Thai Restaurant Bangkok Laren in Laren

Had a delicious meal in a beautiful setting. Good service and affordable. Definitely recommended.

I was at Bangkok in Laren about a week ago. The food itself was fine, but unfortunately, what struck me most was that the staff was very unfriendly. For instance, some customers were looked at in a condescending and nasty way. I found the way people with a different background were looked at particularly uncomfortable and inappropriate. Additionally, we were served a super dirty glass, which is obviously unacceptable. Furthermore, two people were told in a very unfriendly manner to immediately return to their own seats because they had moved one seat to the right. I feel that the staff really should be a lot friendlier and more hospitable. Especially since, in my opinion, the food wasn't exactly amazing either. Certainly for the price, as it was super expensive. It is a real shame, as the service had a significantly negative impact on my experience. Hopefully, something will be done about this soon.

Truly a ridiculously bad and disrespectful experience. I came here to eat with my mother and we had made a reservation. Yet, we were assigned a super small, cramped spot where you are practically sitting right next to other people. I politely asked the lady with glasses if we could sit somewhere else. According to her, all the other tables were reserved, even though there were plenty of empty spots. People who came in *after* us were suddenly allowed to sit there. What kind of service is this? We were just made to wait next to the kitchen, like dogs, until other guests might get up. We were hungry and had made a reservation, but were seated as if we were in a waiting room and just had to wait to see if a spot would ever become available. When I mentioned it, the lady reacted incredibly rudely and condescendingly. She said that we should just go eat somewhere else then. It is truly scandalous how you are treated as a customer here. We left and will never come back here. If I could give zero stars, I would have done so without a doubt.

When paying the bill, a Dutch man in a late 50s blouse indirectly begged women for a tip, even though the service was shitty. The man in question didn't even ask if everything was to our liking or if everything tasted good, like most restaurants do; he was solely focused on the money. Feedback: work on your service before you come begging for a few euros. The food, otherwise, wasn't amazing. Quite overhyped. I do not recommend this place.

We used to visit Bangkok in Laren regularly, as well as the branch in Amsterdam. The food was good for years, which is why we decided to order again last Sunday, even though we never really felt welcome as a family in the restaurant. Since we’ve had children, we’ve gotten the impression on several occasions that families with young children aren't really welcome here. During previous visits, we were placed in a cramped corner with a stroller and high chair, making it feel anything but family-friendly. That was ultimately the reason we stopped coming for a long time. Because we always liked the food in the past, we decided to order takeout this time. We ordered fried rice, crispy chicken with mushrooms, stir-fried chicken with asparagus, and satay, among other things. Given the current prices, we expect good quality. Unfortunately, that was absolutely not the case. The fried rice was tasteless and completely different from what we were used to. Almost all the dishes had a burnt taste. The satay was partially burnt, and there were burnt pieces in the rice as well. After a few bites, we were basically done with it. The majority of the order was ultimately thrown away. Unfortunately, it didn't stop there. Starting the next day, I experienced severe gastrointestinal issues, including headaches, stomach cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea. The symptoms persisted for several days. Because this began shortly after the meal and I hadn't eaten anything else unusual, I reported this to the relevant authority. In our experience, what was once one of our favorite Thai restaurants has deteriorated significantly. We find this particularly regrettable, as we used to enjoy coming here. For the prices charged nowadays, we had expected much better quality and more attention to food safety.

Arrogance at its finest. I ordered number 62: squid with chili paste. What I received was a plate with some pieces of squid, chili peppers, and onion. There was no sign of chili paste whatsoever. When I mentioned this, no one tried to understand or look into the complaint; instead, they simply acted as if I were crazy and as if this was actually the dish listed on the menu. Sorry, but anyone with working eyes can see that chili peppers and onions are something different from chili paste. Instead of honestly admitting that the dish did not match the description, I was treated as if I didn't know what I was talking about. As if that wasn't enough, there were perhaps five pieces of squid in the entire dish. For €19.50, I expect more than a few pieces of squid between a pile of onion and chili peppers. Poor value for money, no willingness whatsoever to listen to feedback, and an attitude that is completely useless to the customer. For me, this was a one-time thing, never again. Bangkok Laren: never again.

We recently went out for dinner with our family at Bangkok Laren to celebrate a special occasion and have a pleasant evening. Unfortunately, things turned out completely differently than expected. Upon entering, we were ignored for a very long time and had to wait, while other guests who arrived later were served earlier. That immediately gave us an unpleasant feeling. Afterwards, we placed our order. About 30 minutes later, an employee returned with the message that the order had not gone through properly in the system. As a result, we had to order again and wait even longer for the food. This was particularly annoying for the children, as they were very hungry by then. Additionally, I asked a normal question about parking, but this was met with an unfriendly and uninterested response. Next, I approached an older man, whom I suspect was the manager. He was a Dutch man of around 50 years old with grey/blond hair, dressed in jeans and a shirt, without a work uniform. I calmly explained what we were dissatisfied with, but he listened uninterestedly and reacted very rudely. There was no apology or understanding, just a brief “okay, I’ll take it into consideration.” The way he looked at us also felt very uncomfortable and disrespectful. We find it very disappointing that guests are treated this way, especially on an evening that was supposed to be special for us. For us, this was the last time we will be dining here.

