Reviews for Bangkok Bistro Thai Eatery in Manalapan Township, NJ
We visited last week and Wow the food was delicious. We had the avocado spring roll with the peach sauce. It had large pieces... of avocado. For dinner, we had the Jungle Flank steak that comes with rice, chili and a bunch of vegetables. We also had theMango spicy sweet & sour and that comes with rice. Chicken, beef, shrimp and vegetables all mixed together. When we tasted it,we ate it all before realizing we forgot to take a photo of the entrée. It was that good. For Desert we had the creme brulecheesecake. Hands up to the chef. We met Jack the owner and his children they were all hands on in the entire service. They havegreat energy and awesome customer service. Jack we will be back to try some more of your delicious Thai food. Everything wasgreat ???? Read more
Overall good with with generous amount of seafood and protein. Thai ice tea was served in a huge beer mug.
Vegetarian review: Straight-up, this place is better than Thai Thai (absolutely tasteless food overflowing with coconut milk)... and Thai Shangri-la (IMO) which is low on the flavor bar for the same dish. That being said, the young guy that mans the storehas a flattering sense of what is spicy for his Thai restaurant. If you are used to eating Fire Sauce at Taco Bell, the numbertwo spice level at Bangkok Bistro Thai Eatery is below it. I imagine spice level number 3 is probably more around it. I ordereda Thai basil dish with vegetables and fried tofu. Overall, I would say the dish beat the other remaining Thai restaurants inthis general area, but on its own it didn't taste much like Thai basil. It seemed like they used salt to cover the lack ofoverall flavor so be prepared for that. Lastly, this place is expensive. Very expensive for the quantity of food in the qualityof skill in cooking it that you receive at the end. $17 for a smaller than usual size container was a bit too much to chargefor. Even the dry red chili that the game on the side is not typically Thai spicy level. So if you like your food with moreheat than you may want to ask for extra red chili powder. Read more
It was excellent food and friendly staff. The Tom Kha Gai was a different take than what we've been used elsewhere. Our main... course dishes were so tasty, even as leftovers the next day Read more
Absolutely loved the delicious and authentic thai food. Satay, pad Thai, basil fried rice, avocado spring rolls are great in... quality and quantity. They have really good vegetarian options. It is a small place and perhaps dine in over the weekends mightneed prior reservation but my first time here and i did pickup. Considering the size of the place and how crowded it was when Igot there my food was ready to be picked when I got there. Read more
I went here for the first time with family. The restaurant does a significant takeout business so while the restaurant was not... crowded, the food felt fresh. There was enough food in one entree to have leftovers for lunch. The see eww was very tasty, butnote as per the description that it is very sweet. Next time I will try the kee mao. The green curry was quite creamy and spicy.The seasoning of the Thai basil was a highlight. A few people had pad Thai with mixed reviews. My family either loved it or didnot like it. I prefer flat rice noodles that feel more fried and less coated in sauce. It would be nice if there were papertowels in the bathrooms so people aren?t locking the door with dirty hands and opening the door with clean hands. The staff werevery nice. Read more
Hands down the best Thai place in the area. I'm so glad to have found this little gem. The pad Thai here is by far the best, and... most flavorful, pad Thai that you'll arguably ever have. Even after finishing the generous portion size, the taste left in yourmouth makes you crave for just one more bite. The restaurant itself feels a little tight, but the atmosphere and food more thanmake up for it. Read more
Excellent local venue with massive thai iced teas and a great pad kee mow. Run by a local family. They ran out of thai iced... coffee, which was disappointing; however, look at the size of their thai iced tea! Read more
