Diner Review №9

Diner Review №10

The portion was massive! Soups were nice just more on the sweet side. Place is big but quite lack of design. The only big problem was our table didn’t have any sauces. Upon asking the staff said she would take a tray to us, but we did not got any upon finishing our meal :(

Diner Review №11

Best pho in Merced and the rice ice cream is a must try!

Diner Review №12

Diner Review №13

The place is clean. Service is great. Went with my family of 6. My kids got the chow mein noodles (plain because they’re picky). I got the chicken noodle soup. Everything was delicious and quick! Would eat here again.

Diner Review №22

Iv been eatting here for a bit more than 10 years but somewhere along the road, the quality of the food here drop quiet a bit. Lately the pan fried dishes like pad thai and pad kee mao been a bit plain lately.

I've always liked the sweeter taste they had in it but now it's a bit more bitter and dry. It's like a taste... suited for more older peoples now... like grandpas and grandmas.
And also, their curry dishes is a bit strange. Why am I'm ordering a curry dish that comes with no rice. About 15usd+ for the dish and no rice? There is no reason I have to order rice on the side with a curry dish at this price.

Wee drive from lemoore to try this Thai and I can say the best I’ve had since I went to Oxnard this is a great place to come and be with family and friends the place is big and has lots of parking and really great staff

Diner Review №27

I went there and I got my usual dish cuz I go there very often but tonite. The service was not great I had finished my soda and the waitress didn't offer me another. Then another waitress was taking another table's order when order was she continued to bring food out to the table and continued to pass by table four times so I finally said something. I said excuse me can I get more napkins and she didn't even say anything she just went and grabbed napkins and still didn't say anything and I've been going there over 3yrs and the first time I've had bad service

Great shop if you need Thai style food. Everything from the pho, laarb, pad Thai, egg rolls are all pretty good here. It’s our family’s go to when we are craving Thai food. Location isn’t in the best of areas of Merced but sometimes that’s where hidden gems just are.

Diner Review №33

i love their broccoli and beef, been going here for decades

Diner Review №34

They don’t have my dish on the menu! You will have to tell them to make it! Just say raw shrimp and raw sliced thin beef type of salad 😅 just show them this pic and they will understand lol mine was at spicy level which i don’t recommend because I couldn’t really enjoy it 🥵 tell them medium spicey if you love spice like me

It’s good food but prices don’t match the menu was kinda confused when my 13$ plate came out to 19$ so menu needs price update

Diner Review №40

Diner Review №41

Large portions! Ordered the basic chicken pad thai. Good flavor, but no spiciness and a bit sweeter than I'm used to. Really appreciated the fresh bean sprouts. More than enough for leftovers

Diner Review №42

Gotta try this please 🙏😇😎

Diner Review №43

Great, tasty food. We ordered the Pad Thai, red curry, and eggplant. All were delicious. Serving sizes are generous and prices are in line with everywhere else, if not a bit cheaper than other Than restaurants in Merced. Highly recommended.

The service is great, and the food is very tasty. The food is a bit oily, but full of flavors. The prices are reasonable.

Diner Review №67

😭😭 first time with fiance I love it the pad thai is different from what im used to a bit sweet but definitely going again.we went on a sunday afternoon and it was not busy at all about 3 other tables the thai tea was yummy and lasted for a while the coconut drink was also pretty good as well

Diner Review №68

Very quick and friendly service. I ordered the Fried Tofu with Special Sauce (appetizer) and Prad Kao Tofu. The Fried Tofu with Special Sauce was definitely my favorite! The texture of the tofu was just right! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Definitely would recommend!

Diner Review №69

We ordered 6 entrees and 2 soups. My wife had to triple check the order, things were forgotten but charged for, they told my wife they do not serve white rice with the curries? Is that correct? Does not seem right

Good food.

Diner Review №82

This is my favorite Thai restaurant by far: the Pad Ki Mau is to die for and Kesone provides the warmest and most dedicated service one could ask for. Be sure to check them out!

Diner Review №83

Always call ahead of time if you're taking out.. 😉

Diner Review №84

The owner has done some good updates to his restaurant, worth a visit if you're in the area!

Second time here and won’t be the last. Super good, spicy food. ♥️

Diner Review №92

Merced, CA: Bangkok Thai Restaurant - Large portions for a very reasonable price. Delicious coconut drink with actual coconut flesh. Wonderful lemongrass, mushroom, chicken, and coconut milk soup with the perfect amount of ginger. Fabulous red panang curry. Perfectly crispy egg rolls with delicious dipping sauce. Extremely tasty orange chicken.

