Reviews
Absolutely the best meals I have ever had in my life. My family and I came here the second to last night of our vacation and ended up coming back on our last night as well because we loved it so much. If you are looking for pad Thai and green curry then this isn’t the place for you. But if you’re willing to expand your horizons a bit and let Opal order for you, you will not be disappointed! I honestly don’t know exactly what I ate, all I know is that it was delicious and I wanted more! Everything tasted familiar but different at the same time. I highly recommend coming to this restaurant!
Best Thai food I've had in the US. You can order from a menu but I prefer letting Opal customize the nightly menu and surprising me. He'll do his best to make sure you don't repeat dishes. I went twice in a week and wish I could've gone more. Sending all my friends here. (call for a reservation!)
Best Thai food! One of a kind experience. Opal really went above and beyond. He asked us some questions and then started making our food based on what we told him. All the food came out AMAZING! Even the food catered to the kids. There was a good variety of dishes. We had some leftovers (but not much because we kept eating LOL). $280 for all that food, tip, and some drinks for 10 people was actually inexpensive. Definitely coming back!
Delicious food, with friendly and "personalized" service. Would have easily been a 5, but they don't take AMEX, which is at least one star off in my book. The chef will ask you your taste and cook you what he thinks you will like. He was pretty spot on with me. But he did order me twice as I would have ordered for myself, which made it a bit pricey for one person. Still, the food was good so I would recommend going here. But until they start to accept AMEX, I will probably not return.
A rare find, words cannot describe. We came in expecting great food and ended up having not only delicious amazing food that was unique and full of new flavors we never knew exist, but also had a priceless experience with the extraordinary chef who is an artist who cares about his food and his guests more than anything. Cancel your plans to dine at a Michelin star restaurant and reserve your table here instead. You will not regret it.
Amazing Thai food! Everything that chef sent out to us was delicious. Definitely going back before I leave for the states! Service was great.
Must make reservations
A meal we’ll never forget. My family went to Opal Thai on a recommendation expecting amazing Thai food. We had an unforgettable experience with Opal - we didn’t order a single thing. He brought out dish after dish and each one was delicious.
This isn’t a typical restaurant; it’s more of an experience. It will be best for those who are foodies and can roll with the punches; picky eaters and those with dietary restrictions likely will not enjoy.
INCREDIBLY AWESOME EXPERIENCE! Aside from some of the absolute best food on the island, this place should be a 'must go' for the experience alone. The owner will chat with you about what kind of food you like, and place the order for you. Don't be concerned about not picking from the menu - the food is mind blowing!
The owner has a way with kids. He had my 3 year old eating vegetables like I've never seen!
The service from the rest of the staff is on point too. Our waters never got empty, and we almost never noticed when empty plates would just disappear. Staff members are always right there if you need anything. Need another beer? They'll probably beat you to asking, but if not they're all over ready to assist.
This is our new date night restaurant. Nothing on the island can even come close to comparing to Opal Thai!
