Ordered take out here, two orders of spring rolls, two orders of veggie lo mein, veggie fried rice and no egg pad Thai Food was ready when I got there, but when we got home we learned the veggie fried rice had chicken in it. The low mein was very over cooked, slimy. Very few vegetables in there. On a bright note the spring rolls were hot, crunchy and fresh. Overall average food with decent service . read more

We've only had take-out from here, but by far, it's the best Thai food around. A little on the pricey side, but I feel everything is costing more and more. Their curries are outstanding & the pad thai is GREAT! If you're in the mood for outstanding Asian food, Bangkok is the choice. read more

The Bangkok is incredible. We have reordered ~4 times in less than 2 months, it's quickly become a favorite. I love the summer rolls and we both love the grilled pork on rice. Everything is always so fresh and so delicious. I can't recommend it enough. read more

Cute small shop Staff was super nice and helpful. The food was ok. Tbh the best thing I ate was the wings. Had tons of flavor. Crispy. Delish. The Tom yum wasn't bad either. Didn't blow my mind though. The pad Thai is where I was a bit disappointed. It wasn't fried enough. The sauce was too sweet. It didn't blend. It felt like they just threw the sauce on the noodles, fried it for like 5 seconds and served it. There was no real color to the dish. It tasted purely like sauce. read more

I got the yellow curry and loved it. My dad got that pad Thai and it was also good. I liked the small cozy feeling. I would definitely go back. read more

This place is a hidden gem in the melrose area for Asian food! I've only ordered takeouts from here and it never disappoints! I always get the grilled pork noodle and they seasoned it with lemongrass which is fantastic. Will definitely return to try the other dishes. read more

Now this is a hidden gem for me. The front space looks like a cafe and inside is so cozy. They write specials on the wall and everything we got was delicious. The shrimp donut had a nice thin crispy layer and inside was stuffed with minced shrimp. The chicken satay was well seasoned. The diced onions and cucumber were in this umami pickle sauce. I could eat that by itself. The curry with the scallion pancake was so flavorful. The mango sticky rice was warm and every grain were tender. Our waiter was wonderful and informative. read more

Khao Soi: Delicious. Ingredients fresh and well-balanced. The chicken leg was really good with a nice, browned exterior and tender on the inside. Both the regular noodles and crispy noodles were tasty. The curry was delicious, with a bit of a kick to it. The Bangkok Ribs: nice glaze on the outside. I really like the marinade. It's so good. The ribs were really tender and fell easily off the bone. I wouldn't say prices are cheap, but they are reasonable. Portion sizes are good. read more

A local spot across the street from the commuter rail stop, The Bangkok offers a variety of Thai and Vietnamese dishes. SPACE: Very limited seating (about 5 tables) so I don't recommend coming in large groups. I don't believe they have any restrooms either but it may have been hidden away behind the kitchen doors. PAD SEE EW: I ordered the crispy chicken pad see ew. The noodle to veggie ratio was very off - there were more veggies than noodles. I love noodles so was very disappointed. The dish itself was also more saucy that what I was used to so I wasn't a fan of that. The crispy chicken was the best part of the dish. BUN BO HUE: My partner ordered the bun bo hue and he mentioned that it was just mediocre. It wasn't as spicy as he would liked. THAI ICED TEA: Standard but delicious! I would recommend if you were thinking of grabbing a drink here. SERVICE: Food came out fairly quickly and staff was nice. read more

I order from here regularly for over 7 years. I love pad thai, pad see ew, teriyaki salmon and lately Tom Yum Pad Thai. All of them are really good. Honestly, I am surprised more people have not commented on Tom Yum Pad Thai because it is really good. Little bit of sweet, little bit spicy and lots of flavor. I like their Pad Thai, it is always good but leftover sometimes is too sweet for me. But Tom yum pad Thai, I I love the leftover. Highly recommend! read more

Was in the area, got hungry, and noticed this restaurant. This is a small cozy little spot with street parking only. Staff was nice and food came out fast and hot. Ordered the Tom yum pad thai since I have never had that flavor pad thai before. I do not regret it at all. It was very delicious. I had it with chicken, which was not too dry. The noodles were cooked to perfection. Love the tom yum flavor in the noodles. The crushed peanuts is always awesome that adds a bit of a crunch to the chew. Portions of noodles to toppings and protein was good. This spot is absolutely awesome as far as my first experience went. I will come back for other dishes but as of now, I really recommend the Tom yum pad thai. read more

The Bangkok - Thai beef noodle soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Melrose, Massachusetts

