I visited Bangkok House in Oxford while in the city for a project with .... , needing a quick dinner before my train. I ordered the classic phat kaphrao—a dish I have enjoyed in many places around the world—so I was keen to see their take on it. The food arrived in attractive Thai-style dishes, but the flavours didn’t quite deliver: the basil was noticeably sparse, and the overall taste felt muted rather than vibrant and aromatic. A dish that usually sings with holy basil, chilli, and savoury depth was just “OK” rather than memorable here. Staff were friendly, though service felt somewhat rushed. It was an okay option for a fast meal, but not one I would repeat.
The overall atmosphere was okay, the seafood pad Thai was quite bland with some incredibly chewy calamari, the beef was okay, nice sauce but quite chewy. What felt a bit extra meh was the fact that even tho the experience was meh the server proceeded to round the payment to £60 even tho the whole total was £57, now I understand this is marginal, but with the food being as mid as it was, this type of penny pinching leaves me with no desire to return.
This place is the real deal. As soon as the “moo-ping” (bbq pork skewers) were on the table I could immediately tell they had been grilled over charcoal. This place doesn't cut corners! The green curry was authentically spicy and not the sugary soup you find from most places. We over ordered and everything was excellent. Service and decor are top notch as well. อร่อยทุกอย่าง คอนเฟิร์มค่ะ
Super attentive staff and amazing food. The restuarant had a warm atmosphere and the food came wonderfully presented and cooked perfectly. Grilled chicken was succulent and tasty, rice and noodles were warm and soothing and the papaya salad was fresh and flavourful. Items were also well priced, me and my partner had a lovely evening, will be coming back another time :

The staff is welcome, the food is good… but the service is not good at all. The waitress tried three times to serve food I never ordered and tried to tell me that I ordered. We were waiting more then 50 min for starters and more then hour for one simple cury. Definitely my family will never come back!
My favorite place to eat in Oxford. Everything I 've tried here has been exceptional and the service is always friendly. I miss their old place across the street but their 'newer ' location is modern and very well decorated. I 'll be back again. Highly recommended.
Amazing food. Best Thai I've had in the UK. The massaman, red curry, dumplings and sticky rice are particularly outstanding. Staff are really helpful, good, well-priced wine selection, very chilled dining.
Amazing food, drinks and service. They have been running for over 30 years and the reason is because they are hands down the best Thai restaurant in Oxford
