Found a hair in my pad thai noodles and they gave me another one - fine... but it tasted like they made it with ketchup. It was overly sweet, and not like any decent Pad Thai noodle that I've ever had before. I guess we shouldn't have ignored that giant B rating in the window. Definitely won't be returning. read more

Went here for lunch with some co-workers, as it's close to my office. I had the Pad Thai with chicken. It was very good and flavorful. As others have said, the service can be a little slow, but we didn't mind. With a lunch entree and sharing of an appetizer, the bill came to 10-11 dollars a person. Not bad, and we were all full! Several people could not even finish their lunch, and had to take theirs home with them. read more

Liz J described it fairly well. The people there are quite courteous, but quite unfortunately, the food was barely mediocre. Stay far away from any of their more expensive dishes. They seem to stock very low quality salmon, and even lower quality tuna. These are not sushi grade items by any stretch. Stick with the basic chicken or shrimp dishes, and you'll find the quality as good as your average Chinese take out, possibly worse. I gave them three chances, and only once was it acceptable. The other two experiences would very disappointing. I wish I could say I only patrnized the place once, but on three different occasions, they failed to deliver. I'm not sure who is actually rating this place 4-5 stars, let alone 3. Perhaps Houlihan's is fine dining to some of those folks. read more

I've tried most of the places around and this is the best Pad Thai I've had in the area. The Green Curry was excellent as well. It was a little on the expensive side, but excellent quality! read more

We're lucky to live close by, so this is our "go to" restaurant when we're too tired to cook. The Thai dumpling appetizers are a favorite of ours, my wife likes the Pad Thai Chicken, and there's always something interesting on the Specials board. The last special I had was Thai Paella, which is seafood paella with Thai spices. I love Spanish Valencian paella, and this was even better (except I wished I had some Red Sangria to go with it.) The staff is always friendly and the service is very good ( never a long wait between courses .) If alcohol were available I'd give this place a 5 star, being BYOB makes it a little less convenient as some planning is necessary ( and it's kind of hard to bring Sangria with you.) For the price you can't beat it! Update: The more we eat here the more we love it. Upgrading to 5 stars. FYI the Foodtown down the street has a very good selection of wine and beer, so a brisk walk (remember to cross at the crosswalks) will get you your drink of choice. read more

Best Thai in Caldwell area! Thank you

Thai style chicken wings are to die for! And the owner is super nice. Definitely will be back!

I love the food at Bangkok Kitchen. I am old and set in my ways, so I order the same three things all the time, but I know what I'm getting and they are reliably delicious. The wait staff is always lovely and attentive. Every time I go there, they are busy, but I've rarely had to wait for a table, which is a big plus. I do have a little issue with the current decor. My husband and I went for lunch a few months ago, and the charming photographs and the blackboard that used to be along the west-facing wall were replaced by a big obnoxious board advertising the specials. I think it may have actually been a white board with pictures. They also put this sort of thing in the menu. It was jarring. The place is otherwise decorated in such a calm, serene manner, and it was just really out of place aesthetically, like turning on an HDTV in a yoga class. read more

So, hey, new to town and checking out the action on Bloomfield avenue so a friend and I ducked into this joint. The atmosphere was nice. Classy'ish, you can have a conversation and it didn't smell like Cloverleaf a few doors down. Chicken satay was less than average and the satay sauce could be renamed weaksauce as it was creamy and just did not deliver. The kao pad was good, but the pad Thai wasn't. Service was good and I'd give it another shot. Cook could have just had a bad night. read more

Wanted to try something new with the boyfriend so we came here for dinner. It was wonderful! byob too :) read more

B K Thai - chicken pad thai, delicious! - Thai Near Me - Caldwell, New Jersey

We have been going to this restaurant for years. The staff is so friendly. The decor is pretty...different from anything else in the area. Their steamed dumplings are out of this world. Their spring rolls and pad Thai are great too. Never had a bad lunch or dinner here! Highly recommend. It's a BYOB and there's parking behind the building. read more

Yumm! I live in town and love to go there. All the BBQ items on the menu are great. I love the Thai BBQ chicken. An entire half of chicken grill to perfection. I wish they would leave the chicken head on, lol!! :P After stuff yourself with this no head chicken, please.....please do yourself a favor, try the ginger napoleon. I can make it better because.......I can =P, however theirs is pretty damn good!!!! read more

