Emerald's Thai Cuisine - Williamsburg

The restaurant offers a wide variety of vegan and vegetarian options. The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive. I ordered the tofu pad thai without eggs, while my wife enjoyed some noodles.

I really love this restaurant! I've dined here several times, and the staff is always incredibly friendly, while the food is excellent. They truly understand vegan options and will substitute tofu for any meat in the dishes. However, I wanted to provide an update: after visiting multiple times, I found out that all of their curries are made with half-and-half. So, I would recommend avoiding those!

After a long day at Busch Gardens, we decided to order takeout from this restaurant and brought the food back to our hotel. Everything was fantastic, and I especially loved the house fried rice. Thank you! Food: 5/5

The medium spicy Chicken Pad Thai was the best I've ever tasted! It had the perfect flavor, was cooked to perfection, and was just the right portion for lunch. The service was exceptional, and the atmosphere was comfortable. Food: 5/5.

This was just okay, and not worth the price.I love Thai food, it's my favorite type of food after Indian food. This was disappointing though. I found the dishes to be bland, not very flavorful, and not very spicy. In particular, the Thai fried rice lacked any sauce and seasoning, even salt. The seasonings on the curry dishes were very generic, it tasted like the type of Thai food that you would make at home from a pre mixed package. I hate to write something so negative, but considering the prices being charged here nearly $20 per dinner I expected much much more.The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was clean.