**Very unpleasant experience, unfriendly staff** This evening, my nephew was already dining at Bangkok; he had made a reservation for himself, my other nephew, and me. When I entered, I sat down at his table. Almost immediately afterward, he went to the restroom. At that moment, two waitresses approached our table. Without asking anything—no "have you made a reservation?", no "do you belong to this table?"—it was stated in a loud voice that we had to leave, that "other people had priority," and that we had to wait outside. They also shouted loudly that "this table had not paid yet," even though I clearly indicated that it was my nephew's table, who was in the restroom at the time. What makes it even stranger: there were plenty of other free tables in the restaurant at that moment. It would make absolutely no sense to just sit down at a random occupied table; the waitresses could have figured that out themselves before addressing us like that. What bothers me most is not the situation itself, but the way it was handled. Nothing was asked, nothing was explained, just: get out. And this happened right in front of the whole establishment, because due to the volume at which the waitresses were speaking, everyone was staring at us. This felt disrespectful and extremely unfriendly to customers, even though there was plenty of room to resolve this calmly and discreetly. It is a shame, because we could have simply ordered and eaten here in peace. However, the way we were treated means I won't be returning here anytime soon. This is my word of honor, and it is no lie.

Very friendly and pleasant service, but we were disappointed with the various dishes. The starters and soup were tasty. Unfortunately, the various chicken dishes tasted "too similar." Also, the dish with large shrimp and squid unfortunately only had two shrimp, even though we were a party of four and expected at least four large shrimp. An oversight.

I have been a regular customer at Bangkok Amsterdam since the 90s and have often picked up food in Laren in recent years. However, after an additional €4.95 was charged today for 1 plastic container and plastic cutlery, I was absolutely shocked. I find it truly scandalous that they now want to squeeze extra money out of everyone, and the service provided is completely worthless because of this. The food is okay, though it has become on the pricey side. And yet they are trying to rake in extra money in other ways, including by charging €7 for plastic cutlery and 2 containers!!! JUST REALLY SHAMEFUL!!!😳😳😳 You will lose plenty of customers because of this.

The food is okay, but it has become on the pricey side. And yet they are trying to make up extra money in other ways, for example by charging €7 for plastic cutlery and 2 containers!!! SIMPLY SHAMEFUL!!!😳😳😳

The food was small but okay, the staff is very unfriendly. I've tried it a few times now and it really strikes me how unfriendly they are.

Nice little restaurant, the food is tasty and served quickly. A minor downside is that it is really small.

Very disappointing experience. Despite having reserved in advance, we had to wait 30–40 minutes: standing by the front door. Then, for three people, we were given a table that was clearly unsuitable. When we pointed this out, we were not taken seriously and were treated unkindly. No solution was offered, and we felt completely unheard. Now I understand the bad reviews. It seems like there is a new owner and that it is no longer like it used to be; it feels more like a quick meal and having to leave, rather than hospitality. In the end, we left with a bad feeling. This was the last time for us!

I had a very bad experience at this restaurant today. We had reserved right on time, but still had to wait nearly 45 minutes before we could even sit down. When we finally got a spot, we were assigned a table that was clearly not suitable for three people (more like two). This was despite the fact that we had pointed out another table right from the start where the three of us could sit perfectly fine. According to the staff, that was “not possible.” To make matters worse: shortly after, a group *after* us, also consisting of three people, *did* get a good and more spacious table—exactly the kind of spot we had initially asked for. This felt incredibly selective and unfair. When we mentioned this and asked for a solution, we were not taken seriously at all. The staff's response was curt and unprofessional; they literally said: “I have to get going,” after which we were ignored. Additionally, we were confronted with an arrogant attitude and a rude attitude. If I had read the reviews beforehand, I wouldn't have been here. What was once good has completely deteriorated, and the service is unfriendly. Moreover, it seemed as if the staff wanted to settle a personal conflict with us, which made the experience downright uncomfortable. For us, it is clear: we will never return here.

Truly a worthless experience. Even though we had made a reservation, we had to wait 30–40 minutes just to be seated. Then, for three people, we were given a table that was completely unsuitable. When we pointed this out, we were snapped at and not taken seriously at all. The staff was rude, uninterested, and offered no solution at any point. Check the reviews; they don't lie!