Very dissapointed after hearing good things about this place. Table was dirty, service was slow, food was mediocre at best..worst part, a few roaches on the floor circling our table...if they only knew how bad the food was, they would have walked out the front door. read more

Great place. Food is delicious and won't break your wallet. The place isn't that big, but you can tell alot of effort went into the motiff and design of the restaurant. Just imagine how much thought the chef put into making the food. Judging by my taste buds... alot! The wait staff is friendly and made BK an inviting place to come back to. Very nice. read more

Best thai food in the area. Love the owners - they treat you very well. When it gets a bit crowded though, it does take long to get your food. Overall, a great place - will be back again very soon. read more

The food was good. But I had way better food. I was watching the waitress attend the other table. She was asked about the Thai pizza and it's ingredients. Well she didn't know. She was also on her phone a lot and was not discreet about it. The tea was blah. Maybe well go back just maybe. read more

I've only eaten here once but the food made an immediate impression. Tip: skip the apps, spring rolls were soggy and tasteless, dumplings aka shumai are terrible- salty and some weird mixture on top. Both dishes were cold although i picked it up as they brought it out. Entree of musaman curry was tasty but not very good. Should've gotten the hint as soon as I saw it was the only empty restaurant on Bloomfield. read more

Spotless clean and tastefully furnished! We watched a waitress patiently explain specials to an elderly couple who had trouble reading the board across the room and understanding what some things were. She provided friendly and helpful suggestions. I am Thai newbie so I can't truly judge the authenticity of food, but it was very tasty. Definitely will come back when I am in the area. read more

The food was unremarkable. The cockroaches climbing up the walls in the dining room were the nicest part of our meal.

Bangkok Kitchen is pretty good. Parking is a pain and I really wish they delivered.

The tables were old, menus stained with sticky food, and the whole place had an old mop smell. Everyone liked their lunch entrees though ($8) and drinks. The Thai ice tea was a little different than we were used to. The Ra Ma Shrimp flavor was very good. Didn't like the hard eggplant and stringy ginger pieces in it though. My friend was pleased with the Pineapple Fried Rice wt Chicken. The Iced Green Tea was the best. Vegetable dumplings ($6) were like rubber which made then inedible. Even though we didn't eat any of them, they wouldn't take it off the bill. read more

I love this place as it's local and the quality is always a given. The service is a bit choppy as the waitress always seems as though she is in a rush and she doesn't give you a second to finish your sentence before she's rushing off. That was a little frustrating, but the most important detail, the food, is on point. I have had dinner and lunch here and can say that all the offerings are wonderful. I recently ordered the shrimp basil box and was very impressed with amount of food and the selection you get for the price. Everything was fresh and delicious! The dumplings are also very good as they are steamed and not too filling as a prelude to your entree. The specials are also very versatile, so there's always an interesting selection to choose from. I'm not a huge fan of really spicy foods as I don't particularly like my nose to be running profusely while I'm trying to eat. They are really good at adjusting the spice to your particular needs which I appreciate. It's BYOB, so don't forget to bring your booze. Parking is fairly easy to get on the street but can be challenging on a weekend evening. Enjoy! read more

I gave four stars because they don't have coconut rice which I love oh so much. If they added this to the menu, they would totally be five stars. Their thai Iced tea is very yummy and they have very good food. They also have great decor and service. A fun place to go for a date or with girlfriends and a bottle or two of wine ;) I like to get their take out as well. read more

Well, I am not a fan of bringing your own alcohol, but this place is an exception! Omg! My hubby brought some specialty beers (choc beer,banana beer and one from a monastery)Which was walking distance. Great start, lol. This place is so different and loved the atmosphere. The waitress takes your drinks and pours them for you first. Then, the menu is out of this world with so many diff things. The Chicken appetizer just melted in your mouth. I ordered the Sea Bass, my husband got a curry dish, omg, YUMMO. It's not chinese food but it is? Maybe Thai? Very Very fresh. The service is fantastic and I will definetely go back REAL SOON. read more

the food was good, and the space was sweet! all the rich spices you expect of Thai food. The usual complement of dishes is available. There are other Thai restaurants in the area, but I don't think they are nearly as good. read more

I have tried Thai food in many places in new jersey and NYC. This is not even a decent place. The service was lax, we waited for 10 minutes before we got the menu and then needed to flag down a person to take the order. There were couple of different vegetarian dishes, as we are vegeterians. We started off with the veggie dumplings, they were cold and the shell was somewhat hard and rubbery. Then moved onto, veggie basil broad noodle and veggie stir fry, both were OK, better prepared then the dumplings. The only really good thing is that its BYOB and that there is a liquor store down the road. I won't be returning here. read more

Almost everything on the menu is gluten free. Almost everything has soy sauce though. Parking is hard to find.

