This week, I wrote about Guild & Company in South Burlington and the transporting effect of its dining room. On Saturday, I visited another restaurant with a vibe all its own. Unlike Guild, though, Honey Thai Restaurant in Williston isn’t so much big-city destination as Mad Hatter’s Tea Party — in Thailand.
The sign at right should give you an idea of the design of the dining rooms. The front is unassuming enough, with dark colors and ethnic touches. But the huge back room, most recently home to Douzo Japanese Steakhouse, Sushi Bar, Martini Bar and Thai Cuisine, is all bright colors and shining blue Christmas lights. Imagine a great birthday party at an Asian karaoke bar —sans arrests for public drunkenness — and you’ve got the idea.
The front dining room was mostly full when we arrived, but our friendly server quickly took our order.

The service there definitely needs a LOT of work (received the wrong dishes and the wrong check on the two occasions I’ve been there), but the food makes up for it. The honey duck is incredible.
Manged to get here this month. Loved the spicy duck, red curry, and lots of appetizers. Good service. Will return for lunch often when I can’t be bothered to drive to St. Albans for their basil duck and volcano shrimp. *tummy rumble*
While the service was a bit slow, the wait was worth it. The food was very good, very appealing and very authentic!