Bangkok Laren We ate here last Thursday and it is definitely the last time! Telephone contact was extremely unfriendly, main courses were cold, staff take a long time to serve you, dessert (fried ice cream) literally tasted like old frying oil. We pointed this out to the staff and they did absolutely nothing about it > bad service! 2 out of 5 of us came home with terrible stomach pain and diarrhea. And this for €70 per person, and was it a waste of our money!

I thought the food was fine, but the staff were very cheeky and unfriendly. We were stuck in traffic and had a bit of a delay, so we were fifteen minutes late. Upon arrival, we were constantly told that we only had 1.5 hours and that the time had already started, so we had to hurry. That’s fine, but every server kept repeating it, so I said: "Yes, it’s obvious, this has been said ten times already." The server then gave a dry laugh and said: "Well, at least we are clear in our communication then." Just a weird start to a relaxed dinner out. Also when my mother-in-law didn't respond quickly enough to what she wanted to drink: "So, nothing to drink for you then." And the food was really super expensive. €27 for some stir-fried vegetables with a few prawns, and rice had to be ordered for an extra €8. And it wasn't even a nice place, just a sort of dive bar. They don't serve tap water either, which I always find a bit ridiculous. I order more than enough to drink, so if I just want a glass of water for my son, that is just normal service.

Dodgy place, 1 tip: don't waste your time and money. The service was just rude. Atmosphere? You're sitting in some sort of brown pub. The food was tasty, but for the same price there are much better restaurants. 27.50 for some chicken with cashews + 8 euros for the rice is ridiculous. I paid the stupid tax.

What should have been a fun and enjoyable evening out with our family was quickly ruined. Upon arrival, we witnessed two arguments between the owner and other tables, after which guests got up and left. This immediately made us feel uneasy. The phone call beforehand was also unfriendly. During dinner, we ordered a few more things because our children were still hungry. The owner reacted irritatedly and said we should have ordered everything at once. When I pointed out that reordering should be possible, he kept repeating that it wasn't possible and that his kitchen would be too busy. This resulted in an unnecessary argument. When we wanted to take the leftover food home, we had to pack it ourselves. Of course, we didn't. As far as we were concerned, they could just throw the food away. The way we were spoken to was disrespectful, arrogant, and completely unfriendly. This was definitely the last time for us.

What a place! I often go to Amsterdam near Bangkok, but this restaurant has such unfriendly staff. I wouldn't eat here; they have absolutely no respect, the food is getting worse and worse, and they charge so much. I'd think twice before going there; it's not worth the money!

Well, sorry, but what happened to the authentic Bangkok star dish? The cashew chicken with fried rice tasted COMPLETELY different than before and absolutely NOT good. I even ended up with a stomach ache and nausea. Meanwhile, your prices are getting a bit out of control, don't you think? In a year, I've been paying over €14 more for the exact same dishes, while the quality is only deteriorating. Get over it, I'm definitely not coming back here 😅😅

We were regulars at Bangkok Laren, but after tonight, NEVER AGAIN. We made a reservation a few days in advance for three adults. Upon arrival, we were assigned a narrow table for two with a corner chair that would never have fit three plates, let alone multiple dishes. I politely told the lady that this wasn't what we'd reserved and that we wouldn't accommodate it. To which I received the curt reply, "No way." Extremely rude.

At Bangkok Laren, everything is perfect. Sharina and Zue are top-notch staff: professional, calm, and service-oriented, even during busy times. They keep everything under control and make you feel truly welcome. The food quality is consistently high. Dishes are well-seasoned, distinctive, and always prepared consistently. The cashew chicken is delicious, especially paired with the homemade sambal, and the chicken satay is also excellent. Portions are well-balanced, and the presentation is impeccable. This inspires confidence and makes you want to return.

The pad Thai was too sweet and sticky, lacking any fresh acidity. The green curry had little spice and tasted mostly of coconut cream. Not bad, but not at all exciting either.

For years, I loved going to Bangkok in Laren. Often with a good friend, we always ordered generously and tipped generously. The staff didn't know our names, but they did recognize us. That felt familiar and kept me coming back. A few weeks ago, I had a reservation for two at 7 p.m. on a Friday. I arrived on time and was promptly shown to my table. My friend hadn't arrived yet. Ten minutes passed. Twenty. Half an hour. I tried calling him several times, but to no avail. Later, it turned out he'd dozed off at home and didn't wake up until two hours later. Of course, I didn't know that at the time, so I just did my best to wait politely and handle the situation as best I could. I ordered a drink and stayed calm. While waiting, I noticed the woman at the cash register giving me looks that felt unfriendly. It seemed like she was irritated, even though I couldn't do anything about the situation. After about half an hour, she came over to me and said: "Yeah, he's still not here." You're holding a table now. That comment felt disrespectful and condescending. I was so hurt by it that I decided to pay for my drink and leave. While paying, I received another comment: "But you shouldn't feel bad about suddenly leaving now." First, a rude comment, then a pretense of welcome. That felt like a slap in the face. I find this way of treating guests unacceptable. You should treat people with respect, especially regulars who always order generously and pay generously. Here, it felt like as a guest, you just have to sit down, eat, pay, and quickly leave. For me, this chapter is now closed. Bangkok in Laren is a thing of the past, and I will never return.

