Gra Pow is a popular spot in Mission Grove..they have a good selection of lunch specials, & customer service has always been great here..
A group of 10 of us went for drinks and dinner. The food was AMAZING! Staff was so friendly and accommodating. I will be frequenting this place often. They have a happy hour too!
Food was great, but service is horrible. Our waitress was Jessica, had to find her to ask for more water she went by our table twice & didn't ask how we were doing. She basically forgot about us! Was to busy looking at herself in the mirror & chatting with other employees. Management needs to get quality employees! Only reason I would go back is for the food.
No longer live in Riverside CA. But the Thai noodle & Thai specials always great. Wonderful, complete bar of different beer & alcohol selections.
Delicious! Lettuce wraps were nice, but be warned, fairly spicy. We also had the cheese wontons and pad see ew. All of it was excellent. They loose one star on the review for listing happy hour on the website still but not actually offering anything for happy hour. The staff was great and took good care of us for how crazy busy it was!
@grapow_ig in Riverside offers a variety of Thai dishes.After two visits I've tried several menu items. Some were great others were meh.I really enjoyed the garlic noodles with shrimp and heat level 7. They restaurant offers spice levels from 1-10 with a 4 being their default/standard spice level. I liked the option to intensify the heat. Unfortunately, the beef garlic noodles were nowhere near as good as the shrimp. The beef was chewy and dead.For appetizers I had the cream cheese wontons, a rainbow roll and tuna tartare. The wontons were great, who doesn't like fried cream cheese? The tuna and sushi were underwhelming.I also had both the specialty soups and they were surprisingly delicious! I'd definitely order both again. There was so much flavor packed into that broth.The last item I tried was the Seafood hot plate. It was tasty, no complaints there.If there's one thing I learned, your experience here really depends on your server. My first visit I had much better service than the second visit. My second server never mentioned the option to chose a heat level or brought the extra 3 top spices to my table that my first server did. When I mentioned it to them, they said "You have to ask for it." Well, how would I know I have to ask when the first time my server brought it without me asking?Overall, even with the menu and service misses, I'd prolly go back and try more from their extensive menu.
Was there on a Saturday and a few other times in the past, there were very few people, not crowded at all. Took them 1 hour as usual to deliver our food and that was only when I got up to remind them we were still waiting. The service is horrible, waiters don't care to check on the customers. They are too busy talking to each other.I give it a two star, this is for the chef because the food is very good and flavorful. Don't go there unless u have half a day to waste. I will be thinking twice.
Food was good but the service was painfully slow. There were 5 of us and we received our meals one at a time 15 minutes apart. By the time the last person received their meal, everyone else was ready to go and this was on a Monday. Wait staff was difficult to track down for refills on drinks and items were missing from our order. Overall not impressed with the place.
Absolutely delicious. Service was amazing! Friendly as heck. Everything came out hot and the drinks were delicious. Coming back for sure.
Was told happy hour was on but when cashing out we were told they haven't done it since covid started. Food was good but it was a disappointment to be lied to about happy hour.
