    I definitely do not enjoy leaving bad reviews for restaurants considering how difficult it is to be in that business right now but our experience warrants that. We ordered two dishes, the pad tofu and the “Poor man’s noodles.” Both were so disappointing…the noodles were dry and flavorless. The pad tofu was just some frozen vegetables in a very watery brown sauce with white rice. When we opened our food at our house, I had to basically cook the vegetables with the rice and add seasoning and soy sauce to add flavor. And we ended up paying $25 for both…maybe we just didn’t order the right items but when you’re paying $10+ per entree, you’d expect something slightly better then what you can make yourself at home. Anyways, we will continue our hunt for good Thai food in Omaha!

    It doesn't look like much from the outside, and I was shocked that the place was so empty, but Bangkok Kitchen is a great place to get a taste of Thailand. The meal was absolutely delicious. We had the crab rangoons, chicken pad thai, and drunk en noodles. The food came out quick. The entire meal for two of us was just around $30.

    Perfect spot to grab authentic Thai food. The sum tom was terrific and super spicy. All the food we order were very flavorful. A bit pricey, but its worth a stop. We took a lime ride from double tree and took us 5 minutes. Don't drink the water please. The wait staff will serve water while putting his fingers and hand all over the rim. If you do drink the water please ask for straws. This is the only set back. Food was amazing. Location:easy to find. Abit Pricey Overall, I recommend this eatery for all your Thai fixes. Just don't drink the water served by the waitstaff.

    I loved their food. We tried Thai Chicken Wings, Pad thai, and Tom Yum Soup. All were great.

    Place looks the same visiting this place after 6-8 years, dishes taste good but you can tell that the chef has changed and a bit different.. fried wontons were the one that definitely gave it away chef could not wrap the meets inside as seen her … so maybe a miss … but the taste is still good.

    Ordered the Pad Kua Gai with beef. The food came out very quickly. I ended up ordering a second plate because it was very good but not sufficiently filling (it was the only thing I ordered and I was very hungry). One of my lunch guests ordered a different dish with a much bigger portion that maybe could have been enough. I would definitely go back again and probably get the same dish but also try an appetizer to go with it

    Mouthwatering good! My friend and I were in from Las Vegas recently. We love Thai food and eat it everywhere we travel to. We had Bangkok kitchen 2 days in a row because it was so excellent! Not to mention, excellent and friendly service.

    We ordered takeout based on reviews and were not disappointed. This was the best Thai food I've had in a while. The Pad Thai was flavorful and everything, down to the steamed vegetables (which, let's face it, are usually a boring afterthought at these places) was delicious. Highly recommend.

    Authentic Thai Food in downtown Omaha! I was craving Thai food and found Bangkok Kitchen on an internet search. I walked the one mile to eat here from my hotel, and it was worth it. They offer spice levels 1-10, and I enjoyed a 5 on both the Pad Se-ew and the Tom Kah Chicken Soup. The soup definitely had more heat than the noodles. The seating area was empty as it was a Tuesday night, but there were two others at tables. The service was attentive and my water glass was always full. I enjoyed the food very much and will definitely be back when I am in Omaha.

    Great spot for some good food! Best crab rangoons I’veever had. Lightly fried and airy crunch to it. Must try! Pad Thai was delicious! Curry was decent, though I’ve had better. Chicken wings were fried perfectly!

    The food was really disappointing and was hoping I found a great little place. The yellow curry had literally raw onion two chunks of potato and a couple of chunks of chicken floating in what tasted like 2% milk with some turmeric or something to make it yellow. It was really disappointing. I had a wide noodle dish with what appeared to be 3-day-old noodles heated in some kind of weird sauce that was not appetizing at all. Where is the veg and the flavor? Will never go back the food was awful.

    We have tried many Thai places in the U.S. Our favorite is in a small town in Manhattan, KS. This was our second favorite! Delicious Pad See Ew and Red curry (we are picky about our noodles). The atmosphere is clean and cozy with fun plants at the entrance. Must try!

    We have been coming here for over 20 years. Victor and his family made incredible food and you always felt special walking in. I was extremely sad to hear about him retiring, but was happy to hear that he trained the new owner on the original recipes. We went and got our usual, Thai fried rice, broccoli with brown sauce, a stir fry noodle dish and spring rolls. The spring rolls tasted the same. But the rice in both dishes were gummy and stuck together, which I have never experienced before from this place until now. With the broccoli and brown sauce, the sauce was just bland. And I ordered a spice level 4 and could barely taste any spice at all. The stir fry noodles were supposed to be a saucy dish, but they were so dry and flavorless and that was supposed to be a spice level 3. I am very sad and disappointed that my favorite Thai place just isn't the same. Hoping that maybe they'll take notes to get it back to the amazing food that it once was but until then, it looks like I will be finding a new Thai restaurant.

