The food is good. However, for the business to be better in term of making a friendly place the servers need to interact more with customers. One of the server she barely talks or shows appreciation every time we said Thank You. Not sure if it's the restaurant policy but she stated that the food cannot be modified when we asked to make the fried rice less sauce. read more

This automatically became my favorite Thai restaurant in Orlando! Great service and even better food! We ordered the oysters, which were delicious and came with a green sauce that had just the right amount of spice. We also had the Yum Ta Krai Salmon, which tasted incredibly fresh. The Goong Prik Kluea shrimp were large, flavorful, and perfectly cooked! Our favorite dishes of the night were definitely the chicken Tom Kha soup and the Pa Nang scallops. I love a good Tom Kha soup, and this was easily the best I've ever had! It was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced, served over a special dish with a flame underneath to keep it hot throughout the meal, such a nice touch! The other standout was the Pa Nang scallops. Whoever makes the sauce for this dish is a genius! I almost wanted to grab a straw and drink the sauce by itself. The scallops were cooked perfectly, and the flavors were incredible. Wow! They also have a great drink menu, but we took advantage of their happy hour specials and ordered a passion fruit mimosa and a coconut mojito. Both had authentic, fresh fruit flavors and paired perfectly with the meal. There is also a speakeasy bar called NOIR, where you can hang out before or after dinner. Great music, great drinks, and definitely worth checking out! read more

TALAY is okay at BEST. There are definitely other Thai cuisine-based restaurants that surpass TALAY. However, there's no need to dive into that. What is GOOD about this place is that the service is usually ALWAYS very quick. Very rarely have I waited long at this restaurant for anything, be it help from staff, food, or drinks. They should really pride themselves on that fact because sometimes it is hard to come by such efficient service - especially during busy dinner hours. The restaurant itself is so beautiful. Very IG worthy! It looks lovely in the daytime, and during the evening, the mood lighting indoors adds to the overall intimate feel of the space. There is also a good amount of seating outdoors, if you want to eat outdoors. Noir Bar is connected via a not-so-hidden corridor/passageway. Within that passageway are also the shared restrooms for both locations. As far as the food goes, it is OKAY. Again, it isn't the best, but it most certainly is not BAD. I usually order one of my usual dishes. In my last adventure to TALAY, because I have been a handful of times, I went with their vegetable Pad Thai (Price: $17.00). It was chock-full of veggies, a thin rice noodle, eggs, bean sprouts, scallions, and peanuts (which they placed off to the side). The sauce this time around was a bit sweeter than my liking, but overall, I enjoyed my plate. I didn't order any of their seasonal cocktails, but I do love that they offer various seasonal cocktails (and seasonal menus) throughout the year. It is a great way to keep you going back. Pricing can get a little high pending what you order. However, a good chunk of the menu is "reasonable." Parking in this area is always a hassle, but it exists all around, and if you are lucky, you can get FREE street parking. All in all, it is a good place to visit. I really haven't had any bad experiences here either. read more

This is a beautiful restaurant with a wonderful patio. There is a good selection of items and drinks. It is a little pricy and sharing is a good idea to keep the cost down. We had two drinks the guava and tamarind but did not enjoy the flavors. For appetizers we had the roti with curry sauce...yum and spring rolls which both were very good. The food is presented well and staff are very courteous. For dinner tried shrimp with noodles, veggies with jasmine rice, crab fried rice and marinated picanha. The food came out a little slow and all otlf it was not hot. Good flavors with the shrimp, veggies, rice and the picanha was very tender and delicious. No room for dessert and took food home for tomorrow's lunch. Overall a good experience. read more

Came here for my birthday dinner with a party of 8 and we undoubtedly loved each of our dishes. Ambiance wise - very modern, upscale yet laid back (didn't feel stuffy), and relaxing with the coastal vibe. Food wise - yall. Best Thai food I've ever had. They had both classic dishes like Pad Thai and fried rices as well as niche and elevated Thai dishes like glass noodles with shrimp. Service was good and they even let us bring my birthday cake for serving which was kind. Can't wait to come back! read more

