I saw various social media posts hyping up their mango sticky rice so I was very excited to give them a try. However I was disappointed to be served with the wrong mango type. This is one of my favorite desserts and can't believe they had the audacity to pass off the dish without the champagne mango which is commonly found here. Normally I'm not nit picky but a tart mango simply doesn't pair with the sticky rice. All of their in-store photos posted with accolades pictured the champagne mango so I felt like I got duped. I'd prefer if they'd opt out of selling mango sticky rice whenever they don't have the appropriate mango type in stock. Was looking to make this my go-to spot but they lost me as a customer. read more

Gosh this place is so yummy and a friend-group favorite. Go-to is the chicken khai soi, a curry noodle soup. I always crave it because I can't often find it at other Thai restaurants! Also, mango sticky rice is a must. Need to know where they get their mangos, even on off season - they are always so sweet! Food comes out quickly and they also have a sister restaurant next door if you're not into soup. Only knocking off a star because it's a bit pricey. With tax and 15% tip, I spend $20 on one dish. read more

Sweet Rice - Mango Sticky Rice is a must order! - Thai Near Me - Gardena, California

I'm sure that everything at Sweet Rice must be good, but the Khao Soi with tofu that I had there today was so amazing that I will order it every one of the many times I plan to go there in the future! A friend and I chose Sweet Rice quickly before we explored Tokyo Central market, and I'm so glad we did. We were served quickly, the atmosphere was nice, and like I said, the food was amazing. My friend loved her shrimp soup, and I was so glad she gave me a little bit of the donut-like treat that came with it. I'm so glad I found such a great restaurant in this area, since it's about halfway between me and many of my friends. I can't wait to return! read more

My favorite Thai restaurant in the South Bay. The green curry is ABSOLUTELY DIVINE. The tomyum noodles are a tad too sweet for my liking but still delicious! read more

Once upon a time, this Faerie Queen stumbled upon this Michelin-rated, remarkable find! Oh my! The real taste of Thailand! We enjoyed the Thai omelet, beef khao soi, and (of course) the mango sticky rice - plus an extra to take home. All was delicious. Simple food and simply delicious. The end. read more

The tables are always clean, and the entire restaurant feels fresh and well-kept. read more

I'd been wanting to visit Sweet Rice in Gardena for a long time and finally made it here in January 2025. We came for lunch on a Saturday and got parking in the carpark easily- they're located in a strip mall with lots of spaces. Sweet Rice was already busy when we came in around 12 ish, but we luckily got one of the last remaining tables and were seated immediately. From looking at the menu, it's clearly a place for noodle lovers. They had many different varieties of noodles with dishes that I don't often see on another restaurant menus. My husband got the duck noodles and I got the tom yum boat noodles. Both were very flavorsome and were delivered to our table quickly. The duck noodles were in a smoky broth that tasted like it was soy-based and served with a thin rice noodle. My husband really liked these and I did too. The tom yum boat noodles were also excellent. The tom yum broth was a little sweet, and it came with fish balls and rice noodles. The ambiance here is simple and casual, and good for a quick meal. Service is abrupt but friendly. I'd recommend trying Sweet Rice and look forward to visiting again to get my Thai noodle fix. read more

Sweet Rice is a small, tucked-away Thai restaurant in the corner of a small shopping area/strip mall. The parking was ample on a weekday during lunch hour. The food, service, and clean modern decor make this place one of my top lunch spots now! Food and drinks are ordered via either kiosk or with the cashier. The lady who helped me and my party was friendly, patient, and polite. She explained the menu to us and we were all able to find dishes we liked and order quickly. The food came out pretty fast and the server brought out a caddy with various sauces and condiments. She was also kind enough to bring out some chili oil to spice up the Khao Soi, which is what I and another friend ordered. The Khao Soi was beautifully presented, came with a hearty variety of toppings and spices, and with the added chili oil, the perfect amount of spiciness for me. The curry soup was creamy and flavorful while the noodles were nice and tender. To top things off, for dessert we shared an order of Mango Sweet Rice. The mango was perfectly ripened and the rice was fresh, soft, and with the coconut sauce, a nice blend of sweet and salty that complimented the mango well! All-in-all, my party and I thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. I will definitely be back to try the rest of their menu! Thank you, Sweet Rice! read more

