I enjoyed my meal very much. The Pad Thai was delicious. I also enjoyed the Thai Tea they served.

Their food is consistent every time. We've tried many of their entrees over the past year and a half, and it's always been fresh and quality food. I'd recommend the restaurant for a good meal. read more

Stopped in and got a large seafood Tom KHA to go. There were only 3 shrimp, 4 scallops a little calamari no mushroom. The soup was very thin and watery and not spicy. Definitely not worth the $20 spent for it. read more

Stopped here for lunch order the Pad Thai with a cup of soup only $12.95. Great flavor and a large portion. Service is great. Simple Asian decor with booths and tables inside. read more

I order chicken pad Thai medium heat for pick up. So satisfied with my food! It was very flavorful almost with a little sweet flavor. The chicken was slightly dry, but I would order it again and again because that flavor is has to find in Thai food around here. Isan Thai is my new favorite pad Thai place. And they are open every day! read more

We ordered Isan Thai for pickup and were really impressed with how well everything was packed. The food traveled beautifully and was still hot and ready to serve when we sat down to eat--despite being 15 minutes away. We tried the Pad Thai with chicken, Pineapple Fried Rice with pork, and the Thai Spring Rolls. Overall, we really enjoyed the flavors. The Pad Thai had a subtle sweetness that was nicely balanced by the peanuts and protein. While I wish we had been given the option to choose a spice level (it was pretty mild), it was still tasty. I also noticed it was a little light on the veggies, which might just be their style of preparation. The Pineapple Fried Rice didn't have as much pineapple flavor as we were hoping for, but it was still enjoyable--just could've used a bit more seasoning and a kick of spice. The Thai Spring Rolls were a highlight: perfectly fried without being greasy, and paired with a delicious sweet dipping sauce. However, $6 for just two rolls felt a bit steep, especially since the Uber Eats photo seemed to show four. Despite a few small misses, everything tasted fresh, and we're looking forward to trying the dine-in experience next time. Solid 4 stars--we'll definitely be back! read more

We shared a number of dishes. The chicken satay was nice, a bit crunchy and well seasoned. It came with 2 dipping sauces, peanut sauce and another that I couldn't pinpoint. The spring rolls were nice and crunchy too. Well filled with veggies and a spicy dipping sauce. The main dish we shared was Goong Pad Curry. A very colorful dish with plenty of different veggies. It had a bit of spiciness, but I wouldn't have minded a bit more. The dish came with white rice, very nice from a heart shaped mold! read more

Our visit to Isan Thai last night went very well from start to finish. I had checked out the menu and Yelp reviews beforehand and knew what I wanted to eat and what to expect. The restaurant does have a Thai restaurant look and feel with wood and wall hangings. They have two rows of booths and close parking if you can find a spot. For dinner I began with their Tom Yum soup, followed by a stir-fry dish called Pad Pak Ruam Mit. The soup was great with a citrusy flavor. My bowl was not really spicy, that may be something that could be added. My stir-fry, which I got with pork, consisted of fresh chopped veggies with a mild sauce. While simple I thought it was a fresh healthy choice, exactly what I was after. Service was fine, normal, and helpful as my wife likes to ask for suggestions when selecting a dish. read more

Isan Thai Restaurant - Pad Pak Ruam Mit - Thai Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

I went here couple time very long time ago and really missed a thai food where I usually order so I got food delivered. Most of items were which I never had but they were delicious. Isan salad had a nice bite; it was like almost like Korean daikon dish of sort, that I can't remember. Perfect palate cleanser. Also, Sai aour was so great! It was tangy with hint of aromatics, and the bite came later a bit. Kao soi was quite bland and soft noodles were very sticky and over done, crunch noodles ended up being soft from soaking up moisture. Overall, I'd order again but maybe for different items. read more

Isan Thai Restaurant - Stir fry entree with tofu - Thai Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Best Thai in Sarasota, hands down. The only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is that the service can get a little confused. Also, they were out of almost every beer that we tried to order. read more

I wanted some food that was spicy and colorful. My Goong Pad Curry was very colorful and a little bit spicy. I would not have minded a bit more spiciness. There were a lot of veggies!My husband and I also shared a chicken satay and a spring roll. Both were lovely. The spring roll was nice and crunchy. The chicken satay came with the peanut sauce and another liquid for dipping. Nice and hot and a bit crunchy too. read more

