Overall the food was good. When I go to a new restaurant I compare to the previous or one I’m already using as a baseline. I will say this, once we got past the initial mistake with my order, it went relatively well. The food had great flavor, the ambiance was calming (I was the only one there other than staff) so I know it was the music…light and refreshing. I ordered the ginger dish - Best Ginger/Med spicy - with shrimp. It came out with chicken….but they quickly, and with no pushback, corrected the error. Medium wasn’t spicy at all, I had to add chili paste. The staff wasn’t overly worrisome - they barely came over - but that was ok, I didn’t need much. I would stop here again if I was hungry and in the area. As stated, I dined alone…except for the worrisome ‘nat’, which tried to keep me company while I ate!
Review update- once again, COMMUNICATION IS KEY! I entered the establishment with the impression I was purchasing lunch, it was Saturday lunch time according to the hours posted on the door which by the way, included Sat/Sun along with the other ‘days of the week’ hours (see photo) thus Leaving one to believe they served lunch during those hours on those (all seven) days. I even stated I wanted the ‘lunch ginger dish….’ when I had placed my order. And just like ‘shrimp’ got translated to ‘chicken’, I guess ‘lunch’ got translated to ‘dinner’ SMH…and my mind is changed and I haven’t even left the building…I won’t be back. I don’t like to feel like I was ‘bamboozed’ into a purchase cost!
The food was fantastic. We started off with appetizers, curry puffs, and moneybags. I sampled a couple of their imported beers. I had the chili paste pork fried rice. The food was excellent, milder spice than I expected but detracted nothing from the taste. The service was great. I don't know how I've missed this place for so long, but it's on the rotation now.
I was in the mood for soup and started searching for something close within 15 minutes or less from Chester. I reviewed the menu and the noodle soup with Tom Yum broth caught my eye. I arrived 20 minutes before they closed for lunch but they did not turn me away and say they were closing soon like many other businesses would.
The soup was a generous size and I didn’t get to eat it all but believe me, I tried. I especially like the broth as it was exactly what I needed for a cold. I had the edamame and green tea with my meal.
I was not rushed out of there but was told to take my time. The music was soothing and not too loud as I enjoyed my meal. I will visit again and try other entrees on the menu. I definitely recommend.
Very quiet hidden gem. I did takeout but found this restaurant cozy with friendly staff. It was my first time visiting and I ordered the Tom Kha soup, Curry puffs and rice. It was DELICIOUS! Definitely going back again.
Pleasantly surprised how delicious the food! I got red curry with chicken and a soda. Then a mango sticky rice to go.
The curry was super tasty with a generous portion. I had enough to take home for lunch tomorrow, they gave me extra rice to take home with my left overs as well. The mango sticky rice was great also, the mango was perfectly ripe and soft.
My bill ended up being $26. Which is absolutely reasonable for a fresh nutritious meal, a drink, and dessert.
If I am ever in the richmond area again I will absolutely come again!
Atmosphere was good, very clean and modern.
Our waitress was a bit short with us until another one came on shift and started taking better care of us, she seemed more pleasant then.
Food was not as good as you’d want, Especially for the price. My fried rice seemed overly oiled and without much flavor.
May or may not go back again to try a different dish.
Appetizers: crispy fried wantons, chicken satay, crispy spring rolls
Each of these comes with wonderful sauces. Try the peanut sauce with the satay!
Garlic favor is awesome! The garlic is tastefully part of the dish without being overpowering. We have ordered this dish several times. It is that good.
I have had the red and the yellow curries so far. The red was great, but the yellow was even better!
The service is leisurely, but satisfactory.
The prices are reasonable as well.
This restaurant is highly recommended.
Very good service..

Excellent food with great customer service.
We ordered the Red curry and curry fried rice. Both were excellent!! Would highly recommend
: )
New place. The food was delicious & filling.
I had tge pineapple rice Wish steamed brocoli was included
The food was not good, to ME at all. And I have been to LOTs of Thai restaurants. The Pad Thai had a funny smell to it. Idk I just couldn't eat it. But my taste buds are not your taste buds. Give it a try. I'd never say not eat there. I just didn't like it.

My favorite place. Excellent food and service.
The food is amazing. I have been to Thailand, and this is very authentic. Plus, the service is amazing.
Food was amazing, my family enjoyed our meal. Will definitely return.
Decent food. Good service.
I decided to try something new for lunch one day and stopped in. The waitress was very friendly and recommended a chicken dish for my first visit. I returned a week later and tried the crispy duck curry. Both meals were fantastic! I will definitely be coming back!

