Bangkok Thai Restaurant

I've been meaning to come here since the new owners opened as I've heard lots of good things! Location and parking were much easier than I expected and both surprisingly convenient. First green flag: Smells great walking in. Second, what a lovely place to take a rest from the hustle and bustle of uptown! This newly renovated establishment is clean, relaxing and a treasure trove of green flags for me: fresh, delicious, spicy, meaty, salty, sour, crispy and sweet. I did notice good vegetarian options available too. (I'm not vegatarian but it is a mark of a good Thai menu.) A lot of take out and delivery orders were being picked up on this weekday leaving plenty enough room for our larger party so that was great. It is always good sign when the local residents are picking up meals for home. If I lived in the area, this would be a weekly pick up order for me too because the food was fan-freaking-tastic ya hear?!Curry and duck choices were thoroughly enjoyed by our table of experienced diners. I tasted four curries, all winners in my book and a must for a good Thai restaurant. Yellow and massaman were my family's favorites. My personal favorites though were the appetizers, soup and deserts! Those were really special. I regret not taking more photographs but was carried away with excitement. I recommend for dining in, takeout, delivery but especially parties, you pick up a few orders of Bangkok wings, golden bags sweet rice with custard, and crispy roti, for a most impressive spread! Tom Yum and Tom Ka are my usual lunch orders so I tried the Tom Ka and liked it as much as Thai Ocha, my normal favorite. For reference, I like mine spicy but a little sweet, served hot.The restroom was super clean and private, bonus points from me. Service was attentive but not intrusive, just perfect for a nice, calm evening dinner. Last notes are pretty music was playing but I turn it up a little because I love Thai music of all genres. Their liquor license is pending right now, not an issue for our group. Best of luck for a prosperous future Bangkok Thai!

For us this is one of the best small Thai spots in the city - always great service and efficient and very reasonably priced. - The food is absolutely great and flavorful. Excellent sized portions , nice and spicy if you want it that way. Overall it's what I would consider a hidden gem here in NOLA. A must try.

This is probably the most dive like Thai place in the NOLA area. Before Katrina I used to frequent this place several times a week for their lunch buffet. I don't believe they ever brought the buffet back after Katrina as I haven't seen it since. It was never the best buffet and the food I've ordered at dinner is also not the best example of Thai food I ever had but it is always tasty and filling. This usually isn't my first choice for Thai but if I'm in Cooter Browns and want some Thai this is the place to go. Recently this restaurant had a change in ownership and the food has changed. From my first visit under the new ownership the prices have definitely gone up and the food doesn't seem as good as it used to be.My video of Bangkok Thai before the recent ownership change is here:https://youtu.be/KfeO_61-HU4

Recommend? Not really.I got the crispy tofu and veggie pad cashew with wide noodles. None of their curries are vegan. The roti is served with red curry. Therefore it is not vegan.The crispy tofu had a really good crunch to it.I added wide noodles to the veggie pad cashew thinking they would cook the noodles with the pad cashew, but it was served on the side. It was totally not their fault I was being complicated. I didn't personally like the flavor, it was bit light. The dish was loaded with cashews though unlike some places I've had it at.

I ordered medium beef pad Thai to go.... It has tofu in it! Does everything come with tofu in it or did they just screw up my order? The noodles were mushy. Overall, it was the worst Thai food I've ever eaten. Sorry guys but it was.

The roti with coconut curry sauce is awesome! The portion size for dishes is enough for leftovers, but the rice was undercooked and while I liked the mango cashew scallops and shrimp, I would've liked a finer chop on all the fruit and nuts so that each bite was more cohesive. Good spot for local delivery or when you need a quick bite on the go. The "fish dishes" are adorable, by the way.

We ordered the Pad Thai, Thai Fried Rice, and Green Curry. Everything was really good- much better than Sukhothai. The woman who served us was very friendly and kind, she also grows some of the ingredients used in the food in her own garden- and you can tell how fresh the chilis are. We were there at around 8:30pm on a Friday night and our food came out fast. This place is right across the street from La Madeleine, next to Cooter Brown's. Highly recommend, looking forward to coming again

Got takeout from here because pad Thai is my superstitious pre-test meal, and we were not disappointed. The food was packaged well and delivered warm by Door Dash.We got an order of shrimp and pork dumplings (nice, soft, moist and flavorful), fresh rolls (simple, not overly flavorful-came with 2 yummy sauces to dip though), beef salad (my least favorite-barely any salad, beef strips were a little dry), fried rice (awesome, tasty, good portion), pad Thai (also delicious, complex flavored and not overly sweet, good portion), and the red curry (possibly our favorite-rich and complex, slightly creamy, not overly spicy).We would definitely order again!

Did this place change ownership? Nothing tastes the same. The peanut sauce and chili sauce are completely different - overly sweet, goopy and shiny. The pad Thai has little flavor. The house fried rice lacks the distinctive spices and fragrance it had for many years. So disappointing.

My bf said it was the worst pad thai he ever had in his life, and he NEVER complains about food. This man will eat almost ANYTHING and be happy with it. So, for him to say food was bad, it has to be really bad! He described it as "mushy and flavorless " He said he bought paid Thai sauce from the store once in an attempt to make it home, and this pad Thai taste just like the store bought sauce he purchased. I order the seafood Tom yum soup. I didn't like it, but it wasn't the worst I ever had. I found the soup to be too sweet and there was not a mix of seafood. The soup came with one mussel and lots of calamari. No shrimp, no other seafood. I will never eat here again.
