BAY JOK • thai cuisine in Heidelberg

The staff tries hard and is very friendly to implement requests. It's not for nothing that reservations should be made. In terms of taste, I thought it was nice that fresh, unusual products were also used. There is always room for improvement, but the price/performance is right here. I'd love to come back!!

Very nice staff. Nice ambience, delicious and fresh food! Very very nice

Great authentic Thai restaurant! We've been looking for a long time and finally found our new Thai restaurant! Food like in Thailand and a very charming family atmosphere! Especially the papaya salad like in Thailan :-) We'll be back and we're looking forward to it!

A very good restaurant to eat Thai food. We asked in advance by telephone whether it would be possible to get gluten-free dishes - this was made possible on site. The food was delicious, the service was good and the price-performance ratio was good!

Great Khao Soi, and if you ask for spicy it will be really spicy :) Main dishes approx. 18€ (vegi) to 24€ (Khao Soi)

Excellent food, service and atmosphere

Incredibly delicious food, for us the best Thai restaurant in Heidelberg!

Bay Jok is a chic, small, lovingly decorated family-run Thai restaurant. We felt very comfortable from the start. The menu is small but completely sufficient and most importantly, very authentic. The food was really delicious and the staff were all very friendly and accommodating. We would go to Bay Jok again at any time.

We visited Bay Jok in April this year. Now, 8 months later, I still remember this restaurants as a highlight of our trip to Heidelberg. The staff is very friendly, very helpful, and the food is amazing. (A table reservation is recommended at this very popular place.) Well done Bay Jok, we will be back one day!

Das war einfach mit Abstand das beste thailändische Essen, dass ich je hatte. Absolut köstlich. Ambiente und Service ist auch nett. Sehr schönes Geschirr. Wenn man richtig großen Hunger hat sollte man eine Vorspeise nehmen.

This was by far the best Thai food I've ever had. Absolutely delicious. Ambience and service is also nice. Very nice dishes. If you are really hungry you should have an appetizer.

The restaurant has very good service and is always busy. A reservation is necessary. The food tastes really good but unfortunately the portion is a bit small. And the price is also very expensive.

5 well-deserved stars in all areas! The restaurant is family-run and therefore exudes a very warm atmosphere. The dishes were all delicious, the homemade sauces were simply delicious. If you love Thai, you have to come here! However, reservation is absolutely necessary.

We made reservations in advance in the restaurant because it is fully booked in the evenings. The best Thai that I know in the Mannheim/Heidelberg area. I can especially recommend Khao Soi (which is very rare to find in Thai restaurants here!)

Très bonne cuisine. Tous les plats sont extrêmement bien assaisonnés et joliment présentés. Un personnel absolument adorable. Nous avions mal réservé, mais on nous a quand même trouvé une place rapidement. Nous reviendrons !

Best Thai food I've ever eaten. Very friendly and professional. Clear recommendation!

Super fresh & super tasty! Wan Tan Che was incredibly good :)

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.

Every time we come here we are always amazed at the quality of the food and friendliness of the staff. Can be recommended without reservation - we have rarely eaten better Thai.

Leider schon um 18.30 komplett voll und warten sinnlos. Selbst schuld an einem langen Wochenende:-). Einfach was zum mitnehmen bestellt. 10 von 10.

Very tasty, points deducted for the time slot for eating, you don't feel so relaxed, rooms are a bit cramped

Short and sweet: This restaurant is the best Thai restaurant I have eaten at in years. Had two different dishes with duck - perfect in preparation and taste.

It certainly won't be the last time we've had super delicious food there.

Very good food in terms of quality and taste. My only criticisms are the slightly small portion sizes and the service, which could be a little friendlier. Since the store is very busy, it's hard to avoid some stress. By the way, reservations make sense here.

By far the best Thai food ever! We were there at the weekend and felt completely comfortable. Great card! Great service! Delicious, fresh food… we are completely thrilled 🤩 we will definitely come back the next time we visit Heidelberg!

Wow! Qué onda tan simple y moderna. Asegúrate de hacer una reserva porque odiaría que te la perdieras. Delicioso!

Very tasty food, very friendly staff. Delicious Thai dessert!

Great authentic Thai food. We loved the Khao Soi, Pat Khing and Som Tam. The only minor downside were some tiny Thai things like the dried shrimps missing. Nevertheless I’d recommend this place 10/10.

Really delicious Thai food, great atmosphere and friendly service. Many thanks for a lovely evening! :))

His attitude was so bad that he threw the plate on the table.

Reviews don’t lie for this one - Damn good thai food Didn’t LOVE the wee bit of attitude I got when ordering .. but got take out and would order and eat here again !

