Noom Thai Bistro — Restaurant in Jacksonville

Overall Score: 5.6/10 – A quiet and welcoming Thai spot with exceptionally kind staff, but the lack of authentic atmosphere and average food make it hard to fully recommend.

Atmosphere and Service: 5.8/10 – The staff was the highlight, being some of the nicest and most accommodating people, adding a warm touch to the experience. However, the atmosphere was lacking, with the outside appearing closed due to poor lighting, and the inside feeling bare and without a Thai theme. The classic American 1950s music and the use of Japanese soy sauce didn’t align with the expected Thai dining experience.

Pineapple Fried Rice with Beef: 5.2/10 – A fairly basic dish with some good elements. The beef was tender and had a slightly different flavor than expected, but it worked well with the dish. The large chunks of carrot drew too much attention, overshadowing the other ingredients. Overall, it was decent but not remarkable.

App Tray: 6.2/10 – A mixed tray with some standout items. The wonton in the crab rangoon was thin and crispy, executed perfectly. The rolls were small but packed with flavor, adding a nice touch. The chicken satay was good, and the creamy peanut sauce complemented it well.

Sweet and Sour Chicken Stir Fry: 5.1/10 – This dish was average, with the sauce being a bit overpowering and masking some of the stir-fry’s flavors. The chicken was well-cooked and enjoyable, but the balance of ingredients could have been better. It was okay, but not...

Really enjoyed this spot that has a mixture of Japanese and Thai cuisine.

In a strip mall lighted up like the red light district, sits this gem of a Thai restaurant. Service was impeccable and the food delicious.

For starters, we tried the “pp Tray” which had a smattering of different appetizers to try. It was a good way to be introduced to Noom Thai’s cuisine.

So what about the food: Three sauces served with the app tray - **Plum Sauce - sweet and tangy sauce, loved it **Shrimp Sauce - yes, Japanese shrimp sauce **Sweet Chili Sauce - traditional Thai sweet chili Crab Rangoon - delicious version of the Rangoon, favorite of the table. Egg rolls - tightly rolled mini egg rolls. Shrimp rolls - marinated shrimp wrapped and deep fried, I missed the marinade, so this one fell flat for me. Pineapple fried rice - a nice mix of sweet and savory. Basil Stir Fry - good stir fry with a side of rice, lots of veggies in this dish. Massaman Curry - dish fell a little flat for our table. Red Curry - got this dish spiced up, my wife loved it. Basil Fried Rice - another solid hit for us. Mango Sticky Rice - perfect preparation of sweet and sticky rice, with fresh sliced mango.

As I mentioned, service was excellent and it was fun to have a mixture of Japanese...

Went by Noom for their lunch special. Don't be discouraged by the fact it is in a strip. The inside is extremely well decorated with modern furniture and elegant place settings. The bathrooms are also extremely clean which I feel is always a good sign!

Lunch prices range from $8-12 and offer a $2.99 upgrade to a daily soup or salad and 2 springs roll. The soup of the day was a crab soup which was similar to egg drop soup with a large portion of imitation crab. It was quite good. The spring rolls, while small, were very tasty and took the edge off as you waited for your meal. We ordered the massaman curry and drunken noodles. I was extremely impressed with the size of the curry, I couldn't eat it all and the server kindly offered to box it up for me and gave me extra rice to go. Both dishes had a substantial amount of meat which can be the downfall for many Thai places, in my opinion.

The server was friendly and helpful. She explained they make all of their dishes fresh in house. Made to order. So if you have any particulars, ie vegan, they can make it happen! Overall a very...
