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 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.

I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Eem Khao this past Sunday, and I can confidently say this place is a gem. From the moment we stepped in, it felt like we had been transported to another country the vibe is warm, intimate, and authentically Southeast Asian. The two servers working that day were outstanding incredibly polite, attentive, and sweet. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and were happy with our meal. Now for the food: phenomenal. We ordered a variety of dishes including their Hainanese chicken, crispy chicken, sautéed greens (gai pan). Everything was cooked to perfection fresh, vibrant, and beautifully presented. The sauces were rich and complex, the rice fragrant, and even the soup served alongside was comforting and flavourful. Best of all? The price. For the quality and quantity of food we received, it was surprisingly affordable a true value. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to try delicious Thai or Laotian-style cuisine in a cozy, authentic setting. Will absolutely be back soon!

We’ve been wanting to try this new Thai Chinese place in Hamilton. Would recommend to make a reservation as the place is busy, especially on a weekend. We got the crispy chicken, roasted pork and braised pork hock in family style plates. The crispy chicken comes with 2 sauces and they are really good. The flavour of the braised pork hock is not as strong as I expected it to be and the pork is not as tender as expected. Roasted pork skin is crispy on the outside but not crispy underneath, which gives an unpleasant tootpacking/sticky skin texture. Would recomment the chicken dishes more than the pork dishes. We would like to come back again next time though to try the noodle dishes.

Got the sticky ribs and crispy chicken. Will absolutely be back🔥🔥🔥
