Food-wise, our apps were crab Rangoon and steamed chicken dumplings. Both were delicious. The crab rangoons were sufficiently filled with the cream cheese mixture and were crispy. The chicken dumplings were stuffed with ground chicken and mushrooms and were well cooked. For our main, we got the pad Thai curry noodle and the drunken noodles.

Both were good but I'd probably order something other than the mango sticky rice next time. One star off due to the service. Our waitress was very short with us.

It was like she was annoyed we were dining there! Overall, great ambiance and good food.

Deceptive Businesses Practices. Not to be trusted!!…read more I was really craving some good Thai food, so I walked 15 minutes from my hotel to this business for a takeout order. I ordered the gang musmun. When the lady rang me up, the order total seemed high. When she handed me the receipt to sign, it was an even higher price than what she had just stated a moment earlier. I asked her about it, and she told me I had been charged a dollar for the takeout containers. Nowhere on any sign or on the menu does it state there is a charge for takeout containers. I'm pretty sure she was just padding my bill to benefit her business. Outrageous!! After walking so far, and still having to walk back, I just decided to pay the bogus charge since I was tired and hungry. As for the food, it was disappointing. Watery and too heavily seasoned with fish sauce. It tasted like bland heavily salted water. Very disappointing as I've had some amazing curries in my life and know good Thai food. This was not good Thai food. Not even close. I can't judge an entire restaurant based on one dish, but I can tell you, based on this one dish I would definitely not return. That's apart from the bogus extra charge to my bill. As for the restaurant itself. It was dingy, run down and not clean. The menu I was handed to look over was filthy and sticky. I used hand sanitizer after touching it. So gross. Very disappointing experience. I am in Lansing frequently for work and will never return to Bangkok House. If you are in the area looking for Thai food, there are two other restaurants within walking distance, I'd try one of those first if I were you.

End of May will be your last opportunity for an unknown time. We splurged since it might the last time. We stared with the appetizer sampler and it was all delicious. All of it was fresh and delicious. Crispy crab rangoons, moist chicken satay, fresh spring rolls, egg rolls with chicken and some meat rangoon. All complemented with three different sauces with one being a sweet peanut butter sauce. Yum! The Red Pad Thai is amazing as usual. The fresh topping with the flavors from the noodles and sauce go so well together. The peanut curry with chicken were flavored with just the right amount of peanut flavor and spice! I substituted the white rice with their fried rice for an additional $3, but it was sooo worth it! Normally it was only an additional $2 but eggs, enough said. The service was pleasant as usual and never did we need anything. The place hasn't changed much over the last 10 years but you don't have to when your food speaks for itself. The place was good for one to a large group and is always clean Go give it a try before they are possibly gone forever.

To that end, it's great. But No Thai is kinda fast food as far as Thai restaurants are concerned, offering a pretty limited menu outside of your ordinary pad thai and frankly lackluster curries. I could conceivably bump up my review to five stars if they could diversify the menu and ingredients a bit. Everyone is super nice and they are insanely fast, which is giving this an extra star from what would normally just be a very much middle-of-the-road 3/5.

When we dined in on Tuesday, January 20, a laminated letter-sized sign was placed with our menus that stated there would be a 50-cent upcharge added to the bill. No explanation given. As we looked through the dinner menu, we noted that every menu item's price was overwritten with newer, higher prices. It seemed that every 3, 6, or 9 was retraced with an 8. I could be wrong, but every price was modified. Apparently, they didn't want to order new menus with the increased prices. A couple of tables away, there was a table of four having a post-dinner chat, where one person monopolized the conversation about his military experience in Vietnam and the local folks -- told at a decibel level that the entire restaurant could hear. With their doggy bags sitting on the table, this conversation lasted the entire time we sat, ordered, and finished our dinner. I should've done what I wanted to do as soon as we were seated -- walk out. The entire experience was extremely disappointing.

She said more food would be coming, but it would take a few minutes. My girlfriend was hungry and angry, but to their credit they did get most of the dishes replenished within 10 minutes. Unfortunately, by the time we went up for seconds the buffet was practically empty once again. The food wasn't cold, but it wasn't hot either. "Warm" is a good descriptor, but warm turns cool rather quickly. The price wasn't bad at $8.75, but more hot food (just what pretty much anyone would expect walking up to a buffet) would improve this rating to at least four stars.
