I'm done, made a mistake and forgot I swore I'd never go again. Foods good service is poor. If I had to make a guess the mgr is lazy, it reflex to the waiters and waitresses. Ppl around me felt the same on more than one visit. I refuse to spend $100 or more on service like that for two ppl. I've been going for a little over three years and I seen the decline increased every time I go. read more

Aftet an eventful mothers day, we headed to gra pow for a snack and drinks to end the day. Service friendly as always and it was not too crowded. We had the red trolley and thai tacos outside in the patio to some cool weather and sunset. Got to see the man Isaac and we had a great time. read more

Gra Pow - Cashew Chicken & Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Riverside, California

This review is for the sports bar area and not the restaurant. The bar area is tucked inside a Thai restaurant, with the restaurant on the right and the sports bar on the left. The atmosphere is nice and modern, with a bar area, a long communal table, and more private seating options on the side. There's a jukebox for music requests (for a fee) and four big screens showing sports. The bar has a full selection of craft beers, a full bar, and access to the restaurant's full menu and sushi bar (except on Sundays). We came during happy hour (daily from 3-6pm and 9pm-12am) and tried the spicy garlic edamame and dragon wings, both priced at $7. The edamame was flavorful, though a bit salty, while the dragon wings, tossed in a spicy Szechuan sauce, were a little too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll probably opt for the cream cheese wontons (also $7). I also enjoyed a well drink for $4, which had a generous pour. Service was quick and friendly, although it became harder to get the bartender's attention later in the night. Overall, the food was good, and it's a great neighborhood bar with a few areas for improvement. read more

This place is so good!! James is an amazing server!!! The food is amazing and everyone is so friendly!!!

My husband and I are new to the area from Huntington Beach. There are some great Thai restaurants there so our expectations were high. So far, we've had the Chicken Dumplings, Cashew Chicken, Orange Chicken, Fried Rice, Sticky Rice and Mango desert, and Thai Tea. We've loved everything. So glad to have a consistently good Thai Restaurant close by. read more

I just finished my workout at the LA Fitness gym and decided wonton soup sounded like a good dinner along with a side of shumi. Unfortunately, the Shrimp Wonton Buddha Soup was very underwhelming. Let's start with the stock. It had no flavor whatsoever. It just tasted like frozen vegetables had been boiled in plain water to make the stock, it had no seasoning. There were lots of vegetables in the soup, but they were disintegrating into mush. Even the broccoli and carrots that was in there was mushy. The wontons were so soft. They were falling apart, and they had no flavor either there was one shrimp wrapped in a wonton wrapper again no flavor. Let's move on to the.Shumi, they were very small and dense there were eight of them in the serving, but they were a little more than very small bite. The filling had a little flavor. The noodle wrapper was very dry and rubbery, and the pork and shrimp filling, lacked flavor and was very tough. I will give them credit for being very fast in preparing my order, as I was taking it home. They offered me water at the bar and they were very friendly. I enjoy watching a Food Network show on the TV while I was waiting, in their defense. I did order this as takeout and it took about 10 to 15 minutes for me to get home to eat even with that amount of time, everything was extremely overcooked. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this restaurant based on this experience. I was hoping to be able to pick up dinner on my gym nights, but that's not gonna happen. Very disappointed in those two items. The bill was over $40, for that price I was expecting much more. read more

Came here for the first. I love Thai food but my husband isn't a fan, and he loved this place! He wants to go back already. I had the pad Thai and he had the gra pow with noodles. Everything tasted fantastic! Service was good. Got seating quickly and I could tell they get very busy. Looked very nice and clean inside as well. Will definitely be coming back read more

Gross do not get the spring rolls they are terrible and potion sizes are small. Everything I had tasted cheap and frozen

Yummy food - great drunks and services. Our go to place for happy hour!! Prompt and friendly service..

I got the golden pineapple fried rice dish, as well as a hard cider. There was nothing left over for me to take home so that just shows how delicious that was. Partner got the green bean chicken. The atmosphere was very mellow. Nice day to be outside as well. Waiter had a great attitude read more

We were looking for great food at a mid-price range and this place delivered. The food was fresh and flavorful, and honestly, the prices felt like a great deal for today's economy. Service was friendly and attentive too. Definitely worth coming back. read more

My wife and I went to this restaurant on a week day evening. She knew about this place, but it was my first time hearing and going to this spot. I liked the fact the restaurant has an inside bar area (pretty large) attached to the restaurant, which had tv's and a full bar. It's a great spot to eat Thai food and watch sports. This place also has an exterior sitting area as well. The food was excellent, the service was good and the price was good as well. The quality of the food was good as well. I definitely want to come back in the near future. Keep up the good work. read more

A benchmark of Orangecrest. Always a solid choice. Baffled by the bad reviews. My family and I love this place. Sometimes it is very crowded but we always get a table or take out. The lunch specials are amazing, the crab Rangoon and calamari are spot on. My kids say it's the best orange chicken in the area. The mango sticky rice is a treat not to skip. The servers and staff are friendly. Sometimes when they get busy they can be slow but that's expected. The bar area is hopping at night. Fresh, tasty and I'm never disappointed. The wine selection is totally satisfying. read more

