Bangkok Restaurant and Lounge — Restaurant in Amarillo

Tucked away off the interstate, this little settlement was a pleasant surprise to our digestive tracts. The parking is readily available, with sparse customers. There were nice Christmas decorations, which appealed to children. A fish tank was also present, a nice touch. Upon initial inspection, it is a cozy spot with a low roof and homey decorations. Among the numerous Thai restaurants in the area, one might avoid this one. After one glances at the menu, they might be put off by the dull and unsaturated colors of the dishes. The appearance provokes no appetite. However, once you order and you receive your food, the aroma and texture of the dishes immediately hits down deep. The cameras which captured the dishes do them no justice visually. But once you take a bite, it’s almost like the menu set your expectations low just so you could be surprised by the spectacular flavor. The quality of the food deserves more than 5 stars. It captures the flavor and character of Thai perfectly, with sweet, spicy, and savory blended to perfection. The portions are also generous, without the outrageous pricing of some Thai establishments that have beautiful dishes aesthetically but fail to deliver on the flavor. I recommend the red curry, with sweet tones over the aromatic spice blend. Overall, this is worth a detour, and don’t be fooled by its appearances. This is a prime example of not reading a book...

Worse place, , took my family, this was my third time i went for me, The plate that my daughter order was not what she expect it. So she return it and was not touch at all, we told them not to charge it anymore because it was the last plate we received and didn't like it at all. So they the waitress that did not took our order asked us why with the plate in his hands, I told him, my daughter didn't like it. They never offer if we want it to change it at all:((. At that point we ready to paid. My husband paid for the plate we didn't like. I told the lady why?? You charge of something we didn't like, she box the plate to go and still said, we know our food is good, and if you didn't like it, you still paid:( I was really sick that day, so of course i couldn't argue that much , I told her we never ever coming back, we don't need that plate to go either, when we told you, we didn't like the plate. Nasty place, poor Customer Service and for sure not a clean place, starting with one particular male waitress , always trying to be stupid Funny and always dirty:(( give your self a favor keep driving and don't stop...

Man, there is just something about those family owned restaurants. I was in Amarillo visiting my buddies not expecting to find any decent asian food. To my surprise, this spot had some really good, bring you back to childhood, combo fried rice. The waiter was hilarious and made us feel at home. Being from the Bay Area, I am no stranger to good asian food. The problem these days is that a lot of the great family run spots in my locale didn't survive covid. Now, i pretty much only go out to fancier places to make it feel worth spending my money. But one thing i can always justify is supporting a local family owned establishment, and they knocked it out...
