Thai by Thai PERMANENTLY CLOSED

What happened to this restaurant? We ate there 6-7 times over the course of a year and the food was delicious. Then we did not have the chance to go for a few months and we went back only 2 times and experienced awful food both times...we thought the first time was an off night given our prior good experiences...not so. This is a shame. Thai food is wonderful and these people are capable of better. Are they sacrificing taste and quality to compete at a low price point given the stiff competition of Lucky Buffet and the nearby Japanese restaurant?

Bland:
Dull and insipid: a bland little drama.
Having little or no distinctive flavor: bland cooking.

Terrible, terrible, absolutely terrible. If you enjoy a really long wait for some very tasteless food (huge portions of tasteless food)then stop by. I'll not be back.

Claiming this fare is authentic Thai is a cruel hoax. If you like monster portions of very overpriced truly flavorless food,then this is for you - enjoy!!

As an Asian American accustomed to authentic Thai food, I understand tastes and expectations vary widely in the US. I lived in Washington, DC most of my life and we have seen many good and bad thai restaurants. Here's how I view Thai by Thai. First, service was quite friendly & family oriented which I appreciate. We felt our needs were met instantaneously. The food was less than desireable. Poor or absent flavor was a consistent problem. Good Thai food almost has has fish sauce, ginger, and other spices. None here.

Pad Thai, a staple in most Thai restaurants is always a good indicator of quality. It was awful. Not even close.
The spring rolls were white, weird, and taste like, well nothing.

We were dissapointed since we are moving to Palm Coast and look forward to finding better Thai food, or perhaps they will read this email and smell the spices.

I adore this restaraunt. I have tried several different dishes and have been pleased with each one. The service is great and the decor is tranquil and pleasant.

Food is very good, most items are spicy. Highly recommend purchasing during lunchtime as dinner prices are very high compared to other thai restaurants we've ordered from of course this is the only thai restaurant currently in Palm Coast.

My family and I finally tried some takeout from this restaurant. We tried several different dishes but we really didn't care for the food very much. And it is a bit on the expensive side. A real dissapointment. Not like the hot, spicy Thai food we were used to in Los Angeles.

Kind of makes you wonder what the patron who thought the food here was "terribly disapointing", was expecting, or is used to. Of course, taste is a matter of personal preference. My own opinion is that the ambiance/decor is neat but not fancy, a 7 out of ten. The waitress, a 5 out of ten. The server/owner an 8 out of ten. The food, a 7 out of ten, and the prices reasonable. I recommemend this restaurant...it's not the best, but it's pretty good, AND there aren't any very good Thai places near by. Cheers!

My husband and I love this restuarant. It is Palm coast's best kept secret

Have dined at Thai by Thai on several occasions and always found the food to be authentic with the flavors characteristic of traditional Thai cuisine. Service was excellent. Highly recommended.

Quality is horrible. Service is OK to good. The food is terribly disappointing. A waste of money.

This is a great restaurant. My wife and I dined there recently. We had the green curry chicken and the Pad Thai. Really a good meal. The whole dining experience was fantastic. Enjoyed a nice conversation with the owner. Easily a very nice place to eat in the area. Definitely we'll be back. Well done.

Wonderful experience all round - food, service, ambience.

I tried the Thai food in the city before, but this one doesn't seem so authentic. Maybe I was too picky or maybe people in Palm Coast didn't know the real Thai food at all. I didn't like the waitress there. She didn't have any smile at all. But the server was nice and smile all the times. That should give them some stars.

I really love this restaurant and all of the food that I've had there has been top notch. The only drawback is that they can't seem to get spicy, medium, and mild straight--what's mild on one visit will be spicy the next, etc. But they are more than willing to fix your dish or give you something more to your liking.

I recently had the delight of dining at Thai by Thai. As a resident of Washington DC, I am very familiar with Thai cuisine due to the abundance of Thai restaurants in the city. Thai by Thai not only offers authentic Thai dishes, but does so in the true Thai fashion of friendliness and with the all familiar "smile" which is rarely found in big cities. The owner, Eed, and his wait staff made me feel most welcome, and served a truly enjoyable green curry chicken (the like of which I have not had for quite a while). Also, so nice to dine on fine celadon plates and bowls. They certainly enhance an already fabulous meal. Amazing to find such a wonderful experience as Thai by Thai in Palm Coast. I'll definitely return when I visit my friends in Palm Coast again.

Excellent food and service. A nice quiet place dine

Excellent food and service, place is clean and nice ambience, generous portions. I recommend it highly.
