Staff was friendly and decor was great. Outdoor like so you had this strange indoor outdoor feeling going on. I've seen many paintings of the (last) king but never a full bust before. The miniature food carts in glass cases are adorable and detailed.

Menu was outdated, the online one seems more accurate. Food was good if a bit sweet, which made it very nostalgic of south bay Thai food from a couple decades ago.

If you're looking for delicious, authentic Thai food, Bangkok Sapphires Thai Cuisine is a fantastic choice!

I tried their crab fried rice and chicken satay, and both were packed with flavor. The food was well-prepared, and even when ordering takeout, everything was hot and fresh upon arrival.

The mom and pop restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, and the service is friendly. Whether you're dining in or grabbing food to go, they take care to ensure a great experience.

Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving traditional Thai flavors...
