Small, intimate Thai restaurant in Westwood, worth the visit. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the food was served in a timely manner! It was our first time there, and we will definitely be back! My husband and I had crab fried rice for the first time. It was DE-licious! No soy sauce is required! We also had their chicken pad Thai. Also delicious! They have a "wall of fame" of celebrities that dine there! Unfortunately, we saw no stars this evening! If you're in the area, give them a try!

Upon walking in, the restaurant had such a cozy and intimate ambiance! It was a really cute place, and the waitress who took care of us was extremely friendly and checked up on us multiple times. The food was great — I really liked the pad see ew and the thai tea! Would come again.

This is the most special spot with incredible food I would recommend it to every single person!! The crab fried rice was so unique and tasty I would go back time and time again for it. The best Wong tongs and wings! Chef John is incredbily talented and makes sure everything is super fresh. He has the best group of people working there and the ambiance is perfect. The mango sticky rice and Thai doughnuts are a perfect dessert!

An intimate and cozy setting as soon as you walk in. The walls are adorned with pictures of celebrities who have dined here in the past, so I assume this place must be great! I opted for the fan favorite, pad Thai with chicken for the main course and veggie spring rolls for appetizers. I was not disappointed with either. Generous portions that are packed with flavor. The vegetables and peanuts pair well with the soft noodles. The spring rolls are golden with the right amount of crunch, and when dipped with their special sweet and sour sauce, you won't be able to stop eating! Excellent staff and very friendly service that tend to your needs. Definitely coming back here again.

I’m still thinking about the food hours later, that’s how you know it was GOOD. Walked into Emporium Thai on a whim and left in a full-on food coma. The flavors here? Next level. We started with the viral Black Pink Lisa Balls (yes, I was influenced) and they were crispy, creamy, and ridiculously addicting. You have to try them. The drunken noodles had the perfect amount of heat, and the vegan green curry with tofu was rich and full of depth - even meat lovers would be impressed. Also tried the Peking duck and soft shell crab (YOLO), and both were perfection. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, not greasy at all. The staff was super friendly and made great recs. Ambiance is casual but cute! great for a weeknight dinner or even a casual date. FI’ve eaten a LOT of Thai food in LA, but this might be my new favorite spot. It legit made me feel like I was back in Thailand. 10/10.

Had an incredible time at Emporium Thai yesterday with my friends! Every bite and every sip was a delight — the red wine and Thai tea were spot-on. My absolute favorite was the mango salad — so fresh and flavorful! The donut for dessert was fantastic, the perfect sweet ending to the meal. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff were attentive and friendly. Can’t wait to come back!

We recently dined at Emporium Thai, and while the overall experience wasn't bad, there were a few highs and lows worth sharing. Ambience: The inside dining area is definitely the better pick — cozy and less noisy. It had a more welcoming vibe compared to the main dining setup. Food: Be very careful with the spice levels! We initially ordered a spice level 4 out of 10, thinking it’d be mild to medium — but it was extremely spicy. Even level 3 packed serious heat. We finally settled on level 2, which was more manageable. If you're not a spice warrior, start low! That said, the papaya salad and mango salad were refreshing and delicious. The mango sticky rice was a solid closer — sweet, creamy, and well-balanced. Drinks were also on point and complemented the meal nicely. (We got Mezcal based drink and Lychee Martini) Unfortunately, the Phuket wings didn’t quite hit the mark — kind of meh and forgettable. Service: Could’ve been better. A bit slow and not very attentive, we struggled a bit. Overall: Not a bad experience, but there’s definitely room for improvement — especially in terms of service . Would return for the salads and mango sticky rice… and maybe to explore the cocktail menu further (with a glass of milk on standby just in case!).
