    I came back to Bowl Thai Grill to try more new dishes and they did not disappoint. The Kai Yang, Pork Larb and Kai Kua were authentic, savory and delicious. The staff were fantastic and friendly. Ambiance was casual and comfortable.

    I was looking for a place that offered healthy yet delicious food, and I was excited to give this restaurant a try. Thankfully, the food absolutely delivered. I ordered the Sakar grilled chicken with a salad, and it was outstanding. The chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy, and flavorful, while the salad was incredibly fresh and delicious. Every bite was enjoyable. My mother ordered the coconut shrimp soup, and she loved it as well. Unfortunately, what should have been a 5-star experience was significantly impacted by one staff member who was handling food orders and assisting at the front. After waiting quite some time and noticing that three groups who ordered after us had already received their food, I politely asked if he could check on the status of my order. My mother had nearly finished her soup by that point. His response was, "Well, if it was ready, you'd have it. It'll come when it's ready." The tone and delivery were unnecessarily rude and dismissive. Several nearby guests appeared surprised by the interaction as well. Throughout our visit, I also observed him interacting poorly with other staff members. He appeared impatient with the cashier, snatching items from her hands and speaking in a manner that came across as disrespectful. It created an uncomfortable atmosphere that stood in stark contrast to the excellent service provided by the rest of the team. I want to specifically recognize the cashier and another young lady working today, both of whom were friendly, professional, and even apologized for the situation despite it not being their fault. They were wonderful and helped. The food was excellent, and we enjoyed it enough that we even walked over to the sister dessert shop afterward for sticky rice. That's why this was so disappointing, the quality of the food and the kindness of the rest of the staff deserved a much higher rating. My only message to management is to please address this employee's customer service and professionalism. One negative interaction should not overshadow what is otherwise a fantastic dining experience.

    From the outside this place looks pretty basic, but I ended up really enjoying the food here. You order at the counter and then find a seat vibe. The food came out very fast too! I got the beef satay with sticky rice and papaya salad, and everything went so well together. The beef was flavorful, the sticky rice was a great balance to the papaya salad, and they have unlimited vinegar available which made the meal even better. I kept going back for more because it paired perfectly with everything. We also got the mango sticky rice for dessert and it tasted very fresh. The mango was sweet and ripe, and the sticky rice had a nice texture. They also have both indoor and outdoor seating.

    *** $10 minimum for credit cards *** Bowl Thai Grill is a fast-casual Thai restaurant and has the same owner as its next-door neighbor Sweet Rice. [Parking]: I had no issue finding parking as the plaza has a fairly large parking lot. [Ordering]: Customers place an order at the counter, grab a number, and wait for one of the employees to bring out the food. Once the meal is completed, there is a section to drop off empty plates right next to the cashier counter. [Menu]: Some of Yelp's top highlighted dishes are Papaya Salad, Pad Thai, and Beef Satay. Please note that Papaya Salad is one of the options that comes with Grill Entrée. For Grill Entrée, customers can pick a protein, choose white rice / sticky rice, and select either papaya salad / cucumber salad / garden salad. *** Beef Satay (Sticky Rice + Papaya Salad - $19.99): This order also came with peanut sauce. The beef satay and sticky rice were good. The papaya salad was solid & not too spicy, but the flavor profile was just alright. *** Overall this is a solid choice for fast-casual Thai food in Gardena.

    Food was good. Mango sticky rice beer was drinkable. Service was excellent; super friendly. The place was clean. Sweet Rice and this place are from the same owners. This place always has foot traffic when I have gone into Sweet Rice. It's a solid choice if Thai food is what you're craving. The beer being sold at $10 was overly priced.

    Take out tonight. It was soo flavorful #ChickenChowMein paired nicely with their blueberry soda

    So good! It was so fresh and flavorful. My first time but definitely not my last. I never had Chicken Chow Mein before and wanted something very veggie dense. This is perfect for a late night but still light meal.

    A thai gem hidden in the corner of Tokyo Central's marketplace area. Stick rice also next door their sister food spot. FOOD 4/5 - Basil stir fry came out quick 3/5 imo - Gai Yanang (chicken) sticky rice w/papaya salad 4/5 - recommend this one PARKING 5/5 Always ample parking within this shopping plaza SERVICE 4/5 Solid staff service from all members

    Gai yaang with papaya salad and white rice
    Melissa C.

    Quick, delicious food in a self-serve set up. You order up front, grab your own plates, utensils, water, sauces, and seat yourself. Huge parking lot so you won't have trouble finding parking :) There is a $10 minimum if you want to use credit card. Super fast service; it felt like we got our food in just 10 minutes! All the grilled meat dishes come with a choice of salad and rice. Gai Yaang: 5/5. So good! The chicken was very juicy, tender, and had a delicious charred grill flavor. The sauce tasted like the Pantai sweet and sour sauce but watered down. Moo Ping: 4/5. Pretty good, just tasted a bit strange with the sauce that came with it. Thai Ribs: 1000/5. Wow, my favorite out of everything we ordered! Soooo flavorful, tender, and moist. Salty and sweet, just the way I like it! I'm salivating just thinking about it, this dish is a NEED!!!! Papaya salad: 3/5. Not good - it needs way more lime juice and is missing the spice, dried shrimp, and fish sauce! The peanuts were not crunchy at all as well, so they seemed a bit old. The green papaya tasted very fresh though! The portions for the grilled meat dishes are not the biggest I would say. Maybe good for 1.5 meals at most!

