If you are craving great, authentic Thai food, give Bangkok Street Food a try. The restaurant is not big, maybe roughly 12 tables. Service is great and waitstaff check up on you periodically. Here's what we ordered, everything is served "family style" so plenty for sharing. 1. Drunken Noodle (Pad Kee Mao) $15.95? Spicy, stir-fried flat rice noodles with your choice of meat (we picked chicken and beef & pork are available for an additional fee) chili, garlic, basil, onion, bell pepper, carrot and tomato. You can pick your level of spicy and we went with spicy. 5/5 2. Crying Tiger $18.95, Thai style grilled beef. Served medium rare with spicy tamarind sauce. This was definitely my favorite. The meat was tender with a bit of fattiness, oh so good. 5/5 3. Thai Boat Noodle Soup $16.95, a savory herbal broth with pork rinds, beansprouts, Chinese broccoli, choice of noodles and choice of beef or pork, topped with fried garlic, green onion, and cilantro. The broth was a bit on the saltier side for me. But overall a great, savory soup. 4/5 I look forward to additional visits because there are so many more dishes that I want to try.

Nice place for Thai food in Bakersfield. Spring rolls were overstuffed and the only real miss, as…read morethey seemed to be more lettuce than anything else. One of the fried chicken (popcorn chicken?) entree plates was also a bit overcooked. However we had quite the spread of other dishes, from pad thai to som thum, and everything else was pretty on-point. It's not going to compare to what you get in Thailand or even Thai Town in Los Angeles, but considering you're all the way out in Bakersfield, this place is quite solid, even down to the vibe and decor inside-- entirely fitting, quite comfortable, and with a little bit of timing/coordination, they handled our large group well too.

I ask for medium spice and though it could be a bit spicier, it's still so delicious! The pineapple rice was a large serving! I lived the crunch the cashews added.

I was craving some Thai food, so we thought of swinging by Blue Table for a delicious Thai dinner…read more When you walk inside the host stand is positioned at the back of the restaurant. We waited for a little bit for them to clear off a table and were seated quickly. It's a simple layout inside. They have enough seating to nicely fill the space. And a TV hung up that was playing The Super Mario Galaxy Movie at the time, which was fun to have on. The service at this restaurant was fantastic! Our server was very attentive, sweet, and made sure to check in on us at different points during our meal. The great thing about the meal is that it's family style! We ordered the yellow curry and the pineapple fried rice. When the meal came out, they handed us separate plates for each of us to serve the portion we wanted. I only experienced a couple of negatives when it came to the food and that was: 1. The yellow curry was so delicious and had a nice coco-nutty flavor, but it felt like a few too many potatoes and not enough chicken. 2. The pineapple fried rice lacked pineapple. I love a few pineapple chunks in my fried rice but this had more of the pineapple flavoring and none of the actual fruit. Now, these aren't as much negatives as they are dish preferences. Everything still tasted solid and we left with our Thai food craving satisfied! Btw, make sure when you visit not to sleep on their dessert. The dessert is the best part! I absolutely love their sweet sticky rice with coconut ice cream. They add peanuts on top of it and it's incredible. Definitely go and check them out!

Servers were flying around all night but still sweet and attentive. Pad see ew 9/10 - Standard, does the job. Got it with beef and it was exactly what you'd expect. Nothing to complain about, nothing to rave about either. Tom kha 9/10 - Coconut forward and loaded with veggies. This one was delicious. The broth alone you'd want to drink straight from the bowl. Panang beef short rib 9/10 - Got way more short rib than we anticipated which was a pleasant surprise. Awesome dish, the panang was rich and had great depth. Fried chicken 8/10 - Good amount and impressively tender for chicken breast. The tamarind dipping sauce ties it all together nicely. Dumplings in panang 6/10 - Tasted like standard dumplings but served in panang curry which is an interesting combo. Not sure if this is a common Thai thing but it works, just didn't blow us away. Blue Elephant fried rice 9/10 - Well seasoned, savory, and honestly awesome. One of the better fried rices I've had. Would definitely come back, maybe on a quieter night to actually enjoy the space.

She was cheerful, kind and attentive. We shared the Tom Kah soup with chicken, the Pad Thai with pork, and the Cashew chicken. Every dish was delicious and beautifully plated.

Soft music in the background. If you haven't tried them I recommend you do so.

They are closed on Sundays...there has to be a trade off. This place has a very authentic feel and smell. I was instantly transported to a small cafe I visited in Asia. It was amazing and is definitely where the 5 stars comes from. Many may see this as a hole in the wall or super basic, but I really see it as authentic and very cheerful. It is on Chester right next door to Jerry's Pizza. We arrived close to 9pm but we were not rushed. They seemed to genuinely want to take care of us and make sure we had a wonderful meal. We really appreciated their attention. We were mindful of the time and did not want to be there too late, but they were happy we were there. There were many other late night diners and several who stopped in to pick up and go. This is a well loved place! We split the Pad Thai dinner and there was plenty for 2. It was very tasty and not overdone on the peanut flavor. it was just right. We also split an order of the crab Rangoon. They had those packed and the sauce was so wonderful. I am dreaming of the next time we can grab some to go or stay and enjoy their sweet place.

I have proudly taken people there because it felt like a magical secret for years and loved watching the family work so hard and cohesively to make a one of a kind menu. However, TODAY sadly I picked up a work lunch order went had it to my peers within ten minutes. These were two people have never been before so I was excited for them to try it. I left and within an hour became violently ill and have not been able to keep anything down. I texted my peers about 30 mins ago and found out they were in the same situation. I just called the restaurant to let them know and one of the middle aged women answered first. I explained the situation and did not ask for a refund. I was just so disappointed that this happened and wanted them to know there is a cross contamination situation. She put me on hold and then the eldest patriarch picked up to argue with me, told me I needed to bring in proof from the ER and that I just wanted a refund. I never asked for a refund!!!! I was communicating out of real concern because I love the place. Now my peers will never return and neither will I. I am beyond heartbroken and disappointed in the decline and the reaction I got.

It was a delicious meal, all the proteins were well cooked and it was seasoned perfectly.

The Thai Tea was fantastic as well, you can't really go wrong with Thai Tea. I finished the meal with one of their mango ice cream macaroons and I really enjoyed that as well. The shell was nice and crispy and complimented the sweet mango ice cream perfectly . It was a really great first experience and has me excited to head back one day to try out some of their seafood.

There were plastic chairs and tables. Plenty of seating available. People seemed to trickle in around the early evening. When I walked in they didn't have a line, so there was no wait. I ordered the Shrimp Spring Rolls (with Beef) that was on their menu board. I think it was deli meat, which was ok, but not what I had expected. Tasted how you imagine. Even though I had it packaged "to-go," I chose to eat it inside while I waited on my friend to arrive. The lady behind the counter was very attentive and when she saw my sauce was low, she offered to refill it. I do wish the sauce had a stronger peanut flavor. Overall, it was decent.
