Thai pho
Paige S.

Quiet atmosphere, Delicious food, & Quick Service! * Don't let this little hole in the wall (in a grocery store complex) fool you. The food is delicious! *First time in. I was seated, fed, & gone in about 30 minutes. The atmosphere was quiet when I arrived (on a Wednesday around 6pm). I was the only customer except for a gentleman waiting for his takeout order. When I was seated, the waitress asked for my drink order. I ordered water. - I was pleasantly surprised to taste the water. It tasted like cucumber, very refreshing! For dinner, I ordered the Thai Phó, one of my favorite soup dishes. It did NOT disappoint! The broth was so delectable I cleaned the bowl! - I always say, "you know you've got a good soup if it makes your nose run!" - this was definitely true tonight. - the senses were cleared!!! After I finished my bowl of awesomeness, a different waitress came around (maybe one of the owners) to ask how my meal was and to refill my water. With tip, I spent $20 on my hefty bowl of soup. Not bad for good food and excellent service! I'll definitely be back!

Pad Thai

Ordered take out for Valentine's Day. Was our first time trying Lamai. Ordered chicken Pad Thai and spring rolls. The portions were plenty and the heat was kickin. Only complaint would be the lack of peanuts in both our orders of Pad Thai. Definitely would recommend and will definitely order again.

Spring Rolls
Megha D.

I came to Lamar Thai for a graduation celebration dinner! There's plenty of parking in the lot in front and it's easy to find in the shopping center. Inside, the restaurant space is a little small so highly recommend coming early or calling ahead. Our group of 8 ended up having to split into 2 tables but our wait staff was very accommodating. They don't have a liquor license but we were able to purchase beverages at the liquor store next door and bring them in which was nice! For appetizers, we ordered spring rolls as well as the crab rangoons. Both were so crunchy and flavorful and had great dipping sauces. For dinner, I had the panang curry with tofu, but our group also tried the green curry, pineapple fried rice, and basil fried rice. Everything was so delicious!! I loved how crispy my tofu was. Overall, not super fancy spot but solid Thai food!

Pad lad nah
Tiffy D.

I got the pad lad nah, and it was more like pad lad nooo. This was the blandest bowl of noodles I have ever had in my life. The gravy was watery and bland. Very disappointing meal that cost $30. The tuptim rolls were the only reason I gave this place 2 stars, otherwise it would've been one.

Place is clean, decorated beautifully and food was great Staff is very attentive. Only thing I think they should change is the music playing. Rick and foul does not match the ambiance LOL

Great food nice atmosphere and excellent service. The food isnt cheap but you get your money's worth.

Chicken pad Thai
Brian L.

I order some Krab Ragoons as well, I felt like they were room temperature not hot. I got some fried rice with fried chicken, which I highly recommend. My friend got a pad Thai chicken spice level 3. Which is mild. We got seat next to a child in the back of the booth area. The child belongs to one of the employee and makes a loud ruckus or watch movies on his iPad. It was really hard to have a conversation with friends.

Pad Thai w Chicken
Anita S.

We went to Lamai Thai for my son's birthday on recommendation of a friend, and overall really enjoyed our meal. The restaurant is fairly small, and appeared clean and well kept. The service was friendly and quick with the meals. We had chicken pad Thai, a pork side, white rice side and Massaman chicken curry. The portions were enough, but not so much that we took any home. The spice level is low by default, which was perfect for us. My curry was the best I've ever had- which honestly doesn't mean much with my limited experience, but I will definitely be back for this dish soon. Only negatives were that sodas are by the can so no refills or good fountain that we like, and with few people in and no music or background music or noise, our normal voices with kids felt like we were being very loud. A bit of background music would help with that. But we were pleased overall.

Always consistent!  Drunken Noodle, Pad Thai, Thai Tea, Steamed Dumplings and Hoi Pad Prik (mussels)

While exploring the Southside of Jacksonville today upon a colleague's glowing recommendation, I…read morehappened 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

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.

We started with the Gyoza, which is always a reliable favorite here. I ordered a mix of sushi including Tamago, a Philly Roll (properly made with smoked salmon!), and the Holiday Roll. The Holiday Roll was an incredible surprise--I absolutely loved it. Bonus: the portions were large enough that I had plenty of leftovers for lunch today. Lauren got the Drunken Noodles, but fair warning on the spice levels: she usually handles heat well and ordered a Spice Level 2, but it was incredibly fiery! She probably should have stuck to a Level 1, though she still managed to eat a good bit of it. The decor inside this location is fantastic, and watching the robot waiter cruise around the dining room adds such a fun touch to the atmosphere. Highly recommend!

