Great place to Thai one on!

by dnageek

I love this place. It's my favorite Thai restaurant in the area, and is a favorite meeting spot for business lunches. The staff is great and Simon (great waiter) always remembers my name!

Highly recommend it!

• Pros: Great Food, friendly staff

Example: great place for good bread

by filmfreaknick

This is a really wonderful restaurant. My initial interest was the clever name and convenient, however off the beaten path, location. After my first bite of sashimi I knew I had found a jewel. With a softly lit, comfortable ambiance and quick, pleasant service this restaurant is sure to please. I especially suggest the Sushi and Sashimi Boat Dinner for Two as it is a great deal and allows you to enjoy a wide variety of foods. My favorite waitress, May, is almost always there and simply one of my very favorite waitresses in the city. Even on evenings that I am not particularly in the mood for sushi I'll come in to see her. She has memorized my tastes and always has my drink in hand when she realizes I'm at her table. She even remembers most of my friend's preferences. All around this is a grand restaurant and you have every reason to go check it out.

• Pros: Best sushi I've had in town
• Cons: Location

Best Sushi Ever

by Joynetta

I work about a half of a mile from Thaicoon, and I tell ya--I visit this place at least twice per week for lunch. The sushi is great and the servers are the friendliest ever! They suggest new dishes as well as special chef rolls (sushi neophytes, try the teriyaki salmon roll--to die for!). Everything from the miso soup to the fried icecream is simply delicious. I have never had one sushi roll at this place that I didn't enjoy--believe me, I've tried them ALL! It's a great way to eat tasty and healthy food. I have converted about ten of my coworkers into sushi-holics by bringing them to Thaicoon. Enjoy and eat up!

• Pros: Fresh and tasty sushi-ALWAYS
• Cons: Dimly lit bathroom

Most Authentic Thai food in ATL

by joshdparks

Best Thai food in ATL. They have great service and it is very authentic. Monday and Tuesdays are good if you like sushi since they have a one dollar menu. Sunday is great if you like authentic Thai food since they being out their specials that day. I have been to Thailand and I can tell you that this place is the closes to the real thing that you can get.

• Pros: Very authentic and has hard to find items
• Cons: NONE

Lovely food and even lovelier people

by cashewlulu

In my book, the folks at Thaicoon & Sushi are now and have always been some of the nicest, most friendly, most accommodating, most gracious restaurant people I have ever encountered. Ever. Anywhere. My family has been going there since it opened. We especially like to go on Sundays and try some of the authentic Thai dishes. By the looks of the other diners, this is the real deal for Thai food. We are always treated like appreciated customers -- almost like family. Service is prompt and attentive without being overdone. Ask about what's not on the menu -- especially Sunday deserts -- and don't be shy to ask about things on the non-English Thai menu. Everyone there is happy to help you find your way through the list to things you know you love but don't recognize in the Thai language to things you never even knew to try before. The Pad Thai never disappoints. It's a bit different than the standard with its thinner noodles and delicate sweetness -- so delicious. I also love the Japanese dishes and find the sashimi to be as fresh and lovely as any I've had anywhere. Super Crunch -- yum! This place really deserves a shot.

• Pros: So friendly and accommodating; delicious food; lots of dining options
• Cons: The one and only thing I don't like are the non-absorbent napkins. But the hot towels before the meal more than make up for that!

Great food, very rude and unfriendly staff

by lhey

I have visited this place at least twice every month over the past year. The food is great! But the consistently rude service is annoying. I tried talking to the manager (well, the person who they pointed out as manager) but it did not help. The only reason I keep going there is cos of the food. If you don't mind rude service, unsmily faces and all that goes with it, its definately a place to go.

• Pros: Good food
• Cons: Unfriendly and rude staff

This place is addictive

by tango79

This place is a hidden gem. We eat here at least once a month and have never had a bad meal or bad experience with the staff. The combination Thai and Japanese menu is great, b/c you can have a little bit of everything.

• Pros: low cost, quality sushi, varied menu selection
• Cons: strip-mall atmosphere

Casual Thai spot off Briarcliff does better-than-average sushi in an unassuming strip mall.

by Jonathan Baker

In Short
A glowing orange neon sign boldly displays Thaicoon's location in a decades-old Kroger strip mall off Briarcliff Road. The interior feels like a mediocre suburban chain and menus are delivered with plastic inserts showing pictures of the sushi selection. With everything it has going against it, Thaicoon's kitchen simply forgot that's it's supposed to be bad. Service is sharp and to the point. The sushi is affordable, and while not up to MF's standard, is certainly in the same ballpark as the ever-popular Harry and Son's. Serving both Japanese and Thai foods is usually a bad sign, but Thaicoon's Pad Thai is just as good as the Japanese cucumber salad counterpart. On Sundays the restaurant goes old-school with a real-deal, non-Americanized menu, driving those of Thai decent to flock to this little spot. It's not much o look at, but it excels in what counts.

Fantastic & Authentic

by demianoz

I was amazed yesterday. My girlfriend is Thai and new to Atlanta--this is where her friends go, this is where she goes, and she took me while I was visiting. I'm a chef and try to recreate traditional recipes but they slapped me in the face with their food. The simplest special of yard-long beans with chiles and nam pla and I think some miniature boiled peanuts...blew my mind. Light, yet filling, and it's nice to have someone that speaks Thai to help you a litle bit. Go on Sundays--specials galore. Sea urchin roll. Tasted of the sea. Wonderful! Oh yeah---Tom Yum also. Support the good places regardless of strip mall locations!

• Pros: FOOD!
• Cons: Takes some searching
