Bangkok St. Thai Restaurant Fairfax — Restaurant in Merrifield

I enjoyed my dinner at Bangkok St. Thai Restaurant. This was my first time dining here, and I came in for dinner on a weeknight around 7PM. There were a couple of tables still available, but there was only one person staffed to wait on all the seated customers and attend the cash register for carryout orders. There wasn't a hostess stand, and also no sign letting customers know to seat themselves. We finally went to the cashier, who told us we could sit anywhere. I saw quite a few groups come in and awkwardly stand by the door wondering what to do, so I think a sign would have been helpful.

I ordered the Thai Beef Jerky, Pad Thai with Chicken and a Thai Iced Tea. Everything was good. It's definitely not the best Thai Food in the area, but I would definitely order the beef jerky and Thai Iced Tea again. Also, the portions are pretty huge. My order of Pad Thai was enormous! I think it's almost triple what I normally get at other...

Did a carry-out order for Drunken Noodles. First of all, the customer service was horrible (not a happy bunch of employees if you ask me), second of all she charged me full-price for my order without even asking me if i wanted the lunch special one or not (which is $2 more btw), and third of all, when i opened my carry-out box excited for my food, it looked like they jumbled up a bunch of noodles and stuffed it in the box. The noodles were a bit soggy (which is NOT what it's supposed to be like), there was BARELY any chicken or veggies, and i will never go back. Food was terrible, service was terrible, and I feel like I just wasted $10 on crap that I could've made waay better myself...AND I'M NOT EVEN THAI!! I really wouldn't recommend this place,...

Do not eat here; go to Happy Thai instead which is less than a mile from here and much better.

The only reason to go here is if Happy Thai is closed. We ordered on the phone from Bangkok St. Thai, they repeated the order, and then tried to lie/gaslight us into saying they just misheard the order when we came to pick it up and they got it wrong. Then they took 15 minutes to make the new order and didn't offer any compensation or small courtesy while waiting. (Of note, we were lucky we checked the order before taking it home.)

The food was also aggressively mediocre and not worth the price, wait, or bad service.

Happy Thai is amazing with amazing service and much better food! Happy Thai's drunken noodles, pad see ew, and dishes are much...
