Late post but worth sharing. I just wanted to take a moment to shout out the amazing staff at this Thai BBQ spot, especially C, who went above and beyond for us. We called on a Sunday after church, in a bit of a rush, and asked if we could place our order ahead of time since we had somewhere to be. Not only was our food ready when we arrived, but it was already set up at our usual table. That kind of thoughtful service really made our day! C and the team didn't just prepare our meal, they remembered exactly where we like to sit and made sure everything was perfect. It's rare to find a place where the staff genuinely remembers their regulars and treats them like family. We left feeling so appreciated and cared for. Thank you again for the outstanding hospitality! As always, we enjoyed everything we ordered. We always order S1 which is the bbq chicken meal, spare ribs, pad thai, chicken noodles - no vegetables, extra noodles. they always accommodate our special requests. The restaurant is kept clean and the ambiance is always comfortable and relaxing. This is our go to restaurant, our kids love the food here so we will be back again and again. read more

Stopped by for dinner on a Friday evening. I had the chicken sa-te dinner which was overall lackluster. The chicken itself was fine but I have had many better sa-tes. It came with a large side of shrimp fried rice - the rice tasted pretty plain (but tinted pink) and had just two shrimps. I did love the cucumber salad/dip and peanut dipping sauces. I felt that the price around $21 was a bit steep but it did come with 8 skewers which was a hearty portion so that helped balance the price. Many of these reviews mention bad service. My service was totally good! Our server was attentive and nice, no issues. Overall, nothing really wowed me enough to return but it was good enough. read more

Thai Original BBQ Carson - Chicken Sate - Thai Near Me - Carson, California

Came in for a high school lunch reunion. We had reserved tables and ordered several dishes. The servings were huge and full of flavor. The tom yum soup had a nice balance of sourness and spice. The green papaya salad with mango was refreshing. The barbecue chicken with shrimp fried rice was tender and came with honey sauce. The garlic spare rib was garlicky. The gulf of Siam was a seafood delight. The beef pad see ew had was not chewy nor sticky. All of our dishes were under $20. They even have weekday lunch specials. read more

If I had to pick my favorite restaurant in Carson, it would definitely be this place! Maybe it's the nostalgia talking, but I've been eating here since high school and it never disappoints. Everyone loves the S8 chicken or beef sticks, and yes...they're tasty, especially with that amazing peanut sauce. But my personal go-to has always been the S1 BBQ chicken. Their take on the BBQ sauce is sooo good, it's got this sweet, almost honey-like consistency that pairs perfectly with the chicken and their signature pink/orange fried rice. They even add two shrimp in there, sounds minimal, but honestly, it's the perfect amount. I also highly recommend trying their Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, and the Tom Yum soup, total comfort food. They recently remodeled, and while I do miss the old little train they used to have running above, the new look feels much fresher and brighter. read more

I came here by accident and it was ok. I did like the decor and the chairs were very comfortable! When I arrived there was only one person dining. That always makes me nervous but I've been to a chain location before. Anyway I ordered they were quick and food was ok. Problem was rice was actually cold. I had the chicken satee and the chicken was so dry and hard. I asked for another cucumber sauce and mind you it was tiny. To my surprise I was charged 1.00. Really? You charge extra for a few cucumber chunks ?? That's very petty and ridiculous! read more

While some days are better than others. I gotta say their food is the best in town. The service is nice when you sit down to eat. They really renovated the place and it looks a lot more cozy and minimalistic, which is ideal. I'm addicted to their shrimp fried rice and my go to's are either the S1 or S2. Can't go wrong with either. read more

Still the one. Sure they're going through some things, but this is that boo that you can always count on. Be careful of the outdoor extension cords, but they installed a luxury portable bathroom during the remodel. If you can make it past that, come inside and see they've update all the booths. Menu is still a classic. There are a few new additions. Good enough to have you reminiscent... read more

I'm surprised they haven't closed this place down yet. The service is a -1/10. Called to place an other but they couldn't understand over the phone so I went there in person and the host/waiter was rude when I pointed out which one I wanted off the menu. Please see the picture below. Food: has gone from a 4/5 to 2/5. Ambiance: simple read more

