Thai Golden Bowl

Crema's Take

Tucked inside the Dayou Asian Market on Bethel Road, this intimate Thai spot is run by owner Tony and his wife Dayanara, who brings genuinely authentic flavors that have won over both newcomers and homesick Thai transplants alike. Their pad thai, street food rolls, and fried pork belly rice bowls arrive vibrant and perfectly seasoned—the kind of bold, traditional dishes that remind you why you fell in love with Thai cuisine in the first place. It's a quick, casual grab in a food court setting, but the care in each plate and the warm hospitality make it feel like much more than a passing meal.

When I first stopped by, I got confused on the location, but I finally figured out its inside the Dayou Asian Market in Bethel Rd, Columbus. The owner Tony and his wife, Dayanara who makes these delicious and authentic Thai dishes are super hospitable! My favorite is their Tom yum soup and pork cheek dish, so flavorful and authentic!!!

Golden Thai Restaurant was absolutely amazing! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish had incredible taste and authentic Thai flair. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to — highly recommend!

Since moving from Thailand, I’ve been searching everywhere for those bold, vibrant, truly authentic Thai flavors that I miss so much. I saw someone post in here about the Golden Bowl by Dayou Market and I had to give it a try. I was beyond impressed. Fresh, authentic, and no shortcuts. You can taste the pride in every dish. I was so happy I had to talk to them and they were kind enough to show me the ingredients in their kitchen. We ordered 2 types of papaya salad, Grilled pork neck, Fried crispy pork , Stir-fried holy basil (exactly how it should taste and this is the dish that made me go up to the kitchen because they use real holy basil). Even the sauces that come with each dish are thoughtfully made and perfectly balanced. And bonus points forever for using real jasmine rice!!!! I’ve always hoped Columbus would get a Thai restaurant that serve food like this… and now it finally has one. 🙌 Highly recommended for anyone craving real Thai food, and another bonus: they offer special menus weekly or monthly, so there’s always something new to look forward to.

Another great food court addition in Dayou at Bethel. This one serves Thai street food delights. We tried Thai rolls, pad Thai, and fried pork belly rice bowl. They were all spot-on and flavored very much like you will find in the streets of Thailand. They have other famous Thai offerings such as curries and the tom soups. You can customize the heat level. Very much enjoyed the favorite condiment of the owner served on the pork belly. Friendly and quick service. Reasonable price for the quality. Ample parking at Dayou. Highly recommended.

I would like to give 5 stars to this new open Thai restaurant at the Dayou’s food court. I ordered the chicken Pad Thai. The price could be a little high, but the taste was authentic and the size was large. I definitely will try other classic Thai dishes. It could be better if they would make dine-in containers not same as the takeout ones.
