Talay

I've been coming to Talay for lunch with a friend for months, and I just have to say—this place is fantastic! The food is consistently delicious, from their amazing lunch specials to their incredible drinks (get the Thai tea!). I love that I can customize the spiciness every time. My personal recommendations? You can't go wrong with the coconut soup (Tom Kha), but for me, the Pineapple Fried Rice is where it's at—it's an absolute must-try! On top of the great food, the service is wonderful. We've had Jojo as our server several times, and she is always so friendly and attentive. It’s true that it isn't the cheapest place, but you get what you pay for in quality, and I've left satisfied every single time. If you're looking for a new lunch spot, you have to give Talay a try!

Everything was really good and our server Racha was really nice. We got the raw oysters and shrimp for our starters, the oysters were really good, and the shrimp was okay, that's probably just me though. We got the Pad Thai with shrimp and their Salmon red curry (this was the recommended curry) that was probobly my favorite dish. For dessert we got their mango sticky rice and coconut ice cream bun, but very sweet and refreshing :) 10/10 would recommend

A Hidden Gem for Thai Food Lovers! Ocean Deco is an absolute delight — not only is the food full of rich, authentic Thai flavors, but the setting is just as impressive. Every dish we tried was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. Our server Faya was incredibly attentive and friendly, making the whole dining experience even more enjoyable!

Food was great, probably some of the best I've had. Price wasn't two bad for two people and a drink each, 2 apps, and 2 entrés spent about $100 total. The shrimp fresh rolls were so good and the sauce was refreshing and a hint of spice. The plum sauce that came with the shrimp app was amazing. We also tried some classics. The chicken pat Thai and the green curry. The green curry was spicy and was served with a small amount of rice which was perfect and had a good kick to it. The drinks were very good over all and we will be coming back again.

Fantastic new Thai restaurant in Orlando!! The decor is classy, gorgeous; love the ocean theme. I had the special seafood with red curry custard, which was delicious and packed with a lot of seafood. The specialty cocktails are also incredible. Our server Faya was incredible, very politely and helpful.

I’m honestly blown away—every single thing I ordered at the restaurant was a perfect 10/10. I’ll definitely be coming back! Our server, Jojo, was absolutely amazing—so warm, kind, and genuinely hospitable. She made the whole experience unforgettable.

First off, this restaurant is gorgeous! I went during the beginning of dinner service around 4:30 and when I walked through the door I was wowed by the interior. Lots of nice natural sunlight coming through the windows lighting up the inside complementing the light wood and neutral colored interior. Very spacious with plenty indoor and outdoor tables as well as bar seating. I was served by Kay who was very kind and explained the menu very well. He gave me great recommendations and these are the ones I ordered: 1. Keaw wan roti - pan fried roti bread, green curry dipping sauce 2. Yum ta krai salmon - lemongrass salmon salad, Thai chili, mint, onion, lime dressing 3. Hor mak talay - mixed seafood in red curry custard, egg, kaffir line, rhizome, Thai basil, coconut milk Everything was very tasty! Would love to come back with some friends and try more food and drinks and check out their speakeasy Noir as well!

The food was delicious, but the portions were quite small for the price that you are paying. Additionally, some of the dishes, like the tom kha and som tum thai were a bit too sweet. Faya, our server, was very kind and provided excellent service! The service was great and the atmosphere was very beautiful.

This place was a legit 10/10. The dishes were incredible; you can't go wrong with whatever you choose. Jojo was very attentive and kind. I will definitely be coming back.

A great place with great and good food. A friendly-nice ambience makes this place a cozy and comfortable. The cocktails are simple and original creations that combine mango, guava, coco, pineapple and dragon fruit .. Good job. Good curry, overall a good experience. A place to visit several time to explore other plates..

My family and I came here for a few apps and drinks and we really enjoyed it! The space was beautiful and i loved how airy and light it felt. Our server was extremely sweet and quick. We ordered the wings and also the spring rolls. The wings were by far some of the best wings i've ordered someplace in a very long time and i recommend them to anyone coming here! The spring rolls were awesome as well, just wish they were a bit crisper as they seemed a bit softer in the middle of them. i want to come back and try the fried rice for sure!

