The Thai ladies who own/operate this food truck are wonderful! I've ordered with them a couple times now and have had great experiences. The first time I asked for them to make what they felt was the best thing and grabbed an iced coffee. It scratched the heat itch and made me want to revisit them again. I have since gotten the pad Thai and potstickers, both also delicious with a lot of flavor. I'm not sure exactly where Buddy's is based out of but they're a reliable choice if you run across them in the wild!

Drunken Noodles and Mango sticky rice

It has been such a long time since I had decent Thai food in Florida. Service was fast and drunken noodles could be made vegetarian and without egg. Texture and taste was amazing. Noodle texture was spot on, same with taste. Basil taste was very good Will probably get again. Be careful with Thai hot as here it does actually mean it's spicy! Mango sticky rice was also very good.

The Glass Noodle - Curry Ramen

LOVED the curry Ramen. The broth was rich and a perfect mix of sweet and spicy. Service was quick…read moreand friendly both tines I've gone. Tables fills up quickly and there is no separate kids menu/sizes but it's worth the wait and the kiddos leftovers can always be taken home for later.

I usually don't like leaving reviews when I don't have many positive things to say, but honest…read morefeedback is part of the dining experience too. We arrived around 10:15 p.m. on a Friday night, with the restaurant closing at 11:00 p.m. Maybe that contributed to our experience, although several other parties were seated after us, so we weren't the last customers of the evening. We ordered quickly since we already knew what we wanted. My partner ordered the special, I ordered the ramen, and we shared the fried shrimp dumplings as an appetizer. Our server was friendly and attentive, though it was clear the staff was beginning to transition into closing mode. Unfortunately, that affected the atmosphere. While we were still eating, employees were spraying tables and mopping nearby. The smell of cleaning chemicals mixed with our food, which made the dining experience less enjoyable. When my ramen arrived, it looked more like a wonton soup or pho than the ramen I was expecting. I didn't question it because I assumed it might be their interpretation of the dish. However, the broth was quite bland, and the vegetables were still somewhat undercooked. The chicken had no seasoning, it tasted like it was boiled within the broth. After a few bites and sips, I decided not to finish it. My partner seemed to enjoy his meal, though he tends to be pretty easygoing when it comes to food. I didn't try his dish since it was very spicy and that's not really my thing. The restaurant is in a great location on Central Avenue, which makes it a fun area to walk around and people-watch. However, with most dishes priced around $20, I expected a better overall experience and higher quality food. Unfortunately, this isn't a place I would return to.

I tasted it and the flavor was good and wasn't too spicy to where you can't eat it. Sushi nigiri : yellow tail, escolar , salmon . Was fresh and no stomach aches or anything so I'd say it was fresh.

We dipped ours in soy sauce with a piece of ginger to enhance the flavors Sushi roll: I got the Tampa roll with it which is fried white fish and it was nice and crunchy . The portion size was a perfect amount , felt satisfied. You get chicken clear soup and an egg roll as a complementary appetizer. Total cost before tip: 29$ for lunch Chicken Panang bento box : I got the panang medium spicy it was perfect spice, not nose running spicy so it was good. The Panama sauce wasn't too watery or thick it was just right. And just right amount of rice on the side.

PARENTS WEEKEND ADVENTURE!!!…read more Went down to St. Pete/Treasure island for the weekend. Many reviews coming!!! We start with Sawatdee Thai & Sushi!!! We were excited to find a Sushi place a few doors down from where we were starting our weekend with a New Japanese HeadSpa Experience. (Checkout that review as well) We just wanted a quick roll to get something in our stomachs. The interior was nice and clean. It was themed nicely with touches of Asian elements. The Service was great as well. There was no one in the pace as we were there around 1-1:30 on a Friday, but we did see to go orders being picked up. The server was very nice and attentive to us through the meal. The challenge came with the sushi. The rice was hot not cold or room temp. I watched the sushi maker put a thing of rice in the microwave, but I thought that was to replace what she was using to make our sushi, but... NOPE it was for our dishes. It really turned my wife's 2 California rolls and my specialty curry heat = Spicy Salmon roll into the worst sushi we have ever had. The sushi roller needs to realize you should never use warm rice for sushi. We let it sit for a couple minutes to get the rice to be a cooler temp. Then once they were palatable, we ate them. The fish was fresh, but not spicy at all. The roe was such a small portion on the end pieces of the roll. Roe should be spread across all the pieces when it says it's part of the roll. Food to Value ratio: ok. If the rice and citrus heat were as they should have been it would have been a better Value. We paid 40$ with tip for 1 specialty roll and 2 California rolls. I paid less for the same meal at other places around St. Pete. We will most likely hit one of those spots next time, but... AS ALWAYS TRY IT FOR YOURSELF!!!
