Food is to die for! We came on open mic night! Fun atmosphere, quick service, and quick food turn around. Probably one of the best Thai restaurants I’ve been to! Recommend trying their specials on the specials menu! We got the Hat Yai chicken!

Really enjoy the lunch buffet but need to get there by 1:00 otherwise you may not get all the options. They seem to stop putting fresh food out after 1. Staff is friendly and attentive.

Great food. It was rich and delicious. Reasonable portions - Big but not huge. The live music was pretty good considering the price.

I love Emerald of Siam- they keep a fun live music vibe in Richland as well as have great food and drinks. It's a excellent small music venue, with a wide variety of shows to enjoy pretty much all month. Recently the Taylor parties were fabulous, as well as the Elvis impersonator. Love the food, especially that they have a vegan Thai menu. So it's very accommodating for different eating choices. It ensures that myself and friends can all get the type of food we want. Plus the vegan pad Thai and sunshine rolls are fabulous. If you are vegan/vegetarian, definitely check out the buffet on Tuesdays. It's a great way to try out different dishes, and was definitely a 4/5 on flavor. My non-vegan kid enjoyed it too.

Love the events they are always hosting! I've seen everything from a drag show to surfer rock! Hot tea is good and food is excellent, although a little pricey. Overall worth it.

This place is a true gem nestled in the Uptown. My husband and I have been coming here for many years, and we have never been disappointed. The food is absolutely divine. They offer a wide variety of beverages from a good selection of beers on tap, soft drinks , cocktails, and Thai iced tea. The staff is kind, welcoming, and top notch. We have enjoyed their weekday dinner and late night weekend shows. If you haven't been to the Emerald I highly recommend it. If you have been to the Emerald I recommend you try everything at least once. Oh, and if it's in season, you must try the sticky rice with mango . *Update 10/8/24* ate the best beef pho I've ever had today!

Very cozy and artistic! Not a complaint from my party! This place offers live music, hand made paintings all over the walls and tables as well as a very nice menu to pick from! We got the tofu soup, vegan pad Thai, pork and rice and the fried rice (but we subbed with brown rice) - everything was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend if you’re looking for somewhere nice to have a meal at!

I am one happy vegan! Just finished my Cashew Garden with tofu. So delicious!!The veggies were perfectly cooked. And the sauce/broth was not too sweet (I avoid sugar in my normal diet, so I often find restaurant food overly sweetened). Another pleasant surprise was that there was not an excess of garlic. It was intensely flavorful, and the number 1 spice level was plenty spicy for me. The amount of tofu was generous. I will definitely get takeout from them again!!!
