A solid Thai spot but not at the top of my favorites list. It's pricier than my favorite Thai place back in NorCal, portion size is a bit smaller, and pad Thai noodles a bit gummier. The atmosphere isn't the most inviting, every menu on the wall says please no substitutions or special requests. While that isn't out of the ordinary for Thai restaurants, it was a bit more than I'm used to seeing. I wanted to give it a try because it was nearby and seemed to have a lot of positive reviews. The inside is very barebones without decorations. Each table has a sauce caddy with four different types of sauces, most of which I could not identify. Plates and utensils are by the water machine, you get those yourself. The food was brought to the table by the cashier. We couldn't decided between pad see ew, pad Thai, or basil fried rice. Usually I like to get my pad Thai with beef but they didn't have that option on the menu so we did chicken instead.

Stopped by here for a quick lunch on a Sunday while heading down to Palos Verdes. Split an order of pad thai (I know it's basic but I love pad thai) and it was more than enough for two people. You order/pay at the counter first and then can take a seat. Indoor and outdoor seating available. There's a self-service water spout next to the counter and you can also help yourself to utensils/sauces. The overall vibe is casual. Credit cards accepted. Parking is easy as this place is located in the Tokyo Centre plaza. It's good for big groups as well as kids.

Now I know I left a review for this establishment years ago but since it says I haven't, here is an update. They are still the small hidden gem surrounded by Japanese restaurants in a food court. Being half Thai, they hit all the authentic notes I remember having in Bangkok. Service was great. The 2 ladies had big smiles even in this California rainstorm. Order at the register, pay, and then get a number to place at your table for dine in. I always go for a soup especially in the cold days. Today had the boat noodle. So delicious! My colleague ordered the chicken pad Thai and said it was one of the better quality dishes from other Thai spots in the area. Everything had generous portions of meat so extra bonus!

Love their food- especially their Tom yum soup- super simple but the broth is deliciously flavorful! Their spicy shaken beef salad is so delicious with the sticky rice. Definitely recommend

Absolutely delicious soups! Had a great experience dining at this small but great location. The place is not going to wow you with its decorations but it has great service and great food! We tried the Boat House Noodle Soup and seafood Hot pot. The broth for the beef soup was rich and deep. It almost had a sweetness to it even though it was pretty spicy. Great combination. And the seafood was sour and spicy, with a great light flavor to it. You've gotta try both of these! The parking situation is not great on weekends because there are several popular restaurants in this place but it's so worth it!!

I really wanted hand-pulled noodles. I couldn't find a place locally and so I searched for the best pad see ew. Bowl Thai came up on google and I gave it a try. I have tried every Thai restaurant in the South Bay and this is the first place that reminded me of noodles on telegraph street in Berkeley. When I go back I'm going to add extra noodles and egg to it as well. This is now my go to spot for my noodles fix.

Discovered this place a few months ago and have been hooked on this place ever since. Their portions are good sizes. Highly recommend the Pad See Ew with beef, Pad Thai with chicken, and the Tom Yum Kai. We tried the Thai Thea and iced Thai Coffee for the first time today, and was not disappointed. Not too sweet, and had the right amount of tea / coffee flavor. Today, we were greeted with 2 friendly ladies up front who made sure that we had all of the sauces & peppers we wanted.

No beef today. Pad Thai is great! Located in a busy commercial complex. Food taste excellent. Service is awesome. It's a must try whenever you're in the area. 10-22-2023

Amazing pad see ew! They were able to make a vegetable, pad see ew, since I don't eat meat. It is definitely in the top three pad see ews I've ever had. Hubs loved the beef pad see ew. It's perfectly seasoned and not dry like some places. The young staff are very professional and kind. Restroom is clean. I recommend coming during off hours because the parking lot is huge, but super packed, especially at dinner time.
