The bad went to the BKK on Alemeda. Service was not good or i was impatient. They may have been understaffed not sure. The first person to see me could have acknowledged that there may be a wait. The good. Since that did not pan out I visited the BKk on S. Staples. Nice interior clean And modern. Before ordering I inquired about spice levels. 1 through 3, and was told they have additional spices if needed. Started with the Rom Yumm with Shrimp level 2. Level 2 had the right amount of heat for me plenty of tomatoes And mushrooms a few slices of lime. Very pleased with this soup. Next the pad price king. A fried flounder in a curry paste with vegetables.i also opted for the fried rice vs the jasmine. Again level 2. Nice flounder filet sitting on onions, peppers and carrots with the level 2 heat I wanted. Recommend them. Overall between the two places I give them a four star rating. My original stop brought them down a star. My final destination a 5 star read more

"Don't shoot the piano player, he's doing the best he can." I understand that many people won't know the difference between Thai and Chinese. But I happened to like Thai. So for what I ate I should've gone to the mall to the food court and ordered a takeout. It would've made more sense read more

BKK was always a favorite until it wasn't due to poor staffing and wait times on food. But we gave it another chance this past week and it was so great!! Service was phenomenal and the food came out quick! We actually went back a second time!! Give this place another chance! It's such a beautiful restaurant and we were excited to see it get its spark back!! read more

This is BKK's second location off of Staples and Saratoga near B & J's Pizza. It is a stand alone building in the plaza with big windows that reveal the beautiful interior. Upon arriving, we were seated immediately and given menus. The menu has a decent variety of dishes but most are priced very high. Our waitress was fantastic throughout the night! She was cheerful, polite, and worked very hard to give us a good experience. I'm only giving two stars because she was great. What we ordered: Chicken Tom Yum Soup - We ordered this dish to share with everyone at the table. Judging it as a soup, it tastes nice. But if I want authentic Tom Yum this is too sweet, needs lemongrass, and is missing the signature Tom Yum sourness. 6/10 Chicken Pineapple Curry Fried Rice - Good portion size and flavor was nice. This was also on the sweet side but comparable to other curry fried rice I have had elsewhere. 7/10 Pad See Ew - Yikes! This was NOT pad see ew. No sauce, dried up noodles, and raw carrots. If you are going to use dried flat noodles they have to be rehydrated and cooked properly. These were not and resulted in a dried up, crunchy dish. 1/10 My big problem with this restaurant was the lack of care for my mom's dish. She ordered a gluten free mixed vegetable stir fry and it was so salty it was inedible. She has heart problems and cannot have a lot of salt!! We requested a remake but were told they can't make it less salty because the gluten free sauce is bottled. According to our server, this is a regular problem. They could only control the salt level for the regularly prepared dish. We had it remade and it was swimming in sauce and super salty. She only ate part of it while trying to drain the sauce from the veggies. Our waitress was very apologetic and asked if they could reconcile this. We said whatever they saw as acceptable. We could not believe it when our check came out with a 3% discount. 3%?!?! That was what management found acceptable?! It was a total of .45 cents off the bill. It didn't even cover the $2+ they charged us for credit card fees!! I will not be giving this place another try. If the management doesn't care about complaints than this place will never be good. read more

I was so disappointed by this place because it's so close by, but I ordered three things tonight, and all three were inedible. The "large" Tom Kha soup came in a rather small container for the $11.50 price point. It was sickening sweet and not at all a typically tasting Tom Kha soup. The pineapple fried rice was super salty and overcooked. The sticky rice with mango had burnt hard rice in it and almost no sweetness. The 3 tiny slices of mango couldn't make up for the overcooked dessert. read more

Came here for brunch on Sunday. The place looks nice but that was about all that was nice. We walked in and were the only guests in the spot. The server got us water and our orders but then it took them 20 minutes for our food to come out. Then the food was average at best. I did like the hash. We got one drink then left. Probably won't come back but they do have a different location and a regular menu so maybe we will try that one read more

I ordered the Tiger Cry Steak and it was absolutley terrible. It was rubbery and was barely warm. The staff was nice about it tho, and he was pretty chill. They need to work on the sound bounce in the resturant, you can hear one table from across the resturant even if they are talking at a normal level. thai tea was good tho and the satay starter with peanut sauce was really well cooked and so flavorful I'd probably come back just for that lol read more

Its like they do not care. I have been there a few time when i travel with my kids but not again thank you AL read more

I love the atmosphere here. Simple and elegant. It's always good to come in to get a couple of drinks w my girlfriends. The owners are really friendly. They always come to our table and greet us. The food is great. I love the fire cracker shrimp and money bags. The brunch on Sundays is good too. Asian flavors in local favorite foods. I've been eating here since 2017 and on the south side now that they have two locations. read more

