Bangkok 1 is now Ban Thai but the food remains the draw for this hidden gem. The food is prepared by a Thai chef and is as authentic as it gets.... every dish we tried was great... from exotic pork Phad Nam Prik to run of the mill som tam, red curry or phad thai every dish sings authentic Thai and it's delicious. The setting is quaint and one can let their hair down. The staff are knowledgable and very helpful.... all-in-all a great dining experience!!!

Having lived in south east Asia for a Long time, I know what authentic Thai food is! This place is a gem, the food is as close to authentic as you can get sitting in a small shack in Phuket or Krabi. They have toned down the Thai Chili padi for Indian taste buds, so if you like yours to be "chillied up", let them know when you place your order. The pad Thai was good but not great, the tom kha ga was as authentic as I have had in Thailand, the pork with black pepper was great (though it might not go down well with folks who don't like fish sauce). The highlight of the meal for us was the stir fry prawn in egg curry sauce. Now this is a dish one only gets to Savour in the streets of Thailand, traditionally served with crab. I have never come across any restaurants that serves the Thai egg curry dish in north india. Just for that and getting the Flavours right I give this restaurant a 5 point! The ambience looked cosy enough but we went there to get food picked up, so can't say much about the service.
I had briefly gone there once and though I didn't have any food, I promised myself that I will come back. So, me and family were there for dinner tonight and it didn't disappoint one bit. The chef from Thailand came out to explain what some of the dishes were and he made us a special starter sampler (which was not even in the menu). We ordered the dishes (a rice, a noodle and a pork) and all of them were really well prepared, with clear flavours and nice aftertaste. The service was good, though I think the girls there were relatively new and didn't know what some of the dishes were. Most of all, my 3 year old daughter really enjoyed the place and the company she got there. Definitely a place worth every rupee.
The food is authentic, place is good for business discussion or having a date with your better half as you have a calm environment and open air seating.
So went to Bangkok 1 Thai Restro to have dinner with family. I really liked the ambience, its clam and cozy yet happening... they have both indoor and outdoor seating..
Good food, enjoyed every bit of our meal from the crab claw starter, the soap, the stir fry and the spicy fried rice. I must say portions are pretty decent and filling.
Pocket friendly price, good service.
We had a great time here.
I am going go back soon to try their other dishes as well.
You have good Thai and Chinese cuisine served here, if you visit this place you get positive feeling due to open air seating, you can customize your food, you can discuss with the chef and ask him to prepare the food the way you would like to have that makes you feel that you are having your food in home.

Bangkok 1, I would say is a hidden gem in Golf Course Road of course! This outlet was actually been discovered when I was just passing the lane and as I was hungry, I decided that instead I visit my friend, I shall call them up to this restaurant and we'll have lunch together. The only reason I called my friend is. because she love Thai food and stays nearby and she was not even aware about this outlet. So, it was a kind of a surprise for her.
THE AMBIANCE :
Bangkok 1 in golf course road is actually an open air restaurant with a limited seats to sit under the roof. Trust me, winters are the perfect time to be there as it simply turns beautiful in the evening and on top of that you're surrounded by grass and trees and great food! What else you need? An amazing part, you don't have to leave the table to smoke if you're one of them as you can smoke sitting on your chair as it's an open air facility.
THE FOOD :
Food, in one of the amazing part in Bangkok 1. I have gone through their entire menu and trust me, I saw so much alien names in the menu, I was really confused as what to order and what not to. While I was finding it very difficult to understand each and every dish, their chef came to me and asked me for help. I told him that I as a person hate lemon grass and Kaffir lime flavors on my plate so, I requested him to get few dishes accordingly on his own. Must say, once I told him about my dislike and whatever he brought for me he made sure that he was not serving Kaffir Lime or Lemon Grass. To which I was very impressed. There were many dishes that I really enjoyed but few of them like, Crab Claws, Sea Weed Chicken, Sea Food Salad & Momos are some must haves that I'd personally recommend you to have.
The eye catcher was the Hot Pot that they do at their restaurant. Its actually a kind of a Korean Style BBQ where at this kind of an awesome weather you can have an amazing pork, chicken, prawns & bacon been made sizzling hot right in front of you. This is something that makes this restaurant different from all the other places that I've ever been to.
Thus, this restaurant will be in my top list of must visit and would recommend all of you to be here atleast once if you're reading this.
My Final Rating : 5 On 5! Totally Perfect!

