Strip-mall eatery offering Thai favorites & lots of vegetarian options amid no-frills environs.
This restaurant is small but the menu has lot of vegetarian options. The taste of the main course dishes that we ordered was more than we expected. And food is not expensive. The service was fast and the portion size is also good. We will definitely will coming again very soon. We enjoyed the Red Curry that we ordered.
My first time coming to this quaint Thai spot. Ordered from their lunch menu which consisted of one page of options that were reasonably priced, for the quantity of food you are served. Tried their plain rice with onions and “hot” chix .. (8.95$) It was fresh and steamy.. but a bit bland on flavor.. the chicken was not spicy as the gentleman stated it would be and the rice could’ve been seasoned with a heavier hand but overall tasty.
The crab rangoon though deserves a trophy 🏆 - one of the best I have ever had- 8 pieces came with, for just $6.95.. creamy and perfectly crisp. Highly recommend.
Ambiance was you know.. Thai themed, a bit dark, but it was a little restaurant with about eight tables. Young server was very nice and had great customer service and immediately gave you a cold bottled water while you decided on your meal. Would recommend.
Average Thai - Okay flavor but weirdly watery/bland. The sauce for everything seemed to have additional water added or something. Even the sweet and sour sauce was like kool-aid consistency. I was not expecting this given the great reviews. Excellent service, so I’m adding a star for that - a lot of people seem to like this place so give it a try and decide for yourself.
Cute cozy Thai restaurant offering a variety of unique Thai dishes. We ordered the pork dumplings, pad Thai, special param tofu, and Thai iced tea. The dumplings were well plated but packed much flavor. The param special tofu was lovely and a generous portion. The special param come with three crispy slices of fried eggplant that were just heaven. The Thai iced tea was authentic and you could tell didn't come from a mix.

Incredibly tasty food and wonderful service. The prices are extremely reasonable!!
Very good food with nice portions with a very reasonable prices.
Wonderful Thai restaurant with relaxing ambiance and amazing food. Everything was fresh and perfect.
I’ve gone here a few times with family and coworkers. I’ve always had nothing but the best service! Tonight I placed a pickup order and the guy who was up front went above and beyond to help me. Highly recommend eating here!
I don’t know Thai food very well, so I always order pad Thai. Tonight I decided to be adventurous and ordered Param. It was unbelievable! I thought that somebody started a party in my mouth. It was so good! Can’t recommend it enough! Peanut sauce was amazing.
Unfortunately the high reviews don’t match up to the quality or freshness I was expecting. Would not recommend. Gave this place a try since Thailicious was closed.
Spring rolls - these were ok
Dumplings - very dry even with the sauce
Massaman Curry - no flavor
Pad see ew - this was inedible. Noodles were bone dry and did not taste fresh.
Every time I try to go to the restaurant it's closed. I went in today and they said they were getting ready to close again. Terrible attitude. Terrible times that they are available for food service. I will never go there
I've been slowly trying most items on the menu. Everything has been really good! I love all the veggies. And the people are always nice, thank you!
I haven’t made my way through the whole menu just yet but GT is definitely one of my go to spots when I need a good pick me up meal. In my opinion, they have the best pad thai in the city. Could easily eat here every day of the week.

Good food, reasonably priced and very nice employees! 👍
Second attempt to give GoldenThai a chance as it’s the closest Thai to our house. Sorely disappointed. First visit the Curry was watery, chicken tasted ragged/ dry. Today, the noodles in both the pad Thai and pad se uw were strangely wet, not much flavor to them and the beef literally tasted like old shoe leather. Had to spit it out, haven’t never thrown meat away before. Left with noodles that aren’t good, and wishing I’d driven a bit further for our favorite Siam O Cha Thai food around the corner which is far superior in every aspect.
Will not return to Golden Thai.
Plenty of quantity - no quality. Sauces thin with no flavor. Very disappointing.
Best place, and Best taste for Thai food in Longwood.
Golden Thai has been here for as long as I can remember, but strangely I’ve never been. Its an cozy location and seems to do mostly take-out. Their prices are slightly lower than other Thai restaurants in the area — about $2 less for lunch than most places I have visited. As usual, for my first try, I had the lunch Panang Chicken and Thai Tea. The tea was very good. The veggies in the curry were very fresh, as you would expect of any Thai restaurant. The Panang itself was watery, lacking body and flavor. Some tastes were very salty and others not so much. The rice was a clump. It even had harder clumps inside the main clump. It was also almost flavorless.