The food is sooo good we ordered the chicken khao soi and ba mee haeng and would get those again. The owner showed us how to eat the ba mee haeng and even told us what condiments to add for spicy, savory, or sour enhancers. Service was quick, they cleaned up for us right away we ended up ordering an extra mango sticky rice to go because of how good it was. They don't skimp on the portions at all u literally get a whole mango with a cup of rice and fluffy coconut cream read more

Their pad see ew is the best I've had in California! The way they fry the noodle with a hint of smoky flavor is very rare but it's the key for a good pad see ew. We went on a Saturday where they have more Thai dessert selections. I honestly wanted to get them all but will for sure make a trip back for more. The staff was very friendly and helping me choosing Thai dessert. We went to with little pandan moose and it was so good! Spacious restaurant and very family friendly. read more

You order at the counter and you'll receive a little buzzer to know when your order is ready. You can dine inside, outside, or even inside Bowl Thai Grill if other people in your party ordered food from there. (They allow it because they are sister companies!) What I've ordered so far: * Tom Yum Noodle- this one disappointed me a little-- the broth was neither spicy nor tangy and it was watered down. Wouldn't order this again... BUT * THE KAO SOI IS DELICIOUS! The yellow curry broth and the noodles mixed with all the add-ons make for a delicious bite! Have ordered this numerous times and it always hits the spot! read more

Sweet Rice - KAO SOI with chicken-- 10/10 - Thai Near Me - Gardena, California

This fast food restaurant has the best kao soi. The sauce/soup is not rich like other places, and it's perfectly seasoned. Their porridge with black egg served with fried chow quay is also good. Their mango and sticky rice dessert is also a popular item on the menu. If you like pad see ew and pad thai... you can order these at their sister restaurant across from them. read more

This was my 3rd time trying this place because I wanted to confirm whether my taste buds worked properly, and rest assured it definitely did not disappoint. They seemed to have increased their pricing from the previous times I tried them which made me a bit sad because i noticed inconsistencies: 5 different varieties of curry noodle ended up costing $84.83 the first time, 2 varieties of curry noodle totaled $45.17 the 2nd time. We didn't order dessert or drinks the first two times. Last visit burned $52.52 in my wallet, but still worth it on special occasions. I ordered the Chicken Khao Soi and Thai Iced Tea for myself, and a Mango Sticky Rice dessert with 2 cans of soda for my son. If you're a foodie, and appreciate a great curry noodle soup, it's worth a visit or more. read more

The mango sticky rice is amazing -- I honestly can't say enough about it. The rice is perfectly textured, not too sweet, with just the right amount of coconut. The mango is fresh, ripe, and naturally sweet. You really can't find this level of quality anywhere else in the South Bay. I was genuinely sad when my wife finished the last bite. That's how good it is. I just wish they had a location in Torrance! read more

Sweet Rice - Mango sticky rice. - Thai Near Me - Gardena, California

This is a Thai soup place. I wanted to have shrimp pad Thai or something, but only soups here. Rather than go to the place next door, as we were already seated, I just ordered dessert. It was delicious, as was my Thai tea with lime: CA Manaow. My friend enjoyed her soup, which she thought would be more spicy. It's a walk up and order kinda place. Then you sit at one of a few tables, and they bring you your dish. They also bus it after you finish. You're welcomed to serve yourself water. read more

Sweet Rice - Mango Sticky Rice - Thai Near Me - Gardena, California

Don't be fooled by this casual-looking spot inside a plaza strip mall; the food is top-notch. I have tried khao soi dishes across the U.S., searching for this dish with flavors matching what I enjoyed in northern Thailand. After *years*, I finally found it here. Everything here tastes like authentic Thai food. The curries are delicious, the khao soi is the best I've had outside of Thailand, and the coconut cream Thai iced teas are just scrumptious. Don't forget the mango sticky rice for dessert. Come hungry. Enjoy! read more

