The lunch menu items also come with a side salad that has a peanut vinaigrette and it was phenomenal. As someone who loves peanut sauce, I was a huge fan. Our server was so nice and attentive. The decor inside was nice and they played pleasant music. I can't wait to go back.

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.

There are not many tables for dining there, but there are a few - while we were there the restaurant was doing a brisk take-out business. The food was truly delicious. Hubs enjoyed his drunken noodles with chicken (Thai hot!), and I loved my Penang curry with tofu. I ordered mild to medium and it was on the upper level of my heat tolerance (ordered mild when I returned the 2nd time and just added some heat myself). We tried the curry crab Rangoon - they were ok. Also enjoyed the purple sticky rice with mangos - so yummy! Looking forward to returning!

This place is amazing. Brandon took our order- he's part chef, along with his wife and his father…read morein law and his kids are back there helping as well (they're 18) so it's definitely family owned and operated. Brandon's wife's family is from Laos. The restaurant has been open about 6 years. Why did it take me so long to come here?? It was my dad's birthday. So we went to lunch and shared the papaya salad with Thai style dressing, the summer rolls with extra peanut sauce, and he had the pad Thai w shrimp and I had the pad see ew with chicken. Dad had a Diet Coke (can) and I had a Thai coffee with extra ice. Everything we ordered came packaged in to go boxes- so if you don't finish- it's ok! It's ready to take home. But since we were eating there, they gave us two plates and our choice of chopsticks/fork/spoon etc. The food is made to order but still came out fast. Two to go orders were processed while we perused the menu and another to go came in while we were eating. A table for three came in during that time as well. So this place is probably more take out than dine in. The iced coffee was as predicted - sweet. But not overly sweet. The extra ice toned it down a bit. The summer rolls were huge. He was right to suggest an extra sauce for $0.50 because my dad pretty much used the entire sauce ramekin for himself. The papaya salad was great. Lightly dressed. Lots of shredded papaya with a chunk of cabbage in it, some stewed? Tomatoes. They have the option for Laotian dressing but I am not familiar with that fermented fish sauce? So I went with the Thai style which is regular fish sauce. I probably should have been more adventurous. We got the salad mild so no spice. For my dish I went with level one spice which is mild medium. You could definitely feel the heat after you swallowed the bite. I can't imagine what level 6 spice is like! Pad see ew was delicious. Those chunky soaked noodles in brown sauce with lots of big veggies. I got the chicken. Next time I'll do double meat. I like more meat. Dad had the pad thai w shrimp medium spice. It was definitely more spicy than mine but tolerable. Again- I would get double shrimp, but that's my opinion. We did not get dessert. We thought about ordering the beef waterfall- that will be my next dish. And they had some new specials! So I will definitely be back. I love the Christian atmosphere- not overwhelming and honestly you could go in for take out and not notice it. They do a great job with the food and customer service. In fact, they gave us a discount because my dad is a veteran and he was wearing his hat which reflected his service, and the owner noticed it. He thanked my dad for his service :) the discount was not expected and was a surprise! Wow! I would recommend this place. Family owned and operated. Food is great portion and delicious, made to order. I will be back.

My wife and I were looking for some hot Pho on a cold day after my doctor's appointment, and I…read morefound this place on Google Maps, literally 5 minutes from my doctor's office. 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.

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.

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.
