July 14 · Alona MalynskaStepping into this immersive dining wonderland feels amazing!!! The school bus seats and wrap-around IMAX screens create pure magic - you're literally dining INSIDE the experience! And also, excellent service and food presentation. I got a great birthday memory 🫶
June 26 · PR CindyBang Bang Bangkok offers a wonderfully fun and unique "traveling" dining experience, perfect for travel lovers or anyone wanting more than just dinner. Celebrating a birthday here was ideal!The immersive bus dining room with dynamic video walls and a fantastic tour guide/waiter made the delicious 10-course Thai tasting menu even better. They explained each dish and shared facts about the virtual Bangkok scenery.Highly recommended for special events or groups wanting great Thai food and a memorable adventure. A truly experiential and enjoyable outing!
April 14 · Ashley McdadeYesterday, I went to Bang Bang Bangkok to celebrate my anniversary/Valentine’s Day with my wife. I have to admit, I was a bit hesitant at first after reading some mixed reviews about the food, ambiance, and overall speed of service. However, my experience completely exceeded expectations—I’m giving it a solid 5 stars.It’s important to go in knowing that this is more than just a dinner—it’s an experience. The food was truly outstanding, an incredible fusion of Thai flavors with French techniques, which they take the time to explain at the beginning. Every bite felt innovative and thoughtfully crafted. The cocktails were just as impressive—fruity, refreshing, and uniquely creative.The service? Absolutely VIP. The staff makes you feel special with their personalized attention. And the immersive journey through the streets of Thailand, exploring its culture and cuisine, is honestly priceless.Yes, the price might be on the higher side, but without a doubt, I’d happily pay for this experience again and again. A brilliant concept—thank you for an unforgettable night!