The staff were very accommodating too. We always go here whenever we're in the area because of their food, ambiance and good service. They always run various promotions from time to time, so definitely check that out.

We didn't like it quite as much as last time. It was more liquidy, perhaps needing a bit longer in the pan to evaporate out some liquid and make the sauce more intense? This time it was veggie, last time chicken, which may have made a difference too. Our waiter told us we could add chicken to the veggie for $5 if we want. Our waiter was nice, and the setting might be a bit nicer than the other location (we were inside, but there's outside too). I'd like to try their mango sticky rice and roti canai sometime, and the satay again.

Love this place!…read more They have a new special- unlimitedNaan while you dine in. My husband and I thought it was delicious!

I've been to Blue Orchid a few times before, and while the service has sometimes been inconsistent,…read morethis was by far the worst experience I've had there. The food itself was good, which made the service issues even more disappointing. We ordered an appetizer before our entrées, but we were served entrée with no notice that the appetizer would be late or missing. When our dinners arrived, we asked about it (we were not told, we had to ask) and were told the sauce was still being made for the appetizer. Later, the roti was brought out by itself with no curry, with no context. Victoria, our server, just dropped it off. After trying to find our server for several minutes (because she did not check on us to ask how the meal was), I asked about the sauce and was then told that another employee was supposed to have informed us that they were out of it. She said this in a scolding tone that made me feel bad for even asking. Eventually, the curry did arrive, but by that point we had nearly finished our meals and we had spent so much time annoyed about where our food was, we were not happy to eat it. There were other strange service moments as well. Our table was initially missing silverware, and at one point I began refilling my own small water glass from the bottle left on the table. Victoria abruptly took the bottle out of my hand and told me, "No, I'm supposed to do that for you." That interaction felt unnecessarily brusque, especially after we had already spent much of the meal trying to get basic information about food we had ordered. The price point made all of this harder to excuse. My $17 bowl of tom yum was essentially tofu and vegetables in spicy broth. I understand that restaurant prices include far more than the raw ingredients, but that is exactly the point: when I'm paying that much for a simple entrée, I am also paying for service, atmosphere, and a pleasant dine-in experience. I do not expect to spend the evening confused about where our food is or feel scolded for asking about it. They did ultimately discount the appetizer by half, which I appreciated, but the overall experience was still extremely disappointing. This was our first time coming on a Saturday night, and we specifically chose Blue Orchid because we wanted to spend a little more for a nice atmosphere and a relaxing evening. Instead, the service made the meal so confusing and stressful that by the end my husband and I were basically angrily eating the panang curry. At this point, we won't be returning to dine in. If this were a fast-casual or primarily takeout restaurant or if it were even a slow weekday, I would calibrate my expectations differently. But at these prices, service and hospitality are part of the product, and on this visit they simply were not there. I've had better experiences here in the past, which is part of why this one was so disappointing. On what should have been one of the restaurant's strongest nights, Saturday evening, they did not simply drop the ball -- they forgot about it and scolded us for reminding them.

The décor was nice and there was a decent amount of seating available, enough to accommodate our group of 10 and another large group at the table next to ours. It looked like people came here with their families for special occasions. There was only one person working to cover everything from seating, take out, serving, etc., and he did an amazing job of staying on top of everything. He even took the time to explain to me that they recently decided to make their entire menu (save for the fried items) gluten free due to many requests they'd received from their customers. It was so nice to eat at a place that was so considerate! Their menu is definitely more fusion than authentic. I asked the server for a recommendation and he told me his favorite is the Curry Fried Rice, but it was a big portion, so I opted for his second favorite, the Drunken Noodles. I asked about the spice levels and asked for mine to be more spicy. It wasn't as spicy as I hoped, so I asked for a spice tray and added several spoonfuls of various chili flakes and peppers. My colleagues got the yellow curry and said it was basically flavorless, but they liked their Drunken Noodles. I'm thankful to have the gluten free option, but I was missing the essence of the classic/authentic flavor. Overall, the décor, ambience, and service was great, but the food was just okay.
