While exploring the Southside of Jacksonville today upon a colleague's glowing recommendation, I happened upon Bounxou Thai a name that immediately captured my curiosity. It proved to be a magnificent discovery in every single respect! Arrival was completely effortless, with a grand, spacious private parking lot situated directly out front. Stepping inside, the establishment is impeccably clean, tastefully arranged, and exudes a warm, sophisticated ambiance that honours authentic Thai traditions while remaining thoroughly inviting. The service was top-tier from start to finish exceptionally attentive, gracious, and wonderfully family-friendly. As is my customary habit when visiting fine Thai venues, I ordered a Thai Iced Tea to begin. It arrived crisp, perfectly chilled, and mixed to absolute perfection, making for a delightful afternoon refreshment. For my main course, I selected my absolute favorite, the classic Pad Thai. I was deeply impressed by the kitchen's thoughtful approach to hospitality; when my server inquired if I preferred red radish and parsley added custom touches I personally prefer to forgo they accommodates my request with total ease. My meal arrived with impressive speed and was an absolute culinary masterpiece vibrant, exquisitely seasoned, and piping hot. Between the immaculate cleanliness, tailored service, and divine cuisine, Bounxou Thai earns absolute full marks from me. A sensational spot I shall most certainly be returning read more

Bounxou Thai - My meal Pad thai & Thai Iced tea - Thai Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

My BF and I went for dinner on a Friday evening around 6:30. This place is in a fairly busy plaza, and had a fair amount of customers in/out while we were there. The place itself was nicely decorated, but had only one server from what I can tell. She was busy running to and fro, but taking care of everyone. We ordered spring rolls, Panang curry, and pad Thai, which all came out on queue and piping hot. As far as the taste goes, they felt a little flat on the pad Thai, with a sprinkling of burnt pieces throughout his dish. The curry was made with coconut milk and very tasty but a little more watery than I was hoping for. Overall, it was good and we both agreed that we would go back and give it another try. It's in a great location for us and satisfied a Thai food craving. read more

It smell like sewage in the place it was a turn off Couldn't get past the smell & we had appetizers that was just ok Will not go back read more

Early lunch on a Friday and the place was empty unfortunately. Friendly and accommodating service. I had the drunken noodle with chicken Thai hot which was one level below their hottest. The flavor profile was very good and authentic. The heat level wasn't consistent throughout meaning there were pockets of extreme heat (which I liked) and some with less. Beyond that, portions were a good value for price paid. This place needs some love. Hopefully they get more business at dinner or takeout. read more

This by far is my favorite restaurant I can never say enough fantastic euphemisms for the food that I have had. I can honestly say with all the times I have been there and it's more than I can count, never have. I had a bad meal! The food is always the freshest and it's always served piping hot. Their vegetables are just crunchy enough to know they're fresh but still have their flavor. Their portions are ginormous. You definitely get your moneys worth with the highest quality dinner or lunch you could ever ask. The service beyond stellar! Because I go there so much and they know me so well I don't even have to tell them what I want to drink they bring it automatically. They truly treat their customers like family and that's a rarity these days! They truly care about their customers and they remember who they are. I listened to them with other tables and they take just as an active interest in them as they do Me. That's the sign of quality. I love the ambience because they always have fresh flowers and they're always dust free. So many times you'll go into places in the plants have dust on them not here. Someone truly takes care of the greenery and it is green! It's also very interesting to watch the TV screens as they do demonstrations of various Thai food preparation. I've been to numerous Thai places in Jacksonville. None can hold a candle to this one. Moreover, when I lived on the West Coast in California and I went to some fantastic Thai restaurants, they don't compare to this one! You can never go wrong here. read more