Bangkok 1 outlet has changed many names from Pablo earlier to Cress Courtyard and Now Bangkok 1...It surely comes under prime property this place
is now run by First time entrepreneurs Mr. Rahul and his team and Thai Chef who takes care of the entire kitchen and Food at this place...Located right besides Ocus Technopolis building, it has Indoor seating with AC while outside it has Al-fresco seating which will surely do amazing for the coming winters....It is surrounded by a lot of Greenery and Trees which is unlike many outlets in Gurgaon...It has open seating in the center which is again a plus point for this outlet....Serving Chinese, Japanese and Thai this place is well known for its Authentic Thai Food for sure...
HIGHLIGHTS
*.* HOT POT/STEAM POT which is like a Stainless Steel vessel placed over burning coal in the center with sides containing Broth and Top containing all kind of Meats which are smoked with this burning coal to give a Chargrilled flavour to the meats...
*.* Sea Food Salad,
*.* Wasabi Prawns,
*.* Coconut Water Jelly,
OTHER AMENITIES :
Ample Parking space outside which is Free makes it easier to come and park your car without any worries especially on the weekends...The outside area or the entrance is a bit on the average side but that easily compensates with the Open-ness feel of the inside...
STAFF/SERVICE/TEAM :
The Staff is Soft spoken, Nice and courteous but needs a bit of the training in some dishes as they seemed to get a little bit confused with the Names I dont blame them as it is a very tuff task to remember such names in Thai but I guess this is a short term problem only considering it is opened a Few Months ago only....
Team is nicely structured with 2 Managers, 5-6 Servers and other people so out and out they can easily solve all of your individual queries while serving and plating the food on your table be it inside or outside seating...
Kitchen Team headed by the Thai Chef is also structured well....Chef himself is involved in the Cooking from scratch thereby making the dish very Authentic and hence what comes to us on the table is unmatched almost any restaurant where I have had Thai Food in many months...Although Chef does not talk a lot in English but he does speak it and you will have a nice experience talking to him almost comical but please be patient :)!!
FOOD/GRUB AT BANGKOK 1:
The Food that was presented to me was IMPECCABLE THAI from Starters to Main Course it was a wholesome and flavorful experience with my mouth bursting with flavors in each bite and I am not kidding at all, I was so satisfied that I spoke to the Chef and actually praised him for such good food being served to me and the guests who came along with me...
*.* Sea Food Salad : A total mix of Spicy, Tangy & Refreshing to the palate the Sea Food Salad was the highlight for me....It was soo flavorful & contained all kinds of Greens- Salad Leaves, Garnish and Sea-Food/Meats like Prawns, Crab, Fish & last but not the least it had loads of Peanuts that add to the crunchiness of the salad making it really flavorful for me....I think it is a MUST HAVE when you visit Bangkok 1 anytime soon...
*.* Som Tum Salad : Resembling a Coleslaw and had small quantity Thai flavoring agents like Wasabi on the sides...it had bits of Raw papaya and other Thai herbs too...although I am not a ardent Veg fan but I like my Salads and Soups even if they are Veg....
*.* Tom Kha (Veg) : Out and out a Coconut Milk and Veggies soup with Thai herbs....being plated in a Bowl it is somewhat like a Meal in itself....I love when flavoring agents like Kafir Lime leaves are added to the soup, that wow your taste buds and make you enjoy your meal...I loved the consistency of the Soup which ideally according to me should be just on the thick side as this is not a very clear soup at all this is a semi thick one also filling your tummy...
*.* Wasabi Prawns : Jumbo prawns coated in a Wasabi dressing which had Bell pepper and Mayonnaise...Personally I loved the plating of the dish as well, as it had Green colour in the dish...the prawns were good quality and quantity and cooked to perfection along with the creamy and balanced dressing and pungent Wasabi it was also a MUST HAVE according to me....
*.* Prawns Spring Roll : It was essentially Filo sheets wrapped in Jumbo prawns and deep fried to get the crunchiness in our mouths....I also thought that the sheet was nicely made in-house or pre-made this was a highly thin and cracked up really well had no after taste and also deep fried to perfection not overdone or underdone at all...I personally liked this dish too and texture of the dish was my favourite...
*.* Chicken Dimsums : Steamed dimsums added to the already existing burst of flavors in my mouth....I liked it and since it was steamed its always a pleasure to have non-oily simple things like dimsums....
*.* Chicken Nori : Like a Sushi it was wrapped in whats called a Nori Sheet and was filled with mined meat, herbs and etc....Mild in taste but high on flavors was the one line description according to me for this item...I like such items in Starters as they add to the taste factor and are non-curried in nature...
