The owner/manager and her granddaughter/niece seem like nice ppl. They were both pleasant. But, it took a long time for me to get my food. My daughter and my food came out at different times. We had nearly finished my food before hers made it to the table. Quality of the food was poor. The rice for both dishes (one had steamed rice; the other, fried rice) was mushy. I paid $50 for food I had to pick through.

Amazing food, unique atmosphere, very friendly owner. Thai food with a cajun kick! Highly recommended. Be weary there is smoking in the bar section but the restaurant side didn’t smell like smoke.

We stopped in to wait out a tornado warning. It is a very casual restaurant/ bar. The owner and other guests chatted with us and were very friendly. The food took quite a while and was a little pricey, but we had leftovers. But we had so much to look at inside while we waiting and it was SO yummy! So great place if you have time to hang out, we are glad we stopped.

We were driving to Jackson & looking for a bite to eat in Meridian. Far Away Places came up with great reviews, so we decided to give it a go. We drove up & weren’t sure if we’d go in, but cars were in the lot, so we trusted the reviews & tried it. Super kitschy inside, & really fun. The food is AMAZING! We love Thai, & this is the best we’ve had…ever. Egg rolls are a must, & great hot mustard. The Pud Thai was delicious, & the Red Chicken Curry was incredibly flavorful! Not a quick stop, but worth every moment & mouthful.

Excellent Food! This place is pretty cool and has an extremely comfortable atmosphere, and probably one of the best waitress ever! If you aren’t sure about something, this lady keeps it real hahaha and tells you how it Is! The food is a little bit pricey but they server large portions. This is definitely a great exotic restaurant for those looking for something different! 🙂

Food was delicious as other reviews have stated. But we were waiting waiting waiting for everything. For our drinks, orders to be taken, drinks to be refilled, food to come out, the check, etc., etc. There were a lot of people there, and only one waitress and I used to be a server so I get it. Here’s just few things that happened: when we got there the waitress specifically offered egg rolls to us, making it sound like they’d be complimentary, they weren’t. (Which is just kind of odd). We didn’t mind waiting for our food but no one came to check up on us at all in the hour we were waiting. My boyfriend had an empty glass for probably 30 minutes and no one even passed by us so we could flag them down. Service was basically non-existent. There was no kind of apology about the service either- just a weak disclaimer when we sat down that there were a lot of people- which we could see. It took us about 30 minutes from the time we asked for the check to the time it took us to finally leave the restaurant. She had our card for about 15 minutes. All in all food was good but 2 people should not have to spend 2 hours at a restaurant when we could’ve been out of there in less than an hour if time was managed properly.

Went there for the first time this evening with a special lady. What a fantastic place, the food was incredible, Mrs.Brittney, our waitress was on her A game. Don’t be fooled by the look outside…the character inside and food will have you coming back again. Spring rolls are some of the best I’ve ever had.

The food was amazing! The best egg rolls anywhere and their Islander Paradise was 5 star awesome! Great staff, made us feel very welcome and a “far away” atmosphere to add to the experience!

Great place to go with a couple friends and talk and drink a few beers. Their egg rolls are huge and amazing and they’re about the only restaurant around here that does a good egg drop soup. They have many good options on the menu and a few awesome specials to choose from. Faraway places is always a great treat!
