Those working in Chinatown Point can find lunchtime in the mall even more stressful than working in the office. The corridors are congested and there are queues of hungry people standing in lines outside many of the restaurants and cafes there. Fortunately, there are eateries like Bowl Thai, a casual dining destination with a good range of classic Thai dishes. This Thai restaurant in Chinatown Point has comfortable seating and is a nice place to have a quick hearty meal.

Fast Lunch at Bowl Thai Restaurant
We ordered the Thai Beef and Beef Balls Noodles, the Stir-fried Basil Leaf Minced Chicken Rice with Egg ($8.90) and a side dish of Thai Fish Cakes ($4.90).
The noodles and rice dishes were freshly prepared to order. The wait for the food was short and the food was served piping hot.
The Stir-fried Basil Leaf Minced Chicken had a nice balance of flavours. It was only mildly spicy and quite tasty. It was a simple but satisfying dish.
The fish cakes were a little disappointing. They were thin and rather average taste-wise if they were not drizzled with the sweet sauce provided.
The beef noodles were good. The tender meat, bouncy beef balls, crunchy vegetables with smooth noodles cooked just right in a nicely seasoned broth was a delightful bowl of goodness. If we go back to Bowl Thai restaurant, we would order this again.
Bowl Thai Restaurant in Chinatown Point is an unassuming spot serving up tasty, inexpensive food. The good Thai food and the smiles and the jovial chatter of the Thai staff provided a perfect anti-dote to Chinatown Point lunchtime stress.