Was here once before and remember it being good but my second time was disappointing. Came on a Sunday right after they opened. The pad Thai was runny and way too sweet. We ate it anyway but won't be getting it again. Pad Thai is a staple. I don't understand. The decor is cultural and so beautiful, would be great if the food matched. Service wasn't good, either. I had to get up to get waitresses attention. I hope she's ok. She did not seem happy or engaged. read more

Isan Thai sports mostly positive reviews and seems to enjoy substantial customer loyalty. We must have landed in a different place. The overall tenor is worn, in need of updating with better overall ambience. They managed to lose our reservation but were able to seat our party of three for dinner. We chose this spot for its advertised emphasis on vegan options. The service was perfunctory and the food no better than awful. Each dish was served with tired carrots and other vegetables swimming in sauces which appeared and tasted as if they were trying hard to get rid of yesterday's leftovers. What a disappointing experience. Will not recommend or return. read more

This restaurant happens to be one of my favorite places to go because of the intricately designed seating areas hand carved in a Thai style. The staff are always accommodating, friendly and spot on the food. I Totally enjoy anything and everything from their flavorful and delicious menu and often take others to this restaurant because it's so unique and so much fun. By the way, the thing I love the most there are the fresh rolls with the peanut sauce which taste like peanut butter absolutely delicious. Take your choice just vegetable or shrimp. Don't forget their Thai tea or their exciting desserts. Everything there five star. read more

Good food but very crowded eating space and no where to wait in line, when it's cold outside.

this place is such a fantastic surprise! the staff was So Nice! and they had a great selection of vegetarian options for us! The coconut soup had such great flavor, and they even ask how spicy we like it! They had Pineapple Fried Rice on the menu, which we don't always find at Thai Restaurants, and it was just Perfect with just the right amount of spice, just the right amount of pineapple and cooked perfect! the Papaya salad was a real treat! and so was the cucumber salad! we noticed they had Curry dishes and lots of noodles too! read more

This place has a nice authentic atmosphere, smells amazing, and we loved all the art/gold statues and highlights. We got the Tom Yum Gai, Tom Kha Gai, chicken satay, and Thai iced tea. The tea and soups were ready in 10 minutes or less after ordering, and the chicken satay was another 5 or less. Our Thai iced teas were delectable, rich and sweet (could've been a little sweeter), The Tom Kha was delicious; aromatic and creamy, with a delicious vinegar kick. The Tom Yum wasn't as good, I wasn't getting much "hot and sour" from it, it was pretty tomatoe-y and had multiple inedible leaves/galangal stalks. The chicken satay came with a tasty sweet peanut sauce and vinegar sauce, filling little appetizer! Good prices, we enjoyed the food and would go back. read more

We came to this restaurant based on the reviews we saw online, but unfortunately, we left very disappointed with both the food and the service. The curry we ordered was extremely watery--more like a soup than a proper curry. The minced chicken had a strange taste . We frequently dine at Thai restaurants because we love Thai cuisine, but this experience was far below expectations and definitely not worth the money. It was, sadly, a very poor representation of Thai food. To make matters worse, the staff seemed unhappy and unwelcoming--no smiles, no greeting, and very little attentiveness. The service was also noticeably slow. While the interior decor reflects Thai culture, the food certainly did not match the authenticity as Thai restaurant. It's SHAMEFUL & HORRIBLE !!!! If option ZERO for the review , I will . read more

We had excellent food and service! The setting is very quaint as well. The dinner portions were large and we split them.We would definitely eat here again! read more

Service was slow, but friendly and the food was mediocre. It was surprisingly crowded.

We stopped in on a random google search and Yelp check. The place was VERY clean, nicely decorated and comfortable, and service was FAST and pleasant. Our soup was HOT and tasty (Tom KHA) and my entrée (Pad Pak Ruam Mit w/tofu) was REALLY tasty, fresh vegetables, beautifully cooked tofu (and good product to boot) My wife got an also well crafted meal, but sadly days later I forget what it was exactly. Veggies fresh as well, and served promptly and hot. A VERY enjoyable visit and we will absolutely return for a dinner or full course lunch. read more

Decided to come to this location due to proximity and the high reviews. I called my order in and when I walked in to pick it up, there was no organization. A few people were standing around waiting while the staff continued to walk past us without any sort of acknowledgment. I walked up to the take-out counter and the man working behind the counter looked at me and continued with whatever he was doing - no acknowledgment whatsoever. After standing there behind ignored for about 5 mins, I contemplated walking out. A woman came up to me eventually and asked if she could help me. Finally, I was able to get my food and go. Just on that experience alone, I probably wouldn't return. The red curry was just okay and I had to conduct a search party to find the shrimp in the container. Given the overall experience, I probably won't return. I know a place on the other side of town with delicious curry, I'd rather drive a few miles out of the way for good food/experience, than return to a bad experience to spend more money. read more

Excellent service ! Tasty food . Very local . Enjoyed the small outside seating with our dog.

