Bangkok Street Foods,

233 W Main St, Central, SC 29630, United States

"Note: as of this review, 2 Sept 2023, the door that faces directly out to Main Street does not work to go in -- you have to go around the building to the right and there's another door. Writing this review on the behalf of myself (been to Thailand once only, cannot handle spicy) and my friend (did his master's degree in Thailand, will ask for Thai spicy). The sticky rice is wonderful, my friend loves it and says it's incredible. The pad Thai is definitely amazing, I would say it's better than the one that the place nearby has. You can get it with pork, chicken, or shrimp if you want meat on it, or none if you don't. It's run entirely by two people and they are super nice. There's not a huge amount of seating, 2 tables with 4 chairs, 2 tables with 2 chairs, 1 table with 1 chair (tucked jn a corner), but you can get the food to-go. They bring it out if you're dine-in already in a to-go bowl and give you the lid, so at the end if you have leftovers it's easy to take them along. The portions are generous, I'd say! There's free street parking outside and along the main road, a small free lot just to the side of the building (not the one with the laundromat + car wash, the other one), and there's a small free lot off Sherman (the one-way street partway along downtown). There are some wall outlets inside, if you want to do homework or something while you eat amazing food. Lots of things on the menu are marked gluten-free, some are marked vegan -- I don't know anything about possible cross-contamination, so if you're sensitive to gluten or another allergen, you probably want to ask. Overall, this place is fantastic and I hope they stay open for a good long time. I may have to make this a weekly treat."

"One of the best Thai restaurants I have ever been to! The owners are amazing! We were greeted immediately and well taken care of by “the lady” that owns it, she let us sample the Teas. By sample I mean she brought us a full cup! She also is pretty funny, super attentive, humble and working. Their English is not the best but neither is mine. The food was delicious! It was so authentic it may scare you off. So if you don’t know what real Thai food is then this place may be too much for you. They do have non spicy options as well as gluten free and Vegan. Everything was fresh and made to order. It’s a small place so seating is very limited, but just get it Togo! It’s a most stop and a great addition to the town. We definitely will go back."

"What lovely owners and restaurant with DELICIOUS Larb . (Seriously the best I have ever had on the usa). My mother and I came out on their opening day, by chance, and walked intrigued about this new restaurant. We were warmly greeted by the kindest and most excited husband and Wife owners. We ordered quite a lot of food, but they (it was just the two of them for now) took it all in stride and offered us a free very tasty Thia Tea to drink while we waited. They were still in the middle of making their menu and putting up decorations when we cam, so I cant wait to come back to see it once it is all complete. Even though the Husband was getting acquainted with the new fangled register and the wife was cooking our many dishes, they still joked and chatted with us. It's a really lovely feeling in there with quite tasty food. Why go there: -You want fresh tasing food with lots of flavor. -you want to eat authentic food. (It's less Americanized than many places i have been to- which is wonderful to my taste buds!) -you like meat -you are okay with the southern friendly manners and southern speed. It's just one adorable cook and her husband, dont expect to zip in and out. (At least not in their first couple of months of opening) Who shouldn't go: - you are in a rush -you are a vegetarian (I'm not so this wasn't a issue for me) -you dont want to try new flavors and foods. -you get easily overheated, I would recommend getting take out then.:D"
