I live in the UK, but visited the restaurant many times during my residency in HK two years. Everyone who knows me, will say I am the harshest critic when it comes to Thai food; as I not only have a Thai parent but have spent a lot of time in different parts of Thailand to have developed a taste for the cuisine.
Having eaten in Thai restaurants in several countries I still haven't found ONE outside of Thailand (even in the UK) whose cooking comes close to the standard of that at the New Bangkok. Elsewhere, if not bland as newspaper leaves a lot to be desired (e.g. too sweet or sour, loaded with MSG etc).

Even added those I still couldn’t finish my small bowl of noodles as I have completely lost...
