    Complimentary Ice Cream (ig: @cravingswithcat)
    Catherine N.

    I've been craving hot pot so bad and we were recommended this place. There aren't that many good hot pot places in South Bay and we thought this one was quite impressive. This spot is build your own hot pot, there's a wide variety of fresh ingredients like veggies, proteins, carbs, and more. It was my first time having Thai hot pot and love that it had flavors of sweet, spicy, salty, and sour (depending on the broth you select). At the end of the meal, you get complimentary ice cream which is the perfect sweet treat. The place is decorated really cute and good spot to grab food with friends and family. James provided us with great service and was super nice. We'll definitely be back! ig: @cravingswithcat

    We stumbled upon this restaurant when my friend was searching for Thai food in the area, and it turned out to be a great find! The concept is simple and fun--you build your own bowl by choosing from a wide variety of vegetables, noodles, tofu, eggs, seafood, and meats. Some of the options available included lobster balls, shrimp, mussels, clams, octopus, beef, and chicken. Your selections are weighed at the end, with a minimum order of 1 pound, which was surprisingly easy to reach given all the delicious choices. One of the best parts is choosing the broth to cook your ingredients in. We all went with the Tom Kha broth and absolutely loved it. The flavor reminded me of a creamy version of sinigang, a Filipino sour soup, which made it especially comforting and enjoyable. The restaurant also has a self-serve sauce bar so you can customize your meal even further, and cups are readily available for water. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visit. There was also plenty of parking, which made the experience even more convenient. Overall, we really enjoyed our first visit and will definitely be coming back!

    Southbay is full of Japanese and Chinese hotpot places What makes Thai hot pot stands out is their sauces. Everything was good. Meat quality is good. Variety of choices to pick from. This is a malatang style hotpot so you can customize however you want your pot. Service is friendly And place is clean. Adding this to my go to hotpot place

    Tom Yum broth

    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.

    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 .

    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!

    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

    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.

    The space has a clean, modern vibe with a cozy, aesthetic feel-soft peach and cream walls, warm rattan lighting, and light wood furniture make it both relaxing and stylish. The food was just as great, priced at $17.99 per lb, with the option to sample broths before choosing. I got the Thai Suki, and my husband had the Jaew Hon, which has a slightly tangy flavor similar to sinigang. I also love that you can bring in food from their sister spots (Bowl Thai Grill & Sweet Rice) if someone in your group isn't into hotpot. The manager was super friendly and made my first visit a great one. Overall, such a good experience. I'll definitely be back!!

    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!

Service was quick and food came out swiftly. Waiters were timely and polite. I ordered a thai ice tea and a classic Thai style chicken fried rice with med spice while my friend ordered some shrimp chow mein. The thai ice tea was pretty bog-standard, nothing inspiring. The rice was great. It had good heat, wasn't too wet, and had ample amounts of chicken. Whilst I did enjoy the fried rice, the flavor were slightly muted in what I imagine a perfect fried rice to be. Either way, it was delicious. My friend's chow mein was a little strange. The flavor was good but it tasted like there was excess starch or something on the noodles creating a strange texture and flavor. Shrimp was good, though not incredibly fresh. All in all, I left satisfied with the fried rice and would consider coming back to try some other menu items.