    Notice: TAKEOUT ONLY, for now. There's also a $1 increase in price for entrees. Business owners or local guides should help update this page. I'm writing this review as a tourist. Ordered takeout, got a Chicken Green Curry and Thai Tea. Quite disappointed. (No pictures because it was all in styrofoam and plastic) Green Curry: Although tasted good, it had barely had any greens. Huge amounts of bamboo shoots and weirdly only a few pieces of bell pepper. It had none of the vegetables you would find in an authentic green curry like Asian eggplants or snow peas, and not even any herbs to garnish. Felt too cheaply made for something that is priced at over $10. Thai Tea: ASK FOR LESS ICE. Tasted good first sip, but too much ice. Drink got too diluted halfway into my meal. Overall, I didn't enjoy it. It would have been a good meal if food was priced below $10, but since it's over $10, it should have some standards, and for the curry I just felt like it wasn't up to par. But hey, if you're local, do support them, these are hard times right now. Maybe try the noodles since they look good from the pictures.

    Excellent vegan options. Good portions. I loved the spring rolls and the green curry.

  • 5/5 Tatiana B. 10 months ago on Google
    My favorite Thai restaurant in Omaha. Crag Rangoon were light and fresh. Small dining area. Spice level 1-10. Excellent food. Oh yeah, get the Thai iced tea!

  • 3/5 Akchaya K. 10 months ago on Google
    The food was good, but the portion size was small. But the guy who was serving us was very condescending and did not like the experience. I may order takeout next time instead of going through that experience.

  • 1/5 Maribel M. 1 year ago on Google
    I love Thai food! But I also love good service. I ordered lunch today, and the service that I was provided today was the most horrible service ever. The owner is usually quite, but okay, but today he wasn’t that nice at all, maybe he was having a bad day perhaps I don’t know, but is not my fault. I’ll probably never go back again, but the food is delicious.. this is for the manager/ owner. You need to give good service, and have a smile on your face when speaking to customers, also maybe offering something to drink or if the customers needs anything else will be greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

    This place cannot be beat for Thai food. Pad Thai and Curry are especially delicious. Good rolls too. Always friendly. Very affordable.

  • 2/5 Yue W. 1 year ago on Google
    The noodle portions are quite small, you won’t get full after the noodle and a dessert. And I ordered 5 level of spice, it turned out it had no spice inside at all.

  • 3/5 Nickel P. 1 year ago on Google
    Owner was very nice, allowed us to dine in. Portions were way too small for the prices. We were served out of our to go boxes which weren't even full. Food tasted fine though.

  • 2/5 Shahad 2 years ago on Google
    my order was sweet and sour I couldn’t eat the chicken because of the smell. I would recommend to clean the chicken with lemon.

  • 4/5 Logemann W. 5 years ago on Google
    The waitress is so sweet and place is clean. I give 5 star for that and 4 star for the food. The price is affordable.

  • 3/5 Shawn H. 4 years ago on Google
    Good food, simple decor. Took awhile to get menus etc. The Thai tea is to die for... could be addictive 😄 I had chicken pad thai. The noodles were thin type. You are asked spice level... 0 - 10. Tasty. My family had Ginger chicken & Sweet and Sour w/ fried tofu. The fresh spring rolls were light & filled with lettuce and veggies. 3 rolls cut in half easy to share. The dipping sauce was a delicious sweet chili type.

  • 5/5 Oscar G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great local Thai place. Their dining room has been closed since COVID started, so it's carryout only, and still is as of this 2022 review. Great food, regardless.

  • 5/5 Riana Lurice D. 1 year ago on Google
    Need a good thai place in Downtown Omaha? Then Bangkok Kitchen is the spot! Due to COVID, they are still doing takeout orders, but it should not stop you from trying their amazing, authentic Thai cuisine. There are variety of options for you to choose from, even with different levels of spicyness. For a moderate kick, I would go for a 5! Would definitely recommend supporting this business with the sweetest owners :)

    Ive been coming here for 20 years but here lately they have new cooks and the quality of food has went down. The food has been very salty with smaller portions. Sure Miss Victor and his wife in the kitchen
