What People Are Saying About Thai Place Restaurant

The Scene – A sort of Thai diner, with a small, homey setting, kitschy purple tables and a few Siamese decorations on the walls. – – The Food – Start off your meal with spring rolls packed with pineapple. Follow up with a healthy portion of chicken breast, sauteed in barbecue sauce and presented with a thick peanut sauce and a fresh cucumber salad. Those with asbestos tongues should not pass the hot red snapper, served with a searing-yet-sweet chili sauce. One of the many Thai curries should also set your tongue a-tingling. – – The Service…

Would HIGHLY recommend
by puppynurselk
Having eaten at several Thai restaurants in the area, both my boyfriend and I keep coming back to Thai Place. Their food is DELICIOUS, the portion sizes are LARGE and the price is VERY REASONABLE! You will NOT be disappointed!
- Pros: Good food, large portions, reasonable price
- Cons: annoying waiter

New owners don't make the grade
by TomAndrea
As with others, I was highly disappointed when I found that the new ownership was not close to providing the same delicious food I had become accustomed to. The food is lacking flavor and is far from authentic Thai. It's a genrous rating to give them 1 star. I was thrilled to find a new Thai hme for my palate in Orlando when we visited Tasty Thai on Curry Ford Road. Try it.
- Pros: Service is friendly
- Cons: Food is simply not authentic Thai, very lacking in flavor.

Avoid at all costs...
by aiki10
First... Let me qualify this review by saying that I have been a regular lunch and dinner patron at Thai Place for over 6 years. I travel to Winter Park regularly on business, and always made it a habit to eat there at least once when I was in town (sometimes many times...). I was disappointed to hear that the management had changed, but figured, after not having been in there for close to 8 months that I'd give it a shot. Service... Nominally attentive... Nothing like it was... The new decor is semi-industrial... Interesting, but not really "traditional". The food... Absolutely noxious. I ordered Tofu Pad Thai, figuring that this was probably the least risky thing to try under the new management. When I finally managed to get past the scent of what was, apparently, BBQ sauce (yep... That's what it smelled, and tasted, like), I was startled to find that the tofu had been sitting for some time, and was, in fact cold, in stark contrast to the rest of the dish which was SUPER hot (yep... I suspect that the plate spent some time in the microwave...) The noodles were broken, and the portion (given the increased price) was fairly small. I tried hard to finish the meal (I was starving, having just come from the airport), and then promptly ran away. I'm disappointed at the death of what was a WONDERFUL Thai restaurant. I can't count the number of people that I've managed to drag in there over the years. A true disappointment...
- Pros: Ummmm... It's close to the Florida DMV?
- Cons: Avoid avoid avoid...
