Things to do in Melbourne
1. Thai Hana

My first impression of Thai Hana was the ladiesâ room...impeccable! Getting back to my table, I enjoyed one of my favorite dishes, Drunken Noodle, but was surprised that the noodles were only half the width of what is usually served. No matter. The dish was tasty, and less spicy than other Thai restaurants I have visited lately. My spouse really enjoyed the Massaman curry. The staff were very nice, very cheerful, very good at service. Good place.

Best Sushi and Great Service in Brevard.

Banzai Sushi & Thai- Melbourne Lake Washington- 4.45 Stars.If someone had told me 30 years ago that some of the best sushi in Melbourne could be found at a Japanese/Thai restaurant hybrid, I would have laughed in their face and called them a bald liar. Well, had that occurred, I would be gobsmacked today and apologizing for calling them a liar as I have just had some of the best sushi in Melbourne at a place called Banzai Sushi and Thai (a Japanese/Thai restaurant hybrid). The decor is an ascetic combination of Thai and Japanese art that blends together flawlessly to create a welcoming atmosphere. My server was an extremely charming fellow from India named Darban. He was exceedingly professional, personable and knew the menu inside and out. Along with an order of my go-to sushi restaurant barometer of a spicy tuna hand roll, I also placed an order for one Four Seasons roll and one JB Roll.Fresh out of the gate the rubber hit the road as I took a bite into one of the best spicy tuna hand rolls this side of Tokyo. The roll was done to such perfection that it crunched as I bit into it. Hands down, this was one of the better spicy tuna hand rolls I have had and the chef certainly hit it out of the ballpark with this roll. The Four Seasons roll was an old school roll with three different kinds of masago (smelt roe) on top and scallions, salmon, tuna, escolar and avocado mixed in. The exquisite flavor combination had my taste buds performing an Odori within seconds. Last, but far from least, was my order of the JB roll. I don't know who or what JB is, but they should be proud to have their name associated with this creation of culinary delight. It was a dazzling concoction of salmon, cream cheese, scallions and sesame seeds. If you're in the mood for an incredibly globalized meal (where else does one find a person from India serving Japanese food in a Thai place?), some old school sushi where the chefs greet each walk in with the traditional, "Irasshaimase" and the owner's wife darts around like a butterfly checking on customers and staff alike, with fish so fresh you can almost see it draw its final breath, then Big Boy says, "Get yourself on over to Banzai Sushi and Thai in Melbourne and soothe your savage beast with some Far East tradition." #bigboydiningout #iamthebigboy

Brought the family 03/16/19 after driving down from Savannah. We love Thai food and I'm always looking for great tom yum goong soup. The soup here was good... not great, but good with nice taste and spice. Everything we all ordered was good. Nice and hot. Several of us had pad Thai with different 'meats' and heat. There is a choice to have pad Thai made with rice noodles or rice. All of us opted for the rice noodle pad Thai.My son in law had sushi (hosomaki combo) which is also available at Thai Thai II. A pretty substantial selection of sushi dishes, rolls and soups etc. There is also beer, sake and some house wines available The menu is much more extensive that what we had. For some reason we all seemed to want almost the same thing, which I am thankful for since I was picking up the bill and the pad Thai isn't all that expensive.

This place will never let you down. We eat here often, and again over the weekend. We always order the same thing and Wendy is always our waitress. She is fabulous. Although we always order the shrimp tempura, we have several variations to our order and Wendy always knows exactly what we want, and what we drink. Itâs so nice to walk in and the minute she sees us, our order is in process. She is just wonderful. The food is always cooked perfection, staff is always cheerful, efficient and detail oriented. This is one of our all time favorite restaurants.

Siam Orchid- Melbourne- 4 StarsRising like the proverbial Phoenix from the ashes of adversity, Siam Orchid has bounced back from their minor troubles in 2011 to, at this point, lead the pack of reviewed restaurants in best sushi place in Brevard County. Up till this point the leader has been the joint Beachside, however; two recent trips have been unsteady and have allowed Siam Orchid, at least in the Big Boy's mind, to take the lead. Siam Orchid has been at this location for over 18 years. The fish is exceedingly fresh and the service is always commendable. Generally speaking, in these Thai-sushi hybrid places there is somewhat of a language barrier between staff and customers. Not so here. I have been here three times since March 7, 2018 and I have had consistently good service and a great meal every time. What would truly tickle me is to see an Oriental-Asian speaking Hispanic server/chef. That would really impress me!Anyway, at this point you must be wondering what I ordered. As a dedicated Big Boy follower, you should know my baseline Sushi order is (drumroll): JB Roll, Spicy Tuna Handroll and a random specialty roll, which, in this case, was the Siam Orchid Roll. The latter is an amazing tempura style roll filled with shrimp, fresh water eel, spicy mayo, and asparagus inside with some fried snapper on top. This is delish!! The Hand roll was prepared perfectly with no unwelcomed surprises. The JB was a winner as well. Siam Orchid does get slammed at lunch, so if you are planning on following the Big Boy to Siam Orchid for lunch-- there will be a wait, but it's worth it. Big Boy says. "Go, go, go!"
