Welcome to Dali's Lao Thai Cafe in Sanford, your go-to for authentic Lao and Thai takeout. Our dishes feature in-house, family-crafted recipes.
I have been searching for the best summer rolls in Orlando and I think I finally found it. I absolutely love Thai and Vietnamese summer rolls (sometimes called spring rolls) with their rice wrappers, shrimp, salad type veggies, and peanut sauce. However, at many restaurants, these rolls are messy to eat, come with dry gritty pork, or taste a few days old. This is NOT the case with Dali's. Their summer rolls are crispy fresh, tightly rolled, easy to eat, and flavorful. While I tend to like my peanut sauce a little less sweet and more peanut buttery, their sauce is still fantastic and crave-able. I also got a Thai tea but I forgot to take a picture of it. It was perfectly mixed and a great companion to my summer roll.
They're counter service style with a very friendly staff and chef. The entire restaurant is clean and well maintained.
I highly recommend and I will become a frequent diner here. I look forward to trying the rest of the menu!
I loveeeee this place! My favorite spot for thai iced tea in sanford/lake mary area. I had to order 2 because its just that good 😅 The pad thai is very flavorful and fresh and the chicken is tender. Staff is very welcoming and friendly. Definitely check this hidden gem out if you are in the area!
Such a wonderful experience all around- including picking up my food. The minute I opened my Massaman Curry with tofu, I knew it was going to be good. It was exactly what my body needed. You could tell that it was made with love. Thank you. I will be back!
Loved it here!
My food was super yummy, fresh, and delicious! I got the Khao Poon Pong with chicken. My husband got the Lad Na with chicken, which was also fresh, nice, and hot. We were able to add extra spice to our dishes, which was great, considering we could add spice to our liking (which is a lot).
Both dishes were delicious & perfect!
I absolutely love that they are a Christ centered business. The owners are the sweetest, most respectable people I've ever met.
We came with the previous owners, and we will continue to come back with the new owners. 😊
We love Dali Thai! It’s right down the road from us so perfect for those nights you don’t feel like cooking. Our family loves the Panang and I love the Drunken Noodles. We love supporting local places and especially those who share our faith. Thank you for being bold with the spices and with sharing. Everything we’ve had is hot and delish!
I ate twice from this place, both times takeout. First time I ordered the pad basil stirfry with tofu and vegetables. It was delicious. Good sized portion and well seasoned with fresh vegetables and fried tofu. A second time I simply got an order of vegetable summer rolls. They were very large and filled with a nice assortment of vegetables, basil and rice noodles. The peanut sauce that came with it was delicious. It was quite a deal for $5.84. Service was fast and very kind. I would definitely go back there again.
Very good food! Friendly service and a clean environment. The food is very spicy, but the staff warned us and gave us suggestions. A great little place to eat! Will bring some other friends here another time!

We got food and ate it there, but it would be a great take out place too! I got the red curry and my husband got the drunken noodles and we absolutely loved it! They had good vegan options for our friend as well.

👍 Enjoyed the fresh spring rolls, the fried rice, and the papaya salad. The spice levels are legit. Didn’t hurt yourself. Looking forward to trying other stuff.
Not only the best food but the best service and beautiful environment!!! It was definitely a place of peace! Thank you for your kindness to my 5 year old while we waited! We will be back!!

Five stars, highly recommend~! I'm on my way to Ohio and still thinking about the delicious pad thai I had at this restaurant. There was enough in the container for two meals and every bite was heavenly. I want to try everything on the menu.
never had an issue here even though its minor. I ordered a pad thai yesterday and asked for extra peanut sauce they charged me 50 cents extra for which is fine but when i got back to my job I noticed there was no peanut sauce... before they would put it in a little container in the bag but there was nothing. just a little bit of crushed peanuts on top of the pad thai thats it. i kept trying to call the store cause i only get 30 minutes for lunch and nobody answers and just get a voicemail saying to order my food online.
