4/5 ⭐

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.

Love this place BUT the portions are too small. Prices have gone up & portions have gone down. A plate of General Tao $20+ is not worth the amount you get on your plate. Getting several dishes…a family of 4 costs an average of $100 - & you don't feel satisfied.
It seems that they cater more to elderly people in the area. If they want their business to boom you need to attract Gen Z, millennials & Gen X - you need to make your portions worth while!

Bon restaurant thailandais! Je recommande le combo pour deux personnes qui permet un bon rapport quantité-prix. J'apprécie le cury rouge au poulet. L'ambiance est tranquile pour le diner , mais le restaurant est souvent plein pour le souper.

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.

Highly recommended!

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).
