Bangkok Cafe - Richmond

Wonderful meal today after spending the morning exploring all the events in downtown Fredricksburg. Troll Festival, Farmers Market and the Welsh Festival. Food was so fresh and flavorful, presented nicely and fairly quickly.

Got taken out from here. Had the gift bag appetizer and gyoza, both of which were delicious. For an entree I had the red curry which was very delicious. Flavors were all there, and they give you a very clear and straightforward rating system to determine how spicy you want your curry. There's quite a few interesting things on the menu and I will definitely eat there again.

I didn't think Thai food could be messed up until now. I found this place down the street from my hotel and figured it was a good spot. I walk in and all the chairs are up. They only do carry-out. The girl that came to take my order seemed so uninterested like her family forces her to work there. She didn't even greet me. I ordered beef pad see ew and when I got outside, I realized they hadn't packed me utensils. So I went back in to ask, and the girl just points at the table in the corner and tells me to get it myself. If they're trying to actually keep customers coming back, this ain't the way to do it. On top of that, my pad see ew was salty and the broccoli was not happy looking. Find somewhere else.

While the food is excellent the driver was angry when he arrived due to traffic on Plank Rd. He got very snippy with me and said they would have to change the delivery policy to less than 4 mile radius. When I said it wasn't likely I would come to his restaurant, he just shrugged it off and took his 40% cash tip that I gave him and left. When I called and spoke to manager he didn't seem to care that the driver was rude so I will not order from this place again. This was my first and last experience with them. It's a shame because my husband really loved the Pad Thai and we have been unable to find a good Asian restaurant to frequent.

Spent some me time in Downtown Fredericksburg today and stopped in Bangkok Cafe for the first time. The handsome host at the door (His name was Um) did not disappoint with his customer service. Extremely patient, friendly, and knowledgeable. I will DEFINITELY be back to this gem.