Delicious Thai food! I haven't really seen thai seafood before so this was a great experience. The dishes definitely seemed more authentic than your usual place. They do have all the classic dishes but the menu is focused around things I don't really see offered: I loved the goong ob woon sen, which was like sweet/salty glass noodles with shrimp -- not overpowering flavors, blended very well... same goes for the the scallops in the red curry, the grilled salmon was great as well. really yummy oysters too. Just writing this review makes me miss the food! The atmosphere is top tier too, really elegant, but comfortable vibe. Secret bar in the back as well!

I ordered the goong ma kam, shrimp with a tamarind sauce for delivery. It was delicious and the portion was good. The service was quick and it definitely left me wanting to go back and try other dishes. I did dine in another time and I was less than impressed. I took a very long time to get the food. The plating looked beautiful but the food was actually pretty bland, which is shocking for Thai food. I got a shrimp dish and the shrimp were big and plump and juicy , but they weren't seasoned at all. It came with a side of sauce but it just didn't work with the dish. Maybe they're more traditional items would taste better? But for the price, I was disappointed in the flavor. I will say the shrimp are nice and big and perfectly cooked. It would just be nice if there was actually a sauce cooked with the dish and not just on the side. I also ordered wings to go and it's basically just plain fried chicken wings, with some sweet-and-sour sauce that could've come out of a jar. I was not impressed. The description of the wings made it sound like they made their own spicy wings but this was not good.

Talay is one of the best Thai spots in town, where you can experience savory, bold, and authentic Thai dishes right in the heart of Orlando. The interiors had a coastal-meets-modern aesthetic that creates a chill, relaxed atmosphere. The design was a 10/10 in my book. My husband and I met up with a friend for an earlier dinner and we were the first ones there when they reopened at 4PM on a Saturday. It wasn't too busy, so we were able to grab a table right away. We started off with a couple of appetizers: the Keaw Wan Roti and Por Pia Tod(vegetable spring rolls). The roti came with a green curry dip that had just the right amount of spice, and the spring rolls were perfectly crispy without being greasy. Of course, I had to get a Thai iced tea. My husband tried the Nothin' but Coconut cocktail, and our friend ordered an Old Fashioned. The coconut cocktail was a bit strong, but the Thai iced tea had just the right amount of sweetness and was very refreshing. Our server was super friendly and attentive--making sure we always had enough water and checking in on us regularly. For our mains, we ordered Beef Pad Thai, Shrimp Pad Thai, and Gaeng Phed Ped Yang(roast duck with red curry). My husband and I shared the Shrimp Pad Thai and roast duck with red curry, and both dishes had balanced flavors that weren't overpowering. The spice level on the curry was just enough to give it a kick while still being enjoyable. For dessert, I have been craving Khao Neaw Ma Muang (mango sticky rice), and it did not disappoint! It had the perfect amount of sweetness and a refreshing finish that totally satisfied my mango craving. We're definitely looking forward to coming back, trying more dishes, and checking our their new speakeasy, Noir Bar.

Orlando-Beautiful aesthetic inside. The restaurant was very clean and inviting. My son is a pad Thai snob so of course that was one of our items! We decided to try the pad see ew as well as their pineapple fried rice. The lunch menu meant we got a small bowl of vegetable soup and an egg roll. The soup was delicious with a hint of spice and sweetness. Our pineapple fried rice with chicken was rich and very tasty. Kind of a Smokey flavor added in too. Pad Thai with chicken was delicious, although too sweet. I'm not a fan of overly sweet dishes and unfortunately the pad see ew was extremely sweet also. Not sure why every dish we had today had too much sweetness to it. I didn't realize Thai food was very sweet. I feel like I've eaten at a few other Thai places and not had this issue. The tiny eggrolls were mush on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Not edible, honestly. Even the Dragonfruit de la Rose drink was way too sweet. I didn't finish the drink. I did pour a little bit of water into it to try to tone it down. lol Overall, our waitress was a gem and very attentive, but the food was a little too sweet for my taste buds.

