THAI CAFE – Thai
Thai Cafe has held a quaint room on North Magnolia Avenue in downtown Orlando since 2001, a family-run kitchen founded by Chef Noi after years working other people's Thai lines. The menu runs deep past the usual: panang fish, waterfall beef, yellow curry, drunken noodles and Royal Seafood, with kow mahn gai, kow kah moo and bah mee for anyone ordering off the Thai side of the list. The ginger dressing on the salad has its own following. Diners talk about generous plates at fair prices, a genuine vegan and vegetarian range, and a room that has not changed character in two decades.
