BKK Thai & Sushi by Cilantro

I went to BKK Sushi with my daughter for my birthday lunch, and it was truly a beautiful experience. She casually mentioned it was my birthday just once and to my surprise, the staff came out at the end singing “Happy Birthday” with the sweetest “cake” made out of orange slices, so thoughtful, especially since I have celiac disease and eat strictly gluten-free. The quality of the sushi was absolutely top-notch, so fresh and flavorful! The service was outstanding and even the owner or manager came by to personally greet us and join in the birthday song. Their kindness, attention to detail, and warm hospitality really made my day. 🥰 Highly recommend!

The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared! What made the experience even better was the amazing customer service from Fanny. She was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Highly recommend this place for both the incredible food and the outstanding service. Been here twice and I’ll definitely be coming back!

Delicious food and outstanding service! We came here for lunch and were blown away by the flavors—everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and perfectly portioned. The lunch menu offers a great variety, including impressive vegan and gluten-free options. A fantastic spot we’ll definitely be coming back to!

Love every dish!! The food was fantastic with authentic flavors and beautifully presented. ❤️Great service from Tik ! and Cartoon ! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was amazing. Highly recommended. ❤️I tried❤️ BKK Taco , Isaan Sausage , Moo Yang ,Yum Nam Khao Tod , BKK salt pepper duck , Salt and pepper , Crispy pork belly , Som Tam tray, Scallop parmesan Kamikaze salad ,Fantasy roll, Sunrise Roll.

Super cute interior, they have a very nice upstairs bar if you want to enjoy being outside, they were very accommodating for me being a party of one, with a puppy in a travel crate. The food was so good, had the Thai tofu wrapped dumplings along with , the crispy rice with tuna , my entree was the garlic sauce and I was accommodated to mix chicken with steamed tofu 🤤 was so good ! And the lychee martini was perfect, not too sweet ! I finished off with the mango sticky rice , it was in peek season , sweet tender and warm, perfectly sticky rice with warm sweet coconut and sesame seeds. The biggest compliment to my experience however, was my server Jane, from the very beginning, she was on point, so friendly , professional, she wrapped my whole experience together perfectly, please do visit here because everything was wonderful 💜 the prices were very fair too!

Amazing! I will definitely be coming back and with friends / family. From the atmosphere to the service to the food. Kitchen and sushi bar extremely clean, sushi is delicious and delicious on par with good pricing. They have a great bar of both spirits, sake, beer and wine selection. There is also a rooftop bar where you can enjoy a meal anytime or a romantic vibe at night. The service was fast and no errors. I will be coming here again and again after this visit!

The Lobster Pad Thai was exquisite and the Mango Margarita was exceptional. I enjoyed my experience immensely. Very nice professional and clean. I recommend for good thai food and spirits.

Really cool place to hang out and enjoy Thai food and sushi cool music, romantic fantastic second story views. This is the perfect place to hang out with your friends and enjoy Sushi and watch the game is also romantic place to come and hang out get away from the kids. The food was impressive. The service was fantastic. They’re very friendly here. Very outgoing. The lobster was insanely good but dessert was fantastic. I have absolutely no complaints. This place was great. We definitely will start coming here again. This is only been open around five months, but I could see it’s going to get really popular really fast.

I really loved the chill rooftop vibes. We had a good breeze so it didn't feel too suffocating with this Florida heat. Food was great especially the salmon belly roll. So good! Loved the happy hour menu! I was able to get my lychee martini off the menu. The service was quick and bartender was very friendly. I might end up being a regular customer haha

What a cool place. Booth was comfortable and clean. Decor was nice. Nice drink menu and I had the Rockstar, for obvi reason, it was fn delicious. Try it out. Food was presented well and tasted even better. Great menu and great job preparing it all. Service was top notch. They were all very attentive of us.

I've ordered takeout from BKK a few times but I finally dined in for the first time. The space is large and nicely decorated. My boyfriend and I ended up choosing the rooftop. We were a little nervous about the heat but the large fans made it so perfect for an al fresco dining experience. The service was fantastic and very attentive. We both got Thai iced teas which were the perfect amount of sweet. For apps we got the shrimp shumai (steamed) which were good. Then we had the shrimp pad Thai & pad see ew with chicken. The pad Thai was just a litttleee too salty for my preference. Their pad see ew is my favorite dish and what I usually order. Overall, a great experience.

