Do yourself a favor and never order here! Not only rude and unprofessional service but the quality is the worst!! I was so upset my thai tea was disgusting filled with black stuff all over the bottom! I called them back once I got home and she wasn't helpful and hung up. 5 minutes later another employee had called me back to yell at me? What kind of business is this? read more

This business is either filled with liars or lazy workers or most likely both. Their website and their official menu says they close at 10:00pm on Saturday. However, I got there at 8:00pm only to be turned away because they close at 7:30pm. There's no special sign that says they are on special hours. I guess they can just decide to lie whenever they want about their hours. If they're too lazy to put up special hours signs or to even update their own website, I imagine that's the type of effort they put into their food. What a waste of time and gas. I actually just sent an update request to the Yelp admin to change their hours so that no one else has to get their time wasted like I did. read more

My family used to love this place when I was growing up but it is not the same anymore. THIS was in the tom yum. My mom is in HOSPICE and was ordering their food because we used to enjoy it. They are lucky she hasn't gotten sick from it yet. We will not be eating here again, you shouldn't either. read more

I order here regularly but lately the new guy that handles the front has been very condescending and treats his customers like crap. He called me with attitude just because I showed up 30 minutes after I placed my order. He was very annoyed for showing up later for my food? I will definitely travel to another location outside my area now. If you want to be served by this rude individual I would suggest to take your business somewhere else. Very overpriced, might as well take your business to a nice fancy restaurant. If I could give 0 stars I would. read more

Yelp said they're open til 930 pm on Sunday and even outside the restaurant the hours they operate are displayed but when we got there, the girl that has long hair and with attitude said that they wont allow us to dine in because she said that they're closing at 8pm. We were there at 7:30pm and I said it means you're still open and you should allow us to dine in. She said "NO and we're closing soon". But anyway our order of BBQ chicken is burnt and looked boiled not bb'qued. Were not going back in there due to pricey food with bad attitude and they're food is not as good as some other thai restaurants. It's not worth it. read more

Despite all the negative reviews and critiques about their interior design, there is just something home-y about this Thai Original BBQ on Carson Street. My parents and I still love the Thai Original BBQ with shrimp fried rice and that sweet glaze sauce to dip the chicken strips in. I don't even care what the inside looks like. Besides, I'm sort of anti-Hipster anyway because honestly these long-lasting flavors have helped this Thai BBQ stay in Carson for so long! Obviously they are doing something right! read more

The quality of food is deteriorating. The prices went up ( understandable) but they give you lesser portion of your meal. The lady that takes your order ( unknown) needs training in customer service. No manners. They inform you 10 minutes to prepare your food and became 25 minutes to make it and she has the nerve to give you an attitude. ‍ read more

Some things are destined to be just like how my mom and I found ourselves at Thai Original BBQ. I've had Thai Original BBQ on my bookmarks for awhile now. When it came to where to celebrate my mom's birthday, we had other places in mind but by some stroke of luck those places were closed for the Labor Day holiday and we found ourselves going to Thai Original BBQ. We ordered two dishes. We got glass noodles with chicken ($8.75) and the chicken ruby dinner ($11.75). We found the food to be very good in both value and taste! The portion size is really good. There was lots of noodles and the chicken ruby is one whole baby hen. We had plenty for our meal as well as leftovers. Both dishes were delicious! The glass noodles were very flavorful. I liked the touch of eggs scrambled in with the noodles and the various veggies that were stir-fried. Our favorite however the chicken ruby. It was a tender and crispy chicken packed with pork and shrimp fillings. It's definitely a dish to be shared. It was a good place for my mom's birthday! Everything was delicious and very fulfilling! read more

This restaurant has been in the business since 1994 which serves authentic Thai cuisine. Good food, big servings with very affordable prices! What's not to love about this place? It has a cute ambiance with a train running on a track that is mounted near the ceiling. Customer service is also prompt and efficient. We usually order the following: Appetizer: Beef or Chicken Sate - Marinated and grilled sliced beef/chicken with a mix of spices and coconut milk. These are served on bamboo skewers that comes with a peanut sauce and cucumber salad. Rice: Chicken or Pork or Beef Fried Rice - This can be your entrée already if ever you're just craving for fried rice! It has big chunks of meat already. House Special: #S2 B.B.Q. Pork Spare Rib Dinner - Thai B.B.Q. pork spare ribs served with shrimp fried rice and house sauce. Soup : Tom Yum Goong soup - which is a hot & sour soup that has shrimp, mushrooms and tomato. It's my favorite! Good to eat on a cold night. :) Noodles: The Phad Thai is Thai rice noodles with bean sprouts, shrimp & egg which are all scrambled in a mild sauce. Lunch specials range from $6.95 - $8.95. Pretty decent prices! They also serve Boba, domestic beer, imported beer, wine, etc. Of course, I always order their Thai Iced Tea. :) read more

