• Thai • Westwood

Emporium Thai has been voted one of the 100 best Thai Restaurants in the US. Family-owned and operated, we have shared the wonderful flavors of authentic Thai food with our customers since 2000. We can't help it: Cooking is in our genes. Supis Sungkamee, our 88 year-old mom, bore 12 children in Southern Thailand and instilled in us a passion for authentic Thai cooking. In 1990, she won a lottery for a U.S. green card which allowed our family to become US immigrants and eventually US citizens. We are blessed and grateful to be able to share our family's recipes. Emporium Thai has become a favorite destination for those who appreciate fine Thai cuisine. Just like Mom and Dad did back in Thailand, Emporium Thai Cuisine uses only the finest ingredients bought locally. Our mission is simple "To create such a memorably wonderful Thai dining experience that you'll want to return to Emporium Thai often, and rave about us to your friends". We look forward to serving you soon.Khob-Kun-Krub

The lounge with a large TV, bar, and dining areas allow you to seamlessly transition between meals, and work or fun. Better than braving the 405 at rush hour, no?

Loved having the live jazz trio there during dinner. Such a beautiful setting! Had a delicious pomegranate mocktail. Didn't feel the missing alcohol at all. We had a hard time choosing which salad to get, so we got both the goat cheese salad and the beets. The baby gem lettuce was so crisp with a zippy dressing. So glad we got both. Will definitely be back!

We are at Emporium Thai on a Tuesday night and it was not busy at all. We were seated immediately even though we were late for our reservation. Our waitress was extremely helpful and answered all our questions. I had the pad thai which was delicious and my daughter had spicy eggplant. She said the spicy eggplant was tasty and they ask what level of spiciness you would like for your dish. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a great thai food experience.

We have been to all of the their restaurants. We thought the food was even better in Westwood, and a wonderful addition to Westwood. We brought home our leftovers and ate them at home the next day, still delicious.
