Eem Khao

I’ve already tried it, and the food tastes great! It’s a refreshing and unique Thai-Chinese restaurant in this area. Today, I had the Phuket Fish Balls, Nam Prik Pao Chicken, Khao Man Kai, Khao Kha Moo, and Gway Tiew Gai Toon — and they were all absolutely delicious. I was really impressed, and I truly felt the ‘Eem Khao’ spirit. I highly recommend you come and give it a try!

Love the food we had, especially our apps. Indoor seating area would require reservations but there is also a patio option. Our server was excellent.

This little restaurant is an absolute gem. We tried a few of the rice dishes and they were perfection. The meats were so flavourful and sauces were incredible. The rice has so much flavour and depth, same with the soup they serve with it. Can’t wait to try allll the dishes. 10/10

Went there for lunch for the first time and I'm impressed! Food and drinks are absolutely delicious. Everything tasted super fresh, good portions and super friendly service. 100% recommend

Had a whole bunch of apps and they were all good! I got the pad mee hokkien and I highly recommend it if you like seafood noodles! Great atmosphere and service. The cocktails were fantastic too!

Had a great early Saturday here! The menu covers a lot of SEA classics and we had a hard time choosing (to narrow it down to 3-4 choices of course..) My favourite dish was Yum Gai Zaab (crispy spicy chicken) followed by a close second Khao Moo Grop (roasted pork) which was perfectly crispy. Drink menu is creative and well executed. I'll be back to try the rest of them. The interior of the restaurant feels like you're being transported to another country, which is always a good feeling. I did find the schmaltzy rice served with the Khao Man Gai to be underwhelming when I was expecting it to be the star of the show. It was missing the glimmer, sheen and deep aromatics I've had in places like SG hawker markets. Overall the dishes were served lukewarm, some might have been better if served hot. Still good though. Despite my critiques, all of which are coming from a place of honesty, I would highly recommend a meal here. This is a great addition to the Hamilton food scene and I will certainly be back.

Outstanding flavors, carefully sourced, and professionally served, all you need from a good restaurant and add super friendly service on top of it. Above and beyond what I was expecting.

Great new spot on James street with legitimately delicious food and a beautiful hidden patio. Truly excellent vegan options also with unique items (try the crispy taro rolls).