Came here for a Book Club meeting and it was the perfect spot. The place is open with tall ceilings and floor to ceiling windows gave the place such an airy feel. I started off with a great little mocktail. It was super sweet but still delicious. Everyone else in my party seem to like their drinks.The spring rolls were fresh but beware if you don't like spice the sauce that came with it is something you may want to skip great flavor, but way too spicy. My friend got the appetizer roti and it was absolutely phenomenal. I could've eaten the sauce by the spoon full. My tofu pad Thai was really good as well. I'd have to say it was pretty comparable to other Thai restaurants but still was great and the serving was pretty large all in all. I definitely recommend there is a parking garage right behind the establishment and even two more down the road. read more

Talay has a super cute boho vibe inside and I love all the decor here. We visited on a weekend for lunch, it wasn't that busy. We ordered a few things and our food came out so quickly! I loved that bc we wanted something fast but wanted to try this place. We ordered a vermicelli roll with shrimp to start, these wee kinda small but unique with fried vermicelli noodles on top for $8. For our entree we shared the Pad Kee Mow with pork, $17. Loved the flat noodles and basil flavor with peppers. We also got a side of roti for $4. It was not that impressive, kinda seemed like sad frozen boxed roti. I'd skip ordering that. All and all, we enjoyed our visit but I think there are other Thai places we prefer in Orlando. read more

I like Thai food but I don't consider myself an aficionado. With that said, the food at Talay was excellent. I went with a party of. 5 and everyone loved their food. I had the Penang scallops. The. Broth was flavorful and the scallops were tender and buttery. We also had shrimp rolls and dumplings for an appetizer. The attention to detail was apparent in the preparation of the appetizers which were exceptional. Pair that with accommodating service and a great experience was had by all. Dining out is no longer an inexpensive date. If you want to have a great, worthwhile experience, give Talay a try! read more

This is a very cute modern Thai restaurant. The mango sticky rice cocktail was sweet and delicious, basically tasted like juice. Our food came out practically all at the same time so service is quick. Each dish was delicious. My favorites were the Chilean sea bass in lime broth and the crispy duck. I will definitely be coming back! The only downside to this place is that the restaurant does not have their own parking. There is some street-side parking but otherwise it's paid parking lots and garages. read more

Had a great time here last night! The inside looks good and there is some outdoor seating as well. Note: There is a speakeasy by the bathrooms the door looks like its apart of the wall, but you'll spot it if you look for it. I was not able to check it out, but will definitely be back to. I loved the roti starter so much that we decided to switch a previously chosen entree to the green curry with chicken (Keaw Wan Gai). The pad thai was also delicious with a great amount of peanuts to mix in... Clearly I am a big peanut fan because the star of the show for me was the dumplings!! (Chor Muang). I ordered to come out with the mains and immediately asked for another round. The sweet and salty pork was what drew me in and the peanut flavor is what made me stay. The food was all so amazing I already made plans this morning to go back again with a new group, so they can try it too. Drinks Ordered: Glass of Cabernet, Watermelon Sugar High, Dragon Fruit De La Rose, Pomelicious (Zero Proof) Food: Keaw Wan Roti (extra roti), Chor Muang x2, Keaw Wan Gai x2 (One with white chicken, One sub Grilled Shrimp, Pad Thai, and Sua Rong Hai. read more

Love the way the place is decorated. The service is decent and the food is good... BUT... there is a WHOLE LOT OF DISFUNCTION at TALAY. To start, we tried to add scallops to a seafood Pad Thai and our server had to "call a manager" like call a manager on the phone who said no changes. We didn't want to change it, just add. And, for the prices, you would think you could pay more and get what you want. Yes I sound like a brat, but the heart knows what it wants. Other than that, right next door is Noir the speakeasy that is connected. They will not allow the drinks from the speakeasy into the restaurant and they will not serve you in the speakeasy. Best case scenario is you can do takeout and then walk it over to Noir. Because Noir, the speakeasy is flexible. Suffice to say, there are plenty of Thai restaurants which are more flexible. And I will be coming back to Noir, the speakeasy which is quite awesome. But Talay, Ima pass... read more

