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.
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)
I have ordered takeout from here multiple times and their food is delicious! My husband loves the crab Rangoon and it is by far his favorite compared to anywhere else. The plum sauce that is served with it is incredible but he also asks for sweet & sour as well.
I tried the Panang Curry recently which was a first for me in general and it had incredible flavor!
Otherwise, my go-to is the spicy basil fried rice which if you get “less spicy” then anyone can tolerate but I highly recommend getting “more spicy” if you can handle it.
This is my new favorite Thai place in CT! Their food is fantastic and their prices are very reasonable. They have the best Thai curry I've tried, and everything on the menu we've had has been super fresh and high quality. The dining area is small but the back seating area is cozy if you can get a spot there (it's usually very busy at dinnertime regardless of the day of the week). We will continue to return regularly!
I ordered take-out and it was my first time ever getting pho and dumplings which both are my favorite items from Thai restaurants. I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor and spice in the broth. The service was great, friendly, efficient, and my food was ready quickly. Most definitely will return!
First I want to start off by saying that the food here is phenomenal and delicious. I came here last Friday with my fiance and the pad thai was to die for and so were the spring rolls into crab rangoons. That being said when I first arrived to the restaurant I very much felt very snubbed. I almost felt as if I was inconveniencing the waitress and especially when asking for a refill for my water. The first half of my visit was not very welcoming. Halfway through my visit though I did notice a shift in attitude after I mentioned to my fiance how I was going to make this review and post pictures of the food online. After then the treatment was a lot better. Regardless I believe I would still come back here because the food was phenomenal. I would give them a second try especially since the manager treated us better than the server.
Great quality Thai food here with plenty of options. If you're in the area, be sure to.give it a try!

very good food and service.
The staff is super friendly and the food? Terrific! Highly recommend for casual fare. Try the coconut milk soup.
It’s the best restaurant ever no glaze I get the same thing every time it comes out so fast and it’s amazing. There steamed dumplings and chicken pad Thai every time it’s the best

Pad Thai had way too much fish sauce in it and the pho tasted like it was made with unfiltered city tap water - the broth tasted more like chlorine than any other flavor. Inedible for me. Not going to get food here again.
Amazing Thai food!! And great service
so great so yummy my favortie place
Amazing food and even better people. This is my second time having them this week because I couldn’t stop thinking about the Tom Kha soup and spring rolls.
Absolutely a hidden gem! Deserves 100 stars, delicious pho.

The portions are extremely small. Ridiculously small. I was especially shocked at the size of the spring roll compared what they show in the menu.
Would not recommend this place to anyone.
What a find! Perfect in every way !
Very bad restaurant. We ordered food here yesterday. The food was disgusting. There were maggots in the dishes. It was a vomit-inducing restaurant. The owner had a very bad attitude.
Fresh food, presented in beautiful Asian atmosphere. Friendly wait staff. BYOB.
Pretty good pad thai, good price
5 stars all the way , they do a fantastic job here . It is a small place but very much deserving of a trip here . Everything they make is fresh and delicious. I go here as often as I could .
Ordered delivery from them-Red curry, green curry, shrimps in blanket and crab rangoons. The curries were spectacular. The apps were lovely. Will be going back for sure! Delivery price is steep so I’ll be going back in person. Highly recomend! P.S. the spicy IS spicy! Go mild for your first time.
This is the first time I’ve actually wanted to write a restaurant review and let me just say 10000/10 !!! The pho was phenomenal dude I literally loved and ate everything. I am an extreme pho lover and wow this pho was literally everything. Get you a little chili sauce and lime in the broth ? BAM BEST BOWL YOUVE EVER HAD I AM NOT JOKING 🥲 And the environment is so cute and cozy, pls keep this restaurant living forever 💙
Pho was okay. Wasn’t the best one, lacked flavor and noodles were breaking too much. Not a lot of chicken either probably about 4-5 pieces
Loved going here with my sister for lunch. Met lovely staff and the atmosphere was great, I felt comfortable chatting with my sister over amazing food. Will be coming back!
I have had a very nice experience ordering from Thai Bowl! The service was quick and the site to order and view their menu was easy to use and order from! I chose the delivery option to receive my food and they were at my house in less than an hour! They food came piping hot! You can just tell it was super fresh and not something to be grossed out by. The food was clean as well. The way the fried rice didn't feel to oily or overpowered with rice, was just my cup of tea! The portion was a bit small but enough to keep myself full! This place is extremely family friendly. From the outside it seems cozy and homey, somewhere you can feel welcomed and appreciated for being a customer. Thank you Thai Bowl for being you.
I like this place. It's nice inside, the service is good, the food is good, and the prices are reasonable. I got my drunken noodles 5 star spicy and my eyes were watering and my nose was running, but that's what I asked for.
