I have bookmarked this for a few months now and so happy to have finally dined here. Eathai is one of the most impressive Thai spots in Boca. The ambience, quality of food and service, plus the plating/presentation was top notch. Love the spacious and modern/trendy ambience. There's a wall that separates the left side (restaurant) from the right side (bar/cocktail lounge). There's ample parking in the plaza. The menu is pretty expansive and truly lives up to the "modern" yet authentic take on Thai food. The Crispy Brussels Sprouts was a standout -- perfectly blistered, sweet and savory at the same time with just enough crunch. Super tasty! The Dry Rub Thai Chicken Wings was another highlight. Crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and coated in a seasoning blend that hits you with layers of flavor instead of just heat. I am used to chicken wings that are drizzled with sauce and this dry rub wings was such a nice surprise. This is honestly some of the best wings you'll find in a Thai restaurant. The Grilled Lamb Satay was beautifully plated -- smoky, and marinated just right. Paired with the peanut sauce and the refreshing cucumber-onion relish, it was a solid dish. Would have preferred the meat to be more tender though. The Jumbo Lump Meat Crab Fried Rice was comforting, served with a spicy green chili sauce. I was warned by our server that the green sauce is spicy, so I tempered the heat by adding more fish sauce. Generous chunks of real crab, fragrant rice, and well‑seasoned flavors. Service is efficient (will update this with the name of our server next time) and warm. The chef/owner is So. He is funny, friendly and hospitable and he makes his rounds to visit every table checking how everything is. This restaurant is now in our rotation for top Asian eats in Boca. If you're looking for Thai food with heart, flavor, and attention to detail, this place is a must try!
Great authentic Thai food, beautiful ambiance and decor, friendly staff! The newly renovated EatThai is a perfect place for date night or to catch up with friends. It's airy, open spaced with a great bar serving very unique cocktails. Our papaya salad was a nice big portion with a lot of toppings like pork rinds and dried shrimp. The flavor was strong and bold, even at a spice level of 1 out of 5, it was plenty spicy for my weak tolerance. For entrees, I had the crispy duck breast with lychee curry sauce. It was a thick pieces of breast with lean meat and a nice edge of fat with skin. It's lightly breaded and added to the sauce with bell peppers, lychee and basil leaves. The ratio is definitely a lot more sauce to ingredients. The curry is tangy, sweet and mildly spicy. Good flavor. My husband's Kao Soi was loaded with toppings and had a nice portion of noodles below. He said it was reminiscent of his days in Thailand where he could find something similar on the street carts. The crispy noodles on top adds great texture to the soft beef and pickled greens.
Food is very good. We tried Brussel sprouts appetizer off of the specials menu. They were crunchy and well sauced. For the meal I tried tofu with vegetables. I tried to order a few things to customize as vegan and it seems that is no longer an option. Essentially they created a dish that is vegan - even the tofu dishes have fish sauce in them so definitely something to be aware of. I was excited to try the mushroom salad from a previous review but they informed me it was not possible. The food was definitely still good, a variety of veggies and tofu ( can choose fried or steamed) with sticky rice. My boyfriend tried the oxtail fried rice and said it was very good. Highlight of the meal was Thai tea. Our server was not very attentive we found ourselves waiting to see her for a while more than once but they were busy when we arrived. I will say the busser girl who cleaned the tables checked in with us more and she deserves a promotion truly. Ambiance inside was nice.
