Northlake Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Tucker

My stepfather was a chef in the U.S. Navy. He traveled the world and became chief of the BOQ—Bachelors Officers Quarters. He’d be away for nearly a year or more to Asian and Mediterranean countries. So when he returned home from overseas, he’d make these dishes that few people in our southern city were likely to have prepared back in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. So I learned to eat food that was not your typical meat and potatoes, which was all my Mom could make. We learned by watching him cook. So as an adult, my culinary tastes lean toward the various cultures he introduced us to through food. Now that the wise man and I have moved again, I’m searching for places that serve different food. I make it at home as often as possible, but like to explore how others present and prepare food. We discovered Northlake Thai Cuisine in Tucker, Ga. The food was excellent! We both had a vegetable, rice and fried tofu dish. It was seasoned with a sauce that had just the right amount of chili peppers — just enough to give your tongue a little tingle but not too overwhelming. The waitress brought us jasmine hot tea in beautiful tea cups and the meal came with spring rolls. What a treat! We arrived before the dinner rush so it was nice and relaxing. After COVID, we have been reluctant to go out, but experiences like this are encouraging! Thank you Northlake...

Lived in the area for over 4 years and saw the sign and the place when we drive by but it never looked open. We decided to give it a try tonight. The service was good but there are definitely some shortcomings.

We ordered the chicken coconut soup and it's sweeter than your typical coconut soup. My wife split pad Thai with her daughter and it was average. I ordered the curry laksa with chicken. The soup was tasty but the noodles were really chewy like it was instant ramen. We had quite a bit of leftovers so we took the rest to go and when I got home I was surprised and disappointed that they dumped all the laksa soup out. That's the main part of what makes laksa good. All that was in the container was the chewy instant ramen noodle and some chicken. We gave it a try but will not...

I ordered from the restaurant once before and it was okay but this time I ordered for myself and a friend .. I ordered the Bangkok curry fried rice .. I paid $15 each for each plate and asked for meat on each plate which was a extra $3 for EACH brought my total to $38. I was very disappointed that they did not do what I asked , I wanted everything to be perfect for my friend and myself and it was not. Unfortunately they will never get my money again, they would listen as I was placing the order they continuously kept cutting me off as I was speaking .. overall unfortunate experience !! Would not recommend

PS the rice came with a romaine spring lettuce salad with a ginger dressing and a crab Rangoon and egg roll .. at which...
