First time we came here, but won’t be the last. Food was amazing! We tried the combination Pho soup, shrimp tempura, satay chicken, and spring rolls. Everything was delicious! Very attentive waiter, and the owner came out to see how everything was. The interior is beautiful, and definitely recommend trying this restaurant.

This place was so much fun! We stumbled across it during the music festival (the BBQ restaurant was closed for an event) and were curious about a restaurant that served both Thai and African cuisine. The menu is kind of huge - a little overwhelming and I think they could do better to pare it down a bit and focus more on fewer things instead of trying to cram every dish in. That said, we opted for the hotpot - a first-time experience - and were not disappointed. The food was plentiful and good and it was fun to cook our own portions. Our server was excellent: friendly and helpful but not in our face. This place is a great addition to the town and I wish them success!

This was quite the discovery for me and my friend. The place was decorated for Halloween with fun eyes peering out of vases alongside African and Asian artifacts. Our server was very gracious and attentive without being overbearing. We ordered a hot pot for two with two broths. The meal was beautifully served, and it was very, very good and satisfying. I hope this place attracts many during the winter months for the hot pot is ideal for a cold season. I highly recommend this little gem.

Can you believe that this is takeout?! I’m stunned and the food is delicious. If this amount of love and attention goes into their takeout food-I can only imagine the service and food sitting down in the restaurant.
Also the owners are super sweet :)

Absolutely love this place! What a breath of fresh air in the community -- the best Thai food in the area. We just had dinner here and both the host, and our server, were phenomenal in attending to our needs. We loved the Emerald fried rice which came with an amazing presentation, the Pad see eew noodles which were flavored to perfection, and the mango sticky rice was absolutely to die for! My wife and I can't wait to try the African cuisine next time. We'll obviously be back, and I hope that more people in the area will support this charming family business.

We had a great meal here! Started off with the butterfly pea tea, the samosas as an app, and pork tum yum soup and beef stir fry for our entrees! All great. the soup was served in a bowl that had a candle under it so it remained hot! Our waitress was new on her second day and she was so nice.

Last week I stopped into the Emerald Buddha for lunch. I ordered the Tom Yum Seafood soup and was truly surprised by the taste and quality of the ingredients. Everything was fresh and not the usual Americanized version of an ethnic food. FYI, I was asked how hot (spicy) I wanted the soup and I said medium. Now I like spicy but know from experience with family and friends that what I consider medium, they would find HOT! I will definitely be going back to explore the rest of the menu.

My fiancé and I got tofu yellow curry and vegetarian pho take out and both were delicious. It only took 20 min, we can’t wait to come back to dine in.

Had a lovely date night here for the first time after wanting to try for a while! We are excited to have more food options coming to our town, and you should be too. Restaurants are a tough business and those who try and bring some variety to our taste buds need the support of the community. We started with veg spring rolls which were piping hot and perfectly crispy filled with nice veg filling and sweet dipping sauce. I got a noodle dish with chicken and my wife got a veg noodle soup and both had great flavor and big enough portions to take leftovers home (even though I powered through my whole dish!) I didn't even think to take pics of our meal because it smelled so good coming out that we just dug in. However, we did take a pic of the mango and coconut sticky rice dessert, which stole the show. We also split a Thai green tea which had great Macha flavor that was gone too quick. We will be back to try more! Also will make a great takeout option next time we are craving pad Thai at home! Next time we will try the hot pot.... can't wait!

Emerald Buddha was a great experience. I chose to dine-in. We had the Emerald Combo as an appetizer which consists of 2 Eggs Rolls, 2 Crab Rangoon, 2 Curry Pastry, 2 Chicken Satay, 2 Shrimp Rolls, and 2 Samosa. I particularly loved the curry pastries and the crab Rangoon which tasted homemade and not store bought.
We also got Pad Thai to share. It was a great size for 2 people and we still had leftovers for another day. They provide you with chili flakes and other condiments for spice. I’ll be honest, the Pad Thai was good but it wasn’t the best rendition I’ve had but it wasn’t awful either. In general it was enjoyable.
The hospitality was great. Aiden did a great job making sure we had everything we needed. It’s a new place so the turn around time is still being adjusted. Please be patient with the staff. They are doing an amazing job and in the near future will only continue to meet the customers expectations.
Will definitely come back to try other items on the menu including their Sunday African specials. Nice to have another local option for flavorful cuisine.
