Bangkok Thai Sushi - Duck

I'm giving Bangkok Thai Sushi a 3 star rating. It might deserve more for its beautifully appointed and decorated interior - all the posted pics of the interior don't lie - it's gorgeous.But that doesn't justify imo the overpriced entree menu items (I'm sure they say it does lol). I was in the Southern Shores area right around lunchtime and thought I'd pick up carryout at the "other" Thai place close by that I love, Vilai Thai Kitchen (still my fave) - also open year round, it was closed that day! (Good excuse to call Valentine's Day a holiday and close, I guess? lol)So with Green Curry on my mind and having wanted to try out BTS at some point for comparison anyway, I called in a to-go order. In the process, I found out they don't have a Lunch Specials Menu - so lunch prices are basically dinner prices. OUCH. Still I went ahead and ordered. I ordered a single dish - Green Curry Chicken which came with a side of rice. Cost me $21.08 to be exact (tax included before tip). OUCH.If you check out their menu, pretty much every entree is about $20 each - more if you want beef or shrimp instead of tofu or chicken (the prices next to each menu item don't include protein - read the fine print for the upcharge to add your choice of protein). Frankly, I have a hard time paying $21 for one basic Thai entree for dinner much less for lunch. I hoped the dish would be amazingly spectacular...I got it home and was disappointed at the portion size - it was just barely enough for one.See all my pics - bottom line, the curry dish was good and ofc authentic, a little heavy-handed with the fish sauce for my liking and a slightly thinner curry sauce but still a decent dish. The chicken was tender and good quality.As I said, the restaurant interior itself is beautiful. I could totally imagine coming here for a really nice dinner or special occasion - a romantic place as well as good for groups (leave the kids at home though - more of an upscale adult dining place imo). BUT BEWARE: you won't be getting outta there without paying a hefty bill for your meal.Satisfied that I at least got to try this place once. Like I said, what I had (a classic Thai curry is a really good gauge - and I have Thai food wherever i go so I know my Thai) was good but sadly not 21-dollars-good - even at the beach.I'll stick with Vilai Thai Kitchen, not far South of here, if I'm craving Thai in the OBX. A much smaller place with way less ambiance but still quaint and charming inside but with wayyyy bigger portion sizes for lower prices (= better value for your money), and just as authentic AND DELICIOUS (the most important factor). Especially if you're doing carryout - you don't need to be paying BTS's higher prices. See for yourself - check them out and you be the judge.

TLDR - so good we came twice during our visit to OBX! Be sure to get the fried dumplings and and Crab Rangoon. Food - during our two visits we ordered the OBX roll, Hakaido Roll, Fried Pork Dumplings and Pad Se Ew. We found the OBX roll a bit flavorless and disappointing but everything else was so so good. My husband said the crab Rangoon was some of the best he's ever had! I thought they were good but a bit heavy on the cream cheese flavor and not enough crab. The first night I ordered the Pad Se Ew medium and it was spicier than I expected! The second night I ordered it mild and there was no spice. I wish there was an in between! The dumplings were standard but excellent! And the Hakaido roll might have turned me into a sushi fan - seriously, so good! The sauce adds some heat but it's not overly spicy. Vibe - the inside was quiet with plenty of AC. We sat on the patio the first night and it was so beautiful and peaceful. They have fans which add a nice breeze My ONLY complaint is that the bathroom didn't have a changing table. I had to change my 8 month old on a credenza that was in the women's room. Thankfully my baby isn't squirmy so it worked but it's really dangerous and inconvenient for parents.

We tried the chicken teriyaki bowl and a few sushi rolls, highly recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner. The prices are extremely high in my opinion, so that's the only reason why I would rate as 4 instead of 5. The inside was beautiful and the staff was very nice just from picking up one order and a quick lunch at the sushi bar another day.

This place absolutely blew me away. If you are into sushi, come here on your OBX vacation. Compared to all the sushi restaurants back home this place just knocked it out of the park. We got 5 rolls to share and finished all of it. I cannot quite remember the name, but there was one roll with seared scallops that was to die for. They also had a large variety of different Thai dishes that all looked really good. Our waiter was extremely pleasant and is worth noting. He was really a nice guy and made the experience all the better. The dining room is also really pretty with cool modern decor. They also offer outdoor seating as this is nestled right in the Scarborough Lane Shoppes this would also be a great place to sit. Defiantly would recommend we had a fantastic time.

Amazing sushi and great service. The only downside was it was a little loud but worth it for the food

We should've had Thai because the sushi was not good. We ordered Salmon Lover, Crazy Hungry, Philly and Volcano plus a chicken lomein; turned out to be $98.

We had been to this restaurant the previous year in 2022, with some friends who are vegan, and we really enjoyed the food. So we returned in 2023, to see if it was still as good. The food is still very good, and everything we had we enjoyed, but we discovered that when we were there in 2022, and 2 members of our party had ordered the Vegan Mock Duck, they actually were served the regular duck dish. Disappointing to figure that out. On our return visit in 2023, we ordered the regular duck dish, as well as the mock duck entree, and compared them. No question that in 2022, we were served the real duck, not mock duck. That aside - the food is very good. Hopefully, they have trained their kitchen & waitstaff on the difference between mock duck vs real duck.

Best Thai ever. Been many times. Always good. Love this place. Highly recommend. We're also vegan and lots of options

The eggplant appetizer is divine! We ended up ordering a second one bc it was so delicious. For entrees we had a curry and pad Thai - both really good! Great spot - will come back again!

Great food!!! We will definitely be back. General tsaos chicken and drunken noodles were perfect. Apps were great as well! Great kids menu, too, with a shrimp tempura option!Only recommendation is to disclose the fried rice is made with curry since that's not typical.
