Thai Town — Restaurant in Fort Walton Beach

I have been eating at this restaurant for over 25 years. The food has traditional Thai flavors at a reasonable price. The portions are more than enough to fill up the average person. I am usually full after eating about half of my meal then I enjoy the other half for lunch the following day. As with any other food from different parts of the same country the flavors may differ slightly but the flavors from this Thai Restaurant are a good solid foundation that you can take home and add additional flavors as you choose to make your meal taste exactly like you enjoyed it in Thailand. For example the Thai Beef Salad from here is excellent as is but occassionally I like to mix just a dash of orange juice into the dressing for a slight citrus flavor like is found with Thai Beef Salad in the beach area around Pattaya Thailand. If you ask them for a small slice of orange in the restaurant to duplicate the flavor from the beach region they will probably have one. If not the dressing is still good as is. I have tried many Thai restaurants in the local area and they are all ok but some give smaller portions and some have americanized the Thai beef salad with roast beef that tastes mushy instead of the traditional flank or skirt steak. All in all the food has been consistent here throughout the years so this is my usual go to place for Thai food. Take note if you order the spice level Thai hot here be prepared for Thai hot the same as you would get in Thailand. They use fresh vegetables and peppers with the dishes that they prepare here and the fresh peppers pack some heat. Give this place a try and keep in mind that it is not a 5 star steak house with $50.00 entrees. It is a good traditional family owned restaurant that puts out great meals at a great price. For the most part you will leave full and...

💯 Authentic Thai Food and Recipes. 10/10 Very impressed.

🙏 Complimentary Spring Roll - perfect all the way around. Thin crispy flaky wrapper, crispy shredded lettuce, and tender glass noodles. Can't make it better than this.

🍛 Massaman Curry - I've had countless variations of this dish, and Thai Town is top shelf. Loved the thin disc shaped carrots with zig zag edges, nice touch. Thinly sliced tender beef and bite sized cubed potatoes (some chefs leave this too large imo). Don't think ive seen a slice of orange bell pepper in this dish before, nice touch there as well.

🍲 Tom Kha Gai (Spicy Mushroom Coconut Milk Soup) - Again, Wow! Possibly the best Ibe ever had. Packed with ingredients and flavors. Big stems of lemongrass, lots of mushrooms, lime leaves, and chicken. 100% authentic tasting. Gigantic portion for $15 - could be a meal since it's served with rice.

🍜 Pad Thai - perfect version of this traditional recipe. Large portion, well cooked noodles, and fresh tasting ingredients.

🍵 Thai Tea - good, maybe a bit heavy on the coconut milk.

🔥 Thai Spicy level of hotness in soup and curry is good, not too spicy if you like some heat.

I hadn't been here in quite a while and had Googled it to check out their menu. In their photos there was one of my favorite dishes with the comment "Must try their goi!". I didn't see it on their menu, so I figured it may be something you can request. So we went there with the anticipation that I would be able to get this dish. However, when I asked the server, she stated they only serve it to "their people". I explained that not only did I know what this dish was, it was my favorite and I have had it many times at other places. She said she would check with the cook. She seemed put out. When she came back, she said he said no. We went ahead and ordered other items from the menu. The food was good, but nothing special. I've had better elsewhere. We won't be going back. I felt as if I was being "profiled", that since I wasn't one of "their people", I didn't know what I was ordering. If that's what they thought or felt, she should have simply stated they don't serve it. When I've ordered this elsewhere, I've not had...