Went on a Saturday night to Eathai with 2 Thai food lovers and 1, reluctant not so much a fan of this cuisine who left all in, saying "when are we going back?" The vibe is relaxed, clean and comfortable. Large rectangular tables can fit parties of 6-8. There is a separate room with a bar. We had a reservation, but at 7pm, we probably did not need one. Many of the guests were Thai families. I started with a less-lychee syrup, Lychee Martini. It hit the spot. It was $15. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share that came out pretty quickly but not all at once. Dry brine chicken wings were spicy and sweet but still tender and juicy. I wish there were a dipping sauce. I probably could have asked for something but now I know. A tuna ceviche comes with shrimp chips. The tuna was plentiful nestled with cilantro, red onion and chili pepper. The fish could have been cut better, but I nitpick. Chicken Pad Thai was maybe the best I have ever eaten. The chef used restraint with his fish sauce so the dish was less "funky" as it can be sometimes in other establishments. The papaya salad was good, I would not run back for it. I know people who love a good papaya salad, but I don't see what all the fuss is about. The Thai food non-lover had a shrimp dish that came with rice. It was fairly basic with some thai basil, onion and peppers. He enjoyed the straightforward and simple preparation. And lastly we had the crab fried rice which was just ok in my book. I wish the rice were not so mushy. There was plenty of crabmeat on top, but I thought the dish tasted too "eggy". Next visit I hope to get the duck, the spicy-grilled chicken and other shareables. I won't forget the pad Thai. I could eat that every day.
We always are impressed with the food here and this visit was no different. It was close to Christmas and they were very busy. We called for a table and it was ready when we got there. We ordered a few appetizers which came quickly. Loved the beef jerky and coconut shrimp. The jerky was very thin slices of beef with a delicious flavor. I had my favorite dish, Salmon parang curry and just loved it. The panko crusted salmon and skin were crunchy and perfectly cooked and was made even better with the fabulous curry sauce and veggies. This dish is a must try. Our friends had eggs Benny noodles, pad thai, shrimp tom yum frid rice, and short rob curry. Everything was excellent and most the plates were wiped clean. They brought a rolled thai tea ice cream for the birthday boy. Highly recommend this neighborhood gem when you want yummy Thai food.
Was craving Thai so a quick google search brought up Eathai-- and glad it did! Nestled in a mini strip center off federal highway lies this gem. Very clean and modern decor with a quaint bar area separated by a wall. Very friendly and attentive service with great food as well. The enoki stuffed mushroom was very unique and chicken pad Thai was very flavorful. My friend enjoyed the cashew chicken. Will definitely return to try more dishes and the cocktail menu had some interesting choices as well for next time.
Wait guys... the waitress was so nice. And waiter. And food. And bro do u see this ambiance? I think they done ate with that, just like I done ate the food. Waiter deadass packed it for me, all w's here. Also the shots were so good they had whipped cream I don't even live in Florida like that but lowkey might have to pu again next time we see grandma
EaThai has officially made the move from Delray to East Boca, and the new space is a major upgrade. Industrial-chic meets Thai cocktail lounge, with a glowing bar, moody lighting, and a sharper menu to match. We started with the lychee mojito, light and minty, and a Thai iced tea martini, rich and creamy--basically dessert in a glass. The food was dialed in across the board. The double mushroom salad was savory and sneakily spicy, tossed with lime, herbs, and chili oil. The Chinese sausage salad with fried egg was a standout--sweet, spicy, citrusy, and topped with a perfectly runny egg. Watch out for those bird chiles. The lemongrass shrimp came in a luscious Thai chili sauce, like a Penang curry with extra punch. And the crab fried rice was simple but done right, with a generous topping of real lump crab. Great service, polished space, and bold flavors. EaThai 2.0 is already one of the best Thai spots in Boca.
Finally made it to the new Eathai location in East Boca, and it did not disappoint! The food was absolutely incredible--just as delicious as I remembered, if not better. They've upped the experience with a full bar now, featuring an impressive lineup of custom cocktails that are as creative as they are tasty. Bonus: they're currently offering a summer happy hour special with 50% off drinks from noon to 6 PM--a great excuse to indulge a little earlier in the day. We sat at the bar and had excellent customer service. Our bartender was attentive and extremely helpful! The new location has more seating with the classic charm of the original Eathai location. 10/10 - hands down the best authentic Thai food in South Florida. Highly recommend!