I've been wanting to try this spot for ages! It's around the corner and tonight we finally got our moment! It was absolutely freezing tonight and warm Thai food sounded like the answer...and it totally was!!! We started with the egg rolls which were fried to perfection with wonderful flavor! I chose the drunken noodle with chicken & my husband got the pad Thai with chicken. Both were incredible! My noodles were medium spice, which was spicy hot but not like burn your mouth off hot. I loved them! The vegetables were super fresh & cooked well. Hubs pad Thai was also very fresh & his sauce was a firm medium as well. Packed a punch but not burn your mouth off hot The staff was incredibly sweet & very prompt were service and refills. Will absolutely be back!! read more

One of the finest Thai cuisine place that me and my wife has visited recently to be honest. As soon as I walked in the service team greeted us and asked us to sit we're ever we liked. The ambiance and the atmosphere is very well decorated and welcoming you can see the decorations and the interiors are very well done. I must say our server was very very kind and I really appreciate all the help and suggestions that she gave to me and my wife to make our meals so enjoyable and tasty. She is very kind and lovely and has a great personality. Her name is YINGLUK. I highly recommend her and I ask people to ask for her if they ever visit this amazing restaurant. For appetiser we had their spring rolls. It was perfectly cooked and their sweetie chilli sauce and dip was just amazing. For our entree I had a glass door noodles with veggies which came along with jasmine rice which was perfectly cooked and it was amazing and tasted incredible. My wife had sukiyaki with veggies and glassdoor noodles it was soupy and delicious she enjoyed every bite. Overall it was a great and memorable dinner experience for both of us and we would definitely go back there again. If you're in Jacksonville and you like Thai cuisine. This place is a MUST !!!! read more

First time here and it's a very quaint little Thai restaurant! Has tons of Thai paintings on the wall and decorations. The menu is the typical Thai offerings, but they also have a special menu that has so many extra interesting items that's usually not seen at Thai restaurants. The lunch menu comes with a soup that is perfectly seasoned and filled with fresh vegetables like broccoli/carrots and also tofu. Now for the entree, I really wanted to try the Khao Soi (curry noodle soup) or the Pad Khring, but you can really gauge the authenticity of a Thai restaurant by their Green Curry, so that's what I went with! So it came out super fast, like less than 5 minutes after I ordered it. Which is great for me because I was really hungry, but makes me think it was pre-made already and just scooped into a bowl with each order. The flavors were decent but not the best I have had in Jacksonville. It was a very good portion size and filled with hearty vegetables like Thai as well as Chinese eggplant, green beans, green/red bell peppers, and bamboo. I ordered medium heat which wasn't very spicy for me (I usually get 4 out 5 at other Thai restaurants). Overall it was decent Thai food but not the best. I will be back to try the special menu! read more

Late night dinner and for starters ordered the 5 piece Crab Rangoons and Tom Kha Shrimp soup. Both were really delicious. The main course was the Shrimp Pad Thai and the Red Curry with rice. It was alright, but the noodles were a little burnt though. Thai Iced Tea was for the drinks and Singha Beer. The restaurant has awesome artwork from Thailand, making it feel more authentic. The service was very good and kind to us. read more

The place was empty when I arrived. I ordered the spring rolls and chicken pad Thai and asked for it to be medium spicy. Everything came out fresh and tasted great. The pad Thai had a delicious flavor, however, there was zero spiciness. The servers were all kind and attentive, and I was very happy with my visit. The restaurant is itself is kept very clean. I will be returning. read more

This is a lovely little spot with excellent food. The staff is very welcoming and servers are attentive. The menu is a little different from other Thai restaurants in the area, and that's why we like it. The sweet & sour seems to have a tomato base, but is delicious. The drunken noodles are amazing. They customize spice levels as well as ingredients, upon request. We visited a few times and plan to return. read more

Crab Rangoon was burnt. Should have checked before I left burnt burnt burnt burnt!!!!!!

