What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners rave about the delicious Thai fusion cuisine and the warm, modern ambiance, often calling it the best Thai food they've had in a long time. While service is generally praised for being outstanding, fast, and attentive, a few reviews mentioned an unfriendly phone experience and some found portions smaller than expected for the price. The food is high quality with good gluten-free options, though some note it's not as spicy as traditional Thai.
"Just come back from Bangkok and still craving for Thai food, I decided to have tom yum soup for today’s dinner. I was lucky that my friend was able to reserve a table for us in the last minute. Bay joke is normally full.
I enjoyed the tom yum soup and Pad thai. It’s very tasty like the one I had in Bangkok."

"From outside the Bay Jok looks inconspicuous but inside you find a warm, modern and friendly ambience. A reservation is recommended. Very friendly service. Started with a delicious and refreshing aperitive. Dishes and some drinks are a bit high priced but of a very good taste and quality. If you are very hungry a starter is recommended, since they are delicious but not big. Main course was delectable and sufficient. Normal waiting times."
