With all of the local influencer hype when they first opened, I was expecting some delicious Thai food... Do influencers actually not give their honest review? I love the atmosphere and the touch screen ordering. Which is great, then it comes to their broken food delivery process. Each dish, appetizer, and drink arrives one by one at the counter... we ordered over 5 items total. That means that the staff literally screamed our name and asked us to get up 5 times. Could they just hold items at the counter and call us up twice? Nooooo... We were the only customers here on a Friday night, which should have been a sign. The most expensive dish we ordered was $28, which was rubbery, reheated chicken with papaya salad. I've had this dish many times at other restaurants and this version was not fresh. Some employees sat across from us on their computers and just stared the entire time, made me uncomfortable af. Maybe I was there on an off day? Will try to visit again to check out the lunch specials, maybe they will be better.
WHOA!! Gu Thai is a newly established restaurant located right across the ASSI plaza in suwanee/duluth. The interior is so pretty with wooden tables, clean polished concrete floor and very well placed decor. They serve so much yummy food here and every single one of their menu items is a must try! Each dish is savory, bright, and rich. Their average price range is about $17-20 per person, but their portions WELLLLLL makes up for it. I eat a lot and the pad thai filled me up, pause. Side note, their food isn't really spicy but you can always ask a server for some chili flakes and chili paste!! This place is also a self-order (no tipping) and self seating as well. However the server will call your name whenever your order is ready!! If you're in the area, give Gu Thai a try! I heard their lunch prices is much more appealing too.
This is an unique place that utilizes kiosk ordering and picking up at the window type of style. The food is delicious and service is quick. Parking is ample. Decor is cute. I would recommend this restaurant.
A nice option Thai food in this area. Being Thai, I'm always excited to check out Thai restaurants. It's definitely tasty and authentic enough. I didn't care for the type of noodles "ramen" they used in the barbecue noodle dish, but the pork and accompanying sauce was super delicious. They should probably make it a rice dish "khao moo dang" and it would be better. My husband loved his basil chicken dish and my son enjoyed the garlic chicken. I'm taking off one star as they forgot the appetizers and it came out mid way through our meal, and lack of to go containers. It's a self serve style place which is smart and the woman at the counter was friendly and welcomed feedback. I hope they will be successful!
Great Thai food. Self ordering kiosk though so that might throw you off initially but no tipping required due to that. Favs: Coconut soup, pad Thai, spicy basil fried rice, and mango and coconut rice. Definitely worth checking out! Edit: Went back the next day. Add Masaman Curry, spicy spaghetti and the dumplings to the list of favs. Everything ordered so far has been great. Only suggestion I would give it to have an option to specify the level of spiciness you want. This place is not spicy at all for a Thai restaurant.
Clean, convenient location. Love the self ordering kiosk. Got the pad thai, pretty good flavor. Somewhat pricey. Would come back to try some other things if ever craving thai food
I'm all about trying new places and still trying to find the best Thai restaurant in the area. Thai of Norcross went down after their relocation. Was so excited when Gu Thai's videos started going up all over social medias by different Influencers. They were right down the street from me. First of, parking sucks. Good luck trying to find parking in this mix use complex. Cars were parked all on the grass. Luckily, I found a parking, but the big tractor trailer that came after me almost blocked me in. The front door was kind of tricky when walking from the right. It looks to be split for Gu Thai in the left and a Japanese restaurant in the right, both openings covered by a curtain. Looks like all the people behind me went through the same door too when there's a closer door that leads directly into the restaurant. Ordering was kind of tricky. I realized that everything I see on the wall was not on my ordering screen bc I had to press the next page. It wasn't that obvious. Prices were not that decent either. Expect to pay at least $15+. Papaya Salad+Chicken was already $28. The scanner for payment was kind of confusing, but I succeeded. I feel bad for those that are not into technology. There was no way my parents would know what to order or do here. Foods-wise, I'm sorry to say I was really disappointed. I was going this restaurant would be my backup foods on days that I'm too tired to cook. Nam Khao was very salty, Basil Fried Rice was not good at all. I literally had 1-2 basil leaves in it and it had a smokey taste to it. Papaya Salad tasted more of a vinaigrette taste to it than unami. Only the chicken that came with it was decent. Will I come back again? Not anytime soon. I will perhaps try again after it's more situated.
My experience at Gu Thai was fantastic! They offer free parking, although spaces are limited, so it can be a bit tricky to find a spot. The self-service setup is a nice touch since it means no need to worry about tipping (which is a bonus if you're a big spender like me). The Thai tea was a 7.5/10--delicious and full of flavor, though it was a bit too sugary for my liking. I did love the bottle it came in, though, since I could keep it! The chicken pad Thai, on the other hand, was a solid 10/10. The flavor was amazing, and the portion was huge. Instead of the usual peanut taste, it had a unique blend of sweetness and spice that was a nice change from what I'm used to. Moving into their pork dumplings, this was a 10/10. The best pork dumplings I've ever had, the dumpling itself was infused with seasoning so you didn't even need sauce! I've never had a dumpling made like this so it was extremely unexpected. However, if you're a wimp with spicy foods I would NOT recommend this dish since it is very spicy.
When you walk in the door, they offer ONLY self ordering kiosks at either side of the doors. Once finished ordering you can sit anywhere. Once your food is ready, they'll call out the name at the counter. The food came out pretty quickly but did have to wait for the soup. The Pad Thai and coconut soup was delicious. The Pad Se Ew and Pad Kara Pao Chicken (very earthy-herby flavor) were okay. But would highly recommend their Pad Thai and Coconut soup.
The atmosphere is very very nice! It gives off coffee shop/cafe vibes. They have music playing but it's not too loud or overbearing. We ordered appetizers: Fried tofu 6/10 it had no flavor but the texture was nice. The sauce made it better. Crab ragoons 10/10. Curry Puff Chicken 10/10 the pastry was so soft and flaky and the meat had really good flavor. Takoyaki 6/10 it was a little too fishy for me and it needed a sauce. I loved the Thai tea! It came in a cute bottle. Overall it was a great place to try and I will definitely be back!
Our first time here, and we were thrilled! Thai options are scarce in this area, so we were overjoyed to hear they're just a ten-minute drive away. The trendy area is a great choice, with a variety of cuisines to choose from. We love the idea of ordering at the screen and picking up our food when it's ready. And the best part? No tipping! This way, they can focus on making the best food possible. I had the basil fried rice, and my partner had the panang curry. Both were absolutely delicious! We didn't have to wait long for our food, and the staff was very friendly.
I WISH I LOVED IT! All of the food we ordered was sub-par, there's definitely better places to get Thai food. The self service is easy/convenient which is a bonus, as well as the gorgeous interior. Overall just not impressed with the food at all especially for the cost. I did really enjoy the Shu-mai, that stood out the most for me!
I was a little skeptical about this place at first after reading some mixed reviews, but I'm glad I decided to try it for myself. Gu Thai's self-service model is actually a great concept--quick, efficient, and no need to worry about tipping. The restaurant is nice and clean, making for a comfortable dining experience. We ordered a variety of dishes, and the shrimp Pad Thai was easily the standout--absolutely delicious and a must-try! The papaya salad, grilled chicken, and steak rice were decent, and the Thai tea was refreshing. We also had the red curry beef, which had good flavor. Overall, a solid spot for Thai food with a unique ordering system. It seems like any early issues from when they first opened have been worked out, because my experience here was great. I'd definitely come back!