Decided to try this Thai restaurant based on the menu and it offering so many different dishes. What a disappointment, the pad Thai was gooey and the shrimp was rubbery. The cashew shrimp chili paste sauce was horrible it resembled nothing like Thai food. I've been to Bangkok eating authentic Thai cuisine this restaurant has no clue about a Thai food read more

Very good. Great prices. Nice ambiance. They have wine Yeyy. Nice service. Was not crowded but I hope they get more people to enjoy the place read more

A recommendation from a friend since we were looking for another place that serves Khao Soi. This place is like eating home cooked meal. Delicious, satisfying and large portions for the price. We got our food pretty fast. We ordered Thai fried rice, Pad Thai, Tom Yum, Crab Rangoon and Khao Soi. Spice level was nice done with what we asked for. Place is clean and staff were all nice. read more

I really enjoyed every entree I had, all plates went back empty and my kids especially loved their sticky rice and mango dessert was ordered at the table and to go. It's a nice restaurant that has nice kind service but I do agree with Matt C. Yelp rating and review was spot on so I had an idea of what to expect. Thanks so much yelpers for finding another gem in the area. read more

Absolutely delicious and cozy Thai restaurant! I am so thankful I found this thanks to Yelp. The quality of ingredients was superb- so fresh and delectable. We ordered the cashew chicken with medium spice and pad see ew. Both were incredible! I also ordered the Thai tea which I highly recommend- a lovely touch of sweetness without being overbearing. Service here was exceptional. They were so very kind and welcoming to us. We truly look forward to coming back! read more

I love Thai food! I've come here four times now and love this place! Each time, I've brought someone different, and they've all been impressed. The ambiance inside is great and customer service has always been exceptional. The Drunken Noodles and the Pad Woon Sen are both delicious! The Khao Soi soup is phenomenal. The Panang Curry was tasty but probably the weakest dish I've had here. Apps have been yummy also. Flavors here are super authentic and the food packs some good spice if you ask for it. Everything I've had here has been flavorful; large portions yet affordable. I'm always looking for an excuse to stop by and can't wait for my next visit. My mouth is watering just typing this review. read more

Delicious dinner! I had the panang curry and tom kha soup with shrimp. They were both delicious and I will be back here again.

Tied for our Number 1 favorite Thai food. We are often here once a week! Everything has been amazing but some standout items are: The crab rangoons, you read that right- NOT Krab! They are some of the best I have ever had. Chef's kiss, perfection. Massaman curry- my new favorite! I was always a green curry girl (also fire) but have been switching it up lately. Tom Kha soup- top notch! read more

Having a craving for Thai food led me to try Bonxou Thai, a family-owned restaurant with flavorful seasonings in their dishes. We had the Pad Wonsoon, Pad Prik, spring rolls, and spicy Thai rice with pork - all with large portions that would satisfy the hungriest person. Overall, great food and service with a cozy Thai ambiance. read more

Delicious real Thai food. Restaurant is spotless and the food is amazing. This is our "go to" place for Thai food. Note: medium spicy is still very spicy, so maybe start with mild spicy. read more

Quaint Thai restaurant in a strip mall with very good service and delicious Thai food. I highly recommend the fresh fish and Panang Curry. The online ordering for delivery is frustrating but pick up goes smoothly. Prices are affordable, with generous portions. read more

The wife and I wanted to try something new so we found this place off of Yelp and decided to see if it was any good. We walked in around 8pm on a Sunday and because of that it was unbelievably dead. But honestly I love when it's like that because then we have the whole restaurant to ourselves. We started with the Tuptim sampler and omg it was bussin. The sauces were amazing. We loved every bit from the savory rangoons to the flavorful spring roll to the calamari. The wife loves breading, especially anything that reminds her of a fair funnel cake, so the calamari was a big hit with her. The pad Thai was excellent. We chose to get spices on the side and slowly added to it in our individual portions and ohh man with and without the spice it's some of the best pad Thai in town. The star of the show for me is the panang. I tend to judge a place on quality based on if the panang is good or not. And this place did not disappoint. This is some of the best curry if not the best in town. Honestly it's kind of no surprise tho when you notice all the aunties in the kitchen cooking this stuff up. This restaurant reminds me of going to my mom's friends restaurants as a kid and be treated like family in a certain way while still maintaining the professionalism of a restaurant and service. The service was excellent. The food was better than excellent, we will be coming back. If the owner has kids our contributions will be helping fund their schooling by eating in or by ordering takeout. Love finding a great Thai place so close to home. 5/5 stars for us. I'm about to run to my kitchen and kill the panang leftovers I'm not even lying. This restaurant deserves more traffic. Lord bless them because that food was phenomenal. read more

