Best Thai food, love the servers and staff.

Diner Review №3

Ordered from here for the first time. Ordered a vegetarian dish for a vegetarian and there was chicken in the dish.

Food also did not sit well. Do not recommend.

Diner Review №4

When their sister restaurant, Thai Cafe, closed in Clifton a few years ago, I was informed that this restaurant was owned by the same family. Hate to have to travel so far for Thai, but it is certainly worth it. Everything I used to order is on their menu and the quality is identical. Excellent food.

I had high hopes for my visit to Bangkok Bistro, but unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. The server, Jake, displayed a concerning lack of enthusiasm and hospitality from the moment we were seated. His demeanor was noticeably sour, which set a disappointing tone for the evening. Throughout our meal, Jake seemed uninterested in serving us, showing both a lack of knowledge about the menu and reluctance to answer basic questions about the dishes. It was disheartening to see such a lack of passion and professionalism in a service role. Unfortunately, this experience significantly detracted from our dining experience, and I would hesitate to return or recommend this restaurant based on this visit.

The egg drop soup was tasteless, the chicken satay tasted / deep fried like a chicken nugget from McDonalds, & I found hair in my soup. I am writing this mid meal and I am not excited for my main course. Wish me luck.

Several years ago when we lived closer to the Hyde Park area, we were regulars here. We visited today after so long and found that the food tasted the same like it did back then. Loved the Singapore Street Noodles and Drunken Noodles. The sushi was not as great as their food is. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for Thai food in town

I absolutely loved this place. Yan was amazing she recommended good options. We started off with sake drink which was pretty smooth and nice. Then we tried sushi, spring rolls and the fried rice. Everything was amazing. Will definitely visit again. Had a wonderful night!

Diner Review №10

The food was delicious!

Diner Review №11

My favorite Pad Thai in Cincinnati!!!

Diner Review №12

Diner Review №13

Have been going to this place for years and totally got screwed on a takeout order tonight. We have 7 dinner orders and most of us got nothing but vegetables and noodles although we order chicken, shrimp, or beef. I had a Dynasty Sauce dish that had 3 small pieces of chicken and about 8 cashews in it. Felt totally ripped of after spending well over $120 for food tonight. Ugh!

Diner Review №14

We walked in here expecting nothing but the service, interior, and food were all incredible! The duck was seared perfectly and tom yum fried rice (first time trying since it's usually tom yum soup) was so good. The green chili curry with noodles was so creamy and went so well with salmon. If you want to eat healthy but also have a wholesome meal, I'd recommend this place! They also have a designated parking spot in the back! Parking in this area is difficult but this restaurant provides parking which will help me decide where I'd get my Thai crave! The waiter was so kind and gentle and even suggested the curry to us.

Diner Review №15

Very good restaurant

Diner Review №16

Love the food selection.
Sushi was awesome!!

Diner Review №17

Food was amazing, service spot on (thanks Fai), clean and welcoming.

Diner Review №18

Food tasted nice but the portion size was soooooooo disappointing. Both of us ordered curries and got maybe 2oz of meat each. Had to stop by the store after to get something to eat this late at night because I was still hungry. I hate being negative but for a $35 per person meal this is not acceptable, and I don’t think I’ll be returning.

Diner Review №19

We love Bangkok Bistro. They have the best pad thai in the city. I recommend either the crispy pad thai or the pad thai with duck. My kids and I get carry out every week.

Delicious food and great portions for the prize. Our waitress was super friendly and provided us with a fun evening dining out. Will absolutely come back!

Diner Review №24

One of my favorite red restaurants. Located near Hyde Park. This Thai restaurant has the best ladna noodles I have ever had with a spice of 1 to 10 a 4 is great without causing too much heat and they will also bring out some spices to add more if it is not spicy enough. On the other end the food is not at all spicy if you want it that way. The Pad Thai is also fantastic.
The servers are friendly and funny and very quick to help.

This is a well established family restaurant, the service is outstanding and the atmosphere is amazing. If you're ever thinking of a place to have a family/friend gathering Bangkok Bistro will be a great suggestion.

Diner Review №30

The very best crispy pad Thai.

Diner Review №31

I love it. The food is awesome and the service was wonderful as well. Had three apps; golden bags fried shrimp, and lettuce wraps. Each was delicious. The salmon Tai spicy vegetable entree was amazing. I will definitely be back.

