I was in the mood for soup and started searching for something close within 15 minutes or less from Chester. I reviewed the menu and the noodle soup with Tom Yum broth caught my eye. I arrived 20 minutes before they closed for lunch but they did not turn me away and say they were closing soon like many other businesses would. The soup was a generous size and I didn’t get to eat it all but believe me, I tried. I especially like the broth as it was exactly what I needed for a cold. I had the edamame and green tea with my meal. I was not rushed out of there but was told to take my time. The music was soothing and not too loud as I enjoyed my meal. I will visit again and try other entrees on the menu. I definitely recommend.

The food was fantastic. We started off with appetizers, curry puffs, and moneybags. I sampled a couple of their imported beers. I had the chili paste pork fried rice. The food was excellent, milder spice than I expected but detracted nothing from the taste. The service was great. I don't know how I've missed this place for so long, but it's on the rotation now.

I love the vibe. I got Taro Boba tea and it was delicious. I was planning on just grabbing it and going but I couldn't help but sit down. Would recommend and I'm definitely coming back for food one day

Appetizers: crispy fried wantons, chicken satay, crispy spring rolls Each of these comes with wonderful sauces. Try the peanut sauce with the satay! Garlic favor is awesome! The garlic is tastefully part of the dish without being overpowering. We have ordered this dish several times. It is that good. I have had the red and the yellow curries so far. The red was great, but the yellow was even better! The service is leisurely, but satisfactory. The prices are reasonable as well. This restaurant is highly recommended.

Amazing! October 9th went with my significant other after a mini adventure and getting reacquainted with the area.. saw Bangkok Thai and was not disappointed! Presentation and service, on point! The server was very attentive, and took care of us. The sauces were all on point.. I loved the cucumber one. The curry bites (look like potstickers in the photos) were awesome, and I'm not big on mega heat.. so I didn't get to finish my yellow curry, but it was great. Forgot to take a picture of the curry dishes, but the ice cream with the banana spring roll was yummy! After leaving I felt guilty because we were the last customers of the night, but I never felt rushed. _____ Update! Listen. I've been CRAVING those puffs. Went there today because the storm knocked out power, and I'm so in love. The sauces are still on point. Money bags are fantastic and are like mini pot pies but cutely wrapped! I got quite a few apps this time, and so worth it. Last time I did this, as seen above, I didn't like spicy. Listen, my boyfriend has tainted me, and I'm now in love with it. The yellow curry wasn't spicy after the Bangkok noodles dish (N7), but I really really enjoyed the soy garlic. It was pure heaven aromatic coming from the dish, and it didn't disappoint with flavor! Seriously, I missed the curry puffs, I wanted them for so long and it was better than last time. Ugh that cucumber sauce is gonna be my happy place!

The service is great at Bangkok Thai! The food never disappoints and is always delicious. I would recommend the spring rolls, dumplings in curry, drunken noodles, cashew noodles, and red curry! For dessert, definitely get the mango sticky rice!
