Bangkok Cafe in Arlington Heights

Concurrently place, great food, friendly family owners

Long-time fan, since they had the place on Golf. Wonderful dining experience, especially with outdoor seating.

Hospitality- one star. No greetings. No smile. No etiquettes. We wanted to sit in so we tried to walk in but owner or manger just called us from outside and just made us seat outdoors.Ambiance- didnt give us chance to look into that. Outdoor seating is very casual and does not have umbrellas. Being in Arlington Heights downtown, I expected better experience.Food- food was average.Only one more table of 2 was there. In believe its a famous.

Giving this place 3 stars because the food was not as good as other Thai restaurants. Rice was undercooked and noodles were just okay. Service also slow for a slow night.

I went to the restaurant with my friend. When we got there, the waitress (most likely the ownerwas pushy about ordering. The food was good, the portion size was small. While we were still eating, the waitress brought receipt waiting for us to pay. My friend and I tried to split the bill using 2 credit cards but the waitress wouldn’t accept saying they would face an additional $0.75I would not go back again

Food is amazing, quick to the table with outstanding service. The Rangoons were full of filling and the Red Curry was outstanding. Coming again for sure.

The food was delicious and nice. The staff are friendly.

amazing staff, atmosphere, and food. felt like family as soon as we came in. kitchen goes above and beyond to serve the freshest and most authentic dishes. will be coming here weekly. thank you so much !

Authentic and family owned. My heart and tummy left full. Cutest family that owns it And the BEST pad see ew dish that I’ve ever had. So yummy— the flavor and texture were on point. Thank you! Can’t wait to be back🥰

Everything was SO GOOD. We got the Bangkok Combo so we could try a bit of everything. The cold peanut noodles and the chicken satay were my favorites, hubs loved the spring rolls. My husband got the scallops and they were out of this world, cooked perfectly. To top it off, the service was wonderful. Well be back very soon :)

Me and my wife ordered a total of four main dishes. We have been to at least 10 dine-in Thai restaurants in the northwest Chicago suburbs and this was our most negative experience. As we walked in the restaurant, the lady who came up to us asked " SIT OR GO " in a very rude way , even after my wife who is Thai said hi to her first. Second, I haven been in Thailand many times and trying many Tom Yum soups, this was the WORST tom yum I ever had. It basically tasted like drinking bowl of $15 spicy water.Now the positives: The other 3 main dishes were decent size and the price were reasonable. The food tasted average. The Pad Thai was pretty good. Also, our server was polite and attentive.Will not go there again.

We have been going here for years, but tonight’s dinners were skimpy. They’ve definitely cut their portions down.Next time we will get appetizers to supplement because we are still feeling hungry.

WOW! What a fabulous dinner! Service = perfection! The Chardonnay and Singha beer = deeelish! The chicken satay and spring roll appetizers = fabulous! And the pad Thai - just rounded out the best dining experience in months! Did I mention the fried banana dessert that is sweet yet light (trulyand plenty share!Please support local ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS THIS GREAT! Cheers to you Bangkok Cafe for keeping the family business local and sharing your gracious hospitality and culinary expertise with all of us!

The Pad Thai is the best i Have ever eaten. I am in the hospital now and it will be several months before I can eat again. It is the thought of that pad Thai that keeps me going. As soon as I can eat again I will be having the pad Thai dinner with spring rolls. I cannot say enough about how great the food is at this establishment. The sisters are so polite and generous. Hope to see you all there, Charlie

Pad Tai was not good. Tom Yum terrible. Ive tasted many versions of these dishes, but the ones at Bangkok Cafe just did not taste well, especially the soup was bitter, and didnt taste like a Tom Yum.

This is a place I will definately be going back to! Id been struggling with a sore throat and found myself wanting tom yum soup like when I was a kid. As my moms gotten older and her tastebuds have changed its very difficult to find someplace that makes a good classic bowl of this soup and god knows I cant make it.My first spoonful had me sold. I also got a custard dessert which was amazing and they even made it look really nice with garnishes and chocolate in the take out box which they didnt have to do.10/10 thank you so much for bringing me back with this classic flavor!

Was a nice night to sit outside enjoy a Singha beer and have yellow chicken curry

Our very favorite Arlington Heights restaurant. Fresh, delicious Thai food. Great service..excellent catering as well.

Everything was delicious!!I had the sweet n sour chicken dinner with noodles,I was so hungry there was no time for pictures... Sorry. Everything we ordered was cooked just right and so flavorful! Service was quick and friendly, will definitely be back!

The best food of Thailand is right here!

My first time and disappointed with the taste of the food that I ordered.