I'm lucky they are so close to my house because their food is amazing. Great customer service as well.

First time to Dali's. I ordered online the Penang Curry with Steamed Tofu one step above Thai Hot. I was very surprised when I arrived how clean the restaurant was and how friendly the people were to me. Everything was ready when I got there. The food and the spice level did not disappoint. It was delicious (Thai: Aroi Mak Mak). This place made me feel like I was back in Thailand again. I highly recommend trying this experience.

Dear Dali Laos I’m trying hard to give you all our Thai business. Ordered via Uber Eats this evening and the Massaman Curry was very watered down and I’ve never had it with large green chunks in it??? Not crazy about the cucumber in the summer rolls either.
This place is amazing! I go so often because it's so close to my job, but mainly because it's HANDS DOWN THE BEST THIA FOOD IVE EVER HAD....and I've been to quite a few as it's one of my favorite cuisines!
The service is also extremely personable and good. Tip and Brandon put alot into the place and did i mention the food is good???!!! It's family owned and they make me feel welcome and special everytime I go in.
The prices are moderate, but you get a lot of food and it's always fresh and delicious. I have tried a variety of items on the menu now as it's all so good I just plan to order everything. The quality is what I like the most. You get 5 star food at an affordable price, and it's so packed with flavor!
The only downside is they aren't a restaurant where you can be served, I would come with my family if it were!
Please try this place out you won't be disappointed. I never am and I make a point to go once a month (used to be about twice a week) . The food , service, people, and atmosphere are fantastic!
You never know when they're going to be open or closed.
Now you can't even call in your order and the online payment portal won't work. How is this place still in business?
Great food, take the spice level seriously! Got the panang chicken mild and pad thai hot. Mild still has a little kick to it, and hot was too much for me but another family member who likes spicy food ate it just fine.
Nothing like the quality and customer service of a family owned and operated business/restaurant 🙌
First let me say that this use to be my favorite place to get wonton soup… when to original owner made it from scratch , now it taste like store bought brand and for that I’ll be finding a new favorite place for wonton soup not to mention the price for the size you get at $$$
I just saying how much does it cost to make great wonton soup??? That’s my two cents…
Hope that the new owner’s will stay in business with the not so great food as well as the previous owner’s ….. This was my choice to get food here so I’m not blaming it on the new owner’s.
The pad thai is some of the best I've ever had. Staff is friendly and food is served quick and hot. Highly recommend.
Update*
The khoa poon ghai isn't the same under the new ownership. However, since last review it has gotten much, much better. There was a bit more kick in the delivery of the broth and still using fresh ingredients. Although, the first time back under new management was slightly disappointing. You guys have made great strides to recover and deliver the food that I used to praise regularly to others. Great job! Oh so deliocioso! Hope you guys continue to find success. 3 to 5 star change in update. - Keegan
Great takeout spot, little expensive but very good quality food and you're supporting local. Their spice quality I will say does range depending on who's cooking it seems. One day hot will be on fire and another it will be pretty tame. So careful with that.
Food was delish and great portions. Service was excellent, very friendly and the restaurant was clean. We will be returning!
Delicious pad Thai and fried rice! Didn't even have enough to save for a midnight snack 🙂
Best Thai in Sanford. People are awesome as well. Had the drunken noodle with chicken (my usual) and spring rolls. Order with confidence.
We placed a big order for our family and this was my first time eating from here as I am traveling here only!
The summer rolls were phenomenal. I got the veggie ones and my partner got the shrimp. I think it would taste better with romaine lettuce instead of iceberg lettuce for a better crunch!
Their spice range is also a little funky as well since “mild” is technically 0 spice on their ordering website. And we ordered a few “medium” dishes” which is the level right after mild and they were very spicy (hot spicy). For reference, I got a hot spicy dish and it was as spicy as those medium ones! I don’t mind because I *love* spicy but the spice averted family members say otherwise (haha).