It's always pleasantly busy, which, in my opinion, is a good thing, as you know the food is always fresh. It might be a bit pricey, but if you're going to complain about that, you should just go to McDonald's or cook at home. It's always delicious here. Besides all that, the staff is incredibly friendly! We always come here, top-notch top-notch!

Really bad! It used to be much better

The curry is delicious and just the right amount of spice, truly authentic Thai. The Pad Thai can sometimes be a bit too sweet.

The food is okay. The chicken cashew was really salty or had too much fat. The beef curry with peanut and coconut milk was delicious. The service was unfriendly. No greetings upon arrival or departure. The staff didn't check in between to see if everything was to your liking or if you needed any drinks, etc. This is why I'm giving it one star. You guys can definitely do better!

2 bowls of rice 1 bowl of chicken 1 bowl of beef 1 bowl of vegetables 1 small bowl of pad Thai This, for 95 euros, is quite expensive. Small portions, and the taste wasn't particularly special. I also had a stomach ache afterward. Other than that, the food was really good, just not for what you pay.

Takeout portions have been halved. Soup is now sold as a half-portion and filled with mushrooms. Chicken soup has almost no chicken left, and the shrimp soup that used to have only 3 shrimp is now only 2 shrimp per soup! That shouldn't be called shrimp soup!! The ingredients are no longer fresh. We're not used to this; we've been getting ours here for years, but we won't be going back. Oh, my.

The green curry had just the right balance of spicy and creamy. Fresh vegetables, tender chicken, and fragrant jasmine rice accompanied it. The staff politely asked if I wanted the curry mild, medium, or spicy, which I found very thoughtful. Very flavorful and authentic.

Some meals were very good, some completely not my taste, and I love that kind of kitchen

The restaurant is top-notch, the service is exceptionally friendly, and the staff are completely professional. Congratulations to the team! I will always come back here! Thank you again for allowing me to be with you.

I have eaten at this restaurant twice and after both times I had a huge stomach ache, in addition the service is really poor and the staff seems to work reluctantly, the owner also does not have a particularly hospitable impression

I've been here several times and noticed that the service varies greatly from visit to visit. For example, last time I wasn't given a table. The first time I came, the food was fine, but unfortunately, subsequent visits were disappointing.

Eating is good but you can't always make your wishes known because it's not possible

Today I went here for dinner with a few friends. The food was extremely bad! First of all, the chicken dishes had a nasty aftertaste, it seemed spoiled. Furthermore, the food was very spicy and dry. I also found the service very bad. The staff expected us to divide the plates ourselves and were busy with hundreds of things at the same time when you asked a question. Not a nice atmosphere. It seemed like they wanted to let you out as soon as possible. No more Bangkok Laren for us!

I went to eat at this restaurant with my family and son. My son ordered the “spicy beef with soy sauce”, but what he got looked more like a kind of soup with pieces of meat in it. The dish was also not tasty at all. We politely reported this to the owner, but she reacted downright rude and refused to take the dish back or think along with us. No understanding at all, just a rude and unfriendly attitude. Really scandalous! I even made a video of the dish, so that others can see what was served. Unfortunately I can't upload videos, hence the photos.

Very good Thai cuisine and good service, I recommend.

What a great restaurant The food was good the service was good I just have a little trouble with all those people who only come for one or two dishes and then leave again

I recommend Bangkok Amsterdam. The difference in taste is so great compared to Laren's!

Great food, portions are generous and flavors are exquisite. We were helped well by the lady who worked that evening. She was extremely friendly and professional. Huge molester.

Delicious food! We are real Thai eaters so we speak from experience. Food was quick and very tasty. The place was full and has a good atmosphere...

Heerlijk gegeten! Wij namen : Tod man goong Tom kha kai Krokant gebakken beef met oestersaus Gamba's knoflook & witte peper En de gebakken rijst Het enige wat wij minder vonden was dat de gebakken rijst voor 2 personen erg weinig was...en dat terwijl je dus in feite 2 porties besteld.. (En wij dus nog een portie bij moesten bestellen.) Ook was het personeel erg haastig.. Haastig met glazen en borden wegnemen etc..totaal niet relaxed. Leek wel speed- diner. Ook was het erg rumoerig. Onrustige sfeer...

The food was delicious, reservations were made quickly and unfortunately the food was not too hot. Waiters really rush you by always taking away plates. You cannot eat in peace and quiet.

