9 Best Thai Restaurants near Flowery Branch

“Amazing noodles!! I will be coming back for food!!“

“We got there right as the place opened for dinner and were politely greeted. We were seated in a corner booth that was intimate and in a nice little spot for a date, but the table had chunks taken out of it. It was a bit off putting for me not to be able to look around too, but I’m sure if I’d asked they’d have moved us. The table being messed up wasn’t a great impression, though. We were given ice water.
We ordered the Spring Roll & Tom Kha bowl as appetizers. The spring rolls came in a set of 2 & were the same basic generic spring rolls you’d get at many other restaurants- they were quite good. The soup was tasty and made me feel warm & toasty inside.

Masaman Curry is my favorite Thai dish and I try it everywhere I go to eat this kind of food. This one was a winner- the sauce was thicker than I’ve ever had it anywhere. This dish came with a first on the side for me (avocado) and the coconut milk base curry was sweet and mild with a hint of peanut flavor. In it was mixed potatoes, carrot and cashew nuts; I opted for tofu as well. My only regret is that I wish there had been more. It came with a heaping side of rice.
We got the Spicy Basil mild, and the stir fry came our tasting of a grill, mixed with onions, basil leaves, bamboo and sautéed mixed vegetables. I didn’t realize it wouldn’t have any kind of sauce. I asked about it and they advised it comes dry. I hinted at wanting some sort of sauce on the side to my date but he said we have sauce at home and so this dish is waiting in the fridge to be doctored up and eaten (we were full after sharing the other things).

There was Halloween candy at the front of the store. They charged a card fee, which I wish they’d told me about in advance. I didn’t use the restroom there so I can’t attest to that. The service was adequate and they were very nice, but nothing wowed me. The table being all chunked up was kind of yuck too.

Either way I would definitely eat there again- there’s not really any other options for Thai in Gainesville except one other spot with hours I never seem to make. Also the Masaman was really great. I spent a little over $40 which is decent. It was a truly okay experience.

Vegetarian options: Lots of choices“

“Our visit was for a family birthday with a large party. The atmosphere and service made our evening very memorable. The special attention payed to the young people was much appreciated. The leftover dinner lastnight was every bit as delicious as it was in the restaurant. We will definitely drive from Snellville to visit again!“

“Ordered some Thai food for me and my wife. Both saim vegetables with tofu and red curry with vegetables and tofu were excellent. I ordered take out..food was ready on time and hot..it was packed with care. The portions are good we ended up eating twice from one order. Have eaten inside before as well..ambience is not terrible or great just okay. But food is top notch.“

“"It's like a consensual sexual assault on the senses." "I feel like I got hit with tear gas. Flavorful, delicious, spicy tear gas." I was first introduced to pho when I was 22 and working at a Korean law firm. For the past 11 years, pho has been my go-to meal for everything: hangover, common cold, emotional comfort. I'd not be exaggerating to estimate I've been going to different pho restaurants at least once a week for 11 years. This is the very first one where a waiter or staff member has suggested something and said "that's the way we eat it in Vietnam." Our waiter suggested a sauce mixture (the base of which is his homemade recipe) that had my husband saying the two quotes at the beginning of this review. And he added "it's like a Vietnamese holy water, purging the demons from my sinuses" before we left. I'd highly recommend this place. We'll definitely be back - hopefully we'll get more "back in Vietnam" recommendations too! It adds so much to the experience when someone shares their passion and homeland experiences with you - it is obvious food here is cooked with love. I took the picture when we were almost done because it was so delicious, I forgot to take a picture at the beginning.“

“Amazing food! My family and I have gone here for over 2 years and it is great every time. We usually get the lunch or dinner, that comes with soup and rice and it is so delicious. The owner is always polite and nice, definitely coming back again“

“My friend told me about it and I absolutely loved the food and service! They remind me of the place I would frequent when I lived in Seattle!“

“One of our top spots to visit when we are feeling Chinese and my oh my, let me tell you about the SpIcy Honey Glazed Beef I ordered?! Oh yea I tore. It. Up. It was delicious in all the best ways possible, the beef cooked to perfection, the vegetables were such a nice touch, but star has got to be the sauce. Sweet & spicy & flavorful. This will be go-to from now.“

“We moved to Buford Ga 5 years ago from NYC and if you’re from NYC you know Chinese food is a staple. We’ll let me just say Friends House is the only Chinese food that has come close to feeling like home. We love the beef and broccoli, pork fried rice and so many other things. The owners and staff are always pleasant and welcoming. I highly recommend eating here. Takeout or dine in.“
