What a lovely surprise! A local neighbor recommended the Thai cuisine and the second I entered the front door, I knew this place was special. The entry is a lush, tropical-inspired green oasis, which gives a pause before the interior opens up to a spacious, and comfortable dining area. 26 Thai is not “yet another” strip mall restaurant, but an “escape from the everyday”. It’s almost like taking a vacation from ATL. The kind hostess welcomes guests to decide whether be seated near the bar, or at the intimate banquettes along the perimeter. The seating is comfortable with silk pillows to comfort the back. And the walls display a collage of historic photos of Thai locations & family members. Cozy & contemporary at the same time. I visited twice. Once for dinner and then again for lunch. The ambiance is completely different, but equally as inviting. The evenings are perfect for date night, girls night out and family gatherings. The daytime is brighter & more resort-like. The music reminds me of lunch on a veranda in along the beach in Miami… cool & soothing jazz. There is a nice selection of vegetarian items, and I had a Thai Basil Vegetarian Set for Lunch today. The 3 items came out in the cutest stackable “bento” box, which I later learned is called a “pinto” box in Thailand. I am a sucker for Zero Waste & so I was dying to ask where I could find one! This would be a super cute way to start a lunch take out club for local residents or working people nearby to do a takeout subscription club, provided they would agree to return them. The one thing I can say is that the meal was aligned with “zero waste” principles, which converts me to diehard “fandom”. I spotted 3 lovely young women get tickled pink by the pretty pink glass bowls full of mango and raspberry sorbet. And then there are the orchids… sigh… pretty sprays of fuchsia orchids nestled on a table of tropical plants. Makes me want to invite a long lost local friend for a belated birthday dinner… If you are looking for an escape from the ordinary, this is a sanctuary worth sharing with a friend.

This is one of my favorite places to eat. The food is delicious and sushi always seems fresh. We have had different waiters and so far each has been enjoyable, but our last visit for MY BIRTHDAY, Crystal made me feel very special. She was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and attentive. The salmon dinner was suggested and I ate it all. Yum! Sitting in the restaurant, you can see many employees working together to take care of the people. I like that. There are only a few half booths and a small bar area, but the little tables make for an intimate setting for dates or family. Thank you for being a staple in the community!

Our visit to 26Thai tonight was nothing short of amazing. Every time we come here, the food is delicious and the service is welcoming. The staff is so friendly, from the door to the table. The menu recently changed and they now have some very interesting drink options. Our bartender tonight showed us very personal attention, making sure to thoroughly answer all questions, cater specific recommendations and carefully accommodate around my allergies. We felt at home through the whole experience and were also impressed to get this attentive care during what seemed like a busy dinner. Two other servers and a manager even checked on us as well. Thank you, 26Thai!