Diner Review №32

Food came up quick and sever was helpful.
Menu is a little confusing in that it only lists a few thai dishes. Everything else is just listed as - pick a sauce and main ingredient.
Curry contatins fish sauce so not authentic thai style or veg compatible. I realize a lot of thai restaurants do this but not my thing. If you want your order spicy they will add chili sauce not powder. Got a 10/10 thai basil stir fry and it was kinda spicy. Equal to a 2/4 at my fav thai place. For the lunch price it was okay but tasted more like szechuan style w/ basil. My partner got the siam noodles 3/10 spicy and she said it was bland and not at all spicy.

Diner Review №33

Diner Review №34

This is hands down my favorite Thai restaurant in Cincinnati/NKY and I have probably tried most! Service is fast and servers are attentive. Food is delicious and priced right.

Diner Review №35

Need more Plant-Based Vegan options like eggplant entrees and baby bok choy udin noodles and coconut aminos by Bragg's for a soy sauce substitute for soy free options.
Pumfu by the foodie company would make a great soy free option for those who want to substitute for tofu

Diner Review №36

Great food and service

Diner Review №37

Diner Review №38

First time there. The service was great and the food was delicious and brought out pretty quickly. Only downside was that it was pretty dark inside, but that won’t stop me from going back again.

Diner Review №39

Always a treat to eat here.

Diner Review №40

We are vegetarians, so there were few options. Bistro Cashew, Pad Thai Noodles, Thai Spicy Mango Sauce is what we tried. The food was awesome, and the portions are huge for $15 each dish! We will visit again!!

Diner Review №41

Diner Review №42

Been a long time coming here. And it’s still good food as always.

Diner Review №43

Love to support small family business and the food is good.

Diner Review №44

The food was okay but definitely overpriced. It just wasn’t worth it for how much we payed. The pad thai was bland but the crab rangoons were good.

This place is great. I got the crispy duck and seaweed salad and it was outstanding. Perfect flavor and texture.. Definitely give it a try if you enjoy Thai food.

Diner Review №48

had vegetable fried rice and the rice was moist and the vegetables fresh. first time let's see if they hold up

Diner Review №49

The food was delicious, the service was great and the atmosphere so pleasant and relaxing. Loved it!

Diner Review №50

I used to really like this place but the quality has taken a dive. The shrimp in my drunken noodles were definitely not fresh (tails almost fully black) and my wife’s pad Thai had spoiled scallions on top. I think they just need to keep the stuff in their fridge fresher and replace ingredients more often!

My wife eats Drunken Noodles at asian restaurants all over the greater Cincinnati area. She said that Bangkok Bistro's were, far and away, the best she has ever tasted.

Diner Review №54

Diner Review №55

Real gem. I've driven by for many years and never dined there BUT I 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 be back!

Diner Review №56

Not the best Thai I've ever had, but the only Thai I've had in Cincinnati. It was good. 5 (of 10) was not very spicy in my opinion. I expected more spice. But flavors were nice. Probably won't go back unless I'm specifically asked to go there again just since I'm not a local in Cincinnati, just a frequent visitor.

Diner Review №57

While I didn't eat here, I waited over 25 minutes for a pick up.
I was then told they didn't have my order and I can reorder.
I showed them the online order!
It is chaotic here due to staffing issues. The 1 waitress and 1 bartender argued loudly the entire time. I suggest calling ahead and seeing what you're in for before dining here.

Diner Review №58

Menu has a huge variety. Everything we tried was very tasty!

Diner Review №59

Diner Review №60

Was on a 2 week, odd hour work assignment. Glad I found them, will go back! Their green curry was really delicious, and creamy! And the Tom Kha soup was also outstanding!!!

Diner Review №61

Had the Whatever and my friend had the Bistro Noodles. Both were tasty and the heat levels were good. The Whatever tasted like the inside of a lettuce wrap with rice and egg. Kyle was a entertaining server... Just tell him what you feeling like food wise and he will get you something good.

Diner Review №62

Definitely one of my favorite places I've found in Cincinnati. The Pad Thai is my favorite, and as an app, I highly recommend the crab rangoon. It's on the more expensive side, but it's always great quality, and you can usually get enough leftovers for a second meal.

Diner Review №63

Always get the Mango curry. A++++mazing!!!

Diner Review №64

Best thai spot in the city. Recommend the crab Rangoon and the bistro noodles. Both are fantastic.

Diner Review №65

I love this restaurant. They have amazing food with a choice of how much or how little spice you want your food to be!! It is literally the only place that serves tempura vegetables, which I highly recommend. I had pad tie and my husband is vegan and was easily accommodated as well. Everything is delicious! You should try it for sure!.

Diner Review №66

We came here for lunch and this was first time dining here. I ordered the Curry Chicken and it was delicious! I will certainly go back here.

Diner Review №67

Great food . Friendly servers . Hears guests when they request changes to the standard preparation.