As someone who is very picky and from LA, I have pretty high standards when it comes to food in general. Now, I love Thai food, but I wasn't sure about the food scene in Orlando. As soon as I walked in, I was met with the most gorgeous interior. I came at an awkward time so it was very empty, but I preferred it that way. It honestly felt like fine dining. I started with their roti which was absolutely divine. It was melt-in-your mouth DELICIOUS and the coconut curry sauce was out of the world. I got their fried snapper as the main. I usually don't get fish, but the server said it was good. The fish itself was fine?-- but the star of the show was the salad that came with it. It was bursting with so much flavor and added great texture to the meal. Their mocktail was no joke, either. I didn't know a cocktail could be THAT good??? I got their citrus honey mocktail and it almost made me aggressive because it was just so dang good. Orlando, your food is good. Hats off to you. Talay, you know how to make some good food. read more

Trendy ambiance with a bar and restaurant. I would recommend studying the menu prior to going as there are different options you may not be familiar with. We sat at the bar, but didn't know we needed to check in for the hostess stand. As most bars you just bypass and sit. The hostess may have been annoyed with did that, from her demeanor. She brought us menus and we ordered a guava beverage and a traditional beer. Both were refreshing and cold. Our meals were good, I could have had a little for spice however the pad tai and seafood was plentiful. The bartender was non stop busy, but efficient. I would go bar to try other items. Make a reservation, it was daily busy. read more

I can understand why this place has so many great reviews. I could smell the food from the moment I turned the corner inside the restaurant, and I knew I was in for a treat. From the moment you walk in, you're wowed by the interior design ,and you'll be equally wowed by the food. From the drinks to the dishes, everything was premium quality. And for the quality you get, the prices are more than fair. The service was on point, and overall it was such a perfectly curated experience. And lo and behold, I was surprised by a secret door near the bathroom that leads to a speakeasy; such a fun and unexpected touch! Check this place out and thank me later ! read more

Trendy interior design, fast and friendly service, and delicious food - highly recommend checking out Talay! We started with the roti - the curry was sweet and complex, great way to start the meal.

Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu! read more

TALAY - Spicy garlic shrimp with peppers - Thai Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Came here for lunch during a recent stay in Orlando. So hard to pick one thing for lunch when Thai food is one of my favs. Decided to go with the "Pad Kee Mow". I put that in quotes because this place spells it with a mow vs Mao which is technically the correct way. You know how all the asian restaurants have typos on their menus and this is no exception. It is essentially drunken noodles, a name given since this is supposed to be something great after a night of drinking. Just make sure your job isn't proofreading menus. I opted for the shrimp and it came out so quick! Portions are kinda small but I'd have to say their shrimp did not disappoint. They gave me 6 super big juicy suckers. I asked for medium but it was kinda mild but flavor was good. Also got some Thai tea and immediately called Kaiser schedule an appt to have my blood sugar checked. Nice restaurant and very attentive service staff. Love their quick service also. Unless you came by Uber you'd have to park in the paid garage around the corner. read more

I tried the pad see ew which was deliciously savory with chewy wide noodles. I also had some of the pineapple fried rice which usually isn't my favorite, but it had a rich curry flavor with nuts and dried fruit as well which made it wonderful. It is quite pricey but worth it for a sophisticated date night or girls night :) read more

Talay was all around a great experience. I had some friends in town visiting for the weekend so we decided to get some Thai food. The ambiance of the restaurant was very cozy and aesthetically pleasing. It had an ocean vibe and their menu was very extensive. Their drink menu included photos and it definitely helps in the process of choosing what to drink. I ordered the shrimp pad Thai with mild spice. It wasn't spicy at all, so I think next time I'll ask for medium to hot spice. My friends ordered the spring rolls as well as the oysters and the crab and pork Hoy Jor. The service was phenomenal and the food came out very quick. Our server was nice enough to split our check three ways, and consistently checked in on us to ensure the food was tasty and asked if we needed anything else. I will definitely be dining in here again soon to bring more friends here! read more

The inside decorations are cute and simple. It felt really spacious when you walk in and there's a nice waiting couch near the front door, along with a patio-like area. A downside is that the restaurant is in downtown so it can be hard to find parking. I got lucky with a street parking right outside during lunch time. About the food, I really enjoyed it! We ordered drinks first and they came out fairly quickly. I really enjoyed the roti. The curry sauce with it was slightly spicy and paired well with the roti. I also enjoyed the honey's passion! The flavors were nice and refreshing. The Goong Muk Karee was also super good! The shrimp size was great and it had a nice mouthful to it. There were a lot of other things on the menu that I would like to come back and try! read more