Just a quick aside here — a year ago I would have said that rice was just rice, some smoother than others. But after having the rice at Dee Thai in Lake Mary I find that I am SOOO wrong. I can’t put my finger on it, but it is so much better than any rice I’ve ever had anywhere else.
Back to Golden Thai — at the end of lunch I would have to say that this seems to be “The McDonald's” of Thai restaurants. The price is slightly lower, the quality is mediocre, and some people would say, “You get what you pay for”. But for me, just a few miles up Rangeline Rd and then up Lake Emma Rd and you would be at Dee Thai. For $2 more its like going from McDonald’s burgers to Ruths Chris’ burgers (in flavor).
Amazing food. Had their chicken pad Thai and the crab rangoons. Both dishes were super tasty. Great customer service as well.
Always great food
I love this place. It's my new favorite Thai restaurant.

Best Thai in Orlando
Love their Chili Jam
Found a roach in a take out order of vegetable massaman curry. Quite unfortunate as I've been here twice before to good experiences at a good price, but my most recent experience this week involved a whole roach in the take out curry that was almost half eaten. Wretching and heaves followed, after which I returned to the restaurant and showed them the photo of the bug. I was refunded and they said they will notify the kitchen. Quite awful as I can't remember finding such a thing before, in a vegetable dish too. Won't be coming back, a shame for sure.
Adorable little restaurant, such a cute aesthetic, the employees are extremely homely and wonderful, the complimentary water bottles were wonderful too. The food was just stellar, and the crab rangoons were fried so perfectly. The thai tea was also just amazing, love went into this experience, definitely will become a regular.
Great Thai restaurant. Quantity of food is great for the price and pick up times are very reasonable for take out. Will always be my go to!
Hard to get good Thai food in some places - one would think Longwood would be one of those but even our foodie -riend enjoyed eating with us here. The place is not much to look at but the service was pleasant and the food was good. The soup was very good so don't skip it even though its hot outside. Looking forward to trying more dishes!
I love golden Thai. I wish it was closer to my house because I’d be there a lot. It’s a great little Thai place and the food is very good. The prices are reasonable and service is great too.
Best Thai in greater Orlando area!
Great food with excellent service. We stopped through on our way to Orlando, and would do so again.
Me and my Wife have eaten here for over 10 years. Excellent, tasty and fresh authentic Thai food! Crazy Meat (red curry), Garlic Shrimp (spicy) and Pad Pik Basil are my go to dishes. Great prices, large portions and excellent service as well. Don't forget to try the Tom Yum Gai soup with your meal. Lemony, spicy and tasty!
This restaurant listened to the negatives and did a 360 flip around! Glad to have your super cuisine back again! Delicious food for a GREAT price! Dont miss out on this one!!
This evening was my first time trying this Thai restaurant and it was Delish!! The portions are huge and definitely worth the price. I will definitely be back and can’t wait to bring family and friends.
Everything is delicious and the service is good,l can't wait to go back.
Hidden gem for sure. The quality, portions and price are all there. 👌
We just discovered this place when the restaurant we used to visit closed down. It is a fantastic place to eat! A very extensive menu and a lot of food for the price!
Best pad Thai I've found in Orlando area so far.
Really good food at a really good price point. Good service.
Good value for lunch
Nice little Thai restaurant in Longwood. They make their food fresh and it's very tasty, and real Thai spicy, if you want. Great staff and very friendly.
Love this family own restaurant. Food is always delicious, beautiful presentation and fresh ingredients. The staff is friendly and attentive. Small and cozy restaurant.
Menu has plenty of options and vegetarian dishes. Amazing flavors, we like it Thai hot, please 😁🔥
The food is delicious! Good service!
Went there for lunch. The hostess was great. She was the only server but took good care of each guest. Food was awesome. The quantity was a lot for the price. Enjoyed the food and ambiance. Worth every dime.
Small hole in the wall place almost couldn't find it but the food was unbelievably good, so good in fact I ordered from them again the next day. Plus the staff were so kind and friendly. 1000% recommended.
