I had the basil duck and it was too bad. I couldn’t even finish my plate. The duck was burnt and too salty. Even the spring rolls was too oily and didn’t taste good.

Came in first time last week. The décor was nice and you cant beat it’s location. Unfortunately the food wasn’t that great, edible at best. I’ve had much better pad thai in other places. This was on the soggy side and the ingredients weren’t «fresh». To me Thai food is about feeshness, texture and color. Again, it wasn’t BAD but I’ve had better.

I agree with the other reviews — there is a lack of Thai in NOLA and what’s out there not so great. But I do believe Bangkok Thai is the best. Better than Sukho Thai and that other place on Maple. I decided to do a Unilocal review to encourage others to try even if you ate there before and weren’t impressed. I think they either got new owners or a new chef because it is much much better than it was years ago. This place isn’t trying to be trendy, they just serve really good Thai food — what you hope for in an authentic Thai owned Restaurant. Try the Panang Curry. Yum! Perfect balance of red curry, Thai basil, fresh crunchy green beans and carrots and just the right amount of heat. My husband is the noodle lover and gets either the Pad Thai or Drunken Noodles depending on mood — we agree the Drunken better than the Pad Thai which could be seasoned more. All soups great as are fresh rolls. Nothing surprising on the menu, its just good Thai Food. I have one wish though — I don’t expect much in the way of wine from a place such as this — but if you are only carrying one white wine, it should definitely not be a Chardonnay. It pairs awful with Asian cuisine Pinot Grigio would be better, a dry Riesling would be best.

Pad Thai is awesome and the owners are the nicest. This restaurant is very underrated!

I always get the Praram Chicken and the Fresh Rolls because I love their peanut sauce.

By far the best Thai food in town. Had the spicy and sour soup and the red gravy. Everything was made from scratch. Fresh and delicious. Definitely coming back for more soon.

Terrible service. Went to bar to order after sitting and being ignored for 10 minutes. Waiter brought chicken Tom ga instead of shrimp. When they brought shrimp Tom ga it was full of white uncooked onions, baby corn, coconut milk, and that is all. 2nd beer was warm. Pad Thai noodles had shrimp and noodles only. Pad Thai was Ok but VERY small portion. Went there years ago and it was great. I will not return.

I’m not sure why there are so many positive reviews, but I will not be ordering food from Bangkok Thai again. We paid $ 33 for very small servings of vegetarian spring rolls, Pad Thai, and Pad Cashew Chicken. The spring rolls were greasy and flavorless. The Pad Thai was also flavorless, and in fact I don’t believe those noodles had ever seen a stir fry pan. The Pad Cashew was unlike any Pad Cashew ever had and believe me, that’s not a good thing. Hands down, across the board, Bangkok Thai serves bland, and waaay overpriced food. I would have been better off with picking up a couple packages of Ramen from the supermarket, because that’s about as much soul as Bangkok Thai puts into their food. I’m giving it one star because my cat enjoyed a few bites of the dry chicken. For excellent Thai food, in both quality and price, go to Thai Mint which is just up the street.

Nice Thai place in the Garden District of NOLA. Service was good, and had outdoor dining. Had the basil chicken rice which was pretty good(not my Thai north star by any means) but the service was good and the price was fair.

There’s definitely a lack of good Thai food in this city and I feel like I’ve come pretty close to finding something good. We went on a late weekday afternoon and it was surprisingly empty. Initially, not a good sign, but we figured it was later in the afternoon and lots of people had already had their lunch. Our waitress was sweet and helpful, but there was a slight language barrier. Click here for blog pictures: We ordered a Pad Thai with spice level 3. We tend to eat a little spicier and that was the perfect amount. We also ordered the green curry with spice level 3 also and it was even spicier since green curries tend to already be spicy. I’ve noticed that Thai restaurants in this area lack a selection of fresh, stir fry vegetables like Ong Choy or Bok Choy. Sometimes, I just want a big plate of veggies to go with my curry and pad thai, but there must be a lack of asian produce so I rarely see anything like that here. Instead, we ordered the Param vegetables, which were just a mix of broccoli, carrots, baby corn, and mushrooms topped with a peanut sauce. That was surprisingly pretty good. Overall, I’ve definitely had more wholesome and authentic Thai food in other states, but this seems to be the best in the city that I’ve tried so far. If you’re craving Thai food, Bangkok Thai will not disappoint. I got my Thai fix and was definitely satisfied!

