Bangkok in Kensington and Chelsea

Being going to the Bangkok for 45 years, went on Wednesday whilst in London to find it had closed its doors, tears were shed.

this is close to the natural history museum.very thai ,i,e,friendly staff excellent food, but small place choice a bit limited.

Este es sin duda el restaurante tailandés mejores en los que he estado en Londres. Es absolutamente fenomenal. La cocina es excepcional... Sinceramente el mejor tailandés su he tenido fuera de Tailandia. He estado viniendo aquí durante años! Me pareció que era sobre la marea alta escribí una reseña para transmitir lo fantástico que es este lugar! Tuve el Tom yum bueno sopa caliente para un principiante y es simplemente divina. Seguido por el pollo con albahaca tailandesa y chili arroz hervido junto con un té verde. tiene que estar en mi top tres comidas en Londres. Es una visita obligada para cualquiera que le guste la comida tailandesa!

Mi marido y yo visitamos el Bangkok por primera vez en 10 años, ya que el sábado se había trasladado de la zona y la comida y el personal no me decepcionó. La pasta frita era increíble - no llegar hasta las 10:00h. después de un espectáculo y el espectáculo era muy servicial, aunque estábamos bastante tarde. La comida era excelente y estaba preparado exactamente como lo pedi como cambiamos un plato por menos de las especias. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente el Bangkok

ci sono stata a pranzo con amici. Piatti abbastanza abbondanti, prezzi modici, cucina thai tradizionale, bel localino con cucina a vista. Ci tornerei.

Por el número de críticas negativas en este restaurante. Fui por primera vez aquí con mi familia en los años setenta cuando la comida tailandesa era prácticamente inexistente en el Reino Unido. en Toot y su familia siempre nos sirvió genial, simples y sabrosos platos que son muy selectos, sabrosa y inusual a veces. Tengo que decir que se lo recomendaría 100% la satay de carne, la tostada tailandés sabrosa y el ajo pollo. Es bastante caro ahora sobre todo si se disfruta unas cervezas y copas de vino, pero aún así me encanta. Es, sin duda, un gran lugar para ir y me encanta la comida. Espero que disfrutes tanto como yo.

Non sono esperta di cucina tailandese ma devo dire che ho apprezzato molto i piatti che ho scelto. Il personale e' stato molto cortese. Il servizio buono. Inoltre con noi c era una persona celiaca. Lo chef e' venuto al nostro tavolo e ha consigliato personalmente i piatti a lei più adatti. Inoltre ritengo ci sia un buon rapporto qualità/ prezzo considerando anche che si tratta di un ristorante che si trova in un quartiere elegante di Londra. Da provare se piace questo tipo di cucina.

Aquí nos Topamos con un sábado por la noche y nos gustó el aspecto de un menú sencillo (supones que cuando hay sólo unos pocos platos entonces estarán bien) y desde afuera parece muy concurrida y muy bien concurrido.

El menú era bastante limitada, pero eso puede ser una buena cosa. Los platos principales fueron muy buenos. Mi gambas curry verde era excelente. El raro era que los aperitivos estaban bastante mal. Mi amigo tenía tortilla de carne. Sabía como extraño como suena. Tuve croquetas tailandeses que eran pobres. Estoy seguro de que eran tienda comprado. Lo mismo nos fuimos para la salsa mojar. La selección de vinos era muy bueno. Tuvimos una excelente Salice Salentino de Puglia para un muy razonable £20. El servicio fue bueno.

I have eaten here for over 25 years and I am never disappointed. It is not only the best Thai but also the first Thai restaurant in London. Excellent value for money. I love the place

We have always gone to the Bangkok. No matter what all the other reviews say, there are only a few things on the menu that are truly mind-blowing. The Chicken Piquant Soup is the chef's grandmothers recipe. It is honestly the best I have ever tasted in my life. The chicken satay tastes authentic, unlike the supermarket cheap versions soaked in peanut butter. The savoury thai toast, a toasted sandwich cut into small pieces, filled with spicy sausage meat, is unusual but amazing. The thai green beef curry is one of the best, so is the Fried Chicken with Garlic, and if you want vegetarian there is so much on offer.And the lychee and rum and raisin sorbets and ice creams are amazing too.Staff are always friendly, although i know it may sound bad but a few years ago the people, the atmosphere, were a little more authentic. However, we go for the food and here it is amazing.No matter what anyone says- THIS IS AN AMAZING RESTAURANT! GO THERE TODAY!