For this establishment, my friend and I ordered a curry soup and a fried fish dish with skewered pork and Tom yum soup for appetizers. The skewered pork was delicious and tender. For the other dishes, I felt that the spice level as well as the flavor intensity were not strong enough. When it comes to Thai restaurants, I expect lots of flavor and lots of spices which I found lacking in the dishes. The food wasn't bad and I did enjoy it, but it fell below expectations. For the ambiance, it was small but it did have a cozy vibes. The only issue was that they had a lot of delivery orders so people would stand in front of the counter which made the place packed as well as leave the door open which made it feel cold. For service, the employees were professional and friendly. They were attentive and when I needed something, they made sure to help with the issue read more

This is the best Thai food in the area in my opinion. Recently we dined in for the first time and love the atmosphere of the small restaurant (bright striped pillows on the chairs). Very helpful and nice server, but on this night, she was the only one! - juggling a busy take out and delivery biz with the diners. read more

Absolutely phenomenal Thai food. Great service. Very flavorful. Beautiful presentation. - Crab fried rice was so good. - Green curry was full of flavor and wonderful chicken and veggies. - Khao Soi - curry broth with noodles, stewed chicken, red onion, and fried egg noodles. I just couldn't believe how fresh and flavorful everything was. Best Thai food I have had in years! read more

The Bangkok has been consistently one of favorite spots to visit. The service is friendly and timely, portions generous, and food flavorful! The green curry is perfectly creamy yet has the slightest spice kick. The tofu absorbs the sauces from the pad see ew allowing for juicy bites. The Tom yum soup highlights the beauty of sour notes in Thai cuisine that many restaurants lack. Truly a taste of Thailand. 5/5 read more

A cozy and small place with 5 small table and a friendly and attentive staff. The food is very good, I ordered the Tom Yum soup, wow!! So good, good amount of veggie, is perfectly balanced between sour and a bit spicy. For entree; the chicken yellow curry, it is made with assorted veggies, the only one thing I don't like that much is that is slightly sweet, next time I will ordered the panang curry. And also the grilled pork bun, big portion and very fresh ingredients. read more

So I got an order of chicken drunken noodles, and khao soi for delivery on a weekday night. Delivery was quick and the food was still warm when it arrived. The khao soi was delicious and I recommend it to anyone especially those who only typically only get pad Thai or pho. The curry broth was smooth and rich. It comes with a huge drumstick. The drunken noodles were also good. I'm looking forward to trying other dishes from The Bangkok. read more

the CUTEST little hole in the wall, in a small district of buildings. Park wherever you can and just walk, it's worth it. The waitress (I think owner) was so sweet and answered any questions I had. The food came out super fast. The pad Thai was so delicious, great flavor and a plate big enough to feed two people! The summer rolls were super fresh as well, I didn't try the sauce that came with it due to the peanuts in it but it didn't need it anyways. Definitely will be returning. read more

Amazing food Off street parking - limited but available. I've only ordered takeout - the food is delicious. The place is a little small only a few tables but there is always one to be available. It's nice and quiet and the staff is very friendly. I order from them frequently and my food is usually ready in less than the time that they quoted, which is really nice because I've never had to wait. read more

When you order food to be delivered to a friend (this was in 2021), you might end up ordering from somewhere that you have zero personal experience with. The Bangkok is such a business, because it just isn't in my neighborhood, nor in my stomping grounds. However, Yelp and Grubhub both showed good ratings, and Thai is generally family friendly, so there you go. The Bangkok offers online ordering from their own website via ChowNow. Yelp also offers delivery for them that is fulfilled by Grubhub. Both have a $15 minimum, and a $2 delivery fee. But I noticed that the pricing on Grubhub was a bit elevated, and I prefer doing business direct with a local business when possible. Unfortunately I had trouble completing my order online. No idea why, but calling the restaurant direct did the job. The lady handling the calls also handled the food allergies well, inquiring with other parties when necessary before responding to me. When we altered the order from delivery to take-out (since they would be ready for pick up in 15 minutes, but delivery was going to be at least 45 min - 1 hour [generally quite reasonable, but potentially a hardship for a family with young children]) she even remembered to pause to remove the delivery fee before quoting me the new tally. My friend found The Bangkok to be strong with their flavors. The steamed veggies that came with the Tamarind Duck $15 were bright and nicely presented. They enjoyed the Pad See Ew $10 with beef $2, and found the grilled chicken on the Vietnamese Rice Plate $11 to be pretty yummy on the basically standard dish. The Crispy Chicken $2 Pad Thai $10 was also tasty, but lost some crispiness due to the commute. The Bangkok may have won over some new customers with their tasty food and their ability to handle their allergies. *** Yup, my friend returned to The Bangkok (2022!) after having watched the staff at another local business establishment handle their food with the same gloved hands that had previously grasped cheese. A new order was placed here for the kiddies enroute, and all was well! *** As a non-parent of children with allergies, I would suggest, communicate, communicate, communicate. The lady who answered my phone call at The Bangkok took my concerns seriously, and I appreciated it. But I know my friend has received more lax responses from other businesses. So while my personal tendency at receiving an unrequested extra ingredient, is "bonus!" I understand that may not be the case for those with life threatening allergies to contend with. read more

