I don't like to share poor reviews but I wanted to share my honest experience. The first thing I noticed was the limited parking. When you enter, you walk through a boba tea and sweets area before turning the corner into the restaurant seating, which was a bit unexpected but interesting. When I arrived, I was asked to wait briefly for a group to leave before being seated since the space is very small and there wasn't enough room to pass. Once they moved, I was seated right away, which I appreciated. There were a few cleanliness and service issues that took away from the experience. The table hadn't been fully cleaned and still had spilled flower water on it, with napkins on the floor underneath. We also didn't have napkins or silverware at the table initially, so I grabbed napkins from the other side of the restaurant to wipe the table. I did mention this to the staff, but the table wasn't addressed afterward. The food was okay and had flavor, though it was fairly simple and became repetitive after a few bites. Service overall felt a bit slow, and we waited for a while before someone helped us check out. Overall, the experience was just okay. With a bit more attention to cleanliness and service, I think this place has the potential to be much better. read more

Place was almost empty of guests. I was seated immediately, water served. No noodles with sauce to munch on as I looked over the menu. I decided on an order of chicken wings with Thai sauce, and beef with mixed vegetables in a garlic sauce. The wings were on point, crispy with Thai sauce. Sauce was mild and sweet The beef with mixed vegetables and garlic sauce was awful! Grey beef, looked poached, with mixed vegetables. Veggies but the cabbage were ok, cabbage tasted spoiled. The garlic sauce.... Let's call this jarlic and water, which was so bland, this dish seemed like a dietetic dish! No kick at all! The jasmine rice was bland until I put the remaining chile sauce on it. This was a disappointment, given the restaurant was slow at 12:15 on a Wednesday I expected food with a kick, instead diet bland food was served. read more

I recently ordered Chicken Pad Thai and Shrimp in a Blanket by DoorDash. I liked the wonton wrapped fried long shrimp and sweet tangy dip. The texture held up well via delivery. The chicken Pad Thai was OK. The chicken and noodles were both pretty good. The dish lacked flavor though. There was no lime, which didn't help. But even assuming there had been lime, the Pad Thai lacked sufficient seasoning and/or sauce. Particularly, it needed to have a bit more salty flavor. I had heard good things about Somewhere. This didn't measure up to my hopes. 3.5 Stars read more

Good, but not really anything to write home about. First of all, the parking lot is a little difficult to navigate with an auto sales place being next door. They literally have cars parked everywhere, including giant pickup trucks in the middle of the lot. Not that I'm knocking the restaurant for that. Overall, the place is really really small, but I was the only person in there so that wasn't an issue. Decor was nice and it was quite comfortable. I ordered the steamed shumai which was good. The sauce it came with was really good, though. For my meal I got the chicken pad thai. Which was also just fine. It wasn't bad by any means, I've just definitely had better. The service was perfectly good and everyone was friendly. Did I enjoy myself? Yes. But will I be running back immediately for more? No. read more

First off, I luv good Thai food. It's been a while, but was happy to get back to Somewhere in Bangkok to meet some friends/former co-worker. In my opinion, this is one of the best Thai options in the central/northern CT area. Their Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles) is great, and bursts with flavor! We really liked the Summer Roll so much we got a 2nd order... it's nice that they neatly cut the rolls into bit-sized slices. My buddy got the crab bag app, and he enjoyed. The decor of this restaurant is nice and bright/open with plenty of windows. Service was perfectly attentive. read more

What an amazing find! It's absolutely cute and clean inside and decorations are up depending on the holiday. Walked into the bubble tea/dessert area that can be taken to go with the dining area more secluded into the restaurant. It's a tough choice with the menu because everything looked so good. I would say the milk tea is one of the best I have ever had. The lettuce wraps is nicely presented. The cilantro adds freshness and the sauce adds a good flavor. The peanuts add a good crunch. It that was a meal, I'm signing up! All of us on our table gobbled up our whole meal. I would add a bit more spice or curry to the Jungle curry. Otherwise, everything was great! Our server was really nice too. read more

Back again for more boba. This time, I got the Vietnamese Coffee Milk Tea with Coffee Jelly (less sweet). I really enjoyed it. I wish it was even less sweet, but I guess the sugar level can only be adjusted so much when one of the main ingredients in Vietnamese coffee is condensed milk. Either way, the flavor of the drink was good, and I liked the texture and taste of the coffee jelly. It was flavorful but not too overpowering like some can be. I would get this again. *They also let you spin a wheel if you order a special drink, and so far I've won 2 free small bobas! read more

