    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!

    #10 (Spicy Basil Chicken Fried rice)  Dumpling (Pork)
    Danilo A.

    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!

    #11 (Papaya Salad Grilled Chicken)
    Duke N.

    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!

    I had never tried Laotian food before, but after reading numerous positive reviews online, my…read morecousin and I decided to sample a variety of dishes from the Lao Platter. This platter included papaya salad, vegetarian egg rolls, fried wings, noodles, pork sausage, meatballs, and more, all for under $40. Everything was delicious! I'm not exactly sure what ingredients are in Nam Khao, but it was so tasty that I couldn't stop eating it along with the sticky rice. I would definitely visit again. The waiter was very nice and gave us extra tissues and plates.

    The pork belly and steak dishes made 3 of us sick unfortunately…read more The pork belly was very tasty ofc. The steak was tender but saltless and the sauce with it didn't really add anything but mellow sweetness. The fried egg-rice was interesting but also saltless so I only liked it with the pork belly and the pork belly dipping sauce. (no salt on the table for me to add) The place was empty except the Ubereats drivers talking super loudly on the phone for 15min at a time, kinda ruined half of the dinner; it was so abrasive at a shouting level. Waitresses were nice but rarely saw them to be able to ask for anything. When they did come by, I was already trying to get out asap. I first tried this place back in Doraville and wanted to support them, but I can't stretch my ignorance that far to be ok getting sick from $50 of dinner, 18% tip for being handed a plate and disappear, and the mood killing loud talking of delivery drivers coming in and out turning this Michelin Guide "Inspectors' Favorite" venue into a DMV/gas station ambiance. Additionally, the owner or whoever runs their social media has been chewing people out on Google reviews. Some of the complaints seem legit and some of their responses are giving petty mean-girl. Just makes me not want to go back there even more.