We came in for lunch for the first time and already had a great vibe on the place. Earthy deco. When we looked at the menu, it was the size of the table. No readers needed . Very authentic Thai restaurant. We over ordered because we wanted to try everything and so was thinking of taking home leftovers. But everything was so good, we finished it all. We had the spicy cream tom yum soup with salmon. Delish. Hot till the last drop. Pad Thai, very nicely stirred fried. Chicken Larb and papaya salad. We ended with the coconut pudding. So delish. Nice texture and warm. Will definitely come back again and bring friends.
Great service, chill ambiance. The Khao Soi had Very good flavor, tender meat. Will come back
Love this place just dont get here enough. Got a lunch special this visit, Prit King Chicken. These are priced very well. Cant get that dish everywhere. It was delicious, flavorful and the level 6 spice was perfect! Opted for salad over soup cuz their peanut sauce is the BOMB! Had their shrimp fresh rolls to start as I do every visit. They are fantastic - packed, fresh, flavorful! Service is always prompt, friendly. Place is clean and nicely decorated- not usual kitche and tastefully done. Parking can be a challenge so be patient but otherwise definitely worth a visit or more!
We came here based off a friend recommendation and wow what a win! Our server was Max and he gave fantastic recommendations and was on top of everything at all times. We started with the Thai wings. Then we had the green curry short rib special, the egg Benedict cashew garlic egg noodle and ended with the Thai ice cream. Everything was absolutely delicious and the service was incredible. I will definitely be back and I definitely recommend to everyone and ask for Max.

Eathai is one of my favorite places to go to. I eat here for every special occasion and just for funsies. The owner is super nice. The atmosphere is always great. Plus they always have amazing food. I always have to get their Thai tea. But this time we tried their coconut juice too, and it was to die for. I love their gator nuggets and wings, and the dipping sauces that come with them. They're complex. Sweet, savory, spicy, they literally hits every taste bud. We also got the fried enoki mushrooms. I've never had one before, but I can't live without it now lol. We tried the grilled lamb chops for the first time too and they were so succulent and tender plus perfectly seasoned. What I really come here for though is the curry. That slow cooked chicken curry and the duck curry are so good I can never choose one. So I always get both. The chicken is fall off the bone perfect. And the duck is succulent and not greasy. And to top it all off you get to end your perfect meal with the perfect rolled ice cream . This place is literally perfection. And I couldn't praise it more. On our Fearless Foody scale we give it the highest rank of EMF (exceptional mouth feel), and we can't wait to be back for more. read more

The place is very trendy and inviting at the same time. Staff was very friendly and the food was delicious. The calamari was really good and we loved the sauce it came with. They made an egg fried rice with green beans for my son and it was yummy. My only complaint is that was fairly pricey and they don't have a kids menu. We shared the crab meat fried rice and the chicken pad Thai. Both were really good. We finished it off by sharing a Thai donut rolled ice cream and my son got a rolled Ice cream with strawberries. Everything was highly satisfying. We drank water and our bill was $63. So for some it may be expensive. It was a great meal, though, and I'd recommend it. read more

Been here for lunch several times already. The food is always well prepared and promptly served. I try to order something different every time. I really enjoyed their fried soft shell crab served on a salad, the coconut shrimp noodle dish (see photo) and pad Thai. $3 draft beer on Fridays. The staff are very pleasant and willing to please - making a dish more or less spicey per request. read more

Wow the food is amazing that I can't stop thinking about the dish I had a month ago. It was the slow cooked curry chicken and wow. I scarfed the whole thing down. I loved the house salad and the soup I had. I love how they have the rolled ice cream here for dessert too. I'm in love with this place! read more

