    Tom Kha Gai
    Tegan A.

    The service was very nice and the ambiance was good as well. The coconut flavor of the Tom Kha Gai was yummy and had a light and delicious flavor. I will say I have had better, but I was by no means disappointed. The Roast Duck Noodle had a delicious broth to match with the flavors of the duck and the texture of the noodles. The ducks crisp skin added a more intricate texture and flavor to the dish that contrasted well with its other elements. The only thing I would remark on is adding less bean sprouts as they were outnumbering the noodles. Overall, was a good experience and would eat here again.

    My mother in law wanted to spend time with the grandkids and we had to run errands so we decided to also get something to eat but go somewhere we wouldn't necessarily bring toddlers. My husband suggested we try this place one more time in person. (We had this to go one night a few years back and it was terrible which did not reflect the amazing reviews. If a place is bad- I give it another go around). Although it may be kid friendly, it's a tight space like most restaurants in plazas so we find ourselves hushing our toddlers more than enjoying the ambience and food in these places so if you're like us worrying about other people's comfort all the time, try it without the kids!) It's decorated with Thai culture in mind and very pretty. Upon walking in we were greeted almost immediately by a very sweet woman with a huge friendly smile The restaurant seemed very clean considering it's not new, and given all the different decorations. We ordered Krab Angels (wontons) and they were so tasty! There was sooo much stuffing in them! Our go to at any Thai restaurant are Panang and Massaman Curry. We ordered medium because we don't mind a kick. Both were top notch! Somehow we favored the Massaman over the Panang because their Massaman seems to have a unique sweetness that we haven't experienced elsewhere. With the savoriness of potatoes and nuts and the sweetness, it made it absolutely delicious! The waitress cracked jokes and laughed at our cheesy jokes as well. All in all it was such a great experience and we are so happy we tried it again. You could easily share one curry and get an appetizer or dessert and you'd most likely feel satisfied. We could have easily saved half of each curry for another meal. The price is reasonable for the amount of food you get and the quality.

    Soup of the day

    Dined here during the week for lunch. We were greeted immediately and seated promptly. We ordered our usual Tom Yum Soup with chicken and Thai Basil Chicken. The lunch special also includes the soup of the day and a Spring Roll that was a surprise. Everything had great flavor and the service was good. They also have a trio of pepper sauces/flakes if you'd like to kick it up a notch, as I do. The ambience was typical for a strip center setting.

    I can't say enough good things about this spot. I cannot wait to go back for this again. You are greeted at the door, stellar and attentive servers and the FOOD! Pictured is the JB Tempura roll and I had the red curry chicken lunch and my bf had the beef ginger. I just left and I already want it again! Also the ambiance is very cute, lots of room for tables and well decorated. Felt very clean and cozy. We will come back soon !

    A huge bowl of massaman curry. Spicy and delicious!

    This Thai restaurant is in a mini strip mall and doesn't look very promising, but don't judge the book by its cover. It is really great! All of your Thai favorites and also a first class sushi/sashimi bar. The service is very attentive and there are tables and booths that can accommodate parties of various sizes. We had the basil duck and massaman curry. Both were very ample and delicious. They also have wine, beer and Sake at reasonable prices.

    Pad Thai with shrimp takeout

    Ever since I left the DC area, I've had trouble finding decent Thai food. I'm visiting family and tried Jao kitchen. I had pad Thai with shrimp level 4 spicy and spring rolls. It was excellent! I would absolutely eat this again. I might bump down one spicy level. I really like spicy and this was just about right. I hate too sweet pad Thai...this was not. It was perfect!

    Jao Thai Kitchen 914 W. New Haven Ave. Melbourne, FL 32901 4.5 Stars (I went again after this review and it was even better) Arg! I stared in disbelief at yet another Thai/Sushi combo place staring up at me from my random name generator. You have got to be kidding me. How many of these hybrid clip joints have sprung up as of late? They are beginning to look a lot like Starbucks...you know, one on every corner. This time, I was headed to Jao Thai Kitchen, located in a minuscule strip mall just east of Dairy Road in Melbourne, FL. My wait staff for this culinary excursion was none other than One. While I have it on good word that One is the loneliest number, I have to admit I appreciate the new identity of using a form or letter of their actual name instead of a random generic "American" name such as Mary or Sue. This is now the 5th Thai restaurant where I encountered this new nomenclature, which is a refreshing and positive change. I asked One for an order of their Jalapeno roll, some Chicken Panang Curry and a Tuna Hand Roll. One returned at a moment's notice with our order and after snapping a few pics, I grabbed the Jalapeno Roll and commenced tasting. This exciting concoction consisted of tuna, salmon, hamachi, asparagus, cucumber, smelt roe, jalapeno and spicy sauce topped with avocado. Like all stuffed rolls, this one can trace its roots back to the California roll sans the obligatory fake crab center. I prefer this type of roll as I really don't like paying for fish masquerading as crab. There was just enough kick with the jalapeno and spicy sauce to entertain one's taste buds. Next up on the Big Boy's palate was the Chicken Panang Curry. Panang Curry has to be one of my favorite of the Thai curries. It is mild, complex and sweet with a hint of heat. This was perfectly cooked, including the tender pieces of all-white meat chicken and Thai basil, carrots and bell peppers that were fresh and obviously sliced in the back. This brings me to my Sushi join barometer of the Tuna Hand Roll. I found this one to be better than most, but it's still not quite what you would find in a traditional Sushi Ya (shop/restaurant). The tuna was a lovely shade of red and the rice was steamed to perfection. However, I found it to be severely lacking in the traditional additions one usually finds in a Tuna Hand Roll, such as a slice or two of Gobo (Japanese Burdock root/carrot or, more often, plain carrot), watercress sprouts and cucumber. This was fine, just on the simple side. It would have been rather bland on the palate if not for soy sauce. The Big Boy says, "If traditional Japanese Sushi is not your thing, for whatever reason, or you are just hankering for a hunk of raw fish and are nearby, Jao Thai Kitchen can adequately fill that sushi void."

