Tried Sweet Rice at the Tokyo Central complex in Gardena and was pleasantly surprised as a vegetarian. While the menu doesn’t clearly list vegetarian options, I called ahead and they confirmed they can make yellow, red, and green curries vegetarian with no fish sauce. I ordered the yellow curry with potato and onion, and it was flavorful, comforting, and not too heavy. Chili oil on top added a nice kick. Others at the table enjoyed the curry noodle soup and wonton soup. Despite being Michelin Guide–listed, this is a very casual spot—order at the counter, relaxed seating, no formal dining—which makes it easy and approachable. Parking right out front is a plus. Food is good value for money! Bowl Thai grill is next door (same owners) so you can sit there if the restaurant is full.

Very friendly staff, easy parking, reasonable prices. I got the Thai Boat Noodle Soup and it was flavorful and rich but slightly salty. It had lots of meat pieces and I liked the pho noodles. The portion was perfect for filling me up, but I don't eat that much. My wife liked the tofu green curry. It was very lemon grassy. Overall, I would come back to try other dishes.

First time eating here. Ordering was easy. You can sit anywhere available. Service was great, if eating there, they take your food to your table. Food is good.
