Bangkok Cafe

Thai Food Fan

by attasith at Citysearch

Went to eat there last night. Cannot believe how great the food and service was. I was a little afraid when reading earlier comments in year 2002. But when I took my family there, we found FOODs were so great!

They are under the new ownership and very (I mean very very serious) about the service :-) I was treated like a price of Albuquerque!

No kidding - you better go there and try Rad Nah Noodle (Pad Thai Shrimp is great, but I prefer Rad Nah). Pork Chop, which my kids love, is another new recipe brought to us by the new owner who also own Sushi King and Queen of Sushi.

We will go back there again this coming weekend.

• Pros: Clean Food!, Good Taste!, Best Service!

Excellent - no doubt

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

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 at Citysearch

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

Best in ABQ

by rtafoya at Citysearch

Albuquerque doesn't have too many Thai restaurants, but this is hands down, one of the best. They have many vegetarian choices and a great pad thai. Be sure to request mild, unless you can handle some heat. The lab is also quite good (for those of you that enjoy a cold pork salad.) They also have a delicious Tom Yum Pak (chicken and veggie soup) it's enough for four to share.

Great food and generous helpings, what more can I say.

They are a small facility, so be prepared to wait a bit on the weekends. Non-smoking facility.
