I?m Thai so I know how Thai food should be. There are so many Thai restaurants in Atlanta (countless) that say they are the best.\r
. Those Thai restaurants may be best for themselves or for their families or just a few friends. Folks, when you talk about ethnic food you should categorize them by authentic or non-authentic. Authentic food of any cuisine is so hard to do, you need to have a good talented chef that stays working in the same place so long to develop and correct what to do and what not to do for customers in the area while keeping the authentic way of cooking. Most Thai places call themselves authentic but they are not even close to it. If they call themselves the best Thai restaurants they should be called ? THAI FLAVORED? instead of ?AUTHENTIC THAI? which I have no objection about that. I?m a member of Thai association, authentic Thai food is one of my responsibility and that's what the Thai government wants the world to know about. Thai flavored restaurants might be good for foreigners who know nothing about Thai food while AUTHENTIC THAI FOOD is for Thais and people who look for really good culinary flavor from the well-known nation. Thai association of Georgia had presented a certificate of authenticity to ONLY a Thai restaurant in Atlanta Called Red Garlic Super Thai Cuisine for their Philosophy, good experience in cooking and their special effort to preserve Thai cuisine the way it should be. Red Garlic has selected to host Thai ambassador and assistants twice in the past several years. For the best authentic Thai food in Atlanta, I would recommend Red Garlic on Pleasant Hill Rd. But for THAI FLAVOR restaurants, there are too many Thai restaurants (that claim themselves as the best in Atlanta)to mention. Which ever one you like, it?s your choice.
Pros: a place where Thais go.
Cons: N/A