There were four of us at BAY JOK. Everyone enjoyed the food excellently. We didn't have to wait long. I can recommend the Prosecco Lytchi.

By far the best Thai restaurant I've ever been to. Great staff, high-quality food is also beautifully prepared, after all, the eye is there. What's also very important is that you don't have to wait long for your food. We can only recommend this 👍🏼

Hmmmm, simply delicious! Fans of Thai cuisine will love this restaurant. We were there for the second time today and it was again delicious. The restaurant is not that big, but very cozy. The food is beautifully decorated and everything tasted wonderful again.

Das Essen im Bay Jok war außergewöhnlich lecker, der Service sehr gut und das Ambiente geschmackvoll und zum Wohlfühlen. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Kurz und knapp: Dieses Restaurant ist das beste Thai Restaurant, in dem ich seit Jahren gegessen habe. Zwei verschiedene Gerichte mit Ente gehabt - perfekt in Zubereitung und Geschmack.

Lovely dinner, great service and cozy atmosphere!

Unfortunately for me it's overrated. As a starter there was the summer rolls, which were really tiny. But at €8.50 they have a proud price. I haven't found this combination anywhere in Germany. Unfortunately, the portions of the main courses were aimed more at children. Unfortunately, my partner and I couldn't get enough of it. The taste was good, but really not great. The service was okay. However, we had to wait a few minutes for a card and empty plates were not cleared away immediately. All in all, absolutely overrated for me.

Super vers Thais eten, alles was heerlijk! Aardige bediening. Heerlijke verse kruiden zowel met beef, kip als vegetarisch. Aanrader! Goede prijs-kwaliteit verhouding. Was druk, wij waren met zijn twee en kregen na 15 minuutjes een tafel.

I was alone and spontaneously got a seat. The restaurant was very busy, so a reservation makes sense. The service was very nice and attentive, the food (summer rolls, green curry, Thai basil ice cream) was super fresh and very tasty! Absolute recommendation!

best thai restaurant in HD for me

Just so delicious! We are thrilled every time and I am always sad when I am full 😄 The staff is loving and friendly. Heartfelt recommendation ♥️

It was a good job we booked a table as the place was full when we arrived. Very nice decor and atmosphere - well lit, stylish and comfortable. We ordered a vegan dish with sticky rice, tofu, roasted cashews and seasonal vegetables. It was absolutely delicious. One of the best Thai meals we've ever had. For desert we had the sticky rice with coconut ice cream. Tasty without being too filling. Service was quick and very friendly. We'll definitely be eating here again as soon as possible.

This is the REAL DEAL Thai experience in Germany—well, outside of Frankfurt, that is! If you’re touring around Heidelberg and just finished walking down the castle stairs, make sure to scoot over to this Thai spot—you won’t be disappointed! They stick to traditional Thai spice levels, not the watered-down American-style version, so if you order a 5 out of 5, be prepared! I like it spicy, but I’ve found that a 3 out of 5 is perfect, and you can always add more heat with the peppers and fish sauce at the table. The flavors are incredible, the ingredients are refreshingly fresh, and the soup is to die for. Just thinking about it makes me want to visit Pattaya City again!

Not only was the food excellent, the service was also super friendly! Would go again and again and can really recommend it.

The team was nice. There are great vegetarian dishes. I can recommend the vegetarian version of the sour-spicy soup. You should like coriander - but then it's great! We'll be back. Oh yes - it's better to reserve in advance...

One of the best Thai meals I’ve ever had. Depth of flavors, balance, freshness all amazing. Friendly staff as well. We were lat minute on a bust week night but they were able to accommodate us nonetheless.

Very good. Delicious top food. There is a bit of a lack of peace and coziness. But gladly again.

Delicious. Reservation strongly recommended.

Super tasty, great atmosphere. We would be happy to come back on our next visit to Heidelberg.

Great experience! We often visit Thailand and were very happy to find this restaurant in Heidelberg. Top service, great cuisine. If you love Thai food you have to come here!! :)

The food was very tasty. The service was ok, but could be better. The restaurant is very popular during the week, so it's best to make a reservation during the week. The food is a bit expensive :/

The overall experience was amazing! We loved the food and will definitely come back. Excellent food and very friendly service! The best place we tried in Heidelberg and we went to a lot of different restaurants.

Always full. Be sure to reserve. Food is ok.

Exquisite cuisine in a family restaurant! The food is outstanding. Freshest herbs paired with beautifully presented plates of carved vegetables. No matter whether soups, pasta or rice dishes and of course the most tender meat are served here in exceptional quality. There are also tasty drinks and cocktails. The ambience is rounded off by a harmonious interior including subtle, Far Eastern background sound.

