Thai Emerald - Evesham in Wychavon

First visit and initial impressions were very very good. Beautiful decor, nicely presented tables and soft lighting. Only one other couple in (with one further couple joining later in the eve).Friendly staff.However, the food was poor. Really poor. Ordered the Bangkok buffet for two consisting of a starter selection and a few mains.Everything provided was so devoid of flavour and if I had to guess, had been microwaved then sent out.Chicken dishes were particularly dry and disappointing. Dishes sold as "three chilli's" in terms of spice rating (the highest the restaurant offered) lacked any body or taste. If I was offered this meal back to back with a Tesco ready meal, I wouldn't be able to pick.The waiter, though polite, suggested that Thai food doesn't tend to have any kick. Certainly not the case in my experience where Thai food has been a fresh and vibrant affair.Thai emerald isn't a particularly cheap experience and one left thinking that I'd paid purely for heating, lighting and an elaborate water feature.I honestly do not understand the 4.6 rating (at time of review), so can only assume an incredibly "off" night was had.That being said, I would never personally recommend visiting.

I've eaten at the Thai Emerald a few years ago. The staff at friendly and polite. The food is well cooked and served piping hot. For starters I had deep fried prawns in sesame seed batter my partner had Todnmun Pla, fish cakes. For main monk fish and grilled seabass in a banana 🍌 leaf with jasmine 🍚 rice. Lovely decor as per the photos of the table, elephant and Buddha statue. Will visit again.

the food is superb .the staff were very switched on and helpful.it was a monday night and there were 8 to 10 tables being used .looking forward to my next visit

Food was fantastic. Atmosphere was peaceful. Music a little to quiet. Decor is beautiful. Would have liked to drink more but service wasn't there.

I was sad to find out that Thai Emerald no longer do the Sunday buffet. The food was exceptionally well presented, the chicken was a little overdone but I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The restaurant was a delight to be in and the bathroom was beautiful also, clean throughout. Couldn't ask for more.

Great location with some links parking opposite too. Fantastic food, best I've had in a very long time! Very friendly and helpful staff, certainty visit more often. Highly recommended.

Very pleasant, comfortable Thai themed interior. Attentive and friendly staff. Vegan menu available. A little pricey but great for an occasion to splash out abit.

An amazing interior and the food was delicious with plentiful portions. Plus the fish as you head in to the dining area are photogenic. Definitely worth a visit!

More than 5 stars.....10! Lovely lovely place and lovely people, great sense ofhumor too. The food, outstanding!

Beautiful interior design, friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Stunning presentation of food, we had one of the set menus and there was plenty of food for two people. I have eaten a lot of Thai food in some of the best restaurants in Birmingham and Thailand, this one is up there with the best.
