Bangkok City Review

In a neighborhood loaded with Thai restaurants, this is my top choice. Tempting aromas and cordial employees greet you as you check out the exotic decor and lengthy menu. Appetizers are the usual dumplings and satays, plus unique items like "Boston triangles" (tasty fried pork-and-shrimp patties). Entrees range from mild pad thai to blow-your-hair-back curries, with many vegetarian options. The mix-and-match selection of proteins and sauces is larger than at many other Thai restaurants, so you can let your palate's imagination run wild. (Oh, great -- now I want some tamarind duck.) Hot tip: The friend who steered me to this place comes here just for the zesty salt-and-pepper squid.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
