Purple Chopstix - Athens

I waited tables there a few months back, and frequently brought home food which was always delicious so this is a slightly biased review right off the bat. First time going back tonight for an actual sit down and everything was so good. Even having tried nearly everything on this menu, it still took me a hot minute to decide what I wanted tonight— there really are that many good options here. I ended up picking red curry and it was ballin. Pro tip: ice cream (when available) on top of the homemade chocolate raspberry cake. Other ex employee pro tip: the salad greens are fresh daily and the sesame soy dressing is the bomb.

Quaint cute family owned restaurant. Every item on the menu was uniquely prepared.

I hate to be a naysayer, but this restaurant did not live up to expectations. The tom yum soup was very good, but the stir fry and the Thai curry were awful. The veggies seemed to have been frozen, and the chicken was rubbery and inedible. Next time we’ll be going back to Sanam.

Their customer service was top notch. The ambience of this place is amazing. I enjoyed the outside seating which tunes you to the sound of the stream behind it, I loved this. The food was quite okay. If you plan on drinking, it is best to bring your own as they don’t serve alcohol. They will only charge you for the glasses you will use for the alcohol.

We were there as guests at a catered event. At this event the food was served buffet style. My experience has been that it is hard to have consistent quality in that setting, but wow, both the chicken and the beef dishes were delicious, and from my perspective the beef was perfectly cooked, so tender and flavorful. It seems like the restaurant is a family business, though I don't know that for sure. Very friendly, delicious food, and vibrant decorations. We glanced at the menu posted so we could think about when we will visit again