Elevated Thai Food, yes please! This restaurant takes it to the next level on Thai cuisine. The flavors are typical to the region but the execution was mind blowing. Every bite was a flavor bomb. My mom is from Northern Thailand and she would explain the food here as Central to Southern style. Non-the-less, Thai food at its finest. Its good to finally have a Thai restaurant in Orlando to be proud of. The restaurant is modern and clean. The menu is simple to navigate and to read, especially if you have not experienced Thai food. Would I come back, 1,000%. I would also bring more of my friends. The prices are priced with elevated food in mind and when you order, the food comes out as soon as its prepared. That could be staggered in timing so, be aware of this if you want certain dishes at a specific timing to others. read more

First things first: I love Thai food. It's in my top 3 most ordered cuisines on Uber Eats so I order it fairly often and am accustomed to eating it out of takeout containers in front of my TV lol. So to say that I was excited about an elevated dining experience with Thai food is an understatement! When you first walk into the restaurant, the beautiful design immediately grabs your attention, followed by the warm staff greeting. We decided to come with our good friends here for dinner and really enjoyed the overall experience! We all shared our dishes but my wife and I got roti, crispy spring rolls, shrimp + glass noodles, and the Pa Nang Curry scallops. All were delicious and I'd recommend them all but I do have to comment on the pricing. You are definitely paying a little more money for the ambiance and presentation. Like I said previously, I order Thai takeout A LOT and the food at Talay is honestly comparable to a lot of other Thai places in town but a little more money, and in some instances, like with the starters, the food portions are smaller than other Thai spots. This shrinkflation is happening all over the country right now and you'll probably notice that Talay is not exempt from this trend. I think if you know this going in, it'll help to temper your expectations. I think the best scenarios to go to Talay are for date night or a happy hour hangout with close friends. It's definitely worth a visit for a night out and I definitely enjoyed myself there. The food was delicious, the customer service was stellar and again, the ambiance is lovely. A solid 4.5/5 stars for me! read more

On Sunday, one of my friends had taste for Thai food so we did some research I ended up coming here for lunch. We were very impressed with the decoration and how pretty the place was. We were super excited to try something new. One of my friends came in first and order some appetizer. And the rest of us came a little bit after and the waiter took a good 20 minutes or so to come back. Even though the menu did call out some allergies it was hard for me to select and wanted someone that could explain them. My friends loved their food, which I was so happy. For me, I felt disappointed on the options for allergy sufferers. My bad on my part for not doing some research before hand but it was kind of a last-minute. Let me clarify that the restaurant does have different options and the menu itself looks great. However, for me, my only options were the curries or the creamy soups, none that I prefer. I personally do not like my food being on the sweet side. I was excited when I saw the Tom Yum soup but then this one was creamy not the clear one. Which added to my disappointment because most of the Thai restaurants have the clear one. No options were provided to me to customize some of the plates. Perhaps it was impossible, but it would had been nice to at least feel that was a possibility. Then, this narrowed it down to the only plate that I would want to eat which was the Pla Nueng Ma Now (chilean seabass). The fish itself was OK. The broth was really good and while I ordered mild it was still spicy. So it was great to see that they truly do thai hot. The plate came with rice, which I didn't want to eat, and instead I asked for veggies. The server told me they could not substitute the rice, but it would be an additional side. Honestly, adding the veggies was not a big deal, but it would had been nice to feel some type of accommodation. At the end of the day that jasmine rice went to waste. I would've had expected that they will substitute the side and just up charge me for the veggies. Overall, it was an OK experience for me. I would not come back unless they changed or add to their menu more allergy friendly items. While it was not the best experience, my friends did love their food and they will come back. read more

This was my 2nd time going to Talay, and both times it was great! It's a beautiful restaurant with great ambiance, perfect for date night or out with the girls. The food both times were great, especially since Thai food is among our favorites. We've had the Yum Ta Krai Salmon, curry duck, pa nang scallops, and several of the cocktails. I'll note that I'm gluten free and the menu makes it easy for me to find gf options to eat. That said, there aren't a lot of gf options, which is fine, I knew that before going. What I was disappointed in the 2nd visit is the Pa nang scallops. I was expecting sea scallops and it was actually bay scallops. Mybe I should've done my due diligence and looked at photos before but for the price I didn't think twice. When the dish came out it was sad looking, and wasn't a pretty presentation compared to the rest of the dishes everyone else ordered. I didn't complain for two reasons: I didn't ask our server about the scallop size, and the bay scallops were actually cooked well, not rubbery. I wouldn't recommend getting the scallops based on my experience. Overall, Talay is a great addition and I look forward to future visits. read more

Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Food 5/5 TALAY is one of the newer restaurants and it did not disappoint. It would be great for a girls night as well as date night. The food was all fresh and tasted great. The steak could use more flavor bc the sauce is for palates that can handle stronger flavors. The roti and spring roll appetizers were excellent. Oysters were great if you need a fix. The food came out as quickly as we ordered them. Drinks took a little longer but overall the service was excellent.

For our appetizer, we got the keaw wan roti. It was hot and buttery and the green curry sauce it came with was super flavorful with a gentle heat. For my entree, I got the pad Thai with chicken. It was a good portion size and there was plenty of protein. It was a little bland, but good. I wish there was more sauce and vegetables. It was still good, but I'll definitely be back to try their seafood. read more

I've been seeing this place all over TikTok and I had to try it! I love Thai food so I was really excited to go here. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful. The server was really nice and helpful explaining the menu. To start we got the raw salmon and spring rolls. We also got Roti and this was amazing. The spring rolls were good, but it almost felt like something was missing. I really enjoyed the salmon, but I will say that the raw garlic was overpowering at times. Me and my friend really enjoyed the drinks here. I liked my pad Thai, but I do prefer it a little bit more sweet. The plating of the food here was really nice. I would come back here to try some of their other menu items, they have a few interesting dishes I haven't tried before. read more

Talay is such a vibe! Loved the ambient lighting, the gold silverware, and the overall aesthetic of this place. The staff is super kind and attentive. Came with a large party for a birthday so we made sure to get a reservation. Our reservtion was for around 5 on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy when we got there but this place filled up quickly. I enjoyed the roti as an appetizer, the green curry had a nice little kick to it. For my cocktail, I sipped on the delicious Gimme Guava, super refreshing and I was really intrigued with the salty/sweet rim it had! For my entree, I went with the pad kee mow, I wanted a little spice to warm me up with the cold weather. Overall, my dish was a decent size and super filling.

The service was very welcoming and pleasant. The ambiance is top notch with a nice open patio (on the sidewalk) area. We walked in close to midday closing and they were very accommodating despite the kitchen closing in 20 minutes. The food was absolutely delicious. I'm a rice person and the large lunch portion of Pineapple fried rice with chicken was well seasoned and had all the ingredients I want (egg, carrots, peas, scallion etc) that I want in rice. They were very accepting of changing a rice dish to make it palatable (less spicy) for children. As a Thai Iced Tea junkie, I loved their version and only wish it was in a taller glass with less ice ‍. The lunch special is a great deal that comes with silky smooth tasting coconut soup (with real broccoli florets and large carrots) and a crispy spring roll. All in all well worth it. My companions loved their meal choices and we all had food left over for dinner at home. A fantubulous eating day! read more

After 1 year of their opening , we finally made it to this spot and it was definitely worth the time. For a Saturday it was pretty decent and the crowd was to a minimum, but I also do feel it is because of the timing. We had dinner reservations at 5pm and it was amazing. Our servers and waitresses were great and gave some good recommendations. I personally ordered the pineapple fried rice, medium spice and it was perfect for tasting and flavor in between. Paired that with a banana bourbon and that was delicious! Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for Thai food. They also have a speakeasy connected on the side which is pretty popular as well. I believe it's called the Noir Bar. read more

I booked a reservation at TALAY after reading the reviews from both Yelp and Open Table. Expectations met and surpassed!! The menu is extensive and has something for everyone. The big standout for me was the mignonette that came with the oysters and the green curry that came with the roti (yes, I just had the curry on its own). Definitely recommend!! The restaurant is located in a quiet neighbourhood. We sat on the patio and saw a lot of people walking their dogs, going for a run or riding their bikes. Staff was attentive and gave us the right amount of attention. As we enjoyed our meal, it got busier through our time there which was nice to see, especially on a weekday. read more
