Bangkok Thai — Restaurant in Florida

We've been going to this restaurant for about a year and have LOVED it. Clean, good service and the best Thai food I've ever had. Whenever we have visiors we always bring them to Bangkok Thai.

A new owner came on the scene perhaps two months ago. He's been friendly coming around to tables and introducing himself. We told him how much we love the food and that we visit often, both in person and for pickup. We said "Please don't change anything!" and he said he didn't plan to. We've been in three more times... and we see some small things changing. Today we didn't see him.

I order the exact same thing everytime, so I have a baseline for comparison. The peanut sauce seems thinner and the flavor is a bit different. The satay chicken is a bit chewy and the pieces are a little smaller. The spring roll appetizer is much smaller, very noticible. The size brought out would compare to what they usually serve with the lunch special. We thought the appetizer WAS the spring roll they bring out was the lunch, but no it was not. They brought those out later and they had reduced in size so much there was barely any filling. The spring rolls were cool in the center which we had never experienced and the spring rolls included with the lunch were chewy, not crispy.

I'm not saying the food was bad, it's still good, especially our main meal, but it is slowly changing. Like us many people won't complain if it changes too much, they'll just stop going. Please don't change...

If you enjoy flavorful, fresh food, you will love Bangkok Thai. I'm not sure why this gem is even here. Put this same setup where I come from in the greater New York City area and they would be very wealthy fairly quickly. There are some very wonderful Thai Restaurants in that region and I would put Bangkok Thai up against any one of them. They are that good. The ambiance is nice, like the fresh flower you will find on your table. You can have your food mild, medium, hot or my favorite, Thai Hot and if you request it, Paula will even bring hotter spices to your table. You could not ask for a more welcoming place to dine. My wife and I went there once and when we returned some time later after a few months away, we were greeted by name and she even remembered what I had to eat - a customized version of yellow curry and drink - unsweet tea with no lemon. And that is another thing; if you desire a version of a meal that differs from that listed on the menu, they will make every effort to accommodate your request if they have the ingredients on hand. All in all, I would give this place six or even seven stars if it were possible, but alas I am confined to only five stars. My highest recommendation to...

We don't have an opportunity to eat out often, but wanted to try something different for a change and needed take out. Ordered Satay, Pad Thai and Fried rice dishes for a group of us. Satay smelled wonderful but the meat (both chicken and pork) was so dry and chewy it wasn't enjoyable at all. Only had a couple of bites and it was all left aside. Same thing happened for the Pad Thai and Fried Rice. Chicken and pork were so dry and had no flavor...like they were cooked separately, reheated in a microwave and then added. So disappointed!! The pad Thai noodles noodles were yummy and the fried rice was fine, but I didn't spend $78 for noodles and rice. Called to discuss with the manager/owner, after all guests sadly voiced the same feelings, and was told the only thing they could do was replace the order. I asked for a credit as it was late and guests were still there but told we had to bring the food back ???? OK, we did that the next day and were met with yelling and angry boss offering us a small portion of what we paid. Terrible customer service, especially after making 2 trips. Not so great end to a 20th Anniversary celebration....
