This restaurant was spectacular! We went after a day at Busch Gardens and not wanting to eat park food. This restaurant is barely a ten minute drive away from the park, and it is an absolute must!

I lived in Thailand for 4 years and have struggled to find Thai food in the US that tasted authentic. Most American Thai restaurants really change the flavor to fit more with what Americans like, which is annoying. This place has been, by far, the most authentic tasting that I have found, it was really good. I will definitely go again. I recommend the kaprow gai kai dow (it’s a stir fry dish that has nicely seasoned chicken and a fried egg on top) I ate that almost everyday in Thailand, usually with minced pork instead of chicken though, and this place is the only place that tasted like it could have been from Thailand.

A-MAY-ZINE!!!!!! May is an amazing host. I ordered to-go and ended up staying to sit and eat and have a conversation with her. She took the time to offer different sauces and flavorings to help my desire for spicy food. EXCELLENT customer service. Definitely going to come back again to try the duck!

This is a great Thai restaurant in the area. It’s usually pretty easy to get a table. The staff is very welcoming. The service is pretty fast, too. You can count on getting your money’s worth here. The food is delicious. It’s definitely a go to restaurant for Thai food. The portions are definitely a good size. The only reason for not giving it a 5 star is because the decor is a little dated. The place could use a little remodeling. But, it’s truly worth checking out!

From out of State, stopped in for Thai food to avoid the mission in the freeway. Had been craving Thai, and this was great! Tom Kha soup, papaya salad, spicy crispy duck (so good(, and the crab fried rice. All delicious, and you know it’s hard to find a Thai place that does a good job on several dishes. So glad we stopped.

If I could give 10 stars I would! I live 3 hours from this place, and every time I come see family here I come straight to Emerald Thai! Over 10 years now. I was pleasantly surprised today when I saw all the updates and beautiful paint job the new owners did. The new owners are extremely friendly as an added plus! Definitely recommend!

After a long day at Busch gardens, we ordered to go and picked up food from here. We brought it back to the hotel. Everything was amazing, especially loved the house fried rice. Thank you.