The yellow curry didn’t really resemble other yellow curries. It was more red and they were very salty. We didn’t end up finishing this dish unfortunately.
Overall, food was extremely fresh. Just a few things that could have used more improvements to make the whole meal more enjoyable.
Thank you all!!
The food is absolutely so incredible. I’ve ordered several things from them and they are consistently delicious.I usually get two meals out of one entree because of their portion size. Drunken fried rice is our family favorite!
Their apps and desserts are also so yummy!
Was craving thai food on the way to the airport. Picked this unassuming location purely off the photos all I needed to satiate my knowledge was the flavors and wow was it worth it. To start off the portions were incredibly huge, packed tightly, served hot, with a generous amount of garnishes, veggies, meats and noodles.
My favorite things to order at any Thai restaurant is Pad Thai and Pad see ew. Home favorites that I am always craving when I'm away. The flavors were beyond umami, deliciously authentic, the sweet savory sour flavor of the pad thai absolutely wow'd me.
I've tried so many restaurants in the city a lot being hit or a really far miss but this quaint location served such unparalleled quality and flavors. With prompt and welcoming service as well! I wish this business success and hope more people get to try Dali's for a truly authentic Thai experience.
Such a great experience. The staff were very friendly and the food was amazing. I ordered the Beef and rice and was it phenomenal. Definitely will be coming back for more lunch.
The food is absolutely so incredible. I’ve ordered several things from them and they are consistently delicious. I have a decent spice tolerance but the medium is very spicy and the mild also has some spice (very manageable). I usually get two meals out of one entree. Their apps and desserts are also so yummy!
My food was delicious
Great food great service highly recommend.
What a wonderful family that owns this fantastic restaurant. Delicious , fresh food with large portions. Thank you so much for a great experience. You all are a blessing.
I ordered the drunken noodles with chicken hot spice lvl the food was very flavorful and the spice being just right especially being jamaican (spice lover). I love supporting small businesses/ family owned because corporations lose sight of what's important and look at guests as just a number and not an individual. I previously picked up some food for my boss a week prior that she was treating us to. The owner introduced himself and his family and made me feel welcomed i agreed to comeback if the food was good and I did . I definitely found a new spot if you want good food and great customer service you should stop by. Thank you Brandon & family
Very nice, clean and casual Thai food take out place in Lake Mary. Staff was friendly, courteous and polite. Love the food and generous amount.
Thank you Dali!!!!! Every dish I’ve had over the past 3 years have been absolutely delicious hard to pick a favorite
The food is always fresh and incredible. Been coming here for awhile and love bringing friends and family to enjoy it with me. Make sure you try the curries and my favorite the drunken fried rice!
Chicken pad thai is delicious.
Beware before ordering from this place. If they mess up your food, don’t expect a refund or exchange—they’ll just shrug it off. I specifically ordered mild, but what I got was insanely spicy, to the point of being inedible. The spice powder was clumped all over the tofu and veggies, a clear sign someone screwed up big time in the kitchen. Yet, they refused to take responsibility for their mistake. Terrible service and zero accountability. Spend your money elsewhere
What a great family owned buisness! Food came out fresh and very tasty. Service was excellent I will definitely be coming back.
Wow! This is an amazing dining experience. If you love Thai food, would highly recommend.
Easy to order quick service. Great taste.
The drunken Noodles are my favorite of any Thai I've had in Florida.
This place was good before but even better with new ownership!!! Had Chicken fried rice, Pad Kha Tiam and rice dessert. Everything wad amazing!!
Super friendly service too
Food was delicious...not too salty.
This place keeps disappointing me. No matter how much I say NO SPICE, they keep making the Lad Nah spicy, plus it's waaay too salty. I mean like 5000 milligrams of salt. I have to rinse and reheat it at home. Please, tone down tge spicy and salty.
Highly recommend
This is our favorite place to eat in all of Sanford. It is always fabulous, the portions are generous. It is so good you can't stop eating it. Our kids love the drunken noodles, we love the Pad King and Lad Na. You really can't go wrong here though, just order what sounds good because it will be!