I find it hard to believe that all of the reviews of Bangkok are genuine. My husband and I ate here - I had vegetable & egg soup - which tasted like boiled vegetable water. My husband had crab & chicken soup which had bits of cut up crab stick and was more like tinned soup (but worse). For mains, we had a chicken dish - the chicken, it that is what it was, tasted like it had been cooked and re-cooked and included all the worst cuts of chicken. The prawns in the prawn dish had been boiled to within an inch of their life and had no taste. It is over-priced, terrible, terrible food. There is no atmosphere. The service was slow and erratic and there seemed to be no management or organisation whatsover. The chef looked dirty and so did the kitchen. You will regret it.

The Bangkok is a great restaurant. The food is excellent, and well priced. I' a fussy eater and I have never tasted something I don't like on their menu!

Great location, exceptional fresh food, great wine list, and a very warm friendly welcome. What more can you ask for?They went out of their way to cater for me as a Vegetarian.

Simple surroundings and small menu are not a problem, it's the quality of the food that matters.The food here was disappointing for a restaurant that has been around for decades.The chicken and crab soup was ok but the Thai fish cakes were awful, chewy and tasteless as though they had been over-zapped in a microwave.Our Thai chicken red and green curries were very average with a distinct lack of content, apart from chicken!Finally, the service, unless you were a local, was unfriendly and lacklustre.Will not be going there again.

Its not about the decor - its about the food and this place delivers consistently every time, spicy, fresh, hot if you want, just awesome. I love it there & there is nowhere like it for Thai food - believe me!

We have been going to the Bangkok for forty years and almost nothing has changed apart from the waiters, undoubtedly some of the cooks and, inevitably, the prices. The cuisine is exactly the same as it always has been, mildly spicy plates prepared in a Thai style. The food is reliably very good despite being always predictable. I have only ever once had a disappointing plate here - when the barbecued pork was very gristly - but it was willing replaced by an alternative dish. Caution is urged, however, when ordering plates as the cost soon stacks up. Alcoholic drinks are expensive. My wife and I tend to have two starters, two main plates, one plate of noodles and a pot of jasmine tea for a typical cost of around £55. The cooking is done in a cordoned off part of the restaurant behind a low partition but it is easy to peer in and see several cooks diligently preparing the meals. The place is comfortable enough but there is no atmosphere as such - the main reason to be here is to eat. It can be fun though overhearing the locals enjoying rendezvous occasions. It is not unusual to hear French spoken; it is in South Kensington after all.

I have been going to this restaurant since the late 70's. I have never had anything but a fantastic meal each time. I haven't lived in London since the 80's but still go back whenever I can. The fact that the menu hasn't changed is wonderful. The peanut sauce with the sate is incomparable. I have never tasted such a good one anywhere else. Thai rice noodles combined with chilli beef and garlic chicken is a meal made in heaven. I know that the bad reviews are definitely written by either other restaurants or some very sad people. Thank you Bangkok for never letting me down. P.S. I even sat next to Charles Aznavour once

We have been going to this restaurant since it opened many years ago,the menu is small and easy to order from.We love the fact that The Bangkok doesn't need to change the food has always been great.I hope it will always be there.

I really do not understand these reviews saying the place is expensive! I had a starter, main course, water and glass of wine for £37 (all taxes and service included). I think for London it is reasonable especially when the food is good! I don't also understand reviewers giving bad score for the fact the restaurant has not changed since the 70s! that is the best thing about it, the menu is the same and that is why you go back, no surprise, no disappointment... the service was great when we went and it is the perfect for a non stuffy meal.PS the rosé wine (for served by the glass) was excellent!

My husband and I very much enjoyed our meal at the Bangkok and felt that the service was very attentive and kind.We started with the fish cakes and the flavours were incredible! A nice heat as well, which we enjoy. We then had our mains of noodles with prawn green curry (nicely spicy) and sweet and sour pork (a 'safe' choice and just 'ok'.)Overall very good food and we liked being able to see into the kitchen as dishes were being prepared. We were also happy to see the staff cleaning down all surfaces in the kitchen as our meal was winding down (counter tops, fume hoods, cupboard doors etc.)