This is a sister to Bowl Thai and Bowl Thai Grill. Sweet Rice serves noodle soups and is known for their delicious sticky rice with mango. Like their other restaurants, you order at the counter and your meal is brought to you. My favorite noodle soups are their Tom Yum Noodle Soup and their Roast Duck Noodle Soup. My husband enjoyed their stewed pork dish which is savory and served with rice. I've heard that you can order from both Bowl Thai Grill and Sweet Rice and be served in one of the restaurants. So if you're looking for a variety of soup and stir fried dishes you can have the best of both worlds. Like I mentioned in my review of BT Grill, I can't decide which is my favorite! I like them both for different reasons. read more

Small, but popular Thai spot specializing in their Kao Soi curry noodles and other soup base dishes. They also have a sister restaurant, Bowl Thai, right next door that serves more rice and stir fry noodle bowls. I enjoy all their noodles soup, especially on a chilly day. I tried their Kao Soi along with their Boat Noodles which were both delicious and very comforting. The Kao Soi is a yellow curry soup base with egg noodles, veggies, and a choice of protein. The yellow curry is flavorful and I enjoy the noodle texture with the hint of citrus from the lime. The boat noodles remind me of a pho bowl, but with a stronger beef flavor from the beef blood broth and a generous amount of sliced beef. The ladies at the counter are very friendly and welcoming, and there are several tables available inside and outside. Dishes are on the pricier side here but the portions are pretty big and taste great! read more

Product was great, customer service wasn't. Had this store on my list for a while and finally tried it. There were many positive reviews, so I came in with high expectation. Unfortunately, the store left me with a bad first impression. I came at a non-peak hour and had the choice of choosing where to sit. When I selected my table, I was told to sit elsewhere, and it happened to be dirty! I was going to point it out (and I should've), but they seemed to have an attitude, so I didn't say anything. Instead, I waited 15 minutes at a dirty table and ate my meal there. Not a great experience. On a positive note, the food itself was great. Everything was fresh and flavors meshed well together. Not too salty nor bland. I would definitely order it again. As for ambience, tables are aligned against the wall and there's an area to self-serve yourself plates or condiments. Plenty of parking outside as the store's part of a big plaza. I generally tend to let customer service slide if the product is good. But the fact that I was reseated to a dirty table (and told that it "is clean"), really made me think about it. Hopefully it'll be better next time? read more

As to the wealth of idiosyncratic dining spots found in the South Bay 'burb of Gardena, they're hidden in plain sight and have been for years, but for the locals, of course!Exhibit B: Sweet Rice To be honest, I burned out on your standard Thai fare long ago, not because it isn't fabulous, but because it was maybe too fabulous for my own good! Now Sweet Rice has broken that spell. It's unlike any regional Thai cuisine that I've ever had, and totally unique. Don't trust me, trust the other reviews here as I did. I just ordered what they recommended and I can't stop thinking about it, it was that good. read more

The resto was super busy today (Wednesday.) I've never seen a line that went out the door. When we eat here during the week, after work, there's usually us and a few other patrons. We ordered our normal basil omelette and Thai tea. We also ordered the Penang Curry. However, the food took longer than normal to be prepared. Regardless, the food was delicious as always.

I like their sister restaurant, Bowl Thai Grill, so I decided to give Sweet Rice a try. I ordered a tom yum noodle soup. I've had this soup before from Bowl Thai and have always enjoyed it, but noticed that this time the broth was not as flavorful. It was actually a bit bland. I also ordered the Kao Soi and hainan chicken for my family and they enjoyed it. For dessert, I ordered a mango sticky rice. Although it was good, the price was ridiculously high at $11 something per order. For that amount, they could have made the serving a bit bigger. Instead it came with a small ball of sticky rice and 1 small sweet yellow mango. read more

Sweet Rice is literally one of my favorite Thai restaurants in town! I usually order the Khao Soi (kind of like a curry ramen) and it's always super delicious. Recently, I found out they serve Hainan chicken rice on Fridays, so I tried it -- and I loved it! Honestly, I wish I could eat their Hainan chicken rice every day, but it's only available on Fridays, which makes it extra special. Definitely a must-try spot! read more
