“EscapetoThailand,”wellatleast youmaythinkyouhave when you dine at Isan Thai, tucked away in a small strip mall, off busy US 41, at 5758 S.Trail, Sarasota (941-923-12332). With a cozy authentic atmosphere, Isan Thai offers great healthy Thai food choices and warm, friendly service. A great story here from this COVID pan- demic, is that their business, which has been only a delivery and pick-up service for months has done a fabulous trade. Now it’s even better since they have opened for safe inside dining. Sarasotans have really embraced Isan Thai over the years and are keen to
support them during these unusual times. And with
good reason as their food is magnificent!
Congratulations to all here!
