We dined here to celebrate our friends birthday. It's such a happy and warm place to dine. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. They even allowed us to bring our own birthday cake which was fantastic. The birthday girl is very picky about cake so thank you for that. That is great including Padthai and panag curry. The patio is really nice and I'll definitely be back. read more

We love Colonial Kitchen. Everything is delicious and beautifully presented. A lovely restaurant with a calm vibe, this pretty space is relaxing and so enjoyable. We haven't ventured onto the patio yet but plan to do so soon, now the weather is cooler. My personal favorite are the drunken noodles. Portions are large, easily enough to share. Full of your choice of protein ( I like the ground chicken) and fresh, crunchy veggies, this dish always pleases. My husband loves their rice dishes, like basil beef and ginger chicken, and we both love their dumplings. Service is professional and understated. Everything is always prepared with the freshest ingredients. I haven't been able to tear myself away from noodles yet, but when I do, I'm going to try one of their highly recommended curry dishes. I love spicy foods and Colonial is happy to oblige. I can handle a lot of heat but their Thai spicy is one level too high for me, so I opt for extra spicy. Spicy-shy diners will be happy as well. read more

I came for an early dinner on a Friday. The place is easy to find next to Target and has lots of free parking beside and behind the building. There is a lovely outdoor patio and an indoor bar area in addition to the main dining room of ten or twelve tables. I was seated immediately at an indoor table. On this occasion I did not try any cocktails, but went directly to the entree. I had the Rama Chicken which turned out to be delicious. A breaded, crispy chicken breast sliced on top of cooked vegetables (zucchini, carrot, cabbage, broccoli) with a thick peanut sauce. A bowl of steamed white rice came on the side. I ate every scrap of food on the dish and was too full for dessert, although I would have loved to try their mango sticky rice or one of the homemade cakes. Next time! Service was quick and attentive. The restaurant was decorated beautifully and in great condition. read more

What a beautiful and elegant restaurant with a friendly and welcoming staff. Me and my girlfriend went here to grab some food rather late on Monday, (Indigenous People Day) and it was kind of slow likely due to the holiday. They were willing to accommodate us, but we just didn't want to sit outside. So we decided to take our food to go. Noy, the lady who was working the front and welcoming guest was so nice and grateful for our business. We ordered and looked over the lunch menu and how affordable everything was. I was really excited to try the Crab Rangoon. As we waited for our food (Shrimp Pad Thai & Chicken Cashew) out comes Noy with our drinks and an order of fresh Crab Rangoon with a house sauce. Literally some of the best I've ever had. Flaky, light, with a textured filling. I could probably eat a dozen of those if I wasn't careful. We sat and chatted with her for a while until the food was prepared. I can't wait to come back and try more of the items on the menu. It was such a pleasant surprise and speaks so highly of the staff's commitment to service and attention to detail. Also, the other dishes were absolutely delicious. We also ordered a Mango Sticky Rice...I've been thinking about it for 72 straight hours! read more

Visiting Colonial because of a highly suggested recommendation from my boss. I was impressed with the professionalism of the staff. They were attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The spring rolls and vegetable fried rice were tasty! The drinks were strong but sooooo good. The dining area was small but chic. They do have a bar away from the dining area that you can order food and drinks. I recommend making a reservation even for lunch. read more

Colonial Kitchen & Bar - Drunkin Noodles with Tofu - Vietnamese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Having traveled to Thailand and Vietnam I guess I was expecting more. The Thai chicken egg rolls were very bland. I was looking forward to the homemade sweet chili sauce but was disappointed. It was watered down applesauce tasting with no heat from chilis at all. Calamari appetizer was heavy handed on breading and felt like it came from the freezer... Fried basil leaves were tasteless... Massaman Curry had the right flavors but looked and tasted flat... carrots were too large and mushy. Clean store and the staff was great! Convenient location with plenty of parking and a beautifully decorated outdoor seating area... read more

I was immediately greeted a seated. The menu was simple, but one served the food was not. I ordered the Tom Kha soup with veggies and Pad See Ew. The soup was loaded with fresh vegetables that were perfectly cooked. This soup was SO flavorful and filling!! I can't wait to try the noodles!! read more

