Bangkok City Thai Restaurant - I'm bummed because I was excited to try a new place for Thai Chicken Fried Rice Not what I was hoping for - Thai Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

We decided to get some Thai food but we wanted a place with alcohol . So we found this one that had Thai beer :) When I called to make a reservation the person on the phone wasn't very pleasant so I wasn't expecting much , but when we got there the Hostess / waitress was really friendly and helpful . I asked if I could sit outside but there was a possibility of rain so she said no problem and opened the cover for me . The food was really good , could have been served a little warmer but it was good And we got served right the way . I'd like to go back and try some other things on the menu . read more

We arrived about an hour before closing. The place was decent size, about 6 tables worth of space and the lighting was pretty dim. Restrooms were located downstairs. Ordered two Thai Iced Teas and chicken satay for starters. The drinks were okay - very sweet, not creamy, and couldn't taste the tea. The chicken satay was good and generous in portion size. The chicken was not dry and it was easy to chew. The peanut sauce had a small note of ginger. The Pic-Keeng (beef with chili paste & string beans) was extremely subpar. Although the dish itself was very flavorful and had a tolerable spice, the beef was overcooked; hard to chew; and the string beans were undercooked. The Ga-Ree curry was bland and lacked notes of spice or sweetness. read more

The staff member was very quick to sit us down and take our order. It is a pretty averages thai restaurant. Not the best I've had but not the worst either. There's plenty of room to sit and it is at a very busy area but we came around 1pm on a Saturday and it was empty. read more

Friendly service. I tried their chive dumplings, they were yummy but too greasy. Unfortunately they don't have vegetarian meat/duck options like many other Thai restaurant do. read more

14 years ago, my husband and I considered this place "our place." Lots of fond memories of us and our son, a toddler at the time. So when we came to visit yesterday, with our son, now 18 years old, we just had to come and reminisce. When we got there I did not recognize any of the workers. I suspect new owners perhaps? An older woman sat us down. I asked if they had Summer rolls as that is the only Thai thing my 6 yr old will eat. "No, that's Vietnamese." I say, "Ok, do you serve mint with your Spring rolls? "No, thats Vietnames, we dont serve mint here." Funny, I'm a Thai food fanatic and never experienced anyone telling me that, but okay whatever. Fast forward 20 minutes, woman comes out again and said, "Sorry, we don't have spring rolls yet, do you want dumplings or empanada?" I was about to snap back and say, "Dumplings is Chinese and empanadas are certainly NOT Thai!" But I digress. Don't want any funny stuff to happen to my food before it comes out. The food took soooo long to come, it was quite irritating. When the pad thai came, it was delish. They then brought us our platter crab fried rice. It was huge! Then we were brought another platter! Then 2 more! We refused the last two! She told us we ordered 4. We ordered 4 regular rice. As a server at a restaurant, wouldnt you question 4 big ass platters of fried rice in addition to all the other food we got? If it's a little odd, ask us to make sure. Thankfully they didnt give us a lot of trouble with that, but come on now. We ended up getting the Thai dumplings and empanadas (Lol), because we were so hungry we just wanted food!! It was surprisingly good! Im sadden at the service here, especially after boosting about it for 14 years. Things change, I get it. Ill leave my nostalgic memories as my memories. I do want to say though that the food was as tasty as I remembered. The younger lady who served us later was so much nicer and she should be the one out there taking the orders. read more

Pad Thai so bad that I've lost my appetite. I feel physically sick and I've gagged twice since typing this. Somehow they have good reviews on DoorDash and I ordered the Shrimp Pad Thai. Im asking for a full refund as I'm writing this. It's clear they don't care at all about good quality. read more

Horrible! The Green curry was disgusting just water and some chilli paste. Hope I don't fall I'll.

