Bangkok Kitchen

Bangkok Kitchen has an unprofessional staff that doesn’t know how to run a restaurant on a busy night. We couldn’t even get seated when there were open tables and we were the only people waiting in the place. The tables were eventually given to a party of three people who came in well after us. These three didn’t have the decency to acknowledge that fact and the staff didn’t make it right when confronted. They didn’t have reservations. I will never patronize Bangkok Kitchen again. Shame on both of you!

I have been coming here religiously for years now. I have brought everyone of my friends and family. Everyone always is pleased. The atmosphere is relaxed and intimate. Ambient music, tea lights burning on each table (someone made these tables with love). You get this wonderful blend of trendy and deep family rooted restaurant. Be sure to take notice of the family photos. Staff has been the same warm welcoming faces since I first visited. I love that the menu is fa-neh-tick. BYO, but being a snob, I bring my own wine glasses. Theirs are the very small wine glasses. If you forgot your bottle there is a liquor store (Wine Village) a few doors down that will deliver! The food here is consistently excellent. I’m always anxious to try the new specials. Be sure to let your server know if you like it spicy! The chefs here will customize. This is a local favorite worth adding to your regular haunts.

Disappointing place. Dark, dirty, noisy, and at the time that we visited hosting a table of drunks, probably from a nearby bar. The food was bland, and not particularly good. I expected some spice and flavor! We have eaten at other Thai restaurants in the area (Montclair), and recognized in this place’s offerings.

Chicken, simply grilled. Dessert was purple …glop. We opted not to stay.
