    I had a lovely lunch with my family at Drunken Poet. The ambiance was great, I liked the decor. The service was attentive. My favorites were the Thai chicken wings, and the sushi rolls were quite good as well. Looking forward to trying more dishes next time!

    Small storefront Thai Restaurant on Main Street. Sitting offers tables for 2, 4, 6, and 8. Menu is on a tablet and offer starters, sushi, Thai entrees and Thai sides. Pricing is higher than most Thai restaurants in town. Music is loud and server tend to be robotic. My husband loves the Queen Kong sushi plate. He says it is a unique dish and loves the freshness. I tried the Chicken satay. They were tiny pieces not like in their menu picture but their sauces were flavorful and made the chicken taste better. The Pineapple Fried Rice comes with shrimp, pineapples, peanuts, cranberries, onions, and cilantro. It served inside a half pineapple. The flavor profile is distinctive and creative. Parking is horrible in downtown and I questioned why I was dining here.

    shrimp vegetable pad thai?

    June 7, 2024 - 2 for dinner. I like this spot and its decor and after parking the Main street theme. Service was not great. The menu iPad was not working and we were told to break out our phones? The menu is 'stupid' large and complicated. I would prefer to see the items one makes well and the customer can always take off or add or swap items. With all this variety you would think there would be more vegetarian or vegan non fried/tempura, fat and oily, or animal product meat/fish items?? Ultimately we found a few things and made it our own. Long delay on the apps and then the entree can piling out before we were even finished. Asking for more napkins, getting more water, even getting another alcoholic beverage al took time and detracted from the 'dining' experience. Food was good. even with the barrage of entree delivery it was just warm, so must have been sitting and our leisurely waiter finally saw it and brought it out? May try this joint out again on a long from now rotation when we hit the theatre, but not a stand out amongst a LOT of Main Street and Sarasota competition????

    Left to right: Fiery Roll, Zak Roll, and Lucas Roll with cucumber instead of cream cheese

    Went here on a Friday night with a group of four for a late dinner, super fun vibes here and awesome service! The waiter was so sweet and gave us plenty of recommendations. We split three rolls and a pad thai. My favorite was a tie between the Lucas and the Fiery Roll. I definitely recommend substituting cucumber for cream cheese in the Lucas Roll (a recommendation from our waiter). The food came out quick and absolutely perfect. I would definitely come back next time I visit Sarasota!

    Spicy Tuna, Lucas roll, Fiery roll, Sexy Woman roll (back to front). Loved it all!!!

    Does the pad Thai contain fish sauce?

    I believe so. Please call them to ensure the recipe hasn't changed.

    So glad we made it to Siam Gulf. By the time we made it, we were a bit hangry. Also we were trying…read moreto figure out the coolest location to sit. They were very patient with us and we had a good spot and a fan directly to us. We ordered the pad see ew and the Orioles roll. These were great recommendations. We loved the flavor of the noodles and the roll roll had salmon which I had wanted. Our server was very sweet and helpful and checked in on us often. The decor is very nice and the restaurant is quite spacious.

    Won't return. We…read moresaw this one on our dinner at Mariscos Azteca Mexican. A L shaped restaurant, that serves Japanese and SE Asian cuisine. Quiet on a Sunday evening. Two pleasant young women (both with long pony tails) work the room. Service is so so: trying for good five minutes to tell the server (seeing her come and go) that the Pinot noir turned; my cab is ok. "How old is this bottle?" She said, "normally is less than a week." Oh well. Their stems are not bad. Two little kids, a boy and a girl are behind the bar counter. I've mixed feelings for kids in a work place ... Foods are fine: Thai lettuce Wrap - minced pork on the sweet side; have to ask for spicy sauce Sashimi style dinner - ok Spicy tuna roll - something crunchy which makes the roll interesting A Caucasian man comes and goes in the bar counter, sporting 'vineyard vines' t shirt . I'm between foods, so I googled it: not a vineyard but a clothing store. Oh well, just learnt one more thing today: thanks. Bathroom door lock - push in.
