    Tom Yum broth
    An P.

    This Bowl Thai's sister restaurant. I've been going to Bowl Thai back when they were in a different plaza across the street. I'm so glad they've been able to expand. I decided to try their hot pot today. My brother and I got the tom yum and tom kha flavors. Savory and very yummy. All ingredients were fresh. We had beef, seafood balls, mussels, and veggies. Complimentary dessert was a nice touch. Ambiance is trendy, and service was exceptional.

    Absolutely a hidden gem! Let's start by James the host. He is absolutely adorable, friendly and attentive. The place is clean the service is prompt and the food is delicious. You start off by getting your bowl and tongs then adding the veggies followed by protein that you want in your soup. Lastly you choose the type of soup you want to add. Choose wisely as it can add it quickly as it is 17.99 per pound.

    This is one of my favorite hot pot spots in the area and it never disappoints. The employees are incredibly friendly and welcoming. There's an amazing variety of ingredients to choose from for your broth, so I love customizing my meal based on what I'm craving. The tom yum broth is my go-to broth. Super flavorful, comforting, and consistently delicious. They also offer other great options like tom kha. Wait times are usually pretty minimal as long as it's not super packed. The sauce bar has a great selection, and I love that they offer complimentary ice cream at the end of the meal. Parking is also easy and plentiful in the area. Definitely a spot I keep coming back to!

    I've never been to a Thai restaurant that's offered this sort of pay-by-weight system, so I'm just so glad this place exists!! The employees are incredibly friendly and will explain how it all works if it's your first time. I personally love their spiciest broth. Once you choose your ingredients and have it all weighed, they cook it in the back and have it at your table within five minutes. They also give complimentary ice cream at very end, which is such a treat. My go-to spot whenever I'm in the area.

    I really do love the self serve option for your hot pot, you get to add all of the stuff you want more or less of. You are charged by the weight, about $17.99/lb as of December 2025. I do wish there were more veggie options for the bowl but was absolutely not disappointed by what they did have. After filling your bowl you get to pick your soup base and I had Tom Kha which is always my go to. You will have some sauce options which are pretty good as well. We really did love our hot pot and had so much leftover you would have thought I purchased another bowl! Will 100% come back.

    The place got full after we came--we were the first party

    This is the newest restaurant of Bowl Thai and Sweet Rice (which we love both too). Thai Hot Pot did not disappoint! So you basically fill your bowl up with whatever you want and it's all weight based of 17.99/lb. They have a great selection of items from vegetables, noodles, and proteins (seafood, beef, chicken, fish balls, tofu, etc). Then you choose the broth you want. The guy there (Darren I think) gave us a sample of the broth so we could decide if we wanted it. My husband got the Thai suki and I got the Tom yum so we could have two different broths. Both broths were amazing! And the quality of the items looked and tasted fresh. Service was great! I love that now in this complex we have three restaurants to choose from depending what mood we are in! This hot pot definitely hit the spot on a cold night .

    Love this place!! Located in the same plaza with Tokyo Central, Sweet Rice & Bowl Thai, this restaurant serves up yummy thai hotpot in a unique way. I was warmly greeted by a friendly gentleman when I walked in and had a cake to celebrate my friend's birthday. He offered to hold the cake in the back which was super nice and later on explained how you grab a bowl and put as much veggies, meat and seafood you want in and they weigh it to charge you at the counter. Then they cook it for you and bring it out in a few minutes. They have a lot of thai based broth and I chose Jaew Hon per recommendation and it was so flavorful, unique and tasty. There are lots of fresh veggies, mushroom and seafood which I love. I'll definitely be back again.

