No doubt this corner gem is a 5 star. Highly recommended by this Navy vet whom has plenty experience in Thai foods. We were treated like highly valued customers Thank you read more

I am completely shocked this place has such good reviews. I'm a bit worried not a single one of these folks have tastebuds. This is some of the worst Asian fusion we have ever had. The waitstaff was very kind- that's the only highlight. The shrimp were rubber- and they put everything on skewars which is weird. It's like the shrimp fully evaded any salt and pepper. Got the pad see ew which was super mushy. Their mango salmon and shrimp was insanely overcooked. But the sauce it was in was flavorless and oily. My husband eats everything and would not finish it because it was so bad. Their purple rice was the mushiest thing ever. I have never seen an Asian restaurant that can't make rice. Like that's the bare minimum -Asian folks are rolling in their graves over how bad that is. They have zero kid options- so one kid got the crispy chicken fried rice which was also so bland and mushy but had pockets of strong ginger and soy taste but not well distributed- the chef has zero knife skills- half of the scallions were huge and half were cut right. The chicken was also cut weird. Like half in super thin strips and half in giant chunks. Son's chicken pho was 100% star anise. It was the only flavor in there. The chicken was all fatty and flubby. The decor was even more strange. They were simultaneously decorated for valentines, Christmas, Thanksgiving and had weird Asian "pillows" Wrapped in plastic. I literally would eat anywhere else before ever coming back here The waitress was nice enough to take the pad see ew and rubber shrimp off our bill- but I'd pay to never ever eat that food again as long as I live. Please do not be fooled by the reviews which feel like they are written by bots. This was SO bad. Abort mission- eat anywhere else. read more

The service here was awesome--I really appreciated how all the servers work together as a team. It makes the whole experience so efficient and smooth. The ambiance is nice and relaxed, just a simple, classic Asian restaurant style without being over the top. As for the food, everything hit the mark. The Beef Pad Thai was delicious and actually had the perfect amount of beef (which is rare to find). The Pho was perfectly spicy right out of the bowl, and the House Fried Rice was hands down the best I've had. The absolute star of the show, though, was the Fried Ice Cream. It's such a simple dessert, but they make it too good. Highly recommend saving room for it! read more

Food: 3.5 Service: 5 Ambience: 4 Overall: 4 Thai restaurant Order: Drunken Noodle and Rad Na Crowd: 3/4 occupied Nicely decorated restaurant with booths lining the wall and windows and tables in the middle. The Drunken Noodle had very little heat to it and chicken wasn't too tender. Rad Na was a try-something-different attempt... and it was different. More like a soup than what the server explained. It was good but the combination of protein was a little overwhelming. Service was excellent and very accommodating. Overall, I'd recommend them but maybe go with traditional dishes at first read more

Eem Boone - 8/1/2025-menu - Asian Fusion Near Me - Boone, North Carolina

Amazing restaurant! Would recommend 100% Food here is amazing. I've been here five times ordered different items and each time it's fantastic. I have ordered in restaurant and to go and both are equally good. It is an extremely good value for the price. The restaurant is clean and casually decorated. The service is fantastic my drink never goes empty my food is served hot and fresh. The appetizers and the meal are spaced out well. Hidden gem read more

Eem Boone - Red curry with chicken - Asian Fusion Near Me - Boone, North Carolina

Service and atmosphere are both good. The food is great. The basil, fried rice with pork belly is one of the best dishes I've ever eaten. It's hard to try anything new. My best recommendation for this place. read more

This is the new 'sister' restaurant of Sabeing, which has been downtown Boone for several years. It is a different menu and even though I like it, I prefer Sabeing. But Eem is a Three Wood drive from my house so it is a good option when I want some fresh rolls a noodle dish with tofu. read more

Eem Boone - Pad Thai with Tofu - Asian Fusion Near Me - Boone, North Carolina

We have ordered take out from there several times and it is always good. Drunkin Noodles, Duck Breast, Eem curry with tofu are some of our favorites. read more

Lovely place, fresh, wonderful food! Definitely recommend! I love the Singapore noodle dish and the ginger dish with rice. read more

I want to give 2 stars, but don't want to hurt the business, which has awesome servers and what looked like a lovely atmosphere. I was just sorely disappointed with the food. I came to Boone on business and was starving for a good dinner, and Eem just didn't hit the spot. Fresh rolls--2/5, large but mostly packed with dry cabbage. No flavor. The sauce was not good, tasted like oyster sauce with peanuts in it. Drunken noodle--2/5, maybe even lower. No flavor, no spice, overcooked noodles and broccoli. The tofu tasted sour. Also want to note that I don't mind too much, but as a vegetarian, it always sucks a little to find a piece of meat in your meal. read more

The best Asian food in the high country...and it's not even close. Their spicy beef Pad Thai is just perfect.

