A new look inside and outside doesn't mean everything else has improved. Unfortunately, the portions of all food has been reduced as prices has increased. Food quality is the worst of all! The look and taste is different compared to previous ownership/management from years ago. If another management change happens (again), they need to solve all issues that have been going on ever since. read more

Great family own restaurant. Quick service and clean in my opinion. Service was fine. We were a big group for a small restaurant so it was alot for them to handle that day, not sure if low staff or what was the case. It was a two man show, but for a two man show it service was fine and food was great! read more

Oyster sauce was gross. The shrimp was plain. Pay extra for rice? Service was pleasant. read more

The portion of food is very inconsistent each time I order. My first visit with friends was great. The serving was humongous but when I ordered Togo the 2nd and 3rd time, the portion (S1 & S2 ), the meat was considerably smaller cuts compared to the first. WHY? read more

Excellent food and service! We ordered pad Thai, cucumber salad, beef broccoli, beef with mushroom, and spareribs - all great with big servings. Thai boba tea is a must too. Clean and fast service. They have lunch special too, before 3pm. We will definitely be back again. 3-30-2022 read more

Better ambiance and service than before. Love the new look. Food remains the same but cucumber salad/ sauce for $10??? C'mon now. That's too much! Otherwise, been eating at this place since it opened up. Will recommend it now than before. read more

Food was decent. Fast and efficient service. The dining room is a little outdated could use a little bit of an update but it's alright small booths of 4. read more

Easily one of the worst restaurants that I've dined at in a very very long time!! I ordered the Thai salad and received a hot noodle dish with mushy shrimp, big onions and mushy tomatoes!! I pointed out to the waitress that I ordered a salad and even verified that it was a salad by asking what kind of lettuce was used and everything!! But I somehow got something else?? When i say she was mad that i sent it back!! If there's one thing that I can not stand!!! Is when we're all speaking English and to have the two ladies start yelling, gesturing, and pointing towards me speaking in another language!! I mean you're clearly talking Shit and at least if you're gonna do that give me the common curtesy to understand so that I can respond! We also ordered a mushroom and broccoli dish that looked old and disgusting! I mean broccoli has obviously gotten old if it's starting to turn yellow!! I didn't eat one thing from this place!! My friend who chose to eat there ordered the Thai BBq chicken and it came out ice cold with crunchy pinkish fried rice!! When she complained, they took it to the back and obviously microwaved it then brought it back smh!! She ate her food and I went somewhere else to eat! Oh and also to note, I don't know how they stay open because the place is a dump- and looked closed and deserted when we arrived!! read more

* Parking is great * Quick and fast service * Good customer's service Ordered: - Drunken Noodles - Thai BBQ combo - Pad See Ew - Crab Fried Rice It is a good quick and fast pace restaurant that can host larger size groups. Their food portions were huge and can be shared family style for everything. I want to say that their food wasn't that amazing. it was simple and good but nothing that makes me want to come back to have it again. The customer service was great - orders were taken (not on paper so we weren't sure if the worker knew and remembered all of our orders). Everyone was friendly and welcoming. read more

I love this place. One of my favorite places to eat in Carson. I always order their chicken bbq lunch special, thai spring rolls and thai iced tea. The chicken is cooked perfectly. I never got a dry chicken from this place. Their sauce is what makes it unique and if you love their sauce too, they are selling it in bottles. read more

The upgrade in the space makes it so much nicer to eat dine in now! The food is still good quality, place is still a carson staple

S-8 order from 8/28/22 ALL beef to go was burnt. Coming from a family who lives out of town, this location is our usual go to. Unfortunately, they can't do anything about it because we opened it at home. Called the restaurant & all they can do was tell the chef. They also said the chicken is "out of season." read more

Thai Original BBQ Carson - S-8 order from 8/28/22 ALL beef to go was burnt. - Thai Near Me - Carson, California

Went for lunch for 12. Restaurant was empty. Food took so long to come out and it came out one at a time. No food presentation at all. Food was bland. I will not go back, been going to this restaurant for a long time. Have you ever wondered why your establishment is empty? read more

I have been going to Thai BBq well over 30 years and I have to say Carson was one I never really went to, until now. Walking in to this restaurant everything is bright (even though I'm not a fan of bright), food is exceptional, and the service was fantastic. They have one of those Thai scooter things that I saw people taking pictures with, maybe I'll get one next time. Something about Thai BBqs Thai Tea that is better than other Thai restaurants (Pro Tip get extra milk a waitresses at Hollywood Thai BBq suggested that and I've been hooked ever since) and you can not go wrong with S-8 BEEF. I'm definitely going back and suggest you give it a try. read more