Diner Review №93

We ordered take out tofu curry but they gave us beef. They easily fixed the problem. And it's always are go to spot for Thai. Food although Thai cuisine is also bomb.

Houa Khong 2 is way better ! There chef is more consistent “TRY” it out you’ll agree the same !

Diner Review №99

Went around 2 on a Friday afternoon. There were only 3 tables taken and a couple of waitresses. My daughter and I got seated right away. It was clean, quiet and comfortable inside with some music playing. They served water right after seating us. Our order was ready quickly and The flavor was great, there’s a tray full of sauces on the table which I used to make a separate sauce to pour over. My daughter got the red beef curry and she loved it. We were in and out in about 30 minutes. Will definitely come again!

Diner Review №100

Was in the Merced area & clueless of any good restaurants to grab a bite from. Some guy from the monthly superflea suggested Bangkok Thai… probably the most delicious place I have devoured food from. I got me some chicken pad Thai and AGHH first bite and I was defeated by all the flavors. Egg rolls were a little good too but PAD THAI from here toooo good. Can’t wait to come back

Diner Review №101

Diner Review №102

Great food. Consistent. Good portion for price. Super busy and under staff sometime. Favorite place in town.

Diner Review №103

You should argue about the tips with me directly if you feel it is too little instead of charge my card more than how much I paid for!

Diner Review №104

Good food

Diner Review №105

Diner Review №106

Never had Thai before , I was really pleased . I got the pineapple rice bowl with shrimp and chicken .

Diner Review №107

I ate here for mother's day. The workers were friendly but the service was slow. I enjoyed my pad thai but I wasn't a fan of their fried rice. My mom ordered the meatball soup and really enjoyed it. Three out of six of us were disappointed with their food because they were expecting it to be spicy and it wasn't. So, I would say definitely give it a try and see what you think. I noticed alot of people eating noodle soup when I was there. So maybe that's the star at this restaurant. I will definitely have to come back and try it.

Kayla was our waitress she was so pleasant and gave us great customer service. You can never go wrong here.

Diner Review №111

This is a great Thai Restaurant! Don't the outside fool you, the food is awesome! Staff is friendly and place was clean. It could use some maintenance, but this doesn't affect the food quality or comfort.

Diner Review №112

It's always so delicious! Love this place!

Diner Review №113

Have been craving pho all week and trying out places I've never been too. This place in Merced is great! The food was delicious! I absolutely loved my beef style pho ❤ The building is pretty huge so you most likely won't have a waiting time. Everything is spaced out and you'll have enough room to bring up to a party of 6. For my party of 3 with drinks it was under 40$ which is a really good deal if you know how expensive pho can get 💪

Diner Review №114

Coming from the SF bay area, prices here are comparatively affordable, portions are great. Ordered tom yum soup, pineapple fried rice and thai iced tea

Diner Review №115

Yum 😋 chicken pad priew wan! Best lunch ever... we got Bangkok to-go today and had a date at home. Thank you, Bangkok!

Diner Review №116

Crazy slow.

Diner Review №120

I really enjoyed eating here very nice decor the food was fresh and came out fairly fast considering the takeout orders flowing in rapidly it does get a bit loud because of the building it tends to echo so having an important conversation this may not be a first choice but definitely try the food it's great I suggest the pho or the barbeque beef it is delicious

Diner Review №121

Diner Review №122

Really good food the wait is a little long because they are short staffed, but to me it didn't matter

Diner Review №123

Diner Review №124

The food was delicious, I've been here on a multitude of occasions and everytime it's always great. The food is always made fast. The best Thai food I've ever had.

Diner Review №125

This hidden gem in downtown Merced never ceases to satisfy. Every dish is amazing but I am partial to the beef salad and pad se ew. Don't let it's alley entry fool you. It has a large dining area with both table and booth options. The staff is super friendly and on top of their game.

Diner Review №126

The food looked great but sadly I ordered pickup via ChowNow, which the restaurant does not partner with anymore. I'd recommend ordering through Bangkok Thai's actual website (vs. what is linked on here as "pickup") so you won't be disapppinted like I was. 🥲 The restaurant was pretty busy though and the staff seemed nice!

