Overall the food was o.k. We were the only people in the restaurant- not a good sign. The Roti (bread) a bit too greasy. The egg rolls seemed like they were reheated & had things in them I couldn’t identify. The Basil Fried rice was good. If you order a drink without ice you’re charged more.

We were in the area and happened to see the sign and give them a try. I’m so glad we did!! Service was great and food was even better. We got the fresh bread, pad thai, and the Bangkok garlic pepper with crispy duck. Everything was perfect! So fresh and seasoned just right!

Read the recent reviews. I should have, but I didn't think it was necessary because I've been going here for 15 years, just not recently. This place used to be amazing. I'm guessing it's under new ownership. We ordered two entrees of pad kee mao, one of which was tofu and veggies, with extra tofu. They said it would be ready in 10 minutes and it was. We took the food home and immediately noticed there was no tofu and just veggies in the one. I took a photo of the dish and the receipt, called the restaurant and spoke with the guy at the front who took the order and explained the issue. I opted to just take back the wrong order and get it replaced with the correct one. When I arrived, 20 minutes later, no one had even started my order. The owner is apparently also the cook and needed to see what I brought in as well as the receipt before she attempted to cook it correctly. I don't understand her point. She remade the same exact same dish and put in less than 3 pieces of tofu. There were no orders cooking and very few people in the restaurant each time. I took it home to my cold half of the order, now about an hour old because she refused to remake the food when I called. The food was bland and didn't even taste like Thai. The crispy rolls were soggy. It's a shame because this was once a really good restaurant.

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.

Born & raised in New Orleans I’ve been wanting to come here for years; I am Thai and I was not impressed with the authenticity of the food. The ambience & staff Yes but the food was not made with all of the ingredients nor with the love that Thai food deserves. What I ordered could’ve easily passed for an Americanized Chinese dish. On street parking.

Excellent food excellent service. I would recommend this place to anyone. I will definitely be back.

The food here it is absolutely delicious!, I had the best spring rolls ever here in NOLA in this place! They have plenty vegetarian/vegan options, the curry is delicious, the fried rice is abundant and amazing!.... The lady that took care of us that day was super nice and helpful. I'm definitely going back someday!

I ordered the Pad Thai and Kee Mao on Ubereats, both with veggie and tofu. I've eaten these dishes many times before and know the expected flavors. The Pad Thai tastes like tomato and lime and looks like spaghetti it's so red. This is not Pad Thai. The Kee Mao had the slightest bit of flavoring but was quite boring and not enough sauce. Neither dish had any degree of spiciness. I had less than 10 miniature cubes of squishy tofu. I'm disappointed in my purchase and would not recommend it to anyone looking for authentic or quality Thai food.

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.

Beth B.

Yelp
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.

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

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.

Ken W.

Yelp
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.

Yelp
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!

Food is amazing I got a Red Curry. loved it... So good. I'd come back and recommend for sure.

Came back to Bangkok Thai after many years and I ordered the standard Tom Yum soup and Pad Thai. The soup was good but not great, I can say the same about that Pad Thai. Summer special soft shell crab for $8 turned out to be a small buster crab and not an actual full size soft shell crab was a bit of a disappointment. The calamari appetizer was good but not great as well.

I think this place serves more than decent Thai food. Tom Kha was good enough, though I think it could be a little more sour. I was expecting more from the volcano chicken-- it should have been crispier. However, the duck curry hit the right flavors and the duck was cooked very well. Despite being picky when it comes to Thai food, I enjoyed the dinner overall. To have Asian food in this part of town is a major plus as well (I seem to seek out Asian food in New Orleans.) The ambience is good, dimly lit, and peaceful. Yes, take your date here. The service is great. The food came out pretty fast compared to other places. Their menu is what would keep me coming back-- it seems to be pretty authentic and has a variety, rather than your typical pad thai and curry. I was surely eyeing down the pompano for next time. The only qualm is that it is pricy. The major dishes are around $15 each.

I went there at the beginning of the week for an early dinner. To my surprise, it wasn't busy at all. Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly. I had the Panang Curry with chicken. It was a nice sized portion. It consisted of tons of vegetables and chicken. The sauce was delicious. It was served with a side of rice. The menu had lots of other rice and noodle dishes. I can't wait to go back and try them. I wasn't too happy with the parking situation. There was no place to park in the neighborhood!! I basically had to park on the rail road track. I had to jump a curb. Thank God my car was ok. I suggest carpooling or ubering.