They have packed it in. Used to be the best. Not sure what happened but they should wonder why 7:30 on Saturday they used to be packed and now empty. I've never seen a place slip so much. I was a loyal customer for years...now......never again. read more

Me and my wife live in Caldwell so we decided to give this place a try. It isn't authentic Thai not even close I didn't see no one working there that was Thai. The food is over priced and not very good. We ordered Panang curry, they gave us a breaded chicken breast separate from the curry, and we got drunken noodles also VERY Greasy and over cooked. read more

Great people, really nice wait staff. Unfortunately, that is where the accolades end. From my two experiences there, the food is fairly bland (I've had the pad cee ew, vegetable dumplings, and ma ra chicken). Unfortunately, they just all missed the mark. Even though I asked for spice, there was literally none and it needed a lot of my after market spice to get it up to snuff. It was also lacking garlic? Weird. read more

Appetizers was Sprint roll (4 Pieces) And Dumpling (6 Pieces) both were good and Fresh! The Fried rice was OK! The PAD-THAI do NOT order. They needs a class in Pad Thai 101! Also got Red Thai Curry...It was Good but the guy got us Veg instead of Chicken! The place was decent. I had to send two plates back because it was dirty! :-/ read more

The service in this place is horrible. The food isn't to die for. You need to check Topaz in Belleville its the best!

While I would definitely go back here again, I went 1 for 2 in my food selection my first time. Steamed vegetable dumplings were very good, and the sauce they came with was excellent. The vegetable soup was just OK, with not much flavor. Reasonable prices, and nice atmosphere. Will try again. read more

I would have given this place five stars a few years ago but the food is insanely inconsistent. The shrimp is not always fresh. The Pad Thai is a disappointment too often. I continue to go back in hopes that it will be like it use to be but there is a problem every time now. My shrimp tonight wasn't good, the flavor in the dish was off, they run out of string beans all the time, the take out takes way too long and frankly it's not worth it nor enjoyable. I don't think we are going back this time. read more

I ended up here on a last minute hunt for good thai. Didn't know there was such a great restaurant in my own backyard! Bangkok Kitchen was delicious, fast, fresh, and priced reasonably. We got an appetizer and 2 entrees + tip = $40. The decor would fool you into thinking you were on the LES. Loved everything about the place and will be going back in the future. read more

The meal I had here was the first time ever that I had Pad Thai sitting in a pool of broth. The Beef Salad was seasoned correctly, but it came with 6 small morsels. Real Thai Beef salad is basically a plate of really spicy beef sitting on a small pile of greens. This was neither. This is what a good Thai Beef Salad looks like: http://www.templeofthai.com/recipes/thai_beef_salad.php read more

The food here is always great, the atmosphere seems as authentic as you will get, and the host and staff are always great. Highly recommend trying it. Especially the Thai Dumplings. Bring your own wine, however, as they do not have a liquor license. read more

Food is great! Steamed Thai dumplings are amazing! We ear here at least two to three times a month.

I'm guaranteed to get Bangkok Kitchen at least once during every weekend visit to Caldwell! My favorites include: pad see ew, veggie pad thai, rama vegetables, and pad khing! All delicious! Great service, fresh food, Bloomfield ave location! Street parking is often available, plus the side streets nearby have ample parking. Takeout from here usually lasts 2 meals, another plus! read more

Since this restaurant has opened I have eaten there at least 3 times a month - and I have NEVER disliked a meal! Their Pad Thai is perfect - they simply have the BEST Massamum chicken and Sprint rolls! Many of us from work love to go for lunch - so much so they know our name and flavor! I cannot say enough about this restaurant - other then please NEVER change!!! read more
