Bangkok Thai Cuisine on University avenue in Berkeley California served a delicious and meaty beef Panang Curry! I've driven by this restaurant many times but maybe because there's not much parking in the daytime I hadn't dined in this restaurant until recently. I am pleasantly very surprised at how delicious and full of big square thin chunks of tasty beef their panang curry bowl had in it. It had a spicy delicious panang curry sauce with chunks of beef, red and green peppers, plenty of fresh green beans and a few pieces of bay leaf for perfect seasoning. I didn't ask for it spicy or mild so it came normal and although it was perfect for me, some sensitive to people might ask for it to be one spice less. I thing I want to stress is the dish I got had a good bit of beef in it because unfortunately in my other Google reviews of restaurants I have had to report that most places do not put enough meat in their meat dishes because I think they're trying to save a tiny bit of money but unfortunately the end result is their losing customers. Their white jasmine rice was also cooked perfectly.
Service - The professional and pleasant waitress that served me that evening should be truly appreciated by their management. She greeted me with a big smile and was extremely pleasant and happy to deal with throughout my meal and was also on top of all aspects of her job including things like repetitively filling up my water and answering my questions. I wish all waiters and waitresses were as professional and friendly as she was.
Atmosphere- The interior atmosphere was fine and the bathroom was clean, which is always a good sign. And I actually liked the layout design of the long front window straight aisle. If you have read this far I want to prove that this isn't a insider / fake review so trying to find some type of negative I would think that the outside of restaurant storefront could use a makeover or maybe some new colorful store named or lunch or dinner deal advertisement type night lights. Maybe it's just in my mind but I don't think the outside of this restaurant has changed much, if at all, in a long time.
Tldr review: I think you'll save a few dollars going for their Many lunchtime specials but anytime of day that they are open you're going to get a delicious meal and...
Read moreWorst experience today! I went there because this use to be good food. I ordered Vegan Pad Thai with tofu, Vegan Pumpkin Yellow Curry with Tofu,Red curry with Tofu. I specifically asked them make it vegan, no eggs, no fish sauce no oyster sauce. I had ordered to go.To my surprise when I got food home, pad that has eggs in it!!! I called them, guy from restaurant said you said no fish sauce you didn't say no eggs!!! I said I specifically said make it Vegan!! He asked me to bring that back, I drove again obviously I was unhappy. Another thing, they charged me extra for Yellow curry with Tofu, extra $ for Tofu, and there was no tofu in curry at all!! When I went again to give Egg pad Thai back, that guy didn't even apologize he argued with me that I didn't say eggless, I said I repeatedly said that plus make it vegan, he said vegan doesn't mean no egg!!!!! What kind of vegan dictionary these people has!! They are in restaurant business and they don't know basic definition!!! And he argued with me that it was by fault!! When I mentioned about extra charge for tofu in yellow curry and no tofu at all, he argued " well when it says yellow curry with tofu means mix veggies in curry" I was like" so that means there suppose to be tofu in it?" He didn't even apologize in fact he was trying justifying how curry has vegetable in it!! So rude, so disappointment! Guess it's by bye bye to this place for sure Btw yellow curry has so much turmeric I could hardly taste coconut milk in the curry in front of...
Read moreBangkok Thai Cuisine: A Delicious Trip to Thailand
I recently had a fantastic meal at Bangkok Thai Cuisine, and it was a delightful trip to Thailand without leaving town! The Pad Thai was a real standout. It wasn't just delicious, it was perfectly balanced. The sweet, savory, and just a hint of spice all played together beautifully. Every bite was a flavor party in my mouth!
The veggie rolls were another winner. They were incredibly fresh and packed with flavor. The crispy lettuce gave way to a delightful filling making for a satisfying and light starter.
Overall, Bangkok Thai Cuisine impressed me. The food was fresh, flavorful, and authentic-tasting. While I can't speak to the entire menu, both the Pad Thai and veggie rolls were fantastic. If you're looking for a delicious and affordable Thai dining experience, I highly recommend...