I love me some Thai food and I was craving some Pad Thai. I grab a friend and headed to Somewhere in Bangkok. I usually come here for a to go order of their boba which is in the front when you walk in. The restaurant seating area and pretty small but always clean. We came here on a Wednesday afternoon and it was not too busy. It was a bit warm in the restaurant but we were also in the middle of a heat wave. The waitress was nice and attentive. Food came out pretty quickly but we were the only one there. We decided to start with the popular shrimp and the calamari. The popular shrimp was nicely crispy and was toss in mild creamy mayonnaise sauce. I was pleasantly surprised by the crisp sweet apples in it. It pairs nicely with the creamy sauce. The calamari was standard and delicious. I always love dipping it in sweet chili sauce. I order chicken Pad Thai, and it was good for me. There some places that makes it soggy but it was cooked the way I like it. It was missing some crush peanuts and a wedge of lime. But I get that people have allergies. Maybe I will request it next time. Now I like my Thai food a bit spicy and I'm glad that had the chili rack. The rack had pickle jalapeños, roasted chili powder, chili oil and chili paste. I was able to adjust the spiciest of my dish the way I like it. I also order a rose and lychee green tea, which was refreshing with its floral and tangy flavor. Overall I had a good experience and will be coming back. read more

Somewhere In Bangkok was so delicious, I will definitely be back for more! They specialize in authentic Thai cuisine serving up familiar staples to more traditional dishes if you are seeking to expand your taste buds. The menu has a lot of options from salads, stir-fry, curry, noodles, and specialty entrees. They have a small dining room and you can order for carry-out too. There are fun and adorable boba/animal plushies, key chains and gifts for sale too. I ordered the Mango Curry with tofu and vegetables. The waitress was very kind because I had to bring up my food allergy and she took note. The curry was very good... Curry is one of my favorite dishes. The broth was spicy, coconutty, and smooth. The mango on top was perfectly ripe as sweet. There was a generous amount of veggies were cooked wonderfully, still have a nice crunch. The tofu was tasty and had a perfect golden fried coating. It was also served with a small bowl of rice. I had leftovers because I wanted to save room for an Ube Boba Tea on our way out. There was a separate menu for the boba tea--Bangkok Boba Tea--that you order at the counter when you first walk into the restaurant. This was a little confusing, but we figured it out. The boba menu had a of flavors with real pictures of what the drink looked like. My Ube drink was visually neat, dark Ube paste smeared around the cup and the pastel purple of the milk tea. The boba was some of the best I ever had, soft, chewy and lightly sweet. The drink was very sweet and glad I saved it for my dessert. Everyone I was with also enjoyed their dishes. My husband got a steak salad dish that tasted like how his mother makes it, so he was pleased. He also enjoyed a Thai Iced Tea. For four people, plus two drinks, our bill was reasonable, around $85. I can see us becoming regulars at Somewhere In Bangkok. There were a few other items that I'd like to try like the Crab Fried Rice. I can't wait to drink my way through the boba tea menu too. read more

We ordered take out through DoorDash. We did not experience the ambiance of service unfortunately so I can only rate on the food. Pad Thai- the pad Thai was good but needed more sauce. The menu stated that it would have a Thai sauce but it was very dry and hard to finish. The taste was great! Just needed more sauce. Mango curry- my husband had this and enjoyed it! Definitely lived up to its name. Lastly the crab bags! We expected them to be like crab rangoons but they were different. Delicious and the sauce with them was our favorite. read more

The last few time we went there the food was horrible - example: we order a mango dish no meat & the mango was hard so we ask for a ripe one & the brought back some real sloppy brown ripe mango pieces that had chicken in it - it looked like it was left overs from someone else's dish Discussing crap slop we won't go back read more

The food was very bland and horrible. I think they changed their cook!! My soup tasted like water. My stir fry was watery. It was just terrible all around. Will never come back here. She took my tom yum soup back and said she would fix it and came back with it and it still tasted like watered down soup. read more

This place definitely makes money! Who thought a Tuesday would be BUSTLING?! My family and I made reservations for 4 people at 6:30pm. It is clear that this restaurant is understaffed. The phone was ringing off the hook for takeout orders and there were parties waiting to be seated in addition to us. We waited about 25 minutes until we asked if we could sit outside. It took another 25 minutes for our waters to come out and order to be taken. I know the 3 girls working were overwhelmed and I have no idea what was happening in the kitchen because our food took over an hour to come out. It started to rain and there was a table available inside so we were able to move. My sister ordered a bubble tea that she didn't get until 30 minutes later where she went to grab it herself. I had a ginger ale that also took a long time to come out also. For appetizers we ordered the papaya salad, wings and egg rolls. We were starving and inhaled the food! For entrees we ordered pad Thai, pad see euw, drunken noodles and pineapple fried rice. Oddly, the pad see euw had the same noodles as the pad Thai so I assumed they must've run out of the thick noodles. I wish they would've told us that they ran out of the thick noodles because we had 3 dishes with the same noodles. I also thought Chinese broccoli came with the noodles instead of the regular broccoli. Maybe I'm accustomed to the quicker service we receive living in Brooklyn and being notified if something runs out (which rarely happens in NYC). The food was alright, we felt like it could have used some salt or more seasoning. Overall, I recommend making a reservation to limit your wait time. We thought it'd be an off peak time but it clearly wasn't. We enjoyed each other's company but there was also a rowdy group that was extremely loud it felt like we were in a cafeteria. It's a cute restaurant with and extensive menu and the bubble tea stand gets busy as well. The restaurant has got a lot to offer. They did try to kind of make it right by giving us a small discount which was the right thing to do. I hope this restaurant hires more wait staff and cooking staff because it was way too busy for the amount of people working. Other tables were upset for how long their food was taking to come out as well. Love supporting small businesses and I hope this restaurant can handle its capacity better in the future! read more

