Bangkok Chef

Five stars for food portion + price + value + taste. I normally cook my own curry but opted to buy tonight. My bro-in-law bought from here last week and I got to taste it and I loved all the veggies they put. So I decided to take a break from cooking and ordered take out. Ordered Beef Basil + Red Chicken Curry. When I say the portion was big, these 2 Ala carte orders was enough to feed 4 adults and 1 teen. I cooked rice so that's why we ordered the Ala carte orders. Wait time was really long though. Lady said 15 mins when I called in but when I got there I waited another 15mins. That's what I get for rushing there. The food was great and so tasteful. Loved the bamboo and bell peppers and eggplants in the curry and Beef Basil. Shop was small hole in the wall place but perfect for take out. Not much parking and it's really tight in front of the shop but o think there's parking in back. Definitely a must try if you're craving Thai curry or Beef Basil. I have yet to try the other dishes. Place is busy with online and phone in orders so I'm sure the other menu items are great.

Bangkok Chef is my quick go-to whenever I want Thai takeout. They always pick up the phone quickly and consistently quote 15 minutes as the wait time. My go-to order here is their panang curry. I like to sub chicken for the pork (just a personal preference) and get the curry ala carte. Ala carte is more expensive but you get a lot more curry. Easy to cook rice myself and eat with the curry.Other things I enjoy from here are their fried chicken wings, spring rolls, and Chef's Combo (lemongrass grilled chicken with two spring rolls over vermicelli).

I've been ordering food here for years and each time I visit, my experience has been on the decline. I placed a phone order and the man who answered was extremely rude and impatient. I couldn't understand what he was saying because he kept mumbling, so to make sure he took down my order correctly, I had him confirm my order. He quickly repeated the order in a mean and annoyed tone. When I went to pick up my phone order, the cashier was sitting on the chair (with no customers in line and he wasn't on the phone). He didn't acknowledge my presence or rush to get up to see if I was ordering or picking up. From my side, I said I was picking up my order. Once he spoke, I realized it was the same rude/grouchy many that answered the phone. He typed in my order and just mumbled my amount. Then grabbed the bag and shoved it over. No "thank you", no "here you go". Completely aggressive and rude for no reason. He was a middle aged man with glasses and a ponytail. Maybe he needs to stay in the back, away from paying customers with that unchecked attitude. Also, they automatically charged me $0.25 for a bag that I didn't ask for, nor had a choice to take or not. You also have to grab your own utensils as they do not provide that or napkins automatically.

Bangkok Chef has been a normal go to for me as the food is pretty consistent and is pretty tasty parking can be a challenge sometimes but i am usually pretty lucky in that department. I do like their Pad Thai as it is tasty and the Green Curry is also one of my favorites.

Food is left here! I especially love their green mango salad! Similar to green papaya salad! Love their dishes hers from their curries to stir fries! Love how they also include rice in the order too in the same container.

This location is the original from the other 3 on the island. They have a good selection of popular thai dishes that are made fresh to order. Most orders here are for take out but they have a few tables if you want to dine in. The dishes all had good flavor and nice serving size. Most of the entrees come with your choice of white, brown or sticky rice which is nice since many thai restaurants charge extra for rice. Since all orders are made fresh, be prepared to wait but it is worth the time.

I used to work near this Bangkok chef and every now and then I would come back to fill in at this location and consider eating Bangkok chef since it was only a walk away. I guess since I've only eaten here once out of a whole year of being next door might explain why it's good, I just don't know how it can be great.The food is good, especially since I eat it pretty fresh and the service is fast if you don't order during lunch break. I just wish that there was something more as far as depth of flavor. I know this place is pretty convenient and can be considered almost like fast food, but I would sure hope with the cost I would get something that warrants what I pay. I've tried other Thai places with similar vibes or even at food truck events and the food I order comes out hot and fresh and makes me craving and wanting more. I guess that's what I expect from Bangkok Chef.You gotta admit, the location is convenient and the food comes out fast and service is nice, but maybe it's just me but the food makes me left wanting more. This is someplace that is on my list of food to consider whenever I'm in the area.

Nuuanu Bangkok Chef is easy to miss but is a great place to eat at (or take out). Their seating area is slightly to the side and has 8 tables and up to 24 seats. It isn't a closed door+AC style restaurant and is sort of a covered open area to the side. The only drawback to dine-in is that water cups are $0.35. The food we got is as follows:Mango Tapioca: 9/10. This was a recommended flavor (other being Okinawan Sweet Potato). It was refreshing and not too light on the taste.Pad See Ew (Pork): 10/10. This is probably my favorite dish from all Thai cuisine. The broccoli was not overcooked, the noodles were nice and soft, and the pork was nice and tender. Everything you could ever ask for!Spring Rolls: 9/10. Freshly prepared with mint, Romaine Lettuce, and the chili sauce. Great crisp and taste with 6 per order as well.Chicken Wings (Ala Carte): 8/10. I enjoy different chicken wings from different spots, and it's hard for me to ever go above 8* from Thai Style. Often, the chicken is cooked extra crispy (at the expense at slightly less juicy meat). This portion is actually surprisingly good (14 pcs!) and comes with cucumbers and chili sauce. Honestly, it's one of the better thai style chicken wings I've had, but it's hard to compete with a chicken specialty restaurant.There are several Bangkok Chef restaurants, and each has their own perks and preparations. I find that I usually enjoy this Nuuanu location more than the others.

Same as others that had poor service and mediocre food.Waited long time for food while phone orders are cooked first.Pad Thai was too sweet and chicken too dry.
