I tried Bangkok because Basil's Thai Restaurant in Phoenix, NY is closed on Mondays and because of the reviews from the Restaurant's site (biased). Went for take out. Very expensive. $14 per entree with tiny portions. \r

1 entree was in a lg styrofoam soda fountain cup. Maybe for the soupy consistency of the beef entree. But there was no beef in it! Just onions and mushrooms and soupy sauce with a few slivers (literally less than 10 tiny slivers) of beef for $14.00? The noodle dish was dry and sticky, also $14. Neither was particulary tasty as I am accustomed to getting without fail at Erawan and Basil's. Granted Basil's has less ambiance and seating and largely take out. But food is without exception delicious, generous, and $7.95. I will never go to Bangkok again when Basil's is 6 miles north on the same road. I will just wait til Tuesday next time.
Pros: Convenience
Cons: Expensive, small portions with dry, tacky noodles and lacking beef in beef dish.