    Came here for dinner with my boyfriend about a week ago. It was pretty late on a weeknight, but I'd been wanting to try this place. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted, and the man working (sorry I didn't catch his name!) was super friendly and helpful in explaining how everything worked -- which I appreciated since it was my first time there. It's kind of like the Thai version of YGF Malatang! When you first enter, you'll see the open bar of meats and veggies, but if you walk further into the right, there's a hidden seating area in the back with a self-serve sauce and dipping station. It was very casual and quiet for a weeknight -- there was only one other party there, which made it a nice, lowkey dinner spot. I'm not very familiar with Thai broths, but he patiently walked us through the different options and even let us sample the Thai suki broth on a spoon. That ended up being the one I chose -- and I surprisingly loved it! Such a cool concept overall, and the service really stood out. Would definitely come back

    Very VERY friendly service! I've never had Thai hot pot before but I'm glad I tried it. It comes out with it's own flame source so it'll stay hot and boiling the entire time (or you could shut it off). This is a pay per pound type of hot pot establishment. I'm a big fan of these types of places because I get to choose exactly what I want to eat and how much. There are about 5 different soup bases for you to select. They also have a very wide selection of vegetables and proteins. I was a big fan of all their seafood options including crabs and shrimp. There are also a wide selection of noodles for you to add into it if you'd like. In terms of the dipping sauces, they have several types of spicy selections. They have sacha/satay sauce which is a must for me. They also give you ice cream in the end which was a really nice way to finish the meal!

    Yall. YALL. This place is a hidden gem in the massive plaza. The owner is the nicest person and helped us navigate through this menu. The flavors are outstanding, we've tried 2 so far (jaew hon and tom kha) and they were so good. Extremely flavorful and there are so many customizable options! You start by filling your bowl with veggies, noodles, proteins, etc. and then choose a soup base, and once you're seated you can also hit the side bar for extra sauces / condiments. Everything here was fantastic, we'll definitely be back soon with all our friends. Don't forget to get a thai tea!

    Tom kha soup! Very sour

    UMMM FIRST OF ALLLLL, I live RIGHT NEXT TO THIS PLACE AND I AM JUST NOW TRYING IT. They have malatang style dining where you grab your ingredients in a bowl and they weigh it out however!!!! They have a variety of THAI BROTHS! I absolutely love Thai soups especially tom kha. My friend and I did some light work and only got a little over a pound each. It's 17.99/lb which is actually really expensive... it's the most expensive I've seen so far. The service was excellent. The gentleman explained the whole process on how it works and was polite and professional. The place looks empty when you first go inside but the tables are in the back area. There is also a self serve sauce bar and water is self serve as well. Pretty much everything is self serve here. To be really honest, the ingredients at the bar didn't look very fresh and they have meat that's not frozen. Once it's all cooked with the broth it's not bad though. The spicy seafood sauce is DELICIOUS and I would drink that if I could. I'm definitely coming back to try other brothers and maybe not an hour before they close.

    A buffet of goodness!

    Every Friday my best friend and I try a local Gardena restaurant (no big chains) and we finally got to Thai Hot Pot after eating at Bowl Thai Grill. When you first walk in you'll find the hot pot selections on your right. If it's your first time, do yourself a favor and check out all your options first. If you're like us, you'll want everything ;) There's an amazing assortment of options--fresh veggies, tofus, mushrooms, fish balls, noodles, eggs, and meats. After you fill up your bowl it'll get weighed and you'll be asked to select your soup base. I got the Jaew Hon and my fried got Tom Yum, you can't go wrong with either. Your soup comes out in an individual hot pot and you just get to enjoy. There's a water station in the bigger room and this is also where you'll find a small buffet of add-ons: oils, chiles, and herbs! If it's your first time or you've been there before you'll be received with warmth and a super friendly smile. The gentleman who helped us was so friendly and matched the laid back vibe of the restaurant. You'll be offered a bowl of rice in case you're interested. And the thai ice tea is soooo good! Even as we were eating we were talking about coming back! Go and show Thai Hot Pot some love!!

    We tried Thai Hot Pot today! It was super delish. Lots of options and the service was great. We each got a build your own, but they have preset ones if you don't want to personalize. Big selection of veggies, Yifu's, fish cakes, meats and seafoods. Two minor things: 1. The beef was too thick for me 2. I got plain soup base but it was a bit salty so I didn't get to use my soy sauce + satay sauce as much. Ambiance was clean. I think it could use a little character, but it was fine. They are located in the shopping mall with Sea Empress and Tokyo Central. Lots of free parking. Overall I would be back!

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!
