Delicious Thai food beautifully prepared, gracious and fast service in this lovely little restaurant. I've enjoyed the perfectly spiced entrees and soups at Tai Phoon and I look forward to returning . The Pad Thai is expertly prepared with the fresh ingredients blended exquisitely and included a generous portion of plump and tasty shrimp. We tried Thai Hot Herb Chicken and loved the curry paste coconut milk blend with snow peas , bamboo shoots ,bell peppers and basil. The garlic and black pepper Frog Legs were also very good , nicely prepared in tasty garlic and black pepper sauce served over broccoli , carrots and cabbage. The Tom Yum shrimp soup had three large plump shrimp and the broth was as perfect as it could be. The lovely waitress provides such courteous , pleasant and gracious service and added to the whole experience. I definitely look forward to coming back often and trying their different sauces ; all of which so far have been perfectly prepared. read more

Doesn't look like much from the outside. Service was awesome, food was even better. I will be a return customer.

After wandering around an fried food haven for days, we finally found this place and what a relief, for my spirit and body! While they have fried Thai options like fried tofu and rice, they also have fresh vegetables, lovely jasmine tea great spicy and non-spicy Thai food that made it a real pleasure. Someone said something about the decor but I think it was pretty good considering what they must have had to work with. And since the food and service where do good, who cares - Right by the Sav a Lot so great parking! - they don't answer their phone - chairs leave a lot to be desired read more

This is one of the better Thai restaurants I've been to, and I eat a lot of Thai food. Our friends who live in the area dine here often, and told us the chef once worked in the royal kitchen. After eating here, I believe it. Everything we tried was very fresh, with perfectly balanced flavors and careful use of fats. Most folks rate a Thai place on the Phad Thai, but it's the green curry that's my barometer, and theirs is great. The dumplings look more like shu mai, but tasted like dumplings should, served wit one of those dipping sauces that I could just drink straight up. The service was professional and very friendly. Perfect. read more

Nice surprise in little ole Crystal River. Thai Phoon makes very good Thai food. It is more traditional then many other places I have been in larger cities. They tend not to over sweeten dishes and use the right about of herbs and sour components to give their food authenticity. On this trip I had the Tom Ka Chicken Soup. Love the broth of the soup. The chicken is merely steamed sliced and added with a couple mushrooms(consistent with other Thai places) but the broth is spot on. They make a wonderful Fresh Roll which is a cold rice paper wrapped veggies with Shrimp and Thai Basil. Great peanut dipping sauce. Finally I had the Pad Thai hot which had a great balance of flavor, again the "sour" or tart flavorings really make the food pop. The hot was not as hot as I was ready for but it was a nice glow that lingered. Service here is "homey". Nice folks but do not expect a high end experience. The food is cooked to order so you might have to wait a bit and if they are slammed, that can be a small issue. Great food. Nice folks. Exceptional for such an out of the way location. read more

The food is good. Not my favorite massaman curry but it was still better than other types of food. I am kind of a Thai food snob. Give it a try read more

We have been searching for good Thai food for two years since we moved to North Florida. After being spoiled by our old Thai restaurant Bangkok Cuisine in Homestead FL. Service was friendly and fast. Food was what we have become accustomed to freshly cooked and full of flavor. Definitely worth the 1 Hour Drive, read more

One of the best places in Crystal River, need to get here early as they fill up fast. I've tried the pad Thai I wasn't impressed but the curry and clear noodles are great. Other people are saying the pad Thai is great maybe it just wasn't a good night for me. read more

This place is amazing! Highly recommended spot if you're looking for not fried fish. Go with the spring rolls, pad Thai or Double Delight! Take your mama here for a nice dinner. read more

This is my favorite Thai place in the Citrus County Area. It is easily comparable with Thai places you would find in larger settings (and I have been to many), yet still has the quaintness of small town dining. I've sampled many things from the menu, but my absolute favorites include the Panang Chicken, the Massaman Curry, and the Tom Yum soup. If you are a fan of spicy like I am, be sure to tell your server that you want your dish Thai Hot, I promise you won't be disappointed. If you really love spicy, then tell the server you want Thai Hot plus plus plus, but be prepared to sweat. The service is excellent, the food is excellent, and overall, I highly recommend this little spot of heaven for all your Thai cravings. read more

Thai Phoon - Thai phoon's amazing panang chicken - Thai Near Me - Crystal River, Florida

Had the sweet and sour beef. Wife had the cashew chicken. Both came with delightful chicken soup and a spring roll. Both main dishes were fresh, very tasty, filling, beautiful to look at. The menu is huge and varied. Prices were very reasonable. Tables were new, clean, attractive, and well spaced. Service was prompt, attentive, and knowledgable. Background music was soothing and at the perfect low volume. Will be going back soon. read more

Best Thai I have had since moving to Florida from California. I've had some really good Thai food. It's my favorite flavor of cooking. I usually try the pad Thai because if a place can't do that right it's not good. This place does it right. Although I wasn't asked my spice level. When it arrived it was very flavorful. I asked for chili 3 scoops in and I was in heaven. Lunch came with chicken soup and pork spring roll and as a vegan she kindly let me know ahead of time as I ordered tofu pad Thai she was wise enough to assume correctly. Service was quick, kind and courteous. Food was hot fresh and worth the price. This place could use a face lift, good dusting and please hide the pest control calendar on the wall. The dive restaurant are usually good but unnerving at first. Please give this place a try if you love Thai food like me. Enjoy read more

Just had a late lunch at Thai Phoon - we are traveling and after reading reviews, we decided to stop. What a wonderful decision! I had Massaman Curry - totally delicious! Service was great. If you're passing through, try it! You'll be glad you did. read more

Authentic Thai curry. Got the panang and green curry. Good portion. Pad see ew it's ok. Great service.

