Tonight was our first visit & wow...WOW. We haven't enjoyed this quality of Thai cuisine since moving from the Charleston area in 2020. Truly incredible experience with each dish. The flavors were wonderful & each dish was very filling. Such a gem to have in the Central area & for surrounding communities to indulge in. We look forward to future visits in order to try additional dishes.

One of the best Thai restaurants I have ever been to! The owners are amazing! We were greeted immediately and well taken care of by “the lady” that owns it, she let us sample the Teas. By sample I mean she brought us a full cup! She also is pretty funny, super attentive, humble and working. Their English is not the best but neither is mine. The food was delicious! It was so authentic it may scare you off. So if you don’t know what real Thai food is then this place may be too much for you. They do have non spicy options as well as gluten free and Vegan. Everything was fresh and made to order. It’s a small place so seating is very limited, but just get it Togo! It’s a most stop and a great addition to the town. We definitely will go back.
This is the best food place in Clemson and some surrounding areas. Thai food lover or not, there are good options on the menu and the food is so good that it keeps you coming back. I love the couple that runs this place, and once I ran into their son and was asking for suggestions and he told me that no one cooks like mamas cooking. The place has such an amazing and homey vibe forever will be loyal to them. Also if you’re a pad Thai lover they have the best pad Thai, but what’s even better is the Esan Noodles. I was shocked how much I fell in love with it.
What a nice addition to the town! Their Thai tea was so good, one of the best I’ve had in the area and they say they’re going to get boba soon! They also let us sample the green tea and iced cocoa, both were great -I will be back for more😋 I got the pad thai and my husband got the uh… roast chicken over ramen? I forget the name. Both were so flavorful, nice savory notes of sesame and cilantro. Mine was a touch on the dry side but I did go at a weird time of day, and I’ll still order it again because ✨flavor✨Bonus points because the lady at the counter was so sweet💕
I’m a regular here and it’s still as delicious as the first time I went! The owners are so kind and truly appreciate every customer that comes in their restaurant. The Thai coffee is my favorite sweet treat and I’ve never had a meal I didn’t like.
What lovely owners and restaurant with DELICIOUS Larb . (Seriously the best I have ever had on the usa). My mother and I came out on their opening day, by chance, and walked intrigued about this new restaurant. We were warmly greeted by the kindest and most excited husband and Wife owners. We ordered quite a lot of food, but they (it was just the two of them for now) took it all in stride and offered us a free very tasty Thia Tea to drink while we waited. They were still in the middle of making their menu and putting up decorations when we cam, so I cant wait to come back to see it once it is all complete. Even though the Husband was getting acquainted with the new fangled register and the wife was cooking our many dishes, they still joked and chatted with us. It's a really lovely feeling in there with quite tasty food.
Why go there:
-You want fresh tasing food with lots of flavor.
-you want to eat authentic food. (It's less Americanized than many places i have been to- which is wonderful to my taste buds!)
-you like meat
-you are okay with the southern friendly manners and southern speed. It's just one adorable cook and her husband, dont expect to zip in and out. (At least not in their first couple of months of opening)
Who shouldn't go:
- you are in a rush
-you are a vegetarian (I'm not so this wasn't a issue for me)
-you dont want to try new flavors and foods.
-you get easily overheated, I would recommend getting take out then.:D
First time there and it was an interesting experience. Small place with a few mismatched tables and chairs. The food was delicious. I had Pad See Ew noodles with chicken. My friend had Chicken fried rice. Both dishes were very good, cooked to order with the spice level of your desire. Street food it is. Whatever you ordered is delivered on a small plate with no frills. Plenty of food but do not expect vegetables or a salad. I would go again to try a few of the other menu items. The owner, waitress was very nice and enjoyed making us feel welcome.

Always pleased with the service and quality of food!
This is one of my favorite hidden treasures in Central SC! Your trip to Clemson is not complete without a stop at this amazing restaurant. Always excellent service and even more excellent food. Thank you!

This is the ONLY place we eat Thai food. The food is always amazing and you can tell they use the freshest ingredients. The owners are so kind and have made an effort to get to know us and every-time we call for take out, she knows it is us without telling her. 100% recommend this place to anyone. You won’t be disappointed!
