The food here is pretty good, but not necessarily my favorite Thai in the area. I ordered the Pad Thai and enjoyed it! It was good quality but also had a stronger flavor than I'm used to with Pad Thai. Portion sizes and prices were reasonable and it came out pretty fast too! My main complaint is that the service afterward was really slow and we ended up having to stand up and grab someone to ask for boxes and a check. I'd recommend trying it out but won't go out of my way to come back over other Thai restaurants. read more

Golden Thai - Pad thai - Thai Near Me - Orem, Utah

Overall, a pretty cheap Thai place with good food. I came here on a Thursday night around 6 for a birthday dinner with some friends and while the service was a little slow, the food made up for it in flavor and quality, in my opinion. I may have given this place 5 stars if it weren't for the service. Our table and one other table in the restaurant were the only ones that were filled. I can't imagine that they didn't have enough help in the kitchen to serve us in a faster fashion, but maybe that was the case! I'll assume the best and not let it taint my opinion. Additionally, when our server found out we were there for my birthday, she brought out a HUGE dessert with fried bananas and scoops of ice cream and spoons for the whole table! They definitely know how to make you feel like a valued customer, and I will definitely be back in the future to try the curry! read more

Golden Thai - Menu - Thai Near Me - Orem, Utah

Honestly, not a lot to say here. It is a great option for Thai food, but not the absolute best I've had in the area. The service was pretty slow and it took us forever to flag down a waiter to get the check so we could leave. But the food was yummy, good portion sizes, reasonable pricing, and my leftovers the next day were just as good! A solid choice if you are in the mood for Thai. read more

Golden Thai - Pad See Ew - Thai Near Me - Orem, Utah

Delicious food for when I want to spend a bit more to not get fast food. For me there weren't any left overs in the entree, but I was also hungry that night so maybe you could get another meal out of it. Not that spicy, I would've like to see a bit more, but that's average for Thai. Not the regular peanut sauce with the spring rolls, more of an oil base?, but I enjoyed it. Pretty good cream cheese wontons as well. Would recommend read more

stopped here for dinner on our way to the movie theater with some friends. Was seated right away, and the service was friendly and prompt. Food came out and was good. I'll be at my dish was extremely spicy. I don't mind spicy food, but I asked for a medium spice dish and this was way hotter than that. Would probably stop here on our way again if we were headed to the movie theater. read more

Let me talk about why this is one of the best Thai food places in town: The food. Although advertised as Thai, you get an assortment of awesome dishes from the SE asia region here--Thai, Vietnamese, and Laotian. For newcomers, students, and Asian food epicureans alike, go for the golden Thai curry. If you want something a little light the S7 pho is solid and has all your usual beef fixings, and the usual vegetable plate of mint, bean sprouts, and lime (I also heard the Papaya salad is good). For appetizers the standard egg rolls include a delicious sweet and sour fish sauce, and the spring rolls are a banger with awesome peanut sauce. Top off your meal with a mango sticky rice for dessert too. The people. Whether you're a local, student, or out of state implant, know that by dining here you are supporting a family-owned establishment. Marina is so polite and funny, I absolutely enjoy chatting with her between ordering, eating, and asking for the check. The owner and chef Kham is cool too and will come out to great new customers. They are super courteous and really care about serving the highest quality dishes to their customers. The space. The restaurant is Asian but not in the orientalist sense. There are many paintings, decorations and statutes that resonate with what makes SE Asian culture unique. You'll definitely enjoy the atmosphere here. Closing thoughts. If you're in the area or new to Orem/Provo and in the mood for SE Asian food, this is the place to go. Honestly it's going to be a banging spot really soon so try it out before it gets too busy! To the establishment: I love your restaurant! The sauce near the Sriracha is a sweet plum sauce that I've grown up tasting eating at all the Viet restaurants I've gone to. You can probably label it as "plum sauce" so that others can know about it and experience how great it is with Sriracha. For those who probably eat family style, feel free to ask if chopsticks and extra bowls are needed. If possible, I would love to see some sort of loyalty card for people who come here regularly. For example, 10 visits = 10 stamps on a loyalty card that gets customers a free dessert or Thai iced tea (use a really unique stamp!). Customers would also be interested if to-go is available, I would definitely love to order over the phone. Thanks and I look forward to dining here again! -Mythical Glutton Beast read more

Food is always amazing! And the service is great!! Drunken noodle, pinnacle curry, Tom Kha!! Wow!!!

