| - Damn good Thai food, probably your best bet on the east side. Service is attentive, timely, and friendly. Prices are just right. Decor is surprisingly quaint and welcoming given the unbecoming exterior.
We ordered pad thai and mango curry with chicken. There is a lot of talk about Bangkok Thai having some of the best pad thai on the east side, and after having eaten here a couple times, I'd say the hype is legit. It's hard to get the combination of flavors just right with pad thai, but I think Bangkok nails it or at least comes closer than anything on Coventry or Lee. The portions are pretty good too.
As for the mango curry with chicken, I think it stole the show for me. I rarely deviate from my usual, safe order of pad thai, and I am not a fan of Thai curry in general, but after tasting my girlfriend's mango curry, I traded my beloved pad thai with her and proceeded to inhale the rest of her dish. Easily the best mango curry I've tried anywhere, and it was a couple bucks less than other restaurants.
I think I found a winner here, and I'll be back to try more menu items.
Protip: Try the Singha Thai beer. It just became my new favorite beer.