    Salad

    This is a cute restaurant in a small strip mall. The food was okay nothing to rave about but it was fresh so that's always appreciated. If you have high blood pressure the wonton soup is for you no seasoning or salt whatsoever. The staff was accommodating and even had suggestions and substitutes options. I wouldn't go back but I also didn't try their signature dish pad Thai so maybe I went wrong.

I went on Yelp and saw Chez Quan's only five minutes away from where we were located. All the reviews were great! So we decided to go. It was just a little tiny place in a strip center. The food was amazing! I had a feeling it was going to be good because all of the reviews. My husband ordered the "Philly Philly Cheese Y'all". It wasn't your usual Philly Cheesesteak. I would say it probably had a little Puerto Rican/Thai flair. It was delicious! I had the "Sawadeezle" which also was very good. I enjoyed trying something new.

What I will say is that the food quality and portions are getting weaker as time goes by. I get we are facing harder times with food prices, but the prices have went up 50% and the portions has decreased at the same time. When I spend $17 on a a plate I can't even get full anymore. Pictured is a $15 plate with maybe 6 shreds of chicken? Used to come with green and yellow zucchini. The chicken used to be cooked with the seasoning. Not just cooked and then a dash of it on top. The bottom of the rice, soaking wet and soggy from the juices that used to be Drained properly. If I get a sour bowl the rice is almost non existent and the meat portions are severely decreased. I remember when I would have to save some of my plate. Now I spend $17 plus $3 tip and for $20 I can't even have a meal that gets me full. It's just sad because the workers and owners are so awesome! The first few years were the absolute best. I'd say since 2020-2022ish it started getting less and less quality and less food portions plus massive price increase. I hope they see this message and go back to the old portions because the prices are already up. Idc if I pay $20 for a meal. Just want to get full from it like the old days. Most Asian places ALWAYS load your plate. The mall, panda, Chinese food, Siam orchid, etc they give you heavy portions for even less money. Wondering why chez quans has to cheap out .

    Well, now, I want to cry…read more I can't believe I've lived in this area for 8 years and this is my first visit. The host was super friendly and warm! Greeted us immediately even though she was just coming off helping someone else and she sat us in a booth as requested with no issues. Just two of us, so I wasn't sure if it would be an issue. It wasn't! This place is AWESOME inside! Beautiful and creative themed murals all over the walls. Totally set the vibe as a casual and ultra cool spot. Our server was friendly without being obtrusive. Definitely gave us our space but made eye contact from across the room in case we need anything. We started with the Sushi Mori A, which we thought was going to have a roll and 10 pieces. We asked if we needed to pick and the server started listing what it comes with. So many amazing selections so we happily said yes! Well take whatever it comes with. Wow! It actually arrived with closer to 18-20 pieces (and yes we checked the price at the end and we paid for what we ordered as expected). We were absolutely floored by the variety and quality. Everything was fresh. Texture spot on. Nothing slimy. Nothing grey. Nothing fishy. Just pure, clean, water/ocean tasting pieces. All expertly assembled, nothing was sloppy. Hubs, who is mid on sushi, was so satisfied, so happy, he's legit excited about coming back for this boat, other boats, and bringing friends to show off the quality. Were we done? No. Bc this IS a Thai restaurant we had to try specifically Thai food. He'd never had any, so he wasn't sure what to expect. Ordered Beef Cashew Nut and he LOVED it. He first commented that he forgot to order fried rice instead of white, but as soon as he started eating noted it didn't need fried rice. There was so much flavor in the dish it would have been unnecessary. I ordered Beef Chili Paste. I was worried about the spice so went with mild. Next time I would definitely go medium bc I wanted a tad more heat. But the flavors in the dish were so good! Savory, probably oyster and soy sauce on top of chili paste. It was beyond my expectations. We had the Singha Thai beer and some cold Junmai sake. Both were excellent. The Singha tastes light, even though it's just a regular lager. Sake was not too sweet but still smooth and easy to drink. All in all, sushi boat, three beers, one sake, and two entrees was under $100. An amazing deal for the exceptional quality and variety of choices and service. We had just visited an exclusively Japanese restaurant the day before and thought we wouldn't really be into the sushi as a Thai restaurant. Boy were we mistaken! This place took the prize and I would declare it the best sushi and Thai in town by a mile! Absolutely obsessed with returning asap.

Tuna was a little "fishy" tasting but all the rest was melt in your mouth. The interior is typical Thai restaurant decor. Table was clean and the staff was diligent in clearing tables to get everyone a table.

I would go to Thai dishes at any Thai restaurant or Massa man in Penang. We weren't extremely hungry so our table of six ordered one kids teriyaki, two Massaman with chicken and white rice, and one order of Krab Rangoon's. I didn't try the chicken teriyaki but my girls (5 and 6) shared one kids meal and they ate all of it. So I feel that's a great indication it was good. The Krab Rangoons were oddly very fishy and very stringy. I'm used to them being not fishy, and having more of a mushy texture. The peculiar fishy taste threw me off.