We are from Portland, OR and we know authentic, good Thai food, if that's what you want, this is your place! The owners are also the cooks and are welcoming, serve very fresh, perfectly seasoned dishes. Their signature Golden Thai curry is scrumptious. Drunken noodle, Tom Kah soup, on it goes. Tell them Margaret and Captain sent you read more

Hello Utah and distant travelers, hoping you all have fuel efficient cars as gas is going back up due bad Biden administration policy and this of course impacts your pocketbook and your ability to eat out. If you can afford to, suggesting you give this establishment at try as I found it lived up to the 4+ rating and was my first try at Thai here in Utah. Got here at about 8:15 Friday night which was nice beating the bewitched dinner bell. Place has plenty of room for groups and was sat down quickly. Got the menu and ordered two entrees, the Pad gra prow - ground chicken with veggies in a spicy brown sauce and white rice. The waitress asked if I liked hot, and acknowledged with a "bring it on"! Flavor was wonderful, plenty crisp veggies with ground up chicken bits, now the spiciness was a 1, not a 3 so no sweating but then again spicy for me might might mean something different to ur palette. The second dish was the shrimp fried rice. Plenty of shrimp and the rice was cooked perfectly, not greasy or oily which is key and flavor was better than expected. I polished off the Pad on prem and brought home half the of the fried rice. Service was great, it looks like a lot of repeat diners come here. I will back and will bring a friend and if on the second it passes muster, will consider a 5 rating. read more

Best Thai food I have found in Utah county so far. Love their curries, their golden Thai is tasty but not too spicy. There red curry is delicious. We always get their chicken pad Thai, I would say that it's probably what stands out the most from others. read more

It was so delicious I forgot to take pictures after the appetizer. We had Pad Thai, Broccoli Beef & Pumpkin Curry. Each dish had unique and interesting flavors. The pad Thai is traditional and delicious - not too wet and at 3 stars enough heat but not too much for the novices. I add extra spice always! The Beef was rich and flavorful. The veggies were not over steamed - toothsome but still tender. The pumpkin curry is on a level of its own...pure coconut milk with layers of goodness throughout. Service is always fantastic - the owner remembers every time you are in. A perfect lunch or dinner spot. read more

Golden Thai - Thai Near Me - Orem, Utah

Greetings by Marina started our first visit off right! She, her husband, and son run this place on their own and do a great job with flavorful, ingredient-packed, and generous quantity choices. The Panang has a rich flavor, with about 1-star of natural heat. Pumpkin curry (winter squash, if you don't know) here is filled with chunks of goodness and a 1-star spice (not typical of traditional pumpkin curry, but not so hot that it wasn't easy to eat; I'm not a spicy-heat fan but can handle 1-star). Holy smokes on the Tom Kah Gai soup, our favorite of all Thai foods. The creamy coconut brother pairs nicely with lemongrass, button mushrooms, and chicken (you can ask for other meats, but "Gai" means chicken). We highly recommend this soup over the Tom Yum (that's a red, more of a tomato soup that's good but not like Tom Kah). We appreciate the large bowl of rice vs. other restaurants that bring it out in a small cup. We'll bring some friends with us next time and tell everyone who likes Thai that we've added another favorite restaurant to our list! read more