This restaurant is super cute! The aesthetics are very clean and modern vibes! It's wonderful to catch up with friends, go with family, or go on a lunch date with your colleagues. It's located right next to Reye's and it's very spacious. We ordered the pad Thai, spring rolls, soup and the sea bass. Everything was absolutely delicious and fresh! The flavor in the Seabass took the cake for me today! It was pretty spicy, though. They call it medium, but for me, it was a little more than that! I also had the mango sticky rice drink which was made with rum and delicious. It has a heavy foam on top with a mango purée, almost like a moose. I love the projection of the sea, as you are going to the restroom. The restaurant looked clean and the staff was nice as well. I believe it's going to do great at this location! Will be back soon with friends!

We really enjoyed our first experience at Talay! We went early on Sunday right when they open for dinner at 4pm and we were the only ones in there at that time. Now that we have a baby, we're early dinner people, haha. The new interior is absolutely stunning with lots of natural fluted wood and beige accents. There's a large central bar with table seating around the perimeter and an outdoor patio for dining as well. They were still waiting on their liquor license when we were there last, but they had some beautiful, tasty mocktails to choose from. I got the Honey's Passion and it was so good -- light and refreshing. I'm a sucker for anything with passionfruit in it. For appetizers we started with the keaw wan roti and the por pia pod (veggie spring rolls). We were dining with friends who are mostly vegetarian, so we wanted to get things that were veg friendly for the table. Both dishes were tasty and the green curry sauce that comes with the roti is amazing. I just wish they gave you a few more pieces of roti to soak up all that sauce. The triangles were very thin and small. This was my only gripe through the whole meal. From there, my husband & I decided to share a couple main dishes including the sua rong hai (picanha steak) and the pa nang scallops (medium spicy) which is served with white rice. Both were excellent! The pa nang curry sauce was fabulous with just the right amount of spice and the scallops were cooked perfectly. The steak was also cooked perfectly, medium rare as requested and they give you a very generous portions which is great for sharing. We actually really liked dipping the picanha in the remaining green curry sauce from the roti! Our friends enjoyed the pad see ew and goong ob sen (shrimp with glass noodles). The shrimp were huge and this dish could also easily be shared. I will say that it's a bit more of an upscale Thai restaurant which is reflected in the price, but it was worth it for the quality and nice ambiance. I look forward to returning to try more of their raw seafood dishes and the new speakeasy bar connected to Talay.

My immediate impression is the space. Nice calm Vibe Ultra modern industrial with wood accents. You can hear your conversation. GreatConversation space. Noise level is nice Service- Friendly and will accommodate diet preferences if able. Food is very tasty and seasoned well.

5 Stars for truly delightful seafood-forward Thai food with all the aesthetics and plenty of spice! Ok, so to start please know that this spot is cute. Like, she's real cute. Get your camera phone ready because you're going to want to take photos of the restaurant, you inside the restaurant, and the beautifully plated dishes. The server came up and explained that Talay means sea in Thai and they're specialty is seafood. The menu featured the classics (which you can make vegetarian by choosing tofu or veggies instead of meat or seafood), but it also has some really special dishes that I hadn't seen before. Here were my faves: - Por Pia Tod: Crispy vegetable spring rolls, sweet Thai chili sauce. This dish came with 4 spring rolls and we enjoyed the sauce (which was mild). - Goong Lui Suan: Thai-style shrimp summer rolls, Thai basil, lettuce, julienne carrots, bean sprouts, cilantro, creamy chili-lime sauce. WOW- The herbs really shone here. The chili-lime sauce was pretttty spicy, so I opted to eat it without a sauce. If you prefer things mild, I would ask for this dish with peanut sauce. - Keaw Wan Roti: Pan-fried roti bread, green curry dipping sauce. This sauce was the star of the show. It had us all wanting to dip everything we got in it! (Spicy) - Gai Satay: Thai chicken skewers, curry powder, cucumber salad, peanut sauce. This chicken satay was light years above any satay I've had in Orlando. It was perfectly grilled and the peanut sauce was clearly homemade. A big winner. - Salmon Chae Nam Pla (Raw section): Sliced salmon, salmon roe, mint, cilantro chili-lime dressing. This was delicious, but WOO-EEE, it was spicy. Definitely spicier than a medium, if that's your limit. Loved the mint with the fish and dressing. - Pa Nang Scallops: Seared scallops in Pa Nang curry, kaffir lime, Thai chili, coconut milk. This was a STAR. It's again, more hot than medium in spice level, but the scallops were big and succulent and I could've bathed in the curry sauce. - Pad See Ew: Flat rice noodles, egg, Chinese broccoli, Talay's signature wok sauce. My husband got this with tofu and it was delicious. You could pick the spice level on the Classic section of the menu, but know that medium is much spicier than the mediums you get at other local Thai restaurants. I would err on the safe side with regards to your spice tolerance. Note: The bathrooms are special... I don't want to give away why, but just know that it's a cool experience walking up to them. Finally, they didn't have a liquor license yet when we dined there, so we stuck with sparkling water. If you are open to N/A, they had some great-looking mocktails.