Food was good. I really enjoyed the TomYum soup.
Their chicken noodle Pho is delicious 😋 ❤️❤️❤️
I've only ever had the pleasure of getting take out from here and even so- the food is amazing!
Their service is fast and when the food gets to my house it's packaged nicely and sanitary! I always try to get something new every time I order and I'm NEVER disappointed. I'm excited to eat at the restaurant, thank you so much for the amazing cuisine ❤️
Excellent food at excellent prices! The pad thai, drunken noodles, fried rice, and crab rangoons were all a hit! Wonderful atmosphere and attentive staff make this a must visit for anyone searching for an authentic Thai meal in the Waterbury area.

Always a great meal! The entire staff are great too!!
Nestled in the heart of Watertown, Thai Bowl is a gem that beckons lovers of authentic Thai cuisine. From the moment you step through the entrance, the aroma of spices and the vibrant atmosphere transport you straight to the streets of Bangkok. I recently had the pleasure of dining at this establishment, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Get the Thai bowl special on a cold winter day, it will warm your soul.
Consistently excellent 👏
Every visit, great food, and service 👏
The Best Restaurant in the area!!
The pho is very tasty and at a good price! It was an enjoyable experience with the food aspect that even my daughter enjoyed, who can be a bit picky. The only downfall was that there was no ambiance to help block out the patrons sitting nearby that were loudly swearing for the duration of our time at the restaurant.
Delicious delicious delicious food, a very warm and inviting ambiance and very accommodating staff, clean facilities!
Chicken pho was delicious
This is a super casual sit-down place. Note, IT IS BYOB. The chicken pad thai is a solid choice; I've had pad thai all over the US and in Thailand. This one was one of the better ones. The fresh spring rolls were great! The chicken wings were a bit too crispy on the outside, but they were tender and juicy inside. They are a battered wing of some type. I'll definitely be back when in the mood for Thai food.
Went for lunch today. We had the Radna Noodles and the Seafood Delight. Both dishes were outstanding. Very quick service and friendly, attentive staff.
Always on point. Delicious food, friendly, efficient service and great price.
Food is very good.
One of my go-to spots for Pho in CT. I have been coming here since they opened and just been there recently… and the broth has always been excellent, but I think they perfected it even more. The staff and owners are also very nice and it’s very warm/welcoming inside. They also let you byob and there is a conveniently located package store 10 seconds away.
Great people and great food!
Love this place! Every time never fails, good food, done fast, always super tasty and nice staff!
Great people, This is my first experience with Thai food and I loved it!! Got the crispy chicken spicy with basil rice and it was incre!! Will definitely be coming here more often. Live right up the road for years and this is my first time here. Dont make the same mistake....go there now!!!
I ordered Golden Crispy Chicken with Basil. This basically was a 3-day old thin sliced chicken cutlet that had probably been dipped back in the fryer to bring it back to life. It didn't work. Well over done, no scallions, and one soggy basil leaf. I most likely won't eat here again.
Picked up dinner to go for myself and a friend, food travels well and tasted delicious!
I love my pineapple rice. The place is ckean, the portions are great and excellent costumer service.
Really impressed with this lovely little place! Food was fresh and delicious with excellent, courteous service. This was our first time and we will definitely be back! Very reasonable prices too!
For cultural dishses look no further than here! The reason this restaurant is so top notch is all of their food is prepared to any variety you'd enjoy most for example their volcano shrimp(my personal favorite) can be cooked any flavor they list on the menu and the consistency is superb definitely a must stop by
Absolutely delicious! I really enjoy a drunken noodle, and theirs has just the right amount of spice to it. Right in the goldilocks zone. The dumpling soup was excellent too, with a very tasty broth. Treat yourself and try the Crab Rangoon. The sauce that comes with it is worth it alone. A lovely and unique sweet yet slightly citrusy combination that compliments the creamy and fried flavors perfectly.
Fast friendly service and excellent excellent food
Good Pho but the lack of cilantro and fish sauce gave it 3 stars
Finally a Thai place I enjoy! The food was flavorful and clean. I got the extra spicy pad Thai and it was so good. I was so happy that they actually made it really hot. Make sure you can handle spice before ordering this :)
Delicious, clean food at good prices
Food is good. So delicious. But the delivery is too much. Same street and they charge 7 something for the delivery
This is my new favorite Thai place in CT! Their food is fantastic and their prices are very reasonable. They have the best Thai curry I've tried, and everything on the menu we've had has been super fresh and high quality.

Best pho I've had in CT!! The service and prices are just icing on the cake !! Never had a bad meal or a bad experience...make sure you go early or make reservations!!!
