Hello Bangkok Mississauga — Restaurant in Mississauga

I went to Hello Bangkok for the first time and we just walked around before we decided to go here in Port Credit and it looked busy so we decided to check it out. This was on a Friday night and the patio was almost full. We ended up sitting on the patio, beside the in and out door.

To drink I ordered the pineapple coconut martini and I was really surprised that it didn't taste strong but it was strong or maybe I felt it more because I hadn't eaten too much before that. It tasted ok but I wouldn't order it again.

We ordered the Bangkok style Pad Thai with shrimp and the pineapple fried rice With chicken.

We waited over 45 minutes for our food. People that arrived after us, that's two parties one party of two and another party of three to four both got their food before we did

Then I saw the pineapple Fried rice come out but then they didn't bring it to our table, they brought it to the table of four and when the server was asking them about it I saw the guest gesturing to take it and then I saw the manager come out quickly and take it back from them and guess what that was actually ours. When I told the manager he just said wait a minute wait a minute and he went back but minutes went by after that and I food still didn't come out. When the manager came out the second time I said we didn't get our food yet and we've been waiting a long time and then he brought out both dishes the pineapple fried rice which by now was cold and the Bangkok style Punta which was hot.

The food tasted great. The food quality is excellent. The service kind of sucked because there's not that many of us out there and they really should have noticed that we haven't got our food. We were seated just beside the door so it's not really like we're invisible because they had to pass us each time they went in and out. I'm really disappointed in the service and that the manager knowing gave us cold food that was supposed to be served hot.

We probably should have sent the pineapple fried rice back. Since he knew he was giving us food that was cold by now, I suspect they wouldn't have fixed it. I'll never know. I'm really disappointed to have this experience.

I took one star off because our food took so long to come out and other tables who came after us for served before us. I took another star off was because our food got served to another table initially and that table even accepted it. And the last star I took off because when I told the manager I think it was ours and it was, he didn't listen and said one minute but it did still didn't come out after that. I had to ask again and then he brought out the same dish that was served to another table and I know that's true because it was cold. The manager knew this and still served it to us. ...

Since moving from the NYC area a year and a half ago I've been on a mission looking for authentic Thai Green Curry. I've eventually had to lower the bar to having at least the curry itself meeting that bar cause everyone else was using either just the paste in the can, which is very bland and simply doesn't cut it, or some off texture/lacking certain flavor profiles for the dish. Happy to say my long search is over.

Walked in with the family cause we heard good things. Still had some reservations as I've hit up at least a dozen well known Thai spots across the GTA and only found one in Toronto up to that point (Khao San Road). I asked them to remove the bell peppers and broccoli and replace them with just bok choy (didn't have Thai eggplants) and have the curry spicier (not with hot chili oil but with Thai green peppers) cause green curry is typically the spicier curry when done right. Man, this curry hit on all cylinders. Had the full complexity of true Thai green curry.

I've finally found authentic curry and it's amazing. If can't handle spicy foods, i would avoid asking to make it spicier but definitely give it a shot without the added heat. If you CAN handle spicy food, try pairing it with a sweet Riesling from Senaca lake (one of the finger lakes) or a Riesling from the Nahe or Mosel region in Germany (preferably a Kabinett or Spatlese with alcohol around 8~10%) as those region's Rieslings have high acidity along with the sweetness (unfortunately Ontario Riesling makers don't make sweeter Rieslings except icewine, which is too sweet for this pairing). Will have to bring in the bottle for now with a corkage fee but the sweetness of the wine pairs great with the spiciness of the curry and the acidity and complexity of the wines pairs great with the flavor profiles of that authentic curry. Can't do that elsewhere cause their Thai curry lacks the flavors to make the magic happen.

The host and owner couldn't be nicer and the place has a sold interior where it's inviting. Chef is from Southern Thailand and has dishes from that region that I'm definitely checking out the next time i go.

Best Thai green curry in the GTA and on the same level as Thai green curry in the Virginia area near DC (famous for their authentic Thai food). Their pad see ew was very good as well. Can't wait to try their other dishes!

I hope they never change that green...

Everytime I visit the area I usually end up just eating at Snug Harbour but on this occasion I wanted to try something else... Big mistake.

The best thing about this place was probably the decor. The space seemed clean and felt comfortable with a lot of seating and was really quiet when we were there.

I see many reviews praising the service but my experience was definitely not praiseworthy. We were basically shown to a table, given water, orders taken and payment processed. All with the minimal of communication and definitely no friendliness. I am usually ok with this but what bothered me was the extra charges for everything. I ordered the pad see ew and was asked whether I wanted beef or chicken. I had assumed since pad see ew was usually just flat noodles, a bit of Chinese broccoli and protein that the protein was included in the price (not to mention that nowhere did it mention the protein costs extra) but nope I was charged to extra to add beef with no communication about it. So I guess if I didn't add any protein I would have been eating plain flat noodles for $19. My companions as well each had to pay an extra $4 for white rice as their dishes didn't come with anything. Who serves curry without rice? Just wasn't thrilled with being nickel and dimed for everything.

I might have let it slide if the food was amazing like many were saying in the other reviews but nope. Not sure if I caught this place on an off day but my food was at best average. My pad see ew was pretty bland and the beef was a bit tougher than I would have liked. My friend said his curry was just ok and definitely not worth what they charged him. To top it all off the portions were really small as my dish barely had any noodles and I was starving still after dropping $25+ on a dish.

I definitely will not be coming back here again. For the quality of food and service I probably would have been better off at a fast food joint. Plenty of Thai restaurants in the GTA definitely do...
