In Short
This low-key eatery blends the sweet and spice of Southeast Asian cuisine simply. While the decor of colored twinkle lights and diner-style seating seems an afterthought, the food takes center stage. The prawn satay features a sublimely sweet peanut sauce and tangy pickled cucumbers. The chicken pad thai is both savory and wickedly hot, and for the more daring, the fiery, stir-fried ginger pork is flanked by rice, crucial for taming the spicy zing.

From the outside the Bangkok Kitchen is deceiving. It used to be a gas station. The building is pretty unassuming. The interior is not great - this restaurant does not get points for ambiance. However, the thai food is quite good and authentic. The prices are very reasonable. If you live in the neighborhood, this is a great place to frequent or even better get take out.

My favorite Thai food is back in Hawaii, but this place is the best I have been to on the mainland. A very small place that seems strange at first when you enter since the kitchen is right there. Any strange feelings quickly go away as soon as the food arrives. Must try.

I live really close to this thai place and love thai food so i thought i had died and gone to heaven. i had the pad thai and it actually tasted just like rice noodles. no flavor, but somehow i still managed to get sick from it. I tired the pad kee mow (sp?) a few months later, and it tasted sub par AND got me sick again. Don't go here.
