BKK Bistro and Bar - BKK Bistro and Bar

This place is really crowded on weekend! So be sure you head down there earlier. They open at about 5pm and you could see a queue forming near the entrance. Boat noodles are my favourite. Small, one-mouthful bowl. Tom-yum or herbal broth, pork, liver, beef or prawn, you decide which one. Or just try all! The other Thai fares are just as popular here. ‘Gai Yang’ (BBQ chicken) and the ever popular Papaya Salad pok pok! Grilled pork with Thai sauce and their ‘Yam Woon Sen seafood’ (Glass noodle salad seafood) are Thai dishes I will order! And definitely must have a Thai dessert. Mango sticky rice! The rice is soft, warm and moist. The mango sweet. Coconut sauce drizzled over it. Great way to finish your Thai dinner! And they play Thai songs! Love it!

Located at the entrance after you go into Orto. Large place with many seats and tables available. But mostly open air. Nice ambience at night especially with the nights. Crowded most of the nights, as people come here to drink. So it's quite common to see beer towers at each table. Or tables filled with small boat noodles. Highlight of the place would be the mini boat noodles that costs 80cents per bowl. Good for people with smaller appetites since you don't waste food and can control how much you eat. It takes about 1-2 servings to finish a bowl (ie 2 spoonfuls of noodles). Soup base option: herbal or Tom yum. Herbal is somehow quite satisfying to me. Tom yum spicy enough for it to be addictive. You also get to choose pork/beef ball/slices. With rice noodles or glass noodles. Rice noodles feel more starchy and more satisfying. Mama noodles only available for medium or supersizes. Medium is a normal noodle portion for 1pax. Take note of the prices before choosing though! And scan the menu to look at prices before ordering. If only the ordering process is automated through the phone. Once you are done, bring your table number plague to cashier to make payment. Drinks are the usual Thai milk tea and lemon grass. Desserts look tempting like Thai mango sticky rice or coconut ice cream. Didn't get to try this for fear of having tummyache but I guess next time I would! They also have a bubble tea shop inside that you need to go to order separately. We ordered som Tum which was recommended, but it didn't come and the staff still charged us for it. We told the staff and they gladly changed it for us. Would come again if I have the craving for it!

Great atmosphere and food! It's really cooling near evening and the spice levels are manageable (papaya salad spice is higher tho!) only downside is that the prices are hidden so you dont know how much is anything you order until you get the bill. (its like a casino where there are no clocks but its a restaurant with no prices stated clearly ?) really nice still though! Staff are helpful and attentive, but it can get busy during the peak hours. Expect a long queue time nearing 7 and later. Receipt attached in case you wanna math the price?

First time eating boat noodles with hubby. Not sure if herbal broth suppose to taste that way: on a sweeter side and no hint of herbs. Tomyum soup doesnt feel authentic and lacked flavour. Some of the beef slices were hard to chew. Ordered the midwings, chicken skewers and fried pork belly Midwings were fried well, meat was tender and juicy, but could have been more flavourful. The chicken on the chicken skewers were thick and tender. I liked the skewers more than the wings. Pork belly was very crispy and combination with mustard sauce is interesting~ Felt like the side dishes were better than the boat noodle. ? Maybe this place is more suitable for people coming for a drink with side snacks. Abit on the pricey side for the side dishes. Came on a sunday evening 5.30pm+ . Queuing was fast and dishes were served with reasonable waiting time. Service was ok.

Other than the must try boat noodles, I love the seafood glass noodle salad, but it’s really spicy for me.. The gai yang chicken is tasty and tender. Actually the pig liver Tom Yam is very good. It’s not too dry and hard and not bloody. ???

Nice place for Thai boat noodle, at 80c per bowl. All of the dishes we ordered were great. Ps, they open till quite late so it’s a good supper place. Do note that the staffs aren’t really that responsive (they might be busy) so you either just stand up to get their attention or you just walk to the counter.

Very interesting place to travel to, to discover and explore. Ample parking lots. Very happening (surrounding) ambience at night. We all love cheap things so 80c boat noodles is the best! Got too excited about the price that (over) ordered a lot of side things and meal came up to almost $30 per pax ?. Be careful and disciplined. Otherwise, fun place.

Apologies for the dish look - I ate before remembering to take photo. Food is generally good here. Each small boat noodle cost about 50 cents but normally I feel it's suitable for the sampler but not as a meal unless you are doing carbo-loading! The Thai Salad is excellent; however, it's on the spicy side, so if you are a spice lover, this is must try. There are loads of drinks to try - do take your picks on your favourite Thai milk teas!
