Ayuttaya Thai Cuisine has been offering Ocala residents a chance to experience authentic Thai food in a classic setting for two decades.
The restaurant, which derives its name from the Ayutthaya Kingdom that ruled over 250 years ago, is located at 2437 SW 27th Ave, near KeKe’s Breakfast Cafe and Staples. According to corporate records filed with the state of Florida, the restaurant was established in 1999.
The restaurant has enjoyed success at its location and owes that in large part to the large variety of food choices it offers to diners. The menu is extensive to say the least, featuring a plethora of appetizers, soups, and rice and noodle dishes, in addition to curries, entrees and classic specials.
Classic appetizers include spring rolls, crispy tofu, fried wontons, and crispy noodles (mee krob). The restaurant offers a variety of traditional soups made from scratch, including Tom Kha Gai, which is made with coconut milk, muhsrooms, chicken, and Thai soup stock.
Ayuttaya also boasts a variety of specials that are available daily, including sweet and sour duck and soft shell crab fried rice, among others.
Speciality drinks like thai iced tea and iced coffee are also favorites among diners.
