ThaiBowL Thai Restaurant

My family and I visited Thai Bowl for dinner while we were in the area. We’ve often heard rave reviews, and since we love Thai food, we were happy to finally satisfy our curiosity. Looking over the menu, I was surprised to see that it was smaller than a lot of other Thai restaurants we’ve been to, and they were missing a couple apps/entrees that I would have expected them to have. Nothing was necessarily bad, but we felt that it was average compared to our usual Thai spots. The chicken in our dishes was dry, and the portions were on the smaller side. Attentive staff and the food did all come out quickly. The dining room was clean and nicely decorated. I really wanted to like it more here, but we don’t see ourselves coming back.

While the simple decor of the place might suggest something else, the food is very good, as is the service. We kept in simple with dumplings, shrimp in a blanket, crispy spring rolls, friend rice, pad Thai and Tom Kia Gai soup and everything was very good. We also went on a Tuesday night and it was pleasantly packed. A good sign things will stay the same for years to come!

We’ve been eating here for years — I first started going when I worked at the dealership nearby, at least once a week. Even after moving to Meriden, I still pick up takeout whenever I’m in the area. Lately, I’ve been there more often just because I love the food so much. The pho is outstanding, the pineapple fried rice is always flavorful and fresh, and the chili duck and spring roll garlic beef never disappoint. The portions are generous, everything tastes made-to-order, and the consistency is impressive. Passing through for work with Manny Roofing puts me all over the state, but whenever I’m nearby, this place is my go-to lunch stop. Highly recommend — a must-try!

A lovely hidden hem with excellent Thai food. Each menu item is rich in flavor and was made with a lot of love. The crab rangoon and Thai coffee were my favorite and I would recommend them for sure. Everything is authentically Thai! (just be aware, you need to park on the road if you want to visit this restaurant)

God Awful customer service ON top of not getting the item as it was advertised. This size these is a disgrace , especially because we are familiar with the size if these rice paper wraps .And further berating your customer’s intelligence by putting a spit amount of peanut sauce that was extra .50 in this 1oz cup . I think Id like to start my food review career as of tonight. I asked for a refund . The waiter told me NO and then asked if I wanted more peanut sauce ? “Would more peanut sauce make you happy?” Wont be revisiting, wont recommend. We spent $68 . This trip and I wanted $12 of it back.
