We dined here last night. We were first seated at a booth table that was much too tight a space, so we moved to a regular table in the back area, which was roomy but looked rather neglected. When the server took our order, one of us asked for a shrimp dish. The server apologized and said that they were... More

Food is good but you have to like spicy! Very tasty and those of us who like spicy really enjoyed it, but if you don't like spicy, you had better find dishes w/o any spice. Beware

Awesome Thai good but they have gotten so busy, service while dining in or for delivery could be a very long wait. They need to hire more people! I liked to get the sticky rice (or "sweet rice") instead of plain rice for meal. Excellent mango with sticky rice for dessert.

I have been eating here for 13 years and it is still my favorite place to go in the winter. On a weekend we choose which restaurant to go to and this is our favorite. The food is the best, beats Tara Thai by far. The drunken noodles are good, the chicken basil is amazing. The place renovated a couple... More

We used to have dinner at Bangkok Garden every Friday many years ago. Last Friday, a group of us revisited a BG with a new look. The owner remembered us and welcomed us warmly. We ordered our favorite dishes like Crispy fish with chili and garlic sauce, Bangkok Garden calamari, Pad Thai, Chicken Larb, etc. and, of course, Singha beer.... More

Another good meal at a fair price. We enjoyed the special crispy duck with sweet & sour sauce and the traditional Pad Thai. Service is alway spot on.

Bangkok Garden has been nicely remodeled since we were last there. The entry foyer has been opened up to make it more welcoming, the walls in the main dining room are sheathed in slate tile, the bar has been expanded and opened up, the bathrooms have been very nicely upgraded. Still wouldn't call it a luxe destination, but they've done... More
