Bangkok Bistro - Lunch special. Prawns. Pad Thai. Red curry chicken over rice. Boom!!! And a Chang beer - Thai Near Me - Burlington, Washington

I'd never been here until yesterday. Didn't know it was order online & pickup, so just walked up to the drive-thru window. The window quickly opened by a wonderful smiling gentleman named Ed. He was so friendly and helpful. I picked the Pad Ke Mao and a Phad-Thai. He asked me where I parked and I pointed to the lot on the other side of the building. He let me know he'd bring the food right out as soon as it was ready. In about 8 minutes he walked up to my car and handed me a super heavy bag with my food in it. I couldn't wait to taste the dishes before heading home so I sat and opened each box. To say that I was surprised by the quantity of food would be an absolute understatement. It was hot, fresh, smelled amazing, and my first bites were epic! The food was by far the very best Thai I've had around here. The flavors were balanced, the noodles were perfection, and everything was ultra fresh. I pulled up to the drive-thru to see the owner again and pay he and his wife a much deserved compliment. Their food and kindness superseded my every expectation. What wonderful people and food, definitely worth it. The next time I'm craving Thai this is my new go-to spot. read more

The high reviews had me excited about trying this place. I found it mildly disappointing. Perhaps I'm spoiled by all the great Thai restaurants in Seattle. The flavors were OK. I was very disappointed in their tofu. It felt like it had been sitting in the refrigerator, and then tossed into the wok. It didn't taste like it had been prepared fresh. I ended up tossing out half of the meal. I appreciated the drive up window for takeout food. The staff was friendly and kind. I also found it a little expensive for the quality. Of course, with inflation, everything feels a little spendy these days. read more

My Pad Thai had an overwhelming amount of sugar and was very difficult to eat after a while. It has excellent flavor but I have never had it this disturbingly sweet. I took breaks in between eating but every bite was gooey and a glucose mess. I really hope the chef reads this and sees that more isn't always better! Please tone it back. The Pad See Ew was very delicious and hit all the right notes, was very pleased with it. He ate just about all of it but the portion was so big he couldnt quite finish it. And the spice accuracy was perfect. I can't stress enough that this has too much sugar. I don't think I can eat the leftovers. The flavor was so good and I'm quite sad, but the sweetness ruined it. read more

This is a take out only Thai restaurant, and it also has some outside seating with umbrellas. There is a takeout window that you can either drive or walk up to. You can also call ahead for easy pick up. The owner is incredibly friendly and makes delicious food. The portions are also enormous. My husband and I could've easily split one entree but I am happy to have a late night snack and lunch for tomorrow. We ordered the Pad Kee Mao and the mussumun curry and both were really good, but the curry was my favorite. We really enjoyed it here and we're glad we found it! read more

Let down. Sauce or paste way too tangy on the pad Thai, and the nodded were kinda stuck to each other and tasted over cooked. Weren't the nicest when I tried to do substitution. And if you state no substitution on lunch specials that gives the impression that it is possible le on non lunch special. Positive though it is a pretty good portion size that they give. read more

Bangkok Bistro - Tofu Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Burlington, Washington

Last few times I've been here it was alright but in the past it gave me food poisoning. Service was alright very quick. Not very many people in when I come to grab my food read more

Some of the best, most authentic Thai food I've had outside of Thailand !! Their spice levels are explained carefully to first time visited there, and their service and kindness are a welcoming invitation to come again ! read more

This is a review for their Booth at the lavender festival. The pad Thai was really noodles and tamarind sauce and was cold, and for $10? If you're gonna get people to come to your restaurant at least make some small effort to not rip us off or at least make some decent food for the public read more

I love pad thai. I usually don't have a hard time finding great flavors for the noodles but it's the shrimp that I get in it that always seems to be an issue everywhere but here! The flavor was great and the shrimp were cooked perfectly! read more

The food is amazing and the staff is phenomenal! The owner is a gem and handled our big to go order really well. Love the little outside seating area as well. :-) read more