Stopped in for a quick appetizer at the bar while waiting for traffic to die down. The staff were friendly and I really enjoyed the panang gyoza. They had free Wi-Fi and didn't mind me pulling my laptop out to answer a few emails. I would definitely come back here for a full meal when I have more time. read more

I waited a few weeks to submit this review since I got this when I was in a spectacularly bad mood, but even on further reflection, it was just alright. I ordered basil spring rolls , agedashi tofu, vietnamese pho, and a French Gin and Tonic. The drink wasn't bad, but they added fruit that seemed to be mostly for decoration. I didn't pick up much fruit flavor which was a shame. The spring rolls were good, but I'm a sucker for fresh spring rolls. The Agedashi Tofu was not very good. It says crispy, but there was virtually no crunch on them. This is the second time I've tried it (Also at Shoya Izakaya), so I'm inclined to think I just don't like this, rather than Colonial does a poor one. The Pho was good. Non descript, but good. It is meatball and brisket pho by default, so if you're a bit put off by mystery meatballs, this is not as good. I sat at the bar, and I think this was the crux of my complaints. There was one server who was quite attentive to make sure I ordered, but once my Pho came out, it was total silence. Like, there was no one at the bar at all. I don't expect concierge service, but I genuinely could have gone behind the bar and made my own drinks and no one would have noticed. I also wound up finding something that I think was a shard of plastic in my pho. It wasn't particularly conclusive so I didn't bring it up to the staff. All in all, there's nothing Colonial serves that I cannot find elsewhere. I didn't hate my experience, I just don't think I'll be rushing back. read more

We came here on a Friday night to celebrate my friend's birthday. Good thing they are located I. The shopping center and have plenty of parking. As you walk in you are greeted by the beautiful patio. I wish it wasn't so hot that we could sit on the patio. Inside is cute too and we got seated right away. We started with both got lychee martini and they were on a strong side. I couldn't even finish mine, now mind I'm a super light drinker. We got calamari for our starter and they were nice and crispy. I got drunken noodles and it was delicious. And my friend got a noodle dish nd she said that was good as well. Service was a bit slow, but they made up for it with a complimentary mango sticky rice for my friend's birthday. I'll definitely be back read more

This place is usually 5 stars but today was a different story. I feel the quality has gone down. The food is typically incredible and service is great usually but not sure what's happening. I came in and it wasn't busy at all, waited for a while to get seated, waited to get served, waited a while to even close out. I closed out early because the customer service was not good. Waiting, waiting, waiting to get served. Everything and everyone else seemed more important. Two people in the dining room but not much service. I believe I was the only person there at one point and not much attentiveness or level of care. The guy who's usually there has seen me there and I've dined there several times but acts like he's never seen me before. I believe her name is Arisa and she always remembers me and is so hospitable and lending and answering my questions and helping me with recommendations on what to order. Arisa wasn't in the dining room at the time but it shouldn't be incredible customer service from 1 person at the restaurant. I ordered the roti which was very small and then the curry it came with was cold and lukewarm at the same time. It clearly means they microwaved it and I told the lady there and she said she'll warm it up which basically means microwave. It's a restaurant, a very nice sit down restaurant at that. Why are you microwaving my food? That along with the poor customer service instantly turned me off. So, I closed out. Not to mention, there was no one at the bar. I was waiting and waiting and had to call the guy down to help me. Ridiculous! They were running around doing stuff but it was basically empty. It wasn't busy nor was it full and I felt neglected. It's a shame because the food, vibes, and customer service are usually incredible. It's also some of the best Thai food I've had and that's coming from trying incredible Thai food in California. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this place anymore. I hope they improve these issues. read more

We came here on one rainy day in January 2024. I made reservations on google and we didn't really need them but I would still recommend making some if you are going on a popular night as the place is really small. They have a well-rounded menu, something for everyone, including cocktails. We ordered steamed gyoza, steamed dumplings, scallops and shaking beef. They also have brown rice. Everything was good, with gyoza being my least favorite. I highly recommend mango sticky pudding for dessert! Overall: decent service, plenty of parking, full bar, nice patio. read more