No need to head into town! We happened upon this restaurant as we were staying at a nearby hotel. We were lucky enough to get a table .The food was outstanding, the service was excellent, we had a thoroughly lovely evening. We would highly recommend.

What can I say... You can't get it better in Thailand... Super friendly hosts, authentic food and everything homemade. Pad Thai and green curry are bomb 👍👍 Only recommended!!! However, a reservation is advisable.

Too warm, good food, slower service.

The food was pretty good. The service was a bit slow and in summer it's too hot to sit inside. Otherwise it feels like an Authentic Thai Experience.

Were visiting Heidelberg and tried this restaurant. The atmosphere is beautiful, the staff is very friendly and the food was delicious! Highly Recommended

Das Bay Jok ist wohl das beste Restaurant mit thailändischen Spezialitäten in Heidelberg. Die meisten Gerichte wie etwa eine Tom Kha Gai- Suppe (diese war die beste, die ich je gegessen habe) kennt man ja, aber das Bay Jok geht hier noch einen großen Schritt weiter: Es bietet auch ganz spezielle Gerichte an, wie sie der Chefkoch aus seiner Region mitgebracht hat. Das gibt es so nirgends. Wir hatten zweimal das Khao Soi, in der Karte die Nr.155, und wir haben sie bestellt, weil wir sie nicht kannten. Das Ergebnis hat uns geschmacklich geflasht. Eiernudeln mit Hühnchen-Umterkeulen in perfekt abgestimmter Mischung aus Kokosmilch, Curry, Zitronengras (hmmm), Galangal, Schalotten, Limetten, Koriander und Lauchzwiebeln ---das ergibt eine Geschmacks-Explosion, ehrlich. Probieren Sie selbst !

We spontaneously got a table here, even though the place was completely full. The Pad Thai and the red curry were very tasty and the service was good :)

Super delicious food! Also very good knowledge of gluten-free dishes. There is a special allergen menu for this and the staff also know which dishes contain gluten and which do not. An absolute recommendation with celiac disease!

Very tasty and fresh dishes. We recommend.

It tasted great and service was very nice. Happy to come back!

Authentic, very tasty food, great service and a super nice family. Thank you very much, we'll be happy to come back!

We've been here several times so far, even though I'm actually the kind of person who always wants to try out a new restaurant. That alone speaks not only for how good the food is here (especially the starter platter and the green curry are our favorites), but above all for how friendly the service is. Be sure to make a reservation because it gets very crowded here very quickly. What we noticed, however, is that they have designed the restaurant in such a way that there is an unusually large amount of space between the tables. So you don't have the feeling of being restricted just to be able to accommodate more guests. So it's just as suitable for family dinners as well as date nights where you don't necessarily want to sit close to other people. Always my pleasure!

I love Thai cuisine and the food in this restaurant was definitely the best food I have ever had in a Thai restaurant. Everything was freshly prepared, prepared with love and served so nicely - everything was just right. It wasn't just me - the whole family was absolutely thrilled.

Food and service top as always.

Ob mit Familie, mit Freunden oder mit Kollegen, die Erfahrung ist immer toll: hervorragendes Essen, freundliches Personal und schöne Atmosphäre. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Top! Tasty, friendly. I really enjoy going there and am always happy to recommend the restaurant. I've never received even a hint of negative feedback.

The food was really tasty, although the price was rather exorbitant. The service wasn't very friendly and the food took almost 1.5 hours to arrive. We found this block processing terrible and it was incredibly loud and uncomfortable. When I asked after about an hour (everyone else had already had their food) whether they had forgotten us, I was told to be patient. Even if the food was good, the rest was unfortunately not at all good. We're definitely not coming back. There are certainly nicer Thai restaurants in Heidelberg.

I have been eating here regularly for many years and am very satisfied. I don't know a better Asian restaurant in the area than Bay Jok. The quality holds up and has never decreased over the years. The service is friendly, funny and open, for me there is nothing to complain about here. For me, Bay Jok remains the number 1 place to go when it comes to healthy, delicious and fresh food.

One of our best discoveries in terms of Thai restaurant! Sublime food, generous portions, good wine, impeccable service, excellent value for money. We highly recommend this magnificent address.

We have been going to Bay Jok for years and are always very, very satisfied! The food tastes fantastic and the service is very accommodating. By far the best restaurant (and value for money) in Heidelberg!

The best Thai restaurant... we have been regulars for many years... super tasty... no matter what you eat!! And all the friends we take with us always come back...we are already looking forward to our next visit. A little tip: don't forget to reserve

everything was great in this restaurant. Big variety, perfect quality! good prices and friendly people. Hope to manage to go again.

