Just had an incredible dining experience at Emporium Thai!
From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality that made me feel right at home. The ambiance was inviting and had a lovely Thai-inspired decor.
Now, let’s talk about the food – it was an absolute flavor explosion! I tried their Southern Thai Curry, and the blend of spices and herbs was a culinary masterpiece. Each bite was a delightful journey through the vibrant flavors of Thailand.
The service was top-notch; the staff was attentive and knowledgeable, helping me navigate the menu to find the perfect dish.
Overall, Emporium Thai is a gem in the world of Thai cuisine. If you’re looking for an authentic, mouthwatering Thai dining experience, this is the place to be. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu!
Never disappoints. Been coming here for years and the food is just consistently good ! We had Phuket Wings, Pad Thai Prawns , Crispy Duck and Thai Basil w/ Egg and Pork belly. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent. Will coming back for sure.
Just might hands down be my favorite Thai restaurant on the Westside. Here’s what you must order:
- Crispy egg rolls: light and crispy
- Phuket wings: my absolute fave!
- Akon salad: I’m allergic to peanuts so i couldn’t go all in but i took a bit of mango and scraped them off just to try. It was just as amazing as you’d think! The contrast between nutty (peanut) and sweet (mango) is different but really good!
- Southern curry: what they’re famous for. I’m typically not a curry person but there’s was the BOMB! I could eat it every day along with the sticky rice.
- Pad Thai: a classic great dish
- Cardi B Mango Sticky Rice: i see why she loves this stuff! The mango’s are al dente and the rice isn’t too sticky and mushy. I loved it.
Overall I had an amazing experience here! The service was exceptional and I can see why the owner & his family are beloved by the locals. It’s an intimate yet lively space that’s great for groups and date nights. I highly recommend this place!
Great spot for an intimate dinner. Had the southern curry & the pad see ew with shrimp and they were both delicious. BEWARE OF SPICE LEVELS, we got a 3 for the curry and it was just a tad too spicy for me. Still loved it though.
Wowww i just really wanna say the atmosphere is really nice ! The southern curry chicken is also really nice, and the fried crab thing??? What?? Its so nice!!! Like ughhdhhhs ... its so crunchy and delicious and just ????? Yeah go try it!!! I had the thai tea and its too sweet for my liking to be sure to ask for less sweet if you're like me!
Me and my friend are Thai people and we are here to travel. One day we are accidentally found this place and we decided to try some food here. It’s so good like spicy level or sea food sauce, it’s taste like the same in Thailand and the owner so kind that he gave us mango sticky rice too. I have good memories and good dinners here. Thank you so much.
Emporium Thai is a must-visit for any Thai food lover in West Los Angeles. The food is consistently delicious and authentic, and the menu is extensive, with something to please everyone. I highly recommend the Massaman Curry, which is rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The service is also excellent, and the staff is always happy to help you choose the perfect dishes and spice level. Overall, Emporium Thai is a fantastic restaurant with a warm and inviting atmosphere.

We were in the Westwood area and decided to try Emporium after seeing great reviews from a food blogger that we follow.
Good food and service, but a few critiques if we are to be honest. Ordered the Pad See Ew flat noodles with beef. It smelled good but honestly we both found it to be bland, it was lacking flavor. Maybe adding some basil, garlic etc might have helped this dish?
Also had the southern Thai curry with rice. It was pretty good. We received one small order of rice in a small round paper cup to share between 2 people. I would suggest giving a slightly larger serving of rice knowing that the majority of folks that order are sharing the food ordered and eating it family style.
The best item we had was the mango sticky rice..really good, so delicious. However 3 or 4 of the mango slices were not ripe at all and were very hard and crunchy instead of ripe and soft. Still ate it but the ripe soft mango is ideally the way to eat this.
Our server was very nice and helpful. It's not inexpensive to eat there. We have had the same quality of fresh Thai food for about $15 an entree (instead of $22-$30). But it's Westwood, so to be expected I'm sure location wise!
Overall good food and service, but expected it to be a bit better and more of a Wow, especially for the prices.
Emporium Thai is a very nice place, the setting is beautiful, and the staff are very kind and friendly. Most of all the food is delicious! My main dish was steamed white rice and tofu, it was so good I almost fell out of my seat!! Lastly I had the Thai iced tea, it was really sweet and definitely my favorite drink of the day!
From mouthwatering Pad Thai to aromatic Green Curry and Tom Yum soup, their menu boasts authentic Thai flavors that transport you straight to Thailand
Truly one of the best Thai restaurants in the USA. don't skip on ordering their famous Mussaman Curry Beef. The best!
The flavor of the food was amaazing. Rice and food was not as hot as would’ve liked it to be but it was still very good. The server was so sweet and helpful. Will definitely be back!
I’ll begin with praising the service of this restaurant, specifically Amy who was always smiling and makes people feel welcomed. It’s rare to find a restaurant were the service was as enthusiastic, friendly, and attentive on the level of Emporium.
The food is also great! You have to get the Tom Kha soup (that’s the one that comes in the big bowl with fire coming out of the middle) and the Crispy Honey Duck here, those were the hits. The Crispy Soft Shell Crab here is delicious and light, with the Pad Thai being cooked well to add to the dinner table.
The price of everything was fair for the great quality and service. Good place for a dinner with a friend or a casual date.
Amazing food, service, and good prices!! The thai basil chicken was our favorite dish
We got the Thai ice tea and chicken pad Thai, solid choices and good-size portions! Server was very kind and attentive! Definitely will come back!

I picked Emporium Thai because it was after 10pm and when I called to see if their kitchen was still open, the recording said they’re open from 11am to 11pm daily. I was surprised with how busy they were when I arrived at 10:15pm, but it also makes sense given their proximity to UCLA. As I was seated, more people came pouring in. This place is popping!! I’ll say that I picked this place because I was starving and Thai is typically somewhat-fast. Although the servers were very nice and friendly the food came painfully slow. Maybe they weren’t expecting a late night rush and usually the food is faster, but this was my first time here so it’s all I had to go off.
The real reason you come here is for dessert. No matter how full you are, make room and order the Cardi B. Mango with sticky rice ($12) which they list is actually @Cardi ‘a favorite. The texture and flavors on this dish were perfection.
For my entree, I ordered from their Most Loved Dishes From Thailand section after cross-checking the Yelp reviews for most popular dishes, and I ended up with the Pad See Ew (flat rice noodles, cage free egg, carrot, broccoli) with non-GMO chicken breasts ($20.95). This was the lowest priced protein, and still it’s a few dollars more than I’m accustomed to with Thai food in Los Angeles. The Most Loved dishes are mainly noodles, rice, and curry, and the differences in price are based on the protein selected - chicken $20.95, tofu $23.95, beef or shrimp $24.95, crispy pork $25.95. The broccoli and chicken lacked flavor, but the noodles themselves were delicious. It took ~25 minutes for this to come out after I ordered it, but it arrived steaming and so hot that I had to wait to eat it. They must have just made a fresh batch, but it was literally served too hot.
The atmosphere feels more upscale than I was expecting, and they have nice booths lining the wall with plenty of tables and chairs filling the center. You can come late, but don’t come starving. I’m glad I tried it and I recommend you come here for the mango sticky rice if you like sweet-yet-gooey-and-a-hint-of-savory desserts.
They are incredible! They helped my team out when we were in a time crunch and made our same day order work. Everyone loved the food too. Such amazing service, would definitely recommend if you have a big event coming up!