Great food ! Everything is so fresh not a bad dish on the menu. Service is great and the owner is so friendly and outgoing.

LOVE this place! This place was highly recommended since me and my friends were from out of state. The food and drink were delish (I got the see ew with roast pork and Thai tea) and the owner was so sweet! The atmosphere was great and if I were living here, I’d prob come a lot of times.
Best of the BEST fried rice!!!
If you like Thai food and want pickup/ to-go, there's no place better in the area than Bangkok Street. Fresh, hot, and hits the spot. The Thai hot spice is simply awesome - best we've found in the area.
I thoroughly enjoy this place's food. Every dish I've had from the Bangkok Spicy Noodles to the Tom Yum Soup has been spectacular. The lady working there with her husband is extremely kind and her husband is an incredible cook. The only downside to Bangkok Street Foods is their limited seating and capacity to make dishes due to limited staff; however, their takeout option eliminates this issue. I wish this place as much success as possible!
Food, portions, service was all great! Can't wait to eat here again! Can't recommend enough!
Owner is very sweet. Tipped her 40% and she gave me an extra tea, said I gave her too much money. She deserves it! Oh and the food was delicious!
Family owned. Support your local family owned businesses. Great food, caring and attentive staff(owners). Thank you for feeding us excellent food.
The food was great! Service was quick! Called it in, and it was ready when I got there 10 mins later.
Best Pad Thai I've ever had! Also tried the Khao Moo Dang, but I will dream of that Pad Thai. Owner was incredibly friendly. Will DEFINITELY be back!
Food was excellent and more importantly authentic! Sweet couple runs this restaurant! Must try. Will definitely visit again
DIVINE! The food is amazingly delicious and fresh. The atmosphere is cozy and homey. The service is perfection. So glad I stopped in for a solo lunch.
Best Thai food around! Great service!!!!
Outstanding food!
The pad thai is made with tamarind and palm sugar. I rarely order pad thai in the US because it is often not done authentically, but it is here and always delicious!
The nam tok is excellent and the new curries are very good. I'm looking forward to exploring more of the menu.
Owners are the nicest people and I always end up lingering to chat after picking up my order. We are very fortunate to have them in the area. Kop khun krap!
Food was great!
Great food and great people. Best Thai food in town. Edit: wanted to come back to add that the quality is still great and the new menu is very exciting!
Really good food. The owners are super nice as well. We try to go at least once a week....if it was more often than that I would be the size of a house. It'd be worth it though.
The food here is always excellent! The couple that operates the restaurant are very kind. The Pad Thai, Pad See Ew and Spicy Noodles are all super tasty options. You will love this place.
Always delicious. And always kind.
I come here almost once a week. The staff is friendly, food is tasty, and service is quick!
Best Thai food ever. You will never get food this good at this price anywhere else.
This place is a treasure. The owners are pleasant and service is quick. Bamee Moo Dang is my favorite dish here and a must try.
Ordered takeout, the food was still piping hot when I arrived home in Pendleton. Flavor was authentic, simply amazing and quality was excellent. I was delighted to stumble across this gem and would recommend to anyone in search of great Thai food in the area.
The food is amazing and the lady working there was very friendly. It smelled so good we forgot to even take a picture
Nicest people on earth! Most authentic Thai food I had in years! Truly a wonderful little place!
Owner of very nice. The pad Thai was delicious.
Finally, high quality Thai food in the upstate... SO glad we decided to try it out!
The food is always so good! The owners are so sweet!
The best Thai food I have ever tried! The service is amazing and everyone is so sweet! Such a homey and welcoming environment!!!
Some of the best Thai food I have ever had! Service is incredible, overall just amazing!
small staff but still really efficient with time. Got the bangkok spicy noodle and it was really good, the pad thai and pad see ew was really good as well.