This was our first time at Thai BBQ in Carson and let me tell you, the 2 star rating is accurate. We waked in around 7:45pm -- Yelp, Google and the signage say the restaurant closes at 9pm. Upon arrival we are greeted with a painful smile from what I am assuming is the server. He says, with 5 menus in hand, "Hi we actually close the kitchen at 8:30 and I just sat this table of 5 down so it's going to be at least 40-45 minutes because I'm going to have to take their orders and then finish up with these two tables so yeah by then the kitchen will be closed." Keep in mind that party had walked in seconds before us. I said "Got it. Turned to my husband and said let's go!" The server then let out a huge sigh of relief. We were surprised as there were only two other tables occupied. One was a couple and the other was a table of 3. It was a HORRIBLE first impression and I won't give this place a second try. I am not interested in going somewhere that doesn't care for clientele. I have gone to the location in LA and I would go back there but this Carson location-- NEVER AGAIN. Wouldn't even try it for free. read more

The dining area is nice and clean. It looks newly renovated. We ordered pad thai and sate dinner. It was good! We will come back

Not that good food for the price. Lady has me on hold for 9 min. Pad Thai was lacking .ribs was hard to eat not cooked enough

When I was younger I used to eat at the location in Korea town but have since moved. The foods stayed pretty much the same, I usually stick with the beef sate (S-8) which is always delicious. Recently the Carson location went under renovation and it's definitely made the restaurant feel more modern, though I'm a little sad about the fishes moving lol. Sometimes the food takes some time to be served but in my opinion it's worth it. read more

This is no longer the same like before. Not sure how many nee management took over this place. But it gets worst and worst. It used to be giving a great service. Food are no longer the same the way they present. Same taste though. Sad.....I use to live this place. Sorry but might as well close this place. read more

They've fallen the F off The S8 satay skewers meat used to be one of the go tos They shorted on the amount of meat, I get that supply chains and all that. They should let it be known instead of just letting customers be disappointed. A lot of the other reviews reflect this. STAY AWAY read more

Food is always very good . The best Thai BBQ Chicken so far for me. Tasty, moist & tender with cucumber salad it makes a great combination! Friendly & fast service! Newly renovated great ambiance & clean ! read more

This restaurant has a policy to give a gratuity. This waitress looking for us me and husband at the parking & when we saw us in parking lot asking for a tip. I was so embarrassed coz this is the time I experienced this. Why should I give a gratuity..the service is bad. read more

First and foremost, I have eaten the Thai Original BBQ plenty of times and I'm a fan favorite of their S-8 Beef Sate, until today. I have never left a Yelp review for as long as I've used this application. But after this experience today, I want to not only leave a review but also give you a fair warning to not eat at this specific location. Walking into the restaurant alone raised all the red flags. The dining area looked grim, unsanitary and honestly felt like the home of a dead person. Customer service was terrible. Mind you this is a pick up order, so thankfully I didn't experience dining in. But when I got home... I unpack the bag and it's in the normal plastic container the food is usually in. I open the lid to my once favorite S-8 beef sate and with it usually comes the peanut sauce, that's tasty, especially on the rice. But when I opened the peanut sauce, it looked like this mucus like substance with a thick texture to it. Not to be graphic, but it looked like someone's saliva. Either this sauce was expired for the day or someone tampered with my order. Didn't even bother trying to taste it. I would give this place zero stars, if I could. Absolutely filthy place and disgusting food. read more

Thai Original BBQ Carson - Delicious soup My family and I like this restaurant so much and I like the service - Thai Near Me - Carson, California

This place was recommended by a friend who hadn't been there in a while. I tried it and never again. Dirty looking place, the noodles (spicy chicken chow mein) were soggy, and the chicken tasted and looked weird, could not eat it. It was overpriced. We had a total of 5 orders of different kind of food, but everything had the same fishy taste. Never again read more

