My partner and I decided to try Tani Thai 02.20.2026 and stopped by around 6:30PM for dinner…read more First off, the interior seemed clean and well-kept. The ambiance was dark and intimate, which I appreciated -- it gave the space a cozy, relaxed vibe that felt nice for a dinner date. The music was low and soft, which worked well since most of the tables were talking pretty loudly. It didn't feel chaotic or overstimulating, and we were still able to have a comfortable conversation. Service was decent -- we were seated quickly and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Here's what we ordered: Tiger's Tears ($15) - 3/5 This was the dish I was most excited about. It's described as grilled beef with chili-lime seasoning, onions, scallions, and sweet peppers. Unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. The beef was noticeably tough, chewy, and a bit sinewy rather than tender and juicy. The chili-lime sauce was very sharp and aggressively acidic -- overwhelmingly sour to the point where it masked the savory, char-grilled flavor of the meat. It was supposed to be spicy, but as an Asian who regularly eats and enjoys spicy food, there was barely any heat at all. The dish looked vibrant and colorful, but flavor-wise it felt unbalanced and slightly one-dimensional. Basil Fried Rice with Chicken ($18) - 2.5/5 The menu labeled this as spicy as well, but again, there was zero kick. Not even a subtle warmth. It tasted like very standard, plain fried rice -- mildly seasoned, slightly oily, and lacking depth. The fresh Thai basil aroma wasn't very pronounced, and the overall flavor felt muted and underwhelming. The chicken was okay texture-wise, but the dish as a whole didn't stand out or justify the price point. It needed more heat, more fragrance, and more boldness to feel like true Thai basil fried rice. Coconut Mushroom Soup with Chicken ($5.50) - 2/5 This one was disappointing. When it first arrived, it was comforting and creamy with a light coconut aroma. Initially, it tasted balanced and mildly savory. However, as it sat and I alternated between dishes, the flavor became increasingly sour and slightly off-putting. The chicken was extremely dry, stringy, and overcooked, which made it difficult to enjoy. The broth lacked the rich, silky depth I was hoping for and ended up tasting thin, overly acidic, and somewhat flat. Thai Teas ($5.50 each) - 3.5/5 Honestly, these saved the night. Sweet, creamy, and refreshing -- exactly what you expect from a good Thai tea. Smooth, well-balanced, and flavorful. Water - 0/5 I took one sip and didn't touch it again. It tasted like straight tap water with a faint cleaning solution scent. Thankfully, we had the Thai Teas to rely on. Overall, the experience was okay but not memorable. The atmosphere and ambiance were pleasant, but the food didn't quite deliver -- especially considering how Thai cuisine is typically bold, aromatic, spicy, and layered. For us, the dishes leaned either too sour or too bland, without much balance in between. Given the prices, we were expecting more depth and stronger flavors. Not a terrible experience, but not one we'd rush back for either.

My friend and I decided to find a place to eat in downtown Buford last night. She said let's walk…read moreup and down and find a restaurant. So I randomly chose Tani Thai. I asked first if they cooked in peanut oil since I'm allergic to peanuts. The hostess told me she would check and came back and told me they cooked in vegetable oil... so we got seated pretty quickly. The service was pretty good. We ordered our food which took some time but the wait wasn't too bad. We ordered the fresh basil rolls as an appetizer, I ordered the shrimp & garlic wine and my friend ordered the tiger tears salad. We also ordered 2 cocktails a old fashioned and a lychee martini. As well as the mango with sticky rice for dessert. Let me tell you all the food was tasty and excellent. The ambiance was very cool. Definitely a cool place for a date night. I can say I will definitely be back again.

Always loved this place. Soups, curries, drinks everything is so fresh and light. Friendly FAST…read moreservice! If you're over by the Mall try it. There are several locations with different menus. All of them delicious!

We usually come for their Pho but have tried many plates and it truly never disappoints. We usually get Bobby as our server and he's so kind and always asks how we're doing and what we're up to. The restaurant is very nice and clean. It's definitely our go to spot after a few drinks. Nothing cures a hangover better than Pho! We have tried other Pho places but they don't even compete to this one. Their broth and noodles are the best. We drive about 40 minutes to come here and will continue to do so!

Great pho, excellent bahnmi and descent service (depending on who you get)…read more It doesn't say so on the menu but their pork bahnmi is pork belly meat. Everything we've ordered had far exceeded expectations given the area. The mall of Georgia area has little diversity, although quickly changing, compared to neighboring towns. This has been my favorite pho place so much so I don't feel the need to travel to Duluth for pho.

Mama's Pho is easily my new favorite pho restaurant nowadays. The interior of this pho restaurant…read moreis clean and well-maintained. It's one of the best-looking pho restaurants I've ever seen, with an upscale and sophisticated ambiance that sets it apart from typical mom-and-pop pho joints. Service is good. Staff is attentive and helpful. We were consistently checked-in, waters stayed full, orders came out in timely manner. The dining experience went smoothly. The menu is extensive. Although I've only had pho here, the pho broth is flavorful. The portions are generous and pricing is reasonable. It's worth checking out Mama's Pho!

