We loooooove this place so much. Maitais, iced Thai tea, pad Thai, pad see ew, and other delicious dishes. Served with smiles and sweetness from the beautiful ladies here. Can't beat the view up the Kennebec River, hoping to see some sturgeon jumping! read more

The food is good but get it to go. The service is terrible. Nice people though. Ordered drinks and they looked at us like we were from another planet. Took forever to get the bill. read more

Just absolutely horrible decline my debit card for no reason so I had to use my credit card. Food was blend and just absolutely disgusting for the money. I paid $85 for five dollars of rice and three dollars of chicken would never ever eat here again or recommend this to anybody read more

Ate here for the first time. Got chicken pad Thai and it smelled like a literal wet dog or dirty socks. didnt sit right with me. the noodles were mushy and was unsettling. the appetizers we got (crab raggoon and egg roll) was tasty but my dish was overall not pleasant. read more

Ordered for delivery. The food was warmed up more than once. The appetizer was dried out so bad I didn't know what it was. We alerted delivery as order was over 60. And it really was bad. I called the restaurant they said the food was fresh and did not offer any compensation (we literally threw it out). Were rude actually to me . Plenty of good restaurants that you pass to get to this one. Keep going by.... read more

Go to place to order when back in town. I always get the yellow curry! Delicious but regardless of ordering mild, it's always spicy!

Right now this place seems to be closed at least semi-permanently. I have been unable order from them for a few weeks now. a shame, as they are really good. read more

Be very careful if you order online. They use a "third party company" to handle their website orders. We arrived to learn they did not have any of the whole fish ($26), yet, it was just simply marked off the order strip but not credited from the prepaid bill. The Steamed Dumplings didn't make it into the bag ($8.00). We were taxed and tipped (20%) for the total order. When challenged, the employees offered us a phone number to call. We were told the owners were not available. In the end, the employees took some bills out of their pocket, but we were still out of $$$ and very disappointed to feel cheated by their "third party system". The food: small portions, #3 Spice was VERY SPICY, and just OK flavors. Only the Mango Sticky Rice dessert was deemed excellent. read more

Great food great service awesome location with a great view!!! If your in this area check them out :)

Ordered crab Rangoon, crispy pad Thai, drunken noodles, and B52 roll at $52-expected so much more. Not sure what has changed at the restaurant since the summertime when we last ordered from here but sorely disappointed in every dish we ordered. Crab Rangoon: Noticed my takeout bag said "cheese roll" and when I questioned, I was assured this was in fact crab Rangoon- got home and found5 tiny cigar looking "crab Rangoons". So much of the crunch was lost in this appetizer by changing the shape from the traditional to this odd roll- do not recommend Crispy pad Thai- flavor was good but the dish was so dry and devoid of any of the traditional mixins- felt like we paid $15 for a bowl of deep fried noodles and a tablespoon of sauce. A couple shriveled bean sprouts, barely any chicken (which was so dry it crumbled) and a tiny sprinkling of crushed peanuts. Drunken noodle- good dish and flavors but this time, very small portion. The dish was half the size of the pad Thai. B 52 roll- yikes. My husband spat this one out. Fishy is the word I'd describe this as- and not in a fresh fishy kinda way. Nope. Might add this was the smallest sushi roll I've ever ordered- 5 pieces of sushi, maybe half the length of a typical sushi roll. read more

Ordered online two dishes with chicken as the meat option and the allergy note of shellfish allergy. Picked up then traveled home to discover that one dish had shrimp! I reviewed the receipt the dish only registered as Pad Thai (with no additions). read more

Tried their sushi today. The rice was very under seasoned and the fish did not taste fresh. I also tried the fried rice and it was very bland. read more

I have been going here as a staff member at a camp nearby for years, and I celebrated my birthday there this year. Their card machine wasn't working and they first expected me and my boyfriend to go out to a bank (the closest one that was opened was 25 minutes away) to go get money to pay, when THEIR machine wasn't working. In reality, if their machine isn't working (mind you we were the only and last customers of the night), they should just comp the meal. I then left my phone number, name and contact information so that I could drop off money or have someone drop it off the next day. Although I did not feel that this was my responsibility, I sent one of the staff to pay. Since then, I have been back three separate times to eat there and no one has said anything to me nor called me, so I assumed everything was all set. Today, a month after my birthday dinner there, I received a call from them where they proceeded to SCREAM AND YELL at me about the payment. They claimed I didn't pay, yet I had and either way, it's been a month, I have returned three times since, I haven't heard anything via phone, and I have been back three times. The woman who spoke to me yelled over me while I tried to explain myself, was extremely rude, proceeded to curse at me while I tried to share that I had sent someone, and then she hung up the phone on me. I called back to try and follow up and have a nice conversation to clear the air, but she again yelled over me cursed again and hung up again. read more