Since moving in the area, this is my go-to Thai restaurant! They also recently renovated so that’s great also! First off, must tries here are the Fried Calamari, Papaya Salad(acquired taste and can be quite spicy so be careful!), Tom Yum soup(the best ever!!), Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, Masaman Curry, Basil Fried Rice(def one of my favorites!), and of course the Sticky Rice and Mango to finish off the meal. I love that their food is authentic Thai compared to the many American-influenced and fusion restaurants Uptown. My boyfriend and I have gone here many times and the food is always consistent and service is pretty quick. They have definitely gotten busier since they renovated so kudos to them! I’m glad they’re getting more business, because they deserve it! We’re loyal customers and will without a doubt keep coming back for more.

As frequenters of this place, I can recommend the green curry and the spicy eggplant. Both are so good. One tip– they do specials better than they do the typical Thai dishes, so opt out of pad Thai and opt into the items under their«specials.» Prices are good and the restaurant has been recently renovated.

Omgeee! I love this place! The food is authentic and fresh! Their house pad Thai is just the correct amount of sweetness and kick! Love it! And our waitress Colleen was so sweet and cute! 5 stars!!!

My friend lives close by and we got take out. So I didn’t get to eat inside. However, I think I may have eaten inside once and remember it not being that busy. I like the food here! I got to eat portions of all the main major dishes. Beef drunken noodles, chicken and tofu pad Thai, and the shrimp basil fried rice. All three were delicious. Drunken noodles are how I base my Thai restaurants! I am a complete sucker for some drunken noodles. This dish was more particularly spicy than the other dishes. It’s a nice thick noodles, stir fried in whatever meat or shrimp you choose. It was a little tiny bit greasy but it was still good. The pad Thai was not greasy, but it wasn’t as spicy as I would have liked. The basil shrimp fried rice was probably the best fried rice I’ve had in a while. This fried rice wasn’t just tossed in soy sauce and bing bang done! It was properly seasoned in such a way that tasted flavorful without being overpowered with saltiness! I loved it. The mango and sticky rice was ordered for dessert and it was different than typical, but still delicious. It was heavily coated in a sweet sauce. I wish it had less sauce because the sticky rice turn into wet globby rice.

Aw, I like Bangkok Thai. It’s close to work and my friend who spent some time in Thailand says that this is the most authentic place in the city. I lived in Cambodia for 6 years and I still couldn’t really tell you what is authentic Thai food. I could tell you if it was completely off, but like, I like Sukho okay, and I like this place. I like the basil stir fry here. The laab/laap/larb(however you spell it) is pretty good. And I get the green curry sometimes too. I used to love pumpkin curry at my Thai place back in Portland. I think it’s time I give Bangkok Thai’s pumpkin curry a try. The lunch portions are indeed small, but you can get the combo, which comes with your choice of spring rolls, goong naree, or something else. My memory is failing me. They did just remodel recently as well.

Nice atmosphere and décor, the staff are exceptionally eager to please which is nice. The spring rolls were good. We had the Tom Kah soup which we asked if it was sweetened and we’re told no. When it arrived it was so sweet we could have had it for dessert. Being sensitive to sugar we had to return it but they suggested options that were unsweetened. Which was very helpful. I look forward to trying other menu items in the future.

Small lunch portion but pad thai, basil chicken and glass noodle salad are good. Prices a bit high. Parking can be difficult at times but it is worth the hassle.

Food was good. Some things way better than others. We got the appetizer sampler and some of the items on there could totally be eliminated. Like the fried tofu? Chicken satay was delicious with the peanut sauce and the spring rolls and the fried something with shrimp. We got the fried wide noddles with chicken to share thinking it was going to be a lot of food, but it wasn’t. At all. Just enough for one, and maybe that person could still be hungry after. It tasted delicious though. The service was sub par. We felt rushed which is disappointing plus strong language barrier. I’m not going to completely eliminate this place from the books. Maybe next time, I’ll just get take-out.

A pretty decent meal was had here; we had the place to ourselves, so our service was outstanding! The menu is pretty standard, complete with notations for the level of spiciness of the dish. There are nightly specials with lean toward seafood. My dining companion hadn’t eaten Thai since October and was very satisfied. My next visit, I’ll dig into one of the entrée salads.

Ok, I know the scenery is blah but this by far the best damned beef and tofu pad thai I’ve had in the city! It’s frequented mainly by Tulane and Loyola students and I don’t really care, I just want my pad thai! The thai iced tea is yummy too! Now keep in mind, I’m big about customer service. One time I hurt my hand and was in pain. I ran into here and asked if I could have some ice in a bag and guess what, they gave it to me! Now, I know I’m friendly and such but I was really grateful for their kindness! If you look at my previous reviews you will see that I’m obsessive and only order beef and tofu pad thai at thai restaurants because my favorite panang curry is in Chicago and I am forever spoiled. *sigh* When I lived in the Riverbend this place was always on my list!
