We’ve rounded up the best Thai restaurants in Florida — prep your taste buds!</p><h3>Wandee Asian Fusion Thai Restaurant, Tampa, FL</h3><br/><p>Wandee Asian Fusion not only has the most delicious Thai food in all of Tampa, but they also serve other Asian cuisines. Their pho and sushi are especially popular among regulars. Customer service is always excellent, but note they don’t serve alcohol.</p><h3>Smiley Thai To Go, Largo, FL</h3><br/><p>Smiley Thai To Go is a small restaurant tucked in an outdoor mall. There are limited seating options, so this is the best Thai place if you want takeout or delivery. The summer roll, fried rice, and Tum Kha Soup are favorite options among customers.</p><h3>Pacific Thai Cuisine and Sushi, Oldsmar, FL</h3><br/><p>Pacific Thai Cuisine and Sushi offers the best lunch menu. There are plenty of combo options, and they even offer massive “lunch boxes.” Pacific Thai Cuisine and Sushi also includes different sushi and poke bowl specials.</p><h3>Hawkers Asian Street Food, Orlando, FL</h3><br/><p>Hawkers Asian Street Food is an Asian Fusion restaurant that serves street food-inspired dishes. Their Thai dishes, such as the Pad Thai Lettuce Wraps, are fan favorites, along with a mix of Korean, Chinese, and even Indian dishes.</p><h3>Real Thai Fusion Restaurant, Miramar Beach, FL</h3><br/><p>Real Thai Fusion Restaurant is the perfect place if you not only want great food but also a cool atmosphere. Beautiful traditional Thai decorations adorn the restaurant, and their meal presentations are just as remarkable.</p><h3>Bangkok Cuisine, Homestead, FL</h3><br/><p>Bangkok Cuisine offers great Thai food with quick service. Their regulars love the customizable dishes and variety of flavors. Bangkok Cuisine also serves sushi and offers its own unique roll creations.</p><h3>Lung Yai Thai Tapas, Miami, FL</h3><br/><p>If you want an interesting twist on classic Thai dishes, visit Lung Yai Thai Tapas in Miami. Located in Little Havana, they serve Thai street food, and some of their menu items have a Spanish twist. It’s worth noting this restaurant doesn’t accept reservations, and everything is first come, first serve.</p><h3>Siam House, Fort Lauderdale, FL</h3><br/><p>Siam House not only offers authentic Thai dishes but some menu items that are hard to find anywhere else, such as Ped Palo, Boat Noodle Soup, and Papaya Salad. Because of these rare dishes, this restaurant attracts not only locals but also tourists.</p><h3>Simply Tasty Thai, Jacksonville, FL</h3><br/><p>Simply Tasty Thai is the best place if you not only want excellent service but want to meet the owner. Nancy has been cooking Thai food for over 20 years and makes all sauces from scratch. Make sure you save enough room for a full meal–the appetizers, soups, and mains are all to die for!</p>]]></description><pubDate>Sat, 10 Feb 2024 06:01:42 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://bestlocalthings.com/fl/thai-restaurants</guid><category>Evergreen</category><category>Food-drink</category><dc:creator>Alli Hill</dc:creator><media:content medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://bestlocalthings.com/media-library/fl-thai-restaurants.jpg?id=52092111&width=980"></media:content></item><item><title>Oldsmar Street Festival</title><link>https://bestlocalthings.com/fl/oldsmar-street-festival-oldsmar</link><description><![CDATA[ <p>Keeping it Local with local Business Vendors, Craft Vendors, Food Vendors, Food Trucks, Car Show, Live Music, Fresh Air!!