I've been there several times, the food is great as always, super tasty but the prices are now extremely high. 10€ for two mini summer rolls, unfortunately the service was very unfriendly for the second time. It's a shame, because the food and ambience are really great.

Great papaya salad but ketchup based Pad Thai, if I have not been to Thailand you could have tricked me. However, this sweet pad Thai(21 Euro) might not taste good for anyone.. only 2 waiters trying to compensate the food for 42 people and one of the waiters is treating you not good. Please do not waste your money by trusting these 4.6 ratings. Management must keep their workers happy!

4 stars because it was good but it didn't blow me away. The vegetarian main courses and starters sound very tasty. The organic vegan ice cream from the Skama Bros in Bahnstadt is also great.

Absolut authentisches Essen, bestes außerhalb Thailands! Toller Service, aber man muss reservieren. Ist immer sehr gut besucht, zurecht.

Super authentic food. Fresh, delicious and super spicy. Great staff

This place is a real hidden gem that is definitely worth a visit and leaving the old town centre for. The food and service were excellent, real authentic Thai food. Recommend you book in advance to avoid disappointment

We spontaneously went to dinner and were lucky to get a table; Reservations recommended. The service was friendly and the food came very quickly. The dishes were freshly prepared, authentic and delicious. Only the location right on a main road is a bit like being at a train station.

We ate there for the first time a few days ago and we were very impressed. Everything was right: from first-class service with the right recommendations from starters to dessert. Fresh aromatic and delicious cuisine. The rose wine was uniquely good. Atmosphere very pleasant. We'll definitely be back!

Unfortunately, we were disappointed with our experience at Bay Jok. The lady on the phone when making the reservation was a bit unfriendly and that continued with the service. Despite a reservation, we had to wait another 10 minutes outside (we were on time) and the guests who went in shortly after us were allowed to sit down straight away. Unfortunately we were also very disappointed with the food. The first portion of rice was very dry and unfortunately so was the beef in our dish. This is much better. When we then had to wait another 15-20 minutes for the bill, we were completely served (pun intended). Didn't feel welcome and the food wasn't worth the price. Won't be coming back. Experience refers to 05/21/24 7:30 p.m

The food is really, really good! Tastes like Thailand!!! We were lucky to get a table without a reservation. Nevertheless, I would make a reservation next time as the restaurant is probably very popular.

As always, a very good meal, you definitely have to reserve a table. We will be back.

Very good food. Unfortunately, the service staff was inattentive and not very friendly. We were in the restaurant at 6 p.m. and were only asked for the first time after 20 minutes if we wanted something to drink. The main course came after about an hour and a half. When we made the reservation we were told that we would only have the table until 7:45 p.m. There were just 15 minutes left to eat. Being hungry for a long time and then having to eat quickly is not very pleasant. I won't be going back there any time soon. It's actually a shame because, as I said, the food is very good.

Very tasty, authentic Thai food is served. The service is provided by a team of hostesses who were “born” to do this.

Many friends and acquaintances recommended the restaurant to us and we were not disappointed. We've never had Thai food so good and the service was top notch... we'll be back!

Magical. That's a word that came to mind when I tried the chicken skewer. “That looks nice!” said the young lady who accompanied me when the starter was served. We were late and probably already had 30 Minutes before, the other guests had all placed their orders, but we were still greeted warmly, the service was friendly and quick. For my companion with celiac disease, i.e. a necessary gluten-free diet, there was a special card with clearly stated allergens, which also differentiated the options. The ICE tea was fantastic, the food was a pleasure in every respect. The reference to the spiciness for me, I rarely eat spicy food, just right. We will come again and I will recommend anyone traveling to Heidelberg to eat here.

My favourite Thai place ever, have been coming here for years and while the prices have gone up, the quality is consistently excellent, delicious food, and even more generous portions that before.

Tasty, nice, quick. That's how it has to be.

The restaurant is very popular and requires a reservation. Service very friendly and quick. Food is top! I always like to recommend the local restaurant, unfortunately only open for dinner. The map isn't super big, but you'll definitely find something. The prices are not cheap.

Tasty but quite expensive. You have to want it. Otherwise everything was good, the waitress would have a smile 👍🏻

Walked in here by chance... And we were so excited that we immediately reserved for the next week. Great service, great food 😍

Delicious vegetarian dishes and large portions. Very friendly service.

Amazing freshness of products. Staff is really friendly but be patient, sometimes forgot your drinks. But the restaurant is small so never takes long.
