    Ginger Chicken
    Dan J.

    Great food and the closest Thai to my house- a plus. Fast service in an casual setting We get take out here often.

    Chicken Phad Thai

    Best Thai food around. We've been coming here for over 15 years and never had a bad meal. The pad Thai and Yum Woonsen are a 10/10 and will take you to Flavortown. This is located in an unassuming retail strip along 436 in Altamonte. Service is great- the waitresses are so nice and very attentive. Definitely stop on in if you can.

    Our server was so nice. She helped us with our order. The food was SO good! I can't wait to go back. The dining room is large, but it was over quiet for a weekday lunch. I had the veggie samosas and tofu yellow curry. My friends order the Krab rangoons and edamame. We had a great time and left full!

    Food was delicious and I loved the control of spice that they gave me. The waitress was delightful.

    Pilin is a a quaint and cozy Altamonte staple that delivers some of the best Thai in Altamonte Springs. They are consistently good and the staff is so friendly and helpful. Their lunch special is hard to beat with a good price to portion ratio. The Panang Curry Chicken is my go to and I get it Thai Hot, which could be spicier in my opinion (but I love spice) and they provide extra chili to kick it up as needed.

    How have I lived here for six years and just now discovered this little Gem tucked away in a strip mall in Altamonte. The food was amazing and the service was excellent. The serving sizes were generous so I had some to enjoy the next day. I will definitely return.

    This place is such a gem and by far the best Thai in the area. Service is great and place is quaint, clean and you can have a conversation without yelling. Their take out counter is always busy. The food is fantastic, this is what we always get and it's always wonderful.

    I will forever be thankful for the chef and staff here. They're always attentive and even remember my order now. Lol The food is always amazing when I go for lunch. I always go for the pad see ew and add spices afterward. The spring roll, salad, and soup always a great start to a meal.

    This was the second time I've been to Pilin Thai. The first time was about 4 years ago when I lived close by. I also remember it not being very good back then, but sometimes I like to give places another chance. Unfortunately, the second time wasn't better and we probably won't be going back. It's not like anything terrible happened but overall it just wasn't good. The service is lackluster and the food always leaves something to be desired. My lady ordered her go-to favorite of Pad Thai with chicken (mild spice) and I order my favorite go-to Pad See Ew with beef (medium spice). Both dishes were very underwhelming and disappointing. The pad Thai came very red colored and overly sweet. My dish came bland and didn't have its normal pizazz. Both had no spice and the meats were not seasoned well at all. Just really disappointing in general, especially when you're paying $50 for lunch!

    Panang Curry
    Natesha G.

    I'm a huge fan of Panang curry and have been looking for a good spot in Orlando to replace my fav in Tampa but this version of the dish fell short for me it lacked flavor and did not taste as fresh. The service was quick but the food flavors seemed to have paid the price. I did not see much of the inside of the restaurant as I picked up a take out order

    I am vegetarian and ordered Fried tofu pineapple fried rice. It was amazing! The best I've ever had! Try this place out!

    Pad Thai with Chicken
    Mel Z.

    I have been coming here for years and it is always consistent and hits the spot when I am in the mood for Thai. The staff is nice, friendly, attentive and will answer any questions. They get busy during lunch hour due to many takeout orders, but the service as dine in, keeps steady. My go to's are Pad Thai, Red Curry, Pad Sew Ew, Yellow Curry and the Sunmer Rolls. Everything is always fresh, made to order, tasty and flavorful. If you are in the area, give them a try!

    Pad Thai Chicken
    Victoria S.

    I ordered from here on Doordash for lunch and got the Pad Thai with Chicken. They serve a good portion of food and it tasted pretty good. Their Pad Thai is more on the savory side but I prefer a sweeter/sour flavor profile. It didn't come with any lime or peanut topping unfortunately. The noodles had a good texture to them and weren't over cooked like most places. Had enough sauce to cover all the noodles and wasn't overly greasy or dry tasting. I would order from here again but maybe a different dish next time.

