Soooo delicious! Make sure you go and enjoy! The chef is the owner and she is legit and makes sure all the food is cooked to perfection and prepared so well and consistent! We have been here 3 times already in the last month! The staff is friendly and welcoming! We have tried almost all the Thai restaurants in the area and this one is the best by far! I hope they are around for a long time so everyone can keep enjoying this authentic special delicious thai food!

Everything about Thai Chiang Rai is truly exceptional! The best Thai food I have tried, and I live in Ft. Walton Beach which is known for its plethora of Thai cuisine. Crab Rangoon is so much better than anywhere, I didn’t even realize I liked it until I tried it here! The prices are a bit higher than average, but it’s completely worth it. Every time I’ve visited, the food has been consistently high quality. Fresh and delicious. They do not cut corners with anything. Obviously the owner has tremendous pride in her food, and this restaurant is her masterpiece! Trust me and go try it, you won’t regret it. And I can’t leave out how gracious and accommodating the servers are! They will always treat the guests with kindness and respect. Also the servers know how to cook the food so they are very knowledgeable. Please go.

The service was excellent. I love red curry but this one was not as good as other places. The seafood was good and fresh.

Amazing place! It’s so pretty and the environment is very friendly! I ordered to-go and the packaging of it was the best I’ve seen and everything turned out amazing!

This was an unexpected surprise. The food was so flavorful and the spice level is authentic! The portions are big so definitely shareable. The restaurant atmosphere is beautiful. The staff is very sweet and friendly. Highly recommend the food here.

Food was hot, flavorful and well prepared. We got Chicken Pad Thai noodles and it was the absolute best Pad Thai we have EVER had. The pork fried spring rolls were delicious as well. Owner is friendly & service was quick. We got our order to go so I can’t review the atmosphere except to say my husband said it was a very clean & nice restaurant.
