Thai dishes are known for their complex taste profiles that combine sweet, sour, salty, and spicy elements in perfect proportions. Each dish is a symphony of flavors that dance on your palate, creating an explosion of taste sensations.

Thai cuisine is renowned for its incredible balance of flavors, combining the perfect blend of sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and spicy tastes. At Thai Luang Restaurant in Herndon, we're excited to take you on a culinary journey through the five essential flavors that make Thai food so extraordinary.

The delicious variety of Thai cuisine and its world-acclaimed street food includes stir-fries and salads, curries and soups, and noodles and stir-fries. Spicy and bold, yet well-balanced, Thai food is recognisable from the first bite because: It has zesty, zingy flavours such as: lemongrass, chili, lime and mint.

The sweet taste that you may notice in Thai food is primarily from palm or cane sugar and coconut milk. This sweetness not only acts as a tasty counterpart to chili heat but it's also deeply rooted in Thai culture and history.