Best Thai food in the Northwest suburbs. Very flavorful dishes with complexity. Pad Thai is a joy. Pendant Curry and Pad Kee Mao are incredible! Each bite reveals more! Generous portion, freshness abounds. I’ve been eating at Bangkok Cafe since 1999 when they were located across from the Golf Rd Jewel. Could they possibly have gotten better over the years? Yes!

Nice quiet Thai restaurant with really good food. Attentive service and decent portion sizes.

Bangkok Cafes food is outstanding. Super fresh and delicious. Great selection. Its a family owned place and the service is wonderful. We dine in and order for takeout here. Never had a bad dish. Faves are basil chicken, all the curry dishes, chicken satay and the spring rolls.

Ok first I am partial to my home town...having said that it doesnt change that this lovely quaint place has some of the best Thai out there. The N5 is my favorite!!

Always has been just delicious. I’ve been eating their food since the 90s when they were located in a long gone strip mall by Golf and Arlington Heights. I love just about everything there but the Penang Curry and the Drunken Noodles are outstanding as is the Pad Thai.

I just want to start by saying that we’ve been eating in Thai restaurants for 25 years al over the states.The food was horrible 👎and not Thai fresh, only one basil dish, chicken was ground 👎,rice soup went into the garage Very rude 👎and not friendly at all, then she claimed that she didn’t speak English after she heard us mumbling about her attitude and complaining about the food. Then she spoke English better and was 🤬very rude😡. Stay away from this place🤮

This spot gives first-rate service and delightful food. One of the best restaurant in the city. The food and drinks served quick and the rates were fair. Highly recommended.

Nothing to complain aboutFood ordered was good, service o.k., we enjoyed it we cant wait to try some other dishs.We will go back!

Really wonderful family Thai restaurant. Well be back.

Taste was good but they should cook rice little more. They gave me fried rice with almost half cooked rice...I am now feeling some pain in my tummy...I should not have eaten what they gave me and ask for replacement......

My favorite thai place around. If you like rich peanut sauce they have it

Food not great—left my pad sew ew uneaten. Slow service. We were only ones in restaurant so they weren’t busy. Had to get up and ask for check. Chocolate fortune cookies...Don’t mess with fortune cookies!!

Highly recommend this family owned restaurant for its fantastic service and food. Six sisters run the restaurant, and they have been in business over 25 years.

All time favorite! Home cooked and its amazing, every time! Simple, fresh soups and salad, and delicious, complex main dishes! I would LOVE for the sisters to do some cooking classes! Their curry is so GOOD!

We went here for my daughters graduation dinner. All of the food is handmade. The staff is friendly. My picky son loved the food. Flavorfull and reasonably price. Relaxing atmosphere.

The 5 sisters straight from Thailand run this place together. Oh my goodness is it good. Theres a lot of GF stuff here they have made me, all you have to do is ask. Let them know youre "allergic to wheat flour/wheat noodle/allergic nd regular soy sauce... that you must have Tamari soy sauce if any is used. Ive NEVER got sick here and the prices are great and portions are HUGE. Cashew chicken has been killer.

Super special time here with the family. Great food with peaceful atmosphere. Friendly service.

Nice & lovely family restaurant.I loved chicken satay & pad Thai here.

Awesome family owned business - food is consistently amazing! Its fresh w nice portions and presentations. V family friendly too. Contemporary and serene atmosphere.

The family that owns this place ate very sweet and friendly. Excellent vegetarian options! Great food! Chic atmosphere!

If I could rate this restaurant at zero starts, I would..The sauces at this place taste NOTHING LIKE what they should.The Panang curry tastes like straight up peanuts, and nothing like any panang ive had anywhere else in the country, and ive eaten panang in several major cities, including Chicago, San Francisco, New York.. Every panang dish Ive ever had was similar in taste until wasting $15 at this garbage place... Id advise against going here.. There are other thai places in Arlington Hieghts that are much better..Shame on you Bangkok Cafe

They have very very good food...Be patient, repeat your order twice and you will be rewarded.

Great food and very nice service. Beautiful and relaxing dining room.

A gem location in downtown Arlington Heights area. Great tasty Thai food. Service could be nicer.

The sisters do such a great job preparing the food and taking care of you whether you dine in or carry out. If you like Thai like I do, I HIGHLY recommend it!

The food was excellent. Try the Thai iced coffee. The pad Thai is nice and light. The crab fried rice is perfectly seasoned.

I got the lunch special and it was a great deal. Tasty food, well prepared! Fast service!

The food is delicious! Order the panang curry; its out of this world! :D

This restaurant is amazing with authentic thai food. Its run by seven sisters who make the best food. Theyre always willing to customize something.
