Convivial eatery doling out sizable plates of familiar Thai eats, rolled ice cream & a kids' menu.
First time trying this place and I was very pleased!! I got The Thai boat pho, my daughter got the seafood pho also got the curry chicken fried rice. That curry fried rice was so creamy with just enough spice for us!! The pho was so flavorful and mine had broccoli in it!! We both got fruit tea she had passion fruit and I had strawberry fruit tea with bursting fruit boba. Amazing!! This is a spot will come to again!!!
The ambiance is nice, large space with high ceiling. Noly was wonderful , she is a superwomen handling all the tables by herself 👏👍.
Curry duck is delicious , duck was nice with crispy skin, vegetables were fresh, coconut sauce was flavorful.
Crab rangoon was good, fresh.
We ordered stir fried veggies with chicken and brown sauce , it was a disaster, lot of sauce & salty. But our waiter replaced it with Red curry chicken, it was good.
Fried rice was also good.
ordered takeout and it was incredible. highly recommend the curry fried rice.

This restaurant is ruthless, giving me extra sauce for the price and also charging me 3 dollors for updating my order to add sauce. I will eat my food today, but tomorrow I will write this again.
This is the best Thai food in Michigan. Great food , awesome staff and priced right.
Absolutely love the vegan options they have!
I really love this place and order from there all the time. I will say though- the meatballs that come in the Pho are really gross. Super rubbery and chewy. The broth is great though.
Best Pad Thai and pho broth in town. Quick and quality service for take out. Very knowledgable and accommodating for allergens like gluten free
We ordered takeout via phone. I spoke with a very lovely young woman who payed close attention to our order. When we got home (far away) we found several of the entrees were wrong (chicken dish when we’re vegetarians). It was a Friday so busy and I understood. But when I called to report the error (not asking for anything) they accused me of ordering the food online. It became a twilight zone experience. This different woman insisted I used the internet to order when in fact I spoke live to a person (who was clearly in the restaurant based on the background - not a call center or cubicle farm). It was unacceptable that staff tried to reframe the reality of the situation (essentially accusing me of lying). All I wanted was an apology. So it has left me with a very disturbed feeling.
Pad Thai very watery and tofu overdone. Have had a lot of pad Thai and this was odd. Very friendly staff, nice building.
Terrible experience had family of 5 ask to move two tables together and was told no.
This is not how you treat customers
They lost $150 food order
Go to Poke Poke down the street much better service and the food is great
We love their yellow curry pad thai! Feel safe eating here for GF.
We ate in and had a horrible experience. Not one thing went well. Our daughter’s soup (Tom Yum- very salty!) came out first. When she was finished eating, my husband’s food came out. It was warm. My order came out once he was finished and it was the wrong meal.!! Our waitress never checked on us so we couldn’t make things right until we went up to the cashier and complained. My meal was brought out to me in a “to go” box!!! Also, one small pot of tea for 3 people is $9.00. Not ever going back.
Poor service, mediocre food, high cost, and wrong order!! Much should improve.
poor customer service skills.
mid. better thai at Angels a block away. and they are nicer.
the tom kha is so good! i suggest veggie & tofu. it comes with sooo many yummy fresh veggies &
they’re cooked perfectly. the green & red curries are amazing. i love the way they cook eggplant here 🥹
It's way too hot in the restaurant, sat at a booth with a stinky air freshener above it that gave me a headache. Staff not friendly and waitress never checked on us after we got our food. I asked for mild spice for the pad Thai i ordered and it was more like mild +++. Way too spicy. Disappointed and won't be back
Food is always excellent you go to go
This food is fantastic! I got the chicken curry pad thai medium spicy and the crunchy rolls. So good it has me hooked on noodles. Can't wait to eat here again!
Delivery was way faster than indicated on Doordash
Super tasty. Got Pad Thai and drunken noodle and crab Rangoon’s. They were all delicious. I highly recommend it all.
The drunken noodles and curry pad thai were delicious. They definitely know how to make these dishes right. The kids loved the fried rice. My son who is a picky eater said he wants to go back to order the fried rice again and that says alot to me. It's always difficult finding food he likes.