I still enjoy their food, but I guess since the pandemic they've started to do a lot more to-go orders and that's changed the whole mood of the restaurant. There was a huge line of people waiting for their to-go orders, and it sounded like Grand Central Station in there! Phone ringing off the hook. Alarms beeping and buzzing and blipping nonstop. It's absolutely maddening! Even the staff agree it's terrible, anxiety-provoking, the opposite of what I'm looking for when I want to go out to eat. I feel bad for whoever works there. Let me know when they decide to address this... In the meantime, I'm DONE. read more

Food was just okay. Price is outrageous. I tried ordering them on door dash twice and the order was $75+ and they accepted the order at first but they kept cancelling it. When we called the service we got was horrible. Stating they never got the order but had no problem charging us each time. read more

We had lovely crispy veggie eggrolls, light and delicate. 5 to an order which was more than I expected. Along side we also had a California roll and pan fried dumplings. My Main dish was a rice noodle soup which was exactly what I wanted that evening. Refreshing with bean sprouts & very tasty broth, fried onions and a little cilantro. Service was extremely nice and the orders came out quickly. Very clean restaurant. Lovely view read more

Not my first choice for Thai in the Augusta area. They used to be consistently great! But in the last 3 years, it's all dependent on who's cooking. A lot of the time the noodles are over cooked, and minimal sauce left on the food. The sweet, sour, and salty flavor complex can be inconsistent as well. I still will occasionally go if the stars align. read more

Amazing food. Great service. Definitely coming back. Our server was a guy named Mike, he was super friendly and incredibly helpful. He answered some of our questions about the menu and suggested the beef lo mein, which ended up being everybody's highlight of the night. I got the Pad See Eew with beef and it was delicious. Loved the vegetables and the flavors. Definitely will be back. read more

Visibly dirty place, over proced menu and arrogant staff. Don't waste ur money. No respect for patrons... never coming back here..

Stopped on a whim. Had a late start and I like Tai cuisine. The cook definitely prepared on the hot side of things. Next time I will order for cowards . The service was good and so were the Maitais . Food was good read more

Beautiful sunny day for lunch on the River. Richard is a warm, cordial and well-informed server. He suggested the Eggplant which was delicious. I ordered that w chicken. Tom Yum Soup also yummy. The chilled orange brought with the check was a bright way to clear the palate of the delicious spiciness of the food. I'll be back. read more

For a place half filled, the service was slow to bring out my very small order: chai iced coffee, 2 pieces of sushi, fried ice cream, and a bubble tea to go. Almost an hour for it all to make it to the table. The view made up for the slowness and allowed me to enjoy the view while I pondered if my food would ever make it to the table. read more

Great food and ok priced. Service is good and lots of parking available. Located along the river so the ambiance is nice. Definitely recommend read more

My son and I went to Lucky Garden for Chinese and they had only "to go" so we drove down the street for Thai, so glad we did! We sat outside with a lovely view of the Kennebec River and watched boats meander by. We started with edamame and fresh spring rolls, fresh and crisp and mouth watering. My son and I ordered the same dish, ginger chicken and we both loved it. I added one star of spice to my dish and it had significantly more "zing" than my son's did. I loved mine, he loved his and the service was prompt and attentive. Highly recommend, we missed the lunch menu but looked like a great value... read more

Cafe De Bangkok is a wonderful place. The owners are personable, they're great at what they do... and the food is superb! I gave it 5 stars for the area, because you can't get better Thai in Augusta. Their Tom Yum soup is like NO other... I crave it day and night. Ask Bank to sing for you... he's wonderful at it! ;) read more

Stoked by for takeout. Fabulous service as always. I had pad Thai that was perfectly spiced and the noodles were soft. The Gyoza was tender with crisp edges and served with soy sauce for dipping. The sweet potato roll was ok. It would better if it was cooked longer. The Brian roll is similar to a red dragon but is topped with fresh tuna. The spicy tuna and spicy salmon was delicious. All the fish was fresh and tender. The taro bubble tea is a sweet concoction that makes me giddy. They have a huge list of flavors. The Thai iced coffee was creamy and sweet. Don't forget to dine in an enjoy a lunch box, a daily special or glass of prosecco. read more

Cafe de Bangkok is Hallowell Maine's place to be for great Thai food, romantic views of the Kennebec River, and a wonderful place to spot bald Eagles and to watch the river sturgeon jump! I've been coming to Cafe de Bangkok for about 10 years now and I consider it my 'go-to' restaurant when I'm in the mood for hot sake, delicious sushi, and hot fresh noodle dishes. The wait staff are attentive, knowledgeable about the dishes, and friendly. During the summer their screened in deck is the perfect place for a quick lunch, or a leisurely evening meal. I try to order different things each time I go, however, I tend to default to their miso soup, rainbow roll, and fresh tasty perfectly fried gyoza. I recently tried their chicken lo mein (I asked my server what he would recommend in the "non-spicy" category.) The lo mein arrived quickly, fresh and hot. It was perfectly cooked, seasoned well, the portion was generous so I had plenty of left-overs! If you enjoy spice (like me) they are happy to accommodate your level of spicy. There is a beautiful aquarium in the dining room that my daughter loves to look at. For me Cafe de Bangkok is a place I will keep returning to for authentic Thai, consistently decent meals, and decent prices. read more

