I stopped by Thai Emerald on Thanksgiving eve as I was making my way driving down to Atlanta. While I was only getting take outs I was quite surprised to see the place was quite busy an hour before it closes on Thanksgiving eve. I was quickly greeted by the friendly staff and placed my orders in promptly. They're definitely very quick as I didn't have to wait more than 10 minutes before the food were ready. This is while the restaurant already had like 6-7 tables of patrons to wait on. I quite like how quick their service is.
The food wasn't much different from what you find in a typical Thai place. I was pretty famished so just went with the basics for speed and convenience. The price the portions were quite generous single order for me is enough for 2-3 meals, the food were pretty good although probably not very authentic Thai as it tasted sweeter than what I'm usually used to. Definitely more geared toward the American locals in the areas I would say. I find the curry to be more my liking although I personally would prefer softer potatoes. But the curry sauce was quite well done and I really liked they added some chili peppers to the curry.
I thought the place was a bit hard to find for a first timer. The strip malls here were quite numerous and took me a while to actually see the sign, but once you see it its easier to navigate through the parking lot.
Normally when I pass through I-77 I stop by the pho place but it looks like this would be a nice alternative :)
