Emporium Thai! 

It's been a local favorite since 2000. It has really flavorful and authentic Thai food, with a ton of options that cater to all kinds of diets—gluten-free, vegan, you name it. Their spicy levels are customizable, which is a big hit if you like your food mild or extra fiery. 

It's family-owned, and the vibe is super welcoming. Their crispy duck, Thai basil seafood, Pad Thai, and Yellow Curry are favorites, and it’s in a great location for students and locals to grab a quick, delicious meal.