FIVE QUESTIONABLE STARS!?!? The service at this place will make you ask yourself if you just stepped into the twilight zone BUT it was the best duck of my life!! Don't get me wrong, the service was not bad just frankly absolutely bizarre. I also highly recommend the vegetable dumplings & house fried rice. Our server was just giving all the energy of a newborn mongoose that was body swapped (freaky Friday style) into a "server" that has never heard of Coca-Cola. There was a controlled fire in the bathroom, but frankly, I did not care because the duck was so buttery & delicious. read more

Best Thai we've had so far in Boone. Convenient location. Red curry and drunken noodles spectacular. Veggie rolls and avocado salad fresh. All portions bountiful. My offspring will be eating the delights found here for centuries to come!i read more

Great atmosphere food and service So happy to enjoy the best in house service Thai since their other location went takeout only on King St. in Boone since Covid. The crispy chicken drunken noodle is the best. The beef Pho was great. read more

Best Asian food in Boone from what I can find. I stay in Boone for a week every summer and have tried and tried. Eem Boone was new this summer and they helped me get through the week. When you're Asian, you really need some good authentic food every few days!! Pad See Ew was great, basil fried rice is great and I'm going to try more tonight!! read more

Wow oh wow!!! I had been craving fresh rolls for a while and had a feeling Eem could satisfy such a craving. Boy was I right!! They were so fresh and the peanut hoisin sauce was on par!! I also had the vegetable house friend rice and the rice was perfectly caramelized with the soy sauce. Lovely soft jazz, delicate lighting and fantastic service made this the perfect friday night meal. read more

We ordered takeout and the portions were nice however the flavor of the food was not the best. It was fresh but not much flavor. During pickup, the staff were all friendly and the restaurant looked clean. read more

Delicious, fresh, and authentic. Went here with my husband, and it took us into the Ingles...it is 2 doors over to the left, on the corner of the building hehe. But wow the food was awesome. It was also very clean and the walk to the bathrooms as well as the bathrooms smelt incredible! Over all, it was an excellent experience. read more

The food was great and the service was really good too! Fae was very amicable. I was very impressed with the food, it was very traditional and some of the best I've had in a longgg time as a avid traveler. read more

Incredibly surprised and impressed with this restaurant! We were vacationing for the weekend and looking for takeout that wasn't too long of a drive. This was one of few places where we could order online - much appreciated - and had good reviews, so we gave it a shot. It is in an unassuming strip mall but convenient because we needed some things from the grocery and pet store while we were out. We ordered what we thought were safe bets - fresh roll, shumai, chive pancake, and pad thai. Looked pretty standard as we were opening the containers, but as soon as we took a bite we both noticed the quality. The fresh roll really was loaded with fresh vegetables with a yummy peanut sauce, the shrimp shumai was good as expected, can't really describe the chive pancake (not what I expected from other scallions pancakes) but we enjoyed it nonetheless. The winner was the pad Thai - we got regular with tofu and spicy with chicken. We were initially disappointed that we didn't have sriracha to go with it but quickly discovered that we didn't need it. It was SO flavorful, using sriracha would have masked it, and I'm so glad we got to experience the quality. It had the right balance of noodles/veggies/protein - lots of egg, thank you! Most impressive was how it actually seemed freshly prepared - not overly sticky or clumping together and not at all greasy which was a huge differentiator. We've had plenty of pad Thai from plenty of restaurants over the years (they are all generally the same and some are just gross) but we couldn't stop commenting on how this is easily the best flavor and quality we have ever had from a comparable restaurant. We ate every bite (never happens since you can only eat so much of the same one-note dish!) and didn't feel at all heavy or bloated from it. Thank you for a great meal! Will definitely return on our next trip and try more! read more

Some of the food was tasty, but the dumplings and shrimp appetizers were cold, the beef stew was cold and not good. Additionally we found the service bizarre and lacking. Three different people asked if they could take our order, we had to ask/remind them to bring the tea we requested, and one of the dishes came out a full five minutes after the other meals. And the place was half empty read more

The best fresh and most flavorful food in an awesome location on my side of town. And prices aren't bad. What's not to love.

Love the drunken noodle chicken! Great customer service. Nice place to sit down and enjoy a meal, or they have fast pick up times.

Outstanding all around!! Food was absolutely delicious and service was top notch. And such a cute place. This will be our new go to....it was also very fast. read more

We planned to drive an hour to Boone and decided after looking at restaurants there to try this place. We have eaten at MANY asian restaurants over the years (we are 60-somethings). This place is a dream come true. We will make the drive many times in the future. The Tomyum and Tomkha soups were amazing to start. The curry and fish was fabulous. IDK what to say, but I have not been so happy with a restaurant since we ate at a REAL Korean place in Fayetteville in 1988! That's a long wait!!! read more

Such a cute place!!! The waitress was very friendly and helpful with the menu! I had the EEM curry with tofu and my husband had the EEM curry with chicken. We are already planning on going again next weekend. Delicious food!!! read more

Very good food at very reasonable prices. Also, easy location and parking. Tom yum soap was very memorable, as was the shumai. Decent portions too. read more
