This place is a hidden gem!!!! The food was absolutely fantastic. From the coconut chicken soup to the sushi to the chicken curry. We at here a couple years ago and we thought it was good but apparently they have new owners and the place is now to die for. We have gone back twice in 6 days. The sushi was very fresh and nicely prepared and the Thai portions were large. I am so in love with this place!!! Also, the dining area is very cozy!! read more

Outstanding food and personal service. The restaurant could use a facelift. Will definitely return.

Emerald Thai restaurant was always very good for years until they changed the ownership in the last few years. The professionalism has definitely gone downhill and the service, not to mention the ordering on the phone. the original owner, the prices were less and the quantity was more, and the service was much better. I do not recommend them anymore After all the years living in this area I've used them. I'm so disappointed in the new owners I can't even describe it! read more

For an "out of towner", a bit tricky to find, but worth the 7-minute GPS snafu. A gem that looks "seedy" on the outside, but perfectly reasonable in the inside. read more

Emerald Thai Restaurant - Inside looking out. - Thai Near Me - Davie, Florida

See all

Just absolutely delicious. I ordered the combo fried rice. The spice was just right and the shrimp was luscious. Finally a Thai restaurant that is consistent and door dash delivered burning hot. read more

New ownership since about 6 months or so ago. Great quality. Favs are pad see ew, panang curry. Massaman curry, Tom kha soup, salad with ginger dressing, basil eggplant were also pretty good. Ask for everything mild unless you really like a kick. Ask for extra veggies. Tofu is a yummy option. Haven't loved the non-veg (tastes like the meat is just popped in the curry/soup vs having it stewed with the liquid). Get the peanut sauce on the side. read more

Delicious. I always come here for lunch at least once a month because of the salad bar. The peanut dressing is delicious and the crispy wontons as well.. I go back & forth from the shrimp pad Thai & chicken with vegetables and they are always good. read more

Despite being in a strip mall off SR 84, the service and food are absolutely great. I did have an issue with the radio playing AND the Spanish TV on (with volume). I suggest they turn one (or both) off. Can't anyone dine in quiet anymore? The Thai iced tea was well made; rich and creamy. We started with the Tom Yom Goong (shrimp soup in broth), which was spicy and richly flavored. We ordered both the green curry and the massaman curry; both excellent, but similar enough that we should have only chosen one. Overall, a great, casual place for above average Thai food. read more

Too long of a wait at a nearby spot so we popped into Emerald Thai in Davie. Our first visit. Everything we ordered was scrumptious! So much flavor and perfectly cooked. The service was amazing. We had Tom Kha Soup, sushi appetizer, a panang curry and basil sauce chicken. so so good. Found our favorite Thai place. read more

Really tasty food, and wonderful service! Hong took really good care of us, he was very attentive and efficient. We will be back for sure The curry was to die for read more

Went here on a recommendation, the outside looked very sketchy and not my typical place I'd go to eat, but was surprised by the deliciousness and quantity of food that was delivered to my table. I've since been back multiple times and ordered take out. If you drive too fast you'll miss it.! All I suggest is better signage, otherwise yum!! :) read more

The food is really really good. Probably best Thai food i've ever had. The quality is good, but the prices are a bit high. I guess you get what you pay for. Come try the pad thai or any of the curries. They're all GOOD. Also they have the best Thai tea boba. love, Bao Eat on my Friends! read more

So far, not so good. Just had the 'crispy spring rolls'. More like egg rolls, not the quality of wonderful spring rolls I've come to expect from Thai restaurants. The sauce was low quality as well. Still waiting on main course, been 20 mins since placing order. It's the standard Pad Thai. And it's a strike out. I've never seen it made with the wider wet noodles. Just a heavy wet mess on my plate. Eatable but they can do much better. The staff is nice & they were busy. Price was inexpensive, accordingly. If you want inexpensive Thai food this is your place if u just want to get full & quality is unimportant read more

It was ok. I wasn't blown away, but it wasn't bad. The soup, salad thing was empty most of the time. They filled it but was mostly lettuce. It's a nice concept they have a make your own salad bar, just needed to be maintained a little better. Food was decent. Menu seemed lacking some Thai dishes. Not the best Thai food I've had, but not bad either. Portions were kinda small for the price. Still better than some Thai places in the area. I'd go back. read more

First off, chris H is obviously an idiot. 3 stars but the food was excellent because the strip mall doesn't fit your need for glamorous appearance? Give me a break....BRO...... Anyways, this little hole in the wall has been here a while. The wait staff even when outnumbered is always attentive, in a good mood, and do the best they can in serving you. The food is always great especially the curries. Only advice I would give, as with any eating establishment that doesn't buy sauces / seasoning pre-made from the store, depending on who prepped the sauce/seasoning that day, the spiciness you order one time might not be the same the next. This place speaks for itself, if your reading this, live nearby, and are craving great thai food, this is the spot to be. read more

I have been coming to this place for years it has to be the best curry I've ever tasted all of the choices are to die for but I personally love the panang curry. Also you have to get the fried rice they actually give you large pieces of meat instead of measly pieces of chopped meat. One of the best things about this place is that its so secluded that there's hardly people there so my husband jokes about renting out the restaurant just for us:) read more