A nice little place that has the best Thai food near Clemson. The hostess/waitress/owner is a very nice and friendly woman, and the food is always great. I had the W2 plate, and it was the perfect way to warm up on a cold, rainy day
The owners are very welcoming and kind, they take good care of their customers. I go there often with my friends for dinner/lunch and it always makes our day. The food is absolutely delicious & affordable, and the portions are generous too. Highly recommend the Chicken Pad Thai! 💯
I didn't know that they had Thai coffee until recently but it is SO good, as well as the Thai Tea. (Here's hoping that they add dairy-free milk option soon.🤞)
Nicest old lady runs the register. Thai coffee and tea are very good!
Best thai food I have had in years!! Absolutely amazing! The spicy Bangkok noodles are 5 star!
I love spicy food and theirs was fantastic. The tie tea everyone needs to try.
You ever eaten pad see eww that redefined your future expectations for all thai food, only to never be able to match it's sheer majesty again?
That's what's here. Food that redefines excellence.
As of my writing there are 30 other 5 star reviews, and I hate to break it to anyone expecting different, but I love this place! The food is authentic, high-quality, and generous in portion. The staff/owners are honest (spicy level), accommodating, and super friendly. I have brought friends here and they too are impressed. We are so fortunate to have this place in Central, so close to Seneca/Clemson. I am a no hot/spicy person and I have found the Pad Thai/Pad See Ew to be just what I expected. Also, definitely try the Thai Tea, it is creamy goodness. I like the regular, but the Green Tea one is also delicious!
Was my first time but I was impressed. Food was really good and service was personal.
Fantastic food, quick service. The lady who runs the place is very polite and friendly.
Visiting from out of town, I haven't had a decent pad Thai in years and this spot blew me away.
The owners are so nice and have treated me so well every time I’ve visited. The food is spectacular and the inside is so cozy and welcoming.
This food is to die for!! I got pad Thai and it was sooo good even my 4 year old loved it! My husband got the beef ramen and loved it!!
I'm so happy that we walked by this place and decided to stop in... instantly one of our favorite places to eat! The owner is legitimately one of the sweetest people and she cooks everything with love. Everything on the table was delicious from the tea to the food. She heard me sniffle a few times from the spicy noodle dish I was eating and came out to check on me with a fresh tea in hand. Please stop by and see her! Help make this place as successful as it should be. We need more people and places like her and Bangkok Street Food in this area!
First time here, and definitely won’t be the last! I got the Pad See Ew with pork. Absolutely amazing! The Thai coffee is also ridiculously good! Check this place out! You definitely won’t be disappointed!
Delicious food and great hospitality! This cute restaurant is owed by an elderly sweet couple that do all the cooking! You will not be disappointed!
The owner of the restaurant is so so sweet! She was so kind to me and my friend when we ordered, and she served us some AMAZING food and drink!! The atmosphere was so comforting and had really pretty pictures on the walls. The music made the restaurant have a classy ambiance to it as well. Will be going again!
What a gem! Wonderful owner, great helpful service, delicious food!
10 out of 10.
The Pad Thai is made with Tamarind and is some of the best in the area.
AMAZING FOOD and AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE. The owner is so kind and informative and even gave us free Thai tea because it was our first time. Food is so fresh and delicious. Highly recommend.
This is a great little place. Food is superb and atmosphere is great. You can not go wrong here!!!
Most amazing Thai home cooking! The owners are so nice and the food is just amazing. The pad Thai and the Thai tea are my all time favorite at this restaurant.
Delicious! Really nice people running a cozy restaurant 😊
I really don't care for Thai food, but my wife and daughter like it. I wasn't going to order anything at first, but I decided to get the Khao Ka Pao with chicken and spice level 2. It was absolutely delicious. My daughter ordered carry out online and I rode with her to pick it up. My daughter said they were super nice and they helped her bring it to the car. My wife, daughter, and myself self were completely satisfied beyond our expectations.
Great food but more importantly, genuine husband and wife team. Sweetest people in Central.
Amazing food, vegetarian/vegan options too
Great food great service, store owner was very kind :)
I don’t know how downtown Central does it but they seriously have the best food around and Bangkok Street Food does not disappoint! My husband and I ordered our usual Thai restaurant staples and were 100% satisfied with the food. Portions were perfect if not on the large side (it came in a reheatable to go container too which was smart), it was cooked to order and it was delicious. The staff and atmosphere were great as well. Will definitely be going back.
