Bangkok Bangkok II

What has happened to the price of Pad Thai? Come on people this is the spaghetti and meatballs of Thai food. Granted, I am on a budget, in a non-budget friendly location…That is not to say, that I am unwilling to pay for good food. I agree with most of the previous comments. The establishment is friendly, and the atmosphere is pleasant. Nothing about the flavor stood out, good or bad. It is of course a simple dish. The takeout dinner portion was packed in a tin the size of a small paperback novel…Like the grapes of wrath, not war and peace! I have taken home bigger leftover portions. There were 3 pieces of chicken and 3 maybe 4 small shrimp. The cost with tax was over $15! I love the Gables and understand that it cost more to eat out in upscale areas. Pad Thai is what you get for takeout when you don’t want to cook, not a splurge on special occasions. If you are hungry and on a budget, I would not recommend Bangkok Bangkok II. If budget is no concern then you have probably already stopped reading…

Pros: location

Cons: price

There are four legged insects on the wall. Please avoid eating here at all costs. A group of 12 of us are now suffering from upset stomach after witnessing these horrific insects.

Pros: none

Cons: four legged friends

Wow! The food here is just absolutely, totally, completely delicious. There hasn't been a dish I've tried and haven't enjoyed tremendously. "Name that tune" is one of my favorites. Tasty, tender chunks of meat with the best sauce ever.. one of the greatest things about these dishes is that you can eat the white rice with the sauce and the taste is deserving of an entree itself. The peanut dressing is really good. Service is great, ambiance and location are great.

Pros: Great food, good service

Cons: None

I've lived in Boston, NYC and London and since moving to Miami last fall, I have been consistently dissapointed by food and/or service. Even the Blue Door at the Delano pales in comparison to the attentive, un-pretentious and kind staff at Bangkok. The food rivals some of the best Thai I've had all over the world and is served in unique and interesting ways. It was a little haven for a New Yorker who is used to great food, great service and reasonable prices. Absolutely FANTASTIC!

Pros: Attentive Service, Excellent Food, Reasonable Prices

Cons: None

Both of my recent trips to Bangkok Bangkok have been very good. The food is goood and the service has been great. The menu is well priced and it has a wonderful selection of food.

Pretty bland, especially for Thai. The food wasn't fresh and the service was spotty. Unless you're having a die hard Thai craving, this isn't worth it. The price is okay, but I will never be back. What a waste of a otherwise aesthetically pleasing space.

Pros: pretty decor

Cons: bland, stale food, parking, service

Oh, this Thai food was so good! The sauces and curries were deliciously spicy! We even had lycee fruit for dessert, virtually unheard of in other Thai restaurants we'd been to. Great atmosphere and decent prices. My friend and I went for dinner there because he had been an exchange student in Thailand 15 years ago. He agreed that the food was as he had remembered it in Thailand, and he ate the spiciest of all foods. Yum! I'm a big fan of their Thai iced tea. Enjoy!

Pros: food, parking, prices

Cons: tacky atmosphere

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT THIS PLACE IS THAT YOU GET A GREAT AMOUNT OF FOOD FOR A GREAT PRICE. THE THAI DONUTS ARE DELICIOUS