This place seemed buzzy & popular & the people on the next table were clearly regulars. The menu is very limited with no descriptions of ingredients or flavouring for each dish. We asked the waitress if any of the soups were coconut based as my daughter particularly likes that style of Thai soup & we were told that they weren't. Later we saw the people next to us with something that looked very similar to a coconut based soup, milky appearance. We ordered 4 starters to share. The crab & chicken soup had no flavour at all, no discernible crab or chicken & no herbs or flavourings The toast (normally prawn), was pork in this case, weird & very greasy. We had ordered chicken satay. The accompaniments arrived with all of the other food, & despite asking several times, the satay itself did not appear until we had finished everything else. It was very greasy & tasted fried. All in all, nothing was remotely authentic & we left feeling very disappointed.

Bangkok is a great little haunt in the heart of South Kensington!!! Well priced and a wide selection you know why it is always packed!!!

"You can never go back. In this case I refer to our first visit to the Bangkok in 1969. we were foodies even then, and had read about it in the Sunday Times. Britt Ekland was at a back table with two pretty boys. The food was amazing: spicy, different. Bliss was it, etc. Now it looks like a caff. At 6.30 it's where staff from Imperial and the museums stop off on the way home. The tables are way too close together, and very small. The staff were excellent. friendly, helpful, tables cleaned between each course, lots of tapwater. The food, well. Only the sate revived the memory. It tasted like it was straight off the grill. But the accompanying peanut sauce lacked any life. To try the soups was a mistake: the chicken and crab could have been cooked in Oxo; the tom yum prawn had lemon grass but little else. The Thai fish cakes could have been from Iceland. The Thai basil in the beef with crispy basil drowned out all other flavours, and wasn't crispy: the beef was tough, too. The chicken hadn't been cooked in its monolithic green curry sauce. And no vegetables in any of the dishes. It's as if the typical Thai magic of blending flavours had somehow passed the chefs by. We departed feeling much older, certainly wiser, and a lot poorer."

Bangkok Restaurant is a tiny little eatery cramped with tables and chairs so much so that the back end of your chair will always be leaning on something, a wall or the diner behind you. Not the most comfortable dining experience plus the decor is totally dated. Service was rather slow and the staff was not very attentive either. But at least the food was not a total disaster. It wasn't the best that London has to offer but certainly not the worst. In terms of value, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant. Dated & tired decor, slow service, uncomfortable seating & pricey food.

Nothing good to say about this restaurant - it's like a throwback to the seventies. That is excepting the prices which given the quality are a good few years in advance. The food is not objectionable but bland where the only spice/herb used seems to be chilli. It does feature an open kitchen which just highlights the lack of Thai chefs. From their appearance I would guess Eastern European. Likewise the serving staff being a mixture of Europeans - not a bad thing per se - but an indication of the lack of authenticity evident in the food!To cap a very disappointing evening - a pet hate of mine - the bottom line left open on the card machine after service was included in the bill. When I complained the waitress tried to defend the indefensible.

What a disappointment.We chanced on this restaurant which looked professional with a bustling open kitchen.Tired decor and a short, expensive menu.Spring rolls were very good, but the Thai green chicken curry was almost inedible - it was SO salty. We asked for the chef to be told, no response.We will not be back.

Comida tailandesa deliciosa. Eu indico para pessoas que gostam de um tempero mais forte. O atendimento é bom e o preço é acessível.

We went there for our anniversary meal, the interior decor was okay, very nice traditional wall art. The food wasn't that great considering it's price we thought to expect more out of it with very limited traditional choices on the menu. Not much traditional thai food, found a hair in my food was too nervous to cause a fuss. Not worth the price and time as they also charges us service...

Limited choice, decor is very old, staff is attentive but the quality of the food is very average. Ok for a quick bite, but the bill wasn't even that cheap. Revamp needed, desperately

Discovered this place by chance, looking around South Kensington for a restaurant (there is a big choice). We had Thai Green Beef Curry and Beef/Oyster Sauce with Green Peppers. Fabulous meals. A bit pricey though, but I guess that's London for you (we were on a short visit). I'm sorry some other folks have had bad experiences, but ours was really fine. Restaurant was busy (Wednesday), but service was very good. Would go again.

Food was average. The service was inattentive which was surprising considering that there were only two other tables occupied. Not worth the money for sure!

Shameful food; tired decor; limited menu ( thank God). The most remarkable and extraordinary thing about it are the prices !