I've been a regular patron of Bangkok City for all of the 25 years I've lived in Hoboken. In addition to enjoying reliably good food and service, it's been a joy to watch some of the staff literally grow up. Sisi, the hands-on owner, has always been gracious and charming, be it for one table, or an entire restaurant of Asian bus tourists; who stop there pre-arranged for a treat "from home" while on an American vacation. My late husband and I dined at BC at least once a week, and became close to the staff members, who are all relatives or dear friends of Sisi's. Mistakes and disagreements can happen in any business (I'm airline, so I know ALL too well), but I'm baffled by the horrible reviews on this site. I'm guessing these are half-baked reviews. I've brought SO many friends and acquaintances to BC, and they are now all regulars too. In addition to great, homemade food, excellent service, and a comfortable ambience, I'd say the star of this place is the ever affable server, a niece of the owner is the star of the show! Gee is beautiful, bright, kind, full of humor and truly loves her family's five establishment. read more

Ordered delivery from here and although the food came in a timely manner the food wasn't anything special. The drunken noodles had a good kick but the chicken was dry and the noodles werent chewy and soft like you would expect from this type of noodle. The wings were oily but had good flavor. Due to the oily texture the wings werent as crunchy as they should be. The sauce that came with them complimented them well. Not the best chicken wing you wil have but not terrible. The best thing we tried were the spring rolls which were well made. read more

Lets start with the best attribute of this place. The young female server was very nice and helpfully. There was an older lady who kept yelling - I think she owned the place. There are better places to go to in Hoboken. The food is average at best. The Pad Thai is fine Curry is fine Some non-Thai dishes - all Good: Dumplings are Chinese food The empanadas are Mexican food There was a rice ball - I think that is from Central America So if your friends don't like Thai food, this is the place you should go to. read more

I've come to Bangkok City for takeout lunch twice. The first time was a few months ago. They had a lunch menu, & I asked for an order of chicken pad thai. It was slightly oily, a reddish-orange color, but still a decent meal. The chicken was good & there were a good amount of peanuts included. I went back yesterday for takeout lunch, at the suggestion of one of my friends. As soon as I walked in, I was quickly ushered toward a hot buffet cabinet in the back with maybe 8-10 premade options. Have you ever eaten something solely because you're hungry? That's what I did here. The pad thai was more than disappointing. The noodles were dry & stuck together -- especially the ones she scooped from the bottom of the pan. Yet, the entire dish was greasy & oily? There were a few roughly-cut scallions, & nothing else. The chicken was tasteless, dry, & cracked. No peanuts. A couple carrot chunks & some wilted cabbage leaves were tossed carelessly on the side. It all tasted like it had been sitting for hours; yet, I got to the restaurant at 12:15. And afterward, I felt greasy & uncomfortable. I know they're capable of making decent food, so why not serve it at lunchtime too? The only positive is that my lunch was just $6.50. But I feel like they sacrificed quality for a better value. Not worth it, if you ask me. read more

Bangkok City was the only Thai restaurant in Hoboken that I had yet to try. Based on what little I could see from the street, the dining room appeared rather grungy and empty. However, when a friend suggested that we give it a shot, I agreed, due to my love of Thai food. I have to say that it was MUCH better than I had expected. When I walked inside there was only one other group of diners, which was disconcerting, but the server greeted me with an enthusiastic hello for reassurance. I was also happy to see that they offered a full bar, something that very few other Asian restaurants in the area possess. I must admit that I did enjoy my ice cold Singha! Scanning the food menu was merely for show; I knew exactly what my culinary game plan was. One of my favorite meals is Pad See Ew, so I tend to judge Thai restaurants based on the quality of their version. I opted to include chicken this time around and was shockingly pleased with their rendition. Sure the noodles were slightly over-cooked and the sauce could have used a bit more oomph, but after a dollop of hot sauce, it was better than mediocre. In fact, I honestly thought it was the best rendition I have had in Hoboken. I will definitely add this spot to delivery and dine-in lists. read more

I think this is nearly the most authenticated Thai restaurant in hoboken. I like their mixed vegetables and curries, especially the spice ones. Their drinks are good too, but they are also very expensive($6 for each). I think its a good place to go, and if you want to try real Thai foods, this is your must-go list. I have been to there several times, and I still like to go to there every time I pass by hoboken. read more

The worst dining experience so far . Visited the restaurant with a bunch of friends and all of us came out disappointed. The basil fried rice turned up without any basil in it & the vegetarian drunken noodles was served with chicken pieces. Extremely hostile and rude management. Its the last time i would be visiting this place. read more

Went here for lunch. The waitress seemed like she had a chip on her shoulder. Service was less than mediocre. We had pad Thai and fried rice. The food was ok. Nothing special. My wife's glass had lipstick on it. Last but not least we ordered off the lunch menu and where charged full price. read more

