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

I ordered the Panang curry and all I could taste was coconut milk and it was super thin. I also got the pot stickers and the parang dip with it was very vingery like they didn't even taste the same.

I checked out this place one Sunday afternoon and although my sister and I were the only table, the…read moreservice was a bit lacking. We were served Pepsi after specifically asking if they had coke, and after receiving our food we did not see our server again until about 20 minutes later when I went looking to request the check. I ordered the Panang Curry spicy with pork. The curry was huge, but the vegetables were inconsistently cooked and there was little spice in the dish. I unfortunately never got the chance to request more since our server never came to check on us. Throughout the meal we kept catching a whiff of an unpleasant smell, and I believe it was caused by the table being cleaned with a sanitizing towel that needs replacing.

Honestly I wasn't impressed…read more I don't think the owner was ready for lunch time. I waited 1 hour for my lunch. I believe it was around $15.00.

I actually used DD so I don't know how the ambiance is, but from what I remember it's fast casual like the other Chinese restaurant on the Island.

Another first time visit for both of us. Noom Thai Bistro is a small place with booths and tables…read moreto choose from , and the customer service was excellent. We tried the crab rangoons 3/5, edamame 2/5, and chicken Pad Thai 3/5. The rangoons had a runny filling with not enough crab or cream cheese. The edamame was okay but a small portion for the price. The Pad Thai had good flavor, but the noodles were slightly overcooked and there was a strong fish-oil taste that didn't sit well with us. The chicken was cooked well, and the chef accommodated us by putting the peanuts on the side. The restaurant also had some cleanliness and maintenance issues, including holes in the booth cushions and dishes left on tables. Overall, 3/5. Based on our experience, the 4.7 Yelp rating felt a little generous.

Amazing meal! Probably the best Thai meal I've head in a long time. I tried the spicy chef's…read morespecial noodle dish with chicken, at a level of 3/5 spice, and I definitely should've done 4/5. It was very tasty though, and there was a hefty amount of food that came with the dish. I couldn't finish it and ate it another day. Service was great. Ambiance was not too bad, seemed homely. I can't wait to come back and try so many more things on the menu!

We were in Mayport recently so we finally tried Simply Tasty Thai, which is a place we've heard a…read morelot of good things about. They're located at 2292 Mayport Road. We ordered a couple of appetizers to start. I had the Satay and she had the steamed Gyoza. My Satay was very good and I liked that there were big pieces of peanut in the dipping sauce. She liked her Gyoza a lot and really liked that it wasn't slippery like it can be when it's steamed. I had Beef Pad Thai for my entree and I went with spice level 1. I liked that their version isn't overly sweet like it can be elsewhere. I don't really mind when it's sweet but I also like knowing that there's somewhere I can go when I don't want that. I was also pleasantly surprised by the fact that spice level 1 was very easy for me to get through. My wife ordered the Pineapple Fried Rice. 90% of why she ordered it was because it's served in a pineapple! She went with spice level 1 as well and said she could easily go to 2 or maybe even 3 in the future. The rice itself was good and she loved the chunks of pineapple all through it. We both had plenty to take with us which will make for a great lunch tomorrow. I'm glad we finally tried this place we've heard so many good things about. We will be back!