Food was not worth what it cost us in the end! I had the Crispy Basil Beef with Chili which was very average, however, what happened to me and my sister while we were at this restaurant is what I want to focus on because you can find just as good Thai somewhere else in London. I was sitting in the back of the restaurant, unfortunately with my back to the door. They allowed gypsies in the restaurant ad stood there like idiots while my sister and I were accosted and had our cell phones stolen right in front of our yes. I couldn't believe it, not even did two men sitting by the door who obviously knew what was going on try and help us. This is obviously an unsafe area of South Kensington as we have never had this issue at any other restaurant. Keep yourself safe and don't eat here!!

This Thai is close to the Natural History Museum. Limited menu with a pretty uninspired basic choice of dishes. Service not brilliant. Expensive for what it is. You can find better.

I have been coming here since I was a child and am still impressed by it. The quality of food is second to none in respect of Thai food in London. I have never had dissappointing food and the service has always been warm and friendly. I can honestly say that this is the best Thai in London, one if not the original and still the best. I cannot recommend this place enough, please go there and see for yourself.

We have been returning to this restaurant many times over many years. Recent visit was a disappointment with service being slow and delivering wrong dishes to the table. Food was also not up to the usual standards. But no doubt we will return but hopefully to a much better experience.

I have been here several times over a 5yr period and it never fails to impress! The food is always of a high authentic Thai standard and the staff could not be more helpful. The owner is always very friendly and will give recomendations if you are unsure what to have!

Generally poor Thai food which was over priced and underwhelming in terms of flavour. Service was very average for a meal that was over £60 per head.

Une authentique cuisine thailandaise quoique assez occidentalisée.Cadre très propre. Il est agréable de voir la cuisine depuis la salle.La carte est assez réduite pour un restaurant thai (pas de desserts thai non plus).Les plats sont réalisés de manière assez honnête, gouteuse. Un peu cher par rapport aux autres thais de Londres.

Un bon restaurant thailandais dans le quartier très agréable de Kensigton.La cuisine est fine. Les aliments sont frais. Un très bon service avec de bons conseils lorsqu'on est hésitant dans le choix du menu.

We used to visit this restaurant regularly. But we had not been for ages. We always have soup to start and a few stir fried dishes with rice. This time we have chicken with thai basil and chilli and a beef with ginger dish, a veggie dish and steamed rice. It always tastes wonderful to us, and we wash it down with ice cold Singha beer. Bangkok always give you a very cold glass to pour the beer in - a very nice touch. We had a 10 year gap in visits, went back yesterday and it was as fantastic as ever. Welcoming, friendly and good service plus wonderful food - we shall be back, and won't leave it 10 years this time!

We were looking for a Thai place to have some curry and rice and found this little gem. Good service, lovely food and very reasonably priced. Wish we had been hungrier so we could have tried more things on the menu. The green chicken curry was delicious!

Food was relatively good, quite small portions. We had some soup, spring rolls, chicken and vegetables and asked for a mildish version but turned out to have hardly any taste. Vegetables and desserts were very good though. Friendly staff.

Very disappointing having been recommended this restaurant. The pork satay appetizer was the best thing we had, tender and tasty. Small Thai fish cakes were good also. The green thai chicken curry and red paste prawn curry (which they forgot to bring at first) were gaggingly sweet, as though one of the chefs had tipped some glucose in by mistake. The green thai sauce was thin too and chicken was insipid looking and tasting. Prawns watery looking. White boiled rice fine as was the fried rice. Drinks and two courses for 2 were £80, not even worth £40. Staff were not really bothered that we mentioned the over sweetness of the sauces and them forgetting one of the dishes despite the boss being nearby. No spark here. No wonder only about 5 tables were occupied at 8.15pm on a weekday night. The only thing I would say was very good-one of the staff was cleaning the filters in the kitchen meticulously.

I chose the restaurant because I'm very fond of Thai food, and I have eaten in many Thai restaurants all over Europe (and at the home of some of my Thai friends), so I have an idea what Thai food is supposed to be like. The menu doesn't offer a wide choice of dishes, but that's no problem because I prefer quality to quantity.I ordered chicken with green curry (and plain rice). They brought me a bowl with a (coconut) milky soup that contained some pieces of tasteless factory chicken meat, some bamboo sprouts and a few peas out of a can... no vegetables for the rest. Together with the rice it resulted in a sort of a liquid rice pudding with no specific taste. I think the staff could guess my discontentment as I left about half of my meal behind. The mineral water was good though... I'm sorry, but the fact that eating out in a London restaurant is rarely an inexpensive affair to begin with added to my disappointment.

