I have come to this Thai restaurant at least 3 or 4 times and have never been disappointed. This…read morepast weekend, my family of 4 came for lunch. Everyone in our table found the food tasty and delicious starting with the appetizer mee krob and crab Rangoon. We had drunken noodles, pad Thai with duck, pad woonsen with duck and the soft shell crab. All servings were more than generous so much so that each one of us had leftovers to take home. Service was prompt and quick. I like that the servers were team tagging on our table despite the fact that there were other occupied tables (probably half a dozen) with 3 or 4 diners. It was not a very busy Saturday lunchtime though diners were coming in and out. But I've been here on weekdays and the place could get loud. Prices are fair. This is definitely one of the better Thai restaurants in Ocala. All 4 of us decided that we'll come back to taste the other interesting offerings in their menu. Highly recommend that you come and try as well.

Our GPS brought us right to this hidden location (smaller strip mall behind larger ones just off College Rd/Hwy 200 near the Walmart at 484.

We chose our meals and our server produced them from the kitchen in a quick manner (we were there for lunch but they weren't busy). Both of us enjoyed our meals and had plenty to take home to savor another time. To be honest, I enjoyed my meal so much, I returned a week later with another dining companion and they also enjoyed their meal.

Will definitely be a regular spot for us. Thanks Alex!!!

We had the satay, tom yum goong, papaya salad, drunken noodles, egg rolls, and panang and every bit of it was the best I have had in Ocala. The charming owner, with whom we stayed and chatted awhile after we ate, also said that you can request your food prepared Thai Style for a more authentic, albeit strongly flavored, experience which I am thrilled to try.

When the food came, I was impressed. The care they put into creating a beautiful dish is only outdone by how delicious the food was. I ordered the Panang curry; my husband, the ramen; and my son, the crab fried rice. The curry was creamy, a touch spicy and full of goodies. The ramen broth was so flavorful and it included all you would expect and a little more. The crab fried rice had a generous amount of crab and the rice was moist and fluffy. Then we ordered desserts. I ordered the coconut cake! Best I've ever had! It's my favorite type of cake so I'm truly biased. And this was absolutely amazing. My husband ordered the coconut ice cream with fried banana coins. The ice cream was the perfect flavor of coconut and the bananas were so crispy. My son ordered the Thai donuts. I was skeptical but when they came, they were light, perfect little puffs and whatever the dipping sauce was provided the perfect amount of sweetness. This was a truly delightful experience and one fantastic meal! This is definitely our new Thai place!

Freddy initially took our order since we were the first ones in the restaurant, then Ken took impeccable care of us at our table (and you pay at the counter). I had the Shrimp Spring Roll (3 large rolls with a light bean curd wrap: NOT fried but fresh, delicious and perfect for my Weight Watchers diet). THAT was amazing and it's served with a peanut sauce that was also delicious (I mixed it in with a bit of soy sauce on my last roll). My friend had the Pho (Vietnamese soup) and it was excellent, she shared: an ample amount of everything where it was more like a thick stew which is PERFECT. This will be my favorite lunch place now and I'm looking forward to trying the fried rice or stir fried noodles or vermicelli (with a protein) next OR the grilled pork or grilled chicken sandwich (bahn mi). LOTS of options including quite a few VEGAN options since Tofu is also on the menu with many items. Lots of Smoothie and Fruit tea selections that look delectable also. Citrus County denizens...DO give this place a try and you will NOT be disappointed. It's the best Pho in this and surrounding counties, because we've tried them all. A+
