Had eggplant with beef here, one of my favorite Thai dish. It was pretty yummy, the only part I wasn't a fan of was the taste of fish sauce. The dish was deeply flavorful & authentic. The waitress was very friendly as well. A couple of small things kept me from giving all the stars. 1, The restaurant says open at 12:00 but no body there at the opening time, they opened up 10-15 min later. 2, There was a fly buzzing around over my table, the only one I saw thou. If they had arrived sooner, they could have taken care of the fly & started serving food on time. Other than that, restaurant looked clean, including the bathroom. read more

The best pad Thai I've ever had! Since my last visit, the dish looks more colorful than before (see updated pic). The presentation is beautiful. I usually get tofu and veggie and I love the little mini corns inside the dish! Mouth watering good! We also love the waitress who's always there, she's so friendly! I highly recommend the chicken satay as well, wish I got a pic of it, but we ate it so fast! Yum! read more

Came here for the first time after going to the farm in simsbury. Hard to come by good or decent Thai food that tastes authentic anymore. We ordered the Thai lettuce wraps, tum yum goong, lad na, drunken noodles, and edamame. I forgot to take the photo of the lad na. The gravy was delicious and reminds me of my mother's when she makes it. 10/10 on that. The drunken noodles had good flavor but way too spicy for me since I can't have spice anymore. The lettuce wraps I can go without. I ordered something that a non typical Asian would order for a friend that went with me. I can pass on that along with the edamame (that was also for my friend). The soup was good and good amount of shrimp was in there as well. I def would come back or try the southington location. read more

I have been looking for another Thai place in the area, and this is it! The food was phenomenal, and the prices were reasonable for the portions. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and was able to give good recommendations. This is now my go to takeout Thai spot. Their pad Thai was very good, and their massaman curry is something I dream about... in addition to their scallion pancakes I have not had a bad meal here and will continue to recommend. read more

Somewhere In Bangkok Of Avon - Thai Near Me - Avon, Connecticut

A couple of years ago, a random Guy messaged me on Yelp after I reviewed a Thai restaurant based solely on its house special Pad Thai with different proteins and wontons. He said "You can't review a restaurant just for its Pad Thai." That Guy, is going to hate this review. Yesterday, I was holiday-shopping at the Riverdale Shops, and said to myself, I could really go for some Thai Style Egg Rolls. So I walked into Somewhere in Bangkok and ordered their Bangkok Egg Rolls. The person who helped me was very nice. My order was ready very quickly. While I was waiting, I had enough time to explore the restaurant and saw that the atmosphere was very cool. The order included four golden fried egg rolls stuffed with veggies and glass noodles. They were what some might call thin-tubed Spring Roll shaped. The outer texture was great. Nice and crispy, and the shell broke in a cool way. The veggie filling had good flavor and texture. The sweet and sour dipping sauce was tasty. Top tier Thai Style Egg Rolls. This experience met my expectations in every way. 5 Stars. Sorry Guy. read more

I first discovered this searching for a cozy spot in Avon that was a little different from the usual fare. It quickly became my personal favorite for authentic, flavorful Thai food. If they have ripe mangoes available, this is my top pick. I order it at a solid "level 4 spicy" on their 1-5 scale. The balance of the rich coconut milk, the fiery kick, and the sweet mango chunks is culinary perfection. Vegetarian ramen typically features a savory vegetarian broth with noodles and various vegetables. The portion size is huge we shared 1 by 4 ppl and still had leftovers. Honestly felt like a home cooked meal If you're in the area and craving vibrant, fresh Thai food, Somewhere In Bangkok is the spot. Don't skip grabbing a bubble tea on your way out--the Vietnamese Coffee boba is the perfect sweet ending to a spicy meal. It feels less like a restaurant and more like a dependable friend who always serves up a great meal. read more

A nice find of a Thai place....hidden away at the foot hills of Talcottville. Quaint tucked away...seemed like a local fav. Everything we had was great. I asked to make my crispy lad na with pork at heat 15 if the restaurant peak was at 5 and yes they did oblige...it was awesome! Will be their regular for sure. Great service as well. Asked for some crispy noodles and yes she did. read more

