Delicious Thai food! I haven't really seen thai seafood before so this was a great experience. The dishes definitely seemed more authentic than your usual place. They do have all the classic dishes but the menu is focused around things I don't really see offered: I loved the goong ob woon sen, which was like sweet/salty glass noodles with shrimp -- not overpowering flavors, blended very well... same goes for the the scallops in the red curry, the grilled salmon was great as well. really yummy oysters too. Just writing this review makes me miss the food! The atmosphere is top tier too, really elegant, but comfortable vibe. Secret bar in the back as well! read more

If you're in downtown Orlando and looking for something fun and different, you have to check out Talay The whole place has beach vibes, coastal decor with a modern twist. The food Totally authentic Thai but the presentation is super cool and Instagram worthy. Each dish looks like art but still tastes like home (if your home was in Thailand :3 They've also got a really unique drink menu. Every drink has a creative twist but you can still taste the Thai flavors in there. Loved the attention to detail. The staff are super friendly and make you feel like you're just hanging out with friends. But here's the real surprise if you walk toward the restroom you'll notice a hidden door and it's a secret bar. The vibe inside is completely different moody,cozy and totally unexpected. Definitely worth checking out. Overall, Talay is one of those places you just have to experience for yourself. Highly recommend read more

This is relatively new, near the corner of Orange Ave and 50. We enjoyed the contemporary decor and ambience. We loved the drinks and Thai food here. The cocktails were delicious. The seafood tower, as our children called, looked and tasted great, especially the grilled squid. Both Mango and Sticky Rice and Taro Sweet were superb for desserts. A little pricy for the value, but delicious. read more

Terrible experience with the staff -- from the host to the bartender and the server. The treatment felt discriminatory, and we were asked to leave the bar area in a very inappropriate and unprofessional manner. There was absolutely no customer service. I truly hope this establishment invests in properly training their team on how to treat every guest with respect and professionalism. After a stressful week, you expect to relax and enjoy a pleasant atmosphere -- not to have your frustration amplified. This was completely unacceptable. 02/14/2026 read more

Pretentious and over priced- poor service and long wait to order something or to pay. Unique dishes but small portions for the price point

Amazing food,service, & ambiance. We had the roti, oysters, salmon, coconut curry seafood, & wide rice noodles.. soo good! Not one complaint. Our waitress JoJo was amazing. Will definitely be back. read more

Atmosphere was amazing my friends and I sat at our table for about an hour and the only thing we received was drinks. The waitress only checked on the table twice and that was just to bring the table waters. Would love if they work on their customer service so the next customer doesn't have to experience not being waited on. read more

Good upscale ambiance for unique Thai dishes. My wife very much enjoyed her pineapple fried rice with tofu (so much tofu!). And my red curry was very flavorful. read more

I love this place. The food is amazing, the service is outstanding and the place looks great. I had lunch here two days in a row because I wanted to try different dishes. It's probably my favorite Thai restaurant in the Orlando area. read more

So good. I will be back asap. We l loved so much but especially the Goong Prik Kluea. The shrimp were perfectly crispy and the flavor was amazing. read more

We really enjoyed our dinner here. We started with a round of cocktails - Be a Pineapple and Banana Bourbon Barrel were favorites. We ordered starters next: Peek Gai Tod (chicken wings), Goong Lui Suan (shrimp summer rolls), and Por Pia Tod (crispy spring rolls) - all very good! Entrees we ordered included Pa Nang Scallops, Khao Pad Pu (crab friend rice), and Sua Rong Hai (ribeye). Too full for dessert! Everything was delicious, and the restaurant interior and patio are well designed. We'll be back. read more