This place is extraordinary and I frequent it at least 3 times a month! The service here is wonderful. The ladies there are always smiling and more than happy to accommodate your requests. The appetizers, food, specialty drinks and desserts are delicious. The restaurant uses fresh ingredients offer plenty of vegan options. Despite some reviews mentioning portion size, I've always found the portions to be more than generous. Somewhere in Bangkok the best Thai restaurant in the area!

2.28.22 I'd have to say this place is a pass for me. My most recent experience unfortunately fell short. As soon as I got out to the car I dipped in for a quick taste before going home. The Bangkok eggrolls weren't good at all. They were actually cold & a sort of limp. They weren't crispy at all. No crunch. Womp womp. I went back in and asked Crystal and she was no help. She said oh they cook those first and they were probably sitting around & ready before your meal was. She didn't offer to exchange them for fresh warm & hot newly crispy made ones. The Laab chicken was just ok. Pretty good taste. I've had better at other places. There were too many onions in it for my liking. The restaurant itself is very clean. The parking lot is an odd & awkward one that's shared with other businesses. Tight parking area. I am very surprised with this quality of food I received, especially with all of their awards and better reviews. read more

I've always heard such good about this restaurant and was excited to finally try it. Unfortunately I was a little puzzled when looking for the "wow" factor that gave this nice little restaurant in the middle of an auto repair lot over 250+ reviews and a very positive rating on Yelp. My first visit was good but nothing too special. I'm wondering what this hype was all about. Their drunken noodles were good! Nothing else I could say. When I ate it with my girlfriend, we both took the first bite and made no eye-contact and just said "yeah it's good". But usually when something actually is "REALLY GOOD" or "GREAT" we'd take the first bite, make uncomfortably deep eye-contact and proceed to burn our mouths with the amazing textures/flavors. It was that type of good, in the bad way, if you know what I mean. Now on the second visit, it was we made eye-contact in a "wow what the hell" kind of way. My drunken noodles were......"NOT GOOD". The noodles were undercooked, or at least they were a little hard and dry. The best part of the flat rice noodles are the moist and chewy texture. This time I had neither. The noodles seemed to be like little bits and extremely small pieces of whatever was left for flat rice noodles and they tossed it up and called it drunken noodles. Depressing is how I'd like to describe these noodles. The first time I was ever disappointed in my favorite dish. Now for the Pad Woon Sen, it was just OK. It seemed like the ingredients weren't tossed very well as nothing seemed to go together as it usually would. If I closed my eyes I'd think I'm eating a salad when I bite vegetables and a chinese chicken dish when I bite the chicken. The noodles didn't really have any flavor at all! I'd just believe I was eating plain glass noodles. Shrimp Summer Rolls, what can I say? I've had better. Pad Woon Sen was a home run in terms of portion size as it normally is but the drunken noodles were on the smaller side and really just disappointed me. It's like not only was the portion of a lunch size which is also cheaper but it was less food, more money, and the food I got wasn't even good. Service was nice both times I came around. With such great ratings despite both of my experiences, the food lacked positivity overall. I'm gonna assume this place's quality is going downhill and is rather lost.........Somewhere in Bangkok. HA. I can forgive but never forget, hopefully they can impress me next time. read more

Somewhere in Bangkok is a Thai Restaurant that offers Boba teas. They have a variety of fruit teas and milk teas along with a variety of add ons. They also have caffeine free and dairy free options too. This was my first time ordering bubble teas, so I got something basic. I got the strawberry passion green tea with no boba and also a honey dew melon milk tea with tapioca boba. Both were good. The strawberry passion green tea was very concentrated and very sweet. Upon entering the employee was very welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable and graciously answered all my questions, lol. I definitely recommended stopping by! While talking with the employee I was saying how cool it would be if they offered a boba tea flight so you could sample multiple flavors at once. read more

