What diners say — our read

There is no middle ground in these 18 reviews. Reviewers who mention whether food comes out hot rate this place 4.8 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour. After that, service appears most often — 22% of the corpus, averaging 3.8.

The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (14 of 18). A third strand, how much food arrives, appears in 17% of them at 5.0 stars. 16 of 18 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 2 are two or lower.

The kitchen graded a C (72/100) on 1 high-priority, 4 intermediate, and 8 basic violations at its last inspection, which is roughly where the reviews sit too. The visit behind that grade was February 24, 2026. On health score it sits safer than 10% of the Orange County restaurants we grade.

    Get the pad woon sen and substitute the noodles for udon noodles. Thank me later! It's worth the $3 upcharge. One of the BEST Thai dishes here in Orlando. Absolutely phenomenal!!! Everyone I've introduced that dish at that restaurant has not turned back. Soooo tasty, savory, and sweet! 🤤

    Been coming here for years and it still holds true as one of my favorite Thai restaurants in Orlando. Everything is always delicious, service is great, always friendly folks.

    Ae was amazing!!! Such good energy and charisma. The food was delicious.

    The food here was really good and everything we ordered was flavorful. We had the hot jasmine tea, wonton soup, coconut milk soup, Smokey Pot, and spicy basil noodles. I ordered the spicy basil noodles at medium spice, and it definitely had a kick but was still very tolerable and delicious. Portion sizes were generous, and the restaurant had a great atmosphere with nice music in the background. The service was friendly and welcoming, and overall we had a great experience. Definitely worth visiting again!

    Take out. Food was wonderful.

  • May 19, 2026

    The food is good but the service is horrible. The servers are very rude and they ignore you. The service is horrible, food is ok. The servers feel like they are doing us a favor by serving the food. Not good at all.

    Portions are a little small, but food is good

  • May 11, 2026

    If you order online make sure you select to not pay tip, it is at 20% by default. The restaurant will blame the 3rd party that manages the web page.

    Highly recommend this Thai restaurant! The food is very authentic and flavorful. I ordered the tom yum soup, green curry, and pad see ew. All of them were so good! You can adjust the spice level too. I got medium for the curry and soup, and hot for the pad see ew. Support your local Asian owned businesses!

    I order takeout from this restaurant very often and it is fresh, hot and delicious every time. I highly recommend to anyone who loves Thai food!

  • April 23, 2026

    Pad Thai and garlic lime edamame were excellent. Panang Curry was good. Service was good and knowledgeable. Place was a little too chilly.

  • April 21, 2026

    Traditional Thai food with excellent flavor 🤩 Got the hot pot (chicken and HUGE shrimp) with an entire cinnamon stick. Delicious! Offers levels of hot - and they stuck true to my request. Very good food.

  • April 20, 2026

    The tofu and vegetable soup, spring roll, and veggies and rice were very good.

  • April 8, 2026

    Affordable and solid. I enjoy the lemon grass soup
