“Had a wonderful dinner at Bangrak Thai Cuisine in NYC! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish had authentic Thai flavors with the perfect balance of spice and seasoning. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it a great spot for a casual dinner or a night out with friends. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had a great dining experience from start to finish. If you’re looking for delicious Thai food in New York City, Bangrak Thai Cuisine is definitely worth a visit. Looking forward to coming back and trying more items from their menu!”
“I had such a great experience here—definitely one of those places where the food and the overall vibe both stand out. We ordered quite a few dishes, and honestly, everything was well-executed and flavorful. The soft shell crab was crispy on the outside while still tender inside, paired perfectly with the dipping sauce. The grilled steak fried rice was a highlight—very aromatic, with nicely cooked steak and a satisfying wok flavor. The lychee duck panang curry was surprisingly good, rich and creamy with a subtle sweetness that balanced the spices really well. And the mango salad with shrimp was fresh, light, and refreshing—great contrast to the heavier dishes. We also tried the warm chocolate cake, which was soft, rich, and comforting—perfect way to end the meal. Drinks were solid too—the Thai iced tea (with oat milk) had a smooth, slightly creamy texture without being overly sweet. Overall, the presentation, flavors, and portion sizes were all on point. The atmosphere is cozy and stylish, making it a great spot for a casual dinner or a date night. Would definitely come back and try more from the menu.”
“Absolutely incredible food. Had such a good time I went back for dinner for a second round after having lunch on the same day. Thai Iced Coffee - Very sweet and milky, strong and exactly what you should expect if you’ve had Thai iced coffee before. Panang Curry - Extremely warming and cozy. Recommend this the most; if you can only get one thing, get this. Sweet and savory with an excellent assortment of toppings. Mango Sticky Rice - Classic, actually good mango (which is all that matters), no notes. Very good customer service and vibe. Tip well!”
“I had a wonderful experience at Bangrak Thai Cuisine. The vibe is relaxed, cozy, and lovely — a perfect place to enjoy a comfortable meal. I ordered a couple of menu items, and everything was delicious. The grill steak was definitely a highlight — flavorful, well cooked, and very satisfying. I also highly recommend the soft shell crab Khao Soi and the crab noodle clay pot. Both dishes tasted incredibly authentic, rich in flavor, and reminded me of real Thai home-style cooking. Overall, great food, authentic taste, and a warm welcoming atmosphere. I’ll definitely come back again!”
“We have walked by this place a 100 times but today we stopped and regret not trying it sooner because the food was so great! It is very fresh and seasoned extremely well and the dishes come out steaming hot. Everything we had was superb and the staff were attentive and really pleasant. We had the crispy fried tofu 5/5. Chili wings 4/5 (needed just a minute more in the fryer but they tasted great), green curry with chicken 5/5 and Pad Kee Mao with beef 5/5. Most Thai places will list something as spicy on their menu but fall flat and are just bland. But Bangkrak was spot on delicious! Spicy but not tongue on fire heat. The green curry was was bright with notes of lemon grass and a warming heat to it. Pad Kee Mao was rich with a medium chili level and the beef was tender. We are definitely coming back soon! (Happy hour is every day until 8pm with $6 beers and $8 wines.)”