Cute cozy Thai restaurant offering a variety of unique Thai dishes. We ordered the pork dumplings, pad Thai, special param tofu, and Thai iced tea. The dumplings were well plated but packed much flavor. The param special tofu was lovely and a generous portion. The special param come with three crispy slices of fried eggplant that were just heaven. The Thai iced tea was authentic and you could tell didn't come from a mix.
Had a great experience again Saturday. I’ll be back. Great food and great service.
Delicious AND terrific service.
Delicious food, nice atmosphere and fast service. They serve large portions and at good prices.
Staff was very nice, portions were huge, and food was delicious
Golden thai Restaurant
The food was amazing hot fast delicious. Love to the entrees at first I was started ordering and was told that's no longer on the menu so I pick something else and was told that's no longer the menu and then was told that I have a menu from 10 years ago and he brought me the new menu and the prices went up we both laughed but not by much and then I went to order something else and was told they were out of it but what I did order was delicious Tom ka gai spring rolls Thai salad and definitely recommend the red curry Thai hot. The prices were on point the staff was super friendly would definitely recommend going back.
Overall, good experience and food. Not my favorite location but the service definitely overshadows any concerns. Large portions are served for most meals on the menu. Lots of menu variety to choose from. If you are looking for authentic Thai cuisine you should definitely consider Golden Thai.
The food is great. My brother took me here for the first time awhile ago and couldn't wait to go back. Seems like a family business and owners needed time for their health and were very missed overhearing other customers ask about them. Hope they take care and well soon. Forgot to take pictures, but looks just as tasty as it is. Love the choice of vegetables that set the dishes apart from other Thai restaurants.
We travel 30 min to dine at The Golden Thai.
It's quaint, quite & clean. The Food is always served Fresh. The Prices are very fair and the service is great. It's our families very favorite
Thai Restaurant. Keep up the great work.
Very Enjoyable.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Always great food but the hours are awful. Also, last time we were there I ordered a glass of wine and the lady serving us brought me the entire bottle (unopened) and a wine opener and left it with us so I could pour my own glass. She later returned to get the remainder of the bottle and the opener. Not super safe.
I have been wanting to try this place for a while I’m glad we did. The seating is self serve but that’s okay the server was very welcoming and took our order quickly. the stir fry basil is as expected very good kris had the stir fry broccoli with beef thai hot and it was hot. the place was full by 1200 that says alot
This is a great place to go for lunch or dinner. The food is very good and the value for what you get is also good. Top 3 dishes I have enjoyed are Garlic Meat, Panang, and Pad Thai. I recommend adding the lunch combo, which adds 2 spring rolls and a cup of soup.
Really great food. Good portion size. Great prices.
I love this place! 😊 The food is delicious, fresh and the customer service is great. Highly recommend.
Hate it
The vegetable spring rolls, and tofu pad Thai are amazing! Very affordable too.
Great Thai food and wonderful, friendly staff!
Enjoyed everything we had! Love this place
Our favorite Thai restaurant
Great flavor.
Have been going for years, and I still crave it regularly! Just really damn good.
The tofu here is amazing, highly recommend trying it out!
We happened upon this restaurant by chance. We thought let’s try it but were very pleasantly surprised with the taste of the food. Tom yum kha soup in vegetarian was so yum. Everything ordered was tasty at a reasonable price. This place will be our favorite for Thai food now.
Food usually very good. Servings are generous and prices are reasonable. Staff is friendly and helpful.
First time having food from Golden Thai and it was some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had! I got the green curry and it was amazing 😋 The staff was so friendly and welcoming! I’ll be returning for sure!
Awesome food! We ordered chicken egg rolls, Masaman curry, and pad thai. Great egg rolls, fabulous curry- thick enough, with plenty of curry paste, meat, and vegetables. Pad thai was really great too.
The food is good with generous portions and fair prices too. The restaurant itself is very nicely decorated with Thai decor. The only thing is that the service is slow but that's because it's popular and for good reason. Overall a good experience and worth the wait.
The service is exceptional. The food quality is top notch. The portions are generous. Great value for your dollar.
Great neighborhood spot. The food is delicious. I have never had a bad meal here and I visit all the time. They also have great lunch specials.
Excellent food and great service..prices and portions were also good!
Amazing food, great service amazing food, great service! A new favorite!
