Lanna Thai - Amelia Island, FL Review

While on vacation on Amelia Island, FL my partner and I quickly tired of the food at our resort. He is a vegetarian and the selections at the plantation left a lot to be desired. On our way in from the airport we noticed Lanna Thai in a strip mall on 95, and decided to give it a try.

When we pulled up we were a bit worried that we were the only patrons, and that the staff was sitting outside smoking. We shouldn't have worried.

The restaurant was a bit "over decorated" but not in an offensive manner (think gold lamae table clothes). The bathroom was large, very clean, and had a lovely plant in the corner.

I love Thai food, we try it pretty much where ever we can find it. Lanna Thai was a great find, a real gem. Pad Thai is generally how I rate a Thai restaurant. Theirs was spicy, full of flavor and had lovely fresh veggies in with the spicy peanut sauce. My partner had a spicy tofu dish, one he enjoys at our home Thai restaurant, and other than an over abundance of Thai basil (for his tastes on a personal level), it was also delicious.

The staff was friendly, helpful and brought drinks and extra rice with perfect timing. We were happy to see that by the time we were done with our meal that there were other patrons enjoying this restaurant.

If you are in the area stop by. It is well worth your time.
