I have never been to Thailand, but I love Thai food…at least what I’ve had at the local Orlando Thai Restaurants, and there are a LOT of great ones. But I tend to go to Sea Thai more than the others.
Sea Thai Restaurant is located across from the Fashion Square Mall on Colonial Avenue, and from the outside it does not look like much…It is always easy to park, but when you walk inside you are greeted and welcomed like you are part of the family.
It is a tiny restaurant with delicate decor and tropical flowers that normally sit in the center of the table. The high ceilings prevent too much background noise making it easy for you to enjoy your company.
I love to start out with Vegetable Spring Rolls which are lightly fried and served hot and delicious. It is a small serving that you could share with one other, but if you have more than two I would recommend more than one order.
Depending on the kind of mood you’re in their hot tea is delish but their Thai Iced Tea is fabulous for anyone who has a sweet tooth. They serve a couple different types of beer and wine as well.
I have never tried a dish of theirs without loving it. All of the sides are even good! The vegetables are fresh, the Jasmine Rice is excellent – you can’t go wrong. Pretty much all of their dishes come with the option of spicing them up…and they are not kidding. I can handle most spicy things… but I never venture past medium at Sea Thai. I love it though. No matter if I get the Phad Thai, Praram Dish, or any of the Curry Dishes – I love spicing it up a bit to get that extra kick. (If you are not a spicy fan, the dishes are also delicious and flavorful on their own.)
Orlando Buzz Tip:
Try a spicy dish with a Thai Iced Tea…Excellent Combination. Want dessert? I highly recommend the Thai Donuts and Ice Cream (I’m trying the Tempura Cheesecake next time and I’ll let you know if it is not tasty… but I doubt it.)
