    From just the outside alone, the restaurant exudes an elegant Thai atmosphere. The little decorations at the front: a taxi and a large shrine, two things that represent the beautiful Thai culture. Inside, the walls are decorated with wooden frames that give off the vibe of temple windows and the extravagant chandelier--small details that draw you into the restaurant. The cleanliness is top notch, and it does feel comfortable to sit down and relax. The staff were busy when we first approached, and it seems as if there was a shortage of chefs in the kitchen. But the waiters who came out were very kind and helped us with everything. We ordered Pad Thai, Calamari, and Spring Rolls. For drinks, we all got Thai tea. At first, I was skeptical of the Pad Thai, curious to see if it would meet my expectations. I remember a conversation I had with my Uncle where he said this place used to add more vegetables than noodles. To my surprise, I was amazed by how delicious the Pad Thai was. The noodles were very succulent and there is very little sauce. The restaurant really improved from last time and it shows. The scallions are a refreshing addition to the flavor of the noodles. My aunt, who I came along with--came out very satisfied with the Pad Thai. She said she wanted to come back again Saturday with her boyfriend. My sister came along too, ordered calamari and Thai tea as the restaurant of us did. She didn't like the calamari but loved the Pad Thai. Spring rolls and the calamari were both crispy, but my family much preferred the Pad Thai. Lastly, Thai tea was very sweet and cool, I loved how the tea tastes like something new and authentic. This Thai restaurant surprised me and my family. Thank you Thai Original BBQ in Carson for the wonderful lunch.

    Thai BBQ is one of my favorite foods, so I decided to try the Carson location. We arrived around 7:30 PM and were told they closed at 8:30, with the kitchen closing at 8:15. I understood and told them we would be quick. From the beginning, I felt rushed while ordering. When my beef satay arrived, it looked fine on top, but the bottom was clearly burnt and tasted burnt. When I politely told the server, he became defensive and argued that "that's how the grill is supposed to look." At that point, I lost my appetite and asked for my Pad Thai to go. If they didn't want to take dine-in customers that close to closing, I would have completely understood. But accepting us and then rushing us and arguing over burnt food made the experience very disappointing.

    This guy is so rude, it's my second time i encounter 1st it was over the phone but this time in person. He even flip me off on the way out!

    The Staff was friendly this was my first time coming to this restaurant my wife & I were hungry so we got a few things. We ordered Bbq chicken Beef and broccoli, Chow mein Combination fried rice, & Sea soup. 1 soda which was $5 but includes 1 more free reload & 1 thai drink

    Chicken Sate

    Stopped by for dinner on a Friday evening. I had the chicken sa-te dinner which was overall lackluster. The chicken itself was fine but I have had many better sa-tes. It came with a large side of shrimp fried rice - the rice tasted pretty plain (but tinted pink) and had just two shrimps. I did love the cucumber salad/dip and peanut dipping sauces. I felt that the price around $21 was a bit steep but it did come with 8 skewers which was a hearty portion so that helped balance the price. Many of these reviews mention bad service. My service was totally good! Our server was attentive and nice, no issues. Overall, nothing really wowed me enough to return but it was good enough.

    Excellent food. Authentic Thai. OMG. Combination soup with shrimp fried rice spareribs bbq & pad seew beef! Supppper good!

    Garlic spare ribs

    Came in for a high school lunch reunion. We had reserved tables and ordered several dishes. The servings were huge and full of flavor. The tom yum soup had a nice balance of sourness and spice. The green papaya salad with mango was refreshing. The barbecue chicken with shrimp fried rice was tender and came with honey sauce. The garlic spare rib was garlicky. The gulf of Siam was a seafood delight. The beef pad see ew had was not chewy nor sticky. All of our dishes were under $20. They even have weekday lunch specials.

    1.00 for a tiny portion of cucumber - wow!
    Rosa R.