**Update 3 yrs later**
While the food at this restaurant is still very good, I have been disappointed recently with the service. More than a few times, the young kid, I think he's a college student, has messed up my order, but today was a straw that broke the camel's back. I called and placed an order, He tells me 15 to 20 minutes, I give them 30 but when I get there he tells me that they have no more rice. Yes it is true I called the order in at 7:45 p.m., but a Thai restaurant running out of rice is like KFC running out of chicken. At that point, I'm a annoyed because how do you have curry without rice, but I'm already there, right?! So I reluctantly agree to some noodles. So I'm sitting there waiting for an order that was literally supposed to be grab and go, and 15 minutes go by and I ask him what the status was because I placed the order 45 minutes prior and he tells me he didn't put it in when I called it in because he didn't know what I wanted with my curry So instead they didn't put any food order in for me. No attempts to call me back and ask me if I would like a substitute. The restaurant was not busy, there was literally one couple sitting down eating, one other to go order that arrived while I was sitting there waiting for my food so I cannot even make an excuses for him. So I get home, I'm already annoyed but I'm even more annoyed when I go to try to eat the noodles. They were bland and rubbery and completely stuck together in a big mush. I literally had to throw them right in the garbage and make myself some rice so that I can have some with my dinner. Tonight was a flop, there have been other times where he's messed up minor things, like the protein that I wanted my soup or the type of soup and one time he forgot my spring rolls, but today, today was not good. I've decided I'm not going to stop supporting this business because I have met the cooks and owner and they're really sweet. I also know it's really tough during the pandemic, but I've decided that if I ever hear the kids voice on the other side of the phone, I'm hanging up, calling the next local spot. I really miss when the girls that used to work the front! I took the liberty of photographing the unappetizing noodles.
Hi, I am Michael and I am Full Time RV Traveler, I eat out a lot and Thai Food is always on top of my list. Running a Restaurant is hard work and for me food coming out to my table is like someone made this Food Art for me. I appreciate it. Golden Thai Food was a great tasty food with great service. I am coming back. ;)
Excellent
Favorite Thai restaurant I go to. Updating review after 3 years to confirm that this is my favorite Thai restaurant in the Orlando area. Great food quality and great price.
Best Thai food lovely people awesome
Love this restaurant more people should come
Fantastic, fresh & tasty. Large quantities. Excellent value. This was our first time and we will definitely be back.
What a pleasant surprise! The store front might not make you think it's great, but it is. Staff is friendly and place was clean and COVID safe. I will be eating here a lot. A new GO TO place.
Food was good
Absolutely love the consistency of this great restaurant. Food is always hot and delicious, my favorite place for Thai food by far!
Good food. Freindly staff and good food.
Great Thai food and cordial service . Abundant servings . Variety menu . Pleasant atmosphere and interesting decor, not real loud . Not rushed and able to relax to eat .
Drunken noodles - 5/5
Pad ki meow - 5/5
Dumplings - 3/5
Ambience - 4/5
This is my favorite Thai Restaurant! The food is amazing, the service is great, the restaurant is clean and beautiful, and it is family owned and operated! My family and relatives have been coming here for many years. They have never let us down!
Have tried only a few items from the menu. Yellow curry fried rice and pad thai are my go-to's. Portions are huge. Friendly staff, very good service
Good food and prices
Golden Thai restaurant is the best kept secret in Longwood, You can be assured when you sit down to order your favorite dish, you can be certain it is going to be made 100% prepared from scratch and made to order. There's no dish too hot as it can be prepared to your liking from mild to traditional Thai hot upon request. The atmosphere warm and inviting and the staff are helpful and efficient.
Over the past 20 years that I have been introducing friends, business associates, and family to experience this Mom and Pop Thai restaurant, the feedback was always very *[flavorable].
Pun is definitely intentional.😃
For a Thai Restaurant in a plaza it is fantastic for the price.
BEST Thai food and restaurant in the world!!! The workers in there are so friendly too. The food is very delicious. Big portion size of plates, great for leftovers later and the pricing is fair. Love Golden Thai!!🤩🤩🤩
Great food, prices and service. By far some of the best Thai food I've had. You can't go wrong eating here.
My favorite place for Thai food! Everything is fresh and tastes AMAZING!
