We have wanted to come back to this restaurant since we first found it. The restaurant is pretty inside with colorful flowers and beautiful art work. Diners can also eat outside in a lively shared patio dining area shared by several restaurants in the same center. Reviewing their menu they had some entree items with glass noodles. My husband is fond of them. When that happened I have no idea. But. We finally were able to get there last week. My husband chose pork with glass noodles and vegetables. It had lots of snow peas and those cute little corn cobs! Thai food can be known for its spiciness. Our servers explained how to choose what was right for each of us. The choices are 1-5 in increasing spiciness. Our server then told us about the customer who asked for a 10!!! I tried the Penang Curry that came with steamed rice and it was delicious! We also chose their special coconut dessert in tiny little ceramic dishes we could take home, after we scoured all the goodie out! We will be back soon! read more

Excellent authentic thai food menu and service. Large out door seating area so getting a table and chair should not be an effort

The BEST, freshest, most flavorful and authentic Thai food in Naples and maybe all of Florida! I wish I could say this a different way to build this review, but it's that simple, this food is THE BEST. I've had Thai food all over the country. I've had almost everything on this menu, mostly carry out, and never had a bad experience. Well once, we had a bad connection, they heard wrong and made the wrong meal for me, but it was infinitely better than what I ordered anyway, so a new favorite discovered! Do not hesitate to come here! read more

Crispy duck and the yellow curry were outstanding! Servers were very attentive and kind. Will return.

Here's the thing, if you have a well-developed palate that can appreciate the nuances of flavor in skillfully prepared food you will be thrilled with Em-On the chef. She's a culinary gift to us all. I hope she preserves the recipes and prep for future generations to enjoy Thai food at its best. All others are poor imitations in our fair city. read more

Who knew there could be solid Thai food in a strip mall in Naples? My boyfriend's cousin recommended the food here and she didn't steer us wrong. There were lots of different lunch specials including many types of curries with different spice levels. Our waitress was very helpful and knowledgeable about the different types of curries and helped us find what we liked. My boyfriend tried the jungle curry, which is was less creamy than your traditional Thai curry since it wasn't made out of coconut milk. He got it on the highest spice level and loved it. I stuck with my go-to beef pad see ew but instead of the traditional broccoli, the waitress said I could choose whatever I wanted as a topping so I went with carrot and baby corn, which was great! Definitely a solid choice if you're looking for some solid Thai food. read more

Awesome experience! We started with the chicken wonton soup, then enjoyed the pad Thai, pineapple fried rice, and chicken lo mein. All were delicious! The service was great, and my husband enjoyed his beer. Couldn't give five stars because there are no mixed drinks and the Arnold Palmer on the menu also was not available... So my 14-year-old begged me not to give a full five stars (he's a big AP fan!). Seems about right. Will definitely go back! Hoping for an expanded drink menu next time. read more

Amazing food!! Large portions for a good price. Can't wait to go back! Pretty outdoor seating

Had to-go and everything was to die for! Got the chicken basil and masaman curry which are two of our faves at Em On's! Also recommend the pad Thai although we didn't get that tonight. Thai donuts there are amazing but buyer beware they are addictive!!!! read more

Stopped for a late lunch, some of the best Thai we have had in the area. The restaurant has clean and service was fast. We will repeat.

Could not have been better. great crispy veggies and sauces. Best Thai we have ever had,

this is the best thai restaurant in naples!! the staff was very friendly and helped us decide what to order. we got the laab shrimp which was incredible and the flavors was so good. we also ordered the tom yum soup and the red snapper and those were very delicious as well. i would highly recommend this to anyone. read more

I have been hearing about this tucked away gem for years and finally dove in and tried it! It was defiently worth the trip in. This is more of a local spot, away from the chaos of 5th Avenue, Waterside and Mercato, perfect! The service was wonderful with a very friendly staff and the food was very tasty. I had the pang dang shrimp with hot and sour soup as an appetizer and the flavors were fantastic! We will be back for sure read more

