NO DINING AFTER 4pm.
Due to being short staffed, we only offer dining during lunch hours.
A hidden gem in Midwestern Michigan.
Very cozy, run by a family in Caledonia. Their Thai food and prices blow every other Thai place out of the water. There are tons of flavor, spice, and anything you can want from a Thai place.
I have gone here multiple times in the past few months with friends, and I have not been disappointed a single time.
Always friendly, always yummy, always exactly what I order. Great addition to the community - give them a try if you're around!
My son urged me to try this place and glad i did. Really good food. Not a curry person but plenty of options. The spice levels can get high. Mild+ was more than enough spice for me. It was all made correct and on time
Delicious and good spicy Thai food, I am originally from Taiwan so our Thai food is quite different than that here but I was not disappointed at all, I love the peanut curry especially with the sauce all over fried rice, and even though I’m more of a rice person than a noodle fan, I very much enjoyed their chicken pad Thai too.
It was my first time trying this tiny restaurant in my town and boy was I happily surprised! I tried the drunken noodles, medium spicy and the peanut curry noodles, medium spicy. Both were so delicious. Medium spicy is quite spicy if you're not prepared for it. Personally it was good for me, but it might be a lot for some people. Those drunken noodles with chicken were so good. The peanut curry was good, but the carrot medallions in it were quite raw. I've found my new go to for spicy and delicious food. I look forward to making my way thru the menu.
We had the lunch special, $8. I had the Peanut Curry, which seemed like Panang, and hubby had the Pad Pak, which seemed like Chinese brown sauce. They were both good. He got mild and thought it was spicy, and I got mild+, which was pretty spicy. You can eat in the tiny dining room for lunch on real dishes. Dinner is just takeout. Hopefully my pictures of the current menu loaded.
Always quick and easy to get your food. Very good food! Only thing is you may want to check on Facebook if they're open because they are family run and sometimes have different hours. Amazing little gem of a restaurant!

The best
Cheak your order before you leave. Ordered 2 sets of shrimp egg rolls only received one so a one star for service. There is no dining in for dinner, no atmosphere rating. Food is ok. Ordered extra beef in my dish and did not notice an increase. The flavors are good, and the curries are all different.
I the food specially, peanut currying just wish she was open today
I’ve never ate inside the restaurant but the food is absolutely delicious and never had a bad experience!

Best Thai food around however, the business hours are inconsistent. Almost every time I try to go they are closed which is frustrating.
No offense to Caledonia, but it doesn't exactly scream "cultural epicenter". Imagine my surprise when I get some of the best beef pad thai I've ever had from a restaurant in Caledonia (even better than some I've eaten in Grand Rapids shhhhh)
Pad Thai is my favorite food so I have had a LOT of it. And Bangkok Chef is GOOOOOOD

Very good Mongolian Beef!
Don't think it will disapoint.
Can you actually get meal that isn’t fantastic? They nail it every time.
Small family run restaurant. First time ordering there the food was good we had Drunken noodles and panang curry. The curry was ordered with hot spice which was good but very spicy. The Drunken noodle was the best out of the two and I would go back for more curry but less spice. The second round we ordered Thai noodle soup and Tom Khá. The Thai noodle soup was too sour and watered down. The Tom khá had the contents listed in the menu but the owner seemed stingy on the vegetables and meat. The soup was very watered down and did not taste right. It was also too sour and not enough coconut milk was added to get the creamy soupy texture. It was overall disappointing on the second round. My wife had to recook the Tom khá to make it taste right.

Had the Thai sesame chicken, was very good, shrimp rolls were good also
Great small local Asian food restaurant. I typically go here 1-2 times a month and never have any issues. Prices are very reasonable.
Best Thai food around. Friendly staff and accommodating for certain dietary need
Great Kok
They never stick to their open close schedules. Very disappointed.
Always a great meal with great service. We order take out from here a lot and love it every time. Huge portions and all the workers we have met are so friendly! All the food is good but try the curry pad Thai, yum!
Best Thai in Michigan! Try the curry pad Thai. It is addictive though I have to warn you.
Good Thai food, best soup around.
Awesome food... watch out for the spicy!
Don't expect a fine dining room. DO expect excellent Thia food from friendly and effecient owners and staff. Have never been disappointed in many meals from here.

