ekamai thai

we were told to wait outside in the cold .. we arrived at 4:45 and were greeted in a not so friendly way that we were 14 minutes early . we were told to wait outside and then we could come into the emptyrestaurantin 14 minutes . she was precise on the minutes . we then ordered and it was not at all worth the wait . very average presentation and came cold to the table . so many other thai restaurants to pick from that have decent hours and friendlier service .

amazing experience - 5 stars. one of the bestrestaurantin salt lake city, bar none !

my name is jay, i'm an entertainment lawyer and music producer based out of miami beach. my wife and i have a home at bald eagle, in deer valley. we visit the area once every couple of months. and when we do, we try to select a newrestaurantexperience. a few of our friends had recommended ekamai through "word-of-mouth". i looked at the reviews, and visited therestaurantlate yesterday evening (i'm used to dinning late in miami).

it was two minutes to closing, so naturally i was a little concerned about the service i would receive. the host was very professional (and young). i was the only patron in the restaurant. i picked a table and quickly ordered. the host was amazing ! he came over and made recommendations. i selected the curry chicken. we made small talk about therestaurantindustry in slc, and his background.

the food was amazing to say the least and i truly enjoyed it and the fact that i had therestaurantall to myself. the service ? great ! i go to restaurants first for their gastronomical feat, not decor. i travel the world and some of the best restaurants i have visited were "whole in the walls". in nepal, mongolia, peru, cuba, africa etc....

my experience at ekamai reminded me of a review by an individual using the pseudonym "berrymonger". it was obvious that this persons review was a "personal, vindictive, malevolent, and malicious attack on a business and a human being. i have never written a review before because i'm of the belief that if you don't like a venue, place or business....just don't go back ! any business establishment or person can have an "off day". the reason i wrote this review is principally because of the review of "berrymonger". my wife is an executive at google. utah is per capita, the leading state in the nation for review complaints. this is perhaps due to the "self-righteousness of a large portion of the population due to the culture, dominant religion, identity , religious frustration and entitled individuals (you know who i'm referring to) ! to berrymonger, you were flat out wrong and i'm calling you out !

salt lake city is home to some great thai food and ekamai might be the best. i was first introduce to ekamai and woot (the awesome owner) when russ lived above the first location on 300 south and 336 west. after frequenting ekamai on a near daily basis, russ and woot became great friends and we have been eating ekamai’s amazing thai food ever since. ekamai’s first downtown location is a fast, easy way to get some of the best thai food in the city. they have different made-to-order specials daily, but the set menu of various kids of curry and my personal favorite, the massaman beef, you can get on a regular basis. the staff is friendly, and you can get in and out for a quick lunch in no time. the food won’t disappoint. about a year ago, woot opened a second location in sugarhouse. this location is a sit downrestaurantwith a more detailed and in-depth menu. the atmosphere of this location is quirky, modern, and inviting – and you can get more of a sense of woot’s food and the array of
