Best Thai Restaurants in Atlanta | Eater Atlanta

"Dunwoody is home to this swanky restaurant which celebrates the vibrant Thai-Chinese neighborhood of Yaowarat in Bangkok. Look for dishes like khao soi gai (noodles comprising chicken, lime, pickled green mustard, red onions, and a quail egg in curry broth), a daily whole salt and peppered fish, and real showstoppers, including the roast duck egg noodles and jumbo prawn pad Thai. Head in for pork and shrimp shumai topped with ruby red fish roe, dumplings stuffed with a juicy pork meatball, potstickers served with a Thai Penang curry sauce, and crispy fried wontons packed with crab, cream cheese, kani kama, and green onions during dim sum brunch on the weekends. Tip: consider one of its $9.95 lunch specials or date night specials." - Carolyn Desalu