The ambience made me feel as if I was in a special modern new york restaurant the food was top notch and the service even better my server was Faya and she litterly blew me out the park she showed me photos on instagram when i couldn't decide on what to order and litterly every item was five stars but the service was even better!

Came here a few days after they opened for a quick lunch. They had a nice lunch menu and I opted for the plain pad rhai with no protein. It was really delicious and there was a really nice amount. The soup and mini egg roll that came with the pad thai were also delicious. The onlt thing is that the spice level was not as spicy as I would think a true Thai restaurant would be. I love spicy food but could tell they definitely tone it down for the crowd. They had other things on the menu that looked delicious that I would go back to try. They are definitely on the pricier side when it comes to Thai food. The location is great and you can parallel park in front on Orange if you can find a space, if not, just make your way around one block over to Magnolia and parallel park there; there are always so many spots there. Just park and take the 5 minute walk over. The inside is gorgeous and they did a beautiful job building it out. Gives me a kind of moderner minimal middle eastern design.

This place is a hidden gem thus far. It's located in downtown but not much parking around the restaurant so this may be the deterrent for people to come here. But the food is amazing and definitely worth the drive and trouble to search for a parking space. The service is good depending on which server you get. Usually they are very accommodating and hospitable and will adjust any dish as required. And quite honestly, one doesn't have to adjust much of anything as each and everything we tried was simply delicious. The ambiance is clean, cute, modern, and quiet. You can have a business dinner, romantic dinner or family dinner comfortably.

What an amazing experience! Came here with my husband and the moment we walked in, the service was phenomenal. It's a new Thai restaurant located in the North Orange area of Orlando. We ordered the Tom Kha seafood soup, roti and fresh cocktails. BIG thank you to Faya, who took care of us.

This new elevated Thai restaurant @talayorlando sent us all the NOODS!!! The coastal inspired vibe is dim lit with an even more intimate surprise behind a hidden door. You will find the new speakeasy @noirbarorlando which just grand opened last month Our friendly server recommended I try the Dragon fruit de la Rose which is so refreshing and light without being overly sweet. It reminds me of a sophisticated mimosa and this would be the perfect cocktail for brunch as well I tried my girl friends' cocktail which was Oh My Lychee and the lychee foam is so impressively creamy. Must try! I am also coming back for that mango sticky rice cocktail because I bet the mango mousse will taste delectable.. The Vegetable spring rolls were the perfect crunchy fried starters with spicy sweet thai chilli sauce. Now for the NOODS...we ordered the Pad See Ew to share, my favorite Thai noodle dish ever. The flat rice noodles were the best tossed in the signature Talay sauce with medium spice and tofu requested. Safe to say we ate the whole thing! My girl friend got the pad Thai served with thin rice noodles and an interesting twist with the tamarind sauce. I love how many options are given for vegetarians and vegans here...it's truly impressive and my vegan girl friend had no problem finding options. You are able to have tofu as your protein in most any of these noodle and rice dishes Not to mention that most of their noodles are gluten free, my personal preference. I chose the Goong Mae Nam aka grilled jumbo river prawn and I love the way they present this dish! The tower with the prawn underneath and the sauce on top felt so fancy to eat. The meat melted in your mouth and the homemade spicy dipping sauces were so unique and fresh. The entire restaurant + restrooms are ground floor and handicap accessible. My girl friends and I truly enjoyed the welcoming and quiet vibe here as we caught up and shared dinner together. The entire restaurant and bathrooms are ground floor and handicap accessible. We cannot wait to plan a double date here again soon!

