    Fried rice and pad ke mao (drunken noodles)
    Thomas N.

    I come here every time I visit the VA beach area, and let me tell you the food does not disappoint. We always get the beef yum, pad ke mao and fried rice. Food comes out smelling lovely and tasting great. Service is exceptional as I believe it's family owned? Great waitresses who are patient and friendly. Quiet and delightful ambiance of a place to have lunch or dinner! I recommend this place to anyone that's in the area!! Be sure to pull hard on the door when entering.

    It's been awhile since I have been here but I met a friend for lunch. We both ordered the same thing. #36 Kao Pad Ru Mit (Combination Fried Rice) which came with Chicken, Shrimp, Beef and Pork. The portion was huge and I took most of it in a To Go Box. We also had a salad with a spring roll. It just wasn't my favorite. I actually found the food to be a bit bland. We had to ask for hot sauce. The shrimp was perfectly cooked though. No dessert menu but they have vegetarian options. There was not many people in the restaurant - even at lunch time. I got the impression that they may be struggling. I just wasn't overly impressed with the food. They were very friendly and I always had water. I hope it was just an off day because I know that I have had better tasting food at this restaurant.

    Takeout from Bangkok Garden: Fast service, nice staff. The food was good, kind of ordinary, but very very generous, and they aren't afraid to go spicy! The kao pad puu crab fried jasmine rice was super-loaded with crab, plus nice flavoring from onions, garlic and green onion, and some egg. I got it unspiced, but I'd say at least do the mild spice. The chicken pad thai fried noodles was of course flavored with peanut crumbles and green onion, with crunchy fresh bean sprouts and some egg. It was so good, i couldnt get a clear photo because we were all diving right in :-). We added a veggie noodle dish with chicken, but I forget exactly which one. These last two were a quite zingy "medium" spicy, but we would have been happy with "mild". We added some fried pork wontons and some bright fresh crunchy spring rolls. We loved the sweet peppery dipping sauce! It's a great takeout place to get the flavors you know in generous amounts :-) Just tune the spiciness to your liking.

    It lovely inside. Staff are very nice. I like their menu choices. We will go back to try them and hopefully to give a 5 star review. Neither of us were impressed with the food. We had choice of chicken or pork. We did not like the pork. It didn't taste right and neither of us felt right after eating. Next time we will get chicken. Sorry we just did not like the pork from here. We have had these dishes at other places and they were good but maybe they were just having an off day

    Wife and I order food here Togo. Ordered combo Thai fried rice, chicken, pork, beef. No shrimp. Wonton Soup. Spring rolls. Mango curry. Thai ice tea. I gave another star because the wonton was good, probably the best thing we ordered out of the order. I was gunna do 2 but decided to do 3 cuz the wonton was the best out of it all. Mango curry was ok. Spring rolls were not good in our opinion. Not the Taste so much but the texture. Well I guess taste too. It just wasn't there. We have had better elsewhere. Thai fried rice was ok. Nothing special. And the Thai tea was way too sweet and off. Had to add water to it and still was not good. I'd say for now, we've tried this place out and that will be our experience for this place and we'd like to keep looking else where for a better Thai restaurant. Service was ok. Not terrible when we went in to pick it up. Restaurant was very decorative. But yeah. We will keep searching for a better Thai restaurant out there.

    It has been a good minute since I've been to Bangkok Garden! I used to go to their Loehmann's Plaza location often years ago when we were stationed here the last time. Lots of great memories made there with colleagues during work lunches. That location may have been the only one back in those days. Nice to see that they've expanded and have quite a number of locations all over Coastal Virginia. We happened to be in the Hilltop area and half of my fam wanted Chick Fil A and the other half wanted Thai, so we split up. - TLC - My oldest and I got there right when it opened on Saturday at noon. We were greeted by a nice lady and was told to sit wherever we wanted. She was attentive throughout the entire visit and was very sweet and patient. - Vibe - The interior is decorated with a lot of Thai accents, with dark wood walls and furniture. They've installed a portion of what typical temples and houses look like in Thailand, complemented by Buddha artwork. It took me back to my trips to Thailand when I was a spring chicken. The decor adds to the experience. - Noms - Thai Tea - tasty, but holy geez, this thing is huge, like gas station super size me huge. It's like they give you the refill at the same time, before you ask. I took half of it to go. Seafood tom yum - my only gripe of this entire meal was with this soup. The the scallop did not seem fresh and did not seem to be cooked all the way through. Almost like it was frozen, thawed and thrown into the soup. Had that spongy texture. The broth itself was great and also had shrimp and salmon along with some onions and tomatoes. Beef pad kapau - this is one of my go-to items on the menu. My previous colleague got me on it and I loved it so much, I looked up a recipe and I make it at home from time to time. (It's actually a lot easier to make than I thought). This dish is quite aromatic with the addition of sprigs of Thai basil and the sauce on it is just so tasty. I added some extra eggplant to the dish to get some more veggie ratio. Beef pad seew - I ordered this for my oldest as she loves rice noodles and beef and broccoli which is perfect for her. For both beef dishes though, I found the beef to be a bit tough. The portions are quite generous and I ordered a little too much for myself and my oldest, even though she has quite the appetite. It made great leftovers the next day and we got another meal out of it. Glad to see that they have more locations throughout Coastal VA which makes it more convenient to get our Thai fix! Stay safe, Friends!

    Papaya salad
    Christine G.

    We were craving Thai so we decided to come for lunch! It was pretty busy for lunch time but we were able to walk in and get a table for 10. Most of us ordered the Thai ice tea to start and when it came out, we were surprised at how huge it was. This was definitely a good deal! I couldn't even finish half, it was really good though. We then ordered our meals. I got the papaya salad & beef massaman curry and my husband got the combo pad Thai. We didn't realize that the lunch also came with a small side salad and an egg roll. Both of our dishes were very good. The papaya salad was fresh and seasoned perfectly. It did have a mild kick to it so it wasn't too spicy. We were so full from all that food but we couldn't leave without getting the mango sticky rice and we made the right choice by ordering it. The sticky rice with the mango slices had a nice balance of flavors and kept you wanting more and more. I could eat this dessert everyday!! Our waitress was super friendly and always checking up on us. All of the food was delicious too. This will definitely be our go to Thai restaurant!!

It was warm, comforting, and I Liked the big pieces of tofu and mushrooms. I'm still not entirely sure what the dumplings were...they were an odd texture to me, kind of gooey and soft, but the outside had a slight crunch to it. I can't even really describe the taste, either. I didn't taste the chives, though I saw plenty of them. The sauce was a savory flavor I'd never had before and I didn't particularly like it. I don't feel like it enhanced the dumpling. Maybe it'd be better with another sauce? The fried rice was typical thai fried rice. Steaming hot, veggies still have a crisp, flavored well. No surprises here. Ordering online was simple, pickup was easy and fast, and the place looked nice and clean inside (though I didn't stay to eat it there). I was greeted with a smile and I left with a smile, so no complaints.