My husband and I tried four different dishes, and all were delicious. His favorite was the pad thai, and mine was the spicy pork soup (tom yum moo). Just the right amount of spice!
This place was delicious. First time here but I am excited to return, often and try everything they offer. Completely stuffed after trying the pad thai, which was amazing perfectly balanced with a touch of tamarind and generous protein portions.
The teas are also lovely and the owners are so kind.
I will be frequenting, you should too.
Wonderful little restaurant. The people that run it are absolutely fantastic and provide great service. The food has always been delicious and is well worth the very reasonable prices.
The only warning is the heat scale - it is no joke! If you are not used to spicy foods a 1 will already be plenty for you. The 2 and 3 levels are quite pleasant depending on the dish.
Four of us each with a different plate and everyone raved about their delicious food!
Nice size portions!
A great little atmosphere with the sweetest hostess!
Excellent food and atmosphere 10/10
Unique and authentic street food focused menu ran by wonderfully nice people. Definitely some of the best Thai I’ve had and I’ve tried a lot of Thai restaurants. Their milk drinks selection is especially good - everything’s brewed there and you can taste the difference
Have decided this is our new go to for Thai take out! The owners are very nice and obviously working hard. The food is delicious. My kids and I love the pad Thai. Last time I ordered I noted I wanted it not spicy and when I picked my order up she said, “we tried our best - call if it is too spicy!” I was very impressed at her dedication to being sure her customers are happy.
Super delicious and the best service!
Highly recommend this place if you want a good Thai dish! We tried the Pad Thai, Nam Tok, & Bamee Moo Dang and enjoyed them very much. We absolutely loved the owners who are both very sweet and generous! We will definitely be back!
FINALLY! The Thai food our area has been missing! We've had to go to Greenville anytime we had a craving, but no more!
First of all, this place is very small and cute. If the parking lot is full, you might not get a table. Tonight was Friday and there were no empty tables when we arrived at 7:30, but we were getting it to go, so that was no problem for us.
We ordered chicken pad Thai, pork city fried rice, and bamee moo dang to share between the two of us. I'm pretty sure my husband wanted to lick his plate after he finished. It was absolutely delicious! All three of them had SO MUCH flavor!
As many have already said, this is a husband and wife operation. She was running back to the kitchen in between orders to help him cook. If you are in a hurry and need to eat quickly, don't go during busy dining times. And if you do, don't you dare be rude to these precious people about it taking a while! The wait is WELL worth it!
Had a nice time at this restaurant. The people there are so nice and the food is very good.
Excellent dishes! I want to try everything on the menu. The wonderful owners are so kind. I asked for REALLY spicy and they actually made it spicy. Most other restraunts do not listen to that request. This is my favorite restaurant.
Really enjoyed lunch and will be back for more. Food was fantastic!
Note: as of this review, 2 Sept 2023, the door that faces directly out to Main Street does not work to go in -- you have to go around the building to the right and there's another door.
Writing this review on the behalf of myself (been to Thailand once only, cannot handle spicy) and my friend (did his master's degree in Thailand, will ask for Thai spicy). The sticky rice is wonderful, my friend loves it and says it's incredible. The pad Thai is definitely amazing, I would say it's better than the one that the place nearby has. You can get it with pork, chicken, or shrimp if you want meat on it, or none if you don't.
It's run entirely by two people and they are super nice. There's not a huge amount of seating, 2 tables with 4 chairs, 2 tables with 2 chairs, 1 table with 1 chair (tucked jn a corner), but you can get the food to-go. They bring it out if you're dine-in already in a to-go bowl and give you the lid, so at the end if you have leftovers it's easy to take them along. The portions are generous, I'd say!
There's free street parking outside and along the main road, a small free lot just to the side of the building (not the one with the laundromat + car wash, the other one), and there's a small free lot off Sherman (the one-way street partway along downtown). There are some wall outlets inside, if you want to do homework or something while you eat amazing food.
Lots of things on the menu are marked gluten-free, some are marked vegan -- I don't know anything about possible cross-contamination, so if you're sensitive to gluten or another allergen, you probably want to ask.