Haley H.

Yelp
Very, very delicious & authentic Thai food at good prices. The "large" portion sizes of the soups don't fill up the container as much as I'd like, but the flavor makes up for it! Slowly eating my way through their menu via take out. FYI Right next to Cooter Brown's so can be a bit tight to find parking.

Bangkok Thai is my favorite Thai restaurant anywhere, hands down! (Including New Orleans and Austin, for sure. It even beats some of the meals we had in Thailand, on our honeymoon.) I lived uptown for many years and now, whenever I visit from Austin, this is always on the list. I just had the awesome spicy eggplant dish. Yum!!! Piles of fresh veggies, tender eggplant in a delectable sauce. Last time I was here, I ordered the pumpkin curry - also amazing! I highly recommend this lovely, little restaurant. You really can't go wrong! Also, very vegetarian friendly!

Always a good spot for some delicious curry and pad Thai. Recently dishes taste a little different, but still delicious. The restaurant is small and cute, a perfect little date spot.

The food is good, and service is decent. Prices are a bit high. My husband loves the special chicken with the peanut sauce. I like the pad Thai, which I get with extra egg instead of meat or tofu. I would recommend it if you are in the area!

Great food and great service. We dined in tonight and enjoyed talking with our lovely waiter. The homemade chili oil and dry sauce were amazing and very spicy. Glad this place is open again back from its location near the Rock n' Bowl! We will be back. Thank you!

This place is always so tasty. This time we ordered the chicken satay, papaya salad, duck, and coconut soup. All of it was well-seasoned and in large portions. In the past I've gotten the pad Thai and various currys they offer and they were also very delicious. Not to mention the prices are unmatched. Come in for lunch, they have a really good deals ! oh yea and we got the mango sticky rice, so so good !! On top of that, the service was quick and friendly.

I love the new lunch special here. It's $10.95 for your choice of pad Thai, basil, pad pak, yellow or green curry along with a small portion of one of the following appetizers: spring roll, fish cake, crispy tofu, satay chicken, or goong naree. I got beef pad Thai with goong naree and it was pretty good. Not the best pad Thai I've ever had but not bad. The goong naree was only okay. I'd probably pick something else next time. I also ordered chicken tom yum soup. The soup had really good flavor but way too many onions for my liking. The restaurant was very quiet and is very cute. Parking is a little tough. Service was good and everything came out quickly.

Hole in the wall at the end of Carrollton. Great food and the staff is nice. Im a big fan of Thai food and my friends took to me to this little place they said was great. My friend ordered the papaya salad for us. Went adventurous and got it spicy. Pretty spicy but also very good. We all got the pad see ew. I got mine with veggies. Satisfying and we all left full. Would like to come back again

Got a real big craving for some Thai food. Found this place up my street and decided to go for it. It's a very small place and at this hour (8:30pm) it was pretty empty. From first sight, I had a little doubt going into here. Place is very clean and very dim lighting. I ordered to go on my usual faves: papaya salad, pad see ew with Chicken and mango with sticky rice. The waiter / cashier is very nice and has a slight language barrier but that's not a big deal. Makes it more authentic to Thai food if the owners and workers are from the orient. The papaya salad: can't beat this! This is made EXACTLY like how I had it in Thailand. The sweetness from the fish sauce, the sourness of the papaya, the freshness of the tomatoes and crunch from the carrots and papaya. Mmmmmmm! Best appetizer and great to start off! I'd order this again and again! The chicken pad see ew: sweetness of the Thai dish is in there and the spice is great, it's just lacking the flavor profile. My least favorite of the three dishes. The mango with sticky rice: just like how I remembered it! Definitely a great end to my meal! Highly recommended if you haven't tried it before

One of my favourite Thai restaurants in Nola. Authentic, great food and excellent service!! Dine in now open! They have the best tomyum and I love their papaya salad!