Overall: Authentic to the core Ambience: I have been coming here since 2010 and the place is always busy, during lunch or dinners. I don't see as much family dining as I see friends and first dates here. Food: Tons of options from noodles to soups to currys and chef specialities to choose from! I have tried their Red curry, Yellow curry, Drunken noodle, Pad see Yew, Queen St noodle, Lad Na, Chicken got mad and a few other items. I like their drunken noodles the best, and curries a close second. I didn't like their Queen St noodle or Lad Na. Drinks: I have had their Thai iced tea and it is good as usual. Price: The food here tends to be on the pricier side. Service: It can be hit or miss, more often hit than a miss. read more

Foodie gem in Southington! If you're a fan of Thai cuisine, then you need to check out Somewhere in Bangkok. As a regular customer, I can confidently say that this place is my absolute favorite in town for some seriously amazing Thai food. The first thing that comes to mind is their Massaman Curry - it is perfectly balanced with just the right amount of heat and creaminess. Every time I order it, I'm always blown away by how delicious it is. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. But that's not all - the appetizers here are a must-try as well. The huge Summer Roll is packed with fresh vegetables and shrimp, and it's the perfect starter to share with your friends. And don't forget about the Green Onion Pancake - it's crispy and savory, and definitely worth ordering. Overall, Somewhere in Bangkok has some of the best Thai food in all of Connecticut. Whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout, this place never disappoints. And seriously best Massaman I've had since Thailand! read more

Cute interior, bangin' food. A little pricey, I ordered the yellow curry. Normally I'll have enough leftovers from a meal for lunch the next day, but this was a smaller portion so no leftovers for me. The curry was great, flavorful and not too spicy. I'm very excited to try their brunch, they will start a brunch menu soon and our waiter explained that it will be familiar brunch foods with a twist. I came with a party of 4 on a Friday evening, there was plenty of seating and we didn't have to wait to be served. They seem to have a lot of great dessert options too, but we were all too full to go for it this visit. Maybe next time! read more

Nowhere near enough fresh veggies in their dishes! Noodle dishes overcooked and blah tasting. Too expensive for what you get!

Gotta give it up for my parents who found this gem in Southington through their network of friends in our Asian community. There's reason why we'd drive 15-20 Min from here to come to Somewhere in Bangkok. And overall I do recommend the place. Let's go with a compliment sandwich. The aesthetic and atmosphere was super pleasing. I really liked the vibe of the place and the plating of the food. All of it was beautifully made. Food tasted good and had great flavors. My authenticity radar I had to give to my sister who studied abroad in Bangkok for six months. Her rating? Checks out. It's not the same, but she also commented on how she ate most of these meals in sweat-induced temperatures versus when it's sleeting rain outside. What I think they could work on is attention to detail, large groups, and service. All kind of go hand in hand. The times I've went with my family of four, All were just great! When we upgraded to having 2-3 families all wanting a group dinner here, the details were lost. Particularly the allergy restrictions we needed (no onion, no scallion, no shallots, and no nuts-- I know we're a complicated group) had to typically be redone. Definitely understand because we happened to be there on a night they were under staffed, but hoping it's something we see improvement on! Despite that, what brings us back? It's the crab fried rice with shredded crab (not imitation!) and enough wok hay (Cantonese term for having authentic stir fry capabilities in a dish). Additionally the crispy wonton pad Thai is something I've yet to see in other places as well. These two dishes I could order myself and be full! Honorable mentions to Thai ice tea slushees, the tom Kha Kai, and Tom Yum khoong. All are good! Since food is a 4, service was a 3, I'll still give this place a 4 if 5 stars. We'll still be back and hoping some things improve! read more

Very yummy food. We got takeout one night and it was amazing. The only tricky thing is the parking.

The wait staff is friendly, the food is awesome I have tried many dishes here and I can't say anything bad about them. We started with the summer Roll for an appetizer, it was well balanced in flavor with the shrimp, carrots, mint, cilantro and rice noodles all wrapped in delicate rice paper. For my entree I had the Queen Street Noodles Which was similar to Drunken Noodles with Udon noodles and Chinese broccoli. With a delicate sauce. I highly recommend, you won't be sorry. read more

I needed to get out of the house for a bit and the kid wanted Thai food. So since this was one of the only Thai restaurants I had not been to we opted for here. The food was good I wasn't disappointed. THIS TIME. Odd that I would write that. On a previous visit which was YEARSSSSSSS ago I ordered the drunken noodles and then they came out there was no spice at all. I was told I had to order it spicy. So years went by and I returned finally the food renews my vigor for this restaurant. Off my naughty an on to my nice list. After a meal like this you add a couple of bobas to go and it's a success. read more
