Reviews
We ordered Thai Wonton and the Vegetable and Tofu soups. They were both delicious and simple pleasures to the tongue. For entrées we had Pad Thai with tofu which was very good as well as the Thai Basil Noodle with chicken. On April 1st the mango w/ sticky rice was in season and I HIGHLY recommend. It is vegan for all who’d like to know.
Server Bryce was very attentive and kind as was the rest of the staff. I will come back!
We also tried Thai custard with sticky rice (something neither of us had tried before). It was very good. The textures and flavors went well together and it was a really pretty dish as well!
1) they don’t have online ordering so you must call which greatly ties up their phone and it takes an hour to get through sometimes.
2) they take their phone off the hook to slow down orders, instead just hire more cooks.
3) they changed from the large Styrofoam take out boxes to a box which is better constructed but is half the size meaning for the last year they’ve been serving half portions for the same price. They must be doing this to cope with higher demand so they have more noodles and rice available. Terrible decisions
This place would be the number 1 thai restaurant in central Florida if they just hired more chefs, worked with a third party company to offer online/Mobile orders, and stopped serving smaller portions for take-out.
I went with a friend around dinner time (7pm) and had a 15 minute wait. We took this time to check out the menu so that we were ready as soon as our server greeted us.
We started with the Tom Khu Gia soup & spring rolls. The soup had the perfect amount of kick (I got medium spice) that the coconut broth balanced out perfectly. The spring rolls were thinner than I was used to, but they had the best light crunch and warm and tender filling.
We shared the Phad La Na (#73) with chicken. It was a large noodle dish served in a gracious pool of gravy. It’s not the gravy you would think, it’s a little thinner than traditional gravy but just as tasty (if not more).
Service was speedy & courteous. Our server had a very heavy accent so it was kind of difficult to understand her. But nothing too overwhelming.
You can’t beat the prices and the location was incredibly convenient with plenty parking.