I went here just the other day with my boyfriend for a quick dinner before we headed home and it was such a great experience. we ordered a papaya salad laos style, tom yum soup, drunken noodles, and i got red curry with roti on the side(my favorite from what we ordered, everything was really good!). the lady gave us our appetizers first and mistakenly thought we wanted to eat our appetizers and entrees separately. after some waiting we realized her intention and just told her that we'd like to eat them together! she was sweet about it and felt so bad for having us wait, but it was not a problem at all. she apologized so many times (which wasn't even needed because the food was so delicious), she even offered us a free dessert! before we left, she noticed that i loved the roti and curry and had some leftover curry left so she packed me some extra roti to finish it with. it was very thoughtful and kind of her. fun fact: while we were eating, another customer was on his way out and told us about how much he loved the owners and was so happy to see us eating there because he loves this place so much! overall, my first time eating here was the best experience i could ask for, will be coming back for more!!!

most delicious authentic Thai food. was undecided about ordering anything with curry but this place blew it out the park with 4 different types of curry sauce that were delicious. will definitely be a return customer. Also had the Thai wings for appetizers were delicious. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Jacob S.

Yelp
I love Thai food and frequently eat thai food and decided to ventured to a new place and I have to say it wasn't good. I'm hoping its just the chef that was cooking that night but my pad thai tasted too sweet and the green curry was just not great. I would recommend other Thai restaurants before dinning here.

Jinyoung P.

Yelp
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.

Ryan M.

Yelp
Delicious food. I love their green and yellow curry, Pad Thai, drunken noodles, spring rolls...honestly, everything is delicious. I always get carry-out and never have a single problem. Great and courteous service in addition to amazing food makes for an all around pleasant experience.

Allison G.

Yelp
Ordered through Door Dash: the pad thai is flavorless and contains barely any tofu or egg, despite requesting extra egg (and assuming that tofu would be featured prominently in a veggie dish). The tom khan soup is too sweet and the coconut overpowers the lemongrass. I'm feeling played by the restaurant and disappointed with my order.

Anna R.

Yelp
Awesome service, delicious food. Yes! We started with Pork spring rolls and both had Pad thai, one house special and one regular but both were chicken. Everything was so Sooo delicious!!! A very large serving we left with two boxes.

My fiancé and I wanted to find a local Thai place that was reasonably priced and not too far from our place. We usually go to SukhoThai but they are pricey although good. We looked on my favorite app Yelp and looked at the photos and prices and decided to give them a try! We drove 6 miles to pick up our order to go. I was pleasantly surprised at the taste and amount of food you get for the prices! They do have better prices and you get your money's worth. The only thing that was wrong that was TOTALLY MY FAULT, was the spice level. I underestimate spice levels pretty often and I did once again with my Veggie PadThai that I ordered. I got a level 3 when I should've gotten a level 1...lol they have strong spice so if you just want a LITTLE KICK, I suggest getting a 1 or a 2. A 3 is going to make your eyes water and nose run like it did to me... lol My fiancé and I had the Veggie Spring Rolls and both were impressed. He got the Beef PadThai and he loved it... we will be back!

Yelp
VERY disappointing. Not sure what all the rave reviews are about! I ordered the dumpling appetizer ($10 for 5 dumplings on UberEats!) and they were dry, way too firm, and accompanied by simple salty soy sauce for dipping. Next up was the red curry entree. It was lackluster due to its lack of veggies and the portion size was small. (For reference, I'm a 112 lb woman and was still hungry after eating the entire appetizer and entree). This meal toootally did not live up to the online-hype and should have costed half of what it did. I feel had. Also.. cheap foam takeout containers:/ and plastic bag :( which is environmentally-irresponsible and out of date.

Yelp
We had dinner here for the first time the other night. It was pretty good and we'll go back again soon I am sure. The only other Thai I have had in the city is at the Chill Out Cafe.I like the location and decor of Chill Out Cafe better, but I think I prefer the food at this place because they have a more expanded menu with some options not available at the other place. We had the Chicken Satay and it was delicious.Tender, juicy and full of flavor. I had Tofu and steamed veggies with Peanut Sauce and a side of sticky rice (I LOVE sticky rice!) and my partner had Thai Fried rice. We both enjoyed our food and have no complaints at all. All in all, it is very standard Thai food. It's not over the top most amazing Thai I have ever had, but it is exactly as Thai should be.Fresh veggies, good service and tasty food.