Diner Review №127

This place is great better then Sams Cafe.. sorry Sam 🤭

Diner Review №131

Ordered for delivery through doordash. Unfortunately my driver contacted me and told me he had to cancel my delivery because he was waiting for almost a half-hour for a simple Pad Thai Dish and had to go home to take care of his young son. I have had the same experience and would encourage the staff to get those orders out and not just pay attention to the people that are dining in the restaurant. I've had several friends that no longer go here for this reason. Time to get your act together guys!

Diner Review №132

I ordered online through ChowNow only to find out that Bangkok Restaurant has been having problems with their services for a month or so. I received a confirmation email that my card was charged and processed after placing my order. I arrived at Bangkok Restaurant and asked a server about my order. She explained that they have not been working with ChowNow and stopped taking orders from them. She then mentioned that I should get a refund from ChowNow. However, from Chownow's refund policy, I won't be able to get my money back. I feel like my time was wasted and I won't be getting my money back.

I am disappointed as the food from Bangkok is good and I enjoy eating there. After this experience, I highly recommend they should let it be known that they have stopped working with ChowNow as it can cause more problems for their customers in the future. I think they could at least update their details info on Google or place a warning in their restaurant to let customers know.

Diner Review №134

This used to be one my favorite pho places in merced but unfortunately I'm going to have cross it off my list. The pho is terrible now. It has a really bad artificial pho flavor that you get from instant pho noodles. No amount of hoisin sauce, sriracha sauce will help it. Also the portion size is way smaller than it used to be and cost $12. But the service was good at least. In summary save your money and save yourself from disappointment from eating at Bangkok.

Diner Review №135

Pad Thai, fried rice, and chow mein were delicious and large portions

Good food great server he's new but seats dirty trays under condiments need cleaning every time salt lumpy due to water probably when wiping, all shakers need cleaning the server will go far knowing customers appreciate his effort in making a clean pleasant area especially when his customer is a restaurant owner .

There are lots of good Thai restaurants in Merced, but this is our go-to spot in town! I highly recommend it!

Diner Review №162

They do a spectacular job of adding fresh made to order food! We've only been eating here for a couple of months. The best Thai food in town! We've definitely added this to our roster of best places to eat!

Diner Review №172

Great food! I always look for the authenticity in places when I go out to eat. I don't like varients or substituts for originality. This is it.. they have a big menu to choose from. If you're not sure what your ordering please ask what it is first. The curry is great and the pho is good. I wish they served Thai Boat tnough. They also have seafood available from oysters to fried talapia..

Ambiance is good and restrooms are clean. The mango rice is a good desert and the fried banana ice cream.. mmm..

Diner Review №173

Diner Review №174

Great food, fun dining, fun utensils and across from Restored Thrift Store.

Diner Review №175

Best yellow curry in the world

Diner Review №176

Diner Review №177

I would come here all the time, but now it tastes like their pho broth has reused and made weeks before broth! It’s not as good as it used to be. In addition, beware if you order seafood, even if it looks and tastes disgusting, where you gag, they will stay make you pay for it! Worst Thai food and service

Food is always good line usual. But Like the waitress/host. She was being rude, you can tell she had a long day or a hard time. Smh. I only did a pick up too.

Diner Review №188

Cuando llegue las meseras estaban muy ocupadas. Y cuando paso una por mi mesa le pedí el menú pero la comida muy buena y muy limpio me gusto

Diner Review №189

We have been eating here for years and they are always consistent with their good dishes. Their green curry and massaman curry are the best, hands down. The curry is so coconutty and rich, full of flavor. I won't eat curry anywhere else but here.

Their duck egg noodle soup is the best as well. No lie. They slice their roast duck and give you a good portion of tender duck meat. No bones in the soup and the broth is clear and so flavorful. I have not found a place who can top their duck egg noodle soup and curries.

Diner Review №190

Delicious food!! 😋

Love it! Visiting my daughter in Merced and always come here for the duck curry. Outstanding. Daughter is partial to the Tom Yum which I tried and found really lovely. Wait staff very nice. A bit pricey, but not too bad. Recommended.

Diner Review №195

Best yellow curry in town

Diner Review №196

The fried rice is great and so is the Thai sweet tea.

Diner Review №197

The food was delicious. Service was friendly & fast.

Diner Review №198

Diner Review №199

Good and cheap Thai. Pad thai is the perfect greasiness. Curries are full of flavor. Their pho was surprisingly good. Covid precautions are well regulated and staff is friendly. Before covid this place was perfect for college students and families.