How freaking hard is it to make French toast? I don't understand why every time I order this it's always burned with the first order. Which is fine when you're eating there, you can send it back and get a non-burned French toast but when you order it to go or are you GrubHub it. You're going to get burned French toast and nobody can help that. Three times ordered, three times burned this time I wasn't there to send it back. I guess I don't get brunch. My truly first world problem. read more

I actually eat here pretty often because it's down the street from me, but it's not the best Thai food I've ever had. If Nom's kitchen was closer to me, I'd choose them every time! I've actually been pretty disappointed with some of the infamous Thai entrees. Tom kha 0/5 Disgusting. The typical Tom kha soup I'm familiar with has a beautiful white color that's coconut based . The Tom kha here is so orange and looks like curry. It is SO sour and overpowering that you don't taste any other flavors. All I taste is the lime leaf. I don't taste coconut milk or lemongrass. Very disappointed because I love Tom kha. Satay 1/5 Kind of bland and lacking flavor. Would not order again. Pad Thai 2/5 Their pad Thai was very liquidy. Almost like a soup. However, don't get me wrong. They do have some really delicious items on the menu as well. Thai summer rolls 5/5 Delicious! Not too greasy and fried to the perfect crisp! I do wish the portion was bigger especially since the roll itself is small (about the size of my index finger) you get 3 in an order for $5. Firecracker Shrimp 5/5 Love this! It's so crispy and delicious. Probably one of my favorite items on the menu. Teriyaki chicken 4/5 Good! Your typical chicken and rice entree with veggies. Yellow curry 5/5 I usually order this every Tuesday with tofu as I eat a vegetarian diet every Tuesday. It's delicious and the portion is good! It also comes with a side salad or soup and a veggie roll. Edit to add-- the times I've dined in service was lacking big tine. Servers rarely check on you and you have to constantly ask for what you need. read more

I personally didn't like the food all that much. I had the teriyaki chicken and thought the breast was dry and the spices were bland. However, by family that had other items (pad tai spicy shrimp and some curry dish) enjoyed their meals. read more

I guess there's a reason this BKK has a 3.2 while the original location has a 4.2. We ordered takeout during Sunday brunch and were pretty disappointed. The tortillas on the tacos broke so you couldn't eat them like a taco, and we had to just use forks to eat them. The French toast was soggy and tasted old (we picked up our food only 20 min after placing the order). The potatoes are extremely soggy and mushy. Plus, they forgot our bacon. For $15 per Taste of Thailand, I expect all my food. I don't think it's worth the money TBH. Much better places to go. Won't be back! The owner clearly doesn't take these reviews seriously, based on their replies to other reviews. Steer clear... read more

Food was good but overpriced. I hate the fact that if I use a credit card, I have to pay to use my card. I'm literally paying to pay for food.

Came here for the first time, had great service and drinks, but when it came to the main part of my visit, (entrees) it was so unfortunate. Two of us ordered the drunken noodles it was flavorless and confusing? Out of the the other 4 dishes the other two slapped. Despite the fried flounder being flavorless as well. Overall was just unhappy with a $160 bill when my food was awful. read more

This 2nd location isn't as good at the original in Lamar Park, it really lacks ambiance. In fact, it isn't a Thai restaurant. Its a restaurant with a Thai inspired menu. I mean, have you EVER been in a Thai restaurant that hasn't got a picture of the old king? (The father of the current King). Unlikely. We found the food to be 'run of the mill' and the service slow. We only come here now when Tuk Tuk is full. read more

Went there for lunch with a friend for her first time.

I'll begin by saying, the food, in my experience has great flavor. That alone warrants the rating. There are some off putting things about the restaurant. Slow service. Awkward/unfriendly staff. Oddly enough, overly clean restaurant. Its so bright. Too many windows with no shade. Great food though, a few bucks overpriced. Yak Yogi out! read more

Our server Kendall was so friendly and knew what to recommend from the menu for me to try out. The Bangkok wings came out steaming hot and delicious in a sweet sticky sauce. Our meals were fantastic and full of authentic flavors. Served hot and large portions. Will definitely return. Our server said to come for Sunday Brunch!! The staff were very attentive and the owner came over and was very nice, thanked us for coming in. The Panna cotta with Mango purée was rich and creamy. Yumm!! read more

We ordered on Grubhub. The food was out a whole hour after originally stated it would be ready with no utensils. The server was also incredibly low energy and seemed to hate their job.