Came here for a date night with my wife last week looking to try a new restaurant out. Was totally worth it our overall experience was amazing. The inside of the restaurant was set up very nicely, the ambiance made you feel like you were in Thailand, and the waitstaff were very nice and helpful. We started off with a delicious banana flavored cocktail (I can't remember the name) but it is totally worth ordering. For apps we got the Peek Gai Tod (very crispy and delicious chicken wings) and Keaw Wan Roti (bread with green curry dipping sauce very flavorful with some good spice). Both definitely worth ordering and shareable size. For our main dishes we ordered Sua Rong Hai (pichana steak), Pad See Ew (noodles and we chose tofu), and Goong Prik Kluea (crispy shrimp). All of the main dishes were very good, good portion sizes, and full of flavor. We will definitely be going back to try the other dishes and cocktails they offer. Great place for a family night, date night, or if you enjoy Thai food.

I tried Talay Restaurant today. I think it is the best Thai restaurant in Orlando right now!Plus, where else are you going to get scallop panang curry, thai picanha steak, or oysters with that delicious green sauce?! The restaurant itself is beautiful. They did a great job with the interior design/decor. Service was wonderful. Below I give my impression of all the dishes I tried so far. * Pa Nang Scallops (Seared scallops in Pa Nang curry, kaffir lime, Thai chili, coconut milk): Get it! You can't go wrong. The curry is so flavorful. It was a hit among my lunch party. * Keaw Wan Roti (Pan-fried roti bread, green curry dipping sauce): You have to get this at least once. The green curry dipping sauce is packed with flavor. I actually wish the regular green curry dish was more like this dipping sauce. This is thicker and has a stronger flavor. * Sua Rong Hai (House-marinated picanha, roasted chili relish): the sauce/relish is what makes this so good. Pairs very well with the steak. * Kor Moo Yang (House-marinated pork jowl, roasted chili relish): same sauce that comes with the Sua Rong Hai but the pork isn't as good as the picanha. * Oysters (Blue Point oysters, Talay's mignonette, golden crisp shallots, lemon): the spicy green sauce that comes with these oysters is SO good. * Pad Kee Mow (Flat rice noodles, bell peppers, Thai basil, chili, Talay's spicy wok sauce): good flavor and texture! I recommend it. * Tum Khao Pode (Sweet corn salad, Thai chili, garlic, tomato, peanut, lime dressing): I love corn so I had to try this. It's refreshing and I liked it but I think other dishes are probably more worthwhile. * Keaw Wan Gai (White meat chicken in green curry, bamboo shoots, bell peppers, Thai basil, coconut milk): this is not as good as the panang curry because it had a more subtle flavor. I prefer the green curry from Sea Thai. Also, I was disappointed that they use that processed chicken like most Thai restaurants do. They won't even give you the option to substitute it for a different protein. I would think this kind of higher end restaurant would have better quality chicken in their dishes. * Jasmine rice: I just have to note that they give you one bowl of with the curry but it obviously requires more rice. They charge you 4 dollars for each small bowl of rice. This may not be unusual for restaurants but I find it a little ridiculous how restaurants give you way too little rice and then want to nickel and dime you. Rice is not that expensive.

Went Saturday night at 6; it's their soft opening, so I expected some hiccups. There were none; it was perfect. The service was great! Very helpful in alerting one member of our party to foods that would have shellfish so she could avoid them (allergy). Food came out of the kitchen as it was finished being plated, so it was at the perfect temperature. The food was really delicious. I wanted to try a bunch of things, and I did. There's no liquor or beer/wine license yet, so I had a mocktail, a diet coke and a thai tea for drinks (the mocktail was as delicious as it was beautiful). For food, I ordered the crispy vegetable spring rolls (Por Pia Tod), the sweet corn salad (Tum Khao Pode), the house picanha (Sua Rong Hai), the fried snapper filet (Pla Tod Yum Ma Muang), and the chewy taro balls (Bua Loy Ma Praw On). The snapper with the mango, cashews, red onion, radish and lime dressing was my favorite dish. It's really spacious with an ample bar area. It's easy to have a conversation there because it's not too loud. The porch area looks absolutely lovely, and will be so nice in warmer weather. And I don't care if you have to go to the bathroom or not, you gotta go look at the floor. I will absolutely be back. Soon. Make your way there before the constant crowds come along.

