The restaurant announced its launch through a promotional video shared on its website, capturing the attention of food enthusiasts interested in Thai fare.
Thai Delicacies is situated in a bustling shopping center at the intersection of Sunset and 12th Street. This location previously housed Olde Country Buffet, which ceased operations earlier in 2023, and before that, it was known as JackSon’s Southern Kitchen. The new establishment aims to attract both local diners and visitors, leveraging its prime location where approximately 22,900 vehicles traverse each day, according to data from the state Department of Transportation.

Sushi lovers will also find something to savor, as the restaurant offers raw, fried, and seared sushi selections.
Thai Delicacies joins a few established Thai restaurants in the vicinity, including the well-loved Mai Thai, which is located less than two miles down Sunset Boulevard and has been a staple in the community for years. Another option, Duke’s Pad Thai, is situated in nearby Cayce, while Golden Chopstix, which serves both Thai and Vietnamese dishes, lies along the border of West Columbia and Cayce. The addition of Thai Delicacies enriches the culinary landscape, providing more choices for Thai food lovers in the area.
The operating hours for Thai Delicacies are set for 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week, accommodating diners’ schedules throughout the week. With the increased interest in Thai cuisine and cultural dishes among the local populace, the restaurant is poised to become a valuable addition to the West Columbia food scene.