Lovely atmosphere. We ordered our food and it arrived promptly and looked beautiful. My Pad Thai was delicious. My daughter ordered shrimp with rice, which also looked beautiful. Unfortunately, after she cut the tails off the shrimp and started to eat, she noticed there were very hard crunchy bits in her food. She ate two pieces of shrimp, then flagged down the waitress to tell her that she did not like her food and she mentioned the crunchy bits. The waitress politely took the food away and asked if she wanted anything else? My daughter by that point had lost her appetite and kindly just said no thank you I'm good.. When the bill came, they tried to charge us for both her meal and mine, and I had to say something to get them to correct it. I reminded them that she returned her food without eating it, other than two pieces of shrimp...this should not be on our bill? They came back and said she ate three pieces of shrimp instead of two out of the six. They insisted that their policy was to charge half price for food that was returned. I was appalled and could not believe what I was hearing? I told them that I would pay for the shrimp, which I believe was $12 additional to the actual meal itself? Mind you, she did not touch anything else, and there were mounds of rice and vegetables on the plate. They kept arguing with me and said their policy was to charge half price for returned meals. Finally, they came back and said they would take 60% off of her meal instead of 50%? It was getting to be a very frustrating conversation that completely ruined our meal, and made no common sense? I have never returned food at a restaurant after taking one or two bites and had anyone charge me? I certainly don't make a habit of doing that, as I try to order only things that I know I like. My daughter asked me to just let it go so that the issue didn't ruin our day with this complete non customer-focused response from Talalay. I'm disappointed because I really enjoyed my food, but the price haggle & bickering over a returned meal was a VERY bad look for Talalay. I will not be going back there again, as their Customer Service service leaves a lot to be desired. ‍ read more

We had a wonderful time at Talay. The chicken pad Thai was amazing. The spring rolls were probably the best I've had. Our server was very patient and kind, great service! Beautiful restaurant to visit for lunch or happy hour. read more

An astonishing story and experience from the creators of Isan Zaap. I felt like I was truly by the seaside enjoying some of the best seafood I've had in what feels like forever. Between different dishes we had - each were packed with flavor, from the enticing aromas to the tender proteins - I recommend trying a little bit of everything. Even their zero-proof beverages were mouthwatering. Ok but what made this whole experience next level - the ambiance, absolutely stunning and tranquil and it has a SCENT. Like a hotel would have a signature scent??? Mind blown. Loved every second of my experience, needing to go try everything. The service was spectacular, so kind and great recommendations. read more

Talay - Thai Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Food was the best Thai food I ever had in my life. The atmosphere and interior were very nice. Waitresses were not paying attention as much as they should have to the customers, never checked the table though one was just taking an order at the right next table. We ordered one desert hoping to be served with several spoons. The waiter brought none so I requested. He came back with one as I was betting to my friend. Food did not come at the same time but over all, I would still come back since the food was so good! read more

This is elevated Thai food at its best! Talay opened on January 21, 2025. It has instantly become one of Orlando's finest Thai restaurants! Talay is the Thai word for sea. The large menu is seafood-focused, but they have Thai classics and creative Thai specialties that are not easily found in Orlando. I highly recommend the Hor Mok Talay, Pla Nueng Ma Now, Keaw Wan Roti, Goong Mae Nam, Peek Gai Tod, Som Tum Thai, Tum Khao Pode, I Tim Boran, Pomelicious Mocktail, Honey's Passion Mocktail, and Wonderpop Mocktail The food was spectacular, the restaurant is beautiful, and our servers were super friendly. The entire Thai front of the house team is warm and welcoming. One highlight was the floor leading to the bathrooms and Noir. The floor is made to feel like a wave moving across the floor (video in photos). The owners of Talay also own Isan Zaap Thai Café, Thai Super Bowl, Charm Thai and Sushi, and Noir Bar (coming soon). Highly recommend! read more

Visited this restaurant in August and had the keaw won roti (absolute must for the table), sua rong hai & the tangy tamarind exception cocktail. Drinks were amazing and food far exceeded my expectations. With indoor and outside seating, the vibes were immaculate and ambiance was sophisticated. Can't wait to try the speakeasy next time I'm in town! read more

