More than just Pad Thai and Thai curry, Thai cuisine stands out as one of the most flavorful and aesthetically pleasing styles of cooking out there. It’s a food that emphasizes aroma and spices, as well as varied color when it comes to presentation.
Over the course of the last 15 years, there has been an explosion in the popularity of Thai cuisine, and for good reason.
Not only does Columbus have an amazing scene for international cuisine, we also have any number of Thai kitchens and restaurants for the choosing. Here are just a handful of Thai restaurants in Central Ohio, but they’re definitely some of the best around.
Bangkok Grocery & Restaurant
Bangkok Grocery & Restaurant is your one-stop shop for imported goods, groceries, and a soothing Thai meal. They even offer services like jewelry repair. You’ll have to save this one for the end of your “to try” list, as they are closed until February 21, 2023 for a storewide vacation.
