Bangkok West — Restaurant in California

I'm a Thai food fan and have been to many places here and abroad. Bangkok West is good, but not great. Personally, I'd liken it to fast food Thai. Pros: food is flavorful. I did like the curry flavors. The fresh spring rolls are good. Food is super fast (we placed a to go order and it was delivered in 15 minutes at 6 pm) and fairly priced. The cons: all the veggies were super al dente and a weird mix... I do applaud them for using eggplant, baby corn, celery, raw zucchini, classic cut carrots and a few obscure veggies in the same dish. But. Weird. Also, eggplant is bitter, especially when it's undercooked. I wanted to love it but there are better Thai restaurants in the area. Still...maybe it's my taste buds and to be fair, we ordered pineapple curry and panang curry + spring rolls so maybe other menu items are better. People seem to love it and it has been around for a LONG time so give it a try. ;) The...

First time eating at this restaurant while visiting a friend in this area. We were seated fairly quickly. Once the waitress was ready to take our order, she was curt and seemed bothered when we had questions about the menu. She didn’t offer us water or ask if we wanted anything else to drink. I will say that they gave us our food quickly and it was good. However, not once did she or any other wait staff check on us, offer more water, etc. Once the waitress saw we were done, she acted pleasant and gave us our checks. I left cash tip on the table and went to the front to pay with card. The same waitress was at the register to take payment. I obviously did not add tip on the receipt since I had already left cash and she did not know I had done so. Nevertheless, she had the nerve to say “You need to leave tip”. I didn’t bother to discuss with her, given the poor service, she should be thankful I...

This place is really well decorated! It's a treat to the eye! We got seated quickly, and were asked if we wanted beverages quickly. The service was pretty good and the staff was very nice. I ordered Mango Salmon and it tasted amazing! The bathrooms were pretty clean except for one sheet of paper towel on the floor. However, I'm not giving this a 5 star rating because they didn't give us change! And no I'm not one of those people that will let a single thing ruin the experience. Although, it's still kind of a negative. Also, the gumballs were old. I just looked at the machine and one of them had a dark spot. That's kind of gross. However it's still a great place to go for dinner! Except, don't expect getting...