I've been going to thus place sonce they opened in the 90s. the flavor is still good, but the amount of beef on the sate stick (s8) was than half the stick. it used to be the while stick! for Almont $20 it should be the whole stick! if it wasn't for that I'd give it 4 stars, but i gave it 3 for old times sake. read more

It's been a while since I've been here. This time the food was so much better. Either they changed cook or read my review.. haha Everything I had complained about has improved. The beef satay is more tender and you can taste the marinated meat. The Pai Thai was sweet, but yet the noodles were not sticky at all. There's not much Thai cuisine around this area, so it was great to see this place improve! read more

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.

The service super sucks and rude old lady. She riled us off. Old lady doing ripped off to all customers, needs to get reported and audit their charges and services read more

I have to say that I have been coming here half my life, but it was not the same during this visit. S-1 was still the same, but the vibe from the restaurant was not like it used to be. The place is not so clean which was a turn off for me. The only reason why I am giving it a 3 is because my son enjoyed the fried rice and he was happy with it. Otherwise, I am unsure if I would come back here to eat. Next time if I am feeling like eating an S-1, I would probably take it to go. Again I was jut turned off by the workers and how the walls were dirty. read more

No wonder they don't have a good review. I ordered Three S2 BBQ ribs sad the say ribs are small & bony. I'm very disappointed. Not good so I will never go there & I don't recommend this place. Very POOR quality of food. read more

One of my favorite Thai restaurants. They're a little expensive but it's worth it. You get alot of food and it taste great.

Hmmm, not too entirely sure why their reviews are so low. My family and I have been life time customers & have always left with our tummies full and satisfied. First and foremost their mee krob is a huuuuge must! So tasty & so crispy ! Their pad see ew packs a punch in the flavor department, & their fried rice is to die for. We've always received our food in a timely manner & their service is so attentive ! 10/10 recommend this place read more

Normally I don't do this but I feel like a review is needed. Tonight me and my family came out for my father's birthday and we looked online ahead of time to see that they closed at 10 PM we arrived at 8:06 PM and they said that they were closed no special signs no update online nothing. I'm disgusted how the receptionist treated us when we walked in very rude and unprofessional when I showed them online that they close at 10 she said that they didn't do that. And she didn't know where I got that information from but it was clearly online stay far far away from this place. read more

This is supposed to be the S1 BBQ Chicken dinner 1/2 half chicken with fried rice. Normally the meal is served with a full bottom of rice and the chicken on top. The pictures reflect that the restaurant cut the pieces in half the only full piece I received was the drumstick with bottom of rice half full. Purchased on 09-22-2019 I called and complained. I was told the day crew was gone and to bring the pictures. I went back today and I spoke Christina the same waitress from my previous order and I advised her of my issue. She didn't understand my issue. She goes to the back,the manager nor owner refused to come out because they know they are cheating the to go customers. I got my last meal from them today which by the way the breast was cut in half. ‍‍Never ever will I go to that Thai BBQ place in Carson. The original they are NOT! read more

This will be my last meal at this place. Been eating here for quite some time and they have continually gone down hill. I didn't think the quality could get any worse but to my surprise they exceeded my expectations. I was really hoping that things had turned around but apparently a profit holds much more value than the customer satisfaction. Every time I spend well over $100 and tip generously but this was the last time. Good luck to your establishment. read more

Ordered the Tom Yum Going, came out lukewarm. Heating element died before it got even close to hot. Waitress went to go heat it up. Heated up wasn't much better. No interaction afterwards while eating. Had to wait and wait and finally ask for her to bring my bill in an empty restaurant. Worst part, the waitress assumed she was getting my change for tip and I had to ask her for it back. This place is the worst restaurant I've been to in years. read more

4 stars for the food it's good. 3 stars because they ask for the covid vaccine card to dine in

Their food was not as good as before but their service was pretty good. I noticed the place is getting old and there's lack of Thai atmosphere liked they used to be. read more

Where do I start? Seriously I cannot believe I went against my own policy of trusting other Yelp reviews but this place is not even remotely good. We walk in and the "hostess" is sitting behind a counter and ask "oh do you all want to eat here". That should have been our first hint of not to eat here. Our waitress who happened to be our hostess asked what we would like to eat instead of asking if we were ready to order. Well let's starts with drinks and appetizers. So we rushed and ordered our food and one of asked if something on the menu was good? The waitress said honestly "nobody ever orders that" processing by laughing so of course that was ordered to try it. About 15 minutes later food arrives for two out of three of us. Once we were half way done with our another lady comes out and says oh the special dish you ordered isn't available at all. Ugh what the hell took so long to let us know you didn't have it. So that is strike three and the lady gives us a menu and says "you have to pick something else" ugh what other option do we have? So the vegetable curry was ordered (see pictures and video). The curry was brought out and it literally was frozen vegetables on top of a bed of watered down curry. I have never seen a more watered down meals in my life. Please stay away from this place unless you want a super under par experience and frozen food that is in no way fresh from any kitchen. I will update in hours in case this food decides to go south even more from my inside guts blowing out. read more