We came to Crystal River for the Manatee Tour and tried to find a good Asian restaurant in the area. Based on the good ratings by many people on Yelp, we decided to go to Thai Phoon. The restaurant was very clean and the service was good. Although we are not Thai, their food looked authentic. We ordered Steamed Seafood Curry, Green Curry, Pad Thai, and Pad Ba Mee. Everything was delicious, but it was not as spicy as typical Thai food, maybe because we did not specify the spiciness and they made the food mild. You may want to order at least a moderate level of spiciness, if you prefer the typical spiciness of Thai food. read more

I stopped in to PU take home. The Pad Thai was Dry and not very well seasoned. I'm used to my Pad Thai being more saucy and this was so dry it wasn't tasty at all. Soup I ate there was OK I've had much better. read more

In town for a few days and so glad I decided to eat dinner here. The service was great, my meal was very delicious and reasonably priced. Heading back there before I leave town. If your in the mood for Thai food, without hesitation I recommend Thai Phoon. read more

Excellent Thai food. We ordered mild, and it was a little spicy (we are pretty timid), but the 'heat' did not overwhelm all the other flavorings...the two curries were outstanding, and the noodle dish the waitress recommended was excellent as well. The dishes were $10-12, which is fair given the high quality, but a bit more than some reviews on some sites implied. read more

While visiting Three sisters spring, I was pleasantly surprised but the authenticity of flavors at Thai Phoon.

Fantastic authentic Thai food (and I've been to Thailand). Having this restaurant around the corner from Crystal River Plantation was really convenient. We ate well throughout our vacation, but this place takes the prize. The appetizers are varied and all are wonderful. The entrees are great as well. read more

I had the drunken noodles with shrimp and wow they were great. The crab Rangoon was amazing too. Service was prompt and everything came out on time. The portion was larger than I could eat in one sitting I will definitely come back read more

This is one of my all time favorite restaurants ever! Food is never short of amazing and they never let us down. We come here every year and I just assume only eat here. Have eaten every restaurant in Crystal River & Homosassa Springs and no one comes close. read more

This is one of the best thai restaurants in the country! Thai is our favorite food and this was a great find. My daughter said this might be worth the seven hour drive to come back for! read more

Hidden gem. Great food, very authentic, great service. Reasonable price. Highly recommend.

My favorite Asian style restaurant here in Citrus County... You can't go wrong with Thai and the fried rice is far better than Chinese style fried rice. The lunch specials here are mostly under $10 and include a cup of soup, spring roll, main course and white rice (unless it's a noodle dish in which case rice is not served ). My comfort soup is their chicken noodle and they accommodate by giving it to me as the lunch soup choice. Pad Thai (with shrimp) is awesome and my favorite is the Garlic and Pepper chicken. The curries are all phenomenal. Delish! Spring roll is tasty and not greasy at all (fried). The clincher for us is the rare Coconut Rice which we order for dessert. It's under $3 and is fantastic...enough for two to split. I'd highly recommend this wonderful restaurant and the service is above par, too. Try it! read more

Tucked away in a run down strip mall, the decor is a 1 star, but the food is solid and good. The tofu is done well in their dishes and the spices good. read more

My friend had been telling me how great the food was, and I was reluctant to accept her invitation as I had never had Thai food before. I am so glad I accepted and that my introduction to Thai was at Thai Phoon! I had Pad Ba Mee with shrimp and was delighted. The seasonings were perfect, the noodles weren't dry or mushy. The vegetables were crisp. The soup and spring roll served as an appetizer were delicious. I could have continued eating more soup and spring rolls and been happy they were so good. The servers were friendly, the restaurant was clean and well lit and the prices reasonable. I will definitely be going back! read more

Cute little place tucked away in a strip mall. Quick friendly service. Been here twice amazing both times!

Very good meal for a decent price. Had fried spring rolls and Shrimp Pad Woo Sen which is a Bean thread(glass) noodle dish with egg, onion, mushroom, snow peas, corn, and carrots. Made just spicy enough for lunch! If it was dinner and I could enjoy a beer then would have gone hotter. VERY pleasant and friendly host and waitress. Will definitely return again!!! read more

Amazing place. This is for all the fans out there of real thai food, by which I mean fans of fish sauce. It's a really good place that has all the normal thai options. They did make sure to ask us weather or not to use fish sauce so I'm sure they can cater that to vegetarians. Unlike a lot of other thai place I see now-a-days they have souls by cup instead of by bowls or just cups for lunch, which was great because it was only 4 dollars a bowl and we could each get what we wanted. I had the red curry and it was pretty good though not the best, though it has the good fishy taste of a good curry base that a lot of American thai places don't have. I had no problems with service like some other reviewers have had. Highly recommend the Tom Yum and Tom Kha, some of the best I've had in America. read more

Very disappointing this time! We had an order to pickup and this time the pad Thai was over cooked, dry and the shrimp burned! Extremely disappointing! read more
