I stopped into Thailicious in Longwood for dinner on a Saturday, and it wasn't too busy. Our…read moreservice was amazing throughout the meal, making for a really pleasant dining experience. We started with the chicken basil rolls, and I loved them so much! I'd never had anything quite like them at a Thai restaurant before, but they were incredibly flavorful. The peanut sauce was slightly sweet and nicely balanced, making it the perfect accompaniment. For our entrees, we ordered the chicken drunken noodles and the chicken Massaman curry. Both dishes were super flavorful and satisfying. The drunken noodles came with zucchini, which I had never had in drunken noodles before, but I really enjoyed the addition of a vegetable. It added a nice element to the dish without taking away from the bold flavors. The Massaman curry was a little spicy, but it was also very tasty and packed with flavor. The spice level added a nice kick while still allowing the curry's rich flavors to shine. Overall, we had a great dinner at Thailicious. Between the delicious food and amazing service, I'll definitely be going back!

Siam O-Cha is genuine, delicious, expertly prepared Thai cuisine that's worth a drive to get. I've had just about everything on the menu, but let's hit some of the heroes. The dumplings are divine, both in texture and flavor. The chicken satay is really good, but even better is the peanut sauce and Thai pickles that are served with it. They've really taken a normal chicken-on-a-stick and elevated to something culinary. Finally, the green curry. I could eat this everyday. Sometimes, I do. Yesterday, I ordered it Thai hot, and lemme tell you, that's an adventure. Super delicious and alive with spicy energy, it's really more than just food. It's a journey in spice and flavors that are a cut above the rest. And the people are as friendly and helpful as they come. It's definitely just a take-out kind of place, so don't go with the expectation of dining in. But at least you can feel comfortable knowing that for the short time you're in the place, the people serving and cooking your food are top-class. And the food itself, excellent.

We took a drive to visit The Nine Thai restaurant since we were intrigued by their Magical Dining…read moremenu. It appeared this was the first time they have participated in Magical Dining which became more evident as the night went on. We were greeted promptly and taken to a table that had balance issues. We were going to ask to move tables as it wasn't that busy yet but then a server came and added some napkins underneath to steady the table. The interior was interesting, half bar with two TVs playing sports and then half dining room. When the server came again, we ordered our 3-course meals and my mom and I each got a Thai Iced Tea. The Teas came and they were fine, maybe less sweet than I usually like. Then, it was over 45 minutes until we got our appetizers. I could see the servers running around but either their cook staff was understaffed or the restaurant was not expecting the big turnout for Magical Dining as this point all the tables in the restaurant were full. The appetizers were good, although all 3 came out at different times. The Cigar Rolls are like chicken egg rolls served with cucumber with the insides more like a samosa. The Coconut Shrimp had lots of coconut taste and was served with plum sauce. It was another while for our entrees to come out. My parents like the What The Duck although thought it was a bit more spicy than they like. I got the Fried Chicken with Peanut Sauce since the original choice I had made on the Magical Dining site (shrimp and pineapple fried rice) wasn't in the special menu at the restaurant. The portion was huge with 2 flattened chicken breasts along with broccoli, rice and peanut sauce. It was fine when dipped the sauce although a little dry without the sauce. Another wait and then finally our desserts arrived - Mango Sticky Rice for me and my dad and Fried Crepe with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce for my mom. My mom loved hers and finished the whole thing but I found it a bit plain. The Mango Sticky Rice was great although I wished there was more coconut milk in the bottom of the plate to sop up the rice and mango. I can't blame the servers for the food delays since they were all great. I think the restaurant was just overwhelmed. One more nit pick, there didn't seem to be particular plates to serve each dish in. We saw the table next to use get the Cigar Rolls in a cute basket while ours were served on a flat black plate. This restaurant has good food but probably not worth making a long drive for like we did.

