Milford, Connecticut has its very own sliver of heaven called “Taste Of Thai.”

Taste of Thai is located in downtown Milford. This restaurant is the first authentic Thai restaurant in Milford and was established in 2012.

The Taste of Thai has a truly welcoming atmosphere and extraordinary food luring tourists and citizens of Milford to attend.

One positive aspect of the restaurant is, of course, the food. Every dish is thoroughly enjoyable. There is a variety of meals to choose from. Their selection varies from sweet to spicy to salty. They are all equally phenomenal. Some of the most notable dishes are the pad thai, drunken noodles, T.O.T fried rice (Taste of Thai fried rice) and wild boar basil. Taste of Thai food doesn’t contain Monosodium glutamate or MSG. This is a flavor enhancer often added to Asian meals, canned vegetables, processed meats, and soups. Typically, the FDA requires that the use of Monosodium glutamate should be listed on the label of any menu or label. This additive is known to cause asthma headaches or even brain damage.

The food is not the only remarkable thing of Taste of Thai. The service is tremendous. It is guaranteed that each customer will be served with a smile. Their service could often be compared to the reputation of Thailand the “Land of Smile.” The skilled and considerate staff are accommodating to their customers. Their goal is for everyone to enjoy their dining experience

The menu has a large variety for any type of diet. They tend to vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters. Some of their vegetarian options include spicy eggplant and T.O.T garden (Taste of Thai Garden). Their meat lover options include panang nuah, salmon teriyaki, and poo pong gari. Some vegan choices are som tum and garden salad.

Taste of Thai is incomparable to any other restaurant. It has a very authentic feel and creates memorable experiences.

The only downside of Taste of Thai is that on the weekdays its hours are cut short compared to the weekend. During the week, it opens at 11:30 a.m. and closes at 2:30 p.m. It then reopens at 4:30 p.m. and closes at 9:30 p.m. On the weekends, it opens at 12:00 p.m. and closes at 9:30 p.m. Many customers would agree a few extra hours during the week wouldn’t hurt.

Overall, a meal from Taste of Thai could put a smile on anyone’s face.