Every dish I have ordered from this place has been delicious, but the peanut curry pad thai is quite literally the best dish I have ever tasted in my entire life. It heals my most deepest sorrows and makes life worth living again.
Food was very disappointing. Shrimp tastes like it had been rinsed in bleach and the chicken was dry like it had been repurposed. There was very little protein in any of the dishes.
Love this place! Chicken Curry Pad Thai is world class!
After years of ordering the same dish, I was told I can't have that anymore. Apparently they can no longer add double protein or a combo of any of them. Sucks because the food here was solid, but I'll find another place I can order it how I want it
Update- they also gave me the wrong food. What happened to this place?
Really good green curry with tofu
I live an hour away from Grand Rapids, any time I am in this city, I stop off here. The food is delicious, and the service is pleasant. Definitely recommend this place if you like Thai food or never tried it.
Nice enough for a date, casual enough for a great drop in meal.
Coming from all corners of the U.S, this is in my top 3 for best Thai food.
*Thai wings are really good.
*Thai Tea is overpriced.
*Men's bathroom has a changing table!
We love coming here now. Something happened in the past few years where they went from being just like every other big Thai place to being the best! New curry recipe with amazing potatoes, better noodles and sauces. The list goes on. The other day I spoke with the owner - ownership changed hands a few years ago. I wasn't just hallucinating! Check it out
I could eat this every day. Fried Rice For Life.
Update years later: still a favorite
My favorite thai place for their peanut curry noodles. Good portions for good prices.
Awful.
Excited to try this restaurant. Look at that photo, it says it all. THAT'S their Chicken Sate. It was a chicken tender with a little batter on it. Zero spices and not marinated at All. Not grilled..... nothing. And the "peanut sauce " was just as bad. Not flavor but a slight peanut flavor. It was literally nothing more than peanut butter and water. More like bland Peanut broth.
That's a Thai Restaurant/Cusine staple. Didn't want to risk spending another penny on trying an Entrée. Soooooo, basically 18$ (2.50$ tip included) for a pot of tea and again Awful.
And checked 3 table tops ,all three were dirty and sticky.
I’ve always loved this place. It’s my solo date night spot and has been since i moved downtown a few years ago. The ladies who work here are so kind and the food is delicious. Definitely try this place out if you haven’t been yet and tip your servers very well because they deserve it!!
Always a banger. Our go-to choice for Thai in GR.
I visited this place for a luncheon with one of my friends when it opened. This restaurant offers fantastic food and a very inviting atmosphere. I will always recommend this place to people visiting GR
Food was amazing, got the vegetable curry with chicken phenomenal
My girlfriend and I were extremely surprised about Bangkok Taste Cuisine. The food was truly the best Thai food in MI, the service was exceptional, and the prices are by far the best in GR. ~$11 per meal
Delicious food!
Food was good--didn't dine but carry out was fast enough and the people are always genuinely nice and accommodating.
Worst expirence of my life the food was cold the noodles were clumped together and I have to eat them like a burger. Would not recommend.
The food was satisfactory. I liked their Thai soup. The amount of food was good.
Lots of fake reviews and I'm giving a real one. Don't eat here
The peanut curry is some of the best I’ve ever had. So much flavor!
Truly the best Thai in Grand Rapids. If you’re looking for a light colored pad Thai sauce that actually tastes like pad Thai and not dark red ketchup sauce, this is IT. Closest I’ve come to Thai food from Thailand itself. And the prices are unbeatable. We order almost weekly.
I have done dine in and takeout. When I say this place and staff is amazing they are, they already know when I walk I what my order is. Love them. Food is absolutely amazing.
Awesome service by everyone and so affordable for the amount of food I received. Amazing Thai Cofee. Definitely would recommend if you are in downtown. Great vibes inside restaurant as well
This is the place for Thai takeout, full stop.
Great quality plates at unbeatable prices. I’m not sure why people go to Rák Thai getting the same noodle entrées there for $3-5 more. Noodle dishes come out piping hot as they should. The peanut curry Pad Thai always hits the spot. The drunken noodle with beef is a great, flavorful choice too
Pro tip: be prepared to wait for it. Ordering via delivery apps like UberEats generally gives an accurate time estimate. Grubhub charges $1 extra for each entry, so look out.
