    Thai BBQ is one of my favorite foods, so I decided to try the Carson location. We arrived around 7:30 PM and were told they closed at 8:30, with the kitchen closing at 8:15. I understood and told them we would be quick. From the beginning, I felt rushed while ordering. When my beef satay arrived, it looked fine on top, but the bottom was clearly burnt and tasted burnt. When I politely told the server, he became defensive and argued that "that's how the grill is supposed to look." At that point, I lost my appetite and asked for my Pad Thai to go. If they didn't want to take dine-in customers that close to closing, I would have completely understood. But accepting us and then rushing us and arguing over burnt food made the experience very disappointing.

    This guy is so rude, it's my second time i encounter 1st it was over the phone but this time in person. He even flip me off on the way out!

    Chicken Sate

    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.

    Garlic spare ribs

    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.

    1.00 for a tiny portion of cucumber - wow!
    Rosa R.

    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!

    Mean host/waiter
    Anthony T.

    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

She didn't know how to process an exchange and redo the order., and if your phone line was only working so I can call in to tell them to remove the onions, none of this would've happened, You should empower your staff and give them the authorization to do things when you're not around, so this kind of screw-up doesn't happen again. I'm irritated, This is not how I wanted to spend my weekend.

    I love when good places come to the Gardena area. My friend and I came for dinner on a Sunday…read morearound 5 pm and were greeted by the nicest server. We were the only ones there so seating was easy. The inside is on the smaller side with about 4 tables and 1 high top. Mentioning this in case you arrive when it's busy so no one gets frustrated *thumbs up*. Anyway, as we looked through the menu, it's small but mighty, we ordered their fried tofu and it was delicious! Perfectly fried with that crunch on the outside and softness on the inside. The dipping sauce (sweet with crumbled peanuts) was amazing! We finally settled on food and I ordered the crab fried rice and my friend ordered the kapow fried egg. Everything was delicious! My thai tea was PERFECT! a great balance of black iced tea, sweetness, and dairy! I'm so glad that Gardena has this gem. It's in a smaller sized plaza so if you don't find parking you'll have to look for street parking but that hassle is worth the dining experience. Do yourself a favor and visit this gem!

I ordered the chicken pad Thai along with the mango sticky rice, and both were AMAZING. The pad Thai was fresh, flavorful, warm, and packed with a really good balance of sweetness and savory flavor. The chicken was tender and the noodles were cooked perfectly. And the mango sticky rice?? SO good. The mango was sweet and juicy, while the sticky rice was soft, creamy, and super satisfying. Definitely one of the highlights of the meal for me! My manager picked everything up as takeout, and despite being to-go, the food still arrived fresh, warm, and delicious. The portions were also really solid. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because I didn't get the chance to dine in and experience the atmosphere/service in person, but based on the food alone, I would absolutely order from here again. Definitely worth trying if you're in the Carson area and craving Thai food!

Truly this was the BEST Thai food we have ever tasted. Every single dish was better than the last one. Every thing was seasoned just right. From the fresh and crisp Spring rolls to the Spicy dumplings, and the our delectable, savory Pad Thai. Our Drunken Noodle dish, we ordered mild in spice level, but was mouth watering and delightful! We mentioned it to our friends, who were also here for the same convention, one couple ordered Door Dash the other 5 tried it and every single one of them were not dissatisfied.
