WHERE WE WENT
You guys know I’m a foodie, I love good food! I heard about
Bangkok a few days before, since I was craving something different, I was tired
of jollof rice, pounded yam, so I said, why not! Bangkok serves Thai food and
this would be my third time eating Thai, did I enjoy myself? Read the rest of
the review! Bangkok Restaurant opens 11:00 am - 11:00 pm, they take Bookings, Walk-ins, Takeaway, Delivery, Catering and Table Service!
WHO I WENT WITH
I went with my youngest sister, Shade aka Baby Scorch aka Miss Chic, so we spent the whole time, gisting
and gossiping, making plans and just enjoying our food. Special Announcement: today is my sisters birthday, YAY! I wonder where we will be visiting this weekend...*wink!
AURA: LOOKEY-FEELY
Bangkok Restaurant is the perfect description of don't judge a book by its cover, Kai, immediate we found the restaurant we both laughed, na here be the Bangkok? It wasn't really ghen-ghen! In fact, I immediately started wondering who send me go. They need to work on their ambience. It was poorly lit but neat. It was quiet, which is good and on that day it wasn't quite filled up. I hope they are making profit from the business because apart from the ambience, the food is GOOOOOOD! Nor be ambience we go chop!
HOSPITALITY
The waitresses were very warm and encouraged us to try out new dishes: we got great customer service. They checked up on us from time to time to see if we wanted anything and they gave us an accurate description of everything we were eating! We even got free pineapple! I thought that was sweet! We couldn't finish the main dish so they put it in a takeaway bowl for us!
WHAT I HAD
I decided to go for a full course, we both shared a starter
which I would advice you to if you go with someone, we shared a platter of mixed appetizers: spring rolls, satay chicken
and wonton…it was so hot, spicy and yummy! I didn't expect it to taste that
good! *licks lips. Our main dish was Fried Rice with Jungle Seafood, that was yummy too, there was Octopus in it! That was my first time eating Octopus! LOL. Not bad. e also had Choo Chee Pla which is stir-fried fish with red curry and coconut milk. Yum, yum, yum! Don't be scared of the name, it actually tastes very very delicious!!! If you go ehn, just order what I ordered for nd you won't be disappointed.
DAMAGE DONE
Ey! Brethren, when we saw our bill we scratch head, it was 14,000 naira! Please my mommy should not know this, that we went out and only 2 of us chop 14k! Ah! If we had split the main dish which was A LOT! we would have saved about 3500 naira. The Choo Chee Pla was 3500 per plate, the appetizer was 2800 per platter, we had drinks, Chapman which was about 600 naira each. This is not an everyday restaurant, but I would go there just for their appetizer sha, that one no too cost.
VERDICT
I looooove it! The food was amazing and the best Thai I have had so far, in fact, I fell in love with Thai food! The decor was not great but the quality of the food, customer service made up for all of that! You should definitely visit Bangkok Restaurant! I want Bobo to come with me on my next visit, he would love it!
HOW MANY LOVES?

ReplyDeleteLMAOOOOO at 14k.......That's a lot! but then, when I do some of these conversions to USD, it doesnt come to a lot afterall.
ReplyDeleteThanks for spreading the word. I've been telling anyone who will listen that Bangkok is the only restaurant I've been to in Lagos that has AUTHENTIC Thai Food.
ReplyDeleteDid you try the chicken spring rolls? Not the regular ones, the chicken. The chicken literally melts in your mouth.
I need to a definitely visit! #Wishlist..
ReplyDeleteThe food makes me want to dive in!
Mmmmmmmm I want!
ReplyDeleteThis can actually pass for the same review I wrote on my website .The experiences shared were 99% similar to mine. The food is so darn tasty. The ambience didn't do it all but the excellent service and food made up for it. I'd go there again and again.