    I came here by accident and it was ok. I did like the decor and the chairs were very comfortable! When I arrived there was only one person dining. That always makes me nervous but I've been to a chain location before. Anyway I ordered they were quick and food was ok. Problem was rice was actually cold. I had the chicken satee and the chicken was so dry and hard. I asked for another cucumber sauce and mind you it was tiny. To my surprise I was charged 1.00. Really? You charge extra for a few cucumber chunks ?? That's very petty and ridiculous!

    I would recommend this food place for kids who normally eat soup or noddles. They were nice about refills, and had a polite and good manner.

    So i am a bit confused about the photos here, because there is an actual restaurant looking place,…read moresome little cart and a food truck. Hopefully they are all related. My review is based on the food truck. It was my son's birthday. He was allowed to chose anything he wanted for dinner. Any price point... anything. Well i had seen this on Instagram and shared it with him two weeks prior. At first he wanted to go to Nobu or there were a few other high end options, but that is not his style honestly. Luckily, he remembered the post that I shared. He wanted to go here. Well, buckle up kids, we are going on a field trip! We left work/schools early and took a drive to Compton. When our navigation said we had arrived it suggested we park in the lot across from the library. Ok. There directly in front of the library was the food truck. There was a small line, so that was ideal. Not a long wait. My other smaller human and i went to wash their hands in the library. When i came out he had ordered the hungry man or something. It was more than enough for us. The oxtail was good. The ribs were good. The chicken was good. The cornbread was yummy. Just not over the moon for the greens... and i loooove collard greens. But that's ok. We went for the meats. They were out of the dinosaur ribs, so maybe if we go early enough next time, we can try those. We took it across the street to the park and ate and that was enough time for the small one to also play to get energy out before we headed home. The drive home was long, now that rush hour traffic had started. But none of us complained, because the meal was worth it.

The…read moreambience is that perfect "I'm about to eat good and maybe overshare with my friends" vibe. It's warm, it's tidy, and it smells like happiness sizzling on a grill. The service was smooth, friendly and efficient. They check on you just enough to make you feel cared for, but not enough to make you wonder if they're trying to adopt you. Respectfully attentive, the way all service should be. Now let's talk food, because this place had me rethinking my bellies choices. The spicy beef soup pulled up like a warm hug from someone who also isn't afraid to roast you. Flavorful, comforting, and spicy enough to remind you you're alive. The beef ox tongue, wow ..listen. If you've never had tongue that melts like butter and grills up with that perfect little snap, this place will convert you. I was out here chewing like I was signing a peace treaty. The prime rib‑kalbi was so juicy and tender I almost apologized to it for eating it. Almost. The kimchi came in hot with the tangy attitude, balancing everything like the responsible friend in the group chat. And the raw beef tartare. So delicious and clean, fresh, and seasoned like it went to culinary private school. I took one bite and immediately felt like I should be wearing a fancy watch. Overall, Sei‑Ko‑En is cozy, clean, delicious, and unintentionally comedic, because every dish had me making faces I hope nobody recorded. A must‑visit for anyone who loves Japanese BBQ with Korean soul and a side of "wow, I didn't know food could do that." Exploring great food, one bite at a time! Miguel C.

This restaurant opened over 40 years ago in the 1980s. They have not changed their seasonings or recipes since then. A lot of their sauces and kimchee is made in house (and has not changed in over 40 years). This is probably the best Japanese BBQ experience I've ever had and I've had A LOT of BBQ experiences. My favorites are items you typically cannot get anywhere else. Their raw beef liver sashimi and their raw minced beef are amazing. It's really hard to find these creations. If you like liver, then you'll be an instant fan. If you're a little squeamish then you can always grill it a bit before you eat it lol Their cuts of meat are also a league above the rest. I loved them all! Their wagyu tongue, negi tongue, gokujo kalbi, tokujo ro-su, and pork belly are all worth writing home about. They also serve vegetables and salad to go with the BBQ. We also tried their yukkejan soup which is their spicy beef soup. It was very tasty. Savory and not too salty. Very well balanced. I'd eat this alone on a cold rainy day. The ambiance is busy with moderate noise. Lots of Japanese locals were there that night and were simply having an amazing time socializing. Overall 10/10. Definitely coming back!