James is seriously one of the best servers we've ever had! He was in point, funny, and very attentive. The food was great as well We will return thank you James! read more

We stopped by this restaurant on the way back to San Diego from Big Bear. This is one of kind Thai Fusion restaurant which also has very big bar. The bar was very busy, and they have very wide selection of Beers, Wines and other Cocktail drinks. We ended up getting Manhattan Cocktail while waiting in the line to get our table which took more than 30 minutes may be because of Friday. We are big fan of Thai and Asian food, and the restaurant bar is one of a kind. The Ambiance of restaurant is very high class. We were group of 8 people, and everyone enjoyed the food and drinks. The service was wonderful. The food was EPIC, we ended up getting TOM YUM (HOT & SOUR SOUP) - CHICKEN, TOM KHA (COCONUT SOUP) - CHICKEN, SPICY YUZU KANPACHI ROLL, DRAGON ROLL, GRA/POW NOODLE, RED CURRY, and Spicy Chicken Fried Rice. The food was very delicious. We are going to add this to our list of things to do while visiting/crossing Riverside. read more

Their curry is the best I have had, service is awesome! Wife loves the orange chicken. Our family goes regularly.

I knocked off a star because of the service. We went for dinner. The servers seems to be all over the place...they need a designated area or everyone needs to be hands on deck. After we got seated we saw a family sit down and get their waters and appetizers before we got water. After we finally got to order and eat our foods no one check up on us until we were done. I needed a box and the check so when the sever came back with them I asked him not to leave so I could give him the card to pay. Now the food, is delicious. I got the Pad g Gra Pow and my husband usually gets pad Thai, but tried the beef Black Pepper and loved it. We didn't order any appetizers and I'm glad we didn't order else we would've been there forever! If you can order to go that would probably be your best bet if service is important to you. You wont be disappointed with their food! read more

Their Asian-style food is delicious, and the service is consistently good. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor area feels slightly dark to me, but the outdoor seating provides a brighter, more open alternative. read more

Came here as we have to wait for item pick up in the area. This place was search highlight at that time, in addition the love we have for Thai food. The staff was super nice and welcoming. We had warm greeting and seated right away. Upon looking at the menu, I was quite surprised because the price of main course menu was higher roughly $3-$5 compared to restaurant in the area. I understand this place offers alcohol and be on another level among similar restaurants due to ambience and service but portion also quite shocking compared to price listed. Wings was deliciously crunchy and tender at the same time as well we had chance to opt to happy hour menu. Pad See Euw was presentable, however taste was not quite as expected, don't taste enough fish sauce. Green curry portion was too small though taste was so delicious. Mango Sticky Rice as our desert surprisingly was a big portion and we had to have it taken away in a box. The other nice thing about this place is the fact getting special offer when you check in on Yelp! read more

Let me start by saying we love there food every year we get food here for are family get together but this last December the food was not that good so we have not been back we decided to come back Saturday night we dinned in food was so good but our service not so great our waitress should not be in the service industry I know she's been there a long time but if you don't like your job you should move on when we were done eating we sat for at least 20 min before she decided to come check on us she was not that busy just walking around aimlessly so I'm think we won't be back I'll go spend my money where we can get served read more

The food is always good. The customer service could use some help though. First incident I placed to go order. After sitting for an hour waiting the young lady tells me that she forgot to put chicken and the kitchen never made my food. I have to wait another 30 minutes for my food. Second incident I placed my Togo order he says 30-40 minutes. They will text me when my food is ready. I'm sitting waiting. An hour go by. I seen when the lady bought my food out. I ask for the status and the young lady go oh here is your food. If I didn't ask I would have still been waiting on my food because he did not follow thru. It's sad how they treat customers. read more

Whenever I visit my family in Southern California I always prioritize a meal at Gra Pow. I've probably been there about 10-15 times and each time my meal has been excellent. I have to say they have the best Pad Thai I've ever had and it's what I get every time I go. I try everyone else's food too though and it's so delicious. This time my family and I went during happy hour. We started with our favorite app, Spicy garlic edamame which is so good! We also had the cream cheese wontons ( my mom's favorite) and dragon wings which my dad loves ( I'm vegetarian) . Those apps were discounted ( $7 each) during happy hour. For our main meals we had beef Panang , chicken, shrimp pineapple rice and I had my tofu pad Thai. I tried everyone else's food ( I'm officially a flexitarian now) and we were all pleased ( as usual). They have outside seating in front and a bar area if you want to watch sports. My family and I sit on the quieter side since we aren't there for the sports. Oh and my fav drink is the What are you Tajin about it's vodka based with cucumber and a Tajin rim. They have a good selection of draft beers and my mom likes their house white. If you are looking for a great Thai place in Riverside then you've got to go here. read more