Takeout Review: Somewhere in Bangkok is an authentic Thai restaurant located in Connecticut. They have locations in Avon and Southington. Thai food is typically very flavorful; they use multiple spices and fresh ingredients to bring out the salty, sour, sweet, hot and bitter flavors. They have a vast menu with plenty of options and spice levels. They also offer boba tea drinks. It was a cold and rainy day so we decided to do takeout from there. I am usually a pad Thai or curry dish lover, it's my go-to, but decided on the chicken Pad See Ew this time around to mix it up. It's a stir fried flat rice noodle dish with broccoli, eggs, garlic, and soy sauce. The portion size was average and the flavor was robust. Next time, I look forward to trying out their pad Thai, panang curry, sweet chili wings, and panang fried rice, to name a few. Overall, it's a great Thai restaurant offering quality ingredients and delectable flavors. read more

Somewhere In Bangkok Of Avon - Chicken pad see ew takeout - Thai Near Me - Avon, Connecticut

Me and my partner were craving Thai, and we were so glad to have chosen to his place. Walking in, the restaurant is bright, wonderfully decorated, and were greeted and seated almost immediately. The service was quick. Everything was properly timed, I hate it when restaurants barrage you with food that would get cold since you can really only eat one thing at once. We ordered the Tom Kha Kai (Coconut Soup) It was delicious, we ordered it super extra spicy and they delivered the perfect amount of heat. The broth was sweet and coconutty, the chicken was tender. for the small portion it was enough for two people to share as an appetizer with some extra to fight over after lol. For my entree I chose the Bangkok Noodles, almost like a pad see ew but with less soy, and the lettuce underneath was a great touch to kind of offset all the carbs of the rice noodles and gave a fresh crunch to the dish along with the crispy noodles on top. Overall the dish was sweet, savory and of course I made it extra spicy because I just love it that way. I love when a restaurant has the proper condiments for their patrons who know how to eat southeast asian cuisine. I enjoyed this restaurant and food experience very much, I highly recommend and I definitely will be back to try some more!! read more

Omg, I stumbled upon this place after a long bike ride and I couldn't have been happier! The mango curry with tofu was out of this world with a whole damn mango sitting on top! The server checking me out took the time to make my boba tea less sweetened as I requested and it was out of this world! The mango sticky rice was so delish and the tofu fresh rolls were perfectly crunchy! All of the food was fresh and the perfect temp/spice! I can't wait to return! read more

The Asian restaurant scene in the Farmington Valley continues to change. There was a pretty good one in the Walmart Plaza in Avon named Green Bamboo, they replaced Chang An which was there for decades. Well, Green Bamboo just closed another Asian place is stepping up to the plate. In Avon's Riverdale Farms Plaza, there was a short-lived Thai restaurant named Ekkalak that has now been replaced by a very familiar name -Somewhere in Bangkok. They've been a very successful Southington restaurant for years. Anyway, we checked them out a few nights ago and sure enjoyed our food. There is a very ambitious menu to navigate - 21 appetizers, 8 salads, 12 soups, plus a zillion noodle and stir fry and curry and specials to tempt you. Plus, desserts, cakes and milk and fruit teas. Their menu really is an embarrassment of riches. We split a Chicken Satay appetizer and I have to tell you how wonderful it was. For $8.95 we got three big plump skewers of seasoned chicken served with an amazing peanut sauce and diced crunchy cucumber salad. We loved it. My wife went for a Chicken Pad That ($14.95) which she liked a lot but wished it had been a little "saucier". I went for Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles) with Pork (also $14.95). When I asked for it to be "spicy" it led to a conversation on the restaurant's numbering convention for spice. They use a 1-5 range, and I learned that 2 is mild, so five would be nuclear Thai style. I went with a three, and I thanked the Lord Almighty I didn't go to a four, because three was on my tipping point between hot/enjoyable and hot/inedible. I loved my dish -super spicy pork with egg, onion, green peppers, broccoli, basil, and flat rice noodles. Seriously, it was one of the best dishes I've had in months. The Asian food market is super competitive in the Valley, but in my opinion, Somewhere in Bangkok has muscled their way to the top of the heap. read more

This is our favorite Thai restaurant in the Avon area so far. It caught our eye while exploring other places in that plaza. It has indoor and outdoor seating, which is really nice. The indoor decorationngas a thai ethnic touch but also still has easter decor right now. We were seated and served very quickly. The volcano shrimp was perfectly crisp on the outside and tender inside. Pad Thai and Drunken noodle were both well seasoned. We haven't seen drunken noodle with pork belly before, which was definitely a special addition. I was curious about the thai custard, which I've never tried before. It's not really my thing, but the sticky rice that accompanies it is perfect and probably will get sticky rice and mango next time. Can't wait to come back to try some other things on their menu! read more

