    Mediocre Salad
    Marc H.

    Quaint spot; feels cold upon entry. Spacious seating - a big plus. Friendly staff, attentive. The restaurant looked clean. Ordered a couple lunch specials. Food came VERY fast. I had a Bento Box, my date some sushi. The soup was NOT good. It tasted off. I had Miso soup not too long ago and it was 100x better. The salad was not to my liking - I prefer a spring mix. The dressing was tasty though. The Teriyaki Salmon was yummy - I was impressed with it. The pork dumplings were also very good, but no sauce? My major complaint were 2 types of the sushi were overly mushy. I've never had mushy sushi before and although it tasted good the texture was a bit suspect. Overall a pleasant experience, but certainly not enough to have me waiting to go back...

    Wanted to try here since I been to bonsai 1 & 2. I noticed its bit understaffed here, but considering most I saw get takeout I get it. My sever was really a star here,holding down the front for to go orders, severing people eating in and actually making the sushi rolls as well. Plus he kept a simile and was very friendly, with ensuring you liked the food. Both the valentines and pepper tuna avocado rolls were great and super fresh, despite having to move around a lot he made the rolls with quality.

    Food was excellent! Service was wonderful, the food came out quick (5-10 minutes). The waitress/hostess was working super hard to get the to-go orders to everyone waiting and taking calls. Shout out to her! Two other workers made sushi. The atmosphere was calm and it had a sea theme with shells on walls. I liked it very much. I ordered the bento box that included: miso soup, salad with ginger dressing, cali roll and a teriyaki roll. You can select 2 other options and you there's plenty to choose from! I chose the salmon teriyaki and the spicy tuna roll. I also ordered gyoza as appetizers and a bubble tea. Miso soup: super simple and delicious Salad: simple as well and the dressing was light California roll and spicy tuna roll: very good, though not spicy. The tuna roll had a nice crunch which was great. Teriyaki roll: my favorite, super crunchy with salmon (I think) inside and sauce on top! So good! Salmon teriyaki: not over cooked with delightful sauce with some grilled onions, carrots, broccoli and shredded zucchini Gyoza: a bit smaller than what I expected but it satisfied my cravings! Bubble tea: my least favorite, not the best one I've had. A bit bland but the pearls were chewy so that's good. Totally recommend and would go again!

    Stunning decoration

    Food is amazing! I always order the dinner bento box and they never disappoint. Waitress is quick and my food arrives quite fast. The seashell decorations are stunning! I've been here multiple times already leaving full and happy. Great place.

    Special Oyster appetizer.

    We've been consistent patrons of their Bonsai 2 for many years but this is so much closer. We hoped it would be just as good & it did not disappoint! The "Jury is still out on the decor" (lol) but it's clean & very cheery. My brother & I elected to sit at the sushi bar. We were greeted warmly by a couple who are husband & wife (waitress & sushi chef). They didn't have their liquor license yet but welcomed BYOB. Everything we ordered was fresh, plentiful & tasty. The Chef even created a special appetizer of oysters he asked us to evaluated as a future special. I'm not fond of oysters but my brother is and devoured them! We meant to snap a picture but when we didn't the chef made up 2 more & my brother got the picture to post & another welcomed tasty treat!

    Spicy trio, Hawaiian roll, and crazy spicy tuna

    The sushi is fresh and delicious. The best I have had in a while. I would definitely return here for the raw sushi!

    Pre-ordered for pickup after noon on a Friday. It was a fairly large order for 8 people and…read moreincluded several types of drunken noodles, pineapple fried rice, panang curry, a few orders of spring rolls, thai iced teas, mango sticky rice, and chicken satay. Everything was packed perfectly and nothing was missing. They even provided a cardboard cup holder for the drinks. At the counter, you can take your own cutlery, napkins, candy, and chopsticks. Everyone enjoyed the food. Mine was shrimp panang curry and I also tasted some mango sticky rice, thai iced tea, chicken satay and duck drunken noodles. They do have a smaller lunch portion, but I opted for the regular size which was enough for 2 meals. The panang curry hit the spot and had just the right spice level for me. The mango was perfectly ripe, thai iced tea perfectly sweet, chicken satay was tender and came with 2 sauces. The duck drunken noodles were cooked perfectly and there was a good duck to noodle ratio, but not really spicy. I did notice the restaurant was a bit cold inside, but I got takeout so did not stay to eat. Would love a way to pre-order pickup online - the websites available would only allow delivery ordering. Would order takeout from here again.

It seems to be a bit more of a take out restaurant but honestly the waiter was extremely attentive and kind! There's not many tables but honestly this spot is worth a try for sure! Great restaurant and calm vibes!

    Such a unique, creative, vibrant spot right on the water in Carmel! Loved all the unusual dishes…read morethat you can't find elsewhere - delicious tapioca dumplings with cilantro, pad thai chicken wings, some kind of crunchy, coconut chicken noodle dish, fried banana rolls. They even have themed trivia Monday nights and great board games to play (loved playing the relationships card game). Tons of Thai tea and bubble tea options, too. Can't wait to come back. 5 stars!!!

    I have been going to thai golden for years and have always loved the place to hang out and have…read morelunch or dinner with friends, and have always found it worth the over 20 minute drive. The ambiance is very modern and colorful, with brightly colored walls and murals and really nice family photos and thai decorations up making it authentically thai-american. My favorite dishes here are the guay chai appetizers-- which are fried, deeply savory and chewy-- and their pad see ew which has a umami, wok hei flavor and a silky texture on the rice noodles. My only note is that sometimes the rice noodles come pretty broken up in pieces from the stir fry. Their red curry and pad Thai are also great, very flavorful with a fair portion. I appreciate how now they give you a spice rack to self-customize your spice level instead of relying on the kitchen. I only recently realized how GOOD their drinks are too. By far the best matcha lattes in Putnam county, as a matcha lover I like how you can really taste the matcha rather than just the milk. Their cocktails during golden hour are also amazing, and extremely creative. They also host events like trivia nights and open mics that I would love to attend one day. Thai golden has really set themselves up to be a wonderful hangout spot, and a nice third space to be a part of the community in. Great food, drinks, and vibes all around.
