Thai 4 You 3824 Murrell Rd., Rockledge, FL 32955
4 Stars
With 59 years under my cyclopean belt, I've seen food phases come and go. Some last and eventually become part of the dining landscape, ie, Frozen Yogurt. Thai food has been around for a long time, but it seems to be getting a steroid shot in the keister as Thai joints are popping up with such frequency that you can often find them next to each other and across the street! More often than not, these are also hybrid eateries that serve Thai food and Sushi. I've reviewed more than a handful of these types of restaurants. It is not common to find one that is dedicated to only Thai food. Thai 4 You, corny name and all, is such a place.
I was greeted warmly and seated immediately. Almost as soon as I sat down, Adam approached my table and informed me that he would be my waiter for the repast. Adam has a great personality and is a pro all the way. He is also the owner. I asked Adam for the Thai 4 You Special and some Chicken Green Curry (my Thai food test dish).
Before too long, and again, I do time these things, Adam returned with our Thai fare. The aromas caressing my olfactory nerve made it difficult for me to snap the before pictures, as all I wanted to do was scarf down. However, like Adam, I too am a professional and was here for a job, not to stuff my pie hole. As you can see, everything looks delicious; now, let's see if the looks are deceiving.
My first taste was of Adam's Thai 4 You Special. This is a delectable dish of stir-fried shrimp and beef tossed with a special house Thai sauce, served over a pile of mixed vegetables. The shrimp was juicy and tender, the beef was cooked to perfection and the veggies were delicious. All in all, this was a better-than-average representation of Thai cuisine. Truly tasty on the tastebuds.
While the Green Curry sauce was not as creamy as I usually receive in other Thai places, the flavors were definitely popping on the taste buds and far above average. I found the chicken to be tender and succulent, while the veggies were cooked to perfection once again. Whoever was operating the wok in the back certainly knew what they were doing. It was obvious that they didn't just wok in off the street. Thai food is known for its spectacular flavor combinations, which often feature a balance of sweet and tongue-blasting hot. Unlike other spicy foods, one never loses the taste to the spice. Adam served up a prime example of this. I found the Green Curry to hit the palate with heat and flavor. I do love me some good Thai food!

Read moreI had the pleasure of dining at Thai 4 You, and the experience was nothing short of spectacular. The ambience of the restaurant set the perfect tone for an evening of delightful Thai cuisine.The Chicken Pad Thai was the star of the evening. Each strand of noodle was perfectly coated with a harmonious blend of flavors, striking a balance between sweet, sour, and savory. The chicken was tender, succulently intertwining with the noodles and the crunch of the fresh vegetables added a delightful texture.Moving on to the Chicken Red Curry, it was a masterpiece. The curry had a rich and creamy texture, with a spice level that tantalized the taste buds without overwhelming them. The chicken pieces were cooked to perfection, absorbing the flavors of the curry and melting in the mouth. The aromatic blend of Thai herbs and spices in the curry left an unforgettable taste.The house salad with ginger dressing was a refreshing start. The salad greens were crisp and fresh, and the ginger dressing was a revelation - a perfect mix of tangy and sweet, complementing the greens beautifully.In conclusion, Thai 4 You is a gem that offers an authentic Thai culinary experience. The dishes are crafted with care and passion, ensuring each bite is a journey through the rich flavors of Thailand. Highly recommended for anyone looking to indulge in some authentic Thai cuisine.
Update Jan 4, 2024: The Green Curry ( with chicken ) and Pad See Ew ( with Chicken ) were delightful. Photos attached. Notice that the red curry in previous photos has a deeper orange color than the Green Curry.

Read moreWe drove 30 minutes here to try their food because of the good reviews we saw online. Unfortunately there was traffic and by the time we unloaded the kids and got in the restaurant it was right before 2:30 (they close at 3 after lunch and reopen later). There was a couple at a table and we were seated by a guy immediately and right after he left in a hurry. Not even a minute later a woman from the back comes out asked us do we know what we want to order. Didn’t even ask us what we wanted to drink. We told her we didn’t know yet (as we were literally just seated). She proceeded to tell us that it’s bc they close soon. My husband says “yes. You close at 3 correct?” She says yes so we continued looking at the menus all the while she was awkwardly standing there staring, waiting and keep looking back into the kitchen. She walks away a minute later only to return a minute later doing the same thing, rushing us (she did this 4 times in about 5 minutes) made us so uncomfortable that we just got up and left. No. We will not ever be returning as there are MANY Thai restaurants around. Also, about 3 minutes after we were seated, a man walked in and told her he wanted to do a Togo order and she IMMEDIATELY asked him if he knew what he wanted. He said “can I get a menu?”. Thai 4 you, if u want customers out of there by 2:30, say you close at 2:30 instead of 3! Will...