The service is spot on! We called ahead for pickup and you already know they came thru within 15 mins. The servings are mad worth it! We got the Pad Thai and Pad See Ew. So much leftovers, I really had lunch and dinner. Lowkey, the noodles were a little too mushy for me and the Thai iced tea was too sweet for my taste. No big deal, just ask for light sugar next time. Recommend this place! Pull up read more

Bangkok Bistro - Pad Thai with chicken 2 star - Thai Near Me - Burlington, Washington

Fantastic curry! Ordered the tropical red curry with chicken, Thai beef salad and Tofu Phad Thai. Each was superb. They provide take out only. You call ahead and order, and then pick your food up at a drive through window. So easy. Portions are large and three dishes with tax about $20 each. Worth every penny. You need to order rice with your curry and it is a separate charge. read more

Love this place. Pad Thai is awesome. I've never been a fan of Pad Thai because it always smells like puke to me. Well, if you suffer from Pad Thai smelly Puke syndrome like me then don't worry any longer. You can put some Bangcock in your mouth. It's delicious. read more

How quaint! Dinner time called and since my co-worker hasn't ventured much into "exotic" foods, we decided to come here... He got fried rice. It's a nice evening and the sunset shines inside quite nicely. The family staff is nice (the daughter seating us and the dad doing orders) and friendly. The wife seems to own it but the dad was out helping and he was fun to chat with regarding his worldly ventures for his own business. I got the Garlic Supreme... it was great. I wish I'd tasted the garlic better, if much was there. I noticed a small hair in it towards the end; I brought it to their attention but I wasn't sure if it was me or them. And to finish, the Thai Iced Tea was awesome - the ice was shaved / shriveled / crushed, too! I've always had the cubes. Mmmm. It was dead in there but a to-go order was picked up for over $50. Sweet. read more

It's the best Thai ever! Go there, you'll be so glad you did. Love the owner and the whole staff, they make you feel like family, it's amazing. The pad Thai is excellent as is the Masuman curry. Actually, everything I've had had been super amazing. The outside is kinda small, but inside it's cozy. read more

So good! We are very glad we ignored the bad yelp reviews and trusted the good. The Thai Ice Tea--really good! The Phad Thai wasn't the best I've had, but it was ok. The curry-wow. Amazing! We had the Tropical Beef Curry, 3 star. The rice had to be ordered separately. I also got the Keemoe. Very flavorful! It looks like a dive and was rather cold inside, but the food was well worth eating here. Want good atmosphere? Get it to go. The service was great and we learned they get their curry straight from Thailand, their noodles fresh from Seattle, and their veggies from local grocery stores. Highly recommend! Wish we lived closer. BYW, the portions were huge! read more

Found this on yelp and reviews were decent so decided to try. To start with I tried Pad Thai which was decent but then the downward journey started !! I ordered a vegetarian Massanan curry which was served to me after 20 mins and that too with Chicken !!! When I brought this to the notice they offered to make another one, this time I ordered red curry which tasted really bad ... never had a curry tasting like that, believe me I have been to many Thai restaurants. read more

Currently drive through only. Friendly service and tasty food. Shout out to the Tom ka soup. Been multiple times and everything has been delicious. read more

I called and confirmed they are no longer offering inside dining, Takeout only. One of the best Thai restaurants in the area.

Fresh ingredients, delicious food, and friendly service. I love the vegetable pad thai. If you like spice start with a three star.

Delicious! Love every bite. The presentation of the food is impeccable and taste just as amazing as it looks ! Plus, The owners are so nice and attentive! Definitely one of my favorite hidden gems restaurants in Burlington read more