Golden Thai - Thai Near Me - Orem, Utah

What a wonderful dining experience with the friendliest & most welcoming staff paired along with delicious Thai food that's honestly some of the best in all of Utah county. We were greeted as soon we came in with smiles and ushered to a comfy table near the window. We started with the Tom Kha Gai which is my favorite Thai soup and Golden knows what they're doing because this was fabulous. Rich coconut flavor, cilantro, tender chicken. We also had the Panang and pumpkin curry. I recommend getting the Panang with beef. The curries here have a deep rich flavor that's rarely found. The meat very tender. We he pumpkin not too soft. Lots of peppers and other ingredients. They also do not skimp one rice which is so nice. Most places under serve rice but not here. More than enough to go around. Will definitely be back. read more

Golden Thai - Mango sticky rice - Thai Near Me - Orem, Utah

Amazing curry. The best I've had. The massaman Curry is amazing. Add slice of level 5. Perfect. Service was great.

Disclaimer: I am not an easy person to please. So, keep that in mind as you read my review. I do not say anything of these things lightly. Just had drunken noodles here and they were delicious! And that's saying a lot because I'm SUPER picky about this dish! The lady who helped me (I'm not sure if she was the owner or not) was so awesome! She was very friendly and I received 5-star customer service. Since both the food and the service both blew me away, I'm a customer for life. Can't wait to go back and try more of their food! Highly recommend this place. read more

Truly a hidden gem! We went at 6:00PM on a Saturday and were seated immediately and served quickly. We had green curry, drunken noodles, cream cheese wantons, and the spring rolls. They were all excellent. Our favorite was the drunken noodles. The staff was helpful and friendly throughout the meal. Great, cozy date spot. Would recommend! read more

Casual dining Thai restaurants with the same collection of curries and plates practically line the major roadways. Sometimes it's hard to tell them apart. Golden Thai definitely ups the ante. The wife had her standard dish to test the waters. The most popular dish around Massaman Curry. The sauce was more unctuous. The flavors a bit deeper. I had the Pad Nam Prik Phow. It's my go to dish to see if they can keep the sugar down and the spice up. They did a pretty good job of it. I had the spice level 8. It matches pretty close to an 8 at other places around town. I'll need to kick it up a bit next time to see if they keep the balance working. The veg was al dente. The sauce pretty balanced. We had the lunch special. Another time, we'll do the full entrees. Like many other places, you get a pot sticker/dumpling with the meal. Unlike other places, it's nicely fried and completely filled with nice filling. It is significantly better than any other place around town. The wife got some green tea. Surprisingly, it was a tea bag in a styrofoam cup. It came with a glass of ice in case it needed cooling. It wasn't all that hot to start with. Not hot enough to properly brew the tea -- if it was actual leaves and not a bag. They are trying to walk into better than casual dining. You can make a reservations through the website. That could be real handy. I'm still deciding if it's as good as it gets, but it's pretty close. We'll see what happens. One thing that's happening at this time is an awful lot of people are filing their first or second review ever and gushing a little too much. When there's 25 not recommended and only 2 recommended reviews, that usually means a place being a little too aggressive suggesting they give good reviews. That said Yelp was never mentioned while I was there, and we spent a reasonable amount of time talking to one of the family that owns the place. Whatever the reason, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. None of that changes that everything else was a step above. read more

I've been to many Thai restaurants in Utah county, but this new opened one is definitely the best, I will go over there again whenever I'm striving for authentic Pad See Ew! First of all, it's the environment, super clean, quiet and well-decorated, it gives you good feeling while you are dining there.Both the owner and the waitress are super sweet and willing to help at any time! Second, the authentic Thai food. I ordered the Mango Sticky Rice, Pad See Ew, Thai Iced Coffee and a yellow curry stew. This Thai restaurant's Mango Sticky Rice is the only one who doesn't put too much sugar to fulfill the Americans' insane sweet tastes, which is great! It tastes a lot more fresh and healthier. But my favorite dish among all is their Pad See Ew with pork, gosh it brought me to heaven! No watery sauce, I love how they cook the wide rice noodles with eggs and meat, super authentic! read more

