Bangkok Boulevard — Restaurant in Hamden

My family and I just ate here for the first time and left in a state of bewildered frustration. How could a place so warm and cosey with such amazingly attentive wait staff serve food that so terrible? Mind you we eat Thai food as often as possible at as many places as possible and the food at Bangkok Boulevard was truly the worst we've ever had by far. My to kha gai soup tasted like a bowl of pure lime juice and was so sour I coukd not finish it. The spring rolls, while edible, were the kind and of the quality you'd expect from a cheap Chinese takeout joint. The entrees were as bad, if not worse, than the appetizers. The Hot Basil stir fry, while advertised as one of the spiciest dishes on the menu, tasted like it had no spice at all. In fact it tasted like had no seasoning at all except for a generous cup of oil which permeated the otherwise flavorless sauce. The vegetables underneath this awful sauce we're cooked well but unfortunately could not be enjoyed due to the dishes other defects. My wife's steamed tofu and vegetable dish prove that oil was indeed the main ingredient of each and every entree on this Restaurant's menu. Once again the the sauce for this dish was absolutely flavorless and left a Pasty residue in the mouth which not even several glasses of water could wash away. It is hard to imagine that the place I'm talking about also happens to have perhaps the kindest and most helpful wait staff I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Are every request and need was attended to immediately and with a kind smile. And what's more, the restaurant itself was one of the most Charming and delightful little places I've been to in a while: warm, cozy, wonderfully decorated, with comfortable chairs and roomy tables. Were it not for the wait staff and atmosphere in this place I would have given...

This place was extremely horrifying. Where should I even begin. My friend’s peanut allergy was completely disregarded and she was served some peanut sauce. This endangered her life, and they refused to change the dish telling her to not touch the sauce. Her peanut allergy is severe and she can die without proper care after eating/touching peanuts. Furthermore, a previous costumer had forgotten his computer which we saw the staff drop to the ground. The costumer was not told about the handling of their computer. In addition, the menu stated that an 18% gratuity was included for groups of six or more people, yet when we received the check it stated that the gratuity was 20%. Seeing as how the service was negligent of medical conditions, we wanted to pay less gratuity. We were told we had to pay 20%, however, after complaining the waitress told us she would talk with her “boss” to get the gratuity down to the menu-indicated 20%. The waitress returned with “changed” receipts that included the same price as the first receipts. Essentially we were scammed and our friend’s deadly allergy was ignored. DO...

Eat here! It’s so good. Since moving to Hamden a few years ago, I’ve been ordering takeout from here several times. I’ve had the pad Thai, drunken noodles, spring rolls, green curry, garlic fried rice, and Tom Kai Gai. My wife often gets the ginger brown sauce with rice, veg and chicken which she also loves. She has also eaten there and tried the chicken satay and curry puffs - both which she said were excellent. The inside is also nice enough to eat in with a small group. Everything is fresh and tasty AND consistent regardless of the day or time we order. My favorites are the drunken noodles and green curry because both are spicy (4/5 🌶️) and delicious. I also got the Tom Kai Gai coconut soup when I was sick a few weeks ago and the broth was life giving with a generous amount of chicken. It is a bit on the pricier side but portions are generous. My wife and I share the green curry or when we both get our own, we always have a generous portion of leftovers for the next day. Can’t...