Bangkok Bistro - Thai Near Me - Burlington, Washington

Bangkok Bistro is one of the best Thai restaurants that I have ever been to. We even prefer them over the restaurants in Thai town in Los Angeles. This hidden gem is located in Burlington, Washington of all places. This little restaurant is nothing fancy. Liked the ambiance. Service was beyond excellent. The owner made us feel like we were guests visiting his home. Friendly and helpful. Wife and I both ordered lunch specials. I had the Pad Thai, rice, mixed vegetables, and salad combo. Wife had the Pad Thai, rice, massaman chicken curry combo. Both were delicious. If you like Pad Thai that is a bit sweeter than normal, then this is for you. I like mine on the sweeter side so I thoroughly enjoyed the Pad Thai! That Massaman Curry was very flavorful, and the perfect mixture of spices. One of the best curries that I have eaten anywhere. Bangkok Bistro is a wonderful dining destination. Eveytime we are traveling in the area, we will be returning. read more

Authentic delicious Thai cuisine! Absolutely love the food. You get a hefty amount of food for the price. We ordered the pad see ew, coconut prawns, and bistro fried rice. Hands down the best pad see ew we've ever tasted! The noodles tasted very fresh and yummy. Highly recommend to anyone whose looking for a hole in the wall restaurant! The best thing is, they have a drive up window for you to pick up your food, so you don't even have to leave your car! read more

Anytime I'm in Burlington, I always have to stop and get food from these lovely people. Not only are they friendly, the put love and care into their food. Which makes it taste even better. I will always go here for food anytime I'm in the area. I highly recommend this place for anyone to try. read more

This is such a wonderful restaurant. Very fresh and authentic! We're from out of town, so I searched a place to eat at, and this had such good reviews that we decided to try it. We don't make every decision based on Yelp reviews, because we know as business owners that Yelp reviews aren't always credible. Yelp will post select reviews, and that can be damaging when the numerous good reviews don't get selected. But the pictures of the food convinced us to try it and we're glad we did! There were all positive reviews, and here's another positive review! read more

Let me preface this by saying I've only been here once during an extremely busy lunch hour so take this review with a grain of salt. This place had a very satisfied clientele sprinkled with obviously pleased regulars. One left when she found they were out of their popular pork Great reviews so I thought I'd check out this hidden gem in the rough. The hardworking owner was accomodating and the rest of the staff was generously hospitable. The bustling establishment was quaint in an authentically Thai meets mod kind of way. Why 3 stars? Not exactly spotless or efficient, I was chomping at the bit to get my order. I started with an app then asked for my pad thai to go after seeing people who arrived 10 minutes after me get their pad thai. The glaring problems - my pad thai was wokked at the same time as customers who ordered five minutes after me and who received a beautiful platter heaped with lots of colorful vegetables. A few minutes later I got an abundance of noodles with a ridiculously sparse amount of veggies and chicken. The problem was that they served up the other party's dish with a great distribution of the ingredients. I received what was left in the wok a few minutes later and it wasn't pretty. It was 95% overly sweet noodles. So so sweet was the only flavor I sensed in this one note dish. I'd asked for a level 3 heat level out of 5. I guess the other table ordered "no heat" because that is what I got. My veggie rolls were greasy. I think they'd been cooked in oil that was not hot enough. Grrr. In my haste to finally get out of there I didnt peruse the check. I was handed a $6.95 appetizer order of 2 chicken satay skewers by mistake. I explained that I had not ordered it but was sporting some severe back pain so smiled and acquiesced instead of waiting for them to correct their error. Ended up pitching all but a couple of bites of my noodles garnished with a smidgeon of other ingredients in the traditional Thai dish as well as 3 of the 4 rolls. I was so disappointed and am questioning my judgment since I actually want to give this place a chance to match its reputation. I'll try to give it another shot and let you know how it goes. read more

These guys are amazing. Great food, every single time. Best Thai food in two counties. I'll drive 30 minutes both ways just to get some.

