I was concerned upon parking as the restaurant does not show particularly well. It's attached to an almost empty low budget hotel and doesn't have much in the way of signage or clear widows. No matter! We were committed and went inside, and were seated in a spotless, small dining room. Sengli was our server and he did a fine job. We ordered our favorites, Thai hot for my wife and friend and mild for me. I will make the story simple. The portions were excellent, the food was all excellent and we were thrilled, with truly delicious leftovers to eat the next day! My Thai basil fried rice was very flavorful and featured a reasonable amount of chicken. We all look forward to returning! Life is good with delicious authentic Thai food in an unexpected location!

My favorite is their red, but you can't go wrong with anything. While their food isn't spicy at all, even when ordering spicy, it's fine, because the flavors of their dishes are naturally prominent and mouthwatering. Service can be spotty depending on your waiter, but the food is always worth it to me. I've never been when it wasn't full of customers, even on random times on random weekdays, so it's nice to see Gainesville knows how delicious this place is. The interior is fine, nothing stand out, but its unique location (next to the motel) and weird parking lot definitely makes it a fun experience. I love this place, it's delicious, and definitely one of my favorites.

My order was easier - Chirashi Dinner and iced green tea. Our friends ordered a bento box and pork steamed buns. The restrooms were clean and stocked; happy about that. Our orders arrived around 10 to 15 minutes later and they were all correct, as well as delicious. Everyone liked their food. We spent around $100 including generous tip. We will be back again :)

Arriving an hour before closing time, I was pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome and seamless seating despite the quiet atmosphere. The staff made me feel like a valued guest regardless of the hour. I was seated inside, though there is an outdoor patio. However, with the lack of customers and the late hour, it felt better to sit inside this time around. The decor is pretty typical for a Thai restaurant... lots of reds and gold and the ever present dragons. The standout of the evening was undoubtedly the Tom Yum soup. It was bold, aromatic, and perfectly balanced. It alone is worth a return visit. The summer roll was decent but fell a little short of its potential. The shrimp felt sparse, and an overly generous hand with the cucumber threw off the harmony of flavors I was hoping for. My green curry hit all the right flavor notes, but the portion felt slightly unbalanced. A bit more curry to accompany the rice would have made it a truly satisfying main. Minor criticisms aside, Bangkok Square delivers a genuinely enjoyable Thai dining experience. The highs are high enough that I'll certainly be back.

The interior is nice and spacious, and they were able to sit my table of 6 immediately upon entry. Our waitress was kind, but seemed to be spread thin over multiple tables, so service was a little spotty. She forgot to put in one of our orders and we didn't get the food, but I know she was busy, so it's okay! The mapo tofu was absolutely delicious - the savory chili sauce with the phenomenal texture of the pork and tofu, it was a dish I've been craving ever since I got it. The rice pairs excellently with it, as it's quite salty, and acts as a good balance to the intense flavor. The wonton soup was classic and good. Nothing super standout, but still a good appetizers. Everyone enjoyed their food, and the portions were sizable and able to be taken home for more meals later! I thoroughly enjoyed this place, and can't wait to try other dishes on their menu.

They have all the spices and spice levels down. I always make sure to have some business to do in Gainesville even though I live 40 minutes away just so I can eat here. Was in Gainesville recently so I made my usual stop in for a lunch of cumin lamb bao and beef in dry wok. Wow! It was fantastic. They'll really spice it up with lots of hot pepper and mouth-numbing Szechuan pepper corns and will not hold back if you request so (see the receipt pic I posted). I've also had the mapo tofu, cumin lamb dinner and dan dan noodles here and it's been a 20/10 every time. I posted pix of those here too. Probably the best dan dan I've ever had. If you like this style of Chinese cooking, you MUST go here! Definitely worth a trip to Gainesville or if you just happen to find yourself there and are looking for a great place to eat. If you live there, lucky you! As good as or even better than anything I've had in NYC.