Service is quick and friendly. It's a storefront restaurant, in a very old building. Decor is eclectic, sort of a mashup of different genres. Tried banderillas, which are artfully crafted skewers with chicken, cheese, zucchini , and roasted peppers, with some mango vinaigrette to dress. These are as nice to look at as they are to eat. Great starter, perfect for sharing. Also tried the Jack Fruit Quesadilla. An unusual combo - quesadilla stuffed with cheese and jack fruit marinated with guajillo sauce and then topped with pineapple, almonds, apples, and cilantro. Very unique taste, and delicious! Many other things to try on the menu. Definitely will stop in again whenever in Deland.

The outside seats were full and the sidewalk packed with spectators. The dining was empty so we had our pick of seats. We were greeted promptly and our server gave us plenty of time to review the menu while catching up. Our drinks were served quickly-I got a glass of sangria which was crisp and light, not overly sweet. The food was freshly prepared and served hot. Everyone raved about their choices. I got the vegan enchiladas and my husband got the nachos. Both were delicious. The enchiladas were topped with fresh shredded cabbage and tomatoes which gave enchiladas a nice crunch in each bite. The nachos were light-not overly drenched in cheese or cheese sauce like you find in most pubs nowadays. You could taste the vegetables. The dining room is cozy with a good view of the street. Everyone we spoke with was friendly and welcoming. If our vacation plans bring us to Deland again, I know they will include a visit to De laVega.

We always order the meat and veggie combo (which is the perfect portion for two) and occasionally add an order of beef tibs. I highly recommend doing that if you're extra hungry. Everything is always incredibly flavorful, well-seasoned, and comforting in the best way. I genuinely have never had a bad experience here. The food is consistently delicious, the portions are generous, and it always hits the spot. If you've been on the fence about trying Ethiopian food, this is absolutely your sign to go for it. The combo platter is a great way to sample a little bit of everything, and it does not disappoint. The only thing to note is that the restaurant tends to have a strong incense smell inside. It personally doesn't bother me at all, but if you're sensitive to that kind of thing, they do offer a few outdoor seating options.

It sends you text updates, and the technology is actually pretty cool. It can tell when you're not close enough yet and will tell you to check in once you're closer to the restaurant. There were 6 of us in the group, so reserving ahead definitely helped. I actually had to do it twice because we reserved our spot before we left, and by the time we got there, it had timed out. I checked in again, and when we arrived, the host said, "I see you checked in twice." He told us the wait would probably be about 10 minutes, and we ended up waiting less than that before being seated. Considering it's at Icon Park and it was the night of a game, the place was packed with a lot of hustle and bustle. I was impressed that we were seated so quickly, especially with a party of 6. Our waiter, Matt, was amazing, and the food was amazing too. We ordered what felt like almost every appetizer on the menu. We had the Cali Roll Stack, Parmesan truffle fries, crispy Brussels sprouts, spinach dip, and the vegan Gardein wings. The Cali Roll Stack was probably my favorite appetizer. It was so good, and it was made with real crab. Most places use imitation crab, and Matt even told us that's why it's his favorite appetizer too. He was absolutely right. The Gardein wings were surprisingly good. We ordered the Korean chili garlic and Buffalo flavors, and if nobody had told me they were vegan, I probably wouldn't have known. I'd never had a soy-based wing before, but I would definitely order them again. The Parmesan truffle fries were exactly what you want them to be, and the crispy Brussels sprouts disappeared fast. At that point, it seemed like everyone else was tapped out, but somehow we still had room to eat. We ordered the lobster garlic noodles, and they were amazing. They didn't skimp on the lobster either. There were big chunks of real lobster throughout the dish, along with spinach and garlic noodles. Definitely one of my favorite entrées of the night. I also tried the Key Lime Cider, and I liked that they let me sample it before ordering. It ended up being really refreshing and exactly what I was looking for. For dessert, we shared the brownie cookie topped with ice cream. Oh my God. I don't even like chocolate like that, and it was amazing. Yard House has never really disappointed me, but this visit was especially good. I don't know if we were just starving or if the chef was having an exceptional night, but kudos and hats off to the kitchen. Parking was easy too. Levels 3 and 4 of the garage were free, so there was no need to pay or get anything validated. Overall, everything was smooth from start to finish. Great service, great food, easy parking, and a surprisingly short wait despite how busy it was. 10/10, highly recommend.