I came here for dinner with co-workers here while on a business trip, and it was a fantastic experience. We got seated right away, the atmosphere was lively, but not too loud, and family friendly. There was bar seating, and the group we came with felt comfortable. The wait staff recommended the Hamachi roll, and we are so glad we did. It was the best thing we ate all night. I got my usual green curry, and it was also a great portion size and good flavor. I would certainly visit again if i'm in town.

I was thrilled to have Bkk Thai & Sushi move into this location as it has its own parking lot which is rarely full, lots of good interior space and rooftop dining. The bar is good but the drinks are had measured with a shot cup. No free pour, so the amount of booze is somewhat miserly. Bkk has a good menu with everything one would want in Thai, and for those no into. Thai or Japanese foods, they have a good choice. I had their lobster pad Thai with the lobster grilled, stir fried rice, no, egg and scallions which was the real Thai this and delicious. I also had something I have never seep on a menu before, deep fried mussels. They were done just like calamari but with mussels instead. I found them to be most enjoyable. My Partner had a burger which he thought was very good.

Official Review: I Came, I Larb'd, I Conquered If flavor had a passport, this place just stamped it with Lao spice, Thai heat, and a splash of yuzu sake sorcery I could drink by the gallon (okay, maybe five small, responsible bottles...but you get the point). The duck larb? Ducking amazing. The cashew shrimp? Slapped harder than Bangkok traffic. Every dish had layers like a spicy, umami-tangled dream that had me contemplating if I should just move in upstairs. Big shoutout to John, our server/bartender/hype man, who made the whole experience feel like dinner and a show. Friendly staff all around. And if you're into sunsets and rooftop vibes? The upstairs deck opens in the evening and it's giving main character energy. Possibly the best Thai food I've had in the area. Scratch that. Definitely!

BKK has been on my radar for a while, firstly because I'm a big sushi and Thai fan, and secondly because I'm a big Cilantro fan (located in Davie and same owners I think). After finally going, I can say that BKK should be on everyone's radar. Service was awesome, from the hostess to our server. Prices were great (I love a JB roll that is under $10), and the menu had a lot of options. We got the salmon carpaccio as an appetizer which was great. The salmon was like butter and the sauce it sat in was fresh and flavorful. We also got a JB roll and a hamatchi hotto roll, and a mixed assortment of sashimi and salmon roll, which came with miso soup. Everything was fantastic. The weather was pretty nice too, so I'm glad we got rooftop seating. Overall, a great spot for yummy food and commendable service.

Our server, Cartoon, was worth the visit.... The food, the atmosphere, the genuine welcome from staff was all wonderful. Having traveled in Thailand, I do eat more than the ubiquitous Pas Thai, nevertheless, I ordered with fried tofu and chicken. It was perfection. They also had my Pik nam pla... sure sign of authentic Thai! My husband had the ribs, which he love.... Medium heat, a touch too hot for him. I had spicy ... our friend did not request medium and found his too mild. Pictures included from dinner last night. We will be back!

Delicious food and great service and huge variety in Fort Lauderdale near the airport. This place was formerly Ernie's, an institution here. BKK is owned by Cilantro which is a favorite in Davie. The menu is very similar. There is so much to choose from. We tried the whole fried fish which was really yummy. The tuna on crispy rice was so good. We also had drunken noodles. Our friends enjoyed drinks from the bar. My friend had the lychee martini and that looked so good. Fast service and local appeal

It was good nothing bad to say wasn't out of this world but was decent. Service was excellent. A little expensive for what you got. I don't think we'll be back. Just my opinion I have friends that love this place so I'd still say to try it

After seeing all the glowing Yelp reviews, I decided to give BKK Thai a shot and ordered delivery through DoorDash. I went with the Drunken Noodle with chicken, extra spicy--and let me tell you, they do not hold back on the heat. I love spicy food, but this was next-level intense! While the spice was a bit much for me this time (note to self: maybe go down a notch next time), the flavors were solid. It was a good intro to their menu, and I'm excited to check out more of what they have. If you're a spice lover, BKK definitely knows how to bring the fire.

