Jacksonville can take you from dark, rich boat noodles in Five Points to northern Thai khao soi at the beach, crispy duck on Baymeadows Road or a Thai and Lao menu in Arlington. Start with the meal you want, then open the restaurant page before you go.
Go beyond the usual pad Thai order
SENYAI puts boat noodles and Thai street food in the middle of Five Points. Pinto Thai Bistro at Jacksonville Beach lists khao soi with chicken or crispy duck. Thai & Lao Bistro brings Lao dishes into the choice, while Komsan Thai Kitchen serves from the food court inside RD International Market.
If curry is the craving, Noom Thai Bistro calls its green curry a family recipe. Thai Green House names slow-simmered green and panang curries among its specialties.
Make the room part of the night
Blue Orchid Riverside has a patio with a koi pond and waterfall. Indochine Downtown sits upstairs in a 1910 building with tables and booths built by co-owner Mark Salter. The original Blue Orchid on Atlantic Boulevard is the other polished dinner choice in that family.
At the beach, Buddha Thai Bistro has served Jacksonville Beach since 2010. On King Street, Pattaya Thai carries a local family story that began with a small Asian food store in 1989.

Two familiar names are gone
Taste of Thai closed after building damage shut its University Boulevard home in 2024. Lil' Thai Place stopped restaurant service at the end of 2025. Their pages stay live so an old recommendation does not send you to a dark door.
This guide is not a ranking, and nobody paid to be included. We checked each open restaurant against its current owner site, owner social page, ordering page or public business record. Hours still change, so open the restaurant page and its official site before making the drive.