Delicious food! We took: Tod man goong Tom kha kai Crispy fried beef with oyster sauce Prawns garlic & white pepper And the fried rice The only thing we didn't like was that the fried rice for 2 people was very little... even though you actually ordered 2 portions... (And so we had to order an extra portion.) Also the staff was very hasty... Hastily removing glasses and plates, etc., not relaxed at all. Seemed like speed dinner. It was also very noisy. Restless atmosphere...

Very bad food with bombol salt really doesn't taste like anything at all. Extremely expensive also the 1st and last time.

I don't recommend this place to anyone, they don't keep their promises!

Bangkok in Laren – a huge Thai surprise I went out for dinner at Restaurant Bangkok in Laren. “Bangkok,” I thought, “that's far away.” But no, it was just in Laren, nice and close. Well, relatively close, if you compare it to Thailand. I stepped inside and immediately felt… yes, how do you say… warmth. Not only of the kitchen, but also of the people. Jennifer and Roy rule the roost here, and they do so with a smile that instantly makes you hungry. It smells wonderful, like herbs that you don't just find in the supermarket, and like something... something exciting, something that you don't know yet, but that you know is tasty. The great doubt Then comes the menu. That is a moment when you take a deep breath. Because what to choose? Everything sounds like you have to taste it. And I'm just one person. But hey, I'm brave. I start with the Yam Gai Douw. That's a salad with fried egg, red onion, shallots, coriander and lime juice. And let me tell you... that lime juice, it does something to a person. It gives a fresh boost as if you were suddenly standing in a summer breeze. Then the main course came. Fried chicken with cashew nuts. The kind of dish you want to marry. The chicken is tender, the cashew nuts are crunchy and that sauce… that sauce! Sweet, savory, just right. I also tasted a bite of the fried fish fillet in tamarind sauce, and if that fish could talk, it would have said: “Stay a while.” The curry you won't forget My tablemate had the green curry. You take a bite, and suddenly you are in Thailand. Well, in your head then. The herbs dance the cha-cha on your tongue, a little spicy, a little creamy, and with a touch of magic. A curry as a curry is meant to be. And you know what's so beautiful? The cook, Poo, cooks with a passion as if every day were a holiday. And you can taste that. Everything is fresh, everything is correct. Do you have difficulty choosing? Then there are rice tables – a table full of goodies, where you don't actually have to choose, but can just enjoy. And you can enjoy it here anyway. Conclusion Restaurant Bangkok in Laren is a place where you not only eat, but experience. The atmosphere is warm, the food is divine, and when you walk out afterwards you feel like you've been on a bit of a journey. And the great thing is: you don't even have to fly for it.

Writing this review after my third vomit, diarrhea!!!! It made me so sick. Found the atmosphere extremely unfriendly from the blonde waitress, the owner Thai woman was also so unfriendly. I sent something back to the kitchen and I got it exactly as it was, it was ice cold!

The food itself was tasty. But the whole atmosphere and bad service is not worth coming. Price-quality ratio is bad! The woman who works there has a very arrogant unfriendly attitude! What an atmosphere ruiner of the evening.

Yesterday we had dinner at Bangkok in Laren. The food was overly salted and therefore barely edible. When we spoke to the owner about this, we were met with arrogance and unprofessional responses, which only made the situation worse. We asked for compensation, since we could hardly eat anything, but unfortunately we did not receive any form of compensation or understanding. This was a big disappointment, especially considering the high expectations we had. Never eating here again and will not recommend it to anyone!!

As a regular customer I always had a good impression of Bangkok Laren, but this visit was downright disappointing. I was with five cousins, when we tasted the food, the food was extremely salty. We immediately reported this to the staff, and an employee indicated that this is a frequently heard complaint. After a difficult discussion about how to solve the problem, without reaching a solution, we asked for the bill. To our surprise, almost all dishes were included, with only one exception. We were willing to pay, but only for what we had actually eaten and drunk. Since the food was so salty, we could hardly have eaten any of this. What made this situation even more distressing was the way we were treated by the staff. The employees were unfriendly and unprofessional. At one point a Dutch man who works there came and banged his hand on the table in an intimidating manner and shouted: “And now it's DONE! You MUST pay!” This behavior felt threatening and completely inappropriate. This experience shocked me, and I would not recommend anyone to eat here again.

I am a regular customer at Bangkok Amsterdam and expected the Laren branch to offer the same quality and service. Unfortunately, my experience here was downright bad. From the moment I walked in I was treated unfriendly by the staff. There was no greeting, no smile, and I felt like I was a burden rather than a guest. The service was slow and disinterested, and when I finally got my order, the food was not up to the standard I have come to expect from Bangkok. What bothered me most was the attitude of the owners. When I politely asked about my order, I was rudely turned away, with pure disinterest. This is absolutely unacceptable, especially for a restaurant called Bangkok. I will never come back to Bangkok Laren and advise others to spend their money elsewhere. If this branch doesn't do something about the service soon, they will lose a lot of customers.