Best massaman curry I’ve ever had. Fantastic
Got the “amazing Thailand”. It was a very sweet tasting entree which I wasn’t prepared for considering it was a bunch of vegetables, rice and beef. The sweetness really hid the taste of meat which was disappointing and I felt like I was eating a dessert. On the plus side, the taste was good and it came out within 5 minutes of ordering and was SO hot.
Serving size was small and quality wasn’t there for the price you pay. I couldn’t tell if the ingredients were truly fresh or not.
Fantastic food in this hidden gem of Chester. I get the yellow curry every trip and have to get the red curry dumplings as well. Fantastic every time!
Service and management are trash.
My favorite place to get Thai
Always amazing service, fantastic food.
Small cozy restaurant alongside busy route 10. Clean place, fast and courteous service, food was great. Very pleased and will be back for sure.
Amazing fried rice!
Bubble tea and drunken noodles was good. The Bangkok yummm noodles were way too sweet despite asking for thai hot
Serving size too small. It's a bit expensive for authentic Thai food.
Love this place so much! The food is flavorful, fresh, and vibrant. From soups to entrees or dessert, it's all delicious. The staff is fantastic! They really are a great team who all help one another deliver great service. I'm super excited that they offer boba teas now.
Awesome food
Food taste really good! Everything I've tired from here taste amazing!
Got a drunken noodle and pad. Thai to go the atmosphere. Feels OK. Just everyone having clap casual dinner. Definitely cool that we have a Thai spot around here.
Good Thai food and the best I have had in the Richmond area. Great service also.
Excellent food. Service was more efficient than personable. Overall, it's a restaurant I would go back to when in the area.
Great little Thai restaurant. We order takeout all the time. The restaurant is fine too. It’s your average strip mall little restaurant with good Thai food!
The best tha food i have had by far....great fast service....not a real fancy place but the food is the best and its clean....red curry is my favorite.
Delicious Thai food and the people are very nice. This is now our new favorite Thai restaurant. It is now 2023 and we still enjoy their Thai food!
Rice noodles and crispy duck? Yeah.
All good food here and friendly service
Had chicken pad Thai and drunken noodles and fresh spring rolls - all tasty and fresh - will definitely return! We especially like their festive atmosphere for the holidays 🎄
The below remark was approx 6 months ago. The restaurant is very clean. Although what I ordered was very salty. The waitress was very accommodating and I received a less salty dish which was delicious. I will be back.
Fast forward to tonight. The restaurant is the same very clean. I got the broccoli and shrimp a simple dish and it was delicious. Our waiter Toey was amazing. I will be back.
i love tha pad thai and the pot srockers.
Quick and friendly service with a smile, the food was good and I would recommend it to my friends and family
I’m glad we made the 30 mins drive to try this location. The food was so good. Everyone cleaned their plate! Great portion size and with fair price. We will be coming back!
Nice and chill atmosphere will attentive but laid-back staff and affordable delicious options.

Bangkok Thai used to be delicious but they've really gone downhill in the last 3- 6 months. The food used to be full of flavor and the spice levels were fairly spot on. Now, for the second order in a row my red curry fried rice, thai hot, is bland and not spicy. This really makes me sad because I used to be obsessed.
Just left here. I didn’t find this to be a very warm or friendly place. The vibe here was just vacant.
The young lady brought the menu, but I knew what I wanted right away and so I ordered saving her the inconvenience of an additional trip.
The food was brought out, and I would have to say that it was tasty and warm. After that there was no follow up trips to my table. Inquiring if I needed anything or what else and as I ate, my glass became empty and never refilled until after I was done and when she showed I asked for more drink.
They also brought the check and it was delivered to the table with the person bent over and reaching at arms length to put it on the table…. not very friendly.
I am not angry about this, but I’m certainly glad there is more than this place to eat
I absolutely love this place! Our favorite Thai restaurant!!!!! The pot stickers in red curry & the curry fried rice are so good!
Very good service and food!
I’ve been going there about once a week for months now. Sooooo good!
Kinda bland which one might expect for the area. Some soups came out after others got their dishes. We were going to share the dishes hot. Never seen that before.
Love the red curry
I ordered the shrimp pad thai dish. The portion was ample. The dish was tasty except for the shrimp. They basically were just boiled shrimp and just mixed it. I think they should have been cooked in the sauce, as you can see there is no sauce on them. The noodles were very hot, and the shrimps were not. The atmosphere and decor were great.
Very good. Great service.
Small gem, tucked away off route 10. Delicious food. Wonderful service. Relaxing atmosphere.
Simple yet cozy place to eat.