All in all fantastic: 10/10
Always great food. Service can be good or exceptional. Love it.
Tried this place because my normal place was closed. Was not disappointed, it was absolutely delicious. I got pad see-ew with pork and crab cheese. Both on point 😎🤙🇹🇭
Great food
Best Thai food in Grand Rapids!!
The best Thai food in town hands down! Everything is tasty and the portions are generous. They’re pretty quick too.
I ordered food today and the containers wers a little over half full. The food was greasy and not fit to eat. I callled on the issue and the manager did not give me a response.
Curry pad Thai is amazing! Favorite place in our new city :)
We drove an hour to try this restaurant!! And were pleasantly pleased!!! Good job!
Crab cheese all day!!
Chicken Satay and Pad Thai are always on point.
Food was solid.
Messed up our order and refused to remake it because it was 35 minutes to close so they “didn’t have time”. No thanks.
Food is always good. Love the Peanut Curry Pad Thai.
All of my items (pad Thai, crab rangoon, boba tea) were a bit sweet for my tastes, but were otherwise excellent. There was plenty of meat in the pad Thai and the serving size was generous.
Love this place!! It’s my go to for great food and boba😁
Their dine in was closed because they were “too busy” the rude cashier told me. So I ordered to go she said it was at least 25mins for pho. Food was fair packaged poorly no way to eat it. Very very bad
I used to love this place, however in the past year it’s slowly declining. I don’t know if there’s a new cook. But food is mediocre. No chopsticks/forks, napkins or soy sauce are provided anymore. I ordered spring rolls and nothing but rice noodles, no veggies. Maybe dine in has better luck than carry out.
I tried the duck for the first time and it was delicious. Would have preferred it to be boneless though. Peanut curry rice with chicken is good (and boneless). Music a tad loud. Fast, friendly service.
One of the best places I've found so far. Way better than Real Thia Cuisine on Alpine. Their Pad Thai is completely different.
I love this place! Wonderful food and great customer service. They always go out of their way to make sure everything is prepared just as you request. Food is always fresh and great quality!! My favorite in GR
Great food! Be careful. Medium is already very hot!
Atmosphere nice, reasonably quick service. I wasn’t impressed with the cuts of beef in one dish but was impressed with the red coconut curry- nice lemongrass flavor. However, they really skimped on the quantity of scallop in that dish, and everything tasted like they were too heavy on the sugar.
I was in Chinese restaurant and they gave me red chicken for some money., pretty good deal
Food was delicious.
We LOVE this place!! Happened upon it on an outing to GR. Now we drive nearly an hour to get here when we want comfort food. Bangkok never disappoints.
You can tell the owners love what they do as soon as you walk inside the restaurant. The decors and friendly staff, makes you come back for more. Obviously the good is superb.
This is another one of those "it's good for Grand Rapids" places. If there's anything Grand Rapids is known for, it isn't its food. This place is above average for this town and it's affordable. It isn't the best Thai in the world but I'd eat here again.
I didn’t understand how this place has the title of best Thai in GR for what, 6 years?
I ordered the duck phó and it was not good. The duck was tasty but you don’t bread a meat then stick it in a broth to soak it all up. They were also out of bean sprouts and used Roman noodles instead of transitional pho noodles.
The hoisen sauce wasn’t open too. Felt weird as a customer to open it.
Wasn’t worth it. 👎🏼
Solid Thai food. Best that restaurant in west Michigan
The staff was friendly, food was fresh and quick!
Outstanding authentic Thai food. Best in town!
We ordered delivery here for first time.. Bangkok fried rice is awesome.. Thai noodles is good and mango sticky rice is tasty..
Delicious food, fast service. Love the crispy rolls to start with. Any of the curry dishes are great entrees. Easily a top 10 restaurant in Grand Rapids.
Ive been going here for many years and I am so SAD that the food just isn’t the same! Ever since it was sold to a new owner the recipes are not up to par. The service is fine, BUT the food is NOT good. So disappointing. The original owners went back to Thailand every year. Their recipes were so flavorful! I’ve given up completely on this stop.
Great food and service. The building is run down, the tables and chairs are heavily worn, and the restroom is frequently out of order.
