2025 August 20, 17:37 Elkin NC Update: As I often do.. I circle around to establishments that i have already reviewed to see what changes have taken place. The food on the menu has changed. Which is to be expected from time to time. Old favorites leaving and new explorations showing up. I was a particular fan of the fried dumplings and broccoli and beef items. Both of which are now gone The dumplings they now serve just do not replace the exciting flavors of the old. The new being bland and nothing to write home about. The basil fried rice was also changed. Dry and bland, lacking the excitements of flavor it once had. The customer service is as good as always. But with the current change i am not as thrilled with the loss of their exclusive flavors which once permeated the food. read more

I ordered Basil fried rice with chicken. Dish comes, no sign of basil, no aroma, just lots of green pepper, broccoli and onion in rice with an over powering flavor of green pepper. I asked the waiter and his response was "we are out of basil". How about you tell someone you are out of the main ingredient of a dish, especially when that ingredient is actually in the name of the dish. read more

Great food. There was one complication were my wife ordered papaya salad, and wasn't told until about 10 minutes later they did not have that. Service was relaxed, and some would consider it slow. But I still say 4 stars. read more

Have been going for some time and was happy with food, but last few times the food wasn't up to par. For the price I feel food should be better. Was told by a few different people to go to Mt Airy Thai Cafe, the food is much better. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch during my first visit to Elkin. I really enjoyed the Panang Curry Chicken and spring rolls. My Panang curry was rich and creamy with perfectly cooked vegetables. The spring rolls were skillfully rolled and were very fresh. The menu had all our favorite traditional Thai items, we can't wait to stop in for dinner. Our server was polite and everything came out very quickly. I have a feeling they do a great job with to go orders. Will be back soon! read more

Absolutely love the food here. Authentic and delicious. The Tom kah hot pot is probably one of the best renditions of this classic thai coconut soup we have ever had. Generous portions and friendly staff. We stop through and grab food to go as often as we can since we live 45 minutes away. read more

There food is consistently good. A nice variety and they serve beers and wine. The special wine for nite was pear or plum sake. This has turned out to be my fave Thai place for there flavorful wonton soup. You must try a bowl or a hotpot of it. The Thai salad was excellent as well, a light but filling meal in itself.

Prime Thai - Chicken in the nest - Thai Near Me - Elkin, North Carolina

Easily the bestAsian food in elkin no question. Awesome family run place. Quiet indoor dinning with outdoor option as well.

This is my favorite local food. Sometimes we eat in, there is a decent selection of craft and Asian beer and wine, but it is a very small dining room. Mostly we get takeout, and my entree is always enough for the next day's lunch. My daughter and I like their tofu and veggie basil rolls. I order lots of different things - fried rice, dishes with white rice, and all the noodle dishes. They will also make substitutions if you ask, and requests like "no egg" are always met. I am a fan! read more

Not open for dine in. Not mentioned on yelp or google. Drive 30 min out of the way but was disappointed. The greeter/ server was kind and polite. read more

Excellent service. Loved the veggie wraps. Pad Thai was nice and spicy. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Restaurant was being remodeled so had to sit outside So one star off. read more

Best restaurant in town in my opinion. The folks at Prime Thai are great and the food is outstanding!

Consistently fresh, delicious and healthy. Best Thai food I've ever had in my life! Staff is always professional and kind.

We weren't sure if we would stay here for dinner because it is carry out only at this time - but we did and NEVER regretted it. Best Thai food we've had for years! The pad Thai was on point, beef salad was to die for and the green curry was amazing. Chicken satay was pretty tasty, as well. Do not let the take out only status scare you away. Go there today!!! read more

Clean well staffed little place on bridge street. Due to COVID it's take out only currently. I'm a bit of Asian food snob having traveled all over the world. With that in mind I won't give it five stars. However for small town North Carolina this place is great. Portions are good quality is great it's just a little more Americanized than purist will like. It's well worth a visit and a place I regularly visit ! read more

**I believe the name of this restaurant has changed to Prime Thai. I never expected to find such good Thai food in a small town like Elkin. We started off having the delicious fresh vegetable basil roll (what some places call the summer roll) with a rich peanut sauce. Yum! It was perfect for two and extremely fresh. I ordered a Thai Iced Tea and it was delicious. We then enjoyed the papaya salad. The flavor was tasty and bright but we found it strange that it came on a bed of iceberg lettuce. That detracted from the dish a bit. For the main course we had the Seafood combo green curry. It was awesome. The only thing was that the scallops were missing (and we weren't told about it), but it really did not alter the flavor. So good! Also, the prices are typical for Thai food. Overall reasonably priced and delicious. We just moved to town and this will be one of our regular stops. read more

Terrific Asian food and consistently good service. My wife and I have enjoyed lunch here several times. A little hard to find, but well worth checking out this restaurant. My only suggestion is that the owners of the business put a sign near the road to identify their establishment. read more

Good food. Mark and I had an order of basil rolls then he had red curry and I had sizzling duck. The curry has good flavor with just a little kick. The duck has lots of vegetables and the duck is beautiful. The restaurant itself is unimaginative but pretty typical of Asian places, Formica tables and benches. But hey, the food is good and that's why we're here. read more

Delicious food with a great selection! The staff was friendly and service was fast. We would definitely eat here again. I wish it was closer to my home! read more

Oh my goodness this place is a gem! I'm a bit ashamed I was skeptical when friends who visited Elkin a few months ago recommended Prime Thai for our trip this weekend. I'm extremely picky with Thai food. To be honest, I'm just picky with restaurants in general and rarely write reviews. It's an unassuming little place but when we arrived and opened the car doors the aromas hit me. All the wonderful scents of Thai cuisine in the parking lot! The staff were wonderful, attentive and engaging. The menu choices are extensive so my skepticism kicked in again and was quickly squashed. As a party of four we had a nice sampling of the menu. Appetizers were on point. My Tom Khu was so good I would have gone for seconds if I hadn't ordered a main. The portions are generous so plan to share and experiment. My husband, who isn't as big a fan of Thai cuisine as I am told the matradee we'd see him in six months (we routinely visit Elkin twice a year), I'd call that high praise. If you're new to Elkin or just passing through and love Thai food I/we highly recommend Prime Thai. We'll see you in six! Before then if we're lucky. read more