The restaurant's website claims "urban sophistication meets Thai coastal allure" and it delivers. The sophistication shows in the stylish décor and the artful presentation of each dish. Salmon curry isn't traditionally common in Thailand (salmon isn't native to Thai waters), and it was the first time I saw it on a menu. So I had to try their red curry salmon, Gaeng Dang Salmon. The perfectly grilled salmon was bathed in a rich red curry, with tender bamboo shoots, bell peppers, Thai basil, and creamy coconut milk. It was lovely! The jasmine rice was slightly too sticky for my taste, with grains that were smaller than I prefer, but overall the dish deserves 5 stars. I am, however, awarding Talay 4 stars due to slightly inattentive service. While the server was respectful and friendly, she disappeared twice, and we had to call her to the table the two times because she wasn't checking on us at all. Maybe we got unlucky and I will definitely come back to try their "Thai" picanha and Sea Bass.

Located in the North Quarter of downtown this place is grown and sophisticated. I came after work right as they opened and was able to enjoy some appetizers and a drink. I'm excited about returning for a meal soon. The atmosphere is Mediterranean and took me outside of the congested outside of Downtown Orlando. The servers greeted me as soon as I entered and even offered suggestions. This was a stop on my way to Noir- the speak easy located inside of this establishment, but I plan on frequenting Talay. First impressions are everything and they did a great job!

Beautifully decorated and SO aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. Perfect place to go on a date or fancy dinner with friends or family. We opt to sit outside. Of all the things we ordered. Pad kee mow was a bit salty according to my friend because she ordered it. I got pad Thai and it was up to par. Not THE BEST I've had but it's pretty good. My favorite was the raw spicy shrimp. Service was good! She was polite and attentive. Overall, a good experience

Amazing vibes, very cool atmosphere and Faya is amazing! Food and service were good however not even 10 minutes after paying our bill a different server came around and asked us to leave. There was no time limit on our reservation and we were not there very long so I felt it was quite rude. If we had been there talking for 30+ minutes after paying then I would understand but they had just ran our cards and then hurried out of our table.

Thai is my favorite cuisine. I was excited to experience Talay during its soft opening. Nam was our tour guide and she was wonderful in getting us to try new things. Talay gives a slightly different experience in some of their dishes. For example, the typical summer rolls look the same and come with a sweet peanut sauce. Not at Talay. Their summer rolls called Goong Lui Suan look like works of art and come with a spicy citrus cilantro sauce and it worked! I had to try the Pad Thai even though there were other dishes that sounded amazing. My test for a good that restaurant is whether they can make amazing pad Thai and pad see ew. Thankfully my son ordered the see ew so I could try both. AMAZING! Now it will be hard to try something different, but I am determined to try one of their hot pots. In addition they have Yum Woon Sen Talay which perks my curiosity because there is only one place that makes yum woon sen (off menu) that calls my name weekly at Siam Garden in Winter Park. Talay's version sounds similar yet very different. I will put it on my to try list. I highly recommend Talay. The atmosphere is upscale. They were still waiting for their liquor license so I expect they have plans for some unique cocktails. The bathrooms are an experience with the ebb and flow of the ocean seeping in from under the walls. Talay is an upscale Thai experience that you will want discover.

I love this place. The food is amazing, the service is outstanding and the place looks great. I had lunch here two days in a row because I wanted to try different dishes. It's probably my favorite Thai restaurant in the Orlando area.

Heyyyyyyy you guyyyyyssssss! The aesthetic is insane here, they have neutral vibes so the focus is on the good eats! We sat at the bar. Emmy was our bartender and mixologist extraordinaire. What an experience the flavors were a dance party in our mouth and that was the cocktails. We snagged a few appetizers that were fresh, flavorful and super delicious. What a great addition to this side of town. Perfect for date night, hanging with the girls, they have outdoor seating as well. And a speak easy which was so cute and fun! Happy hour coming soon as well. Hurry in guys this place is amazing!

