The Emerald of Siam Thai Restaurant and Lounge

Historical and Iconic !!!

This wonderful local restaurant is the only Thai place I have ever been able to eat at. They take my Peanut allergy very seriously and take every precaution. They even put a note on the order to the cooks that said “peanut allergy SEVERE” and their GF orange chicken is phenomenal!

One of the most important places in the uptown for me. Great music, community and amazing food.

I recently moved to Richland from the Seattle area and have been impressed with the food and staff every visit. The food has been probably the best I have tasted! I recommend for a drink as well! Their menu is well made and the drinks are delicious and creative!

Family owned restaurant with great Thai food and friendly staff! The Emerald butterflies and Thai tea are my favorites! They have a great lunch buffet as well. They have live entertainment and other events in the evenings throughout the week.

The Emerald has probably the most character in all of Tricities. I am not sure why I haven't been here until yesterday. The drinks and food are great, but a bit pricey for the portion size. I will be back for drinks and live music for sure!

We heard many good things about this place so we booked a reservation for my sister- in-laws birthday. When we walked in there was an older lady singing—very loud and just a bit off key. Just not really our cup of tea as live music fans. But the main issue I had was with the service. I don’t know if we just caught her on a bad day, but our server was rude and short with us. I worked in service for many years so I know it can be wearing, but this was supposed to be a special night for my sister in law and this woman’s attitude ruined the whole mood of our evening. We left early and went somewhere else. Very disappointing.

Lunch buffet was small but delicious and thee scald was refreshing and makes you want to keep on eating it

Great place that has withstood years of existence in the Tri-Cities. Times have changed, of course, but this place has been able to maintain their lead in great tasting food, drinks, value, service, and entertainment. Always the best sound system around and excellent venue for uo-and-coming performers. The local band, "easyday" sometimes performs and always pleases. Check them out on Spotify, too. They owe a lot to The Emerald of Siam.