Great family! Great family owneed business. Drunken noodles were soooo good!
This is by far our favorite Thai place. If we lived a bit closer we would eat there all the time, but fortunately it is close enough to grab on my way home from work.
This is our family’s go to place now. If you want to eat authentic thai food then look no further. Much better than other big names. I always crave for their fried rice and panang curry. One of the best thai food restaurants in sanford/lakemary area.
My husband and I always order from Dali's! The food is fantastic and they are very consistent. Thank you to everyone at Dali's!
Great food. Take out business model.
We have come again and again and the food is just as amazing as the last time. They are the kindest people! We have tried many dishes and they are all delicious. Try new something new, you will not be disappointed! We will definitely be back again and again!
Almost $18 for just one single order of pad thai at a take out restaurant is just greed. There are no two ways about it. The food is great, don't get me wrong. I've been here quite a few times, but I won't be going back.
This is not a sit down restaurant, there are tables there, but it's the same setup as your typical cut and paste Chinese restaurant. They are charging sit down, gourmet restaurant prices and asking for a tip before you walk out with your food in a plastic bag
This is hands down our favorite carry out spot in Sanford/lake Mary. You can’t go wrong with any of the curries - so many fresh veggies! My kids can’t get enough of the drunken noodles and basil chicken - we are never disappointed. Everyone there is so friendly and we have amazingly never had a mistake in any order- and there have been many!
Dali’s Lao Thai Cafe never disappoints us! Authentic, tasty food keep us coming back for more. Lao sausage with home-made chili paste was so fragrant and yummy. Every noodle dish we ordered was excellent! Not a typical take out place and we very much appreciate the restaurant and the staff!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I can’t recommend this place enough! This small, family-owned Thai restaurant is a hidden gem. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm smiles and attentive service.
The food is great and the portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable. Whether you’re a Thai food lover or trying it for the first time, this spot will leave you wanting to come back again and again. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!
Have been in multiple times and the staff are very nice and friendly. The food is the best Thai that I have found in the area.
Decided to try this Thai Food on Sat .. I went in for a certain food but they didn’t make or serve it ,so looking at menu a couple who just finished eating there said try MEK KAI TI you won’t regret it. So I decided to take their word and OMG! I went back today to order more! Family owned and they are Awesome! I definitely recommend Dali’s Lao/Thai
Best Pad Thai in 30 miles radius. I'm not kidding, I have been to every Thai restaurant in Orlando and around Orlando. Totally worth the drive. You will have to wait because they are busy always, but like I said "totally worth it"
I used to LOVE this place before the ownership change. During covid I ordered my comfort meal Lad Naa wheb I got sick because it used to be a large soup container of gravy like broth and a side dish of noodles and veggies. Now this dish is a burnt tastinh super salty and thick sauce that cant unglued the noodles, its a faction of the size while greatly increased in price! The spring rolls taste like prepackaged frozen rolls. I am so greatly disappointed I will not come here again
September 6 I just left your restaurant. I must tell you. The food was excellent. The service was excellent.
the lady I spoke with at the front. Her name is Tipp She has a great personality. And we will definitely be back many, many times over.I will recommend this place to all my friends and family.Thank you.
What this place lacks in atmosphere they make up for in their flavorful food. We had the summer rolls, pad thai, drunken noodles, and house special fried rice. All delicious. My new favorite Thai place in town!
still 5 star with the new ownership!
Dali's Lao Thai Café is a great spot for Thai food lovers. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere with friendly staff that makes you feel welcome. The Pad Thai here is fantastic. First time visiting and certainly not the last. Recommended!!!!
Good authentic Lao/Thai food just like I grew up on!
The beef jerky with sticky rice is my go to meal!
Very good food! I missed this delicious place!!! Every thing delicious can’t wait to go back!!!
