    One of the most authentic Thai spots in Jacksonville--and easily one of my favorites. This is the kind of place you genuinely crave. The Thai Esan Papaya Salad, Pad Thai, Kaprao... everything hits. I honestly feel like this place is under-hyped and deserves way more love because the food is THAT good. It's one of those restaurants you hope stays open forever. If you haven't been yet, it's absolutely worth checking out. Plenty of seating, but still cozy and warm, with the sweetest owners who make the experience even better. Highly, highly recommend.

    They were offering a mimosa with entree purchase! Nice surprise.

    Stopped in for lunch and was greeted and sat right away. The restaurant is nicely decorated. I decided to try something different and went with the pad kee mao. I'm glad I did because it was really good. The server recommended that I may like to add chili vinegar and she was right. It really brightened up the already tasty dish. I also got the roti massaman. I wish I could have that every day! Service was very friendly and helpful. Parking is not always great because it's in 5 Points but I lucked out with a spot directly across the street. Would definitely recommend Senyai to anyone and definitely want to try their curries now!

    So glad we walked by this place and decided to go in! At the moment we sat down, we received excellent service! Friendly, informative and very helpful. Food was excellent! We'll be back to try something else!

    Chicken pad thai with level 2 spice
    Crystal W.

    I ordered chicken pad Thai to go. It was very good. The portion was generous compared to other Thai restaurants in the area. But it was spicier than I expected. The spice level is from level 1 to 3. I picked level 2 and I felt my mouth was on fire. So something to consider, order 1 level below what you normally would at other Thai places.

    Delicious Bok Choy
    Portia B.

    I stopped in Senyai for a snack break while exploring 5 points. Somehow resisting the temptation of ordering a noodle or soup entree from their super straightforward but plentiful menu. I think that customers will appreciate the abundance of photos on the menu! To stay true to my snack goals, I ordered the roti and bok choy. Why was this the best execution on an often slept-on leafy green? The perfect crisping of the leaf edges complemented the juicy base. The garlic was necessary and not overpowering, as was the seemingly soy based sauce that was delicately drizzled on top. This "snack," paired with a glass of their house cabernet actually ended up being the perfect meal! I can see myself returning, still curious about the other options on their menu, but leaning into the comfort and freshness of that roti and bok choy!

    Gui Teaw Nong Gai (Chicken Noodle Soup)

    The service was great ! They are very sweet, informative and attentive! They are very quick as well! The food was some of the best food I've ever had! So flavorful and delicious. I don't often have duck but mine did have 2 little bones in it which I found and that really scared me. This may be normal so if so count this as 4.5 stars The soup was delish ! We couldn't stop eating it beyond the point of full because it was just that good! The roti was delicious as well ! I had mango sticky rice for my first time which was so good! It is very culturally appropriate inside! And clean ! They had on trendy Music which we really enjoyed! I highly recommend and can't wait to go back and try so many more options!

    Shrimp tapas
    Miranda W.

    Amazing service! Friendly and quick, the server also had great recommendations! The tom yum with shrimp (bright wonderful light taste) was small but I also enjoyed an order of roti (sooo yummy!) Husband got Gui Tiaw Nam Sai with egg noodles and added the chili sauce and it was fantastic!!!! We are so happy to have found authentic thai food! Will be back for much more!

    Drunken Noodles
    Stacey R.

    What a gem in 5 points! Went for lunch during the week and easily found parking, surprisingly. The restaurant was so cute inside and not crowded at all - perfect for a work lunch. The lunch specials were great too - $15 for an entre which includes a drink and soup or spring rolls. I will say to pay attention to spice level - as an authentic thai restaurant, I probably needed a 0 spice level. The tom yum soup was so delicious but I couldn't eat more than a few bites. The drunken noodles was incredible but I got a spice level 1 and it was a lot for me! Recommend a zero for next time! Our server was wonderful as well. Please come check out this local and authentic restaurant, it is special!

    Pad kaprao
    Colbie S.

    I'd been meaning to try this restaurant for a while, and the Vegan Chef Challenge finally gave me the perfect excuse. I stopped by on a Friday for lunch and was able to take advantage of their $15 lunch special, which includes an entrée, a drink, and your choice of soup or spring rolls. I went with the Tofu Pad Kaprao and spring rolls, and it was an excellent deal for the quality and flavor. My server was bubbly, friendly, and made the experience even better. I had such a great visit and will definitely be coming back!

    Crispy Bok Choy and Roti with Massaman Curry
    Allison C.

    We dined in on a weeknight and were seated right away. Our server was friendly and attentive. We ordered a roti and the crispy bok choy for appetizers and were not disappointed in either. The bok choy had a wonderful garlicky sauce. For entrees we ordered pad pak ruam with tofu and the kang massaman with shrimp. The tofu was crispy and the curry had a hint of cinnamon which was wonderful.

    Hello yelpers, this is my second time at Senyai. I was pleased overall. The food was fresh and delicious, as it was my first visit. The service was impeccable and friendly, and the ambience is quaint. I'll share two pictures. The first one is of the Laab appetizer that I had, which was delicious. The second is the stir-fry, which I asked to be Thai hot, and I think it was slightly burnt in the wok, but not inedible, I've had better (and definitely had worse), so I'm not using it as a negative review, but I'll give it a third try to see how they do once more. Decent Thai food is difficult to find in Jacksonville. I prefer the Larb appetizer at Senyai to other local places. This place is definitely worth a visit. Enjoy.

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.

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!

There was a longer-than-expected wait for our pad Thai ($21). 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.

    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.

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.
