I love Thai food. Today, I visited an exceptional Thai eatery- Café de Bangkok. This was a surprisingly fresh, unique and authenticate restaurant. The location is on E Gilbert Rd, just south of N Houston Ave.The restaurant is fairly simply, but with plenty of tables. The restaurant is well staffed, which is a nice change from most restaurants in the post covid era. When I arrived, they seated me immediately.I ordered shrimp wonton soup for the appetizer. It came out and was sizzling, literally. The metal bowl with the wonton soup was centered with an oil lamp which kept the soup hot. The lamp burned out in a few minutes, keeping the soup hot while we enjoyed it. It was simple wonton, which wrapped shrimp, and the broth was enhanced with fresh bok choy. At $17 it was unique, but at this price, only reasonable for purchase in a meal on special occasions.For the main course, I ordered three items: Jumbo Fried rice, Penang curry, and garlic & pepper pork. The jumbo fried rice was a dazzling dish of beef, pork, and shrimp slices amongst fried rice, egg, carrots, onions, cheese, peas and tomatoes. It was expensive (nearly $20), but sizzling and wonderful.The second dish, pengang curry beef, was nicely spiced but not spectacular. I would say the flavor was flat in terms of its texturea and the beef was dry. This was my least favorite of the dishes. I would not order this again with beef. Chicken might be a better match for this curry.The last and final dish we enjoyed was the Garlic Pepper dish. Normally served with beef, I had it made with pork, which was brilliant, juicy and spicy (i had this with 4 level spiciness). The amount of pepper, zestieness of the garlic and juiciness of the pork made this a stellar selection. At $16 this was my favorite dish.The staff was fast, courteous, and helpful. The prices were reasonable. The presentation was surprisingly brilliant. The tastes were excellent. I will return.
My bf and I love Cafe de Bangkok. We go often and love experimenting with their menu, but we always get a soup noodle dish. It's just like Pho, delicious and a huge serving. We've tried their curry dishes and recently had Lemongrass Chicken that was so good. We usually get spice level 3, but have had 4, too.The owner is very nice. The staff is friendly and prompt. I highly suggest eating at Cafe de Bangkok or ordering take out.
Amazing lunch date at this most authentic Thai restaurant in the valley. Everything they served here is like 100% on point compared to what we've tasted in Thailand. They also have roti bread (roti prata) and curry puffs which also our favorites Malaysian/Singaporean foods. Owner and employees are friendly and respectful. Clean and cozy environment. We will definitely be back and bring more friends with us each time!
I read the reviews and we went here to try the food out. This is one of the best Thai places I’ve ever had. The food was flavorful and the ingredients were of good quality. The waiter had good suggestions and taught us about food history, what was different about their food, and what dishes are served to the king of Thailand. Everyone liked the food and experience and we will visit this place again! I highly recommend cafe of Bangkok.
The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and taught my son how to pronounce the dish he was ordering. The food was GREAT. Highly recommend. This may be my new go-to Thai spot!
The dishes we ordered were delicious! They were very busy so waits were longer than I like, but at least the quality of the food was worth it.
I've tried pad thai from many places and this is the best it's ever been. There is another spot that comes really close but this one edges it out for sure. The flavor and presentation are fantastic and the toppings around the side are plentiful. This (Bangkok pad thai) comes with both chicken and shrimp and had multiple shrimp. Other places usually only put 2 pieces and chicken, this one contained at least 4, possibly 5 large shrimp. I got the thai hot spice level and while it didn't hit the upper levels of my spice tolerance (I'm a chilie head and spice chaser) it offered a quality burn that would be too hot for most people, so tread light if you find hot sauce like El yucateco too hot. They offer another pad thai option that is wrapped in a thin thai omelet that I will try on my next visit. This place is out of my way but will absolutely come again.
Best Mongolian Beef and rice I have ever eaten! I will absolutely return to this place. The quality of the food is incredible. Do yourself a favor, try this place. Be kind to each other.