Delicious food, but a shame that you can only sit for an hour and a half. We felt like we were eating under pressure. A plate with 2 fish cakes on it was cleared in front of us while we were still eating. Very unfortunate because the food is really tasty, but you can't have a nice chill dinner, so to speak.

Unfriendly, but good food to be honest. I won't be visiting again purely because of their behavior. 2 times and never again.

At Bangkok Laren we had a culinary experience that is unparalleled. The food was excellent and without a doubt the most authentic Thai food we have ever tasted in the Netherlands. Although the restaurant was very busy and we had to wait 30 minutes for a table despite our reservation, which we experienced as less pleasant, the excellent quality of the food more than made up for this. The limited choice of wine types and virgin cocktails was a minor concern, but we ate our way through the sublime dishes and left the restaurant more than satisfied. Bangkok Laren is definitely recommended for lovers of authentic Thai cuisine, and we will definitely come back!

Chicken with cashew nuts!!! Addicted to it...

If you order chicken with vegetables in a sweet and sour sauce here, you literally get “Chicken Tonight” from a jar for which you pay a lot. Overrated, overhyped. How can you claim halal if you serve pork? Big 0!

Super tasty and cozy. Our Indonesian brother and waiter gave us great tips and made us very pleasant. Top!

Unfriendly staff and small portions for a lot of money.

Unfortunately had a disappointing experience. We had to wait far too long for a table, even though several tables seemed to be empty. The staff was not friendly and seemed disinterested. The overall atmosphere was awkward and it didn't feel inviting. Definitely not recommended if you are looking for a hospitable and pleasant evening.

Very disappointing experience at Bangkok Restaurant in Laren. The staff, especially a blond, plump woman, was incredibly unfriendly and seemed completely unable to cope with the crowds. We had to wait a very long time, and when the food finally came, it was of very poor quality. To make matters worse, I got a stomach ache after the meal and am now sick in bed. This is definitely not a place I will ever return to, and I strongly discourage others from eating here.

I recently ate at this restaurant, and it was unfortunately a very bad experience. The food was of low quality and definitely did not meet my expectations. In addition, the staff was unfriendly and seemed as if they had no interest in their customers. Maybe a customer service course would do them some good as this is no way to treat guests. I absolutely cannot recommend this restaurant

Belachelijk! Heb je gereserveerd, kom je op tijd, is er geen plek en moet je staand wachten! 20 min hebben we staan wachten tot er een plek vrij kwam. Zelden meegemaakt. Wat een raar restaurant!!!!!

RIDICULOUS that you have to wait while you have made a reservation. I have rarely experienced this! Dear all! Be aware that you will have to wait if you have made a reservation!!!

Went again last night for the 2nd time for a bite to eat and my experience was less than the first time. We sat next to a young couple who spoke really loudly in the most anti-social tone. Everything except throw lazy. You're really close to each other when you're not sitting on the benches. You hear all the conversations around you and therefore simply cannot enjoy your food. You have difficulty fitting the table to get to your seat. Actually it's just too full. I really understand that every chair generates turnover, but just remove 2 tables and people's experience will skyrocket. You can read many complaints about this in the reviews. I will only come back if I have a normal seat. I ask this in advance because this was really terrible. Everything was delicious again, except for the fried noodles, which smelled stale and like cat food. This is not meant to be rude, but with every bite we had to laugh because you could smell wet cat food. Could be due to a herb or something, but I don't take that anymore. We didn't think so. Further on and on. Service great and the tastiest satay sauce ever!!!! Price tag is really on its way. It's really not cheap and the portions aren't generous either. Apart from the busy restaurant, it really is a top restaurant.

Zaak ziet er mooi uit en het eten is lekker. Echter zitten gasten naast je met vol geluid aan filmpjes te kijken en te bellen waardoor het enorm ongemakkelijk en ongezellig is hier te dineren. Hierdoor zijn wij onvrijwillig eerder vertrokken en wilden we het eten, waar we nauwelijks van hadden gegeten, mee naar huis nemen. Echter had de keuken deze door interne miscommunicatie weggegooid en werden we in geen enkele manier gecompenseerd. Bij thuiskomst telefonisch nog contact gezocht en mijn contactgegevens achtergelaten waarop ze het intern zouden bespreken maar nooit meer iets hebben laten weten.

Been coming here for a long time, super friendly and really tasty food. I don't understand all the bad reviews at all.

Really delicious fish cakes and a real Thai kitchen team. We will definitely come back!

The tastiest Thai restaurant in town! The cashew chicken is highly recommended. In addition, very sweet owners

Today we had dinner at Bangkok Laren. We got very sick from the FOOD! I don't recommend anyone to eat here!!! In addition, we had to pay 0.30 cents per person for a straw... really ridiculous!!

