide bibs and gloves for no charge. Ultimately, we enjoyed our meals. Everything was flavorful and, unlike some other seafood boil spots, it didn't leave us feeling like we had heartburn afterward. There's a little sink for you to clean your hands at, which is nice since you dont have to wait for the restroom to empty. The service is what was a bit off. Like we asked for 3 Cajun fry boats but only received 2. Drinks were mixed up, and the clam chowder didn't arrive until about 20 minutes after our seafood bags had already been delivered. If you want ranch for your fries, they charge 60 cents for a small container. For drink refills, they bring a pitcher, but it's the kind typically used for measuring ounces. The server also tended to reach across one end of the table to grab empty cups or pass out food. Since I was seated at the end, it felt awkward having to help pass things down, especially since there were other access points to reach people in our party. We left around 920pm. I only mention it because we were the last group there, and we all noticed the heater seemed to have been turned on. Restaurant sign says open til 10pm on Sat. but we saw them turn off their open sign when we went outside. Needless to say, service could have been better.

The style, decor, music and ambiance was warm and inviting. The service was excellent, everyone was nice, friendly and worked well as a unit. Let's get to the food... I'll start by saying yes, yes and yes. From the appetizers to the desert.. spot on! To start we had cocktails. My wife had the Bayou Berry Smash, and I went with the Pecan Hips Old Fashion. The bartender did his thing on those cocktails. For the appetizer we chose Craw Fish Pies. The crust was buttery and flaky. There was just enough filling to get some in every bite. For the main courses, she chose the Sautéed Quater Catfish. She substituted the sauteed catfish for fried. The fish is served over a satuee of shrimp, crab, creole rice and ratatouille. It was exceptional! It was a big portion, but she ate every bit of it. Literally, no notes. I ordered the Crawfish St. Charles. A whole perfectly fried catfish filet on a bed of etouffée. The plating was beautiful and creative. There was a crawfish peeking through the curled end of the filet, which was fried to perfection. It was succulent, hot, crunchy, and juicy. That d!%# crawfish etouffée had me looking for a granny to walk out of the kitchen. It was sooo good, the perfect amount of spice and herbs, balanced with the gravy and crawfish and was perfect. We also ordered a side of red beans and rice. I had to try it, and it didn't disappoint. Once again they knocked it out of the park. The spice level, the texture of the beans and that smokey sausage hit the mark. To finish ourselves off we had the Croissant Beignets. All I can say is little pillows of heaven! We will most definitely pay them another visit. Pro Tip.. make sure you order the sausage with your red beans and Rice, the order doesn't come with it.