In a London area full of restaurants, this one stands out by its good Thai food and typical friendly staff. we arrived close to closing hour of the kitchen (which in London is always surprisingly early) but they nevertheless served us. service was a bit rushed, we felt like we had to help washing up dishes. but the food was impeccable. a bit pricey for basic thai food. recommended.

Prima esperienza Thai, buono nel complesso. Non provato molte pietanze, solo quelle consigliate da nostri amici londinesi loro abituali frequentatori. E' simpatico frequentare quella zona anche al mattino è veramente molto bella. Fronte ristorante una fantastica gelateria.

I have been to this basic Thai restaurant on and off for 30 years. It serves especially good Thai rice noodles, thin,clean and delicious; however they need to keep an eye on changing their frying oils,as some of the fried food is tainted.The decor is hilariously bad, and lighting and tables are motorway service station awful, but for a quick,well priced Thai supper ,Bangkok is hard to beat.

It was a very busy time in the restaurant late afternoon. We politely asked if we could get our orders quickly as we had to catch a long distance train. The waitress was very nice about it, came back in a couple of minutes and assured us that they would be quick. Sure enough and the food was delicious. The portions were not big, but the quality was good. The place is small and gets crowded with not enough room around the tables, but then it is not a luxury restaurant either. Certainly worth a return visit.

Very Thai, i.e. friendly and smiling staff, excellent food. The place is small and choice a bit limited but other than that I would recommend it.

Just off South Kensington tube station, this restaurant greets you warmly. The service is attentive and discrete. The atmosphere is barely Asian except for the waitresses.The kitchen is almost completely visible from one side of the restaurant and it seems clean and well managed.The food portions are average size. The fish patties were deep fried, still dripping with oil. The vegetable spring rolls were good and the accompanying red hot sauce was a good complement.The chili ribs and thai green curry with prawns were both very good. The egg fried rice proved to be a good complement.The cost of the meal was reasonable by London standards. I would eat there again!

I used to work at Christie's South Ken and this would be where we would go a couple of times a year for a treat. Chicken soup piquant if you were coming down with a cold (or a hangover) and garlic chicken with an order of thai rice noodle. Haven't been in while so I popped in and The Bangkok is a place you can count on. Same friendly, low key service. Same great food. What can I say?

Es un pequeño restaurante tipo familiar con pequeñas mesas muy cerca una de otra que propician la conversación con el vecino.A recomendar la sopa thai, el sate, el fried chicken with Garlic, los langostinos empanados.Precios correctos

I have been going to this restaurant for over 20yrs, its so so good, the same family have had this restaurant for ever, the same standards food and service always top class.

This is a nice restaurant if you are desperate to have Thai food around Kensington, but I would not really travel to have a meal there. Simple setting with wooden tables and no table cloth, it a actually feels like you could be in Thailand. Service is ok, the menu is quite small with only the classic Thai dishes (and not all of them, like no pad Thai...). Food good, but not memorable. Service just ok. We went on Friday night and it was full, so somehow it must do something right for the area, but I don't really need to o back.

I have lives in the US for 12 years but I dined at the Bangkok weekly from 1981 until 2001 and on returning last week, I was delighted to find that the food hasn't changed and that the owner, Tut (my spelling sorry!) still goes in in the evening!! Love it. Thank you.

We decided to try Bangkok restaurant and not go, as always, to our favourite Patara and we were dissapointed. The service is good but the food is not good at all.

I usually think life too short to visit the same London restaurant twice, but this is one of few exceptions. When we lived in London, my wife and I dined here every week and we still visit after work or come down with the kids as often as we can.My father in law used to dine here in the 1960's and apparently it hasn't changed much - if it ain't broke, don't fix it - but remains, in my view, one of the finest Occidental Thai eateries there is.The staff are fantastic, and very welcoming to young children, and the food is both differentiated and off the clock (try the chicken soup piquant, for example).Long may it remain just as it is.

A nice neighborhood thai place that has been around for ages. Nothing fancy, nothing modern just simple straight-foward thai food cooked at consistantly good quality

Ristorante molto piacevole e piatti buoni, prezzi, servizio veloce e gentile! Prezzo 20€ a testa. ……………...............................................

