Absolutely delicious! Visiting Daytona, looking for Thai food for lunch and I'm happy we tried Thai Erawan! They exceeded expectations!
Ambiance- 5 stars - Well appointed, tasteful decor and soft ambient instrumental music.
Service- 5 stars. The staff are all very helpful and friendly. They gave helpful advice for entrees. I was considering ordering the Pad Thai but the waitress mentioned their Pad Thai is on the sweet side so I decided not to order it as I know my personal preference for Pad Thai is savory. Food was served quickly! (It probably helped that it wasn't too busy for lunch.) They consistently refilled our drinks throughout lunch.
Food- *****5 stars*****
Lunch specials include an appetizer of soup and a vegetable spring roll. We enjoyed the crunchy spring roll and the savory broth of the vegetable soup. The crab rangoons had a subtle hint of curry which differentiates it from a standard crab rangoon. The crunchy mee krob had a lightly sweet flavor, not cloyingly sweet. I ordered the roasted duck red curry which featured well balanced flavors, complex spices from the curry, sweetness from the coconut milk and savory umami from what seems like a touch of fish sauce. If you prefer a crunchier roasted duck, you may want to order it with the duck on the side but I thought it was fine because the duck absorbed the flavors of the red curry. Our other entree was the sautéed ginger pork with vegetables which featured a savory light brown sauce. Also tasty! Our raspberry iced tea and iced Thai tea were refreshing in this warm Florida summer weather.
Overall, we look forward to returning to Thai Erawan to try other dishes. Well done Thai Erawan! read more
