Emerald's Thai Cuisine - Williamsburg

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.

From out of State, stopped in for Thai food to avoid the mission in the freeway. Had been craving Thai, and this was great! Tom Kha soup, papaya salad, spicy crispy duck (so good(, and the crab fried rice. All delicious, and you know it's hard to find a Thai place that does a good job on several dishes. So glad we stopped.Food: 5/5

The only reason that this restaurant is not 5 stars is because the portions are small in comparison to the price. The food was really good and I’m hard to please with Thai food. We had different curries, which we both enjoyed.Food: 5/5

Our new favorite Thai restaurant!!! Everything was so delicious and service was outstanding! We lived in Thailand before and this is the best we’ve had in VA. อร่อยมากFood: 5/5

The food is not as good as it was with the previous ownership. The decor has been upgraded and is nicely done. Prices are higher, food came out lukewarm, and lunch no longer has a small side salad and costs more. The server got my order wrong. Not sure I will return.Update: I returned and have the same opinion as the first time, even more so. This time I ordered the side salad and the lettuce was warm. Apparently, the server put the order in right away, as the food came out too soon as they were not busy. I will not be going back.
