Delicious food and wonderful service! Koon Thai was busy, and the restaurant was clean, welcoming, and well-run. The food was fresh, flavorful, and high quality, with a great variety of options to choose from. Definitely a place I'd recommend and return to!
The food here is good but the service and layout of the place could use improvement. I don't think they treat their customers well. I drove 30 mins to get here and found out they don't even have a system for a wait list for people who want to be seated. They said it's first come first serve and there is no waiting area to sit and it was raining outside. If multiple people want to dine in, it's left up to the customers to figure out who was first. The server who told me that was rude and had an attitude when he talked. I would've gone to another restaurant but I already planned to meet a friend there. The food was actually good and the service during the meal was fine. But the server spoke in a rude manner again when checking out. I don't know if he's overworked so he's cranky- the establishment should figure out how to staff better or to train their staff better with customer service manners. In either case, people are paying with their money to give this place business and deserve to be treated well. I will not return again because I've never had such a hassle with dining in at a restaurant which is supposed to be an enjoyable experience. It's a shame because the food was yummy. The ambiance was nice too- there were quotes on the wall. I would not recommend going to this place.
What an amazing Thai restaurant. The ambience is just stunning. I love the lights in the ceiling and the wall decorations. But what's more important is the food was phenomenal. Both the curry and the pad Thai were some of the best that we've had! The people the people at the table next to us were even commenting on how good it was. I think it's deceiving when you walk in because you are unsure what to expect. It's almost like you're going to order at the counter, but then they seat you. And you were delivered flavorful, quality food. I would definitely return.
We came across this Thai restaurant just because it's close to the place our kids was playing and we needed to grab lunch! The papaya salad came out (Thai style) wow! The flavor blew us away. Chicken satay came out and it was moist and soft and big sticks of chicken! Not the little skinny kind! Fried calamari came out and we also loved it and ordered a second portion of it! Finally our last dish was the duck salad! Everything was so good! We will definitely be back'
Koon Thai is a clean and nicely decorated Thai restaurant. I started with the Thai iced tea which was not over sweet. I enjoyed it. Ordered fried dumplings, Pad Thai with medium spice and a tom kha soup with chicken. The kitchen is small and the place was half full on our visit. They were also doing a good amount of take put orders. They have beer and wine for those drinkers. The fried dumplings were decent. The presentation for all the food was amazing. The pad Thai was next level good. It has shrimp and they left the peanuts on the side. It was the perfect amount of spice and they gave us extra chili oil just in case. The highlight for me was the tom kha soup which for me was other worldly good. It was perfect. Koon Thai is in a commercial area near the airport. There are a lot of other restaurants here. There is great food here and it is reasonably priced.
First time here for dinner last night. Ordered our usual favorites, Tom Kha soup with chicken, beef panang and chicken pad Thai. Everything was delicious. However, soup hardly had any chicken in it and had lots of whole mushrooms which was different. Also different was the broccoli in the panang which we've never seen. Pad Thai was probably one of the best I've had. Service was different here. You enter and see a counter where you would think to order first. A sign says to take a menu and find a seat. A server comes to take orders but you have to pay at the front counter. Overall, the place has a nice and cozy atmosphere.
Awesome Thai restaurant. The food was fresh and spicy. Very close to Orlando Airport. The staff was friendly and their service was excellent. The restaurant is clean and open. Awesome place to come to!
Small relaxed spot serving up delicious Thai food! Great service. We got seated immediately and food came out pretty quickly. The Thai iced tea was way too sweet for my liking, but otherwise very good.
This was my second time at Koon, and I'm so glad I came back! The first time I went was with a friend, she asked if I had ever tried it, and when I said no, she was like "let's go!" I'm so happy she introduced me to this place. It's a small, cozy, family-owned spot, which makes it feel really welcoming. The food was so good the first time that I had to bring my husband back to try it. This time we ordered the yellow chicken curry and the pad cashew nut, and both dishes were amazing, full of flavor and super satisfying. The service was just as great, friendly and welcoming from start to finish. Definitely a spot we'll keep coming back to!
Food: 5 Service: 4 Ambience: 5 Date/Time: 2/2/2025 11:30pm Order: Korean Noodles, Drunken Noodles Crowd: only 1 other table occupied but by the end of lunch, 4 more filled Food was excellent and spiced just right at level 2 heat. There was a good portion of food on the plate. The noodles and chicken were both tasty and tender. Service was good but the guy at the counter who was also your server could use some caffeine to perk up a bit. Walking around with hands in pockets and no smile gives off some negative vibes. The place was decorated up really nice with plants all around. Very inviting! Highly recommend it.
This is one of my favorite Thai restaurants hands down. The food is fantastic the service is not the best but fair. It's always clean & tidy. If you haven't tried the onion soup as an appetizer please do so you won't be disappointed. My favorite meal is the white rice w/ beef & broccoli.
We originally stopped by just for mango sticky rice after eating next door at the Mexican restaurant. A week later, I came back for dinner and--holy smokes. Our favorite Thai spot is 45 minutes away, but this place is much closer and just as good. Absolutely incredible food! Matt was awesome!
As you walk in and the menus are on the counter and there is a sign that says if eating in grab one and be seated otherwise order at the counter, but we were directed to do that by the server before even seeing the sign. We had Dumplings for an appetizer. They had chicken inside and they were different than what we normally have but really liked them. I had the Panang curry with shrimp. I've never had that kind of curry before, I got it because of other Yelp reviews. Wow it was just as others said, WONDERFUL. Any time I order curry from now on it will be Panang. I also had Chang beer which I haven't had since I was in overseas many years ago. My wife had Pad Cashew Nut with chicken and it was delicious. Our service and food were excellent and I'll gladly eat here next time flying out of Orlando MCO. read more