Decent, but not great by any stretch. I would have probably rounded up to four stars, but I do NOT appreciate it when the server presents you with one of the new table side pay methods (clover, square, etc) and the default tip options are 18%, 20%, and 30% and stands there waiting. What happened to 15% and more importantly a little privacy and discretion? As for the food, the peanut sauce was watered down and super thin and the pad Thai was overly sweet. The combo curry was pretty good albeit somewhat mild. The chili stir fry was a nice try, but seemed lacking. The pho was pretty good - especially for Utah County, although I'm not sure it was enough to bring me back. read more

This was our first time at this Thai restaurant with high recommendations so were wondering if this was an off night, with the staff and kitchen, but this was our experience tonight. We ordered pad Thai and Tom Kah Gai with potstickers for appetizers. The potstickers were just average but the soy sauce was too salty and vinegary. Then we waited 30-40 minutes for the rest of our food to come out. The Pad Thai was overly sweet and tangy. There was maybe a teaspoon and a half of chopped peanuts, no cilantro, no sprouts, no peppers, no green onion- nothing that would give it a distinguishing flavor and it came out to the table warm not hot. The tom kah gai soup was ok with plenty of mushrooms, carrots, green onions and just hot enough that it could be eaten right way. No one cleared our table when we were through eating and we waited an hour to get our bill even after we asked for it several times and eventually were told the only one who knew how to do it was the owner. Hmmm..... By the way we almost gave this place of one but we thought during this time of Covid being generous and bumping it up would be the right thing to do. read more

We ordered the pad Thai and chef curry. The curry is pretty good with beef. The pad Thai, however, is the worst pad Thai I've ever had. The overwhelmingly sweet flavored sauce is pretty much the only thing I can taste in the dish. It's not fried noodles anymore, more like red sauce noodle soup. But other than that, the curry is good, and the service is good. read more

My favorite Thai in Provo. Pad See Ew is always my go to, but I always end up liking the curry that my girlfriend gets just as much if not more. She is nice to share.

Staying at the hotel across the street and decided to give it a try. The waitress was great, friendly and funny. Food was great, curry was creamy and flavorful, with perfect mix if vegetables and meat. I ordered my curry at a 6 spice level ( out of 10) and asked for a chili/spice table tray, and it didn't disappoint. Restaurant was clean and had the light aroma that you expect from a place making fresh Thai food. Will definitely be back next time in town. read more

Golden Thai has become a new favorite of my husband and I. They're far superior in quality to every other Thai place in the area. The curries have rich flavors (The mango and the pineapple are the best in my opinion) and the spices they use are more complex than just "spicy". The thai tea is a necessity with every meal, not overly sweet, but hits the spot with every sip. For dessert, you can't go wrong with the golden donuts. They are light, fluffy, and always fresh. Their mango sticky rice is amazing. Very sticky, almost rolled out flat. Different from what I've had around here, but amazing nonetheless! The staff is super friendly and add even more to the overall experience of this great new joint. read more

From LA looking for authentic Thai food in Orem. It took us over an hour to find the perfect Thai place. We stumbled upon this beautiful cute cozy gem in Orem. It is located in an attractive plaza called University Mall. We spoke with the restaurant's owner since we came during lunch on an overcast day, and it was perfect for this type of food. Come to find out, its a mix of Laotian/Thai food, so in my opinion, its EVEN BETTER! We had golden Thai wings, egg rolls, fried rice, drunken noodles, and tom kah gai soup. All the dishes were excellent and delicious! We highly recommend it if you're looking for authentic Thai/Laotian food. read more

Best take out Thai food in the area. The owner is personable and always remembers me. I'm taking away 2 stars because dine in isn't my favorite. The waiters/waitresses lack great costumer service skills and almost seem annoyed with us when we ask for things. I also can't stand that they ask for a tip on take out before I've even received my food. You want 20% when all you have to do is hand me my food?? However their food is great and it's one of our favorite dine it date night meals. read more