So good yummy food
Chicken fried rice exactly 2 pieces of meat ...what happened to all these restaurants after covid nothing is good anymore
Food was amazing! Our server was hilarious..LOL We really liked that we could add vegetables however we’d like to add on our curries & pad Thais!
My husband got mild-hot (spicy level 4) and I got hot (spicy level 5).
IT WAS SPICY!!😳🔥🥵 Of course it was still “delicious hot” however We wouldn’t do that again🤣🤣 We love spicy food in general but it was very SPICY! I think we could do “mild” next time.
We enjoyed our curries & ordered some Pad Thais for to go for family. It was first time trying Thai food for them & they loved the Curry Pad Thai.
Thai tea was perfectly mixed with sweetness as well! I usually have hard time with Thai tea at Thai restaurants because they’re too sweet for me usually but it was not too sweet @Bangkok Taste Cuisine! :)
Thank you for the great service & delicious food! We’re gonna be regular now😆🙌🏼
I have eaten at many Thai restaurants in many different states. This restaurant is hands down the best Thai I've ever eaten! The portions are large and delicious and very reasonably priced. The pad Thai, bangkok duck, pineapple fried rice, and the Thai tea are PHENOMENAL! I am truly blown away. The staff are extremely friendly and polite and the restaurant has such a nice atmosphere! Will be coming back soon
Fresh ingredients, tasty dishes, friendly service, and really decent prices! Just be aware that the 4 fresh spring rolls are actually 2 cut in half lol
Great curry, great prices
Local favorite, I love this location and the one in Jenison. Peanut Curry, Green Curry, and the fresh rolls are all regular standbys for me. Their soups are also winners.
Literally the best pad Thai in Grand Rapids. Whenever I’m wanting to treat myself to a good meal BTC is always the place I choose. Great portions for the price and the staff is so kind!!
Been here a lot lately. Great food.
Got the Pad Thai, Garlic Chicken and Spring Rolls. All were great in flavor and quality. Definitely will get again.
Very yummy! Amazing customer service. Vegan/vegetarian and gluten free options. So flavorful.
Fresh ingredients, solid flavor, but neglected to label dishes or include utensils of any kind so a group of 7 was left to guess which fried rice and heat level was which by sniffing dishes and passing them around. Not to mention that the 4pc "fresh roll" or summer roll is actually 2pc cut into half- taking two chicken breasts, cutting them in half, and selling them as 4 chicken breasts would constitute false advertisement. Overall not entirely displeased with the food, but there are a few glaring problems with this particular order.
Best Thai food in GR
I DoorDash and I come to this restaurant often for orders. I’d never eaten here prior to today and I would highly recommend it! I had pad Thai chicken curry (mild) I could’ve had medium but I didn’t want too hot. The lunch portion didn’t leave me hungry! I had enough leftovers which was great for the next day! I can see why I come here often for orders. Check it out! I do t think you’ll be disappointed!
I ordered on Grubhub today and as always the food was delicious…then I eat a piece of my beef on my pad prik and feel a piece of wire in my mouth…I have been buying from this restaurant for over a year and I’m so disappointed in this because for the most part their food is great 🤦🏻♀️ This IS NOT OK BANGKOK THIS IS A HUGE MISTAKE. I could have choked and this would of been a much bigger problem!
Get it together!! Geez. I mean your food is good but this is the second time I’ve received the wrong food item. It’s really not that hard.
One of my go toys. You can taste the LOVE they put into the food. I've never had something that wasn't great qquality. Ordered the Curry Pad Thai and Sesame Chicken. Both were 🙌
holy grail of vegan thai food. 100% best thai in the greater GR area. fully addicted to the peanut curry noodle dish with tofu, minus carrots. always made correctly. always fresh and flavorful. they have vegan pho and tons of other veganizable items. cannot recommend enough. 12/10.
Polite, good service, good prices, and best drunken noodles in town. Go for it!
Just had the potato curry. Best in the city
Pad Thai Extra Spicy is yummy and spicy but the crab rangoon tasted old and had no crunch to it
Great place to eat! Lovely and fresh food!! Definitely recommend this place!
The ambiance is nice, large space with high ceiling. Noly was wonderful , she is a superwomen handling all the tables by herself 👏👍.
