Red curry beef
Daniel P.

I could of sworn I ordered the red curry beef, but I think they gave me the yellow one by accident, either way it tasted really good, I ordered mine EXTRA spicy like I do when I go to any Thai place and I wasn't disappointed, it definitely had a nice kick to it, I'd come back again if I was in the area

Pad Thai with tofu
Alyssa M.

This place always has the best pad Thai, and the service is always great. It is never crowded and the food comes out quickly. The ambiance is very nice and calming. This is one of our favorite Thai places in town!

Silver noodles
Lilia G.

Very excited to find this place. Amazing food. I had the silver noodles with beef, medium spice. And the green curry. Both were delicious. I will be going back to try the their pho.

Drunken Noodles
Marilyn S.

Panai Thai is a little restaurant located in a strip mall, but don't let that stop you from going inside! We started with the ginger salad, and then got Pad Thai and drunken noodles. Everything was excellent - hot, fresh, and flavorful. Our server was very friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back!

Egg rolls
Melinda O.

I've been here many times and have never been disappointed. I came on a Thursday evening around 5:30pm. There were many tables available but filled up by the time we left (probably the busiest I've seen this place). The service is always amazing and friendly. I had the yellow curry and spring rolls which were great. The construction on the shopping plaza looks to be finished and plenty of parking available.

Not bad... just average food, service and ambiance. At least we gave it a try! We have a local favorite that we will continue to support.

Excellent food. Huge portions. Don't let the storefront in a strip mall keep you away. Terrific service. Great prices.

This is a neat little Thai place…read more I came for the Crispy Duck. I LOVE crispy duck. I saw online that they have the crispy duck soup & thought I would see if they make the whole duck/on the bone, not just a duck breast. I love the crispy duck but I like it on the bone, they usually give you half a duck so you get a mixture of duck, leg/thigh meat dark & breast meat, the flavors are better with the duck on the bone with the light & dark duck meats. Anyhoo, they didn't have Red Curry Crispy duck on the menu but they were so kind as to make it for me. They told me they make it on the bone, they just cut it off the bone before serving. This sounded reasonable & I have to have my Crispy Duck fix, so Presto! Like magic, soon, a lovely lunch plate of Red Curry Crispy Duck, cut off the bone, was indeed presented to me OuiOui. I was also brought a side salad & crispy veggie egg roll. The salad was super fresh, but I didn't like the dressing. It was way too sweet, pooled into the bottom of the cup. Next time I will ask for no dressing. The egg roll was perfectly cooked, however it was served cold/room temperature. Would have been better served hot or at least warm. I'm very pleased that I have found a crispy duck dish that has light & dark duck meats. Not just a duck breast. The crispy duck here was also cooked beautifully. I asked for it Thai HOT & my nose was running. It was a perfect Thai Hot for Moi OuiOui. I noticed a lot of Door Dash & take out coming & going. Some ladies were chatting while waiting & they were all talking about how good the crispy duck is here OuiOui. Agreed. The Crispy Duck here is very good. I'm so glad they cook the whole duck on the bone, I know for a fact they do bc I got a tiny piece of it on my plate :( I'm not happy I got the tiny piece of bone on my lunch plate, but I'm very happy that you cook the whole duck. It's unfortunate I got a piece of bone, but the dish is delicious. I also loved the artistic way the veggies were cut in the dish, they were cooked perfectly al dente, the rice was also fabulous & the Red Curry was a very lovely Thai HOT. The prices are also very reasonable. To the Chef: Thank you for making me the Red Curry Crispy Duck. It was delicious. I prefer it served whole, on the bone, however, if you're going to serve it cut OFF the bone "boneless" it must be indeed boneless. I had a piece of bone on my plate. (See photos) I hope that you can be more careful with the tiny bones in the future, as I would love to explore the rest of your menu & try the Red Curry Duck again in the future. Will Return to update.

This is a super cute little Thai place with a sushi bar…read more There aren't many sushi dishes on the menu but enough if you just want a simple roll, sashimi or tempura, which is moi fave. It's mainly a Thai place thou with lovely Thai vibes. I love that it's super cute with awesome Thai vibes. It has a very cute little patio facing the water fountain outside which is super cool. The ladies room is also spectacular with travertine walls & a marble floor, tre chic with great ambiance OuiOui. I got the soft shell crab & tuna Tataki. The soft shell crab was cooked perfectly. I would come back just for it OuiOui. However, the tuna Tataki was also fabulous. Super fresh sushi grade tuna, Lightly Seared with a tiny salad under. It was served with wasabi ginger lemon in a lovely ponzu sauce. I loved the way they served it here it wasn't sweet at all. Would def order both again. Moi only complaint is, they have the crispy duck here in Red curry, but it doesn't come with the duck on the bone, it's a boneless dish or I would have ordered it. I like the crispy half duck in Red curry on the bones. Would love to try some more dishes in the future thou. As I was leaving the Chef made me some cute little tiny doughnuts with a white glaze. So cute & so delicious. A very sweet jester, making an even sweeter ending to a fabulously perfect lunch. OuiOui. Adding to moi "fave restaurants in the Tampa Area" list. OuiOui. Will Return.

So disappointment…read more.. I came here with my child for the lunch special and ordered takeout. I ordered #5 from the lunch specials menu, which listed: salad, 3 pieces of sushi (tuna, salmon, and white fish), 4 pieces of California roll, pot stickers, and dessert. Since I'm deaf, communication can sometimes be challenging. When I got home and checked the bag, the salad and dessert were missing. I later sent my hearing partner back to the restaurant to ask about the missing items, but they still refused to provide them and said those items were only for dine-in. I wish the menu had clearly stated that the salad and dessert were dine-in only. It wasn't mentioned when I ordered. I paid $14.99 expecting the full lunch special, so it felt unfair and confusing. Clear communication on the menu would really help customers in the future. PS, I even tipped $3 in bowl on the front desk.

Stopped to have a nice dinner at this nice little Thai restaurant in Clearwater. I've been here…read moremany times in the past and as always, the food and service were very good. The vegetable soup that I started with had great flavor, but unfortunately, the vegetables were slightly undercooked. They had a little bit more of a crunch than I would have liked, but it was still a solid choice. One entrée we had was scallops in green curry. This was a really nice dish. Everything was well cooked, the curry was delicious and the scallops were enjoyable. The other entrée was shrimp in Panang curry. That dish was nothing short of outstanding. This was a solid 4 1/2 stars, only the little missed step in the vegetable soup kept it from being five stars. I've never had a bad meal in all the years I've been coming here. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the sushi that is available. We didn't have any tonight, but normally we do. The restaurant is small, but it is well maintained..

The pad thai here is very good and the perfect amount of saucy for me! I also liked the way the…read moretofu was cooked, and the portion size was large. The service was great and super quick. The ambiance here is really cool, with lots of beautiful decorations and good music playing. I can be picky about pad thai but this one lived up to my standards for sure!