Diner Review №68

Very good food and selection. We ordered no heat, had grandson and he too young for heat. Both dishes were fantastic and the crab Rangoon’s were delicious. Food was ready on time and was very fresh, not like some other takeout. Definitely going back!

Diner Review №69

Nice place for families and groups to have a delicious Thai meal. Nice cozy vibes.
Prices are a little on the higher side.

Diner Review №71

I had never visited Bangkok bistro, and I was excited to try it. When I got there the kitchen was 15 minutes from close, I understand that. The lady helping me name is, Shea… I quickly ordered and accidentally ordered the wrong wontons and I asked her 10 seconds later to change it and she said no and she was yelling that if I don’t get the one that I didn’t want as well then I couldn’t get the ones that I did wanted originally. She walked back to the kitchen screaming something and I was pushed out while she was an inch behind me and locked the door right as I exited. VERY rude, Acted as though it was a bother to explain to me some of the things on the menu, so I did my best and took a guess. After being told off I am now going home with the food. I hope it’s good or this review wouldn’t even deserve the two stars I did give.

Diner Review №72

Chicken pad Thai w/ beef (steak) and shrimp (tails cut off), level 8-10 heat AND an order of the veggie rolls + chicken rolls with EXTRA in-house sweet and sour sauce!!!! 😋 #PerfectDishForMe

Let's see... I'm 32. So that means Bangkok Bistro has done no wrong for the last, ehhh.... 19years!! I believe they were founded in Cincinnati in 1994, (I was 4 then). But what an amazing atmosphere with the staff and food to match!!! You HAVE to read this and think to yourself, "well damn... we need to go check this place out." Yes!!!! See for yourself. You can bring heat to your dish on levels between 0-10. They have an in-house bar. Parking can be a bit tricky but nothing too crazy. GET HERE!!! ENJOY!!!

Good environment, friendly staff and big food portion. However, the noodle dishes and soup taste just ok. They are very basic Thai food and the quality disappointed us.

Diner Review №84

I had the Pad Thai without the nuts on top with chicken and my husband had the Singapore noodles with shrimp and chicken! Very good especially as he doesn't like sweet dishes. It was even good mixed!

Diner Review №106

I’ve had a great experience with the usual female staff but a couple of weeks ago I tried placing an order over the phone and the man kept yelling at me and even cursed at me, claiming he couldn’t hear me. I was utterly surprised because they’re usually so kind. I’ve never ever had an experience like that and almost thought I was dreaming. It definitely turned me off from ordering from them.

Diner Review №107

Food was really good. But the waiter made fun of me for not knowing how to eat edamame, and tried to get me to eat out of his hand like a horse. It was like a stress nightmare.

Diner Review №121

Really enjoyed the crispy Pad Thai noodles here. The wait staff was very nice and the drink selection was good. Keep in mind a lot of menu items contain peanuts so be wary of you have an allergy. Recommended.

Diner Review №122

Great food, nice atmosphere. Chicken Thai Spicy is excellent. Sweet and sour chicken is not breaded and is my wife's favorite. Pick how spicy you like your food on a scale of 0-10.

AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE. If I could give negative stars, I absolutely would. This is the worst customer service I have ever encountered in my life. I went in to pick up my takeout order on 3/26/19 and as I was waiting for my order to be prepared, the man at the front desk (Kyle) struck up a conversation with me. He started this conversation with attempting to guess my age, telling me that I have dark circles under my eyes and that's what he was basing his guess off, etc. He was laughing and must have thought this was a funny conversation, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that you absolutely should not comment on a customer's age and appearance. But it gets worse. Since it was a takeout order and I was not dining in, I did not leave a tip. When I was handed my order, I said "thank you" and as I turned around to leave, Kyle said "You're welcome, not tipping!" I didn't turn around to address him because I was absolutely in shock that he said that to a customer. I called the next day and explained the situation to the manager. She told me that she receives complaints about Kyle all the time and that they keep him employed because they feel sorry for him and don't think he could get a job elsewhere. She told me that he is older, has an illness, doesn't have many friends, etc. She attempted to excuse his behavior with pity. I asked her if there was anything she could do to right the situation and she said no. I asked if I could speak to the owner and she told me that the owner would likely not call me. I asked her to take my name and number down anyways and ask the owner to contact me. Instead, later that day, I received a voicemail from Kyle's PERSONAL cell phone apologizing for "apparently offending" me. I called the manager back and told her that it was absolutely inappropriate to give the employee who made me uncomfortable my phone number and to allow him to call me from his personal cell phone. I again asked her to have the owner contact me and she again dismissed me and said that there is nothing they would do. This place disgusts me. They have absolutely no regard for customers.