Was in the area and glad I had a chance to try this amazing Thai/Vietnamese eatery place out. Its a little small but very cute with about 3-4 tables. The service was really fast and staff was quite friendly. The Bun Bo Hue I had was quite amazing and flavorful, price is quite reasonable with the amount of food. I enjoyed it so much I ended up ordering something else to take home with me since I'm not from the area. Definitely would be a regular coming back for more. Parking was a little tricky but nothing too painful as Melrose is a pretty suburban area, I was able to find some one hour parking on the side streets. I'll be visiting here more often during warmer seasons for sure as they're pretty close to the Fells. read more

Moved to the area recently and wanted to try out this place after hearing really good stuff about it! Note that this place is pretty small - seems like it's more known for takeout during lunch time, as we (2) were the only people sitting there the majority of the time during lunch. The people here are really attentive and friendly! We got the Khao Soi Noodle Soup and the Indo Fried Rice. Portion size was really good for the price - couldn't finish the noodle soup in one sitting personally. Both the Indo Fried Rice and Khao Soi were super flavorful and their Khao Soi is possibly one of my favorites in the Boston area. The chicken was super tender and the meat fell off quite easily. Have been thinking about this place since - definitely will be coming back soon! Such a gem! read more

What a cute little place! The whole menu looks bomb I wasn't sure what to get. Ordered the fresh rolls and crispy tofu, which are something light to start. I also ordered a chicken vermicelli bowl. Sooo much flavor! The chicken is juicy and seasoned perfectly. The sauce it comes with is sweet and spicy, but not extremely spicy. I left feeling full and satisfied. Prices are super cheap! Lunch was $30 for two people, each with an appetizer and entree. I can tell this place is well liked as people constantly come in and out for takeout orders. We will be back for the pho! read more

I've come back to The Bangkok a handful of more times and must update my review to five stars. This is some of the best Thai in all of Massachusetts. At this point, I'm a regular despite the fact that I live pretty far away. I recommend their chicken larb, drunken noodles, stew beef noodle soup, tom yum fried rice, tom yum soup, coffee, and Thai iced tea. You really can't go wrong here.. the food is truly fresh and flavorful. read more

Consistently this place delivers exceptional quality, flavor and service. Every time I'm here, I try something new and it's exceptional. I can't even make up my mind on what is my favorite dish. Even at takeout, they're wrapped carefully and clean. It doesn't take away from the experience of eating it close by, I love that. read more

Outstanding! After wasting our money on a terrible experience at a well-known Saugus place (K!), we were blown away at the quality of the food, the flavors, the variety and speed with hich our order was ready. And the large order (6 people, 6 apps) was accurate! (Definitely worth noting!) And kind and courteous service. We'll be going back very soon! read more

just a quick update here, had the wonton soup and it was the best wonton soup i've ever had, the broth was sublime. (my guess is it is the beef pho broth) and I'm thinking about it the same way I thought when I saw my first sport illustrated swimsuit edition when I was a teenager. wow. read more

The new boat noodles soup is excellent. Since I moved to the Boston area from LA eleven years ago, I was able to only find two places that had decent boat noodles. The other one is in Cambridge and is a pain for me to get there. I'm so glad Bangkok decided to add it to the menu recently! read more

We saw great reviews for this restaurant and were excited to try it! Vietnamese food is my favorite cuisine ever, so I'm not a harsh critic by any means because I realize there are a variety of ways to prepare it. We had two traditional pho bowls and some appetizers. The pho lacked protein, in an extremely stingy way where we finished the meat in 2 bites and were left with a huge bowl of noodles. I haven't experienced this any where else while having pho, as Vietnamese restaurants tend to be generous with their portions. Here, there was a lack of protein and portion ratio. The broth for the pho was good! The appetizers came luke warm instead of nice and hot - the chicken wings were our favorite. Overall, an underwhelming experience and not worth it even at the cheap prices. I'd rather pay more or go elsewhere so I leave feeling full instead of leaving with full bowls of noodles! read more

This place is awesome. I have been looking forward to coming back from the second that I left! My boyfriend and I came by for dinner and had such a great time. They have an extensive menu, great service, and their dishes are HUGE! I love the decor too - it really is a little hidden gem. I ordered the drunken noodles with tofu and we shared the tofu spring rolls and a Thai iced tea. Everything was amazing and so flavorful. Thinking about it now.... I might go back tonight! Go for dinner! You won't regret it! read more
