Taste of Thai Fusion is a hidden treasure for anyone looking to explore the authentic flavors of Thailand with a twist. Whether you're a Thai food connoisseur or a first-timer, this spot is sure to impress. The staff is attentive and friendly, offering excellent recommendations based on personal preferences. We tried the Caribbean Chicken, Bangkok Chicken, Thai Spicy Cauliflower, Egg-rolls and a side of Rice. All were excellent. Ordered the Thai Tea and it was one of the best on the peninsula. We look forward to returning and trying more of their menu.

Taste of Thai has been our favorite Thai restaurant in town. We are glad that they reopened this including fusion into it. As usual the foods are great, we always order the Tom yan soup which is a must always when visiting, the Thai tea today was excellent, the orange chicken tofu is mouth watering, the house fried rice is always on point. We ordered different things but unfortunately I didn't took a picture of them. Hong our server was awesome and very attentive to our every need, she made sure everything is good. Freddy one of the owners (who was with Yang Tse) went out to say hello to us and they gave us free desserts and soup. The place is quiet and clean. It's always a great time dining here. Exceptional service.