This place is kind of interesting, it is a Thai restaurant that has a slight Filipino spin on the food!? I think it's because there is more Filipino people who come here than Thai, I find this to be true also for the Cerritos sister location. The Cerritos location is definitely much better than here though in terms of food quality and ambience. I like the S2 option-the ribs are tender, juicy and goes well with the sweet chilli dipping sauce. The fried rice is nothing amazing, pretty simple but goes well with the meat. The S1 option is also good if you don't eat red meat-the chicken is not too dry and well-seasoned. Whatever you do, don't get the pad thai because it is not the best as it was way too saucy! The service is pretty quick and efficient. The inside is not the cleanest and newest though. Come here if you want quick and okay quality thai food. read more

Well, first off they very understaffed. The food was very good, I wish The portions were bigger. It's always nice to do family style in places like this. The Pad Thai and crispy duck were very good. I do recommend trying something like that which you wouldn't normally get anywhere else read more

Thai Original BBQ Carson - Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Carson, California

It is not how it used to be. Tried to call to order during normal business hours, but the line was busy from 11-1230. I went there and owner said he intentionally did not set the phone. The servings are smaller now for dinner entrees and quality is not the same compared to 10- 20 years ago. The restaurant needs a little perking up. You can tell it has not been renovated in a while. read more

I really don't want or like to give bad reviews but, I used to like eating here. The last time I ordered here I had the same bad experience, but wanted to give them another chance. What happened to this place? They used to be good. I ordered to go and the price ($15.00) that I have to pay for their dinner at least they should not skimp out on the rice. Before the tray used to be full of the shrimp fried rice, now they cut that amount in half. The chicken pad Thai, noodles and chicken are dry and not as soft as before. It's up to you if you want to eat here, but I think I will no longer give them my business if they are going to skimp out on the food and provide mediocre quality of food. I'll try a different Thai restaurant even though they are further away. I'm sorry Thai BBQ, but you'll loose a lot of business with unhappy customers. read more

Thai Original BBQ Carson - S-8 Beef Sate Dinner. Skimping out on the rice. :( - Thai Near Me - Carson, California

This place is okay. They seated our large party of 9 fairly quickly. I ordered their drunken noodle with beef which came out in good time but the noodles were not flat - instead they were overly stirred/chopped into minced small pieces which made the experience eating the flat noodles not so pleasing. read more

On Fourth of July I went and ordered some food my total was $54. And I asked for a green chilies the ones in vinegar She give me one little container very little I asked for more she wanted to charge me $.75 each I said why are you charge me if I just spent $54 and if I sit down and eat there, I could eat all the little chilies I want no charge I don't get it she said I have to charge you the food was OK it could be better back in the day it used to be really good not no more. That's the last time I'm going there if they can't take care of their customers read more

Tried calling in an order no answer. Decided to just go and order there. When I get there guy is outside on the phone. I said I tried calling and he says they were busy. When we walk in nobody's inside. Looks at me and says we were busy earlier and I'm like I just called 2 min ago. ‍ I ordered The beef sate S8. Look like the meat shrunk cause they used to sell them bigger. Service is sad. Come see for yourself. read more

I love Thai Original BBQ. Despite all the negative reviews they've been pretty consistent with the quality of their food. My top orders are bbq pork spare ribs, satay (chicken/beef), pad Thai, pad see eww, bbq Thai chicken, and egg rolls. One thing about the egg rolls is that they are inconsistent. Some orders are really good and some come out looking like "wth happened? Is this an egg roll?" read more

Wow!! It's been years I got back from this place. Nothing changed flooring awful, tables and chairs, ambiance is not good at all. service a little slow but it's ok... I understood it was a little busy only one working cashier, server, etc. Food became smaller portion and not it use to be. Now they charged for HOT sauce even you when you order it's not complimentary anymore. You want hot sauce you pay because of shortages read more

Never again... grew up going to the 3rd and western location, then went to the Venice location when we lived in Inglewood, and 4 years ago when we moved to Torrance started purchasing from this location. Tonight was the last straw. Our s8 beef satays looked like stubby fingers that have been cut off. 60% of the normal size and 60% of the rice amount. Rude service when we called to inform them. If you think your regular customers don't know, then guess again. read more

This location is trash. I was in the area and yelped thai food thinking it would take me to the Cerritos location I used to often dine at. But I was already there and decided to give the place a shot. Huge mistake. The wait time was long due to being understaffed. There was a bald guy sitting ppl, answering phone orders and waiting tables at the same time. He was nice and was pretty calm about things even tho it was crazy. Food was mediocre at best and no where near the quality of their cerritos location. Very disappointed and would never come back. Food - 1 Service- 2 read more
