Dali's Lao Thai Cafe - Sanford

I?m really happy to have found this place! The goodness in the eyes of the man who gave me my food speaks volumes about the heart and care they put into their business. This delicious Spring Roll is packed with healthy goodness. I can?t wait until I can come back and try more things!!

Dali?s Lao Thai Cafe does not miss! My fiancé and I have been coming here since just around the time they opened (surprised I forgot to add a review earlier). There is nothing better than supporting a small business that fills our hearts and our stomachs like Dali?s. Flavor profiles are immaculate and portion sizes are generous.

The drunken noodles had no sauce, it was dry and bland. Chicken Satay was also dry, the peanut dipping sauce was in a portion cup that had a teaspoon of sauce. The A/C was on 86°. It felt cooler outside than inside. we are in the middle of summer! The portions of drunken noodles were plentiful but the chicken satay was quite small with 3 small chicken strips. The speed of service was average. Friendly staff. Place was clean. But hot and smokey inside.

I was in Florida visiting my family and wanted to try this place. From the outside it just looked like a regular takeout joint, but when you walk in, you smell the aromas and and see the magic happening in the kitchen! The place is family owned. I ordered the Lad Na and the flavors this plate had took me to a place of food wonders. It was amazing, the best Lad Na I have ever tasted. My wife and I have been to many Thai restaurants, but nothing like this one. We then ordered the Mango and sticky rice and this was wonderful. The rice was a dark purple and so delicious with big chunks of mango, they sure did not skimp on the portions at all. If you?re looking for a Thai place that cooks like they are cooking for their own family, you need to try this place. Grandma and grandpa and the rest of the family will take you places you?ve never been before with flavors that are out of this world.

Ok, so I saw all these great reviews and finally tried the food here. I eat at a LOT of places. I must say, I am not a fan. I don't get the high rating and rave reviews. It is good, but definitely not great. No offense to the owner. But this is very average food.