Came here on the day after Thanksgiving with a party of 7. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and entrees and shared everything. Everything was absolutely delicious, the service was friendly and great, and they answered my folks' questions and offered great suggestions. I can't think of anything that could be improved! read more

Delicious food! The mango curry, vegetarian, was wonderful. I've only ordered take-out so far. Fresh food, fast service. Note: I upgraded to sticky rice for an extra $2 but it tasted exactly the same as the regular. I called to ask, and I was told it's not much different. It's not like the sweeter sticky rice that comes with dessert. They are called the same thing, a bit confusing, and disappointing. read more

The WORSE Thai food ever!!!! I don't think I ever had this horrible tasting som tum ever in life. I am from Bangkok originally and I know my food well. Of course I wasn't expecting authentic Thai food like back home but this was worse ever everything we tried tasted horrible. Everything went in trash. How do they even claim to be a Thai restaurant. There ae sooo many better options for delicious Thai food in CT.... read more

It's pretty pricey for Thai food that wasn't impressive. The space was very nice and clean the dishes that came to the table looked absolutely beautiful but lacked flavor. We first got the green papaya salad and the flavors were very nice. We forgot to let the server know we wanted it spicy... our fault, but still very yummy. Our first main was the Phuket Fantasy. The sauce was okay, sweet with mangos and coconut, but there was nothing to it that made me think I was eating Thai food. The main issue that I had was that the Shrimps and Scallops (4 bay scallops?) were cooked to the point where they were mealy rubber. The next main that we got was the crispy pork belly pad Thai. I was so excited to try this. I never see pork belly offered and had to order it. There was a general lack of seasoning and flavor. The pork was not crispy and the noodles didn't taste like Pad Thai at all. The noodles were broken into little bits so the texture wasn't pleasant and there was no "Wok-Hei" one of the best indicators of a quality stir fried noodle dish. I hope this place was just having an off day because most things were just pretty flavorless. Good luck! read more

I don't know at what restaurant the previous reviewer ate. For my experience, the moral of the story is NOT "good things come to those who wait" Service: arrived 715. Water was brought 7:30. Ordered then as well. One of the appetizers came at 8:30, which was a shame not only because we were hungry but they brought the wrong appetizer. We ate it anyway since we were hungry. The other appetizer never came. I would give them a pass on the service because of Covid, and new restaurant and crowded night, but there were too many missteps. 3 generous stars for service. Think about it. I give them three stars for wrong food and a meal that took way too long. I'm a nice person! Food: the appetizer we didn't order, Thai papaya salad was actually good. We made sure to tell them of our gluten issues, but they neglected to tell us all the protein in the dishes we ordered was breaded and fried. The whole snapper in garlic sauce was cooked to death, almost inedible. The sauce was good and the vegetables were raw. The Jungle Curry, which is supposed to feature eggplant, had 2 undercooked small pieces of undercooked Asian eggplant. The broth/curry was watery and tasteless. Then there was the overcooked deep fried salmon in the Jungle Curry that had the texture of chicken because it was so over cooked. And then the Pad Thai. It had been sitting so long out on the counter and bit served to us that it coagulated and you needed a forklift to eat it. Also, unlike Ekkalak pad thai which was the best outside of Thailand we've ever had, there was zero flavor- no tamarind, no lime, minimal peanuts. We tried to improve it by putting it in the tasteless Jungle broth. Zero stars for food. We mourn the loss of Ekkalak which was a family run place that was a standard in our household. This place is a "never again." read more

Great food....The best Papaya salad I have ever had and the Mango curry is amazing. Staff is nice and accommodating. Pleasant decor.

Still solid for Uber eats and takeout, actually really like the spot for lunch. This time I tried the traditional Bangkok crispy noodle dish which reminds me of a hybrid of spicy drunken noodles and pad Thai with chicken. Nice big pieces of delicious protein, I chose spice level four and it really makes your nose run! Cheers. read more

First time coming here. Wow. Not even half as good as Green Papaya (the usual spot we choose). 3 stars is pretty generous. The pad see ew was absolutely flavorless and dry and the chicken pad tai tasted burnt and flavorless. Both were probably the worst I have ever had. Redeeming stars for the beef pho which was excellent and the boba tea which was refreshing. Maybe just an off night? I'm not sure if I'll order from here again. read more

Its not the best restaurant. I ordered drunken noodles, the chicken tasted weird, there weren't a lot of noodles. There were more vegetables than there were noodles and pieces of chicken. The taste was not great. I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it. Wouldn't go again though. read more
