While exploring the Southside of Jacksonville today upon a colleague's glowing recommendation, I…read morehappened upon Bounxou Thai a name that immediately captured my curiosity. It proved to be a magnificent discovery in every single respect! Arrival was completely effortless, with a grand, spacious private parking lot situated directly out front. Stepping inside, the establishment is impeccably clean, tastefully arranged, and exudes a warm, sophisticated ambiance that honours authentic Thai traditions while remaining thoroughly inviting. The service was top-tier from start to finish exceptionally attentive, gracious, and wonderfully family-friendly. As is my customary habit when visiting fine Thai venues, I ordered a Thai Iced Tea to begin. It arrived crisp, perfectly chilled, and mixed to absolute perfection, making for a delightful afternoon refreshment. For my main course, I selected my absolute favorite, the classic Pad Thai. I was deeply impressed by the kitchen's thoughtful approach to hospitality; when my server inquired if I preferred red radish and parsley added custom touches I personally prefer to forgo they accommodates my request with total ease. My meal arrived with impressive speed and was an absolute culinary masterpiece vibrant, exquisitely seasoned, and piping hot. Between the immaculate cleanliness, tailored service, and divine cuisine, Bounxou Thai earns absolute full marks from me. A sensational spot I shall most certainly be returning

My BF and I went for dinner on a Friday evening around 6:30. This place is in a fairly busy plaza,…read moreand had a fair amount of customers in/out while we were there. The place itself was nicely decorated, but had only one server from what I can tell. She was busy running to and fro, but taking care of everyone. We ordered spring rolls, Panang curry, and pad Thai, which all came out on queue and piping hot. As far as the taste goes, they felt a little flat on the pad Thai, with a sprinkling of burnt pieces throughout his dish. The curry was made with coconut milk and very tasty but a little more watery than I was hoping for. Overall, it was good and we both agreed that we would go back and give it another try. It's in a great location for us and satisfied a Thai food craving.

Omg, BEST soft shell crabs I think I've ever had (including making my own) - proprietor suggested I try the "gentler" sauce, but no. Masaman curry was tasty. Strangely, undercooked potatoes? Everything (except those potatoes) awesome. Maybe a little salty? But that's a quibble. Also, asked for an order of the mango and sticky rice dessert- he said he wouldn't have good mangoes in until the next week. Sign of a great proprietor when then don't sell you a product, and don't sell you something as a substitute.

We started with the Gyoza, which is always a reliable favorite here. I ordered a mix of sushi including Tamago, a Philly Roll (properly made with smoked salmon!), and the Holiday Roll. The Holiday Roll was an incredible surprise--I absolutely loved it. Bonus: the portions were large enough that I had plenty of leftovers for lunch today. Lauren got the Drunken Noodles, but fair warning on the spice levels: she usually handles heat well and ordered a Spice Level 2, but it was incredibly fiery! She probably should have stuck to a Level 1, though she still managed to eat a good bit of it. The decor inside this location is fantastic, and watching the robot waiter cruise around the dining room adds such a fun touch to the atmosphere. Highly recommend!

The staff were very accommodating too. We always go here whenever we're in the area because of their food, ambiance and good service.

We didn't like it quite as much as last time. It was more liquidy, perhaps needing a bit longer in the pan to evaporate out some liquid and make the sauce more intense? This time it was veggie, last time chicken, which may have made a difference too. Our waiter told us we could add chicken to the veggie for $5 if we want. Our waiter was nice, and the setting might be a bit nicer than the other location (we were inside, but there's outside too). I'd like to try their mango sticky rice and roti canai sometime, and the satay again.

From the pictures posted, it looked delicious, but when I received my order, the broth tasted extremely salty and almost like it was mostly oil. The chicken was also ground rather than sliced like it was shown in the picture, and there was barely any chicken in the soup. The rest of the bowl was mostly rice. I was really looking forward to my meal because everything I've had from here has always been delicious, but something was definitely off today. Even the appetizer we usually get didn't taste the same.

There are stairs, but if you walk straight through to the host/hostess stand at Dorothy's, there is a small elevator available. The décor was nice and there was a decent amount of seating available, enough to accommodate our group of 10 and another large group at the table next to ours. It looked like people came here with their families for special occasions. There was only one person working to cover everything from seating, take out, serving, etc., and he did an amazing job of staying on top of everything. He even took the time to explain to me that they recently decided to make their entire menu (save for the fried items) gluten free due to many requests they'd received from their customers. It was so nice to eat at a place that was so considerate! Their menu is definitely more fusion than authentic. I asked the server for a recommendation and he told me his favorite is the Curry Fried Rice, but it was a big portion, so I opted for his second favorite, the Drunken Noodles. I asked about the spice levels and asked for mine to be more spicy. It wasn't as spicy as I hoped, so I asked for a spice tray and added several spoonfuls of various chili flakes and peppers. My colleagues got the yellow curry and said it was basically flavorless, but they liked their Drunken Noodles. I'm thankful to have the gluten free option, but I was missing the essence of the classic/authentic flavor. Overall, the décor, ambience, and service was great, but the food was just okay.

The crispy pork belly is also amazing - crunchy yet moist and not tacky. The fried rice and stir fried plates are also solid choices. My wife loves the panang! My only complaint is that they don't have khao soi on their menu! I know that's a northern Thai dish, but that would be amazing. I also found the pad siew to be overcooked, but considering how great the other dishes I have had here were I may have experienced a fluke with that one. Service is excellent: friendly, attentive, and professional. Ambiance is intimate and cozy - this is a small restaurant great for groups up to four people. Definitely must visit if you are in the area.