Foods amazing
Let me just start off by saying I normally do not leave negative reviews of places. Where do I start let's start with the price of the food, it's expensive in the amount you pay for the items, ordered from 3rd party and had delivery for crispy spring rolls and Drunken noodles with extra seafood. Ended up paying $3 for seafood option then extra $5 for the extra total bill was almost $46. Now on to the quality of the food, ordered Thai spicy and the food wasn't spicy at all maybe mild at best, the noodles were overcooked and mushy, and the squid/calamari in the entree was like rubber. On top of that the veggies were also overcooked and the sauce at the bottom looked like it was straight water and grease. I am a huge fan of Thai food and this wasn't the best at all by any means. I have been to Thailand as well and this food isn't really all that authentic either, I would much rather go to the one that is closer to me in Hopewell and pay less for better quality, tried you guys based on all the positive reviews and gave multiple chances. Each dish I had wasn't a fan of any of them at all.
Rude people. Food was wrong. Over priced everything. Bad parking. Ended up with food poisoning.
Pot stickers were sooooo amazing. We wanted more! Service and food was amazing.
Got the stir fry duck it was great the spice was med just right duck was crispy making the overall experience A+ i will be back keep up the good work
First time eating here. Us adults have eaten Thai many times times but never the kids. We had Chicken Red Curry which was delicious and not too spicy. The kids had chicken satay and rice. And Bangkok chicken. They loved theirs and one child is very picky. We tasted all and everything was wonderful. The service was fantastic. We will definitely go back. This place is a hidden gem.
Loved our meal there today.
Delicious!
Food and service are really good. Highly recommended.
Bangkok Thai. Okay so I love Thai food, I love Asian food. So i was in the are for a month and my morns were very early and I didn’t meal prep for lunch most days and this is how i found this restaurant. The first time i was a sit down, i had pineapple basil rice with yellow curry. Not sure i can do a review cause i didn't take a picture so im sliding it on here. It was good, but not spicy enough for me 😩. Great service. They have a t.v. And if your seat is facing it you can watch them bake cakes and desserts, an absolute favorite, why? Because it matched the peaceful ambiance of the restaurant and who in the heck doesn’t want to see desserts getting made. Also, ALSO, this place is not loud at all, a great place to wind down. Okay here in the picture is Bangkok Chicken, i got it to go. I asked for hot oil sauce with it, absolute fail, it was like burnt pan bottoms, i am a hot oil sauce guru, its the closest i can get to sambal matah (if you don’t know what it is please google it, the absolute best) okay so the bangkok chicken was service with white rice, i drizzled sauce over my rice since it was on the side and not underneath the chicken. The rice was good texture, light in flavor, not sticky, Rice. The bangkok chicken was basically general tso chicken, 😩. I did not want that at all, but hey i ordered it. It was really good and super spicy!!! 5 stars for the spice. The chicken was a great texture and had great flavor. I think this lunch was $13.75 and i was stuffed.
Food was good. However service was not. The waitress was very short and seemed uninterested in actually helping or taking our order but she was pleased to help the white guests that were in here. She even took their order at their table while we had to go up to the counter and give her our order. When we received our food it was in to-go containers while the white customers were served on real plates with a smile. I’m not sure if that’s just her demeanor or if she’s racist either way it was unpleasant and rude. Food was good but definitely not worth returning for. 0/10 would not recommend.
I loved the Thai tea and the food was great!!
I was in the mood for soup and started searching for something close within 15 minutes or less from Chester. I reviewed the menu and the noodle soup with Tom Yum broth caught my eye.

I was not rushed out of there but was told to take my time. The music was soothing and not too loud as I enjoyed my meal. I will visit again and try other entrees on the menu. I definitely recommend.
Amazing food and service!
Cashew noodle, yum noodles, and the Thai chili fried rice is delicious!! Spring rolls also amazing! Best Thai in town!
The girl at desk was unfriendly and unwelcoming. Maybe she was having a bad day.
My first time to visit.
The yellow curry was watery, greasy, I requested no meat and substitute extra vegees. Disappointing. No extra vegees but same cost. I won’t return.
Best Thai in the area. Their food is so good. Their sauces are so delicious and they spice it so well. If you don't want spicy, they got you. If you like it spicy, they will deliver you to heaven.
Delicious food. Spicy level is low and they add Chilli paste on the side, so you can add as much as you'd like, I find it practical. Recommended.
Wonderful place to eat Service was excellent.
Excellent food, delicious and high quality flavor at a reasonable price. I want to have it everyday.
I had the fresh spring rolls and beef noodle soup and it was meh. The rolls were quite small and the beef broth was watery. Not the authentic Thai experience I expected. I wouldn’t recommend.