I used to come to this location when it was Anthony's and sit upstairs for happy hour with friends every Tuesday night. For some reason Bkk, the new owner of this location, with no fault of theirs had an annoying, constant traffic problem outside that you could hear throughout the whole meal. We sat at the bar which was especially nice because of the size of the TV screens they put in to watch my favorite sports. I mean they were so huge and perfect for that bar, but could not shake the noise factor on Federal Highway. We ordered the Awesome Sushi roll with the seaweed wrap which was very good and the Steamed Vegetables with Chicken which was on the bland side. There are several Sushi Thai restaurants in Broward now and to stand out it has to be something special. I would probably come back to eat in the main dining room downstairs to try other dishes as their menu has a HUGE variety to choose from. The server was very friendly and the service was spot on. I wish our experience was better but will hope to update it with a better one next time.

Finally made it here for lunch with a girlfriend. She had been here and enjoyed it. I was glad she was more than willing to come again. We got here early, but they were nice enough to seat us and wait on us even before they officially opened. Having been to this building in years past when this was Ernies Conch, I was most curious to see the changes. The interior has been upgraded, completely remodeled and updated. It's attractively decorated. My friend had a Thai ice tea. They gave her extra sweetened condensed milk on the side to add to adjust the sweetness. The lunch section of their menu has both Thai and sushi (bento box) options. We both decided to try one of their Thai dishes. Each dish came with either soup or salad to start. She had the miso soup and I enjoyed the mixed greens salad with ginger dressing. She had their cashew nut dish with chicken. It had a slight kick, but looked wonderful. I had shrimp with mixed vegetables. Both choices came with white jasmine rice on the plate. Service was very good. Everyone was quite friendly. We were checked on several times and even thanked for coming. And yes, I'd like to return sooner than later to try more menu items.

Ok, so this place is really a 4 star. It's not that bad. So why did I give it a three-star, you ask? Every time I travel, I look on Yelp for the best restaurants. I'm looking for high ratings and a lot reviews, and Bkk Thai had both. The rating was 4.7 over hundreds of reviews. I had to try it! Compared to the hype, the meal was disappointing. I tried the shumai, which was "okay" and some fried appetizer which was blah. For the main course: kra pow off the chef recommendations part of the menu totally disappointed, and I didn't even eat it all. The pad thai was worse...it didn't match the photos online and was very ketchupy and basic. The food is tasty enough for an average night dining out, but nothing I would recommend if you are planning to treat yourself, as I was. Because of the opportunity cost to me of missing out on a great meal, I'm giving 3 star.

Oh wow! We love you his place. Jen, the manager, welcomed with a warm and friendly smile to us BKK the moment we entered the restaurant. She was genuinely happy to see us. These are the same owners that established Cilantros Restaurant in Hallandale and Davie. The interior of their newest establishment was very well accented with a modern fresh look. They have a full bar as well as a large sushi bar (with seating). BKK Sushi and Thai also features upstairs dining with large windows with a view of US 1. Our waitress, "Am" could not have been any nicer. She was so helpful with explaining to me my many vegan options. She was continually checking on us to make sure we were happy with everything. I do have to mention that one of the things that makes this restaurant so unique is that they have authentic Thai dishes. They even have many dishes with Holly Basil. We are so excited that the owners of this restaurant have done it again with another outstanding place to dine in South Florida. We can't wait to go back and try something else.

Came here for a date last night, and it was so nice! We dined on the first floor and everything was new and clean. The food came out quickly, hot and delicious. We had the spicy salmon roll, drunken noodles with beef and panang curry with chicken. To drink we had a Thai iced tea and a gin martini (cold and strong). We were checked in on regularly and felt that we were well taken care of service wise. Looking forward to coming back again.

Beautiful 'rooftop' area which felt laid back. Efficient service. I enjoyed my Pad Thai and appreciated they had a number of protein options, even uniquer ones like crispy pork, crab or lobster. I felt the dish flavorful and the medium spice request spicy enough. I also really enjoyed my scallop hand roll. All n all I would return and recommend.

Happy hour isn't so happy if you're also dining. We were within happy hour hours, and because we weren't at the bar, they did not honor happy hour. Nothing on their menu or bathroom flyer says anything about being limited to bar. Bummer.... The food was good and service was disappointing due to the happy hour not being honored.