The food here is delicious, hot, and so flavorful! While staying at a hotel close by traveling on vacation, my wife found this spot, we took a rideshare there because it was so hot and we were not disappointment. We were greeted warmly and were immediately seated. It wasn't crowded. They have a multitude of freshly made options and Thai faves. We started with the crispy spring rolls and crab rangoons. Both were bursting with flavor. They come beautifully served on a board of greens, shredded carrots, and hibiscus blossom. The chicken fried rice is served heartily--they give you enough to take home. Everything was amazing, the bathrooms were spotless, and the milk teas are a great refresher after enjoying what tasted a great homemade Thai lunch or dinner. Great spot for lunch and well-done! read more

Had a craving for Thai Pineapple rice and this beautiful small but cozy spot by the airport didn't disappoint. Deliciously seasoned. Added a side of garlic edamame which rounded out my meal. Portions were enough for a take home treat. Service was excellent read more
Came here for dinner after Disneyworld and what a treat it was to find this gem. The food here was great and the portions were generous. We ordered the crab rangoon, papaya salad, panang curry, pad thai, and the mango sticky rice. It was so satisfying and really hit the spot. They don't have the side Thai spices that I usually ask for, but they do have a hot sauce, which works. I would hands down come back here if I'm in town. read more

I was excited to see a Thai restaurant near me that had Pad Prik Khing on their menu. So I decided to give it a try and places a take-out order. The restaurant is clean and comfortable inside; nice for casual dining. My Tom Yum soup was good, hot, and perfect heat (I chose mild). The Pad Prik Khing (I chose chicken as my protein) was a little disappointing. Presentation was nice, but the chicken and green beans were sitting in a bowl of broth. It usually has a red curry paste that kind of sticks to the chicken & veggies; saucy and definitely not a broth. I will not be ordering this again whenever I decide to give it a second chance. read more

Hands down the BEST food I've ever had in Orlando. I used to live here for three years and recently returned for a family trip. We stayed at the hotel across the street and decided to walk over. It's a small family owned restaurant and the Mom is the cook. You can tell the food was cooked with love. It was HOT, FRESH, & EXTREMELY Good. From the papaya salad, to the curry, and fried rice everything was AMAZING. The family that owns it is really nice, support this business when you are in Orlando!!! read more

Was not expecting to like this place so much. The location is almost like a strip mall with larger restaurants all around. I got the Tom Yum, crab sticks, Thai Style Wings, and Thai house salad. Everything was great. The crab sticks are full of real crab and very good. The house salad is incredible! I definitely would go back to try more of the menu. read more

12/29/25: The food was very good, we yelped for a good Thai Restaurant to do brunch before we flying back to California and Koon Thai attracted us. I ordered the Panang curry (Thai Hot), and my wife ordered the Pad Thai. Both meals were very good. I liked the, "heart" rice presentation, nice touch! The service was very good, both employees asked if we needed anything and if all was good (important to me.) Also, the bathrooms were very clean (This is a also big deal to me.), especially if the employees use the same restroom. If the restroom is dirty it makes me wonder about their hygiene and what my food will taste like. But rest assure the restrooms, here, is very clean! Finally the ambiance was nice and mellow. We would return here again... Constructive critique only: To the Caucasian employee, you're a nice guy, but when I first saw you, it appeared as if you didn't want to be there and couldn't wait till your day ended. Later as I watched you, I think I saw you're just more of an introvert, which is fine, no problem. Thanks to all of you for the great experience, including our cashier... read more

The description of this restaurant as a cozy Thai restaurant is spot on! The ambiance was great, very clean and everyone was very friendly! We ordered the pad thai, green curry and thai fried rice, I can confidently say it was one of the BEST green curries I've had in orlando! The fried rice had fried garlic on top that gave it a nice little crunch. The pad thai was so good and such a great portion size. Koon Thai will for sure be our new go to Thai restaurant in orlando! read more
