eh, sorry, nice people here, but this isn't good pad thai, overly vinegary (pretty sure my colleague and I stunk up the office that Friday…) and especially not at $12. I have eaten a lot of pad thai and safe to say this is not good at all. let's put it this way. I like the pad thai from the sixth avenue street cart better. the whole vanderbilt food hall is so-so food at not so great prices.
Overpriced. $4 for a Thai ice tea when I can normally get it for $2. Food was meh like my rating. They have the lunches pre-made so they're just sitting in plastic food containers till you order and they throw whatever type of meat you choose on top of it. Probably the worst pad thai I've ever had.
Kind of surprised at the dismal reviews for this place. I enjoyed my meal here quite a lot. I ate here today and got the rice bowl. They allow you to try two different toppings so I got the green curry chicken, and the spicy chicken basil. Yes, it came to me quickly because I don't expect a small food vendor to start cooking a curry from scratch the moment I order it. My dishes were very spicy which I loved. I order Thai food pretty often and the flavors here really were above average. The only reason it's 3 stars and not 4 is that I thought it was a little too expensive.

I went at noon thirty because, why not fight off angry lunch mobs in the middle of Manhattan? Only waited ~8 minutes to get through the line.
A giant, steaming pile of chicken pad Thai cooking on the flattop grill beckoned me to order it. And being the impressionable Asian that I am, I surrendered immediately.
A generous amount of protein accompanied the well balanced and flavorful noodles. All in all, I'd say the perfect serving size at a reasonable price, given the area.
I had their pad thai at a street market before and was satisfied. I got the chicken curry over brown rice this time and it was not good. The chicken tasted like it had been sitting there in a heating tray all morning and had the wrong texture. Rice was also too cold. Bad meal. The line moved fairly long. If you get pad thai, it's pre-prepared and they add peanuts or something.
I tried their chicken pad thai at Urbanspace Vanderbilt and I thought it was okay. It was nothing out of this world. The meal came to $13 and change which I didn't mind because the portion was decent. Nothing was wrong with the food but I wasn't overly impressed that I would need to come back for more.
Bangkok B.A.R. specializes in fresh street food of Thailand that utilizes traditional ingredients and techniques. In addition to the classic noodle dishes like Pad Thai and curry rice bowls, Bangkok B.A.R. showcases the Hangover Noodle Soup. The dish features tender pieces of chicken and rice noodles in warm chicken broth, which are then topped with cilantro, crushed peanuts, and a hint of spicy seasoning. The noodles were a bit overcooked and it was SO spicy!

I wish I had skipped that pork belly bun, though.