Inconsistent hours. Went on a Thursday at noon for lunch. Completely closed with no message
The food and owners are amazing!
Great Thai food spice level is high mild plus is pretty warm. My favorite Thai spot.

Best Thai food in GR PERIOD. Never had a bad meal EVER! Locally owned. Lots of pride and experience goes into every dish. Highly recommend!
Peanut curry is awesome
The food was great, however it took a few minutes longer than estimated and they aren't open sometimes during their business hours.
Amazing vegan options!
Never answers, but great food
Favorite place around to get Thai. Great food and the staff are always really friendly.
I've tried a few things here and everythings been good. And thankfully good sized lunch portions!
Best Veggie Curry with Tofu I have ever had! For $10 (including a tip) I'm very pleased, and full 🤤.
Literally the best seasme chicken ever. 😋
Have been a customer for about 6 years. Very, very good Thai food. We have never had a bad meal. Family owned and one of the gems we have found locally. I couldn't recommend them enough.
Bangkok Chef is of my favorite restaurants EVER!! I come here all the time. They always get my order right (I am one picky gal), and Sonya is the sweetest! Most importantly, the food is out of this world amazing!!
Awesome people, great service, and some of the best Thai I’ve had.
Ordered Crab Rangoon, Spring Roll and Druken Noodle Med. Heat. Hardly any filling in the rangoon and the oil they fry in should have been changed a long time ago. I like heat. The drunken noodle was so hot, me and my husband could not continue to eat it. The spice over ran the dish. Could not taste any other flavors.
The best peanut curry I've ever had! Lovely customer service and reasonably priced. Glad to have this gem in Caledonia!
They do not answer their phone when their online system is down. Horrible customer service.
Amazing curry and noodles. Best food in Caledonia by far
Love It
Best food in Caledonia. Their drunken noodles are perfect. Can't go wrong here because everything on their menu is delicious.