It's been a while since I've been to the Carson Thai BBQ. I visited a few weeks ago for a phone order and was very surprised to see the interior had changed so much (I believe they are under new management now). Not only that, but staff is extremely friendly and the man at the front even helped to bring my order to my car. The food tasted amazing as well. Stop by-- it's different than how it was a few years ago! read more

Thai Original BBQ Carson - Interior - Thai Near Me - Carson, California

I've been coming here since I was about 4 years old and has always been my favorite spot for Thai food. Was a little jaded by the current reviews BUT Just went back today for New Years to check it out with my family and want everyone to know the negative reviews are BS. It is reminiscent of my childhood and tastes so delicious. The rice is back to the nice orange color and delicious flavor! The bbq is soft and the crab fried rice is meaty ! The wings of angel is crispy and thick with meat. The pad Thai is really really good! And to mention the bad reviews abt the waiter, I don't know where that has come from. He was very attentive and kind. The renovation is also really beautiful! Nice ambience. So happy we came read more

Rude staff! I called about 20 minutes before they closed to place an order for takeout. The person over the phone (old man with glasses; co-owner) reminded me that they close at 8:30 pm and warned me I needed to arrive by then if I wanted to place an order. The tone of his voice sounded rude and abrupt, which was disappointing. When I arrived at the restaurant, there was no greeting or welcoming attitude. Instead, I was simply given the price without any friendly interaction or assistance. It felt quite impersonal and unwelcoming. While I understand closing times can be strict, I believe better customer service and a more courteous attitude would greatly improve the customer experience. I hope they can work on their customer service to make future visits more pleasant. read more

I've been coming here for years, not in the last 5 honestly but Thai BBQ has always been my favorite. This location got a major upgrade from the last time I was there but the food is still SO GREAT! Literally will forever love Thai BBQ Carson! read more

3/19/2024 around 7pm! Very Disappointed!! Please Read! The online website states they close at 8:30pm, Yelp states they close at 9:30 pm. I was trying to call around 7:15pm to put a togo order and I literally tried & called 20 times!!!! Nobody picked up and I had to go in person. So they Do Not want to make Money or Sell to Customers. I also realized their combination soup is not to the original recipe like the other Thai BBQ chain they have. They put carrots and whole large mushrooms to deter from putting more meat, ect. I live in carson and I drive all the way to cerritos to eat Thai BBQ because this carson location is just going cheap with stuff and not the same. Very dissatisfied and dissapointing. Please take your money elsewhere and support other businesses who care, Honest truth. Please see pic with call log, called (20) times with no answer and they were open on a weekday!! read more

I was going to dine in for lunch today at around 12:30pm. I waited for the gentleman ahead of me to be seated. The waiter then approached me and I told him table for one. I asked to be seated in the other room and was told it was being used for a meeting. The waiter suggested I sit on the table closest to the main door as you come on and I politely requested to sit on the corner with the same amount of seats as he was offering me. He said and this is the waiter who is bald and Asian, "well if I sit you there, and 5 people come in, they wont have a place to sit" which was false. The table i was asking to sit only seated four and the table next to me seated five. So I said respectfully, Im good and walked out and he had a smirk on his face as I said that. New management needs to train their waiters better. The waitress who has been there for a long time is no longer there and I wonder why. read more

7/17/2025 - Got there at 2:12pm. Saw host smoking outside the restaurant. We did not know He was the host. We waited at the host stand until 2:34pm. The smoking host finally came in quickly said oh we close at 3pm. We asked if we can still eat and he said if you can order and eat within 30 mins yes. Nobody is gonna be here in 30 mins. He quickly gave us a unwelcoming vibe. We ended up leaving. Terrible service he didn't even offer any alternative. I've been coming here for years. The male host had terrible customer service. read more

Had some spare ribs with my coworkers for lunch today. We came in around noon and immediately my coworker comments on their new aesthetic, which happens to not be so new anymore. The Clean tables and chairs seemed to be maintained well. The ribs were between tender and tough but closer to the latter. I didn't really enjoy the "fried rice" and there wasn't anything super special about the salad. Overall, the meal was decent and I would come back for something thats not a lunch special. read more