I've frequented this area a ton but for some reason this place flew under my radar until very recently . Ordered a few things to go . The restaurant is very quant with a very cute outdoor patio option. Though it looked like a very busy evening the waitress / host were very kind and attentive. Everyone that walked passed me acknowledged me which was appreciated. The Shirley Temple was the perfect to go drink . The Crab Rangoon was very good I love that they served it with a duck sauce . I really dislike when it's served with sweet& sour . The Tom Kha Chicken was perfect def top 3 I love the type of mushrooms they used and it was perfect in flavor . I'd prob request a chili oil in the future to add a bit of kick to it . Parking lot is somewhat small but it's connected to a shopping center with a huge parking lot on the other side . read more

Amazing food! Every single thing we had was delicious, from the appetizer to the mains to the desserts. I loved my pad see ew, the flavor was sweet and savory and complex all at the same time. My drink was also refreshing and VERY strong--one was definitely enough. I loved the artwork and live plants inside the restaurant, and on another occasion I would definitely return to sit on the beautiful patio. I docked one star since service was incredibly slow (they didn't seem that busy so I'm not sure what happened, but our server came over to apologize about it twice so it definitely wasn't my imagination). The delightful food made up for it, though, and I still plan to return. read more

This Thai and Vietnamese restaurant located in the Sandy Springs area of Atlanta offers a nice selection to choose from. They have seating indoors, outdoors or at the bar.

If i lived in the area, this would be my GO TO Thai spot. The restaurant is clean, inviting, and the ambiance is spot on for dinner. I came for a late dinner after i landed, exhausted. I had the Tom Kha soup with chicken and the Pad See Ew with chicken. LET ME TELL YOU!!!! The flavors in the soup made like a dance in my mouth. Every bite i took i couldn't believe how delicious it was and that i got to eat this! After a long day of travel, a perfect meal can really change your day. This was it for me-- the pad see ew was packed with flavor and rich Thai flavors. I enjoyed half at the restaurant and took the other half to the hotel just so i can enjoy it again. 10/10 you'll love the food-- can't wait to check this place out again!! read more

Has a later meeting and decided to check out Colonial Kitchen. Sat at the bar. Started with the basil roll which was fresh and the has a nice peanut sauce. I also tried the Tom Yum Shrimp which is very flavorful. The broth is very good. and not overly spicy. For the entree I had the Colonial Viet Bun. It seems more like a deconstructed fish with the salad, vermicelli and a slab of pork chop and 2 shrimps. The sauce is a peanut sauce that needs to be poured. The pork is well made and I enjoyed the charred texture. I also had the mango sticky rice which is good. I like the sesame seed that they added. The rice is a perfect consistency and the coconut sauce isn't too thick or sweet. I also had the lychee martini which is good but a bit strong. I didn't mind it. Overall a good restaurant. I will return. read more

I knew that you the food would be good because when I walked the food smelled amazing. I started with coconut shrimp & edamame which I enjoyed but the star of the show well at least I thought it was the star until I ordered the dessert but anyway before I get off on a tangent the fried grouper w/ ginger sauce was delicious Now let's get to this dessert lol!! I sat on at the table going back and forth about ordering this but when she said that it was homemade I was sold!!! Sooo y'all I ordered the coconut cake and it was phenomenal you hear me. They also had the freshest berries for garnish and an amazing berry purée drizzled across the cake. Super glad I found this place and decided to drop by. I will definitely be visiting this place again when I'm in town next time read more

It was a busy Friday night in town, and everywhere was on a long wait. We pulled in here because there were almost no cars. A risk, I know. Vietnamese? Yes. French? I don't see how. Pretty? Yes!!!! Tasty? Um, yeah. Noisy? Oddly, the kitchen behind a wall was kind of loud, but not the diners. The vibes were romantic and cozy. The dumplings were good, not anything spectacular, but the pickled veg and ginger sauce were nice. The curry was not too mild and not too spicy. The steak frites was fine but one note. We were pretty happy with the ambiance and the food, but it was overpriced and, on the whole, lacking the depth/complexity of flavors I've come to expect from these dishes at other places. I had a nice night out, but honestly, I'll probably make reservations elsewhere next time I'm in the area. But this would be a good place to sit and talk and maybe try something new. read more