If you're in downtown Orlando and looking for something fun and different, you have to check out Talay The whole place has beach vibes, coastal decor with a modern twist. The food Totally authentic Thai but the presentation is super cool and Instagram worthy. Each dish looks like art but still tastes like home (if your home was in Thailand :3 They've also got a really unique drink menu. Every drink has a creative twist but you can still taste the Thai flavors in there. Loved the attention to detail. The staff are super friendly and make you feel like you're just hanging out with friends. But here's the real surprise if you walk toward the restroom you'll notice a hidden door and it's a secret bar. The vibe inside is completely different moody,cozy and totally unexpected. Definitely worth checking out. Overall, Talay is one of those places you just have to experience for yourself. Highly recommend

My husband and I went last weekend and had a great time. The atmosphere was really nice, and the food was delicious! We tried the half dozen oysters, grilled picanha (Sua Rong Hai), and the creamy calamari and shrimp stir fry (Goong Muk Karee). Each dish had such fresh and vibrant flavors. Definitely looking forward to coming back!

I was not expecting this chic outdoor dining experience in the bustle of downtown Orlando but there it is! The food came at a break neck pace. And was DELICIOUS and HOT (love hot food). I'm a chronic friend food taster and this night was no exception. Everything was marvelous. The staff was gracious and accommodating of my girls dinner even despite our staggered arrivals. I cannot WAIT to return!

We had a wonderful time at Talay. The chicken pad Thai was amazing. The spring rolls were probably the best I've had. Our server was very patient and kind, great service! Beautiful restaurant to visit for lunch or happy hour.

Great aesthetic, open and airy interior. I didn't realize how seafood could really take Thai food to another level. The food was INCREDIBLE. Hands down you must get the Oysters to share then the Panang Scallops for yourself. Everything is so fresh and even though I'm not huge on spice make sure to indulge in all the sauces! The mocktails were delicious, can't wait to see what they do with a real drink list!

Talay is a cozy, modern restaurant serving traditional Thai dishes. For appetizers, we ordered the roti (the sauce was very spicy) and the Tod Mun Goong (shrimp cakes) which was tasty. They were ok. For our entrees, we tried crab fried rice and that was delicious along with Pad Thai, which tasted as you would expect. It was slightly sweet, not spicy at all. Overall, it was nice to try something new!

An astonishing story and experience from the creators of Isan Zaap. I felt like I was truly by the seaside enjoying some of the best seafood I've had in what feels like forever. Between different dishes we had - each were packed with flavor, from the enticing aromas to the tender proteins - I recommend trying a little bit of everything. Even their zero-proof beverages were mouthwatering. Ok but what made this whole experience next level - the ambiance, absolutely stunning and tranquil and it has a SCENT. Like a hotel would have a signature scent??? Mind blown. Loved every second of my experience, needing to go try everything. The service was spectacular, so kind and great recommendations.

Amazing food,service, & ambiance. We had the roti, oysters, salmon, coconut curry seafood, & wide rice noodles.. soo good! Not one complaint. Our waitress JoJo was amazing. Will definitely be back.

Please please please do yourself a favor and come eat here. I can't even recommend one dish everything was so amazing. Service was top notch. Such a cute vibe drinks amazing food is so delicate and fresh..plus a nightcap at the speakeasy just elevates the whole experience. Amazing!!

I'm so glad Orlando is getting more authentic Thai restaurant and this one is so special as it's specialized in seafood dishes. My favorite is Goong Mae Nam which is Jumbo River Prawn. It comes with spicy sauces that is so yummy. And if you haven't had it before, it tastes like lobster but better! Fried Rice with Crab Meat is also authentic. Super tasty! Shrimp Cakes are crispy and fresh. Tom Yum is a little too sweet and I wish they could make it as spicy as I ordered but you can always ask for more spice on the side. Mango and Sticky Rice here is probably the best you can find in Orlando. Ice Cream doesn't taste like coconut for me so I could pass next time. Overall, it was very amazing. Service is so nice. Ambiance is also awesome. I truly love the vibe there.

Everything was amazing cannot wait to go to back. Best roti in Orlando ! Everything was fresh and the service was so nice, polite, and accommodating.

Ambiance -A Service -A Food -c+ We had party of 8 so ordered many different dishes . Food taste C+. Not nearly as good an other Thai /asian restaurants nearby . If taste is your main concern Other places are much better

This is relatively new, near the corner of Orange Ave and 50. We enjoyed the contemporary decor and ambience. We loved the drinks and Thai food here. The cocktails were delicious. The seafood tower, as our children called, looked and tasted great, especially the grilled squid. Both Mango and Sticky Rice and Taro Sweet were superb for desserts. A little pricy for the value, but delicious.