Oh look it's one of sadly brief early reviews...time for an update. Somehow this former go to spot had fallen off my radar, but it's still a solid choice. I've eaten in this location (same name different owners over the years) for over a decade. It's always a good spot for a variety of dishes that will please most palates. I had a their mango special last night and it was DELICIOUS. Big chunks of really ripe delicious mango with shrimp, scallops, pineapple and onions. YUMMM. My friends had the Pad Ginger with shrimp and the tofu red curry. All the dishes were super tasty and the veggies really fresh. Love the ginger in the pad ginger. The restaurant was not too crowded on a Thursday night at dinner time but there were a steady stream of people stopping in for takeout. The restaurant is small but well laid out and the staff is attentive without being pushy. I definitely need to place this spot back into regular rotation.

(FYI- two part review!) This restaurant was my first, true introduction and love-affair with Thai food... probably 18 years ago. At the time Asian cuisine was freshly introduced to America, and certainly to my Finnish tastebuds, and to say I was in complete awe would be an understatement. The gorgeous lady who I believe was the founder, always wore a beautiful, traditional Thai outfit, and would remember details about our, and would refer to conversations you had months, even years past; she would remember a face and your preferences like magic. By calling it magic, I'm simply trying to hi-light her extraordinary memory and excellence in customer service. The place was a SOLID 5 stars all day for all reasons. I believe the last time I saw her she gently admonished me and said; "you not been here for long time! Why you been away??" (Mind you... I think I hadn't been there for 10+ years, but she remembered me. The honest to heavens above truth was that life took "a Holt" of me and I was whipped around country and county alike, yet it was a crucial time when Charlotte, NC; Birmingham, AL; Atlanta, GA and the like started to establish a solid "FIRST CROP" of restaurants serving Thai, Sushi, Even Vietnamese. At the time Asian cuisine was freshly introduced to America, and certainly to my Finnish tastebuds, and I was in complete awe. I was floored in the best possible way. So back the I suddenly I had the gift of travel and choices: Let it be Said, Heard and Understood that 15 years ago nobody could touch this restaurant for authenticity, taste or quality. To land the plane I have to explain my current 3 star review: I am and have always been a super nerd about food, and my career has blessed me with the ability to work local lately, to the tune of last 5 years. The world wide webs have given me the opportunity to learn about how to cook "exotic food" and I've developed a rekindled interest and ardent admiration for Thai cooking (Marion Grasby) And I've binge-watched all of the social media and I just wanted to go and experience the real deal: The proprietors are lovely and kind, however what shows up on your plate doesn't necessarily match what's specified on the menu for the dish you ordered. I had : Thai Beef salad; (it specified mint as the main herb; the beef was beautifully cooked and tasty, the dish overall veered from its description of mint as the main her by only having cilantro, herb wise. It had a "pepper" next to it on the menu description promising some spice but didn't have any: I asked for chili oil and dry chili and after adding them made everything perfect. Pad-Kee-mow (has the little chili thing printed next to it and was described as a spicy noodle dish sautéed with chilies,onion, green bell pepper and basil and your preferred protein) Arrived with No chilies, zero spice but with the surprise addition of carrots, which I do not hate, but further added to a overly sweet, almost treacle like sauce on the noodles. I sure miss the lady in the Thai dress is all I'm saying.

I want to start off by saying, this is my favorite place to get some Pad Thai! They never disappoint and their food is always consistent. I used to frequent this place when I was more in the area, but now it's kind of far and hard to get parking sometimes. You have the option of parking on the street (if any), parking in front of the restaurant (very slim chance), or parking in a gravel lot near the train tracks. This place has similar hours to other Thai restaurants with them closing during the "dead hour" between lunch and dinner. The place is pretty small, but you can probably fit a good amount of people inside. Every time I come, the place is usually empty and there's only one server on the floor. In my opinion, I believe they have the best pad thai in the city. Their pad thai has the perfect amount of sauce, adequate amount of noodles, beansprouts, protein, and spice. To top that off, they have fresh sate that has great flavor and spice! I want to try different things like their curries or seafood dishes, but I'm just too in love with their pad thai! Definitely get their Beef Pad Thai and add more sate if you can handle the heat. If you're having a sweet tooth, they have great sticky mango with rice to end the meal. Overall, a great hole-in-the-wall Thai restaurant to eat at in the Uptown area.