5/5 for the Garee-puffs (2) we tried today at the hoboken arts and music street festival. Bangkok had a small cart setup and these were really good! Crispy shell with potato and chicken inside dipping sweet plum sauce on the side! Glad we tried- not sure what other food is like or dining in/delivery. read more

Good Thai food, good portions, reasonable prices, good service. Underrated, but also nothing amazing. Just solid. I wish they had better alcohol selection, given that this is not BYOB (they have beer and sweet, cheap wine) and the interior decor has a strong whore house ambience with the red lighting, but if you're there to drink Thai beer and don't mind the Bangkok red light district aesthetic, Bangkok City shouldn't disappoint. read more

Quick delivery and good food. I got the pad Thai and the spring rolls, fried rice, also some pad sew. So yummy! The pad Thai was the perfect taste- sometimes it can taste funky from some places. Great portion sizes for price! We ate leftovers for a couple of days...! read more

I wanted to like this place bc the poor old woman had to serve everyone herself. Bt that is why I'm giving this place a 2. Service was slow, food was average (too salty for me), no lunch special, price is higher than the other Thai places around, and they pride themselves on giving customers a homey feel, but I don't think it was homey... Came for lunch on a Friday with coworkers. Therer were about 2 other tables with people. Total customers is around 10. We had to seat ourselves, get our own forks and knives, etc. took her 20 min to fetus water, menu. Took another 20 min to get everyone's order. Portion was either too big or food wasn't good enough. Or maybe both. I don't remember what I got, but it's the one with beef and noodles. It was good at first then it got too salty for me. I couldn't finish my meal so I decided to pack it. W leave the place paying like 11 for each person or something. Get back to the company and I get a stomach ache again. I decided to throw the packed food out. Overall, slow service, not so great food, and better priced Thai resatuarants in hoboken. read more

Average service and food. Supposedly this place is Thai approved. My friend's Thai friend said this is as authentic as thai food gets. Or at least closest to the food you would get in Thailand. To me, this place tasted just like another Thai places. So either all those other Thai places I go to are authentic, or this is just another restaurant. Their food are okay priced, I wouldn't say it is cheap though. At least $10 per dish, if you want meat added to your dish, is another $1-3 depending on what kind of meat/seafood you get. read more

If you take a look at my Yelp page, you'd see that I'm quite the critic--I have a tendency to report the bad and ugly, rather than the good. I've been coming to Bangkok City Thai on Washington St since 2008 and I've never been disappointed. If you can not handle the spice, communicate that to the waitress (or the person you're talking to over the phone). The preparation + quality + service = A+ Recently, I've been addicted to the following dish: Gai Priew-Wan - $12.95 #IfYouDon'tKnowNowYouKnow #CheatMeal It's sauteed chicken with pineapple and mushrooms in a sweet and sour sauce & served with white rice. The chicken is always juicy and tender. Their lunch deal is an incredible way to try something new--great portions. read more

I ordered the food thought GH. They delivered the wrong dish. So I contacted GH for refund. After that, the lady from the Bangkok city Thai restaurant called and YELLED at me that "why did you contacted to GH? That was your mistake. Anyway it's okay I can get the payment from GH" That was a terrible experience and I don't recommend this place. She shouldn't yell at me.... Insane.... read more

Please do not go here... we were hungry and wanted some Thai food. We walked in, sat down. The lady taking our orders was an older lady and she was wearing a mask. Then the lady that brought us our food DID NOT have a mask on! That's right. All she had on was a face shield. Her whole mouth was out. It was disturbing. I couldn't even eat my food. She would lift her face shield up when she was in the back of the restaurant as if covid can only be infected in the front of the restaurant. If you care about your health and if you believe this pandemic and covid is real.... DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. As for the food, it was mediocre. The Tom kha soup was watery, drunken noodles weren't seasoned enough, the Thai iced tea was all milk and no tea. It was just as overall terrible experience. read more

Beware, This place is not clean and food tastes stale. I got food poisoning and threw up twice after leaving the place. I ordered Red curry and pad thai, but could not eat more than a few bites of either, due to the stale stench. Please avoid if you can read more

It's a pretty standard Thai place. I'm glad they have vegetarian options. I ordered mixed vegetable soup with coconut milk. It's a mix of sour and fresh flavor. read more