We were recommended by a friend and fell with this place! The BEST THAI food!!! Always fresh and hot! You will never be disappointed!! The small family restaurant is the BEST and they are awesome!
Best Thai food around and the owners are amazingly nice. Give them a try!
Had the chicken Pad Thai and chicken Lad Na. Great flavor and presentation! Loved the family feel and kindness! Give it a try!
I can't believe Caledonia has such a great Thai restaurant! The peanut curry is amazing!
Amazing food, amazing people. What more could you ask for? My favorite place to get a pad thai EVER. Curry Pad Thai there is to die for.
I come here every couple weeks and it’s my most favorite part of being alive. The curry pad Thai is my favorite 😭😭😭
Family run, friendly staff. Good food, not great but good. Only Thai restaurant in Caledonia.
My friends and I go here all the time! The food is really good and the staff is super nice every time we go! They accommodate our bigger groups on occasion and have lots of options for everyone! Amazing!
The food was burnt, cold, and had 3 long black hairs in it.
We tried Bangkok Chef for the first time a few weeks ago and will be coming back for sure! Just wished we tried it sooner. Thank you for making us smile 😊
Delicious sesame chicken and green curry chicken n vegs, rice noodles with chicken, sweet n sour vegs w chicken delicious!. Ordered for 4 people , we have enough for 2 more meals! Didn't try the duck or catfish yet, next time !
Great Thai food at a reasonable price. Prompt and friendly when I walked in to pickup my order.
Great place! Great food!
Great food!
Great food, great prices, great service
Excellent food, easy online ordering
True to spice levels. The food is seasoned very well and you can taste the flavor of the curry and get the heat.
Food is always fresh, flavorful, and fast. Staff is very friendly and pleasant. Love having this option in Caledonia.
Vary good food
Excellent food. Great friendly staff.
Love this place. The satay chicken is wonderful! They sell out quick so order early!
This is by far my favourite Thai place of all time, I've scoured all of west and south Michigan trying different places but no one can top them. I now live an hour away from them and still come by at least once a month for their food, it's truly divine.
delicious
Good food and friendly service!
Awesome as always!
Love the pad thai and shrimp rolls!
Food is good, if you can actually catch them when they're open. The hours posted are apparently more of a guideline. I'm currently sitting outside 30 minutes after they were supposed to open. This has happened several times before.
Excellent food!! You can tell they really care. We will be back!
Wow do I LOVE their food and the staff is always friendly 😁 would 10/10 recommend to anyone!!
Generous proportions with great prices and a wide variety of spice levels to chose from!
This is a great Thai restaurant with fast and prompt business and more food than you could ever eat. The waitstaff are polite, helpful, and had a perfect attentive service.
You can easily order one dish and feed 2 or 3. You definitely get your money worth the food in terms of quality and quantity.
every time I try to call and order for pick up the phone just rings. I have not been able to order a few times in the past couple of weeks.
the food quality is different depending on the days. They are not every consistent with their hours.
My only complaint is that 3 out of 4 times I've been there, they've been closed! once for a funeral, once for a family reunion, and once - no clue why. It was after they were supposed to open but the place was dark and no one would come to open up the door.
Amazing Thai food and very friendly staff. I’ve been here many times and will continue to come back!
Great place with great food. Only issue is they're often closed.
Best pad thai in the area
Best Thai food hands down! I love the curry pad thai; they do a great job with the spice level you describe. All around a great place!
The very best Thai restaurant in West Michigan. Seriously 😋.
Very good food.. great service.. I'll definitely go again!!
Great good and wonderful staff. Prices are good and portions are large.
Very good Thai food and friendly waitress. We'll be going back. Highly recommended!
Awesome food, the beef pad thai is delicious.
We love this Thai food! No need to travel to downtown with this great place. Order to your spice level. Yum!
Best Thai in West Michigan! The curry duck is amazing!
I'm so so happy with the food here. The quality is great. It's good to know I don't have to drive all the way downtown GR for great Thai food. Thanks for the great meal!
Food was decent, but the atmosphere left a lot to be desired. Went out for a date night and heard a baby fussing in the kitchen during our whole meal. We were trying to get a break from the kids. NOT a relaxing, quiet environment.
Great food! Although they are rarely open at 11, which is what the hours posted are for opening. Very disappointing making the drive for them not to be open at 11 when posted. 3 times we have got there at 11:15 and waited as the place was closed. Only to see them open later on our way back past around 11:40.
If you are constantly going to open late then change your hours of operation.
Things we have had and loved:
Tom Qha Gai soup
Crispy Rolls (app)
Fried rice
Curry Pad Thai
Peanut Curry Noodle
Thai Seasame Chicken
Masaman
You can't go wrong! Love the spice levels, even though I have not ventured past mild 😊 DELICIOUS!
Favorite thai place by far!
I ordered the Pad Thai to go and the portion size was great but it was incredibly salty. Way too overpowering. Literally tasted like salt noodles and I've had pad Thai other places.
Excellent food and always freindly staff
Best food and amazing owners so friendly. Try it you will love it here!
This place is great. A little irregular worth their hours
(Had take-out, so can't comment on the dining-in experience.)
I've been in the airline industry for eleven years now, and I've had some pretty interesting Thai food around the globe... the beef drunken noodles / pad ki mao in this little restaurant in little Cascade, MI is just amazing! What a pleasant and unexpected surprise.
Excellent...I am sure Mom is proud!
Great food, friendly staff, diverse menu with multiple spice levels available. Best Thai food around and the service is fast!
Have eaten here a half dozen times. Great thia food!
Really tasty food, I've ordered takeout here a bunch already. So happy to see a Thai restaurant in Caledonia!
