Thai Blossom, Winter Garden

On Sunday I had lunch at this Thai restaurant on W. Plant St adjacent to the Edgewater Hotel. I had a Silver Noodle Soup for $4.50 and a Beef Salad for $10. Both were good. I'm not sure that Silver Noodle Soup is Thai (they had alot of dishes I would characterize as Asian rather than Thai). It had a nice chicken stock, vegetables, chicken and a shrimp. The beef salad came in a bowl fashioned out of a head of lettuce. It had more onions than anyone would require, but, the beef was amazingly tender. The sauce was a bit mild (more refined) at the medium level. The place is large (high ceilings). It looks like it could have been an old North Eastern Fish House at some point. They have ten booths of four in the front that are a bit rickety. You will feel it if your neighbor is fidgety. In between and going backwards, there are about 20 four tops. The decor is Thai. The building is a bit worn. The ceiling is exposed air ducts and wiring. They have windows on one side of the building and in the front. The service was fast. A little Asian curtness and aloofness. The place was about 1/3rd full. The crowd was mostly white. A good place, but alone not a destination. The Winter Garden village should be the draw if you go.
