Excellent - no doubt

by flyppg

I've enjoyed Bangkok Cafe for a few years now. Not impressed at all with Orchid, I do like Thai House (on Buena Vista). And Thai Tip has great food, but not much for atmosphere.

I was disappointed when Bangkok Cafe closed for remodeling. But I just went again today. The prices were just a little bit higher than I remember. But I was not at all disappointed once the food showed up.

A friend and I ordered the Nam Sod salad (med heat) and Spicy Fried Rice w/pork.

We both commented that it's hard to understand how people could choose to go to expensive fancy restaurants when there are spectacular flavors like these to be had for still less than $10 per person. It just doesn't make sense.

Every bite was a new joy. Not even finished with one mouthful and already looking forward to the next bite.

The Thom Kha and Pad Thai are also super winners.

Thai food rocks. And Bangkok Cafe rocks Thai food!

• Pros: Food is delicious - new interior is nice
• Cons: A little more expensive than it was before the remodel

you'd do better to keep driving

by DrexlerMcStyles

Well, we would drive by this place on the way to other thai restaurants and kept saying "we should give that place a shot". So we did. I wish that we hadnt. The first thing I see on the sign board upon entering this place is "All white meat chicken $3.00 extra" A bad sign considering Ive never been served anything but white meat chicken in curries at any thai restaurant in the world. We ordered, my wife got her thai iced tea, it tasted like it was from a mix; awful. I got my greasy curry with its mangy little pieces of dark chicken. Gross. My wife vegetable dish was alright. This was the worst Thai food Ive had in Albuquerque and was slightly more expensive than other superior Thai spots. If you want real, tasty Thai, then try Thai Tip

• Pros: I didnt have to run to the bathroom
• Cons: eating there

horrible service and food

by skylady

I had a horrible experience at the Bangkok Cafe. The restuarant is under new ownership and you can definately tell. The service was slow and the server was rude, the food was greasy with small portions. I had my two children (one is 2 yrs old) myself , husband and sister and the waitress charged me the 18% gratuity.. Asked to speak to the owner or a manager, my request was ignored.. I will never return..........And I will tell everyone I know about my experience.....

• Pros: none
• Cons: everything