I love this place. They have the best Thai food in town and it has the most authentic flavor. I have eaten here at the restaurant a handful of times. There is only one door at the entrance so it could get quite when you are sitting by the door. The decor is nice, the pictures/statues and smell of this restaurant brings me back to Bangkok. Ah... The only funny thing is that they have big TV in the corner that's always on. Also, there is a round table towards the back designated for the owner and her husband. They're usually hanging out reading news paper, or cutting some vegetables. lol. That's cool. There is one waitress who always says "ka" after everything. Which is the Thai way of being polite. Love that. The food always come out quickly and piping hot. Some of our favorite dishes include: - Pad Kee Mow - My fave dish! This has a little kick to it unlike other pad kee mows out there. - Shrimp & Squid in Prawn Sauce (Goong & Pla Mueg Nam Pic): My husband always orders this and it is delicious! The sauce might sound a little intimidating but it tastes just like a sweet chili sauce. - Pad See Iwe - Crystal Pad Thai: It's just like pad thai but with the clear noodles. - Stir Fried Bean Sprout with Bean Curd - Steamed Dumplings - Mango and Sweet Sticky Rice - Tom Yum Delivery: yes for dinner; no for lunch Enjoy ka! read more

We ordered takeout for two but half the items were mediocre and the rest was terrible. The green curry with beef was literally the worst I've ever had, the green curry gravy was spicy yet without any flavor at all. That might sound strange but me and my partner both felt the same. We didn't even eat more than one quarter of it. The chicken skewers were also very dry. For a Thai restaurant to screw up green curry is extremely unprofessional. Also all the main stir fry dishes needed more vegetables. The only good thing was that the portions are big but that is wasted if they taste terrible. read more

45 bucks, and a date wasted. We sent everything back with all due respect. Curry was not soaked in veggies well. They billed us anyways and didnt agree that they can make bad food. They neither informed it to chef, as we had requested.. They just microwave premade stuff, toss it and throw. How difficult is it to make thai curry? read more

Fantastic food! Great people, and very pleasant restaurant. The environment, and pricing were also a very happy discovery!

It's been hit or miss with me. I've had this spot a few times now and it's just not as consistent as I would have hoped

This place is simply terrible. Do not order food from here if you want to save your stomach money and appetite. I got panang curry from here and it tasted terrible. The chicken was old and I ended up getting food poisoning next day. Worst food place I ever went to. read more

I ordered Pad Thai from here on Door Dash. There was clearly a rotten ingredient, probably something peanut-related. It was absolutely inedible and disgusting. I truly have never had a worse dish from any restaurant. I wish I checked the Yelp first, apparently another reviewer had the same dish and got food poisoning. Luckily I only ate a bite before discarding. read more

I seriously am so upset that I havent written a review for this place yet! I've been going here with my friends as our go to thai place for nearly 6 years! The food is authentic, its dimly lit and comfortable. My go To's are their papaya salad, pad thai of course, and their curry! I have tried the crab meat fried rice as well and it's delicious and filled with crab meat! I especially love the waiters and the cook! They're sweet, helpful, and fast with their service. I will always go back from time and time again for their shrimp pad thai, and thai iced tea. Inexpensive, affordable and great quality food! Thank you for all the years serving me and my girls our favorite pad thai! read more

Not many Thai restaurants in Hoboken and this one is the most convenient. I got the Gai Orange chicken entree. It's supposed to be fried but it was fried to the point where you could tell it was overcooked. I had to throw a lot of the chili powder to try and mask the taste. I didn't like the fact that you had to order rice separately as well. All in all, that was the cheapest chicken entree and with the rice still came out to be about 13 bucks which is really pricey, even for Hoboken. The portion size and service was good though. read more

RUDE SERVICE . I am torn here. The food is delsih but the owner, who sits on her fat a*s all day and folds laundry at one of the tables while watching the TV way too loud, is vicious. If you do NOT have to speak to her, you will be fine (short, curly hair, drag queen type make up). Hopefully you will get the polite waitress who looks Thai but speaks perfect English ( you can tell she is petrified of Cruella de Vil, aka, the owner. Bathrooms need to be cleaned badly and I REALLY hate it that "rice is extra" (as in, no matter what you order, you have to buy the rice extra, which is a huge scam). So in short, if you are gagging for yummy Thai and feel it's worth a bit of bad service, you should brave the storm. AVOID OWNER AT ALL COST. SHE IS A 'C U NEXT THURSDAY!' read more