Worst service ever We were 20 min late due to traffic ( and had made a reservation and left our phone number ) After arriving we were told she had given our table away to walk in guest !!! We were given an option to sit at the take out table ! - next to kitchen My whole outfit and hair is ruined from the smell!! And we were treated extremely disrespectful by the host ( brown hair) The food is great but please don’t go here There are better places in the area !!!!!

The restaurant is easy reachable by car, and has plenty of parking spots in front of the restaurant. During the weekend I highly recommend to make a reservation. The food is delicious! I can highly recommend the chicken with cashewnuts together with the fried rice. As a starter the 3 chicken snacks that you can share with another person. The service was excellent, very attentive, kind, professional and quick in taking our order, serving the drinks and food. There are plenty of vegetarian options. The desserts can be upgraded, not particularly good. Constructive advice: add a chocolate lava cake to your dessert menu, with a side of strawberries and blueberries. Will definitely return in future, thanks guys for the lovely evening!

Heerlijk gegeten, heel vriendelijke meisjes in de bediening, service was snel ondanks dat het heel druk was, voor herhaling vatbaar.

Restaurant Bangkok Laren leaves a lot to be desired. During my visit I found a hair in my food, which is disgusting enough in itself. When I sent the dish back to the kitchen it came back with a piece of eyelash extension on it (no one in our group had eyelash extensions) - a completely unacceptable level of hygiene. The staff's reaction was even worse; Instead of an apology, I was fobbed off with a ridiculous statement about the wind blowing the extensions onto my plate. I'm not crazy. This lack of professional behavior and customer service is nothing short of disgraceful. It's clear why this restaurant has such a bad reputation. I will never come back here again.

The place looks nice and the food is delicious. However, guests sit next to you, watching videos and calling on full volume, which makes it extremely uncomfortable and unpleasant to dine here. As a result, we involuntarily left early and wanted to take the food home, which we had barely eaten. However, the kitchen had thrown it away due to internal miscommunication and we were not compensated in any way. When I got home, I contacted them by phone and left my contact details where they would discuss it internally, but never said anything again.

First time eating there today, it was incredibly delicious! I haven't had such delicious food in a long time! We still talk about how delicious your chicken is❤️❤️❤️

1 star for both the service and the food. I don't know what to start with. Short and sweet: •poor hygiene •dirty food •customer unfriendly •you are on each other's lips. Extensive: Ordered ginger ale as a drink, it is noticeable that bottled drinks are used here. No sting, a very nasty weak ginger ale. Previously ate a dish in Filleaal Amsterdam, showed the waiter a picture of it and pointed it out on the menu, when the food arrived it was not even close to the picture shown unless a toddler made it. The lady came to the table and had an extensive discussion about whether it should be made that way. The whole point is not how it SHOULD be made or whether the recipe has been adjusted (I'm not going to talk about that) But that I asked for a specific dish and received something else without being informed about adjustments to the recipe. And they make it so difficult to take it back into the kitchen. Eten's appetite immediately disappeared from this endless discussion. Customer friendliness is hard to find. I forgot to add that the wait time was over 50 minutes from the time the order was placed.

I now understand why the reviews are so bad, what happened to your friendly staff. we had made a reservation for 4 adults and I had indicated that 2 small children would come with me, a baby and a 2-year-old child, I was called today and then it was said that we could not come because my children count as persons and they We didn't accept people aged 6 (my baby would just sit in the stroller and my daughter in a high chair), so we were 4 adults. It was also told in a not friendly manner. I said that I find this really strange because my children don't go to dinner and they are still so small. Such a shame that you have deteriorated so much and treat customers this way. Apparently you don't want to make money and you prefer to be arrogant and aggressive towards your guests. I will certainly not eat or order here again, which we regularly did. My advice to you, be friendlier and hire different staff.

Ik snap nu waarom de reviews zo slecht zijn, wat is er met jullie vriendelijke personeel gebeurd. wij hadden gereserveerd voor 4 volwassenen en ik had aangegeven dat er 2 kleine kindjes mee zouden komen, een baby en een kindje van 2, ik werd vandaag gebeld en toen werd er gezegd dat wij niet konden komen omdat mijn kinderen mee tellen als personen en zij geen mensen aannemen van 6 ( mijn baby zou gewoon in de kinderwagen zitten en mijn dochter in een kinderstoel) wij waren dus met 4 volwassenen. Het werd ook met een niet vriendelijke manier verteld. Ik gaf aan dat ik dit echt apart vind omdat mijn kinderen niet gaan mee eten en ze nog zo klein zijn. Zo jammer dat jullie zo achteruit zijn gegaan en zo met klanten om gaan. Blijkbaar willen jullie geen geld verdienen en doen jullie liever arrogant en agressief tegen jullie gasten. Ik zal hier zeker ook niet meer eten of bestellen , wat wij regelmatig deden. Mijn advies naar jullie, vriendelijker zijn en ander personeel nemen.