Hidden gem! Been here twice, and super happy with the food and service both times. The first time was during a weekday lunch. They have great lunch specials -- decent prices with big portions! There was one guy hosting and waiting on all the tables, and we never once were waiting on him to come by. Super impressive service! The second time we dined at the bar for dinner on the weekend. It was really busy inside. The same guy was the waiter for the entire dining room, and the bartender was also helping out everywhere. Our wait was quite long this time during each step of the process, but they were hustling. Did I mention the food is fantastic?? I had the panang curry the first time, and drunken noodles the second. Wow, wow, wow. My date also loved her crab fried rice. The setup and decor is nice. Definitely a date night spot or chill lunch or dinner. TVs at the bar! This is going in my rotation. read more

The service here was great! Portion size was excellent and the prices are very competitive and lower than other Thai places. Thai tea was my favorite. The tom kha gai soup was pretty good, although slightly sweeter than I expected. The beef salad was lacking in the flavor department but I was happy they were able to accommodate my personal spiciness level. Overall, great restaurant! read more

This review is for my first indoor dining in Atlanta post psycho virus in July. 285 CK has been bookmarked for over a year so I was looking forward to this visit. = Ambiance is a pleasant neighborhood resto with a decent size patio at Prado, an ITP Sandy Springs shopping center. We went at little after 5pm when they opened to minimize our Covid risk. Due to the rain earlier in the day, we couldn't sit outside with wet cushions. We were seated immediately to our preference and only one other table was occupied. Their staff wore masks and the menu is by QR code. One oversight is that their tables / seating are NOT 6 feet a part and they allow customers to sit anywhere! This later caused some consternation as a couple not wearing masks sat right next to us while there were 8 other tables further away from us! = Foodwise, 285 CK offers Vietnamese fusion. We had come here for pho without trekking to BuHi. I opted for their brisket and filet medium bowl and my friend opted for their brisket medium bowl. As customary, they provide a separate plate of fresh accoutrements of veggies. In addition, they provide individual sriracha and hoisen sauces for each person. Their broth was phenomenally rich and smooth! Other than one odd thing, their choppy noodles ....like only 2-3 inches... all broken, their pho was delicious! We left satisfied and planned to revisit. Unfortunately, I experienced telltale of MSG... cotton mouth and extreme thirst for several hours after pho. My friend too had the same symptoms and a mild headache as well. Deduction is that they used excessive MSG! + Service was friendly and prompt. The waiter checked in on us soon after the food presentation. = Price is slightly higher given their location and service. ++ Parking is free and shared with other shops. In time, in post Covid safe world, 285 CK may be worth a revisit and they may even be well suited for business meals as they were smart enough to use black cloth napkins. But for now, I have no desire to experience water logging and feeling unsafe in a city where 2 out of 3 people are unvaccinated. MY RATINGS - - - Inhumane - - Disgusted - Don't bother = Missed the Mark + Good ++ Better +++ EDIBLE...WHERE have you been all my LiFe! read more

Colonial Kitchen & Bar - COLONIAL FRIED RICE (GF) - Vietnamese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

A charming little spot that comes highly recommended for authentic Thai cuisine. The food is undeniably good, with bold flavors, great taste, and generous portions. It truly delivers on the authenticity front, making it a great choice for those craving a solid Thai meal. However, not everything was perfect. The tiger shrimp fried rice was a bit of a letdown--essentially a tasty egg fried rice with just one tiny shrimp on top. Given the expectations set by the rest of the menu, this was disappointing. Overall, it was a reasonably decent experience. While I enjoyed the meal, nothing stood out enough to make me eager to return. If you're in the area and craving Thai food, it's worth a visit--but manage your expectations on certain dishes. read more