The food was delicious, the service was great, and the cocktails were so well made. I highly recommend tot and can't wait to go back! Make sure to ask the staff for recommendations. They are great with helping you find what you're craving. On top of it all, the restaurant is beautiful and well designed. You can go there for vibes alone and still be satisfied. read more

Faya was the best server! Food and drinks 10/10. We tried the chicken satay skewers, picanha steak, crab fried rice and pineapple fried rice. All were great and would order again. For drinks we tried the pineapple rum cocktail and lychee cocktail, super strong and tasty! Can't wait to come back and try more next time read more

Best Thai food I've had in Orlando. Service was great. Vibes were IMMACULATE. Definitely plan on coming again.

Talay is a cozy, modern restaurant serving traditional Thai dishes. For appetizers, we ordered the roti (the sauce was very spicy) and the Tod Mun Goong (shrimp cakes) which was tasty. They were ok. For our entrees, we tried crab fried rice and that was delicious along with Pad Thai, which tasted as you would expect. It was slightly sweet, not spicy at all. Overall, it was nice to try something new! read more

We love this spot. We get their incredible oysters, and their nice draft IPA, just about every visit. And we love visiting the hidden speakeasy when we can. The service and atmosphere are always top notch. read more

Amazing!!! We came for lunch on a Saturday just to try it out. They already had good reviews so we thought why not. Atmosphere beautiful, elegant and relaxing! The decor was just my style so I immediately felt like this was going to be a great experience. Now for the food. We ordered the wings, summer rolls, crab fried rice and sirloin. We shared everything so that we could taste a variety of options. We were not disappointed at all. I don't know where to begin, the summer rolls came with a spicy dipping sauce which was different from other restaurants who serve it with a peanut sauce. The wings were crispy and moist. The steak cooked to our asking medium also came with a sauce but it was so good, I didn't try it. My husband did and said it was really good but also agreed that the steak didn't need the sauce since it was so good. Racha ensured we had everything we needed from topping off our drinks to changing out our plates for more food. For my drink, I ordered the Thai iced tea and its the best I had. Some restaurants make it strong but here it was a perfect blend of sweet, spicy and creamy. We will be back and so glad my husband found this place! read more

Amazing vibes, very cool atmosphere and Faya is amazing! Food and service were good however not even 10 minutes after paying our bill a different server came around and asked us to leave. There was no time limit on our reservation and we were not there very long so I felt it was quite rude. If we had been there talking for 30+ minutes after paying then I would understand but they had just ran our cards and then hurried out of our table. read more

I love this restaurant and would recommend to friends whenever I have the chance! The classic Thai dishes are delicious, but their signature entrees are definitely the stars here! I also really like their selection of cocktails, very varied and flavorful. The servers are amicable and friendly and both the exterior and interior decor is clean, modern and have lots of greenery to admire. There is also a dedicated garage behind the restaurant, so parking was easy as well! read more

Really solid lunch menu option. My mom and I loved it and will be back! The ambiance in the restaurant is nice as well

Great food, love the ambience. Costal Thai. Dried the duck and it was better than expected. Recommend this place

My afternoon visit to Talay was so lovely. The ambiance is very quiet and beautiful, mid century neutral relaxing tones, chill music playing, lots of natural light. The food is so delicious. Got the Thai iced tea which was perfect, the shrimp spring rolls with a yummy spicy sauce, and the chicken satay. Racha, my server, was very attentive and sweet. There is also a speakeasy that opens at 5pm which I will definitely be coming back to check out. read more

Slow service, limited parking and expensive entrees relative to the amount of food you get will not make me return. Service was painfully slow - I had to get up to ask server for check and even then it took a while to get check. Food was tasty and unique but slow service and high prices will keep me away. read more

Amazing food and service. Very authentic and we will definitely be back to enjoy. Beautiful decor, very clean and a fun speakeasy.