Great thai food - the menu is quite short and sweet, great dishes - the tamarind prawns are excellent. By far the best thai restaurant locally. A wonderful place for a quick lunch or a long, lazy supper.

自然史博物館へ行く前に、子どもとランチで寄りました。ランチメニューがないので、リーズナブルではないですが、その分夜と同じメニューを楽しめます。チキンのスープと、ビーフと野菜のオイスターソース炒め、ヌードル（タイ風焼きそば）を注文しました。チキン（ひき肉）のスープは評判通り美味しく、辛いです。子供が食べられないので一人で全部飲まなければならず、途中から担担麺のスープのように思えてきましたが、頼む価値あります！ビーフの炒め物は、店員さんが辛くないと教えてくださったメニューの中からのチョイスでしたが、これはチャイニーズっぽかったかな。オイスターソースですしね。ライスなしでは塩っ気が強いですが、肉質も柔らかく美味しいです。ヌードルは、ピーナッツと甘い味付けがマッチしていて、見た目はそれほどなのですが、大変美味しいです。子供のために、チリは抜いて調理してくださり、子どもはとても気に入って、信じられないほどたくさん食べました！日本では本格的なタイ料理を口にする機会がなかったのですが、ロンドンのタイ料理は、日本にはない、本格的な味が楽しめて良いですね。ここはお勧めです。また、このお店を出た後に通り沿いの反対側にあった、自然派アイスクリーム屋さんのバニラアイスが、今までの人生で食べたバニラアイスの中で1番美味しかったことも記しておきます！自宅用に、大きな箱に詰めて買っていくリッチなおばあちゃまもいました。地元では有名なのではないでしょうか。是非このタイレストランの後に寄ってみてください！

There are a lot of mediocre ethnic restaurants near South Kensington tube station, which are best avoided. Bangkok is a welcome exception. It's up a little street near the French Lycee, which buzzes with the voices of different nationalities and hosts a regular street market. Bankok is spotless. It has small tables, friendly service and an open kitchen where three or more Thai chefs beaver away assiduously. Every dish is freshly prepared and redolent with spicy scents and flavours. We chose a piquant mushroom and prawn soup, medium spiced, followed by green Thai chicken curry with boiled rice and steamed vegetables. Simply and elegantly served in white bowls, it was utterly delicious! Lunch for two came out at just over £50 for two.

I eat out a lot, this is one of the most reliable restaurants in London, Authentic Thia food outside Thailand, its a little expensive, but I dont mind paying for quality food and first class service.

I have been going to this restaurant since the 1970s and it has hardly changed at all apart from the prices. The food is really simple and the flavours are amazing. The menu is small which is an advantage as most Thai restaurants insist on a mix and match approach to the dishes which makes for a long but uninspired list. To sum it up you won't find any carrot rosettes in this food and if you have eaten in many Thai restaurants you will know what I mean.

ogni volta che vado a londra,cerco sempre di andare da bangkok.la prima volta mi colpì moltissimo,per la qualità e varietà dei cibi,le successive non dico che siano state deludenti, ma sicuramente meno folgoranti!Molto buona la fried pasta,che di thailandese non so cos'abbia, dato che ho provato ad ordinarla sia in altri ristoranti thai,che nel mio viaggio in thailandia,senza successo.comunque il mio è un giudizio positivo,andate e divertitevi con tutti quegli starters!

I went for dinner on my own while at work driving my boss around town, i had not booked which they seamed unsure of , even though there was plenty of room , also they were perplexed by my being on my own !!I was seated in the corner which was very hot as there is no air con and even with the double doors open.10 minutes went by before i was spoken to for any order , the food came , chicken satay for my first course the chicken was very good but the sauce was not good no flavour, i then had sweet sour pork egg fried rice and mixed veg all of which sadly were very bland , not what you would expect from Tai .The sauce tasted just like Heinz tomato sauce mixed with HP brown sauce very oddThe service was none existent with not asking me at all about anything even when i paid all very sad!I would not return

Glad we found this place, just off the main busy Kensington streets, good location, and just what you need after a busy day at the museums or shopping. Lived in Asia for a number of years and thoroughly enjoyed this place, decor was played down, not many frills (just the way an asian restaurant should be, it's all about the food). Interesting mix of thai and chinese dishes, all tasted great, reasonable enough price for the area.Service was quick even though it was busy, not the friendliest, but I've come to expect that, so it wasn't too much of a let down. Overall, nice experience and would definitely go back.

