“ Excellent green curry and drunken noodle. Accurate spice application. Very fresh tasting. Spring rolls and shrimp rolls not so great but ok. Overall very good. ”
“ I usually get carryout, but this time we dined in and it was great. The service was wonderful and the food is always delicious. I ordered the Vegetable Curry with added eggplant and 2X Hot and it was perfect. Atmosphere was clean and nice, one of the better ones as far as Thai restaurants go. I definitely recommend this place! ”
“ Delicious! - C1 Sesame Chicken (spice level 5 of 7): Oops. I thought it was 5 of 10. My bad. Wow, that was intense. I can do habanero hot and “HOT” according to them is about that. Be careful with their spice. I personally would probably do medium (3) next time to enjoy it better or medium (4) if I was feeling adventurous. That said, the chicken was amazing. The breading was soaked with the sweet sauce nicely and was delicious. It was a tad tangy, but I liked it in this case. The majority of the dish was chicken by far, but there was still enough veggies to add to the flavor some excellent dynamics. I weighed what I ate and it was almost exactly 1.25 lbs with a lot of sauce still left. It is a fairly sizable portion and a good price for that much at this quality. This was picked up and brought to us at work. The packaging did not do well for my dish and it made for a real mess in the bag with the runny sauce. There was still plenty left, though. It was still plenty hot (temperature-wise) when it arrived, though. That was NOT an issue at all. - Conclusion: I have not had Thai much, but I’ve had enough to know a little of what to expect. This was medium quality and a fair price. I’d recommend them if you like Thai. Work provided this lunch on a Thursday. ”
“ Wow. Checked out this place a bit spontaneously as it was nearby and there aren't very many Thai restaurants around, and we are so glad we did! We may be new regulars. The young woman working was a busy bee and on top of it. Very kind and helpful. The food far exceeded expectation. The interior could use some love from decor to a working soda fountain, and maybe some music? Either way we will be back, and highly recommend checking them out! ”
“ I love everything about Bangkok Taste. Normally, we've been served by the owner's daughter-in-law, and sometimes she has her kids with her. We think she and the whole family are such wonderful people. It's awesome to have family run authentic restaurants; they feel so much warmer and happier than "chains." This time, we were served by a newer employee, who was also very competent, friendly, and kind! Try the Bangkok Fried Rice (any meat you want, but the shrimp is amazing!) I like it at a spice level 1, just enough heat to let you know it's there but not blast you or build into a furnace! You can't get this dish at any other Thai restaurant in town. It has some subtle flavors, a little sweet, a little savory, a lot delicious! I spent 3 glorious weeks eating in Thailand. We even went to the Blue Elephant in Bangkok. This simple Bangkok Fried Rice dish sums up my favorite flavors on this trip. I often had a slightly simpler fried rice dish like this one for breakfast in Thailand. But there are lots of other yummy things on the menu... the crispy rolls are hard to turn down, green curry, pad thai (theirs is so authentic!) And much, much more! It's just a little strip mall restaurant, but their service and food are top drawer. And I love seeing the royal family pictures and other decor. The green guava candies are also a unique Thai touch as you leave. Go here, eat amazing food, and experience the warm, friendly Thai culture. Sawatdee Kha' ”

“ Bangkok Taste – Takeout Perfection! I can’t say enough good things about Bangkok Taste! I ordered takeout, my top 3 favorites, and every single bite was to die for. Even picking up the order felt special—the staff was so friendly and welcoming, it felt like I was being greeted by old friends. Chicken Pad Thai (No Heat): This dish is a comfort food dream. Tender chicken, soft rice noodles, scrambled egg, bean sprouts, and onions, all brought to life with crushed peanuts and a squeeze of lemon. Light, flavorful, and absolutely addictive. Chicken Curry Pad Thai (No Heat): The yellow curry sauce takes it to another level! Creamy, bold, and beautifully spiced without being too hot. It’s everything you love about Pad Thai, with a rich, savory twist. Chicken Fried Rice: Total comfort in a container. Juicy chicken, eggs, peas, carrots, and onions stir-fried to perfection. Every bite had that amazing smoky wok flavor that’s so hard to find. Whether dining in or grabbing takeout, Bangkok Taste never misses. Flavorful, fresh, and made with love this place is a gem. If you haven’t tried it yet, go now. Your taste buds will thank you! ”
“ I can not say enough about this small business. Everything we order is delicious. If you are new to Thai food, try Thai Basil Fried Rice with chicken. You will love it. Once you start eating it, it is so hard to stop. Enjoy! ”
