Bangkok D.K Thai Food is a Thai food stall located within Johnson Eatery coffeeshop on Lorong 1 Toa Payoh, serving affordable Thai staples to the neighbourhood. With around $10 per person and 13 reviews on Burpple (17 wishlists), it's a well-regarded hawker-style option for casual Thai food.
Reviewers on Burpple have highlighted the Olive Fried Rice — a wok-fried rice dish with five prawns and a side dip sauce — as a standout, alongside tomyum noodles, Thai chicken rice, moo ping (grilled pork skewers), basil pork with rice, and green curry chicken with rice, the last noted for its generous portion of vegetables and mild spice level. A few reviewers have mentioned some dishes, including the moo ping, lean a little sweeter than expected, though most reviews describe the food as flavourful and good value.
Tucked inside Johnson Eatery on Lorong 1 Toa Payoh, Bangkok D.K Thai Food has built a steady following among Burpple reviewers looking for affordable, no-frills Thai cooking in a coffeeshop setting.
At around $10 per person, Bangkok D.K Thai Food sits firmly in cheap-and-good territory, dishing out familiar Thai staples without the trappings of a full sit-down restaurant. The stall has picked up 13 reviews and 17 wishlists on Burpple, a decent showing for a single coffeeshop stall.
Among the dishes reviewers keep coming back to, the Olive Fried Rice gets particular praise — a quick wok-tossed fried rice loaded with five prawns and served with a dip sauce, described by one reviewer as "flavourful every spoonful" and "highly recommended." It's ordered often enough to show up in multiple separate reviews over the years.
Beyond the fried rice, the stall's tomyum noodles and Thai chicken rice have both been called "nice and delicious" by reviewers, though one noted both leaned a little sweet. The green curry chicken with rice draws praise for its generous serving of vegetables alongside the chicken, with reviewers noting it isn't overly spicy — a plus for those who want the curry's flavour without too much heat. For something more casual, the moo ping (grilled pork skewers, three to an order) offers a thick, well-marinated bite, though — like a few other dishes here — some reviewers find the sweetness a touch strong for their taste.
The basil pork with rice is another dish that keeps appearing in reviews, generally described as well cooked with a good portion size — the kind of dish reviewers say they end up trying at almost every Thai stall they visit, and one they were happy with here.
Bangkok D.K Thai Food is open daily from 11:00am to 10:00pm, making it a viable option for both lunch and late dinner. It's located within Johnson Eatery at 125 Lorong 1 Toa Payoh, #01-523, and orders can be placed by calling or via the stall's Facebook page. For those exploring Toa Payoh's food scene, it's a solid, budget-friendly stop for a Thai food craving without needing to book a table or spend much beyond $10 a head.
