Bangkok Thai — Restaurant in Virginia

Overall the food was good. When I go to a new restaurant I compare to the previous or one I’m already using as a baseline. I will say this, once we got past the initial mistake with my order, it went relatively well. The food had great flavor, the ambiance was calming (I was the only one there other than staff) so I know it was the music…light and refreshing. I ordered the ginger dish - Best Ginger/Med spicy - with shrimp. It came out with chicken….but they quickly, and with no pushback, corrected the error. Medium wasn’t spicy at all, I had to add chili paste. The staff wasn’t overly worrisome - they barely came over - but that was ok, I didn’t need much. I would stop here again if I was hungry and in the area. As stated, I dined alone…except for the worrisome ‘nat’, which tried to keep me company while I ate!

Review update- once again, COMMUNICATION IS KEY! I entered the establishment with the impression I was purchasing lunch, it was Saturday lunch time according to the hours posted on the door which by the way, included Sat/Sun along with the other ‘days of the week’ hours (see photo) thus Leaving one to believe they served lunch during those hours on those (all seven) days. I even stated I wanted the ‘lunch ginger dish….’ when I had placed my order. And just like ‘shrimp’ got translated to ‘chicken’, I guess ‘lunch’ got translated to ‘dinner’ SMH…and my mind is changed and I haven’t even left the building…I won’t be back. I don’t like to feel like I was ‘bamboozed’ into a...

Bangkok Thai. Okay so I love Thai food, I love Asian food. So i was in the are for a month and my morns were very early and I didn’t meal prep for lunch most days and this is how i found this restaurant. The first time i was a sit down, i had pineapple basil rice with yellow curry. Not sure i can do a review cause i didn't take a picture so im sliding it on here. It was good, but not spicy enough for me 😩. Great service. They have a t.v. And if your seat is facing it you can watch them bake cakes and desserts, an absolute favorite, why? Because it matched the peaceful ambiance of the restaurant and who in the heck doesn’t want to see desserts getting made. Also, ALSO, this place is not loud at all, a great place to wind down. Okay here in the picture is Bangkok Chicken, i got it to go. I asked for hot oil sauce with it, absolute fail, it was like burnt pan bottoms, i am a hot oil sauce guru, its the closest i can get to sambal matah (if you don’t know what it is please google it, the absolute best) okay so the bangkok chicken was service with white rice, i drizzled sauce over my rice since it was on the side and not underneath the chicken. The rice was good texture, light in flavor, not sticky, Rice. The bangkok chicken was basically general tso chicken, 😩. I did not want that at all, but hey i ordered it. It was really good and super spicy!!! 5 stars for the spice. The chicken was a great texture and had great flavor. I think this lunch was $13.75 and i...

Amazing! October 9th went with my significant other after a mini adventure and getting reacquainted with the area.. saw Bangkok Thai and was not disappointed!

Presentation and service, on point! The server was very attentive, and took care of us.

The sauces were all on point.. I loved the cucumber one. The curry bites (look like potstickers in the photos) were awesome, and I'm not big on mega heat.. so I didn't get to finish my yellow curry, but it was great. Forgot to take a picture of the curry dishes, but the ice cream with the banana spring roll was yummy!

After leaving I felt guilty because we were the last customers of the night, but I never felt rushed.

Update! Listen. I've been CRAVING those puffs. Went there today because the storm knocked out power, and I'm so in love. The sauces are still on point. Money bags are fantastic and are like mini pot pies but cutely wrapped!

I got quite a few apps this time, and so worth it.

Last time I did this, as seen above, I didn't like spicy. Listen, my boyfriend has tainted me, and I'm now in love with it. The yellow curry wasn't spicy after the Bangkok noodles dish (N7), but I really really enjoyed the soy garlic. It was pure heaven aromatic coming from the dish, and it didn't disappoint with flavor!

Seriously, I missed the curry puffs, I wanted them for so long and it was better than last time. Ugh that cucumber sauce is gonna be my...