Was visiting from Hawaii and love Thai food. So my folks decided to take me over here. We ordered almost half of the menu as me and my family loves to eat. Food was amazing except for the plain rice. It was cold and dry. The Asian waiter was HORRIBLE!!!!!!! And very RUDE. The papaya salad came with a spoon so I asked for a fork. He gives me the fork and throws the spoon to the other table. Literally threw it! I was so shocked! He kept blabbering we close at 3pm so just letting you all know. My uncle and I had our drink but he didnt even bother to give my mother her drink. When he got the order half way there he cuts us off says hold on let me put in and goes to his iPad and asks our orders again. Papaya salad was so spicy, I let him know that on the menu it didn't a pepper sign and he cuts me off and says let me call the chef I can't explain that for you. The nerve! I have never encountered a waiter like him till today! Horrible horrible. You should hire someone else. He doesn't deserve to represent your restaurant. It's because of him that I'm placing 1 star. Without him I would've gladly placed 5 stars! read more

I have tried Thai Original BBQ at other locations but this was my first time trying the Carson location. I came during my lunch hour on a Monday and it wasn't crowded so I was seated right away. There was 1 lady working the floor but she was very nice and would stop by frequently to check up. I ordered a beef satay appetizer and for entree I opted for the Ruby Cornish hen. The satay was very flavorful and surprisingly one of the better satays I've had. The beef had a nice char on it with complimented to dipping sauces well. The Ruby Cornish hen was delicious and fired perfect, the texture was more of a tempura type batter. Given the proximity to my office and the fact that everything was super fast to arrive I definitely see myself stopping by again in the future. read more

Thai Original BBQ Carson - S11 Chicken Ruby Dinner - Thai Near Me - Carson, California

I have been coming here for many years since I used to live in Carson. I decided to take my son and aunt here last week. The server was so nice. We requested to sit close to the aquarium and they let us sit right next to it. Then the server showed my son how to feed the fish and even gave him some pellets so he can do it. The aquarium is brand new and no longer situated in the front of the restaurant. The food is good and the bbq chicken still tastes the same as always. This is what they are known for. I look forward to coming here again. read more

Thai Original BBQ Carson - Shrimp Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Carson, California

Stopped by here after picking up my mom From Long Beach. We were the second group that entered the resto. The bad: 2 more groups came in but the server took their orders first. She was also taking to go orders from other customers . I basically stood up and went to the counter to remind her that she hasn't taken our orders yet. The resto is filthy. The walls haven't been cleaned and there are big flies trying to land in our food. The good: Their that barbecue chicken Would I ever come back ? No because if you can't maintain the resto clean - there is no assurance that you prep your food in a clean environment. Both my hubby and my mom ordered Thai chicken bbq read more

Great staff good food excellent environment!! Found this place by accident one day glad I stopped by for a meal

A new look inside and outside doesn't mean everything else has improved. Unfortunately, the portions of all food has been reduced as prices has increased. Food quality is the worst of all! The look and taste is different compared to previous ownership/management from years ago. If another management change happens (again), they need to solve all issues that have been going on ever since. read more

Great family own restaurant. Quick service and clean in my opinion. Service was fine. We were a big group for a small restaurant so it was alot for them to handle that day, not sure if low staff or what was the case. It was a two man show, but for a two man show it service was fine and food was great! read more

The portion of food is very inconsistent each time I order. My first visit with friends was great. The serving was humongous but when I ordered Togo the 2nd and 3rd time, the portion (S1 & S2 ), the meat was considerably smaller cuts compared to the first. WHY? read more

So so good. BBQ chicken was very good Pad see-ew was delicious Pad Thai was very good Crab- fried rice I would rate a Ok, not the best I've had. A 5 star crab fried rice will have fluffy rice with every bite with shredded real crab meat and not smell fishy. Customer service was GREAT for take out. Thai tea- Tea was good but the Boba is a - first time ever had crunchy, hard as rocks boba that I had to spat out, ruined my tea experience!!!! read more