I 100% recommend this place if you are looking for authentic thai food. It was our first time here and I will definitely be coming back! Everything was on point from the appetizers to the entrees. Me and my husband got the Roti flatbread and the coconut soup to start. Out of all the rotis I had this one is the best to me. It is warm and crispy, and flakier than most rotis I had and their sauce to dip was delicious as well. I got the vegetable coconut soup and it was creamy and delish. For our main food we got the mango special and the massaman curry. I personally love mango in food so it was perfect for me. My husband got the curry and he loved it as well. His spice tolerance is super low so he appreciated the fact that you can choose the spice level. We also got the mango sticky rice and it was good as well. The mango was sweet and the rice was warm.

The staff is always friendly. My order has never been wrong. They have decent prices in my opinion. Love their Pad Thai and Curry.

There's not a lot of Thai in New Orleans, but Bangkok Thai is one of the few options available in the area. Very hard to find parking in this area (right off a busy street slanted and then the parking spot you have to back out into a busy street to leave). The interior is very nice, good ambiance from the traditional thai decorations. Not very busy. I got the seafood House pad thai (it's NOLA), which was relatively expensive. You get the typical noodles, bean sprouts, spice. The calimari was on point, tender, but the shrimp was just okay. It's semi-authentic but a typical Thai American place. I would definitely come back to try other dishes. Do get the Thai Ice tea (see photos)

So a combination of planning our trip to Thailand and being pseudo-lazy led us to our first foray into local Thai food by way of pick-up. Robert ordered the House Pad Thai and Fried Rice, and I got the Seafood Soup. They said the order would be ready in 15 minutes; a total win if you're hungry. Price-wise, I felt the Pad Thai and Fried Rice were really well portioned for the cost, good flavor and well cooked. As for my Seafood Soup, the broth was good but wasn't bringing the kind of heat I was expecting to enjoy. The seafood was okay, and I got sooo excited when I saw how big the mussels were in the broth, but then...kind of a letdown. Not sure if this is the sort of flavor of mussels in Thai cuisine, but it definitely wasn't my jam. I do think I will try Bangkok Thai again but will probably try other things on the menu. *Seafood Soup $12.95 Spicy sour soup with a combination of seafood in lemongrass, onion, cilantro, and mushroom.

My favorite Thai place in the city! Ambiance: First of all, parking is atrocious. Bangkok Thai is literally at the end of Carrolton Ave., next to the train tracks. The 4 lanes in front of the restaurant were filled so we were forced to park on the rocks of the railroad track. The restaurant itself, however, is gorgeous inside, decorated with Thai statues, paintings, and decor. The walls have a lovely shade of orange red on the walls and the tables and chairs are sturdy wood. There is also a little simple bar area closer to the inside as well. Food: We ordered cheese wontons for our appetizer and Pad Thai and Roasted Duck Curry for our entrees. The cheese wontons were nice and crispy and the filling was not too tart and cheesy. The sauce was a nice lighter balance of flavor to the more fatty wonton. I would not order again but definitely a more tastier and elevated cheese wonton than most restaurants. The Pad Thai here is my absolute favorite in the whole city. From the first time I have had it, it has made me fallen in love with it. It has a perfect mixture of not too sour or sweet and perfectly sauced. My favorite addition is their homemade chili paste that I add to the dish. The color this time around was not very pleasing; it is a little too orange rather than brown which I am used to. However, the taste has not changed and I still love it. The Roasted Duck Curry was pretty good. We got cubed duck so it was nice and chewy, reminded me of a chicken/liver mix texture. The sauce was nice and creamy and delicious with pineapple and bell pepper slices. Service: Our waitress was super nice. She constantly checked up on us and cleared away our dishes. She made sure our waters were never empty and had quick and efficient service. Final Thoughts: Despite my first visit years ago when Bangkok Thai was located next to a car shop and inside the sketchiest building imaginable, it had the best tasting Pad Thai I ever had. To this day, it is still my favorite Pad Thai, with the right balance of sweetness and saltiness. Not convenient parking and maybe the other dishes are not as delicious. But yes, every Thai restaurant I go, I try the Pad Thai and this Pad Thai sang to me its best. Love and highly recommended!

I really enjoyed this hidden gem! I ordered fried rice and their Tom Kha soup, it had such a rich flavor and I can't wait to go back

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.

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 entree salads.

This is still my favorite Thai place in New Orleans. Great flavors, Vegetarian options, and, most entrees are big enough to split, or provide leftovers for the next morning! I love the noodles, the soups and the curries!
