Bangkok House in Newark is one of those places that reminds you why small, family-run restaurants…read moreare irreplaceable. From the outside, it's humble and easy to miss. But once you're inside, you realize this mother-and-daughter team is serving some of the most authentic Thai food you'll find anywhere in Delaware. We ordered a little bit of everything--starting with the satay and soup, both of which were warm, flavorful, and clearly homemade. The satay came perfectly grilled with a peanut sauce that could have been a meal on its own. The soup was the kind of comfort you don't expect to find unless someone's cooking for you at home. The Pad Thai and Pad Kee Mao were both outstanding, each with its own distinct balance of sweetness, spice, and texture. You could tell nothing came out of a jar--the flavors were bright, clean, and layered. The red curry, rich and aromatic, had that perfect slow-building heat that keeps you reaching for more jasmine rice. And speaking of rice--it was cooked just right, fragrant and fluffy, the quiet star that pulled everything together. What makes Bangkok House truly special isn't just the food, though. It's the feeling you get while you're there. The care that goes into each dish, the relaxed, no-frills setting, and the pride this family takes in their craft all come through in every bite. My daughter, who goes to college nearby, swears it's the most authentic Thai food in Delaware--and after this meal, I believe her. If you're anywhere near Newark, skip the big-name places and come here instead. It's a small spot with a big heart, and it's the kind of meal you'll still be thinking about long after you've left.

When you place your order over the phone they ask for payment - prices online are the same as over the phone so I just order online now. The food here is good and portions are fair for the price. The food is pretty spicy so I recommend going for mild unless you really want a good sweat. Red curry comes with a portion of fragrant white rice, a delicious combo. I always forget to ask them to take the bean sprouts off the pad thai - I prefer cooked bean sprouts so I ask for it on the side hen throw it on the pan before pouring it over my pad thai. Southeast wings and salt+pepper wings are both good. Next time I will just got for a 10 piece instead of 5 of each. I can't comment on the ambiance since they won't even let guests in the front door.

We were all starving :) My vegan friend was craving pho so she got the vegetable pho (we double checked that it is made with vegetarian stock since it did not say this on the menu and it was!). My other friend got this spicy chicken stir fry (forgot the name). I got my usual pad sew ew but subbed with shrimp. I also got a thai ice tea to go with my meal. The food came out fairly fast and we chowed down. The pad sew ew noodles had great flavor and cooked perfectly. It came with a lot of Chinese broccoli and carrots. The only disappointing thing is that I only got 4 shrimp :/ they were good but would have liked to see more especially since it costs $3 more to sub with shrimp. Either way the portions are a good size. My friends both enjoyed their meals immensely. We all had a good time hanging out and eating. The Thai ice tea was also very good :) Def. would come back and try some other dishes one day! A great place for lunch.

This restaurant is located in a small group of street lined businesses, with parking along the street. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating on their patio. It was a chilly day, so we opted to sit inside. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive our entire visit. We ordered the Pad Garlic and Pad King lunch specials, both with chicken and hot spice level. The lunch specials come with a salad dressed with a sweet dressing. Our food was out in record time and was piping hot, so it's definitely a spot if you are in a time crunch- hello power lunch! We both thought our dishes were packed with flavor and although they had heat, we could have went with Thai Spicy. If we were local, this would definitely be our go-to spot!

Ambience is nice: it's tastefully decorated, not over the top. We had made a reservation and were promptly seated. It was moderately busy, but not packed. Service and food were both excellent. Our server was accurate and attentive. My husband and I started with the Steamed Dumplings, which were tasty. We enjoyed our main dishes -- Drunken Noodle (with beef) for him and Spicy House Noodles (with shrimp) for me. He said it's in his "top 2" best drunken noodles he's had. Everything was hot and perfectly seasoned; good portions. My friend had ordered a "sizzling" dish that did not come out sizzling, but he enjoyed it nonetheless; he and his wife had no other complaints. We all got dessert. I ordered the Mango & Sticky Rice, which was amazing -- definitely in my "top 2"! Restrooms were clean and functional. We all agreed we would dine here again. If you find yourself in the Kennett area craving delicious Thai food, I recommend checking this place out. You won't be disappointed!

For appetizers, we got the egg roll and chive pancakes. I would say to skip the egg roll. In my opinion, the wrapper was way too thick and hard rather than thin and crispy. The filling tasted just ok. Instead, I would get just the chive pancake. It's fragrant, herbaceous, light, and pleasantly chewy and bouncy. For my pad Thai entree with tofu, it was decent. The portion size is a little smaller than what I am typically used to from other Thai restaurants but I was still full. I got a 3/5 and it wasn't spicy to be. It was savory, had a strong fish sauce base, and good! I would get this if I was in the area but wouldn't go out of my way.

I've traveled to Thailand several times and really enjoy the mix of flavors. I consider myself a Panang curry enthusiast - it's almost always what I order. The version I had here was OK but very basic. Other versions I've had included big chunks of potatoes and other fresh vegetables. This one really just had thin slices of chicken and not much else. I was with a friend visiting from Ireland who hadn't had much Thai food before, so I wanted to introduce him to the iconic Pad Thai dish. The version served here was just too sweet. A bit disappointing. There was only one server and she was very attentive.