    Crispy Pork & Chinese Broccoli Bowl
    Abigail D.

    Dropped by to pick up some food to-go and I really enjoyed my crispy pork & chinese broccoli bowl that came with rice and a perfectly fried egg on top. Service was excellent and I did not have to wait too long for my order. I'd definitely come back to dine in and try more off the menu.

    Moo Ping
    Stephanie H.

    Got the Moo Ping plate! It came with papaya salad and white rice. The meat was good, but the sauce it came with was a bit strange. It was like a sour sauce with a lot of citric acid in it. The papaya salad didn't taste like much, just fresh papaya, could've done with some more lime. Overall, 6/10. Water, plates, utensils, and to go boxes are all self service here. The parking lot is big as well. Would definitely come again to grab some good Thai food!

    Basil Fried Rice with Chicken
    Debbie F.

    Random find and I was very impressed. Starting with service...It's order at the counter. The menu's are nearby and and after a quick review of offerings, I was ready to order. An employee already came by and told us to ring the bell for service if no one was at the register. Easy and simple. Upon ringing the bell, an employee was in front of us within seconds. The food is affordable and at a great price point. Our meals were delicious. I loved the grilled chicken with peanut sauce (which was served on the side), paired with white rice and papaya salad. It was satisfying and flavorful! The other dish ordered by my husband was a fried rice. He enjoyed his as well, but next time would add more meat. Food came out fast, fresh and hot. I had left overs and it was easy to grab a box I needed from the counter. Employees were cleaning and very busy the entire time. The restaurant was clean, open and inviting. Plenty of parking in front as it is located in a large shopping center with multiple other food establishments, Tokyo central market, and more.

    Gai kua
    Ali I.

    I think same owners as bowl Thai (closed), sweet rice and the Thai hot pot. Bowl Thai was prop the best/most authentic Thai spot in the South Bay so this is also on par. I tried their gai kua and got it medium spicy. Just a note they do Thai spice levels so medium is more like spicy. If you don't like spice get no spice or mild. The dish was similar to pad see ew but no soy sauce and it had shiitake mushrooms which I love. Tasted amazing but only complaint is that it was mostly noodles. Not too much chicken or mushrooms which were very thin.

My son and I had an appointment nearby and he asked if we could have this for lunch. I'm always up for trying new places, so I agreed. We came in, and were welcomed by a tall gentleman at the entrance with, "Pick up?" I said no and he walked over to the cashier's side as he saw me perusing the menu; he asked if this was my first time. I confirmed and he went over the menu; which I appreciated. I opted for the broccoli cheddar baked potato bowl with steak and shrimp, while my son went for the spaghetti and meatballs. The gentleman was kind enough to offer us samples of the beverages. I really liked the orange drink, while my son loved the berry drink. I paid the check and then the guy asked if we were dining in or taking out; and I confirmed we would be dining in. This is where things went sideways. I completed my order at 12:03 but we didn't get our food until 12:25; then when we got our food, there were no drinks. I had to get up and line up to remind the cashier about the drinks. 22 minutes for these two dishes and then another three minute wait to get the drinks I ordered 25 minutes ago; that is overkill in my opinion. The whole process was confusing. I'm assuming the cashier was supposed to give us our drinks when I paid but he forgot. There was no explanation on how the process works. I assumed we would be called out by name, since he asked for my name while ringing up my order. The overall ambiance of the restaurant is nice. This was my first impression and though the lengthy delay and confusing experience didn't leave a great impression on me; the food was still tasty and if I do return, I will likely stick to take out.

It came with three pieces of rotisserie chicken, two sides, pita bread, and garlic sauce. For my sides, I got brown rice and potato salad. The chicken was delicious. It was flavorful and juicy. I also enjoyed the garlic sauce. It reminded me of a creamy tzatziki sauce except with a garlic punch. That being said, I didn't care for the brown rice which was bland, and the potato salad, which was too vinegary for my taste. The service was very good. The food was ready in a few minutes. Additionally, an employee brought the food out to me even though I ordered takeout, which was nice. I'm glad I didn't dine in. It was really warm inside the restaurant since they left the door wide open. Closing the door and cranking up the AC would make being inside the restaurant a more pleasant experience. If you like Zankou Chicken or Daphne's Greek Cafe, you're probably going like this place. They serve similarly tasty Mediterranean food. I will go as far as to say that I actually prefer this place over the other two chains since the service here is much faster.

It's literally like eating grandma's food when youre a young child. The spicy tuna came out first and we were shocked at how delicious the fish was. There wasn't a lot of rice which I appreciated and that fish had a bit of a kick. Pair that with some wasabi shoyu and you're tasting some real goodness. The spam musubi was solid with the furikake. My only gripe was that it had a bit too much rice which could have been better balanced with a thicker slice of spam. Regardless, it was solid. Now the star was the chicken combo. Boy oh boy, that Ladybug Fried Chicken was amazing. The batter had so much flavor and added to the juicy chicken. Pair that with you salad and mac salad.. oh my.. youre tasting a slice of Heaven! Fair warning, there is some grinded celery in the mac salad, so if youre allergic then let them know. Otherwise, that aroma of celery added so much depth to the mac. I can't emphasize enough, there is so much love in the food and the servers take gooooood care of you. It was also amazing to see how much attention to detail the owners put in the restaurant.