We've eaten here twice. I'm so disappointed tonight because my last experience, after rave reviews from friends and family, was so amazing. My meal was on point and the service was above and beyond. Unfortunately that wasnt the case this time. We ordered to go and then were shooed off to go run some errands and come back to pick our food up. There were only 2 other tables at this point so it put me off quite a bit. We ordered 2 pad thai dishes, one beef one pork, some potstickers and a side of rice for our son as well as a thai tea. When ordering a "beef spice level 2" the kid said "2 orders?" And did not give the option for any spice variance. We received 2 pad Thais (both with 0 spice) one beef one labeled chicken so either very dry rubbery reheated chicken or possibly just dry pork, and potstickers. With a watered down thai tea (mostly ice and cream), no rice. Since we had already been there twice for one meal we weren't going to go back again for a side of rice. The pad thai was rubbery all around. The meat was dry, the noodles over cooked and the toppings left quite a bit to be desired. Since we had pad thai and curry there last time, we are comparing the dish to our previous experience with it. Unfortunately, it was completely different staffing tonight than the past and I am confident that is the varied factor, but it's too bad that it's such a huge difference in quality between the owner and the employees. read more

Amazing quality food and great pricing! This is our favorite Thai place in the valley!!!

Very good Thai food in Burlington. Made by an authentic Thai family - Edward and his family. We enjoyed the start of our vacation here. Very good and fresh ingredients. I'm not much of a Pad Thai chicken fan myself (at least not at other restaurants we've tried), but here, I ate 1/3 of my son's order as it was so good. read more

Well, they did it again...killed it with their Curry Fried Rice. The BEST flavor and delicious vegetables. They never disappoint

Delicious fresh food, served fast by a very friendly staff. We probably ordered more than we needed to, but we were very hungry and felt very full and happy when we left! read more

Tropical Curry and Kemow Spicy Noodles, yum!! 3-star spicy was way, wayyy to hot for me. Will stick with 1-star from now on. Very authentic, they roast and grind their own Thai chilies, and make their curry bases in Thailand and then fly them back here. The owner is super friendly and easy to talk to. Highly recommend! read more

A great happy family owns this restaurant. The prices are way too good to be true, since they give so much! Their lunch specials are huggggge. Now that's what I call a SPECIAL! Daughter seems to be able to multi-task with studying & serving our needs. The dad starts up a great conservation. My husband is a vegetarian & since he is very picky of where to go...this place is REAL vegetarian. Their broth is not chicken, beef, or pork broth. They use fresh vegetables and fresh tofu in their soup for you veggies & tofu lovers :) They cleaned up a lot since the last time I've been here. They got new floors, new tables, and even an ice cream freezer! So when you're done eating, you can head over to that ice cream freezer and pick up a strawberry shortcake. Just like they would do in Thailand since I have been there. My most favorite thing to eat here is the L-14! Prawns stir-fried in fresh vegetables, phad thai noodles, and steamed jasmine rice. with a salad on the side (: I absolutely love their fresh crushed red peppers. It's a lot spicier than any other Thai place. It's not Americanized peppers for those wimps out there. And what's even better at this place?! A drive-thru! What Thai restaurant do you know, that has a drive-thru? If you don't want to wait in an awkward silence in the restaurant waiting for your food, you can just chill in your car at the window. I'm a regular customer here, and I have going back ever since day 1. Love it! read more

The draw here is the very friendly service. I'm not quite certain, but it appears to be a family operation, and everybody is very nice and makes the customer feel appreciated. The drawback is that my wife and I came here three times only to find the restaurant closed for different reasons, spelled out on a note attached to the door. It would say "Back on Monday," or something similar. But, the food is delicious, and it was worth the effort to eat here. With all the Yelp reviews, I thought it would be busier than it is. I know I'll be eating here, when it is open. read more

We had stopped here a couple times earlier, and they were closed, once on Sunday and once when they had their food truck at a local arts fair. The food is delicious and so glad we tried again. I ordered wide noodles fried with chicken and veges, hub ordered the Tamarind Special. Both were flavorful, had fresh veges and just right spices. Plus they brought out a house ground pepper special for an extra kick. Edward, the owner is a wonderful host, so friendly and thoughtful, and his wife cooks the great food. They are also a hit at a few PNW fairs and festivals. Not to be missed, although you need GPS to find their restaurant set back from Burlington Boulevard behind a pocket park and next to a tire store. The converted house shows Edward's attention to detail. The room is tastefully decorated, uses glass top tables that add an upscale air, and a nicely laid out, colorful menu. read more
