We ate at the Bangkok Thai Argonne location on Saturday, August 5, 2023. The restaurant is cozy, well-maintained, and inviting. I ordered the chicken pad thai and it was seriously one of the best dishes I have consumed at a restaurant in a long time. It was fresh, flavorful, and plentiful. The restaurant makes adding the right amount of spice to your dish easy by asking you “how spicy you want it” on a scale of 1-5. I went with a “4” and it was just enough to make my nose run and deliver the kick I crave…I loved every bite. The portions are also very generous and the price I paid ($18) was well worth it.
Only reason why I can’t leave a 5-star review was because of the service. My wife and I met another couple for this dinner. We were never asked if we wanted drinks, we waited forever in-between different parts of the meal (putting in our order, getting our food, receiving our check, etc.), and weren’t even asked if we wanted the check split up between couples. The husband of the couple we were with asked our server for a beer (he initiated the request after we weren’t asked) and the beer never came. With that said, the server did apologize after the meal for the spotty service so I do want to recognize him for that.
Reading the other reviews it sounds like the service is usually really good at Bangkok Thai so I think we may have just visited them on a bad day but the taste of the food didn’t suffer at all. We...
Read moreShort version : The food is very bad. DISGUSTING SLOP. Go to Chans Bistro instead it's like 30 seconds north from here and actually serves awesome food! This place is the worst meal I've had out to eat in a long time. Total waste of money. We had to go somewhere else after for dinner out as there was nothing on our plates that wasn't amazingly borderline comically bad.
Horrible food and rude apparent owner who is apparently in denial about the "food" they are sending out. Like someone from Kitchen Nightmares or something. Maybe Gordon should pay this slop shack a visit. I would never go back EVER again. Absolutely definitively terrible. We didn't eat either of our meals because they were gag me gross, terrible tasting, disgusting flavorless mushy piles of slop. One bite out of each of our meals before sending them back to the trash can where apparently it was sourced from and we still paid $65 with the owner still coming out with attitude acting confused and telling us how everyone likes their food and acting as if we were crazy...what a looney. Disappointing overpriced garbage is an understatement. The waitress was very nice however so at least they've got that going for them. If you want good thai or asian food in this area go to Chans Bistro just a bit north of it off Argonne. Wayyyyyyyy better. Night and day better. Don't waste your time or money...
Read moreOld rating at bottom -UPDATING MY RATING UNFORTUNATELY, they must have lost cooks. Received about 4 separate orders over a month period with undercooked bell pepper, mushrooms, and various other vegetables, as well as missing ingredients in 2 of those orders. Got a refund for the 2 missing ingredients ones - bringing back the food. I did not want to give up on them; since I'd been religiously ordering for some time now. I ordered again on Wednesday and it was undercooked horribly. I threw it on my stove top and tried to heat it up; it was late and thats what they told me to do when I called the last time it was undercooked. I realized again they had used a different spice? And there were peanuts in it I'm assuming accidentally? (I ordered the #32 ginger chicken which is amazing when cooked correctly) so again not the dish I ordered and tasted completely different, and took me an extra 15-20min of heating it up my self and cooking it basically once I got home. Very disappointing and no longer going to be recommending them nor ordering. -------Great customer service, amazing food, my personal favorites are #'s 40, 32, 34, 37 &12. I get the #32 with ginger chicken the most, take out style most of the time and it's enough to feed me 2-3 days ♥︎ great portion sizes! All of their entrees are great sizes. And all of their appetizers are...
