Bangkok Soul

First time trying this newly opened Thai restaurant. Decided to try them out for their lunch specials. Can't beat the price! The special comes with soup, salad and a drink. Food was good, but I noticed it's underseasoned for my taste. Service was friendly.

We ordered chicken mix with rice , slow cooked pork shoulder, and crab meat fried rice. The chicken mix was delicious and crispy. The pork shoulder tasted fresh as the meat has bounce and not dry. The fried rice has a strong wok smell making it authentic. The amount of crabmeat was generous for the price. The servers were all friendly and humble. The atmosphere feel very new and modern. Very worthwhile to go enjoy at. Quite busy during lunch. Don’t forget to check in on yelp and receive a free Thai tea too.

Bangkok Soul is a new popular Thai restaurant in Alhambra. They offer Thai’s traditional comfort food and drinks such as mango sticky rice, winter melon tea, fresh coconut etc. Interior layout and design were spacious and modest with few art Thai decor. Food menu is vast as well as the drinks. I had the Veggie stir fry rice and winter melon tea. Food was tasty and flavorful. Drink was okay. Staff were nice and competent. Overall, it’s a nice Thai spot with flavorful food. I recommend it.

Our 2nd time trying this place! We tried the garlic green beans and pineapple fried rice for the first time. I don’t think I would get the garlic green beans again, it doesn’t really stand out for me , nothing special. I’m still contemplating on the pineapple fried rice but the satay chicken and pad Thai were so good!

Came here with my parents on a Saturday night and was excited to try a new Thai spot. The restaurant itself has a really nice ambiance, and the servers were friendly and efficient. It’s located in the same plaza as Smart & Final, so parking is easy. We ordered the calamari, Pad Thai, Rad Na, and the orange shrimp. The Pad Thai was decent but a little too sweet for my taste. The Rad Na was very different from what I’ve had before—it was more like a soup and had a tangier flavor than I expected. The calamari was heavily battered and just okay. The orange shrimp was also very battered and extremely sweet. Overall, the food leaned way too sweet for me, and it wasn’t the best experience food-wise, though the service and atmosphere were good.