I have been to this restaurant a few times before. I decided to for lunch on Sunday. The food here is always excellent. I decided to order a vowl of ramen. The bowl of ramen I had was excellent and flavorful as well. The service at this restaurant is always excellent, and they always manage to get my correct. The restrooms are always clean and enjoyable to use. Because no one likes a dirty or messy restroom. The ambiance of this restaurant is excellent as well. I just love the decor of this restaurant. Parking is a little difficult to find, as it is a shared parking lot. I'm definitely returning here again soon. read more

Bounxou Thai - Thai Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

This place is awesome! Came here for a family dinner and was very impressed with the hospitality. We first started off the meal with a calamari, Tom Yum soup, dumplings and fried eggrolls which were all very delicious. We also ordered the papaya salad which is very fresh and tasty. I highly recommend this dish especially if you want to have something light before the main course. For the main course we ordered the pad Thai, spicy of course, with panang curry and green curry. The dishes come with a side of white rice. The panang curry and green curry's were not too creamy which I thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely ask for the Thai chilies on the side which can pack a punch even with a small portion. The pad Thai was also very delicious it was saucy, however great with the other options we ordered. This was a very delicious meal and everyone is very happy. Thank you for the great dinner! read more

My family and I made a visit for thai food here only because my husband's Mom's name is also Bounxou. Food did not dissapoint.. flavors were on point and compared to the other thai places around town this one comes close to home cooking. Prices are decent and portions are definitely worth it. We were able to conversate with the owner for a minute or two and the restaurant recently turned over management and they are looking for help. That's the reason I gave a 4 out of 5. Service was a little lacking as far as carryout. I did see an issue with a customer that had put an order in and waited from the time we sat down until the time we finished. Don't believe it was complicated order either but I did feel bad for her experience. My family had ordered the calamari appetizer, fish cake appetizer, lad naa, pad sa ew, curry, pho and seafood plate. Seafood plate was HUGE and had shrimp, scallop, squid and lobster, veggies and noodles. Very tasty. Pho- could use more flavoring. It was on the bland side. Lad naa and pad sa ew had similar flavoring oyster and soy sauce. It came out piping hot which was nice. But also we were hungry lol so it was a little too hot. Curry was delish. AppetiZers were also good. For a party of 5 our bill was decent. Will be back to try out the specials soon! read more

Bounxou Thai - Seafood special - Thai Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

From the minute we walked in greeted by the authentic Thai decor, the sweetest hostess turned server to the many options on the menu, Bounxou Thai is now our favorite Thai place!! We started with a large wonton soup for our family of 4. Hands down best wonton soup ever with bean sprouts and fresh herb sprigs. My husband ordered the beef lad na, served in a huge soup bowl with very generous portions. We ordered our 5 & 7 year old the pad see ew and it became my husbands favorite dish among the kids as well. Once again, very generous portions and absolutely delicious with a hint of sweetness. I ordered the the pad woon sen, the dish I order at every Thai restaurant I come across. It was hands down the best dish on the table, they all were good but this one takes the cake. I love the thin glass noodles, all the veggies and beef and the savory flavor, but I do prefer more savory over sweet. Throughout our whole meal, our server provided water (it's a rarity these days for drink refills at restaurants) and we appreciated her checking in on us and always greeting us with a smile. We will add this restaurant on our rotation and can't wait to go back!! read more
