Bangkok Thai — Restaurant in New Orleans

Read the recent reviews. I should have, but I didn't think it was necessary because I've been going here for 15 years, just not recently. This place used to be amazing. I'm guessing it's under new ownership.

We ordered two entrees of pad kee mao, one of which was tofu and veggies, with extra tofu. They said it would be ready in 10 minutes and it was. We took the food home and immediately noticed there was no tofu and just veggies in the one. I took a photo of the dish and the receipt, called the restaurant and spoke with the guy at the front who took the order and explained the issue. I opted to just take back the wrong order and get it replaced with the correct one.

When I arrived, 20 minutes later, no one had even started my order. The owner is apparently also the cook and needed to see what I brought in as well as the receipt before she attempted to cook it correctly. I don't understand her point. She remade the same exact same dish and put in less than 3 pieces of tofu. There were no orders cooking and very few people in the restaurant each time.

I took it home to my cold half of the order, now about an hour old because she refused to remake the food when I called. The food was bland and didn't even taste like Thai. The crispy rolls were soggy.

It's a shame because this was once a really...

We loved the sharable appetizers and exceptional renditions of our favorite Thai dishes!

We highly recommend the Pad Basil and Ginger Fish. We also really enjoyed the Crispy Tofu and spring rolls appetizers. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the flavors were on point! Next time I want to try the Cocunut Seafood Soup and maybe one of the salads. We'll also have to be sure to save room for dessert, especially the fried banana with ice cream or mango with sticky rice!

If you like spicy food, my Cajun companion challenges you to try Bangkok Thai's spice level 5!

Although this was our first visit to Bankok Thai, we noted there were several regulars. We loved the friendly and attentive service, along with the beautiful decor and quiet music.

Thanks so much for a great experience. Can't wait to visit again!

Bangkok Thai has utterly fantastic food--my friends and I go twice a week. We have tried several other Thai places uptown, and this is the best (w/ good value too). I love the basil duck, but the pad thai and pad kee mao are also delicious, and there are several other menu items I want to try. It's just hard to stray from what I usually order because it is always so good.

Best of all, the service is always friendly, helpful and efficient. The place is coming under new ownership, and the new proprietress, Kate, is doing a great job. The restaurant itself is in a lovely and intimate space, which feels local and homey in the best possible way, and everything is clean and well-organized.

All I can say is that I will continue to visit twice a week for as long...
