HOW GROUP BOOKINGS WORK (THE SIMPLE VERSION)
To ensure smooth service and the best possible experience:
All large bookings require coordination with our events team and a pre-payment or security to secure the reservation. You’ll be guided through each step of the booking process by our coordinators to ensure everything is confirmed smoothly.
- Terrace bookings of 9+ guests are required to select a sharing banquet from our Group Dining Menu
- Indoor bookings of 13+ guests are encouraged to select a group dining menu
- If a sharing menu doesn’t suit your group, alternative arrangements may be possible for inside bookings depending on the day and time
- For larger groups and exclusive spaces, minimum food & beverage commitments apply
If you’re unsure what’s best — just get in touch. Our team reviews each enquiry individually and will guide you through the best option.

Our Food Philosophy
At BangPop, Thai food is made to be shared.
Our menus are inspired by the energy of Thailand’s street food culture — bold flavours, fresh ingredients and dishes designed to land in the middle of the table. It’s relaxed, social dining where everyone gets a taste of everything.
Our chefs have carefully curated a range of group dining and stand-up event packages that showcase the very best of BangPop. These menus are designed to highlight our signature dishes, balance flavours across the table, and ensure a smooth, enjoyable experience for groups of all sizes.
While other options may be available, we highly recommend one of our sharing banquets — it’s the best way for your guests to enjoy the full BangPop experience, with generous serves, vibrant variety and the kind of dining that brings everyone together.
