Flavorful, classic Thai food: chicken basil, pad Thai, beef rendang; green, yellow, red, or masaman curry.
UNIQUE DISH
One Night in Bangkok is the hottest and spiciest dish on the menu with chicken, beef, or pork sautéed with basil leaf and hot pepper-it's a socially acceptable way to have a sweaty onenight stand.
Banquettes line two walls of the somewhat triangular room; small, Formica tables fill the awkward space in adjustable combinations.
AMBIENCE/CLIENTELE
Wall-mounted lamps illuminate teal walls, giving the place-and diners wearing white-a funky green-blue glow. Boston College students and casual Cleveland Circle locals keep the place
rocking every evening, while the open kitchen noticeably elevates the noise level.
Extras/Notes
Though a bit startling, the pink facade is actually appropriate, as Bangkok is a major muscle keeping the pulse of Cleveland Circle strong.