*.* Crab Claws with Chicken : Unique dish in which they used actual Crab Claws with Chicken wrapped around it making it seem like one is having an actual crab claw...high on presentation I loved the mixture of the meat and it is something that can go very well with alcohol or drinks as finger food if I can say....Unique and well plated it could be tried for sure...
*.* Pork Ribs : Perfectly shaped Pork Ribs cooked to perfection and made with Red wine sauce added to the sweetness was a perfect blend of spicy and sweet....the meat was tender and coming off the bone really well...the flavor was nice and although to me Pork chops are not exactly Thai but I learnt that it is also served as a delicacy in those countries as well....Good Overall....
*.* Penang Chicken Curry : Super Tasty dish....well textured, well spiced, well made and thick texture made for the perfect blend of curries for me....Again made with Coconut base and Thai pastes this did well for me and our entire gang...chicken was in good quantity and boneless in nature and some veggies as well...I would recommend try other curries and not always Red and Green Thai curries and you never know you might like it...
*.* Crispy Sea Bass in Thai Herbs : Cooked with the whole Fish as a whole it had crispy fish (sea bass) was highly tasty and everyone enjoyed it more with the Sticky rice then anything else...
*.* Sticky Rice : Thai Food and Chinese always complement best flavors with Sticky rice somehow....I have heard it not from anyone but the local side outlets who always used to serve sticky rice so one day I asked and came the reply was that they have some of their own taste that adds to the richness of the dishes...I felt the same as well whatever I ate with Stick rice I could make a difference with the taste yet fill my tummy with some rice as well....
*.* Steamed Fish in Black Bean Sauce : The fish was nice and soft the black bean sauce was normal to avergae I did not like it that much the consistency was ...but it was nice nevertheless but I dont think I would recommend it to all but only to the Black bean sauce lovers...
*.* Glass/Flat Noodles : Good quality rightly cooked Glass noodles always adds to the taste of the dishes....they were soft, cooked to perfection and came along with some veggies as well...Flat and Glass both complement well with the
*.* Coconut Fried Rice : Anothier Hit amongst my friends was the Rice with Coconut flavor and could be had alone as it is or with a particular dish...people really loved mixing this with Penang curry somehow...
***** HOT POT*******
The Highlight of the Day was they served us a Hot Pot in a Steel container with Coal in the middle and Broth on the sides....it keeps the vessel warm and the Meats in the middle become chargrilled as there are perforations and Holes in the middle making the entire experience a combination of a Soup come Barbecue in the open....The best part is that you yourself make the meats by turning them as they are grilled and adding Raw eggs on the meats making them soft and the broth so that they become grilled with flavors....I loved the concept and I will go back again and again only for this Hot Pot I am sure of the same...I would RECOMMEND this as a MUST TRY for anyone who comes here....Try all the Meats, Crab, Fish, Prawns, Chicken and Calamari, Fish Balls etc...Trust me you will love it...
DESSERTS AT BANGKOK 1
*.* Coconut Water Jelly : Simple yet Elegant is the name of the dish according to me....it is a jelly based sweet which is wobbly in nature is made from Fresh Real coconut water and the best part is that it is not highly but aptly Sweet...I thin that although this is not in the Menu and the Chef gave us this for a Trial but we really loved and would recommend this to all !!
*.* Cakes : The Owner also has a Cake shop just outside in the same campus so he made us try small portion of his Cakes like Fresh Fruits and Chocolate Mousse...Both were very nice and recommended too...
Repeat Visit : 110%

Location : 4/5
Ambience : 4/5
Overall : 5/5
Great place for Thai food lovers... must go place if you looking for change......@ lavish garden and cozy indoor and semi indoor.......... good luck
This place is just perfect for the chilly evenings where one can enjoy the cold weather along with some authentic thai delicacies. Talking about the location of this amazing place , you can find bangkok 1 on the golf course very near to the ocus technopolis building and it is opposite to the hdfc building. And after visiting this place , thai cuisine is now one of my favourites. Talking about the service and hospitality , service could have been a bit better for me but then if you are getting such delicacies I can skip the point. The whole staff is very courteous and welcoming. If you are planning to visit this amazing place which has an amazing open seating arrangement then do try the chicken nori , wasabi prawns , prawns spring rolls , chicken penang curry & steamed fish in black bean sauce. And not to forget if you are a salad lover then do try their sea food salad which is just soul satisfying for me. And their hot pot is a must must try. I am sure you wont regret after trying it.