After a little wandering around we found liquid ginger. The line wasn't too long inside, so we decided we would try it. They were swamped and very busy still, but the staff was doing their best to accommodate everyone. We waited in a short line for maybe 15min before reaching the hostesses table. We were lucky to get seats at the sushi bar! The interior is very nice and has a nice vibe. This place is really great for nice dinners, nights out, or a good dinner. Service was definitely off that night. Our water specifically seemed to forget about the group of us since we were seated at the sushi bar. It took her 15 to get us waters and our other drinks didn't even come out until after we got out food (a considerable time later). Like I said it was busy, the sushi bar was swamped with orders, but they were working diligently to keep up with the influx of orders. Most of us ordered sushi, so we ended up waiting a considerable amount of time for our meals. My one friend ordered an entree from the kitchen and it came out within 10 minutes of her ordering it. Our sushi was served about 20-30 minutes after her dish. This is frustrating and slightly awkward as my friend felt bad eating while the rest of us didn't have any food yet. Again, this is no fault to the sushi chefs. They were working extremely hard to produce quality sushi for all the guests. My problem came with our server, Emma. She didn't check in on us at all, didn't even serve our dishes to us, and like I said, forgot to get us drinks, etc. While this was frustrating, I do not think this is a reflection of the restaurant overall. It appeared the other serves were fine keeping up with their tables. For the food, we started with the crab rangoons and steamed pork potstickers. These came out within 10 minutes of ordering and were great starters! They each included 6 pieces per order. The crab rangoons were stuffed with ample amounts of cream cheese and crab meat. They were perfectly crispy and I thought these were some of the better Rangoons I've had. The potstickers hit the spot, but weren't anything too special, pretty standard. For my sushi, I ordered the Golden Apple Roll (per our servers recommendation) and a daily special roll called the bonzai Roll. The golden apple roll included spicy crunchy salmon, Fuji apples, mango, and mango sauce. This was decent and something different but not my favorite. 5)3 flavors were super unique but there wasn't a sweetness at all oddly like I was expecting. Instead it had a distinct tart flavor to it. Different, but not my vibe. Now the bonzai roll was a hit! This roll included tuna, salmon, kani, and avocado inside, topped with tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and mayo, then flamed & torched, and finished with eel sauce, caviar, and scallions. There was certainly a lot going on in this one, but I could really taste all the different elements. The fish was extremely fresh and just divine. I also tried some of my friend's sashimi and was blown away with the quality of the fish--just amazing. Overall, we all loved the food here and would 100% return. The quality is quite good and the fish is melt in your mouth. You can tell they take a lot of pride in their sushi and it is evident in the taste and presentation alone. Now the service was certainly more desirable. I understand it was a very busy night, but our server just appeared to forget about us. Very disappointing as it slightly spoiled our experience and was not a good first impression. Again, we all agreed that we thought it wasn't a fair assessment of the restaurants service overall. I'm hoping next time the service is better and our server can do a better job serving us and checking in on us. I'm also surprised that she never offered to compensate anything in our bill, like our drinks that took 30+ minutes to come out and were served well after we had received our food. But it's not the end of the world. I would still recommend coming here, I actually think their sushi is better than Dragon Flys, better priced, and dare I say higher quality!

Oh my god, I took a single bite and didn't speak to my friend for 15 minutes as I continued munching it down. It was amazing. The vermicelli comes underneath this mound of pork holy grail, and while I'm used to having my vermicelli with these bowls cold and a bit thinner, and there being significantly more noodles than meat ratio, I'm thrilled to say that not this bowl - this bowl was 60% pork, 30% noodle, and 10% veggie. I'm taking every bite with 2-3 pieces of pork. I'm soaking up the juices with the noodles. I'm crunching on a few cucumbers to balance it out. I'm savoring every piece. Absolutely wonderful. I'm so excited to go back and try every one of their dishes. The restaurant itself is small, located inside of a shared mini-food court place with a pasta-to-go restaurant and a boba tea shop, and has a really cute sitting area.