I've have been going to Em ons probably around 16 years and have always been happy with the service and food. Lek has recently got a new wait staff who English is sub par So when ordering my usual items these girls can not get it right. I have a long commute home to find out the order is wrong. i can not be the only one with this experience. Lek please get someone who can speak english so the orders are correct. I'm sorry to leave a bad review but a once great place is going down hill. read more

Service was great but food wasn't worth the cost. The chicken teriyaki was dry and the mixed lo mein was incredibly bland. Not worth the cost. read more

Came here during lunch time for the second time. Extremely slow service. The gentleman waiting on us really wasn't attentive and the food took longer for not a full restaurant. We started of with the soup. My husband thought his Tom Yum soup was okay. I ordered the wonton soup and it was veggies in bland broth. I couldn't get past the first sip. Husband ordered the chicken prik king. My pad Thai was very greasy and sweet. Maybe it was an off day for my choice. But there are better Thai places in town. read more

Omg I'm a huge fan of everything Thai coconut curry and Em On did not disappoint! Enough for several meals and very tasty!

I'm Vietnamese and my wife is Thai from Bangkok. We are visiting Marco Island from Texas and happened to find this gem in Naples, while looking for a Thai restaurant. The food, service, and ambiance were all on point. Just a quick play-by-play: We started with the thai coffee and tea that were absolutely tasty. Spring rolls were very light and delicious. Papaya salad with salty crab was crisp and fresh. The papaya salad has a big spicy kick to it but the sticky rice that comes with it helps to tame the heat a bit. We then had the Thai fried rice, pad Thai, and lad na. Each dish was so flavorful and really hit the spot for us. We haven't had authentic Thai food like this in a while, so we were happy to luckily come across this restaurant in our search for Thai food. We will definitely come back again before we leave to go back home! read more

I've been going to this restaurant for a while on a regular basis. The food is decent and the service use to be good. BUT, that has changed. Over the last 3 - 4 months the service as become absolutely horrible. After 3 times of probably the worst service I've ever had I've decided not to return. This last time the restaurant was not even 20% full. We were seated and waited over 15 for someone to take our order. Then, we waited and waited, about half hour with no sign of our appetizers. During this time I watched them walking around with orders placing them on wrong tables then taking them back to the kitchen. One I think was our order but No one would pay any attention when I called out and waved at the several wait staff standing around.. aftercabout 35-40 mins we finally walked out. WE will Never return!! read more

Amazing! The pad Thai was perfect, best Thai food I've had! and Lek, the owner and cook, took the time to connect with us and make us feel special. You can tell they care about their quality and the food is made with love. read more

No social distancing . No happy hour either . If you're in the mood for basic Thai this will meet your needs. Not fantastic food but adequate. No atmosphere. Just know what you are getting before you go. Probably a better option for take out! read more

I just came here for the first time after stumbling upon it on a work trip and it turned out to be, by far, the best thai food I have ever had!!! If you are in Naples and like thai, do yourself a favor and make this your first stop coming into town!! read more

What a great Thai restaurant. Every dish is fresh and made to order. The coconut soup is the best I have ever had! Family owned with absolutely great staff. read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Em Ons! It's the best Thai restaurant in Naples, maybe all of southwest Florida for That matter. Everything is lights out, Especially their soups ! Plus you can order online :) read more

Hadn't been to my favorite Thai restaurant for too long a time so went with my favorite dining buddy Dave last night to set that right. As usual the dining experience was exceptional. And if you become a regular, you will be remembered and treated like family because this is a family run establishment. Now on to the food. Papaya salad appetizer is always excellent and if you like hot go to the 4 level. My favorite dish, Ka-prow with pork, came next. Thai basil infused chili sauce is such a unique flavor. Give it a try for something above beyond the more common dishes like Pad Thai. The star of the show was a new addition to the menu, Gra Tiem-Prik Thai. The roasted garlic and peppercorn sauce was da bomb and, although not listed on the menu, ours was served over two small lobster tails and a bed of fresh veggies. The wine here is a good deal too, nothing too fancy but reasonably priced. Or just was it down with a Sing-ha beer! read more

