High-end Thai, steeped in class, is like a visit to Hotel Bangkok.

by Contributor

The Scene
The black-and-white combo used on tablecloths and chairs is reiterated in classy framed photos and faux flower arrangements, creating a high-end hotel vibe in an unlikely strip-mall setting. The earliest arrival on Atlanta's fine-dining Thai scene, the restaurant wins with fancy presentations and immaculate table service.

The Food
Exotic dishes, like sauteed escargots with Asian basil and black soy broth. The soft-shelled crab with tamarind-brown butter sauce looks promising, but a bland, crunchy exterior yields an overcooked interior. Barbecued minced shrimp skewered on a hunky stick of sugarcane and a side of sweet and spicy chili sauce makes a much better appetizer. Entrees are served with haute-cuisine temperament. Best bets include the roasted duck breast layered with plum sauce atop a mashed taro concoction and grilled filet mignon over a noodle cake in an Indonesian curry.

Don't miss this!

My girfriends and I have been eating here for about 2 years now. The food is spicy, tangy, perfect, beautifully presented and not at all overpriced. Not once have I been disappointed. It has my vote for best service in Atlanta. Northlake Thai is never full, because no one has discovered it yet! Don't let the fact that its in a strip mall dissuade you. You'll be SO glad you went. If Tamarind is too crowded or you don't want to deal with Midtown traffic...this is IT!

• Pros: delicious food, awesome service, terrific value
• Cons: near Northlake Mall

Elegant presentation

by sjledet

There aren't very many great reaturants in the Tucker area that I know of, but this is definitely one.

Each of the appetizers is equisite and wonderfully presented. The soups are absolutely addictive.

If you want a nice dinner, presented well, that is worth every penny of their slighly above average pricing, this is the place for you.
