Bangkok City @ Greenville

It's hard to walk down Greenville Avenue, without being beckoned by tantalizing aromas of authentic Thai cuisine wafting from the kitchen of Bangkok City @ Greenville. Aptly christened, this little restaurant manages to bring in the very essence of Bangkok to the heart of Dallas. In business since 1993, it seems to have established itself as one the best names in the city for Thai cuisine. The décor is traditional Thai with soft lights and wood work that make the ambience cosy and intimate, bordering on romantic. On entering you're welcomed by friendly staff who go out of their way to ensure your experience is memorable.

The menu combines many Asian favourites like edamame, chicken volcano and chicken satay along with serious Thai food. Begin with tom yum gai clear chicken soup and pad kee mow which is sautéed choice of meat with bamboo shoots, mushrooms and carrot in chilli sauce. For mains, make your selection of rice or noodles and order a spicy panang beef to go with it. Fish lovers may choose from salmon ginger and three other lip-smacking preparations, while those feeling moreadventurous may sample Japanese basa fish or fantasy fired rice. To conclude your experience of Bangkok City @ Greenville, go for the traditional fried ice cream, or if there isn't enough room, green tea ice cream makes a light dessert.