The Yin and the Yang: I focus here on my experience at Eathai being a study in opposites. I saw flashes of brilliance while also witnessing bewildering feats of self-sabotage. Up until two months ago, my daughter was a vegetarian. Now, she is a quasi-vegetarian who will, on rare occasion, eat chicken. If chicken is an option, it must not look like it ever clucked or walked the earth. It must have no skin, no bones and must not resemble a body part. Chicken satay would be acceptable, for example. She went to order it and was very disappointed to see that Eathai offers only lamb satay. Eating anything with the word lamb in it is verboten. So, she looked down the line to the two tofu dishes but she will only eat tofu if it is of the firm variety. Runny tofu has no place for my daughter and for that I can't blame her. The server did not know whether the tofu was soft or firm and could not explain the dishes. She said she knew nothing about the tofu and then stood there waiting. When nobody said anything, she said, "Maybe I could go ask someone." She then asked a guy who was standing behind the bar who shrugged his shoulders. She returned to the table and said that he didn't know either. I was tempted to ask whether he worked here. While this was happening, we started to realize that we were becoming surrounded by butts. Yes ... butts. Big butts. Little butts. Butts in skirts. Butts in jeans. Tiny butts on top of shoulders. Our table for two, we now learned was just feet away from the restaurant's ice cream counter. People were congregating to place an ice cream order. It felt like our table was in the middle of the line except there was no line. It was mayhem. I admit to being curious as to what the big deal was but then remembered two things: (1) i read a yelp review about their innovative ice cream and that is what brought me here and (2) I just want to enjoy dinner with my daughter, not be jostled. Another server overheard our server telling us how neither she nor the guy behind the bar knew anything about the tofu. This new server tapped ours on the shoulder and essentially tagged-in, taking over and telling the other server to go do something else (like look at the tofu dishes maybe). This woman was terrific. She talked my daughter through the menu and suggested a dinner with tahari sauce, brussels sprouts and bean sprouts. We did not wait long for our food. My chicken in massaman curry was excellent. The sauce was sweet, creamy and thick and filled with fresh ground spices and red pepper flakes. The chicken was served as a whole breast, not cut up in chunks and floating in the sauce as is usually the case. Here, the chicken was front and center in a shallow pool of curry, not drowning in it. It was served with vegetables that were fresh and well cooked, seemingly marinated in the curry. Very very good. The sprouts dish was also very good. It was presented very simply and the fresh sprouts were full flavored with light seasoning and a small amount of soy or tahari roasted in. We shared an appetizer of cold tangerine slices topped with little mounds of ground and caramelized peanuts (i think) and coconut. The actual dish was made to order, almost like a rectangular escargot dish but made for these little tangerine creations. Nicely done. The food was therefore very good in my opinion BUTT and I mean butt, it was hard to eat with the only scenery being other people's backsides in front of and to the side of our table, literally inches from our elbows. This was inexcusable and inexplicable. Construct a half wall or put in a rope-line or something. Have people take numbers and wait up front or outside. Whatever you do, don't have a throng of hungry dessert-goers massing around your diners. I have posted a pic that might give some sense of our smelly dilemma. Lastly, and not a good ending, was our attempt to at least have some of that ice cream. We asked our server whether we could order and have it brought to the table or whether diners also were to wait in that line. She said we could leave the table and sit at the bar and she would get us our ice cream quickly. We saw that other diners were eating ice cream at their tables. We waited at that bar for a while. We learned that (1) the ice cream looked awesome; (2) it was poured on a frozen disk and peeled off with crushed toppings (just as i had seen in pics from other Yelp Elites) and (3) the guy behind the bar really did work there and his job was to pour and peel ice cream. We never got to try it. We waited. We waited. And we waited. She never came back. No one else approached us to help. At least, seated on bar stools, our faces were higher than the mass of waiting butts. Ultimately, I dropped some twenties and left. Will I be back? I admit that I will be. After analyzing the situation, I think we got behind early and never fully recovered from seeing the cheeky backside of Eathai. read more

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in town! Wonderful food. Pleasant service. Relaxing atmosphere. True Thai recipes. The Horseshoe appetizer is sweet, tart and refreshing...would be delightful for dessert, too. Thai Bouillabaisse has strong heat and the flavors are well balanced. Crab Meat fried rice is served with an umami chili purée...a little goes a long way and it is essential to the dish. Try this awesome Thai restaurant. It will not disappoint. The owner is passionate about what he does and it shows! read more