So my husband and I eat out frequently and I read about this place by several people on the Cooper City Facebook page. We have our new Thai restaurant! Hong the new owner (for the past year) came over to see if we enjoyed our meals and we told him why we did:-) Super fresh ingredients and loads of good flavor! Very nicely done chicken in my mixed vegetables in brown sauce, and my hubby raves this was the best Red Curry he has ever had. Highly suggest giving this little place next to Billy's Tavern off I 595 a try for lunch or dinner. You can thank me when you're done:-)!! read more

Went there for a late lunch. No one else was there, but that's just crazy. The food was unbelievably good and very well-priced. The servers were very kind and helpful. The massaman curry was the best I have ever had. Tons of cashews, lots of avocado and tofu. They did not skimp on the good ingredients. Fantastic little place. read more

This restaurant is among the best Thai restaurants anywhere! It's a small unassuming place in a strip mall but the food is so good and service is great. Family owned and clearly cannot say enough about it. I live in Miami Beach and drive up to eat there! read more

Sad to say this, but Yelp has failed me. I came here for dinner with my sister. She was visiting from out of state and had a hankering for Thai food, so we used our trusty Yelp app to find a good, local restaurant. I should have taken the more recent reviews to heart. People have said in their reviews that this restaurant switched owners, and during my dining experience it was confirmed by our server. I never dined here when the former owners were around so I can't judge on how the restaurant used to be, but I am thoroughly disappointed with this establishment based on my recent experience. First, they need to update their menus. If you change ownership and don't provide the same food or drinks, please make the effort to update your offerings. My sister and I saw a Thai milkshake being offered on the drink menu and inquired about. Our server very rudely replied that she had never heard of that and doesn't know what it is. I then pointed it out on their menu, clear as day, and she stormed off saying she'll ask the owner about it. I thought she would ask about the drink quietly, but she was basically telling her inquiries to the owner, who replied back to her in the same manner. That to me is a major no no. You don't blast your questions so loudly that all the guests in the restaurant can hear you. Where did you learn your customer service skills? Rude. But we did find out during the yelling escapades that the new owner did not even know what the Thai milkshake was and that the menu was old and was from the previous owner. Second, the food. Oh, the nasty, diabetes-causing food. I would like to say that I've had my fair share of Thai cuisine and know a lot about the food. And I will tell you that the food served here is utterly disgusting. Why is everything made so ridiculously sweet!? My sister and I ordered the Mee Krob appetizer. It's basically crispy rice noodles with shrimp and bean sprouts tossed in a sweet/spicy sauce. But OMG, it was overly sweet. You couldn't taste any of the other flavors that was supposed to compliment the dish like the shrimp or citrus. I had a few bites thinking it'll grow on me, but in the end, I had to push it away. Eww. My sister and I ordered their Pad See Ew with shrimp and their Emerald Crispy Duck Curry (basically duck green curry). Both were very disappointing too. The Pad See Ew had overcooked flat noodles, so the texture was too mushy. Again, it was too sweet, and it lacked the veggies I was expecting with the dish. The shrimp was tough and did not taste fresh at all. The duck curry was the worst I've ever had. It lacked sauce (I mean, there was barely enough curry to spoon over our rice), had undercooked eggplants (which I normally don't see thrown into a duck curry dish), and had a meager amount of carrots and zucchini and other vegetables. The duck was fine, but that was the only thing they got right. The curry lacked curry flavor. Had not enough coconut milk and again, was way too sweet to be enjoyable. Worst Thai meal ever. Our server asked my sister and I if we wanted dessert, but after all the sugar we consumed from the appetizer and entrees, we politely declined. We packed up the food to go, but I honestly just wanted to leave it there, but the whole disappointing meal cost over $40 and it was money we were too sad to see wasted. Overall the worst Thai meal I've had to date. Will definitely not come back here and would not recommend this restaurant even to my enemies to dine at. Please just say no and walk away! read more

So... I was driving by this place and thought I'd see if perhaps things had improved. Well, very happy to report that I just had lunch here and it was perfection. The soup and salad that comes with lunch was lovely. I ordered green curry with vegetables and it was sooooo good, as good as I remember. It seems although the owners stayed the same, someone else was in charge of this location. That is no longer the case and Emerald Thai is back! Can't wait to come again when the craving for Thai food hits me. Thanks for a lovely lunch :-) Yumm! read more

We love this place. Excellent food. Not much to look at on the outside but really clean on the inside. The staff is always nice and helpful. Reasonably priced. We will be regulars! read more

BEST VEGGIE TOFU PAD THAI ON THE PLANET!!! I've tried pad thai all over the country and nothing comes close to Emerald's. VERY VERY VERY friendly staff, great atmosphere. Totally in love with Emerald thai. Wish they wouldn't put cream in their peanut dressing. read more

Second time going to this restaurant. The vegetable fried rice was outstanding. My husband and I agreed it's the best we have had. The food generally was great! Loved it ! read more