Best Tom kha soup and pork satay! Must try.
Yummy Thai food. The best in Longwood. But not not the best in Central Florida
The best Thai in the area! We have gotten take out multiple times and every time is so good! The pad Thai is big enough for 2! Highly recommend
Food was great, not the best Thai I've had in Orlando, but very good. And while we had to wait 30 minutes for a table, it was not their fault. It was the fault of two very rude and selfish men, that just sat there talking after paying their check for a long time. The staff was simply never trained on how to get guests like these to move on.
Best food Ever!!! Always good.
I love the curry
Excellent service, and excellent food. Good prices, and portions served were great.
Love this place. Great food at good prices.
I loved it so much
Food was really good. No real complaints other than the nuclear temperature of the food. That means it's fresh, but much too hot. Had to wait several minutes just to be able to eat.
Best Thai food in Seminole county
Delicious food, friendly staff and fast service! One of our favorites!
Awesome lunch! Soda, Soup, spring rolls, and an entree for 10 bucks! Great flavor, great service, great spot!!!
Decent thai food in the area. First time here a week ago for dinner. They have this chili jam item on their menu that I have not seen at othet thai restaurants.
I felt like there was not a lot of vegetables in my dish then what I was expecting.
My friend had the shrimp dish.
Fantastic soup and salad. Everything is fresh. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended.
I have come here several times now and have yet to have a bad experience. The lunch special is amazing, you can get a meal, spring rolls and soup for under 10 dollars! Every dish I’ve had so far has been great. I love the pad Thai, yellow curry fried rice and garlic meat. Every dish can be personalized by which meat you’d like, as well as how spicy you want it. My favorite part is hands down the soup. The staff is also very friendly.
Excellent food and service very simple menu but good food
My family and I have been going here for years and unfortunately as of December 26th 2019 the food is absolutely terrible from the appetizers to the main course the food was terrible we all talked about it in the car worst Thai food I've had and I have visit Thailand on many occasion unfortunately I don't know what's going on over there but that will be the last visit I have at this place sad to see an icon lose its reputation.
The best lunch deal in town! Fantastic food, great prices.
Great food
Always delicious and generous portions, you have to try the Angel Wings because they are amazing
This is my favorite Thai restaurant in Orlando!
I would give the food 4.5, I ordered hot and it was not what I expected. Next time I will go Thai hot, but it was my first time there. Everything was great unassuming exterior, cute inside great service. Flavors where all delicious.
Great food!!!! Never fails!!!
Food was pretty bland in my opinion. Ordered yellow curry with chicken (hot) and was not impressed. Couple weeks ago went to mee Thai on lee rd. Was so much better
Best place around for some decent curry dishes. As mild or hot as you like.
Great food and price!
The chicken pad Thai is just pretty plain. Golden Thai down the street is 10x better
Good food and very reasonably priced
Just finished lunch there. The food tasted delicious, however halfway through my meal a small brown roach crawled out of the plate of sauces they brought to go with my pad Thai. It then proceeded to crawl to my soup bowl and hang out. Being that the restaurant was packed I didn't want to induce panic by screaming and making a scene so I quietly showed the waiter who was horrified and he quickly took the plates and critter to the back. The management quickly came to assure me that it happened because they came and sprayed yesterday which caused it to come out and that the place is indeed clean.
They then proceeded to only remove the soup from my bill and I had to pay full price for my pad Thai because it didn't actively crawl on my pad Thai plate. I'm sorry but when a live roach comes out of a plate and runs around the table I would expect to be comped fully. I just wish I would've taken a picture of it instead of trying to shoo it away from me while hurriedly trying to wave over the waiter to get it. Or that I had made a scene and maybe saved the other patrons from potential disaster.
Again the food tasted great but I wont be back as I cannot trust the cleanliness of the kitchen. And I was less than satisfied with how it was handled.
Awesome food
Got the fried rice with chicken. It was incredible.
My favorite Thai spot - very good food and excellent service!
Great food, great prices. Been going here for years and the quality hasn't changed at all. It's a quaint family owned business that's extremely friendly with the sweetest mom owner. You can't go wrong ordering thai here.
Everything is good!
Amazing place great people increadable food. Cant say enough good things.
Good food and good service and easy to get to.
Good taste at a fair price
