    Best food in town! I’ve had my share of Thai food, but this place stands out among the rest. I’m sad I hadn’t discovered this place sooner. I highly recommend their Basil Fried Rice and Pad Thai.

    My absolute favorite place to eat. The staff is always nice and attentive. Wait is never long. The food is always hot and fresh and I truly have not had a dish that has disappointed me yet. I love the atmosphere it's always calm when dining in. My favorite is the pad Thai

    Hidden gem. The food was absolutely amazing. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, professional, and overall really caring. I left feeling like friends. The food is cooked in-house fresh by the owner every day. I had the Chicken Satay and the Panang Duck Curry. The Satay was delicate and light and had a peanut sauce that was addictive. The curry was cooked perfectly with the duck just the you want it. Crispy yet tender and full of flavor. I'll be back when I'm in town next. I promise. Thank you, Golden Thai Family!

    This place is amazing. The staff is incredible, and the owner is always so kind. I love the food. Every dish is so flavorful and the portions are perfect. I’ve been hard pressed to find a restaurant where even the fried rice packs a punch. 10/10 recommend!!

    First visit to Columbus MS found a gem in a strip mall. Appetizer butterfly shrimp crispy, tasty and hot! Pho missing fresh veggies unlike some other thai restaurants but still tasty and fresh. Cheng beer was awesome!
