Thai Meal — Restaurant in Plantation

Quite possibly my new favorite meal (at least from a non vegan restaurant) is from Thai Meal in Plantation. While the restaurant itself is not vegan they have a whole section on the menu that is vegan that includes vegan chicken and fish as well as tofu, and I think they have a few different kinds of vegan chicken. Pictured here is an order 1/2 vegan chicken with green curry and extra veggies (the extra veggies were $2 and I think it was worth it, but have also enjoyed it all the same without). The portion of food is huge, as you can see here and is set red with a bowl of rice. For $18 (plus $2 for extra veggies) this is big enough to share but too good to want to share it, so it’s basically 2 meals. The 1/2 chicken, was basically overflowing out of the bowl, it has a crispy skin and moist inside and absorbs the curry and spices perfectly. The veggies were sautéed to perfection and were great with the rice and spice. Just so happy with this restaurant and it’s commitment to delivering a good vegan meal, as the server was quick to warn me about some dishes not on vegan menu that looked vegan, but had fish sauce in it. I have previously gotten the chicken wings and they are a different style and texture, but incredibly tasty as well. I have tried many of the other vegan dishes there too and they keep giving me reasons to come back, and as long as they keep that vegan section on the menu, I will, and you should too! 2 vegan thumbs up, even though it’s not a fully vegan restaurant, the vegan section is step above...

Thai Meal is located right behind the chase bank in the middle of the Plaza. The best way to get there is to use the light as the Plaza is a little the cramped from all other entrances.

I ordered take out at 6 pm on a Tuesday and they said my order would be ready in 15-20 mins. The inside of the restaurant was clean, but a little sparse in customers. My order was ready when I got there and I was quickly helped.

I have been craving Drunken Noodles for some time so I ordered the Drunken Man Noodles with Tofu with a spiciness of 3/5. I can only account for how the noodles are by the time I got home, which was a 20 minute drive with traffic. The noodles were mostly stuck together, mangled looking, and a little too mushy. The seasoning was on point and the spiciness was a medium, which I thought was good. There was also a good amount of tofu added.

I also ordered fried rice with tofu. The fried rice itself was excessively bland, but at least looked like fried rice. I know fried rice isn't a wow factor dish, but it could definitely be better. This dish also had a good amount of tofu added.

Overall, the place looks nice, the staff is friendly, but the dishes I got were subpar. If I'm in the area, I might give it another try and order something normal like pad thai, but I am definitely not driving 20...

The enthusiastic ratings associated with this restaurant was the cause for our visit. We decided that this would be the perfect place to celebrate our mother's 50th Birthday. We were seated but after about 20 mins we noticed that ALL of the waiters assisting every table ( including the 3 families that came in shortly after our arrival) aside from ours. We requested assistance and received our drinks. 40 minutes later we were still waiting for our food to be served. As we glanced around the restaurant we acknowledged that the ENTIRE RESTAURANT (including a total of 7 new families that arrived after our arival) were enjoying their dinner. While my party of five which includes my 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER were waiting for an order that was placed an hour previously. To add on to the all ready questionable situation, every customer (exempt from our table) were the opposite race. We asked for an update on our order and was told that there was a mix up and our food would be out shortly. Another 30 minutes rolled past and the even newer customers were now enjoying their dinners where as for our table only a few small items were brought. We then decided to cancel our orders for the unacceptable lack of service and clear display...