This is not good y'all. If ADHD was a restaurant, it would be named BKK. It's complete chaos in here. We went in on a Wednesday evening directly after work, around 5:45. Only About half of the tables were filled, but instantly this was SO LOUD. I mean literal shouting across the table to my husband to have any sort of conversation. It was not a good vibe at all. The table we were sat at was a high top. The configuration of the table base won't allow you to push your chair in unless one of the chair legs rests on the table base, then making you wobble back and forth. So you either get to sit about a foot away from the table and awkwardly lean in to eat, or be wobbling all dinner. Awesome. The service...I'm still not sure who our waiter was. We had four different people come in randomly throughout our dining experience. One person brought water, one brought food, one took our credit card to pay, and one stopped in and asked "how are you feeling?" Which I'm still trying to figure out. What does that even mean in a restaurant capacity? Food was lackluster. I enjoyed my dinner salad with peanut dressing. Green curry was my meal. I specifically ordered that dish based on veggies, it stated Broccoli as one of the veggies, which is my fave! However it arrived with no broccoli at all :( I was disappointed. My hubs ordered pad Thai and it was not good. The noodles were dry and had a burnt taste. We also were told three times that the food was "almost out" and "we're just waiting on one more thing". None of that seemed correct because we still continued to wait. It wasn't exceptionally long so I'd rather just not be told anything. But don't say things that are inaccurate just to sound good. My husband and I both would agree NEVER to dine in again mostly because of the loudness. We could literally hear every word from the people at the bar conversing with the bar tender. So I'm sure they could hear us too. Side note, If you decide to order to go, beware. I saw two people coming to pick up to go orders and neither were ready. They waited a long time. One lady sat down at the bar and ordered a drink it took so long. She brought this to the (what I assume to be) manager's attention that the online ordering system had alerted her that her food was ready, so that's why she came in to pick it up. The manager replied with something to the effect of "that system is really not cooperating and never works right. I'd recommend if it says it's ready to wait 15 more minutes and then come." Haha! The customer said why don't you just fix your system? But the manager just kept insisting that it was never going to work right so the customer should just give it more time and hope for the best when she shows up. Pretty poor managing. I would probably rate 3.5 stars for food. 0 star for atmosphere. So 2 stars overall. I don't recommend this. Tuk tuk down the road on Yorktown was a really good experience for us, we will go back there next time for Thai. I recommend them. read more

This place is very disappointing. I have eaten here in person as well as through food delivery. The food has become subpar, muted flavors and lack of attention to the meal. Attached in this review is a picture of the Pad See Ew takeout order. Per the menu, pad see ew comes with Chinese broccoli and carrots. My order was a monochromatic medley of beige tofu, chicken, and noodle...for 20.00. This food is NOT quality and not representative of the prices they are being charged. I believe you're just paying mostly for the novelty of the restaurant and the allure of having a building with a nice interior design though the Thai food offering is average. There are other options in Corpus Christi that reflect more accurately the balance and robust flavor of thai cuisine for a more reasonable price in my opinion. Come to BKK for a nice decor, cocktails and some of the appetizers which are done well including the summer rolls, money bags, and satay. Definitely would not recommend coming to a Thai place to order Pho. The pho offering here is lacking in some of the essential flavor profiles of a pho. read more

The service was fabulous. Didn't have to wait for sitting. It's fairly new to the south side. It is also small and I believe they will eventually open up a patio area. We started with an iced Thai tea. Sweet and strong as it should be. No refills on this. We tried the half and half which is half seaweed salad and half serving of octopus salad. Delicious! Curry was next. They were out of chicken, so I got shrimp and tofu with my Penang curry. Perfection with steamed Jasmine rice. Noodles are optional. The green curry was also very delicious. The vegetables used in our dishes were perfectly cooked with slight crunch. The portions are also very satisfying. We also tried the spicy tuna tower made with fresh mango, cucumber, octopus and the spicy tuna over a bed of steamed sticky rice. Be prepared to pay $10-12 for cocktails. The meal itself was about $20 per person. read more

Smallish portions and largish prices. Food is very good. Love the flavors and Thai keeps it interesting.

BKK is beautiful, a hidden gem for sure. The servers (Lauren in particular) were highly attentive and the food came out beautiful and delicious. I had two different appetizers, a soup, a sashimi, and a dessert. It was some of the best Thai food I've had believe me I've had a lot. Prices were decent and even on a Saturday night during the holiday rush, I was still seated quickly. Highly recommend. read more

So eating there is great. But getting to go food is awful. The flimsy styrofoam containers have popped open and dumped my food into the to go bag as I'm driving or as I'm carrying it in my home.

We just came on Mother's Day for brunch and were excited to be seated right away and our server was awesome, however as we were waiting for our food we had noticed every table around us was waiting awhile for their main course, so we had excepted that our food would take longer than usual but two hours went by and we finally received our food. I'm not exaggerating when we got there before 1pm and left after 3pm...my husbands drunken noodles were hard like they had sat to the side for awhile and everyone got there food at the table 10 before I the mother on Mother's Day received my food....we also were ordering mimosas and had to wait 30 min for a second one while we watched the bartender not even look at tickets to make for the restaurant...you think if food is taking too long the cocktails would be pouring to make up for it? I was excited to finally get the opportunity to try BKK, but this put a sour taste in my mouth with the lack of making sure the experience is up to par. We did however see someone come out of the kitchen to apologize to tables but skipped us for some reason....there may have been maybe 10 tables in the whole restaurant at this time as well. read more

We enjoy the Lamar park location but I happened to be on this side of town today and wanted to give this new location a shot.