Excellent Thai. My daughter had the Volcano Chicken and I had the Panang Curry Beef. Both were delicious and comes with white rice. We enjoyed Thai doughnuts for desert. This without a doubt is a hidden place in Davie that I will be back too. read more

Have NO IDEA what this place is doing! They used to be GREAT. They continue to make changes to become more mediocre. The lunch menu is now so BLAND and not imaginative. People go to a Thai restaurant to experience something different, exciting and FRESH! We want BOLD flavors and twists on the normal. Not just a cheap lunch with a lot of food. Go back to the drawing board before you go out of business. Clean up the restaurant. It looks kind of dingy. Recreate something special with sauces and a great menu. My lunch was so bland, with no texture or spice. The sauce was heavy and not developed. The soup at the salad bar tasted like hospital food. The fried aps at the salad bar were cold and soggy. They used to come out hot and crunchy every 20 minutes. The soup used to have a lot of ginger and spice and a rice-like porage. They used to have salt, pepper, chili oil and cold salad dressing in a closed container, all of that is now gone and there is an open bowl of warm dressing... YIKES! This place used to be PACKED at lunch and dinner and now, it is a ghost town. :( read more

It is hidden away on SR 84 and I ordered for takeaway. The pad thai was tasty and the spring rolls were good. It was ready in a decnt amount of time and perfect portion. read more

I'm usually not impressed with the food here. I typically eat here because my wife wants to. This evening I was impressed! The Miso Soup was more flavorful. The Panang Curry Chicken was very good! My wife asked if they changed cooks. We learned that they changed cooks and are under new ownership. In the next few days they will be serving sushi. I'll now gladly return! read more

I went there for my birthday and loved it! My favorite thing to eat when I went to Thailand was the papaya salad. I haven't been able to find it at other Thai restaurants, but they had it here! I enjoyed every shred of papaya down to the last bite! read more

Best lunch special in town. For $8 you get unlimited soup and salad and an entree. Pad Thai and basil chicken are my favorites.

Emerald Thai is really one of the best Thai food restaurants i have ever been to. I ordered the chicken satay which was moist, hot, and grilled to perfection. The peanut sauce was the perfect consistency. My entree was the chicken panang and what made the panang different from other Thai food places was that it was spicy enough to make it fun to eat but not too spicy where i couldnt taste the actual curries. The prices are reasonable and i believe that they have lunch specials as well. The restaurant was somewhat of a struggle to find but its worth it. The staff are very friendly and courteous and i would highly reccomend anyone try this place out! read more

Had dinner here and can't say enough about the chicken pad thai- amazing! Large portion yielded leftovers for next day's lunch. The prices are fair for the quality and portion size. Also had the spicy shrimp soup and that was really good. The owners are nice and the wife is from Thailand so be assured this spot is authentic! read more

Ordered a salmon sashimi from them, fish was previously frozen, still had ice crystals by the time I returned home. It was falling apart and had no taste. Outrageous, you don't make sashimi from frozen fish, waste of money read more

We live just off the road from this place and has only dined there once and will probably never return except for lunch,which a good friend always rave about.Prices are a little on the higher range compared to most Thai restaurants around the area but service was prompt and fast despite us not enjoying the food. read more

During my dining experience here it was one to remember. I had the emerald fried rice......and all I can say is that it was truly amazing!!!! The portion size was quite large but I couldnt seem to put my fork down. My wife had the red curry and from the expression on her face and empty bowl at the end of her meal I knew she loved it. The only thing I didnt like was the Thai tea but I guess thats just an aquired taste. But overall it was a great experience. #iwillbeback read more

I ordered the red curry with chicken, it wasn't spicy at all but still delicious. My friend ordered a fried rice with shrimp but mistakenly was given something else. The order was fixed quickly and without issue. Our server, Get, was very prompt, attentive and cute. I recommend this place for delicious Thai food. read more

Really good Thai food - the Massaman curry and Drunken noodles are so flavorful. Some of the best Thai food I've had - even delivered it is great. Leftovers, if you have any, are also fantastic. read more

Another neighborhood find. This restaurant came highly recommended from a friend. We came in it's nothing fancy but the food was fabulous. I ordered the green curry tofu & my friend ordered the red curry tofu both dishes were full of flavor with just the right amount of spice. I got a 2 she got a 3 I like it spicy & it was perfect! The portions are generous & they were quite attentive. read more

Went there to have some dinner with friends. The table was clean and service was prompt. Had the sweet and sour chicken wok myway and it was delicious! With reasonable prices, I'll definitely be going there again. read more

Emerald Thai Restaurant - Sweet and sour chicken. Super delicious! - Thai Near Me - Davie, Florida

Having been a loyal previous customer, I purchased a Groupon to share with my Team. Upon arrival, we were advised it was only good for dinner; which was not stated when I made the purchase. Was then further advised that even if I bought a dinner, the remainder would not be applied to the bill. This conversation took place at the front desk. My party of 5 sat patiently waiting for service which never arrived. After 15 minutes, we left & went to Billy's where we were immediately served. What should have been an excellent Groupon experience turned out to be a horrible experience. I will be asking for a refund of my Groupon and not returning to Emerald Thai. There are many other places with excellent Thai food to have lunch. read more