Curry duck is delicious , duck was nice with crispy skin, vegetables were fresh, coconut sauce was flavorful.
Crab rangoon was good, fresh.
We ordered stir fried veggies with chicken and brown sauce , it was a disaster, lot of sauce & salty. But our waiter replaced it with Red curry chicken, it was good.
Fried rice was also good.
Ordered via Grubhub. Spring roll was good, small but good. Drunken noodle was very dry, like no liquid at all, and had two sprigs of Thai basil.
Wonderful place to eat
I've gone to Bangkok Taste Cuisine several times and they never fail to satisfy me. I'm a huge fan of their curry fried rice and their potato curry.
I've been getting food from here for years, both dine in and takeout. It's tasty, reasonably priced, and I like the variety of dishes.
Best pad Thai curry in town!!!fast service and generous portions,be sure to ask for extra sauce though they do sometimes skimp on the sauce with takeout.
Finally got around to trying this place and it was delicious! Authentic flavors, timely service and the spice levels were on point! Definitely coming back!
One of my absolute favorite restaurants!! I cannot eat gluten or dairy, but this place is wonderful with allergies and has lots of options. Only reason for the four stars instead five is because sometimes the food is not as good as it usually is, but that’s usually only when they’re super busy. (Plus I’ve only ever had take out, so could potentially be the delivery drivers fault)
Slammin' place to get Thai Food! If you're in Grand Rapids, this is the place to go! I get the pad see ew delivered and my taste buds are always so grateful. If you're vegan like me you can totally ask them to make it with soy sauce instead of oyster sauce, and serve it up with veggies instead of meat or poultry, hold the eggs. Many of the other dishes can be made vegan as well. Everything I've tried here has been delicious.
Worst thai food ever. I ordered delivery from this restaurant and ordered the potato curry. First off there was no curry sauce. It was almost dry. Most curry I order especially from a thai restaurant has plenty of sauce but there was none. Also, the rice was wayyyy undercooked. And almost hard. I also asked for utensils and napkins and there were none in the bag. Do not recommend this place at all. And when I try to call they pick up the phone and just hang up.
Best Thai food in the Grand Rapids area!
Smallest portions of protein I have ever gotten. 2 ounces of meat maximum.
I've ordered twice so far. The food has been consistently delicious. I ordered peanut noodles with veggies and extra shrimps, so amazing. I definitely recommend trying this place! Enjoy
We live downtown and have been looking for a really good and unique place for Asian cuisine.
There are many pretty good places, but there is a sameness to what you get. Good, but not exciting.
Tried BTC just to keep searching. And it is amazing.
Im a springroll person. Been searching for a great springroll forever in GR. BTC has so many options. Tried them all. If you aren't familiar with fresh rolls, try them!! All are great.
So far, we've tried a handfull of different dishes and they are all delicious. We will keep exploring their menu. Every chance we get!!
Its not like any other place we've visited in the last few years in the downtown area....
Just the worst. I tried here 5 years ago and was greatly disappointed. Tried it again tonight and it was beyond bad. The noodles were stuck together like glue and bland, approximately 3 overcooked pieces of chicken and way too much lime juice. Immediate stomach ache and grossed out.
I love this place so much. Spicy curry noodles is the only thing that can cure my depression. So friendly and nice and accommodating
I eat here every week because their food is AWESOME! If you are vegan they can make a ton of delicious food for you too
Great food and service.
If you are looking for the best Thai food in Grand rapids, this is the place! Get the Thai tea.. you won't regret it!
Ordered carry out twice now, and both times, i got a solid block of rice noodles stuck together so badly they simply can not be separated. But wait, at least you get 2 tsp of delicious sauce at the bottom. Leaving 2 stars, because they used to be my favorite thai place in town. That's worth a bonus star.
I’ve given this place a few tries. The house rice is ok. But tonight I ordered pad se-ew. One order with “chicken” & the other with shrimp. It was so pathetic. The noodles were stuck together.The pictures are two different dishes! And the crab cheese was so stale. Never again!
My favorite Thai place! I used to go to the Jenison location but I am so glad they opened a downtown place since I live closer to downtown.
Since covid I order takeout but the food is always delicious. The only bad thing is its hard to find parking here, and the phone lines are super busy sometimes.