Omg I don't know where to even start I live in waterbury about 15-20 minutes away from this place but its worth the drive the food is always so good and so fresh I love the pho I love the fresh spring rolls with the peanut sauce oh gosh everything we ever order is always just so delicious I would have given a 5 star but the last time we went which was about 2 weeks ago but the food was delicious and staff was very friendly downside is the lady that served us it took her about 15 minutes to come back to our table to take our order for drinks we were about to leave but decided to stay since we always do take out so we wanted to dine in for the first time but she took forever and crazy thing is after we put in our orders/appetizers we got them pretty fast so I love this place just need to improve the staff timing and inside is this cute little tables and all its very nice if your coming to waterbury CT and want something different to try PLIS PLACE IS THE PLACE TO GO
One of my favorites in town! My favorites are the beef pho, drunken noodles and the chicken pad thai- which leaves me struggling to decide which I want every time I come. This is also the only place I’ve been able to get Pho to go successfully where it still tastes amazing at home.
Pho bo was A+. Great presentation for the to-go order, easy to assemble on the go!
As soon as food prepared by Thai Bowl enters my home, I know my stomach will not be empty by the end of the meal. The sticky, rectangle noodles in the Pad Thai compliments the crispy roasted peanuts and the bright taste of scallions scattered throughout. The peanut sauce in the house salad brings a new, nutty element to the clean, fresh, mildly spiced lettuce. The crab rangoon is stuffed with filling, coating every crevice inside of it's golden crispy shell. The bright orange, sweet ice tea cuts through the warmth of the food, providing a refreshed palette for the rest of your meal. While I eat my meal in the warm light of my living room, I can only watch and grin as my dad slurps down their soup. He makes sure to leave some in the fridge for the next day, savoring his sips meticulously, not wanting to waste the carefully crafted veggies swimming in a light yet flavorful broth. So thank you, Thai bowl, for the smiles and warm meals you given my family. To you, we may just be another order. But to us, you will never be just another Thai restaurant. :)
Red curry with duck is something that dreams are made of!
Recent update: I received my food and I had asked for mild spicy , and when I got it home it was so spicy I couldn’t even eat it. I called them, and it was pulling teeth to get it re-made. I was told they won’t give me a refund and when I told them I just wanted it made correctly they said to bring in the old one and they would make it again and then they would never exchange out any food again in the future…as if I was the one who made it wrong. being in the food industry myself, ya figure you’d want your customers to be satisfied. If my customers weren’t satisfied with the meal they could send it back and get something else or a refund. My sister ordered broccoli on her meal and didn’t get it and was charged $2 extra for something she never received and i also tried the yellow curry, it was decent however, the portions have definitely gotten way smaller, I measured the white rice I got with it and it was less than a 1/4 cup, white rice is probably the cheapest thing and they get it in bulk smh. It’s pitiful given the price..expect lunch portions but pay dinner prices, other than having any issues with food the staff are really friendly and nice. . (Original review):been coming here the the last 2 since I moved to Watertown…Flavor of food is decent although not always consistent, but what makes me upset is the portion size when you take out. I ordered a dinner sized Thai fried rice and my 4 year old ate the whole thing and was still starving !! So I went back and got another and there was literally 3-4 spoonfuls of rice in there and the rest was veggies. I was told to order extra rice , which they charge me for. I ordered for the Thai fried rice , not just a container full of sautéed veggies. Then the soup. They gave me a Ben and Jerry’s pint sized container that was only a little over half full of broth. For $8. Then I spent $16 on pad Thai with duck, and there was only THREE edible pieces of duck. The rest was bone and grizzle. So if you’re ordering take out for 2 people be prepared to spend a minimum of $45 for a portion that’s not even big enough to satisfy the appetite of a picky 4yr old child.
Consistently delicious. Polite staff. Clean environment. Will continue returning for more!
amazing!
Friendly, clean, bright atmosphere...and oh, the food is good too! 4.5 stars!
Bones in crispy chicken thai rice
Order of Thai rice was pretty much a white onion bowl
We found 2 slivers of egg, no peas, scallions. Just oily brown rice with lots of white onions; literally. Portions for take out notably small for dinner. Times have changed. They used to be very good. Better thai places in the area and surrounding towns. Unfortunate
Delicious food, friendly people!
Food’s good. Comparable to Chiang Mai in Naugatuck however the portions are WAY too small for what they charge. As much as we like the food, we likely will avoid the place because of the portion size.
Fresh, hot, and reasonably priced Thai food. Have loved every meal and appreciate the authenticity.
This place is a local treasure. My family and I eat in and take out weekly and have never been disappointed. Great duck, Pad Thai, curry and more.
Quick, friendly service. BYOB, Love that. Very clean and relaxing atmosphere.
Has slipped a lot.