Came here awhile back, had the yummy fish cakes and hot and sour soup. The service is not that good, inattentive staff. Food was seafood soup, not lemony enough and not hot nor sour enough. The massaman was really too sweet and not enough curry taste. Tough beef. This is NOT real Thai food, too Americanized almost like a chop suey, Thai style. Interior looks a bit old. Wont ever be back. The 2 chubby asian servers were NOT very attentive nor friendly, they suck as waitresses. Yeesh read more

Had dinner with family on Sunday night. We only ordered two entree and an appetizer. However, they completely forgot our appetizer. We have to remind them our order when we were halfway done to our dinner. So we had to bag it to go. There are not many people in the restaurant for them to tend to. Not sure what the delay but it's not a good experienced for my family and I. Worst place for me and I definitely not going to repeat dining at this location. read more

This restaurant deserve no star. They need to make sure and check their food quality. I purchased yesterday (05/19/21) Chicken BBQ with shrimp fried rice (S1) and their Tom yong gong soup. My daughter and I, got us so sick ( nauseated and diarrhea) ) read more

This place has definitely changed for the better. Although one side is closed, probably for maintenance, the side where the customer is sitting is clean, and the ambiance is pleasant. The staff is nice and very accommodating to the point where I worry that she may burnt out herself because she is too nice. Last but not least, the food. I ordered a chicken BBQ with fried rice and their seafood soup. If you're reading this and seeking comments on perfection, then I will say the seafood soup needs a little bit more sourness, that the shrimp fried rice is not cooked to perfection because it is somewhat clingy, and a very small part where the most meat of the chicken is in is dry. But I will tell you this: the taste is delicious, and you are in a restaurant that serves delicious food for under 20 dollars; go seek perfection in a restaurant that serves $80 or more per serving or plate. Final thought: This restaurant is definitely worth trying, and I will definitely come back! read more

We have been coming to Thai BBQ for awhile now. Love the Teriyaki Salmon plate, the BBQ combo, and the Dearest Crab! You can never go wrong with any if those selections. No extra fancy dining experience but it's clean and food is good. We will return soon. read more

Thai Original BBQ Carson - PUBIC HAIR IN MY FRIED RICE!!! - Thai Near Me - Carson, California

I have been patronizing this franchise (first, their location in LA) for decades and sometimes can't help but think of how things used to be. Regardless, I'll keep this review to my experiences at the Carson location. Hands down, Thai BBQ gives you the most bang for your buck. You won't get this amount of food for the same price at any other Thai restaurant. Their food is pretty decent. Most of the time, I get the BBQ chicken dinner. The chicken is always really good and never dry. The sauce they give you is my favorite thing on the plate. They used to give more shrimp with the shrimp fried rice, but now they give only 2 pieces with dinner. I've had the wings of angel a few times before. It's not bad, but the minced stuffing is honestly questionable. They tell you what it's made up of, but how do you really know..? I haven't had any really bad experiences here, so we keep coming back. Service is quick and you'll probably have enough for leftovers. read more

One of the OG restaurants in Carson. This place has been in business for a quite some time now. The place could use a little upgrade inside but this will always be my favorite go-to-spot for Pork Spare Ribs in Carson. All of their plates come with Shrimp Fried Rice. What I order here all the time is the Thai Bbq Pork Spare Ribs Plate. Served with sweet and sour sauce, they're so addictive and delicious! The ribs are so tender and has this deep flavor. I can never finish it in one sitting because serving is pretty big for one person. I recommend getting their cucumber salad on the side. For a small cup, its $0.25. They put cucumbers, red onions, and jalapeños in the salad. It sounds simple but the sweet and tangy flavor of the vinaigrette just goes so well with the Spare Ribs. read more

Been coming here for years. Back in the day if you're from this area, this is every family's go to for special occasion. Lol!! (Yea you know it! ) I never get tired of their BBQ chicken. I barely eat rice but their fried rice is yummy. There's really nothing extraordinary about it but for somehow it tastes good with the BBQ chicken. I've been at the Cerritos Branch and Hollywood. This branch and the one at Cerritos are about the same. I don't know what it is but the one in Hollywood tastes way better. Although I love my S1, I'm only giving 3 stars. Now I only come here if I'm really really really really REALLY craving for it. It looks unkempt. The place is a mess. Please update your store. read more