Always busy in Bangkok, but worth the wait. Delicious food every time.

The food is overpriced and the portions quite small. We ordered a starter and main courses, but the main course arrived even though we had just had the starter. Then it was taken away at our request and probably kept warm under a lamp because you could see that in the curry. For a fish sauce with pepper you will be charged 3 euros 😱. The food was tasty but not what it used to be. Shame...

Prijs/kwaliteit verhouding niet goed. Staat nergens dat verse koriander wordt gebruikt. Zat in mijn voorgerecht, zodat ik mijn hoofdgerecht met een "zeepsop" smaak heb gegeten. Kip en biefstuk droog. Garnalen loempia's zijn gewoon garnalen in een taai "krokant" jasje voor €4 per stuk. Spa rood is net zo duur als een vaasje en cola zero is zelfs duurder, hoe dan?!? Moet apart gebakken rijst bestellen en kost €6,50 en dat moet je dan nog een keer bestellen wil je voldoende hebben. Ook erg vervelend als je bij de deur zit en telkens de deur opengaat voor afhalers en de deur niet dicht doen. Jammer, had hoge verwachtingen.

Waited 1 hour and 45 minutes for food, which was eventually served lukewarm with half a bowl of rice, which you would have thought was finished in the kitchen. For 100 euros on a dinner you would expect something in terms of quality and service. Very disappointed and definitely not worth my money. I hope the other branches offer better quality and service.

Delicious Thai food, reservations recommended.

Delicious food in Laren, fast service, friendly staff, had really delicious fresh food, will definitely come back

Delicious dinner with my husband! We sat in an uneasy spot next to the takeaway counter, but the staff did everything they could to ensure we had a pleasant evening. The food was tasty and tasty, the portions were not huge.

Went here for dinner yesterday. Staff is not friendly at all. Super arrogant. The food is salty and overpriced. You pay separately for the rice while you order a rice dish. Definitely not recommended!

Pleasant service despite the crowds. Good food! We were warned that it is busy here. It was full when we arrived so we had patience and understanding for the staff who were running around with hot plates and screaming guests. There were 5 of us and we saw a lot happen. People complain about long waiting times while having the waitress walk back and forth 10 times for a spoon that has fallen on the floor, wanting mint in their drink, extra napkins, extra plate, then asking for an extra bowl, extra ice cubes, the list goes on. Through. And then complain about bad service and the food not having any taste. Another group did not want to pay their bill because they had ordered dishes that they did not like, but had eaten. I found the event really hilarious to hear. Especially because we heard them discussing that they did not want to pay for the food. It was really bizarre to see some people treat restaurant staff this way. Shameless, please stay home! We had a delicious meal. Full of flavor, no need for extra napkins, spoons, bowls or mint in soft drinks. Fun, respect and patience helps to have a great evening!

Very bad receptionist, she is very stupid

Enjoyed some quality time with my husband last night. We had a starter and main course followed by a theater visit. Unfortunately, the pain started during the performance with stabbing pains in my stomach. When I got home I had severe stomach cramps, diarrhea and vomiting, which lasted all night. My husband also experienced twinges and abdominal cramps. When I called Bankok Laren today, I was immediately put on the defensive without listening. I wanted to solve it first, but the lady wanted proof from my GP. I agreed and told her she would receive it tomorrow. She then casually claimed that they wanted to call my doctor to check my statement. Unbelievable! Despite everything, she wanted me to pick up spoiled food again. I want my money back because your food made me sick. And then she also asked if I had been tested for corona! Unbelievable. I hope no one else gets sick. Luckily I didn't bring my children. You have €122, but I will never come back, and neither will those around me.

Upon arrival we were given a small table, when we asked for a larger one we were told that this was not possible due to the number of reservations. 1 hour later there was still no one at the big table. We also sat at a table for 2 people while there were three of us. The people who came in later in pairs were allowed to sit at the large tables. That aside, the food was super salty. It felt like I had eaten a kilo of salt, if the oyster sauce from THAILAND is so salty and you have no influence on this, then at least let us know. While pointing this out, people laughed very faintly and reproached us. Too bad I couldn't enjoy my food. I will never come back here again, I would go to Amsterdam. The customer service and food are much better there. Oh well, it probably depends on the fact that we are not of Dutch descent.

Last Friday I went to Bangkok Laren for dinner. Normally I wouldn't leave a review, but because I suffered food poisoning (including dehydration), I will. Be warned!!

Super delicious food! Fresh dishes, nice atmosphere, lots of choice & friendly service.

ridiculous…. Waited 1.5 hours for the food

I don't understand why there are so many negative reviews. The food I ordered was of excellent quality, more than enough and tasted delicious.

Tasty Thai food. The only thing that's a shame is that you're so close together.