I love Em On's Thai Cafe. I have been coming here for at least a decade. My favorite dishes are panang curry with chicken, Tom Yum Soup spicy, pad thai noodle dish, chicken sizzling platter, and the chicken satay. We need to support our family owned businesses. You won't be disappointed. read more

Best Thai I've ever had! Sizzling Platter you must get! Coconut custard for dessert! Great service too!

I know. You're probably thinking, most Thai restaurants are good. Is this one REALLY that much better than the others? YES IT IS! In addition to the standard soups, Pad Thai are a few stand out uniqie dishes. One such dish is a sizzling chicken stir fry with their home made peanut sauce. The textures and levels of flavors were nothing short of amazing. The other dishes were terrific, way beyond what you would expect from a store front Thai Restaurant tucked into this shopping center. 5 STARS! read more

Service is lovely, food is AWESOME! and most importantly they are very gluten friendly. The food portion is amazing for the price as well. I will definitely be a regular! read more

Food was decent, staff was friendly. A bit on the expensive side but a nice dinner all around!

We love this place! My husband and I come almost every week to get some spicy Pad See Ew, Red Curry, soup and a Singha beer. Its always the same efficient, kind staff and the food is always hot and delicious. read more

Met the owner Lek and let me tell you WOWWWWW love this place and it's AUTHENTIC and FRESH!!! My gf and I have been to over 5 different Thai places in a 20 mile radius and hands down this is THE REAL THAI spot!!! Please try it and pass the word!!! Came on a Monday and Tuesday night and it was packed wall to wall both nights in a row!!! Love this place and it's our new thing! Lek drives miles out of the way so everything is fresh no pre-packaged food here y'all!!! 10 stars if they had it!!! read more

My boyfriend was craving Thai food so we decided to try this place out. We started off by ordering the papaya salad and it was delicious! It had the perfect amount of spice and sweet. I ordered the tempura vegetables, which I wasn't super impressed with, but the sauces to dip them in were really tasty. My boyfriend got the gang dang curry with chicken and it was sooooo good! The sauce was the perfect consistency and full of flavor. We'll definitely be back to try more things on the menu. read more

We're from NYC and eat great Thai food at least once per week. We were in Florida visiting my bf's family, driving back from Barefoot Beach, hungry and craving Thai when we "yelped" the restaurant nearest to us. What a great find! Food was great--we got a hot and sour soup (which was more like lemongrass soup) and a wonton soup, Pad Thai with tofu, and green curry with chicken. They were having a summer dinner special which included all of this food plus a bottle of wine for only $30. Considering all of the not-so-great food we'd had thus far on Naples, we didn't expect much. But everything was excellent! (I sound like I was paid to advertise for this place, but honestly, just a giving this place the review it deserves). Food was flavorful and delicious, wine was decent, and the service was excellent! We will be back for sure! read more

My wife (who is from Thailand) and I are part time residents of Naples and have tried all the Thai restaurants we could find to try and get authentic Thai food. A lady at the spa recommended Emon's Thai Cafe and we tried it today. What can a person possibly say when they run out of superlatives? I don't know what to say except you should go and try it for yourself. When our food arrived at the table it was immediately clear that this was the going to be an outstanding food experience. Papaya salad; just like like home! Pad See Ew; simply the best I've ever had! Kai Pad Ka-Prow; out standing! Seafood Pad Cha; it's not on the menu but ask for it! My wife started to cry tears of happiness when she tasted it! Even with all the Thai food in Chicago (our other home) we have never had Thai food as good as this! What a treasure! A fantastic find! If you want to try Thai food the way it tastes in Thailand then this is the place to go. read more