I was craving one of my favorite traditional lao papaya salad with sticky and decided to go inside to request my accommodations. The cook did it so perfectly, adding her touch with the added vegetables. I also tried the dessert special they suggested and it was so delicious. As a first customer
it's 10/10 for me. The staff was so friendly as well. I will be definitely returning. I also heard it's new ownership, continue the great work guys!
The food here was so fresh and good. Out of probably 10 different Viet and Thai places, I have never had summer rolls as fresh as here. The staff was super friendly!
I am spoiled by the previous owner. The Panang Chicken Curry and Summer Rolls different. Never had bamboo shoots in Panang Curry; chicken was not all white meat; coconut milk flavor lacking? Summer Rolls rice wrap did not hold up, fell apart. Or sure I will eat there again.
Been ordering from here for years. Unfortunately, after the change in ownership my favorite dish isn't even worth ordering anymore - the pad king beef. It used to be awesome; now it's not good. I've tried it 3 times since the change, to give them a chance, but it's just not good anymore. I used to love it. I wish they could just make it like the old cook did. One problem with it is they use way too much sauce now. They just drown the ingredients in the sauce, and not in a good way. On the bright side, the red curry beef still seems pretty good. It's just sad how bad the pad king is now....not worth ordering. Please make the Pad King the way it used to be!
I have been coming here for quite a while and the food was always great, full of flavor, vibrant, etc.
This past week though I came in and ordered the Pad Basil and it was not appetizing at all. Not sure what happened. The dish was mostly colorless where before it had been vibrant. Much less basil this time and more cabbage-looking leaves instead. Overall the flavor was not even half of what it has been in the past, and the heat level was higher than normal.
Honestly not sure if I can come back considering it's not cheap; I'd hate to order again and have this same experience happen.
I've been coming here for a few years, it's one of my favorite spots. I read about the ownership change and was justifiably nervous. I am happy and relieved to report the food is still fantastic! I will continue to return!
On a side note, one of my favorite things was always how spicy they would make it (if you want). I used to get the "make me cry" spice level which was no joke. I mentioned that today when I was ordering and they did not disappoint! Wow!
Very good food. I will come eat here again. Good cooks and good service.
If you are presently googling lunch spots or Thai food, I’ll pick for you. Go here! My favorite lunch spot, and Thai spot in Orlando. Super friendly staff and atmosphere. This is a no brainer.
Service, food and owner Mimi was absolutely worth the drive. Please be sure to try the mango sticky rice, the drunken fried rice and the most refreshing purple lemonade. Family owned and the nicest people you would ever meet. Thank you Mimi for making me and my sister Brenda day amazing. We will be back.
Amazing service. The drunken fried rice wasdelicious and the summer rolls were fresh.
They are so friendly and customer service was amazing. Food was so good especially Lao sausages.
The taste of Thai curries is not as good since there has been ownership change. Will probably not go back.
This use to be my favorite place. I rarely ordered take out but every week I would get something from here maybe even twice a week. The Thai food always tasted so fresh. Unfortunately they are no longer the same and all the food taste very different from before. The service was nice but wouldn’t be returning for the food.
This was oncey favorite Thai place. And recently they've undergone new management. Smh. This is NOT a Thai spot. The food is nowhere near the same. I'm terribly disappointed. I was a regular here. I'm so heartbroken. The food is a feeble attempt at copying the original recipes. Trash.
Nice food
Good food. I went for lunch and ordered the tom khem (pork soup w/ boiled eggs) with sticky rice and chicken satay. The tom khem had good flavor and there was a decent amount of meat, though it was a lil overly fatty. Fat was rendered appropriately and was totally edible, but I still prefer meat to fat. The chicken satay was pretty decent, though could have been a bit juicier. Service was pleasant and speedy. Dining room is small but clean.
The masamun curry is me and my husbands favorite. Definitely my favorite Thai place.
My fav Thai place in Central Florida. Crave their Panang curry all the time!
The food is always delicious 🤤 people are friendly, nice family owned authentic spot.
