Loved the pineapple fried rice! It was well seasoned and had a good variety of flavors. There is a 20% extra charge for dining in due to worker shortage so we did take out. The food came out within 5-6 minutes so it was super fast. Definitely want to come back and try the other dishes!
The presentation alone>>> I had crab meat fried rice with mango sticky rice as a dessert. It was fresh and so good. The sticky rice was better than I could've imagined. The khao soi is also really good. Unmatched. Would love to see more locations throughout Georgia
Spoon Eastside will spoil with their food! Since enjoying the food here, I am so picky about any other Thai restaurant because it just doesn’t measure up to Spoon for me! The cocktails are really solid too. Make sure to try out the Lychee Martini. Run by a wonderful family who really cares about their customers, employees, and community.
Spoon used to be my FAVORITE THAI restaurant in Atlanta. I have not been since the pandemic and went last week. The service was sub par and the food was not as fresh as it was known for. I had the Thai Basil fried rice and sweet chili chicken wings. The wings were small and taste of old grease and not as crispy breaded and larger as it once was. Even the sauce was thick and and firm.Half of the restaurant seating area has been used as storage and covered with drapes. The back by the restrooms smells rancid, which all in all made my stomach turn.The maître d', if you want to call it that, made us order in the front even before we were seated. He was not inviting and had an " It is what it is" type of mannerisms.Since this WAS my favorite Thai Restaurant, I will try one more time bc everyone has moments of reconstruction. Hopefully I came at a bad time and the redemption is better.

I really wanted to love this place but the pad Thai was just a little underwhelming. I expected a mix of distinct elements; this was a fairly homogeneous bed of noodles. Overall flavor was good, but not as spicy as I imagined 'medium spicy' would be.My dining companions enjoyed their own dishes very much, I'll be back for something else soon.Restaurant was very clean and staff were friendly.
Nice Thai restaurant to visit. The set up confused me at first. I asked the server if I could sit at a table to which he confirmed. After about three minutes, I observed four young men enter the establishment and wait in line at the cashier that precedes the dining area and then give their order. I moved to the bar and told the bartender and he relayed that I was supposed to order at the cashier first and then seat myself. More clarity on this issue would have been appreciated. The food was pretty good. I enjoyed the Pad Zu most. I tried the blueberry spring rolls for dessert to never having heard of them (the bartender confirmed they are an original concept) and they contained blueberries (I think it was more blueberry compote and a small amount at that), chocolate, and some kind of cheese which I do not recall (it was one I haven't heard of). Although I liked, it would have to be an acquired taste (in other words, I need a reason to indulge again LOL). The menu is diverse as the dishes are separated into rice, noodles, and curry along with sauce(s) and protein(s). Nice touch. There is also a diverse alcoholic beverage menu which is full of original drinks. All in all, I enjoyed my visit and will swing by again when near. Highly recommend.
It's fine... I'm always hopeful when I see a highly (4.5+) rated thai spot, but deep down I always know it's gonna be the same and this was indeed more of the same.Really friendly and quick though. interior looked cool but didn't dine in.
After trying four other locations we ended up driving a little further out to find this place. We were excited about finding tai food. We were told it would be 30 minutes because they were swamped with take out orders. I also think they were understaffed (like so many other unfortunately). The only reason for the missing stars is the 20% additional fee for dinning in.
I moved to Atlanta in June, and this is by far my favorite restaurant I have found thus far. Everything I’ve had off of the menu is delicious, flavorful, and has a wonderful amount of heat. The drinks are all so good, and I am currently working my way through trying all of them. The staff is all very friendly and easy to chat with. I highly recommend!
