Emporium Thai has been voted one of the 100 best Thai Restaurants in the US. Family-owned and operated, we have shared the wonderful flavors of authentic Thai food with our customers since 2000. We can't help it: Cooking is in our genes. Supis Sungkamee, our 88 year-old mom, bore 12 children in Southern Thailand and instilled in us a passion for authentic Thai cooking. In 1990, she won a lottery for a U.S. green card which allowed our family to become US immigrants and eventually US citizens. We are blessed and grateful to be able to share our family's recipes. Emporium Thai has become a favorite destination for those who appreciate fine Thai cuisine. Just like Mom and Dad did back in Thailand, Emporium Thai Cuisine uses only the finest ingredients bought locally. Our mission is simple "To create such a memorably wonderful Thai dining experience that you'll want to return to Emporium Thai often, and rave about us to your friends". We look forward to serving you soon.Khob-Kun-Krub

    STK Los Angeles is the spot if you’re looking for a vibe that screams luxury and fun. Think juicy steaks, epic cocktails, and a live DJ to keep the energy up all night. Perfect for content, btw—this place is a whole aesthetic. Here’s the rundown from my night: •The Food: I went with the Ribeye (highly recommend), and the Cheesecake was next-level. It’s definitely a splurge, but worth every bite. •The Vibes: Chic, trendy, and buzzing with energy. It’s not just a dinner; it’s an experience. Great lighting for photos, too! •Service: Shoutout to Danny (my server), who made everything seamless and fun. Whether you’re celebrating or just want to treat yourself, STK delivers. Pro tip: make a reservation early because this place gets packed. Check them out on OpenTable to book your table!