Well this time around we had different dishes as you could see in the pictures. My recommendation would be to try the Green Curry and the milk tea. The food and service is good. Ambiance is just perfect with the Thai music playing in the back ground. We will be back so that we could try the other dishes little by little. read more

Isan is the best Thai food I've had in Sarasota so far! The amazing sauce is sweet and creamy with the classic peanut flavor we love. I highly recommend the tofu with it to soak up all the sauce in the bottom of the plate. The Pad Thai and drunken noodles are absolutely delicious. For any fried rice lovers out there this place is fantastic. The flavors are exactly what I look for in Thai fried rice with a little more sweetness than the usual and it was full of perfectly cooked beef. I've been feeling a little under the weather and I ordered the stir fried pad Kraprow (basil sauce) with chicken spice level: hot and I already feel better. Burned all the sickness out of me lol. I absolutely love this place and we ordered takeout and the service was quick and kind. The next time I'm craving Thai food I'll be ordering from Isan! read more

I hit this Thai food restaurant for the second time since I've been in Sarasota. Although it is in a strip mall, it is absolutely charming! Our server, Ohn, Took extreme care to make sure that we had beverages and great recommendations for the meal. It is not a pricey place. Plenty of parking. And the food is outstanding! Should you decide to go, please make the "drunken noodles"dish one of your go-tos! if you are a fan of lemongrass dishes, like I am... This is your place. read more

If I could give zero stars for the customer service I received, I would. I placed a to-go order and was told it would be ready in 10 minutes. As a frequent customer who lives nearby, I order takeout regularly. When I arrived, my order was not yet ready, which was understandable. However, I ended up waiting an additional 15 minutes--25 minutes in total. During this time, I was given my Thai tea upon arrival, and by the time my food was finally ready, my drink was empty. When I politely asked for a refill, assuming it wouldn't be an issue given the extended wait, the main server firmly stated, "Thai tea no refill" and walked away. I was taken aback by the rudeness, especially since I had been waiting far longer than originally promised. This experience was extremely disappointing, as I have never had an issue here before. I hope management takes customer service more seriously, as this was unacceptable. read more

I had the tom yum soup and chicken Thai basil. The Tom yum soup was very good. Flavorful and generous count of chicken in the soup. It was a good start to lunch. My chicken Thai basil was also flavorful and I enjoyed my meal. My wife had her usual fare of chicken pad Thai. She's a fan of a sweeter pad Thai and this was very good too Overall our lunch was very good with good but stoic service. It's a 4.5 star place for me but I'm rounding down because I didn't feel the love with service. read more

Great tasting $6.95 tofu hot & sour soup. It is spicy, but not as spicy as the PAN chili lime snapper for $23.95. The waitresses should mention this meal is REALLY spicy. Spicy and really spicy is different. The ambiance is satisfactory. There is parking in the back, but drive slowly due to the cross fit gym and other businesses. read more

The place is located a few miles south of Siesta Key. They have ample seatings although it looked like a hole in a wall kind of place from outside. They seemed to be knowledgeable about vegans/vegetarians. They have a separate section for vegans in the menu and that is the reason I decided to try this place. We came on Christmas Eve around the lunch time and there were only 1-2 other tables occupied. There was only one person serving the tables. We ordered spring rolls and pine apple fried rice both vegan and my family got some shrimp appetizer and chicken fried rice. The vegan fried rice tasted good (although I couldn't get any vegetables in the fried rice) rest of the dishes didn't impress us. I forgot to take pictures of the fried rice. I would say I expected better looking at the reviews. read more

Was craving Thai food while visiting some family in Sarasota and this spot popped up on Uber eats. The Pas See Ew was all right, but the Pad Thai was probably the worst I've ever had. Flavorless, dry and overall dull. Whenever I ate a piece of chicken by itself it was like eating cardboard. Would not suggest. read more