Had a reservation for a group of 6 at 7 pm. They don't seat partial parties. Everyone was there by 7:15. We weren't seated until nearly 8 pm. I had to ask for our first round of drinks to be comped. The food was really good, but the temperature in the restaurant was so hot that it was honestly uncomfortable. We finally got some relief when we went to Noir, but even then it took an exorbitant amount of time to order and receive 1 drink. I know that this place is new and ironing out some kinks, but waiting 45 minutes for a reservation and having to ask for something to be comped on top of sweating due to the heat inside was not the experience I had hoped for on my birthday.

We really enjoyed our dinner here. We started with a round of cocktails - Be a Pineapple and Banana Bourbon Barrel were favorites. We ordered starters next: Peek Gai Tod (chicken wings), Goong Lui Suan (shrimp summer rolls), and Por Pia Tod (crispy spring rolls) - all very good! Entrees we ordered included Pa Nang Scallops, Khao Pad Pu (crab friend rice), and Sua Rong Hai (ribeye). Too full for dessert! Everything was delicious, and the restaurant interior and patio are well designed. We'll be back.

Love the ambiance and decor, Food was fantastic, the Coconut entree is a must. Drinks are sexy and fantastic. Service was fantastic. Nice addition to Downtown. Highly recommend.

We got the 6 oysters, green curry naan appetizer, the sea bass, seafood pad kee mao. Everything was delicious. The vinaigrette that came with the oysters was spicy and so so good. I've never had that kind of vinaigrette. The oysters are probably Atlantic though and a little frighteningly big. The green curry naan was delicious but very small portion for the price. The sea bass. The broth it came in was divine. The portion was huge. The price WORTH IT. The pad kee mao came with three giant shrimp, crab meat, soft and nicely cooked squid and three giant green mussels. Was very good. Food was all excellent. Service was spotty in the very beginning and also at the end. When we asked for the check and put the card down we ended up having to walk the check up or risk waiting for even longer than we had been. Ambiance was great for a wonderful date night

Food was the best Thai food I ever had in my life. The atmosphere and interior were very nice. Waitresses were not paying attention as much as they should have to the customers, never checked the table though one was just taking an order at the right next table. We ordered one desert hoping to be served with several spoons. The waiter brought none so I requested. He came back with one as I was betting to my friend. Food did not come at the same time but over all, I would still come back since the food was so good!

Portions are a bit small for price but overall the food was delicious, good service, and the ambiance is nice and clean.

Great all the way. The location, decor, and vibe are above average. The Red Curry with Scallops was close to the best red curry I've had. Service was friendly, fast, and competent. Must try!

Talay just recently opened down the street from my apartment and it's safe to say I'm already obsessed! The servers are so sweet and friendly, and super accommodating. The interior is absolutely beautiful, I feel like I'm staying at a modern resort by the sea! And the food is delicious. I got the Pad Thai my first time going, and went back for takeout very soon after for the Pad Kra Pow. both excellent!!

This is elevated Thai food at its best! Talay opened on January 21, 2025. It has instantly become one of Orlando's finest Thai restaurants! Talay is the Thai word for sea. The large menu is seafood-focused, but they have Thai classics and creative Thai specialties that are not easily found in Orlando. I highly recommend the Hor Mok Talay, Pla Nueng Ma Now, Keaw Wan Roti, Goong Mae Nam, Peek Gai Tod, Som Tum Thai, Tum Khao Pode, I Tim Boran, Pomelicious Mocktail, Honey's Passion Mocktail, and Wonderpop Mocktail The food was spectacular, the restaurant is beautiful, and our servers were super friendly. The entire Thai front of the house team is warm and welcoming. One highlight was the floor leading to the bathrooms and Noir. The floor is made to feel like a wave moving across the floor (video in photos). The owners of Talay also own Isan Zaap Thai Café, Thai Super Bowl, Charm Thai and Sushi, and Noir Bar (coming soon). Highly recommend!

Really really yummy food! Our server was Jojo and she was very helpful and informative about what was good! The vibes here were really chill. Definitely would recommend and would come back!