Family recipes, delicious! Red Curry is fantastic
The best Thai food in town. The service is amazing. They have alot of gluten free options as well
Fresh and delicious! Highly recommend.
Friendly people and good food.
The worst customer service. I will NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN!!!
One of the best place to eat.
Fantastic food, Green Curry Chicken was amazing. great staff.
Nice little family place.
Best Thai basil fried rice I've ever had
This is a great option for delicious Thai food. You can choose your spice level in your dishes, as well, so choose wisely.
Amazing food at a great price.
Dali's Lao is the best Thai restaurant in central Florida. High-quality food with amazing taste, served by the hardest-working and friendliest people. This is the place to go if you want a meal that won't disappoint!
The food is authentic. It’s very hard to find a place like that.
Favorite Thai in town. Wish they had more of a dine in set up. But takeout is excellent.
Great clean place! Food was fresh, but did lacked a bit of flavor. Folks were really nice and awesome service. Will try asking for extra flavor next time. I didn't really taste any basil but the ingredients were all fresh. I would go again
Absolutely amazing. Great food, great place, family run. Give them a shot!
Food has been great every time I've been here. The staff is really friendly and helpful with explaining menu items if you don't know much about Thai food.
Did our 2nd takeout order yesterday, and we've been so impressed! Their Thai vegan options are plentiful, including lots of tofu options. I highly recommend all their curry options. I also tried out the purple rice, which I wasn't familiar with, and was VERY impressed!
We had late lunch at Dees Thai that was really outstanding. The papaya salad was made fresh & was addicting. The Massaman & Red Curry was made to our desired heat level & was A++ excellent. Staff was attentive & professional. We'd eat here at least once a week & would recommend you try Dee's (Dali's) Thai.
Excellent thai food. This will be our go-to place from now on.
This was one of the best Thai restaurants I have ever been to. Go now and get everything
I tried ordering online but get an error message about my zipcode being wrong… but it was correct. My card was also charged. I tried calling them several times after this happened but no one answered the phone. It would’ve been my 1st time ordering from them.
Unbelievably overpriced!!!
Absolute best! Drive extra distance from Orlando just to eat here.
I’d been to quite a few Thai restaurants searching for the best curry - to my liking and the search ends here at Dalis Lao Thai Cafe’s Mom and Pop family owned and operated. their Red curry with chicken and mixture’s of vegetables is simply extraordinary. Staff here is also wonderful! I’m averaging twice a week take outs from here.
One of the BEST Thai restaurants I've ever been to in my life.
First Thai experience since moving to Sanford and it was excellent! Food was delicious and customer service was extremely pleasant. Will recommend and will definitely be back!
Great food. Fast and friendly. Best for takeout.
Authentically good food! Wish there were vegan options for the curry though. But I eat what I can there … the Drunken fried rice with tofu is great!
Some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had!! Truly amazing ❤️
If you are looking for atmosphere, not your place. However, if you are looking for flavor, 💯 your place! The inside seating is minimal and stark, they clearly do a lot of take out. My food was so delicious and you are able to see the kitchen and hear the prepping of food. I loved our food! Highly recommend for a date night in, family night in or lunch at the office!
Great food consistency is awsome love this place
Spot is clean, food is great, and the staff is extremely professional. I’ll go back for sure .
yum
Staff is very nice. We normally get the pad thai. So far it's the best pad thai we've had around here.
I’ve been coming to Dali’s for a while now. The food is amazing and the owners give a great family vibe. Highly recommend this restaurant!!
Absolutely delicious takeaway Thai. Maybe my new favorite place! They're serious about their heat levels, not cheap with the ingredients, and delicious. Love, love, love them.
So glad I finally got in. Been meaning to do them for a while now but they were always just so busy whenever I've had the chance. Delicious.
Food's really good, it's just expensive
Awesome Meal
Great food.
Try Drunken Fried rice that comes with basil.
Red curry is my second favorite
Can't have enough of this place! Family owned and authentic Thai food. Kahn, you the man!
