We invite you to discover the authentic delights of Thailand and Szechuan under one roof. Whether it's for a romantic night out, a business meeting or a celebration, we are ready to greet you with a warm atmosphere, with our large dining room and a spacious terrace, accompanied with a courteous service at each visit.
Emeraude de Bangkok draws mixed notices from diners, with some praising it as a convenient Dorval find offering generous portions, a friendly bring your own wine policy, and consistently tasty dishes that work well as a casual Thai option in a strip mall setting, including pad Thai, soups, and well prepared vegetables, all in a clean, pleasant atmosphere. Others warn that the cuisine veers away from authentic Thai, leaning toward buffet style dishes with MSG and salt, and note occasional service hiccups, especially on busy nights when main courses arrive late and communication about delays is lacking. Several guests report reliable good service and fast cooking on regular visits, while New Year's Eve meals were described as chaotic with long waits and smaller portions. On balance, Emeraude de Bangkok is seen as worth returning on quieter nights for decent prices and generous portions, with friendly staff and a bring your own wine perk, alongside caveats about spice levels, consistency, and how the menu feels.
Food is basic, the green curry beef was sweet & not at all spicy, very noisy on a Saturday night, waiters were on the go looked like they could use a dose of Prozac. It was ok for a night out with friends but you'll have a difficult time having a conversation. Pretty average. 2nd visit & it will be the last. Staff are unfriendly & never smile. Food this time was mediocre.

Whoa, this place introduced self inflicted shrinkflation. No longer worth going imho, see why below. Take out Order.
We order (used too, now no more) from Emeraude Bangkok for two reasons.
1) it was priced less than our favorite place for Szechuan - Latitude 31 (each plate is $10 less than Latitude 31) & was good value.
2) The General Tao went from decent (no where as good as Latitude 31) to eventually so bad that it's a hard pass (too much batter, too sweet & not enough meat). So we chose the Sesame Beef which was good. Well, no more ARGH!!!
SHRINKFLATION... the Sesame Beef is dry, because the portion size is a little less (same container size) & there next to no sesame seed sauce in each platter. Sheesh. 3 platters of Sesame Beef, all three dry.
Fortune Cookies are extra, no longer are they included & no longer available at the pickup desk.
Soy Sauce? it's EXTRA. No longer included.
Damn. Your cost cutting in the most damaging way. How'bout giving & including the'little extras' (not that I miss them, but it's a phycological thing) the fortune cookies & soy sauce yourself so you can control the abuse (people would take handful sometimes, instead of one per person).
OH, & since when do you get a brow beating for a pick up order & not tipping. Really!!! 1) do you really need to tip for a pick up order? Your not being served by a waiter, or cleaned up after, nor using utensils & plates! 2) Webster Merriam Definition for gratuity: something given voluntarily or beyond obligation usually for some service.
Great, an even more reason to not go there to get our szechuan fix.
Look, $10 more for a platter of General Tao ($19.45 vs $30.00) similar quantity & it's the gold standard no longer is worth the saving when ordering 3 platters worth of food if the food sucks.
(*Latitude 31 is the old chef's & sous-chef's from the closed L'Orchidée de Chine - they will even make you off menu items at Latitude 31 from the old L'Orchidée de Chine menu like Mongolian Beef).
Just found out of this hidden gem in Dorval. 15 minutes from my house. Good service. Had the special for 2. Won Ton soup, Peanut Butter Dumplings, General Tao chicken, sauted vegetables & rice. You can bring your own wine. Easy to park. I will definitely return.
2 étoiles sans plus! Ce restaurant a rien d'un Thaï, de la bouffe de buffet chinois bourrés de MSG trop salé. Bizarrement certains légumes goûtait le congélateur! Nous nous sommes fait avoir une fois!
We have eaten here many times & have always enjoyed the food. On New Year's eve we made a reservation for 4 at 6:30. Our table was ready when we arrived & we were served our soup & appetizers & then we waited & waited for our main course. At 8:30 (2 hours after our arrival) we began to ask when we might expect to receive our main dishes. We were told that it was very busy & they were trying to serve the customers in the dining area as well as the take out. Shortly after that we said we would pay for what we had eaten & would be leaving. At 8:45 they began to serve our main meal. First, came the rice & vegetables & the plate of vegetables was about half the size we had in the past. By the time the meat portion of the meal arrived, we had either finished the vegetables or they were no longer warm. While we understand that it was a very busy evening, it probably would have been better if they had communicated with us the delay & expectations instead of us having to ask. As well, knowing that it is one of their busiest evenings, they might have considered hiring more staff or reducing the take out orders as it appeared they were struggling to handle both. On our way out another customer was leaving & he was complaining about the service as his experience was similar to ours. Very disappointing &, in all, it was a memorable evening but for all the wrong reasons.

Excellent dinner. Just really long for service. But it was new years eve & the takeout was probably overwhelming the kitchen. Will definitely go back on a quieter night.
Had a sign all week saying they would be open on boxing day. Then we called, no answer just voicemail. No updates online. We go to the restaurant to see & the sign that said the dates that would be open during the holidays was hand written scratched out to say'closed'. Terrible.
Tout simplement un pure délice
Portions généreuses, nous avons rapporté nos restes.
Avons pris le combos pour deux à $58.99 & comme c'est un restaurant apportez votre vin, il est très abordable
I've been going here for a decade & without a doubt, every time it's as good as the last.
Bringing your own wine is always a plus & the staff is friendly & very accommodating.
The food is cooked well (veg tender yet crispy, shrimp cooked properly), but the Thai food is spiced very white. I asked for chilies & got siracha. The double chili had the spice level of ketchup. So good if you don't like spice, disappointing if you are looking for Thai level.
This is strip mall ambience & don't forget to bring your own wine.
