I HAD TO WEAR MY JACKET THROUGH THE WHOLE MEAL since we were seated in the corner near the window. I could literally feel a draft! Despite having a cute outfit I was forced to keep my jacket on. Not sure how cheap this place is trying to be because everyone had scarves and jackets on. It actually looked ridiculous. I saw the thermostat wasnt even on and its December 2nd! This place has officially fallen off for me!!!!! The last few times were not great!!! and last night was just plain underwhelming. I tipped more than 20% since the service was actually good for once. Last time I brought a group here I felt like an idiot when our server couldnt even manage to give us silverware with our food. While our food was getting cold and we were unable to eat, we saw her outside smoking with another server. Back to last night: FRIDAY night and the cook in the kitchen was just mediocre. Why would you put a crappy cook in the kitchen on a friday night?!!? I have had the Vietnamese pancake literally hundreds of times and it was JUST OKAY. They have CHANGED THE MENU and not for the better!! The Salmon portions are small as ever for ~$17. There is now only ONE UDON noodle dish and it tastes like salty garbage. The thai iced tea is still good but I cant see myself coming back here anytime soon because it is always hit or miss. Even their "hit"nights arent so great. If the food is good your server is outside smoking. If the service is amazing your food is mediocre. NEVER ORDER: The Pad Thai: I have to support the opinion of another reviewer who stated that it tastes horrible. It is not even like pad thai. This comment is 100% spot on: "He and I both assumed the kitchen must have made some sort of mistake and given me something else because it was so bad. Ive tried getting it 2 other times, it never gets any better." When I ordered the Pad Thai I actually sent it back to the kitchen because I was so certain there was a mistake in the kitchen, but it sounds like thats just how they make it. About to loose a good customer who tips amazingly for good service but if you dont care then neither do I because trying to cut my (JUST OKAY) food with my jacket on was STUPID.

BEST THAI IN BUFFALO. ITS LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF ANYPLACE ELSE Well, to begin I have tried The Saigon Cafe( befcozyand after their relocation), cozy thai, teton kitchen, Thai House, and both locations for Saigon Bangkok. The Saigon Cafe was my favorite place in the world for food back when they were across from Panos. They moved and now its awful. So.... Saigon Bangkok on transit is my new favorite as i had to find another great Thai rerestaurant. I am appalled that there are bad reviews of this place. I constantly crave their food. To the point of it being a problem as i dont see any point of dining anyplace else. I LOVE the curry dishes the most. The vermicceli bun is awesome. And my mom always gets the pad-see-ew chicken. *Dont get me started on the Tom-kha, tom-yum, or the hot&sour soups. They are my favorite gifts from the heavens.* Half of the time ill order 2 soups and crispy spring rolls for myself and be left in a savory state of euphoric ecstasy. Nothing makes me happier. Lunchtime(11-3) is awesome as i get a curry dish with a single spring roll and a side of soup for just under $14. I typically leave over stuffed with no leftovers. If i need desert i get more soup. Also the lime infused water they serve is a nice touch. I LOVE this place. Next time ill try the Pho noodle soup as Ive heard its awesome.

One of the best hidden jewels left on transit rd. Me an my wife love the food and great service the staff provide when ever we visit this great location bit of a wait sometimes if you dont call ahead for reservations,but like anything well worth the wait. Plus the take out is amazing highly recommend to any one wanting some great tasting Thai, an Vietnamese food.

Amazing food and service all for a price you cant beat. My wife and I came here for dinner and left with full bellies for a little under $25. The restaurant is very clean and has the feel of a fancier establishment without the high price. Definitely a great date night destination.

The food is good but the service is very slow and unattentive. Didnt ask how our food was or if we needed anything. Had to flag down other server to ask for a refill on our drink and some soy sauce. Either she was too busy in the back or on her cellphone to care.

Bland food. No heat or flavor. Nice kind people. Non memorable food. Try the king and I for better Thai food. I dont understand what previous reviewers are talking about. I went here based on these reviews and was disappointed. Sorry. Thank you for good service.

Very good summer rolls and tom yum soup. Very few empty tables when I got there and they were doing a lot of take out orders. Liked the addition of chili paste to the peanut sauce. Would recommend this restaurant highly. Staff was busy but attentive.

This is one of my wife and mines favorite restaurants. I highly recommend the Pad See Ew. We keep trying new things but always go back to our trusted favorite. The wine selection is really good too!

My girlfriend and I go to Bangkok once a week and its a treat every time. I would highly recommend the Hu Tieu Xao - a lightly sauced noodle dish with vegetables and your choice of protein! Yummmmm

The food is very good, especially the fried rice and pad thai. I didnt try the curry, but Ive heard good things about it too. Wait was a little long and the service was decent.

Tempura is small for the price, Pho is tasty and a great value, Xio Cai is pretty tasty. Service was slow but otherwise good food and great looking restaurant.

Some interesting selections of beer. The interior is done very well but the food doesnt match the interior. When I think Thai food I think fast and casual.

Food was very good and service was proper. Very tight seating and reservations recommended on a busy night. Overall I just think it belongs downtown.

Great Thai food, just ask for heat if you want it spicier and the best hot & sour soup I have ever had!