Our favorite Thai restaurant in Davie has just opened this new location in Ft. Lauderdale. We went to try it today and it was wonderful. This new restaurant offers a large selection of traditional Thai and Sushi dishes, but the main attraction is their Authentic Thai menu. This is a selection of dishes prepared exactly the way you would get them in Thailand. As far as I know, this is the only restaurant in Broward that offers this type of cuisine. The selection of dishes is fairly large, so I will be coming back to try more authentic dishes, but today I had the duck noodle soup and it was delicious. The duck was crispy and the broth was full of flavor. Other dishes we tried from the regular Thai menu (Cashew Nut sauce with tofu) and Sushi menu (Volcano roll) were also excellent. Service was as good as what we are accustomed to at Cilantro, friendly and efficient. You are always welcome with a smile, specially by the co-owner and manager Tan. This restaurant is located in what used to be Dirty Ernie's, just south of 17th street causeway on Federal Highway. The place has been completely remodeled and it looks great. They have only been opened 1 week, but I'm sure they are going to attract a large clientele very quickly. If you are looking to experience something new, you should definitely give BKK a try. Cheers!

10/10...maybe 100/10. So so yummy. Great experience and service. I got the Panang curry w beef. Wow. Absolutely delicious. I even came home to finish the leftovers, and actually remembered to do so!!! Our service while at the restaurant was phenomenal. I wish i remembered the young man's name but he was friendly, helpful, and attentive. They were also really nice and engaged with our little one. I was nervous because it was Friday night and we were the only one with a toddler. I know some establishments are really picky about children (If you know, you know) but several staff engaged with our little one and it was just such a welcoming environment. This mama appreciated this level of inclusivity. Really cute vibes also for a date. It was a cute setting and they have an upstairs.

Have not dined in so I can't comment on the service and ambience. But, listen to me... Do you like drunken noodles? Like really drunken noodles? Are you a Thai enthusiast always trying to skim the line and dabble in "Thai hot"? Well, if that's you, get their drunken noodles. If you're brave... Order the "Thai hot". It will not disappoint! Finished my takeout with a full sweat, felt the heat until my stomach stopped digesting these noodles. You should expect nothing less from drunken noodles labeled "Thai hot". Obviously, I have already ordered this multiple times. And yes, I will be back.

Im always looking for a great thai restaurant. Sushi is very good with a nice presentation . Nice ambience down stairs for a date up stairs is good to watch a game

The food was excellent, the drinks were delicious, and the service was outstanding! Generous chunks of fish in both the sushi and the poké bowl, and the cocktails came with fresh, fruity garnishes that really elevated the experience. Tony and the rest of the staff were friendly and helpful throughout. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Fort Lauderdale!

Food, drinks, ambience amazing. Visiting from out of town, ordered sushi and Thai dishes and all were great. Two floors, top floor has multiple screens if you're looking to watch the game. Service was attentive, checked on our table even though was busy. Would definitely come again.

Yes, I would consider this a 5 star lunch in many ways. Let's start with the outside. Plenty of parking. Plus, it's free! The inside is beautiful and they have a roof top bar. My friend was so impressed with everything that she booked the roof top bar for an event she is hosting. The wait staff bent over backwards to accommodate every request that we had. Friend number #1 can get a little snotty, so I'm happy to report she didn't ruffle our server's feathers. Friend #2 was equally impressed and said she would love to come back. That's good because I want us to come back and celebrate my birthday lunch at the same table. Excellent food. Friends who know me know I never clean my plate. Not one of us had leftovers today. That's a mighty good sign.

John the bartender is fantastic. Stopped in for some sushi and was pleased with the friendly service and nonchalant entertainment. Started with a a seaweed salad. Went with the signature roll, the BKK. It was delicious and fresh with a nice little salad on the side. Will try out the upstairs next time I am in.

Lovely new Thai/sushi spot in Fort Lauderdale. This spot has a big rooftop bar and plenty of seating on both floors. The menu is expansive and has tons of sushi and traditional Thai plates. We ordered a few things to try and were not disappointed with anything. The grilled octopus and fried mussels to start left us wanting more. Then on a "chilly" night, some soup was exactly what we needed. The kao soi and boat noodles were rich and hearty. The service was quick and friendly. Will surely be back to try sushi next time.

