Emporium Thai

We came to Emporium Thai for their Dine LA set recently with a reservation for three people. Despite having made a reservation, we were sat at a table for two, and even when other tables were available for 3-4 people, we were not allowed to be moved (before our food had even been served). Having ordered one set per person with different dishes, there were 3 appetizers and 3 entrees so it was rather uncomfortable to have so little space for all the dishes. Even when bringing out the dishes, service was slow with some requests like extra bowls or chopsticks being forgotten about. Our poor experience with the service could be excused if the food was at least better than the service we got, but the food was at best mediocre. Despite having ordered medium spicy for the dishes, not a single di

I am so thankful that Emporium Thai is open pretty late on weekdays. It is a struggle to locate spots whose last call for food is normally 9pm, but this is a go to spot for those that work late night shifts that need to find quality food to eat. This spot is cozy, clean, offering exceptional service with a beautiful and authentic Thai touch. The people that work here are so friendly and attentive - not once did I have to seek them out for refills, add ons, and the check.

We celebrated Johnny’s birthday here and everything was perfect. The food was delicious, especially the Pad Thai and Massaman Curry, and the Thai donuts were the best ending. The staff went above and beyond to make the night special — great setup, great vibe, great service. Easily one of the best group dinners we’ve had in LA!

I was craving Thai food after having a very long day and I happened to come across this restaurant. I called wanting to place an order but the automated person kept saying place the order online. I wanted to talk to an actual person because I wanted my pad see ew spicy or to see if they’re able to make it spicy. But the call wouldn’t connect me to anyone so I placed my order online. On my notes I wrote 3 stars please hoping that it was some hint of spice. Nope there’s nothing not a hint of chili flakes. For almost $30 and after a long day, I was pretty upset.

We visited Emporium Thai on Westwood Blvd and had an overall good experience. The happy hour prawns were tasty, especially with the sauce over them, and the chicken dumplings, while not extraordinary, were still flavorful and enjoyable. Drinks were a strong point—the Thai tea was smooth and pretty good loved the ice on it, and the Mai Tai was well made. For entrees, the tom yum soup was a little too sweet and heavy on the coconut milk for my taste, but the panang curry had a nice depth of flavor and was satisfying. The clear standout of the evening was the Cardi B Sticky Rice and Mango. As simple as it looks, it was absolutely delicious and easily the best part of our dinner. We’d like to come back and give it another chance by trying some of the celebrity-recommended dishes. For now, we
