What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Bangkok@12 Thai is lauded for its authentic flavors, generous portions, and reasonable prices, offering classic Thai dishes and unique curries. While many praise the prompt service and delicious food, some reviews note inconsistencies in spice levels and suggest that certain dishes, particularly seafood, might not always be fresh. The restaurant is considered a great value and a worthwhile stop for those seeking traditional Thai cuisine.
"Very good som tam & sticky rice. It actually was as spicy as I wanted it with fresh bird's eye chiles (I ordered "Thai hot"). The khao soy was delicious--I would definitely order it again. If I'm being picky, it could have crunchier noodle on top and more pickled greens, but it tastes great. Big portions. My friend's roti looked good too. I would probably try something with roti next time and get dessert too."

"Always prompt dine-in service, no matter the hour. The food is consistently delicious. Creamy curries, tasty thai tea, and awesome noodles choices, my favorite drunken noodles and that chow mein."
Norma Mendoza
"I had the Chicken Pad Thai to-go, and it was incredible! I placed my order online, and they had it prepared within the 10 minutes it took for me to arrive! I was highly impressed at the speed they prepared it and how fresh it was! The Pad Thai was super yummy, and I really enjoyed that their sauce was not too heavy on it! My stomach felt happy afterwards instead of bloated like other times I have a Pad Thai! This was perfect :)
Also, the lady who was working gave me a rose along with my order!! SO kind and absolutely brightened my day!! I look forward to returning and trying more dishes!!"