Tucked away between Publix and UPS, this place is easy to miss--but to me, it's a hidden gem…read more HOWEVER, first things first: shoutout to Golden Phoenix for being the first place to give me all proper takeout utensils (plastic pho spoon). Not all heroes wear capes. Technically, this was my second visit. The first time, I wanted to write a review... but I tragically spilled our entire order in the car on the way home. (RIP, first impression.) So this round was my redemption meal. Everything was packed with care and precision, like a tiny takeout Tetris master handled it. Utensils, sauces, lime--all included. Not a single thing forgotten. A+ for organization. Chicken Pho: Loaded with tender chicken, flavorful broth, and enough liquid gold left over to sip the next day like a cozy little leftover gift. My 1-year-old shared it with me (tiny foodie in the making). I tossed in the hoisin, sriracha, fish sauce, and lime they provided, and boom: flavor bomb. Beef Drunken Noodles (Medium Heat): I ordered "medium" and they actually gave me medium--not "let us burn TF out of your mouth". Perfect balance. Again, the tiny foodie gave it 2 thumbs up!

Great place. I had drunken noodle, Vietnamese fish sauce chicken wings and tried the fresh pork…read morespring rolls. Previously I have had the Vietnamese crispy spring rolls, with meat. Everything was great. Crispy rolls not pictured. This is the best drunken noodle with beef I have had in twenty years. Honestly I had given up ordering it because of prior disappointment. But it was great. Got medium spicy and may ask for hot spice level next time. The green pepper and carrot were perfectly cooked with a bit of crunch left but not raw. The beef was perfectly tender and a generous portion. The wings!! I have tried these wings wherever I can find them. These were perfectly crispy with a great carmelized fish sauce glaze. It was simple. Nothing fancy but perfectly done. Try them. Umami bomb! Not too fishy. Just flavor. Sweet, salty, crispy and juicy. The fresh spring roll was great too. I don't like when they are overstuffed with lettuce to make them look bigger. There was plenty of pork, vermicelli, cucumber and coriander (cilantro). Again, flavorful bites with the peanut sauce to round it out. The only thing I am upset about is I just found this place and it is just down the road from me.. so excited! The family that runs it is kinda and attentive. They have Chinese, Thai and added Vietnamese during covid when they took over. Everything is made with care. I tried their bahn mi on my previous visit and it was good but would go to a bahn mi place in norcross that specializes in bahn mi instead. This place is for great meals. Not just a sandwich grab. Hope you enjoy it

At lunch special. We did get seafood so it bumped each up to $19.95. Lunch special? It would be okay if it were amazing, but it was just pretty good. Unfortunately the seafood was not up to par. The squid pieces were charred and super chewy. I love squid, and yes, its supposed to be chewy, but not so much you can't really eat it. The mussels looked charred and gross and I did not eat it. The curry was tasty, and the drunken noodles were good enough. I think a give away that its not a traditional Thai restaurant is they dont have vinegar and jalapeño, which is pretty much at every authentic Thai restaurant. They only had vinegar. Service was a bit strange. We and one other group were eating but even with 2 staff, it was hard to get their attention. I had to walk up to them because they wouldn't come by or look over. Alas, the search for excellent Thai in the area continues.

I really like the food here. We end up here at least 1x/week for lunch…read more They are an Asian restaurant, with Chinese, Thai, and Sushi on the menu. I have not tried their Sushi, but it does look fresh. Service is great - as soon as you are shown to a table, one of the 2 waitresses are at your side, offering drinks. The food is out about 5 minutes later. It is always boiling hot. While I like the food, it is not very spicy or flavorful. This is fine with me, but occasionally I like a bit more flavor. I add some low-sodium soy sauce - good to go! No MSG used here. Ambiance - typical suburban 'Asian' restaurant interior. It is clean (as are the bathrooms).

Our server was not interested in serving us. I noticed several eye rolls when she saw we were being seated in her section and again after asking for our drinks. She also handled our food with the same gloves she handled the pens and payments. Gratuity (20%) was automatically added on to the tab. The food: 0/10 due to the lack of flavor. I'm over it.

I'd been to the Erawan in Sandy Springs several times over the year and absolutely loved the food,…read moreso while family was in town for the holidays we decided to pop in to this location for dinner. First, the staff is absolutely amazing. We called ahead to see if they could accommodate a table for 10 and they were happy to oblige. We got there and they had a table ready to go and sat us right away. The waitress was so sweet and really took the time to answer questions and crack jokes with us. Truly made us feel at home in their restaurant. The food was chef kiss! We ordered the shrimp tom kha to start and spicy catfish as the main course. Both were delicious and the spice level was just right. The spicy powder and sauce on the table added a little extra for those of us that tend to like a tad more heat. Other orders at the table: drunken noodles, green curry, red snapper, duck, fried rice, and spring rolls. Everything was so good we barely had any left overs at the end of the meal. Definitely recommend this place if you're in the area. So glad we got the opportunity to dine with them!