Chicken Pad Thai at least once a week great food
Love this place. The food is good and so is the service.
First time going here. The menu is a bit intimidating as it's different than any other place I have been. It looked like you had to order everything separate, like there wasn't a meat with 2 veggies plate. Confusing even after I asked the waitress. And the prices aren't beside each item other than the side items. I wanted Thai food, not confusion. I left without ordering and went to a Chinese restaurant down the street instead.
Food was good and would definitely eat the garlic favor dish again. I wish they would have asked for a spice level or had additional spice available as the food was not spicy at all.
Excellent Thai!! Surprising find in the middle of nowhere!
I continue to come back to this restaurant to try more menu items. I haven't been disappointed yet! I go over my lunch break at work and the employees are always friendly and efficient.
Great food, very affordable, and pickup was very fast. Had a great experience and highly recommend. Will certainly be coming back soon.
The restaurant looks much smaller than it actually is. It's very clean and has a calming, welcoming atmosphere. The staff was attentive and helpful, but the food was definitely the star of our visit. Delicious, fresh and hot. We will definitely be back again.
Update: I still really like this place but had to dock a star when I returned recently while visiting home. It may have just been an off day, but we ordered what we did before and both of our dishes were kind of meh. I don't know what changed, but I'm really hoping the next time we go, it will be as delicious as the first time we went.
Loved the relaxed atmosphere and the food was delicious. My boyfriend ordered some takeout curry from them before, but when we dined in today and ordered it again, he noted that he was given a lot more food dining in. Just something to note. Would recommend if you're looking for a great Thai place
Amazing! October 9th went with my significant other after a mini adventure and getting reacquainted with the area.. saw Bangkok Thai and was not disappointed!
Presentation and service, on point! The server was very attentive, and took care of us.
The sauces were all on point.. I loved the cucumber one. The curry bites (look like potstickers in the photos) were awesome, and I'm not big on mega heat.. so I didn't get to finish my yellow curry, but it was great. Forgot to take a picture of the curry dishes, but the ice cream with the banana spring roll was yummy!
After leaving I felt guilty because we were the last customers of the night, but I never felt rushed.
_____
Update!
Listen. I've been CRAVING those puffs. Went there today because the storm knocked out power, and I'm so in love. The sauces are still on point. Money bags are fantastic and are like mini pot pies but cutely wrapped!
I got quite a few apps this time, and so worth it.
Last time I did this, as seen above, I didn't like spicy. Listen, my boyfriend has tainted me, and I'm now in love with it. The yellow curry wasn't spicy after the Bangkok noodles dish (N7), but I really really enjoyed the soy garlic. It was pure heaven aromatic coming from the dish, and it didn't disappoint with flavor!
Seriously, I missed the curry puffs, I wanted them for so long and it was better than last time. Ugh that cucumber sauce is gonna be my happy place!

The Best Thai food around and their Thai Tea is AMAZING
Excellent customer service. GrubHub delivered a wrong order. I didn’t know how to rebook my order and Bangkok Staff actually went above and beyond and delivered my order. The food is very authentic and delicious. Will definitely keep on ordering, will pick up in the future.
We’ve ordered from this restaurant on several occasions and have never been let down. They are quick to get your pick up order ready and never an issue with food temp or quality. The food is great and the staff are really attentive and friendly! Good Thai cuisine!
Everyone is always welcoming and food is always on point. My favorite Thai place!
Good
One of my favorites
Huge variety and so very good!
The online ordering system is excellent. It was nice to be able to customize my order and have it all ready by the time I got there to pick it up. This was our first time trying Bangkok Thai and the food was great! I ordered my dish at the Thai Hot level and the spice had a nice, slow burn. Food was fresh, hot, and very tasty. We’ll be ordering here again.
The food is so good and the portion sizes are very generous. I also love the Thai tea!! A very nice and quick place for lunch!!
The waitress was kind the decor is basic. We order the crab rolls which didn't taste like crab so we asked what was used to make it and was informed that it was a mixture of crab amd chicken. It was obvious that it should just be called chicken rolls. They didn't have any flavor which was disappointing. I ordered a curry dish expected it to be spicy but instead it was sweet. And not sure what my husband ordered but it tasted like orange chicken and was to salty. Maybe our view is biased since we've been to Thailand but the food was average at best. Fried rice was food.
Wonderful food, great service. Enjoyed our first visit and will return.
Only place I will eat Thai, awesome yummy noodles and lettuce wraps!
Amazing thai tea and great food!
Good food and open during construction
Incredible Thai!
Very good food and wonderful servicd