Been going here on and off since 1990.Reliable Thai restaurant . Small menu, all food simple and well cooked. No frills, but honest.

I have frequented this restaurant many times over the years after being introduced by a good friend and whilst the service has varied from excellent to ok'ish, the food has remained consistently good. If like me, you are fed up of restaurants that offer a diluted or over elaborate version of thai food, this restaurant is really old home style thai cooking and has a variety of dishes to suit, whether you favour your food spicy or less so.

Buon Thai in zona South Kensington. Simpatici gli starters e buone le zuppe. Deludente il green curry che di green aveva davvero poco. Avevano ecceduto con il latte di cocco e quindi risultava troppo bianco e poco saporito. Giudizio complessivo comunque soddisfacente. Personale gentile. Prezzo 30 euro a testa con birra.

Comment dire c'est un endroit avec une bonne ambiance et un personnel sympathique.La cuisine y est vraiment excellente et raffinée, le patron est même venu nous conseiller les plats et ses choix était vraiment vu juste!!!! J'y retournerai avec grand plaisir!!!!

The good thing about this place is that the interior looks nice. Apart from that I quite don’t understand why some people are raving about it.The menu offers a very limited choice of dishes. It is all in English so if you know about Thai food, it is hard to figure out what dish is what. Then, asking for something not on the menu as simple as Tom Kha is not possible. Krapaw goong, which really should be on the menu was feasible after some negotiations but the results looked remotely like Krapaw Goong... Fish takes 25 minutes to prepare but at least you are warned. No Thai desert there but a choice between two types of can fruit. Service is fast and efficient but food is unremarkable. Overall, it is hard to recommend this place. Bangkok it is not...

I visit London once a year and found myself returning to Bangkok Thai each time. I enjoy the cleanly preparded food which they take extra care with to cater for my allergies. The wait staff are very helpful and the food arrives in a timely manner. It does get very busy and noisy at peak times. Despite the economy this restautant has retained its appeal due to its merits.

They have a new cook now so they are not good any longer... shame.

Setting is basic and functional. Bright and light but with good photos. Enjoyed starter of Tom Yum Soup which was well spiced. Main course ordered thai green chicken curry which we did not enjoy since the meat was predominately red thigh meat and no breast. At the end of the meal the kitchen told us that it was possible to specify before the type of meat you would like. Did not appear like quality meat had gone into the dish. Bill was higher than we were expecting including a 12.5% service fee (versus 10%). Staff were friendly and apologetic. Would not return nor recommend to others.

We've become regulars to this small S. Kensigton Thai restaurant. Great food, friendly and effecient service and right across the street from great gelato. Makes for a fun evening out. This is a regular stop when we have visitors in from out-of-town, there is always something for everyone.

We were looking for a Thai restaurant after a day if touring and our tour guide recommended this inconspicuous spot. Our food was simply wonderful. The Thai noodles were incredible as was the beef with fried basil and peppers. Prices were very reasonable by London standards with many dishes under £10. I would highly recommend this restaurant for Thai food.

We visted the Bangkok with friends after an ejoyable exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, It was our first visit in over 20 years having eaten there often when living nearby. It was great to find the place is still serving reliably good Thai food in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Our chicken satay, thai fish cake and spring roll starters were very good and we followed this with some chicken red curry, a prawn stir fry, pork with ginger, thai noodles, stir fried vegetables and rice - and finished with jasmine tea. The red curry was particularly good, but all dishes had clear flavours and good, authentic spicing. The service was friendly and efficient - including warning us about the hottest of our menu choices and offering us an extra spring roll on the portion (of 3) so that we had one each. The decor is calm and dark and there is currently a nice collection of photos from Indochina on the walls. The menu is unfussy, short(ish) and just in English and the white wine and Thai beer we had with our food was reasonably priced and well served. The place was busy but found us a table - it was clearly full of local regulars.

we had dinner here one night would not recommend at all .

Tasty Thai food and fair choice (but no duck). Good service and very good pricing.

The Bangkok is a great restaurant. The food is excellent, and well priced. I' a fussy eater and I have never tasted something I don't like on their menu! The food is not fancy and it is not a glamourous restaurant, so casual dress is fine. But it is elegantly decorated and cosy (they have stunning National Geographic-style photos of Thailand around the room). It is always filled with regulars. The service is excellent and the staff are very friendly, welcoming and polite. I love this place.