Ordered pad Thai and cashew nut chicken. Food tasted decent. Ended up getting sick throughout the day (same with the person I ate with). Called to inform them & they responded that I needed a Dr note (I wasn't calling for a refund). Never going back here

Very friendly hosts and spectacular food! Everyone gteete you when you enter and talks to you nicely! The lychee cocktail was good and the drunken noodles were savory and unique

Amazing food. Amazing service. Everyone greets you with the warmest smile. The place is nice and they have a patio upstairs where you can enjoy happy hour and some Al fresco dining. Authentic Thai dishes and some delicious sushi rolls - you'll love this place. Can't wait to back and try our most dishes, but I really enjoyed the Hoy Jor and the Ka Prow

I love this place! I've visited serval times and each time I love them more and more. The sushi always hit the spot for me. The staff is extremely nice and tentative. The Torch Roll & Hamachi Hotto Roll are my favorites.

Opened a month ago. Friendly staff, great recommendations. Food was fresh and tasty. A large menu with authentic Thai dishes and sushi. Reasonably priced. They also have a great lunch menu for those who work in the area. And children menu.

In town for training, looking for a great lunch place and we found it. Our food was great and the service was incredible! We will go back

Fantastic first time experience. The food was spectacular. The service was even better. Made me and wife feel like we were Royalty! Lychee martinis were top drawer. Loved loved the Parmesan Scallops! How very cleverly simple delish. Tuna tacos had a shell like no other. Super light and and crispy. My wife had a yummy sushi roll . I had a traditional Thai dinner. No idea how to spell it. But it was delish! We are going back for sure.

I've been hearing a lot about this place especially since Andi's closed. We used to come to Andys , but Andi's was way more mediocre than this place was. We were very happy with our experience last night and our server. Mimi was really awesome and gave a lot of great recommendations. my favorite role was the last role and my husband's favorite role was the sea of love , we also enjoyed the fall roll and duck soup it was great .... We also loved the rooftop seating and when it got a little bit windy, they sang and it was so nice. we will definitely be coming back

LOVE IT!!! My husband and I went to try the new BKK Thai & Sushi restaurant in Ft Lauderdale for lunch today. We knew the food was going to be good because it's owned by the same owner of Cilantro in Davie. INTERIOR: nice and cozy and relaxing. Besides the normal table dining area , there is one main bar where many customers choose to sit there to drink and eat. There is another Sushi bar further inside the restaurant. There is also an opened-air, roof top bar/dining area on the second floor where I'm sure we will try one time when the weather gets cooler. FOOD: the Thai manager has really brought BKK to FLL. There are many traditional Thai dishes as well as Japanese on the menu. We didn't try any Japanese rolls but we tried the Uni shots. Our server, Ms Am, told us that they order only the top quality ingredients and I just had to try it although I was really there for their Thai food. The Uni shot comes with a piece of Uni, a raw quail egg, and green onions in ponzu sauce and drink it up in one go. The Uni was so sweet and creamy and blended so well with the raw egg. The aroma of the mix is still lingering in my mouth. Ms Am and the female manager were very attentive. They came around every now and then to make sure we were ok. Ms Am was so patient with all our questions about the menu and she explained and described so detailedly. I appreciate servers who know their food. We also had spicy grilled pork with roasted rice salad, scallop Parmesan, octopus Carpaccio, Pad Krapao, and crispy pork belly with rice. Sorry I forgot to take photos of some of our food but they were all delish!!! We will definitely go back and try other dishes and will take more photos next time. Easy 5-stars and thumbs up! Tips: we ordered the first dish at medium spice level and it was very spicy and we had to ask Ms Am to change the rest to mild spice. So unless you like the spicy hot challenge, I'll suggest to go mild and ask for hot sauce on the side.

Food was excellent! My boyfriend and I shared a bagel roll and fried calamari for an appetizer and tasted so fresh. My boyfriend got the green curry and it was absolutely delish. Sweet spicy mix. Definitely will be back!

