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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
