Hidden gem in the heart of Downtown Arlington Heights! Amazing food and the sweetest staff who really cares about your experience. Great for big or small groups!
Likely the most authentic taste for miles , real pad Thai , fresh ingredients, outstanding vegetables and herbs , for me an overlooked gem for which we will return!
Women of color owned business with the sweetest sisters running it.
Great food, good friends, good pricing.
The food can be modified however you want, especially in terms of spice. The Papaya salad is AMAZING, though!!! It's a little spicy but super satisfying and crunchy.
The fried catfish is also addictive and the crab Rangoon 🦀 is the best I've had.
The owners are super hardworking and sweet when you get to know them. They treat you like family.

Delicious Thai food with outdoor seating in downtown Arlington Heights! We love this cute place that is VERY affordable- 6-9 dollars for an alcoholic beverage and about 10-20 per person for entrees. Our food came with a surprise small side salad which was fresh and had yummy dressing. They are also great for takeout. Don’t miss trying this place during the summer!
Excellent dishes, desserts and Thai ice tea!
Service was easy, no hustle bustle! All women run business.
During the summer months, outdoor seating and live music not far from the restaurant on Friday evenings!
Free parking near by. Otherwise, there is metered street parking.

Hospitality- one star. No greetings. No smile. No etiquettes. We wanted to sit in so we tried to walk in but owner or manger just called us from outside and just made us seat outdoors.
Ambiance- didnt give us chance to look into that. Outdoor seating is very casual and does not have umbrellas. Being in Arlington Heights downtown, I expected better experience.
Food- food was average.
Only one more table of 2 was there. In believe its a famous.

WOW! What a fabulous dinner! Service = perfection! The Chardonnay and Singha beer = deeelish! The chicken satay and spring roll appetizers = fabulous! And the pad Thai - just rounded out the best dining experience in months! Did I mention the fried banana dessert that is sweet yet light (truly) and plenty share!
Please support local ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS THIS GREAT! Cheers to you Bangkok Cafe for keeping the family business local and sharing your gracious hospitality and culinary expertise with all of us!

This is a place I will definately be going back to! I'd been struggling with a sore throat and found myself wanting tom yum soup like when I was a kid. As my mom's gotten older and her tastebuds have changed it's very difficult to find someplace that makes a good classic bowl of this soup and god knows I can't make it.
My first spoonful had me sold. I also got a custard dessert which was amazing and they even made it look really nice with garnishes and chocolate in the take out box which they didn't have to do.
10/10 thank you so much for bringing me back with this classic flavor!