Great quality tai
Food is great and fresh. Staff are friendly
ผ่านมาแถวนี้เลยลองแวะเข้ามากิน
รสชาติใช้ได้บอกว่าคนไทยกิน ให้ทำลดหวานหน่อย
ลาบและส้มตำผ่าน
Best thai food I've ever had.
Friendly staff and service. Delicious food. Nice atmosphere.
Simply the best! A gem for sure.
Our family loves Thaibowl, really great Thai food. During Covid, last year, we ordered many times from them. Always fresh & tastes amazing. Our whole family really loves the food. Get it a try, if you haven't already!
The food was fresh! Wait staff was pleasant. Clean place. If your a tea drinker, their ginger tea is Amazing!!
This was by far the worst Thai food I’ve ever had. I should’ve gone to Burger King. How this place has nearly 5 stars baffles me.
Delicious food, friendly staff, reasonable prices and very clean.
Absolutely delicious. Not much more i can say than that.
We were told about this restaurant by two people who had gone at different dates.It is a must try.The food is clean and fresh with great thai spices .We have gone back and it is consistently good.
I Have been a patron of thai bowl for about 6 years or so. I worked locally so it was one of my go to. I brought my family and introduced them, they loved it too! So much so they would order togo and drive from Prospect. WELL, AS TIME WENT ON THE PLATES SEEMED TO BECOME INCREASINGLY SMALLER. My 7 year old son absolutely LOVES ordering chicken noodle soup, the Quart we used to get for chicken broth was sized down and never filled to the top. It was just over half. The chicken and noodles were also reduced. As a business owner myself, I understand food prices have gone up. Totally understandable, but they increased their prices and decreased the amount of food drastically. I still visit at least once a week because it is one of 4 items on my sons eat list. We LOVE THIS PLACE BUT FEELING CHEATED. AS A LOYAL CUSTOMER I am fed up.....this is just wrong.
Excellent! Fresh and authentic...just go!
Great food and fast service!
Best Thai around. Food is always very fresh. The staff is always friendly and helpful.
The food gas delicious.
We made a reservation and it was a good idea for dinner on a Friday.
The service was remarkable.
We brought our own bottle of wine and the staff provided the wine glasses.
I loved the decoration.
Plenty of parking. We parked in the road.
Nice neighborhood.
There was a piece of hair in my food on the fresh spring rolls. She switched it but didn't even offer me a refund. Plus they were not tasty
My wife and I love this place. There's something for everyone. I have enjoyed everything I've tried. The Pad Thai is fantastic. The Tom Kha soup is one of the best things I've ever had. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did
I liked it very much, I advise you to visit.
Can not say enough good things, food is excellent and staff is kind and courteous if there was a grade higher than A+ Thai Bowl should have it !
We've eaten here probably a dozen times, and it's always been a good experience. My daughter is vegan and they have some excellent options, including vegetable broth for soups. Open for eat in now, service is excellent.
The Thai tea is delicious. The food and staff were wonderful. A cute place for a date!
They are always so nice, fast and everything tastes great.
Delicious meal
Server was awesome had a Thai salad with soup good
Very good
Thai Bowl is the best Thai food in Connecticut!
Fresh and delicious Thai food..my faves are the Pad Thai noodles, Drunken noodles, any fried rice and Pho soup! A bit on the pricey side but worth it.
Had it to go, it was extremely good!
Consistently excellent Thai food at reasonable prices. Eat here
My favorite Thai place in the area! I always get the Panang curry and it's amazing every time. Chicken Satay appetizer is delicious as well.
In the midst of COVID-19. This restaurant has been a little beacon of hope for those of us wanting something a little different but still familiar. I often order: Pad Thai, Spicy Pad Thai, Crispy Pad Thai, Noodle Soup, Green Curry, Drunken Noodle, Radna Noodle, Coco Sticky Rice, Tom Kha Soup, Som Tum, and I've had the Chili Duck. Everything is excellent! When I ask for spicy versions, she asks me how hot I want it, on a scale of 1 to 5, and I say 3...and it's just at the edge of 'too much' for me, which means it's perfect! The food always tastes good -- they've never gotten my order wrong -- and they're done very quickly, always ready by the time I pick up my order. This little place is a Watertown gem, and I hope they keep cooking for a long time to come.
Amazing food and service at great prices
Love this place - hands down! My go to place at all times! Tai fried rice with crispy chicken- yummmm my favorite!
Very very yummy, they are so good that I don't care how expensive they are. Very good place very delicious food. Go there now what are you waiting for get up and go eat there😋

Food is fresh and always good!
Good. Had a shrimp, noodle and bean sprout soup. I liked it.
It was my first time there. Very nice people.
I appreciate having something other than pizza and burgers (which I don't eat) in this town.
Staff are very friendly and sweet.
Prices are very affordable.