Fantastic.Great Thai in an area that lacks authentic Asian food. Preparation is fantastic and the chili paste is about as homemade as it gets. To the travelers and big-city transplants, this is about as good as you’ll get for Thai/SE Asian.
ok, so I saw all these great reviews and finally tried the food here. I eat at a LOT of places. I must say, I am not a fan. I don't get the high rating and rave reviews. It is good, but definitely not great. No offense to the owner. But this is very average food.
I was in Florida visiting my family and wanted to try this place. From the outside it just looked like a regular takeout joint, but when you walk in, you smell the aromas and and see the magic happening in the kitchen! The place is family owned. I ordered the Lad Na and the flavors this plate had took me to a place of food wonders. It was amazing, the best Lad Na I have ever tasted. My wife and I have been to many Thai restaurants, but nothing like this one. We then ordered the Mango and sticky rice and this was wonderful. The rice was a dark purple and so delicious with big chunks of mango, they sure did not skimp on the portions at all. If you’re looking for a Thai place that cooks like they are cooking for their own family, you need to try this place. Grandma and grandpa and the rest of the family will take you places you’ve never been before with flavors that are out of this world.
Best thai outside of Orlando, hands down.
One of my favorite local restaurants in Orlando, delicious curry's and noddles!
Always closed in spite of Google saying it is open.
The drunken noodles had no sauce, it was dry and bland. Chicken Satay was also dry, the peanut dipping sauce was in a portion cup that had a teaspoon of sauce. The A/C was on 86°. It felt cooler outside than inside. we are in the middle of summer!
The portions of drunken noodles were plentiful but the chicken satay was quite small with 3 small chicken strips. The speed of service was average. Friendly staff. Place was clean. But hot and smokey inside.
Dali’s Lao Thai Cafe does not miss! My fiancé and I have been coming here since just around the time they opened (surprised I forgot to add a review earlier). There is nothing better than supporting a small business that fills our hearts and our stomachs like Dali’s. Flavor profiles are immaculate and portion sizes are generous.
Didn’t try the food. Currently , it is a take out only established.Drove 12 miles because of good ratings but no inside service.
Always a great meal here, and great people. Love the Thai red curry with beef.
Food is on point. Not many Laotian restaurants
Wow! My husband decided to bring home dinner and chose Dali’s Loa. He had the Phad Thai and I had Red Curry and the both were awesome. The flavors were perfect and you could tell ingredients were very fresh. I am so glad we found a new place to get our Thai fix. Delicious 😋
Very tasty. Loved it! We found our Thai place!!
Wow!!! I’m blown away by how delicious my meal was!! Tom yum goong soup was exceptional, Green curry was perfect👌 And Nam tok beef waterfall was delicious! The flavors uplifted my mood and I cannot wait to try more of their menu items. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Chicken Larb and Lao Papaya Salad were very flavorful and packed with herbs. Be sure to also try their excellent homemade chili paste. The purple sticky rice dessert was sweet with smoky overtones. Will be back!
Ordered through uber eats. Pad Thai and Yellew Curry were both delicious. Thank You.
The food is pretty good but the menu online shows they have a lunch special. I went there with my food to go thinking it be one price and it was dinner price. Nice people and good food. Just fix that.
Delicious Thai fusion food- our new go-to, since our last favorite place let us down. The food is savory and delicious here, and the portion on my chicken pad Thai was good. Great Thai tea, too! I only took a star away because it’s a bit expensive, in my opinion, but it won’t stop me from coming back!
I have been searching for a good Thai place for over a year and I cannot believe I didn’t find this sooner! The panang curry is superb!
It was so expensive and food was horrible ...
i was very surprised ...especially after seeing good reviews...chicken satay was dry...wonton soup dumpling was very mushy and no flavor and i paid for extra veggies and didnt get what i paid for. Very disappointed 😕 not going back
Great fresh food, served by a friendly family.