Decent Thai food across the street from the Assi plaza. Taste is good but it's on the expensive side. At least it's self-service so you don't have to pay tip. You order as soon as you walk in, then you choose your seats. They'll call your name from the counter whenever the food is ready. The thai iced tea comes in a fancy bottle with a cup of ice like a slushie. Condensed milk taste was too strong for me and there wasn't enough of the Thai ice tea flavor. We ordered the pad Thai, pad see ew, and panang curry. Panang curry was spicy even if you order mild. I personally preferred the pad Thai than pad see ew even though it's usually the other way around. Pad see ew noodles weren't as good here. Again, it's not the best but it'll suffice if you want Thai food in the area as there aren't that many options otherwise. read more

I saw this randomly on my Google Map and decided to give it a try, not disappointed at all. It was a self serving place. They have a station for water and utensils. A place to retrieve food and another counter to return plates. We ordered pad See Ew noodle non spicy for our kid and drunken noodle for the adults and mango sticky rice. Food was authentic and great. We saw the next door Japanese restaurants, definitely will return to try more. read more

Self service. Few quick items on the menu. There's a monitor were you can see your name and keep track of your order. Their Thai tea is amazing. Taste different but yummier. Bright atmosphere. Annoying table lawsuit waiting to be happen. Hope they can turn around the wooden table. My partner and I got hit on knee and toes. Overall would dine here again. read more
Walked in and we were greeted by Ms. Kita , she was amazing! The ambiance of this place is beautiful! I love that they have the baskets reminds me back home. It gave such a nostalgic feeling! It is self-service and it was nice. Reminds me of back home! The menu looks absolutely delicious! We ordered Pad Thai, coconut soup, chicken basil fried rice, and the dumpling pork. The portion for all of our order was perfect! The pad thai was delicious! We ate the whole thing. The basil was so flavorful. You can absolutely taste the basil. The dumplings presentation was beautiful , the dumplings was delicious. We asked for soy sauce with it and it was perfect! The coconut soup! Yummy! It has a ton of ingredients and love the flavor! We are definitely coming back! Ms. Kita was amazing and friendly! She made us feel super welcome! Definitely a place to visit! read more

Went back for 2nd visit, this time we are dining in. Ordered: 1. PadThai: very good flavor, better than many other Thai restaurants. 2. Massaman Chicken Curry: creamy & full of flavor. 3. Pork Shumai: it's just ok. The skin is thin & silky though. 4. Thai Tea: just as good as last time. Very consistent. Love the fact it's using crushed ice. Will be our go-to for Thai tea from now on! Place was busy. Love the upbeat ambiance with lots of sun light coming in. Owners/staffs were friendly and helpful. No tipping is expected here since it is a self served place. Ordering at kiosks & your name will be called when food is ready. No tipping memo is posted and also on the last page of credit card payment page when paying at kiosk. Our 1st visit we ordered food to-go: Spicy Basil Chicken which was very good, Nam Khao which was excellent, and the creamy delicious Thai Tea (our fav now) read more

@gu_thai_duluth recently opened. They utilize the new concept of self-ordering and paying at the kiosk first. Then you find a table and wait for your number to be called. Food come out fresh. We wanted to be more adventurous and ordered Khao Soi and Nam Khao. We were impressed with Nam Khao, every bite melted in our mouth. Khao Soi was decent, though slightly on the saltier side. Thai iced tea was $5 and was very good. We liked how it was not overwhelmingly sweet. read more