Welcome to the neighborhood ! I was going to lunch with my co-worker and saw they opened a new place where dirty Ernie's and angus was ! I was quickly delighted to see that it was called cilantro which is my ultimate favorite hair restaurant in Davie . Just like Davie , their service is beyond friendly . Their food is delicious ! Had the chicken and cashew lunch special and my friend was so happy with her dish as well ! They have an incredible happy hour (with food) every day . The place looks gorgeous and of course they gave their roof top too ! I'm looking forward to a successful run with this wonderful and delicious restaurant I normally wait when a restaurant opens , but this was on point !!!

First visit to BKK was last evening. First I made a reservation with the nicest of ladies named Jan, thrilled to take my call and very inviting that I would be dining with my dear friends from out of town. We arrived on time and yes my table was ready. Extensive menu both for Sushi & Thai options. A terrific efficient waiter that was kind to review the more favorite options on the menu with us. After we went back & forth with the front & back of the menu.........we decided to stick with the sushi side and order a few selections. OMGoodness the sushi was so fresh, so beautiful and so delicious. It was a delightful dining experience for us. We enjoyed so much, we have committed to make a second visit to experience the Thai side of the menu. Put this restaurant on your MUST VISIT list. Easy to find, terrific free parking and the menu is priced right. I encourage you to make a reservation and enjoy.

Brand new restaurant. Go now before it gets too busy to find a table! Super delicious authentic Thai. And can't wait to go back and try the sushi/sashimi. Service was fantastic and friendly. Great for all diets, vegetarian, vegan whatever but I enjoyed the Thai Ribs. Fiance had the spicy chicken. We split the papaya salad (highly recommend). What a little treasure of a restaurant!!!

Just discovered this Thai restaurant. Been back three times. Great Pad Thai. The facility is clean and the staff is helpful.

The food is fresh and delicious. The staff is warm, hospitable, and efficient. BKK is a wonderful addition to Ft Lauderdale, and I highly recommend.

We're a lover of Thai food so looked forward to trying this place given all the high tier ratings. We started off with vegetable spring rolls which were standard fare - similar to what you find at every other thai restaurant that does not prepare them in house (other than throwing them in the fryer), fried bok choy which was good and a weak edamame in a sauce that was not well liked. Also had chopped chicken with basil - thai hot that was good. Overall - decent restaurant so if you're within 10 or so minutes and need a Thai fix this restaurant will suffice.

"It's an orgiastic feast for the senses" no doubt about it ! Excellent cuisine, relaxed ambiance and attentive service by Toni our waiter and the staff in general not to forget the bartender Great happy hour fairly priced. Tip: the roof terrace for happy hour is a must do. unfortunately I forgot to snap a picture of our succulent dishes.

Good food and service, everything on menu is a must, I took place on rooftops with my group . Very nice ambiance.

Last night, met 2 friends for happy hour and sat upstairs on the outside deck. It was perfect weather to be outside! Lahar was our barmaid, and she was so awesome!! My friends have been to BKK, but this was my first time. Because we all order so differently, Lahar was kind enough to make 3 checks. I usually go for the lychee martini, but wanted to try all new stuff, so Lahar made me a cucumber martini with vodka instead of gin. It was DE-LISH!! So good that one of my friends also ordered one. I started with the crab tartare. It's real crab jazzed up and served on a round of mashed avocado. O!M!G! I savored it for about 15 minutes. It was so good!! Had I been home, I would have licked the plate. Then, I had a Hamachi Hotto Roll - no jalapenos. It still had a mild heat, but very mild. The roll was enormous - twice the size of a normal one. I ate half and have the rest for lunch today. Everyone enjoyed what we ordered - some soups, some cooked Thai food. All in all - great food, great service, and of course, great company. I'm definitely returning so I can work my way down the menu. So many things sounded yummy!!

3 Sushi rolls. BKK, Hamachi hoto and a hamachi roll. Service was fast and great. Everyone is super welcoming as you walk into the door. You have the option for downstairs or upstairs. Downstairs is restaurant vibe with sushi bars. Upstairs is a unique vibe with indoor and outdoor seating with a nice sushi bar. Highly recommend for the sushi here.

Ordered to go. Order was perfect. Great on following spice level. Will definitely be a regular here.

This place is incredible, and I will absolutely be returning. My friends and I came to try the khao soi, and it was 10000/10. MAJOR flavor, great happy hour, and excellent service (shout out to our server Tik Tok, we love you!!) Run, don't walk.
