Tee-Jay Thai Sushi

The original Tee-Jay Thai Sushi is located on Federal Highway in Fort Lauderdale; this Wilton Manors location is the restaurantâ??s second outpost. Decor is clean, minimalist, and Asian; the peaceful setting is then jolted to life with techno music pumping through the speakers. The menu is vast but consists mostly of hot Thai dishes such […]

Tel Aviv Restaurant

Yes, it’s your neighborhood strip-mall falafel shop, a humble abode with posters of Tel Aviv on the walls and fresh Middle Eastern fare on the menu. Full dinners are available, including lamb chops, whole fish, and T-bone steak, but Tel Aviv is most satisfying as a soup, sandwich, and salad-bar experience. A mild-mannered homemade split-pea […]

Temple Street Eatery

Fast-casual Temple Street Eatery serves modern Asian fare at reasonable prices. The Asian-American comfort food items here are unique — a blend of Asian techniques and ingredients with western dishes. The kimchee quesadillas are a perfect example. Lemongrass grilled chicken is mixed with kimchi, caramelized onion, cheddar jack, gochujang (a pungent Korean condiment) cream, guacamole, […]

Tequila Ranch

You may not want to return to the scene of the crime that involved a bucket’s worth of Coronas and one too many rides on a mechanical bull, but if you can brave it, you’ll be rewarded with standout Mexican fare for lunch, dinner or late-night dining. Try a plateful of salsa-covered scrambled eggs atop […]

Tequila Sunrise Mexican Grill

Unless they’re tiny taco stands, Mexican restaurants are hit-or-miss down here. Tequila Sunrise is almost always a big hit, and the fact that you can get 50 tequilas plus Dos Equis amber on tap (!) is part of the reason. Multiply those factors by the number of margaritas available and you risk the serious possibility […]

Thai Bayshore

The proprietors of Thai Bayshore, from Bangkok, have been operating Thai restaurants locally for almost a decade, but they moved to their current location a few years ago. Husband Pat Siri runs the front of the house and helps in the kitchen; his wife, Nida, cooks; a daughter occasionally waits tables. The Siris have decorated […]

Thai Me Up

Locals love Galanga, as much for the beauty of the space and the occasionally wild scene as for its Thai and Japanese food, which can be uneven. But Galanga is worth a visit for its heady atmosphere and terrific décor — a gigantic saltwater fish tank, serene blue mood lighting, carved wooden screens, high beamed […]

Thai on the Beach

A spot-on Thai eatery that requires you to look in all directions: Up, so you can find it on the second floor (over Primanti Brothers Pizza & Grill); out, so you can gaze at the unexpectedly stunning view of the Atlantic Ocean from the restaurant’s multitude of bay windows; and down, so you can appreciate […]

Thai Spice

An elegant, longstanding local favorite, beautifully appointed with aquariums and Asian art, Thai Spice deserves the crowds that pack it nightly. So make a reservation; this place gets as busy as the streets of Bangkok. All entrées, from red curry chicken to scallops basil, can be served safe-and-sound mild or burn-a-hole-in-your-tongue spicy. Terrific. Seasonal house […]

The Manor Complex

Located in the heart of Wilton Manors, this multilevel, medieval-themed megaclub is the place to hit for a long night of dancing, bass-thumping music, and leaving with a bit of body glitter on your skin. Dripping in crystals and filled with cherubs, swirling wallpaper, and pulsating LED lights, the Manor could pass for the Queen […]

The Salad Bowl

Don’t let the name fool you into thinking all you can get here is a tossed salad with a side of salad. No. In fact, the family-owned, downtown Fort Lauderdale eatery features a cafe fusion menu with breakfast items, sandwiches, burgers, and Latin dishes, all of which are a far toss up from a salad. […]
