    Service stinks

    The service at lunch has always been good - went to dinner last week, and it took almost 2 hours to get our food, and then it took having to track down the only waitress on duty, and tell her that we were tired of seeing other tables get served. We never did get our soup. The food is good - not great. I won't go back

    The food here is good but I have had much better. It seems to have more Chinese influence than other places.

    I went to Bangkok house for the first time last week to dine in, and again tonight for carry-out. Both times I couldn't be happier with the quality of the food. I enjoyed the satay appetizer to dine in, but would probably not get it to-go because when dining in it's served with a grated sternal so you can marinate and cook the sauce into the chicken. Really delicious. I also tried their spring rolls and they are really fresh and tasty. For my entree I got Praram Long Song. It's a great dish with a creamy peanut sauce, vegetables and choice of meat. I enjoyed it alot, very rich flavors.

    Bangkok House is the best Thai!

    • Your Rating: 0/5 Stars
    • Average Rating: 5.0/5 Stars

    I love Bangkok House! They have the best Pad Thai in Lansing. I also really love #20 Praram Long Song, it has a thick peanut-buttery sauce and is very tasty. This is by far my favorite Thai restaurant and one of my favorite foods. This is the first place that my mom and I go whenever I pick her up from the Airport when she comes to visit. However, my husband doesn't like it that much because it doesn't have a very great ambiance- it's definitely not fine dining and is a little dingy, so if that kind of thing bothers you, get take out.

    Decline in quality

    This establishment was once one of my favorite eateries. I admit I have not been there in a few years. Recently I went there for seafood take out. The dish included mussels (love them). Approximately 2 hours after eating lunch I became deathly ill. Since I did not eat anything else that day, I concluded it could only be the lunch I picked up from Bangkok House. After several more hours of misery, I began to recover. I should have paid attention to the fact the mussels tasted peculiar. I shared my experience with a collegue at work and they infomed me they had had a similar incident just the month before. Too bad, I won't be returning to this establishment again. I have also advised friends not to go.

    Excellent Thai!!!

    • Your Rating: 0/5 Stars

    Excellent food, but their service needs to improve. The problem is it's family run and two people can only handle so much during the lunch rush. So I guess its the collateral damage of having amazing, authentic, mom/pops style thai food; you have to deal with the family. But it is definitely worth it!

    Best in Lansing

    This place is excellent. I go there often, and have not been disappointed. The Pad Thai is exquisite.. so is the Tom Yun soup. And yes, they spice it up quite a bit, so if you can't handle really hot food, order it Mild. Better than any Thai in Lansing/East Lansing.

    Best Thai in Lansing

    • Your Rating: 0/5 Stars

    This restaurant has the best Thai food in Lansing IMO. Worth checking out! Don't ask for very hot unless you have a steel tongue. They sever beer which is good and the service is very good. The ambiance is nothing special but it is nice. I would rate Bangkok house as one of my top 5 restaurants in lansing.

    If you like spicey thai food, this is the place. Bangkok House has the best Pad Thai in Lansing by far. The atmosphere is lacking.. but the prices are cheap and the food is what really counts.

    I have been here several times.
    I agree the smoking could be disgusting.
    However, I cannot remember if it ever bothered me here.
    They will make the food as spicy as you want it; mild, medium, hot, bring out the spice tray.
    I like my food hot and I get it hot. :-) Whew

    Not so great

    • Your Rating: 0/5 Stars
    • Average Rating: 2.0/5 Stars

    I ate at this restaurant while visiting Lansing. The food was pretty bad. The "curry" was more like a Chinese-style brown sauce. The atmosphere could have been ok if they offered more separation between smoking and non-smoking sections. I can't stand to smell smoke while I'm eating, and the place was thick with it.