Between the beautiful, fresh sushi, the…read morequaint and cozy yet chic atmosphere, and the friendly service; Ma-Se is always the answer when hubby asks where I want to eat. No it might not have all the frills of some of the other sushi spots in Orlando, but the sushi really is top notch. In particular, I think everything at Ma-Se is seasoned PERFECTLY, perhaps due to the Thai influence from Chef Po. Everything from the kitchen is so tasty, so everyone leaves happy. My favorites: Ma-Se roll, Kao-Soi curry soup, Tomkha Kai soup, Rock shrimp appetizer, torched salmon, potstickers with curry sauce. Hubby loves the black dragon roll. I often order hand rolls here, which is indicative of the quality of the fish. They usually have a special with uni, if that's your thing. Where my Kao-Soi lovers at? Do not skip Ma-Se! Everyone I've brought here is in disbelief that this exists in Longwood. That's why I love my hometown! Note check their instagram for a notice about some limited hours this fall for renovations. Excited to see what's coming next!

The white fish carpaccio was my favorite! The chicken karage could be cut into smaller pieces to make bites and dipping easier. This place is a great spot!

On one hand,…read moreI want to keep the secret for myself so the place stays exactly as it is forever and never changes; on the other hand, I want to shout about its greatness from the rooftops so even more people can realize and appreciate it. Sakura House is great through and through in my opinion. I've had several very different menu items and have never been disappointed (my current go-to being the Chicken Katsu Bento, but the General Tso's is their shining star). The food is quick and affordable, yet honest and consistently delicious. The staff is made up of kind, hard-working people who really know their stuff. The place itself is small- not great for a large group, but a sweet, intimate experience for 4 or less. In a world where affordability *and* good quality are increasingly hard to come by at once, Sakura House is there to remind me that not all hope is lost :)

Since we were hungry we ordered the Shrimp and Pork Spring Rolls and both were very fresh and tasty. But it was the warm peanut sauce that accompanied the rolls that was the real star, We also order the steamed pot stickers and the half dozen that came with the dish were very good as well as the sauce that accompanied this dish. I ordered the Pork Belly with Egg and Rice which was sensational and my partner ordered the pork vermicelli bowl. Both were as good or better than we've had at other Vietnamese places in Central Florida. The bathroom was also very clean and fresh smelling. Nothing can ruin a nice meal than having a nasty bathroom, Happy to report that there is nothing to worry about in this regard. The restaurant is located in a strip mall and, with very reasonable prices, the entrees were $13.99 and very well worth it, Pho Ben Thanh is certainly worth a try if you find yourself in Longwood.

We pulled into the parking lot and quickly found Pho Mai, parked, and walked in. It is a rather unassuming restaurant, with a few tables and some booths on each side. We were greeted, and we were guided to a booth. We sat and were given menus. We generally order the same thing at Vietnamese restaurants, Summer Rolls and big bowls of Pho, and this visit was no different. What WAS different is that they had 3 sizes to choose from- small, medium and large. I ordered the medium beef combination, and my wife ordered the small Beef Rare & Brisket. Our server quickly brought our rolls and the soup accompaniments. The Summer Rolls were typical. I thought that the wrapping was a bit chewy, but they were full and flavorful. The peanut sauce was a bit thick, but tasty. Our soups arrived, and boy, the broth smelled great! I quickly got a spoon to taste, and it was excellent! I put the bean sprouts, jalapeno, and basil in my bowl, and a bit of chili, and mixed it all together, tasty, hot, and filling! There are many Vietnamese restaurants around, but this is one of the better ones, and we will definitley be back!

I can't believe we waited so long to try this place!…read more Right when you walk in you immediately smell the broth, it smells amazing!! The restaurant is fairly big with lots of tables and booths and is very clean and new. The service was great, our server was super friendly and polite and helped us pick our dishes. Also, the food didn't take long at all. My wife and I ended up trying a couple of appetizers and separate entrees. Overall - the food was super tasty and VERY FRESH!! Appetizers - Summer Rolls - the summer themselves were not special as good as any other place, but the peanut sauce was incredible! It had a dollop of a spicy sauce in the middle that was an awesome combination! Chicken Wings - the chicken wings had a really nice crunch and were topped with some sort of dust that was really nice as well. Here's the kicker, they also had a sauce that was awesome! Some sort of lemongrass sauce that also had some spice to it. Dinner - Short rib pho - this was my wife's meal, she really loved it and I had a taste as well. The broth was nicely balanced and the short rib was nice and tender. I would have enjoyed it with more spice but it wasn't my meal. Grilled pork vermicelli - this was my dinner and it was really good! Everything just tasted so fresh and that made it better than other restaurants to me. I added the chili oil they have on the table and it was awesome. Really looking forward to going back and trying more dishes.
