This family-owned restaurant opened about 14 months ago and they are rockin’ it! Who opens a restaurant during a pandemic? Very gutsy! Many Southampton patrons came initially just to support this new business, but now return regularly for the fresh, flavorful food. Lim Ros Thai is located near Columbus Parkway and Rose Drive, next to Starbucks. At the time of this review, they are providing carry out and delivery service only, but anticipating the opening of their lovely indoor dining space. The extensive menu offers a wide variety of tastiness and inspiration. Takeout is easy by phone or through the website. Everybody’s talking about the Pineapple Fried Rice—a favorite for old and young alike. Pad Thai, Crispy Rolls, Fried Rice Crab Omelet and Pumpkin Curry are also very popular. Check out the menu and choose your favorites! Gracie especially recommends the amazing Dancing Fish—Crispy white fish coated with homemade garlic sauce, crispy shallots and sesame seeds served with turmeric rice. The rice alone is worth a return visit. You can’t go wrong with the steamed fresh vegetables, or the Som Tum salad—shredded green papaya with spices, vegetables, garlic, peanuts and lime dressing. So far, I’ve been unable to leave here without an order of the Tom Kha soup—that coconut milk with lime, lemongrass, more spices and vegetables always makes me happy. Oh, wait, and then there’s the Crab Rangoon….gorgeous. Give your taste buds a treat to celebrate the New Year!
