    Duck noodle soup

    Love this place, food was excellent especially the duck noodle soup is my absolute favorite. Friendly family own and run. I would recommend this place for anyone.

    Plaza where Papaya Thai moved to

    We had dinner at the new location of Papaya Thai last night! Barbara had the pineapple curry with chicken. She noted that the portion size was huge and the curry was so flavorful. Melissa had the pumpkin curry with chicken. The pumpkin was cooked just right ( not mushy) and vegetables were cooked to perfection. We shared a chefs sepcial- crab fried rice . It was full of white lump crab and the flavor profile was sow demential. Casual dining but all tables completely full at 5:00pm. The location has changed since the original location was damaged by the Hurricane. Now located next to the Kia Dealership in the Venice Isles Plaza. Dad snd son were both in the kitchen last night! It was wonderful.

    Food was very tasty. Fresh and full of flavor. The place gets quite busy and it can take a while to get seated. Once seated, it can take a while to get your food. Seems like they may be understaffed but the quality of food is great.

    Absolutely everything I've tried there is delicious! The service is very attentive and unpretentious. Love it! It feels like being home. A great place to have conversation and enjoy a quiet atmosphere. Sometimes we end talking with other patrons. The Golden Sacks are a gift to the sight and the palate. These little veggie treats will make everyone happy. So crunchy and tasty! The curries are divine. All the flavors are very distinct. The crispy duck... YES! Remember to get Thai donuts and eat them with the coconut ice cream. You won't regret it.

    Some of the most friendly owners, and the food is on point. The flavor in the pad Thai is perfect. They have the best Thai tea, also!

    Freshest and best Thai food in Sarasota Venice, never had a bad experience. It's not fast food because it's made fresh to order.

    Ask the Community - Paya Thai Curry

    Can the meals be made gluten free?

    Absolutely! Our GF request was fulfilled. However, if you have celiac, I strongly suggest you discuss your GF need directly with them.

    Do they have alcohol?

    Yes, I think it's wine, and sake

    Do you have Vegan selections?

    They said they can make almost any dish on the menu vegan. Very helpful and happy to make your order the way you want.

    This place is absolutely massive. The location can't be beat, right on the beach and at the end of…read morethe pier. They have a store as well as tons of indoor and outdoor seating. The food arrived relatively quickly and our order was correct. The portions are on the larger side and the menu has tons of options for everyone. The grouper wrap got pretty soggy, which was a bummer, but I enjoyed it. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. I think it's slightly above the average Florida touristy restaurant but the menu items are basically the same at all of them. The location and sitting outside definitely inflates this. We will come back.

    First off, I love the atmosphere and service at Sharky's on the pier. After a day looking for shark…read moreteeth it's nice to get some good grub and rehydrate while in some A/C. Some of the prices on the menu fluctuate as Mahi and Grouper menu items are market price (minus some set menu items). Ordering was a quick process, and our food came to the table hot and within good time. My wife had a bowl with blackened grouper and enjoyed every bite. I got the grouper wrap myself, a popular menu item, and I thought it was good. It was missing a bit of an x-factor for me, I felt like it needed some more of the special sauce or would taste better with blackened grouper in place of the fried grouper, but that could be more of a preference thing.
