Our Sister Emon ran the restaurant for 17 years. Lek, Emons youngest sister and Lek's Husband Frank bought the restaurant in April of 2014. Lek along with sous-chef Sam Sangra, prepare traditional Thai food and continue the tradition Emon started. Over the years, Em-On's has won many awards and positive reviews for it's astounding Thai cooking.
Em-On's is one of a kind, as are the flavors you will find here. If you haven't already tasted the delicacies we serve, don't pass up the opportunity, because the experience is one of a lifetime. I ordered the Ma Sa Man (w/ tofu) lunch special with the hot soup for lunch (cost $8.99) at spice level 3 and it was absolutely amazing!

Very, very disappointed in this normally fine restaurant. I'm wondering if they have new owners and/or kitchen staff. We ordered a take out order at 5:30 and received it at 7:20, 40 minutes after promised. Others were cancelling their orders after waiting.
After finally getting the $58 dollar order and driving home, we found it was tepid and needed to be reheated. In addition, the Tom Yum was ordered as a 2 on the spicy scale that went up to 5. It "burned" (much too spicy) the tongue and back of the throat. The Spring Rolls were inedible. All wrap and sparse filling. The same was

The best Thai restaurant I've ever had! Delicious dishes with bold, punchy flavors and herbs. Especially liked their home dishes liked the short ribs soup that was an interesting spin off of tum yum soup. My aunt is usually unimpressed but she slurped up and ate beyond her capacity! We came towards the end of the night and yet the food came promptly and service staff were very attentive and friendly.

Ok I have been here a few times over the years and thought it was just okay. But last week and now tonight I have to say that whoever is cooking is doing a great job!! Good portion sizes as well. Fresh veggies and good tasting chicken. Yum. Even my wife, who is the pickiest eater ever gives it a thumbs up after tonight.

My gf and I have been to over 5 different Thai places in a 20 mile radius and hands down this is THE REAL THAI spot!!! Please try it and pass the word!!! Came on a Monday and Tuesday night and it was packed wall to wall both nights in a row!!! Love this place and it's our new thing! Lek drives miles out of the way so everything is fresh no pre-packaged food here y'all!!! 10 stars if they had it!!!

Best authentic Thai food in Naples! I've tried so many places that don't seem to get it right, but this place is amazing! The owner and chef Lek explained her entire process. She actually goes to the farmers markets and hand picks every single vegetable and fruit on the menu to make sure it's perfect! Every meal is made to order, nothing pre-cooked! And let me tell you something, food cooked with love and precision just hits different. I will be coming here at least once a week from now on! Also excellent and friendly service!

Great reviews.. So we went to Em-Ons and gave it a try..got the calamari salad and the chicken delight dish.. Way too hot and spicy. We ordered a number two mild spice.. got flamethrower. We love Thai food and we were disappointed.. made a complaint and got a shrug . And a comment of "well we use real Thai chilies" .. So ? Skip it.. We were there at 6pm and only one other table was occupied

I've have been going to Em ons probably around 16 years and have always been happy with the service and food. Lek has recently got a new wait staff who English is sub par So when ordering my usual items these girls can not get it right. I have a long commute home to find out the order is wrong. i can not be the only one with this experience. Lek please get someone who can speak english so the orders are correct. I'm sorry to leave a bad review but a once great place is going down hill.

Naples has many amazing Thai restaurants that I love, but this place ranks waaaay on the top of my list! I don't get to eat here much because it's far from my house but we had lunch here today and I am absolutely blown away with how incredibly delicious everything is. The Hot & Sour Soup is so flavorful and is full of delicious veggies. The Thai Basil Lunch is just perfection. The sauce could not be more delicious. I can't stop thinking about it!!! I want to try so many other dishes but when I see my previous photos of the Thai Basil dish I can't not order it

Just discovered this place on Uber eats last night and I am SOLD food was so delicious. Ordered shrimp fried dumplings and they were incredible. Crunchy and soft and pillowy and the sauce was so complimentary. For dinner I had the Green curry (gang kiew wan) and Jesus it was sooooo good! I order green curry from almost every place around north naples and this is hands down the absolute BEST.
Order now!
Order now!

The BEST, freshest, most flavorful and authentic Thai food in Naples and maybe all of Florida! I wish I could say this a different way to build this review, but it's that simple, this food is THE BEST. I've had Thai food all over the country. I've had almost everything on this menu, mostly carry out, and never had a bad experience. Well once, we had a bad connection, they heard wrong and made the wrong meal for me, but it was infinitely better than what I ordered anyway, so a new favorite discovered! Do not hesitate to come here!

Stumbled on this place and we were hungry! What a delicious surprise!!!! The waiter was very professional and efficient. Our drinks and appetizers arrived right on time.
Our dinner was delicious! I ordered the Ka-Prow with chicken with #3 heat. It was so flavorful and just the right spice to really taste all the flavors. The guy next to us had the sizzling chicken and said it was great. Next time we'll order both.
It's one of those restaurants that is a hidden gem! Also right now the mall is under construction.
All the waiters had masks on and were very respectful.

Ordered take out. It was very quick and the food was very good. I ordered the Pad Thai and it was some of the best I've ever had. My husband ordered the house special with shrimp and chicken and enjoyed it and my daughter ordered another noodle dish with chicken and broccoli. It was so much food that my daughter and I ate 2-3 meals out of it.

Caught Mrs. K. in a moment of weakness and scored a visit to Em On's Thai Cafe. In season this is a hard place to get in, off season not so hard.
We were seated upon entering and served efficiently.
We ordered crisp spring rolls for starters. They were cooked fine and was nothing that was outstanding nor off putting about them.
I ordered the Kway Tiew Nam. Which is made up of rice noodles with beef, cilantro, scallion, bean sprouts sprinkled with toasted garlic. I do know for a fact it had the beef, cilantro, and rice noodles. As I could see and taste them. I could not taste any

Love coming here, especially for their amazing dinner specials that includes a bottle of wine (or dessert); soups and two full size entrees with tons of meat and vegetables. The flavors are spot on every time and today was no exception. The chef, Lek, cooks consistently well.
I really love the pad see ew with beef. The serving is so large that I took 1/3 of it home and I was totally stuffed.