I always order cafe de Bangkok roll, Curtis duck which is always nice and crispy. I ask for sauce on the side and the veggies that come with it are steamed and a free drink with meals when enough is ordered read more

Cafe de Bangkok used to be great. Then they changed owners a couple of years ago, and went straight downhill. After a string of disappointing meals, we reluctantly crossed them off our list. read more

For many years, I would come here for a yearly anniversary. We loved their food but always knew we would have to wait, sometime 45 minutes for some sushi. This was even on a Tuesday night when the total amount of guest was equal to staff. Supposedly there is only one sushi chef. My last visit seemed quicker- 15 minutes for some avocado rolls for an appetizer and maybe 15 for our main dishes that were Thai. And on a Thursday night! So maybe things have improved in the speed department. This would be great considering I have loved every meal I have ever had there. read more

Nice new find for Sushi and Thai in the Augusta area, we really enjoyed it! We had too much food, but enjoyed it all. appetizer sampler tray, chicken wings, gyoza, spring rolls, tempura, and lots of sushi! read more

Excellent food, I've only ever ordered take out here, I wish they allowed half orders at dinner time for people who don't eat much but other than that I give them 5 stars! read more

Great tasting chicken basil pad Thai, although it came with large chunks of bell peppers. Why? I have no idea. I'd still go back though. Spicy was good, definitely could have used a little more heat though. read more

Nice place with friendly staff. Very good food and a nice view of the water. The service can be a bit slow, so don't come here if you're in a hurry. All in all, I recommend this restaurant. read more

No no and no...very sorry to say that. I have been there about 3 month ago with my friends, apparently, there are new owners, it was slow, people did not know what the different items are...not run very professionally...was never even tempted to try them again...it might be better now read more

Café de Bangkok? What a name, I had to stop in. Would it be French or Thai food inside? Or Japanese as the front door also suggested. You'll have to go to find out but I will tell you this: the waitress was actually from Thailand and knew all about the local customs. I forget her name but I would give her five stars as well. Ordered the pad wood sen and absolutely loved it!! The view is incredible if you don't sit by the window ur dumb read more

Great Thai food and sushi. They also have a full bar, and the drinks are good. The setting is very nice, as it overlooks the river.

Ehh my food was decent but i would never eat here again. Most of my friends got the Mango Margarita and we all thought the same thing, disgusting. It was frothy like old OJ and tasted as if they stirred supermarket margarita mix in with mango puree and left out the tequila. The food on the other hand was decent and almost great if it came out hot instead of luke warm. The golden triangle was crispy and the flavorful with the sauce. The Pad See Ew was also flavorful. The food being decent was what made me give an extra star. Also, you might not want to eat here if bugs aren't you're thing. We sat on the opposite side of the fish tank (next to the windows) and at the end of our meal we noticed the whole ceiling was covered in various sizes of moving spiders. We couldn't believe there were so many. Not sure if charlottes all over the ceiling is a Maine thing but it was gross to see in a restaurant. Good luck with this place should you choose to enter! read more

I've eaten at Cafe de Bangkok several times since my last review and I've come to enjoy it very much. I now live in Hallowell and they're right down the street from me. I still get their food delivered sometimes and it tastes great with great service. They haven't improved their handicapped accessibility and they're still not quite as good as Thai places I've eaten at in Boston and Portland, but it's definitely very good food. I recommend it. read more

This was our second choice option for sushi for my boyfriend. It was just okay. First, we arrived, and the hostess said "let me find you a table!" We turned to look into an empty dining room with many empty tables. Oookay. We were seated (I wasn't a fan of the table, since I had my back to the room, which makes me uncomfortable, but that's a me thing, and not really the restaurant's fault). We order. Our waitress was awkward. That's really the only way I can describe her. She was, however, able to answer some questions we had (except whether it was cilantro in the Tom Yum soup). For an appetizer, we got the steamed shumai, which were easily comparable to the shumai at Sweet Chili Thai. ordered the coconut shrimp, my partner ordered sushi. My food came when his soup came. The shrimp were tasty, but the roasted asparagus that came with it hadn't been trimmed properly, so the bottom was woody and unpleasant. The brown rice (yay for brown!) was tasty. We waited. And waited. And waited for his sushi to come out, getting many iffy answers as to when it would arrive. I was done my entree by the time his sushi came out. I would say it took a good 40 minutes, for SUSHI in a not busy restaurant. Unacceptable. He was satisfied with his sushi, but we found that anything with ANY sort of a heat rating was too spicy. Maybe I'll come back if we don't have any other options, but I prefer other Thai restaurants. read more
