De nombreux clients apprécient la fraîcheur et les saveurs des plats thaïlandais, notamment les currys et les dumplings, tout en profitant de la formule apportez votre vin.

Just came back from that restaurant.......We were a group of 18.....It is not the place for a group......Reservation at 6h00pm main course served at 7h50pm......CCould not talk to a server they were all over.......8h50 pm I think it's the owner came to the tables & wanted us to pay.......No time for a tea or somekind of dessert.....Not offer for a tea & wanting to het paid already, it never, but never happened to me before......We were a group of seniors. A very rude restaurant. If you do nor want a group of 18, just don't accept it............Very, very bad & rude experience....Food was ok..But the service 0000 ....Atmosphere is like a buffet style....
As you read many of my other reviews you will see that I rarely dislike Asian restaurants. Well, sorry to say, even though this place was highly recommended. I tend not to agree.
When we entered the restaurant, it was full. Usually when a restaurant is so busy the food is really good. Right?
Maybe I'm too picky & used to eating flavor packed food.
We ordered the Combo Build Your Way menu.
Included are 2 soups, 2 appetizers, 2 main dishes, 1 vegetable & 2 steamed rice. What a great deal.
We ordered 2 Hot & Sour soups which did not come to our table hot, so both were returned. Once they came back they were a bit warmer but still not hot. If you can get it hot, the soup was very tasty & not spicy.
For our appetizers we ordered the Peanut Butter Dumplings & Fried Calamari. The dumplings were delicious, I wanted more, but the Calamari was overly battered & greasy.
Our mains were Orange Beef & a Red Curry Chicken & the vegetable dish was the Basil Tofu with Mixed Vegetables.
The beef was tender but heavily batter in a sweet sticky sauce but no orange flavor & not spicy. There were 2 tiny slivers of orange peel in the sauce.
The Basil Tofu vegetables were tasteless but did contain a very nice variety of veggies. It needed a kick. It was supposed to be spicy but it was not at all.
The Red Curry Chicken, onbtje other hand, was very flavorful & a bit spicy. The Curry with coconut milk helped enhance the flavor & give it a bit of kick. Very good.
All in all, if the food would have been hotter instead of just warm, it may have been more enjoyable. I don't appreciate going to any restaurant & having to complain & return the food. Yes, sure it was a Saturday night, & they were busy, but really. Staff was sufficient but they didn't even approach us & ask if all was ok.
Would I recommend this place? No
Will I go back? Probably not.
Sono stato in questo ristorante ed ho ordinato dei Szechuan Shrimps. Volevo anche una semplice insalata verde... cosa impossibile non essendo compresa nel menù, ho quindi optato per una mezza porzione e di un'altra insalata di cui non ero molto convinto ma che si è rivelata molto buona. La cosa che mi ha dato fastidio è stata che il cameriere che ha preso l'ordine è stato molto sbrigativo e a tratti un po' scorbutico.
Sembrava molto sorpreso che non avessi ordinato del riso, so che è la base della cucina orientale, ma non mi andava di prenderlo.
Il piatto di gamberetti è risultato anch'esso molto gustoso.
Una cosa negativa è il fatto che non vendono vino. È vero che serve una licenza a parte ma cavolo siete un bel ristorante potete prenderla la licenza per gli alcolici.
L'ambiente è molto carino e accogliente e il resto della clientela molto buono.
Il prezzo è risultato buono per il livello del cibo e dell'ambiente.
Potrebbe avere molte potenzialità
Visited Restaurant Emeraude de Bangkok with a group of 5. The restaurant was completely full, which explains the longer wait times at the entrance & for the food. Part of the staff was also coming back from vacation, so the team was clearly very busy, but they stayed polite & professional the whole time.
Once seated, the experience was good overall. The food was fresh, flavorful, & the portions were satisfying. The atmosphere was lively & you could tell the place is popular for a reason.
If you're patient & not in a rush, it's still a solid place to enjoy Thai food with family or friends.
Restaurant familial. Le personnel est peu souriant & brusque avec les client.
Les serveurs ne comprennent & ne parlent pas un minimum de français & l'anglais est limité. Nous avons partagé des plats dont le plat de boeuf échalotes & gingembre. Dans ce plat, il y avait exactement 4 tiges d'oignons verts, une tonne d'oignon & le goût de gingembre était à peine perceptible.
Surprenant que le restaurant soit rempli!
Ridiculous Management can't be bothered to update their hours online & say they are closed came for nothing. Just a sign at the door when you show up. Won't make the trip back for lack of respect.