Overall, this place is fantastic and I hope they stay open for a good long time. I may have to make this a weekly treat.
One of the best Thai restaurants I have ever been to! The owners are amazing! We were greeted immediately and well taken care of by “the lady” that owns it, she let us sample the Teas.

Everything was fresh and made to order. It’s a small place so seating is very limited, but just get it Togo! It’s a most stop and a great addition to the town. We definitely will go back.
So flavorful! Everything was fresh and delicious. The matcha green tea is amazing and refreshing! I’ll be back soon! Maybe tomorrow 🙃
Update***
I went back and can say the pad see ew is amazing. Flavor bomb in my mouth. I ordered online and it was ready and waiting when I arrived. So good. Thai is my favorite cuisine and to have something this good so close to my home is a dream come true!
Food was delicious and service was great. The 2 owners seem to do everything themselves, and really keep it homey and inviting.
We ordered the Esan Nam Tok Beef Sticky Rice (*spicy* but good), Poke Tuna Ahi (delicious - my 2 year old sons favorite!), Pork Belly Ramen (broth was to die for!), and Thai tea. The owner also brought out a pink drink for my son, which was very kind and highly enjoyed.
Overall a good experience and will go back to try more.
Best Thai restaurant I've found anywhere! I got the pork Larb and it was just like my aunt used to make for me. My 7 year old little sister got the pork belly Ramen and it was amazing (she gave it 1000 stars). The sweet couple that own it are really nice and accommodating too!
Delicious food and great service! Definitely recommend the Bangkok fried rice! 🤍
Amazing food and service. I recommend the pad Thai (R1) with shrimp and the pink milk boba tea. Everything was great.
The food is delicious, The service is great. Definitely a place to try.
I went here on a date with my girlfriend. The couple working were absolutely amazing. Very pleasant to speak with and the service was great. The food was delicious. We will be coming back soon. 10/10 recommend
This place is AMAZING…Their food was probably the BEST IVE EVER HAD IN THE PAST 10 YEARS. I went there yesterday, and honestly..I thought it was going to be a whatever kind of place, like I’d go once, but hell no, I’m going again today. SHE GAVE OUT FREE PRODUCTS? SHE SERVED US WITH A VERY SWEET COFFEE, NO CHARGE, AND I GOT MY ORDER, WHICH WAS AMAZINGLY CHEAP FOR HOW GOOD IT WAS. I ORDERED MATCHA TEA, WHICH WAS ONLY 7 DOLLARS, IT WAS THE WORLDS BEST..MATCHA..TEA…EVER.. You’d normally think, oh, well matcha is extremely bitter, NO.. THIS WAS PURE HEAVEN. I also got the veggie ramen, this is served with a PERFECT amount, worlds most BEST RAMEN, I go to a ton of different boba places, Thai restaurants, THIS ONE IS THE BEST YET, owner is extremely sweet, SHE LITERALLY TOLD PEOPLE IF THEY DIDNT LIKE WHAT THEY GOT, SHE WOULD BE HAPPY TO GIVE A REFUND AND SOMETHING OFF OF THEIR MENU IN EXCHANGE, THAT IS CRAZY..GO GIVE MY GIRL SOME LOVE, OMW TO ORDER MORE FOODDDD
Really great food, pad Thai was so yummy!! Very nice couple, it is only the two of them so be aware when planning out your night. The nice lady who took our order made us different Thai teas on our way out and she was so sweet! Would definitelyyyy come back here!
The tea is amazing!! Everything was so fresh & cooked perfectly. The service was outstanding! Will definitely be back.
What a nice addition to the town! Their Thai tea was so good, one of the best I’ve had in the area and they say they’re going to get boba soon!

Mine was a touch on the dry side but I did go at a weird time of day, and I’ll still order it again because ✨flavor✨Bonus points because the lady at the counter was so sweet💕
Definitely best pad Thai in the area. It is different from what I have had before but that's what makes it good. I had to stop myself from eating it all so my mom could have a taste. The owners were also very friendly and my food came out pretty fast, like maybe 10 minutes.
Good authentic Thai. Very kind people.
