    Take out order $20 ish
    Kerry B.

    So, I have had some great experiences here. But this last one was quite awful. Ordered seafood pad thai for take out. I went to a local pub to eat it. When I opened it the seafood (fish smell) was so strong that people were like have you been fishing. Couldn't eat it because I didn't trust it and they wouldn't take it back. The seafood pad thai smelled spoiled. So $22 in the garbage and their remedy was to try to give me more spice. POP THAI... you let me down and there is no way in the world I will ever return to an establishment which will serve spoiled food. NO WAY EVER!!!

    This place is amazing! Initially we stopped here to get some sushi. As thats what we saw in the pictures in Yelp. We were disappointed when we learned they used to serve sushi. Not anymore. The employees of this restaurant were amazing! One of the best! Super friendly, talkative and welcoming! We definitely enjoyed talking to them! And each dish we ordered was so delicious! Fresh, flavourful and amazing!!! We can't say enough. My son is very picky eater but he loved the chicken satay and the rice. We loved the papaya salad and my Panang curry was also so good! We would defy return. I told them to open the same restaurant in Boca Raton!! Please!

    The food was so good I forgot to take a picture. I ordered the Pop Thai Fried Rice. Eat it in about two or three settings and absolutely love it. Even when I was in a restaurant, the lady was letting me know that this was a very good choice and she did not lie. Next time I'll have a picture but for now I will say the restaurant is beautiful, the service is great and the plum wine is just as flavorful.

    Pop Thai is always a home run when looking for good Thai food in the downtown Orlando area. Let's start with the yellow curry. It tastes like the most authentic yellow curry you can get. The potatoes are always cooked perfectly, the chicken is tender, and I like the size of the carrots (on the larger size). The Pad Thai was solid too. Same thing here. The chicken was the best part. I would like it a bit more "saucy" if that's the right way to describe it. But it's still great. What's perfect is the price is super reasonable. We bought three meals and spent less than $50.

    This has become our favorite Thai restaurant. I actually heard about this restaurant through the local yelp Elite community. My husband and I enjoy this restaurant. It has a nice vibe, very calm and relaxed but clean and modern. There is street parking available in front of the building or a small parking lot behind the building. Service is always fast and very friendly. I really enjoy their Thai iced tea. My favorite dishes are the pineapple curry fried rice, and massaman curry. My husband has tried various dishes, but the one he keeps coming back to are the duck dishes. He has had several, and he likes them all, including the peanut and the coconut curry. Five stars for fast and friendly service and fabulous food.

    Thai chicken salad

    I wanted to treat my friend to a nice meal for helping me pack and didn't want Panera even though she suggested it because I wanted something nicer. Randomly chose Pop Thai and so happy we did! It's a very nice restaurant vibe with house music playing, very attentive staff and the food, so delicious! We couldn't find it originally and drove past it so when we were trying to figure out where it was, passersby overheard us and said, that's our favorite Thai and pointed us in the direction. It's part of a long shopping strip with a variety of shops, but they're on the corner and street parking is available. We ordered chicken Thai salad, one of the currys and veggie rolls. The chicken Thai salad was extremely flavorful and so fresh and light, even though I hadn't planned to eat any, it was so good, we had to share.:) I added potatoes to our curry and it was an extra $2 chg. The chef was cute and made our rice mound into a heart. Perfect combo and lots of chicken with the veggies. My only caveat is the veggie rolls were a little mushy and I would pass on them next time. Everything is so flavorful otherwise and it was nice to see real Thai people working there. We learned our waitresses real name, but I'm tired and can't remember now. I went to a Japanese restaurant recently and nobody was Japanese. It really makes a difference in authenticity of the food when they come from the area they're presenting. Highly recommend this place for lunch and dinner. Yummy!!!!

    Orlando-Ohhhhh my goodness! This place was amazing! There were only two of us so we did not get to order a bunch of different items, but what we did order was delicious. Chicken Pad Thai and lump crab with shrimp fried rice. Both super fresh and yummy! Their Thai coffee was a bit too sweet and extremely strong so beware!!!! We definitely will be back with more people so we can try more items! The restaurant itself was super clean and the bathrooms were even cleaner. That is a major plus. Service was on point.

    Nice to-go portion of Drunken Noodles. So yummy! Lots of chicken. Loved the basil. I recommend this!

    I was craving Thai food late on Friday night, and all of my typical go-to places were already closed. So, I decided to give Pop Thai a shot. I am so thankful that I did- because it is replacing all of my old haunts! To clarify, my order was to-go. First off and most importantly, the food was scrumptious. Ordering online was SUPER simple. I ordered through Pop Thai's website, since I've learned the ways Uber Eats undercuts local businesses with insane fees and commissions. Parking was plentiful in the back of the restaurant, which was nice. And the order was ready within less than 15 minutes. Every meal had a very nice to-go portion. The staff is friendly and efficient. THE GOODS: 1. Tom Kha soup- wow wow wee wow. De-licious. The flavor was wonderful. We ordered a large soup (which came in the typical plastic cylinder-esque container). We ordered it with the shrimp upgrade- it came with several plump shrimp. I was happy with the amount of shrimp it came with and the size of the shrimp. It also came with a ton of mushrooms. Would definitely order this again. 2. Red curry (with chicken)- Loved this. Again, the flavor was great. It came with a side of rice that was *slighty* undercooked (my only complaint of the night). Lots of veggies and chicken in my order. I am a wuss with spice, but the spice level was tolerable! Thank goodness. But if you love spice, you should probably request it to be a bit spicier! Would definitely order this again. 3. Drunken Noodles (with chicken)- Oooooof, this was love. These noooodzzz will having me coming back to Pop Thai all of the time! I saw other reviewers saying that it was too salty... My dish had a great balance; mine was perfectly seasoned. I also saw that other reviewers said that their noodles had hardly any chicken in it... Maybe Pop Thai listened to the complaints- my order had plenty of chicken. Very, very tasty. I am excited to order this again. Overall, I loved Pop Thai. I thought everything was fairly-priced. We loved everything we ordered (except for the white rice). I couldn't recommend this place more- it was very yummy!

    Drunken noodle with chicken (lunch)
    Jessica F.

    Came on a weekday and took advantage of their lunch menu. I ordered drunken noodles with chicken--the dish was fresh, delicious, and the portion was huge...so it became dinner as well. My only issue was the spice level being too mild after I asked for Thai hot. Our server was wonderful and everything came out quickly. There is a small parking lot in the back which was great, but usually full for dinner.

    Fried shrimp app, with sweet thai chili sauce
    Rob L.

    Pop Thai is a no frills Thai restaurant on Mills. I love that there is usually no wait and the servers are always friendly and efficient. The food is solid and moderately priced. My wife and I shared the crab Rangoon and firecracker shrimp to start. We loved the crab Rangoon, and the fried shrimps were good, just different from what we were expecting. The shrimp pad thai was good, but we liked the drunken noodles with chicken better. Overall, we would go back!

    Yellow Curry w/ beef flank and Red Curry w/ chicken
    Vivian Y.

    I think this place is decent! The curries weren't spicy which I liked, but I kind of wished that we got more rice because there was more curry than rice. The server was very nice and we got served our food pretty quickly. It was good experience overall, and it was a cozy space to catch up with friends :)

    Chicken pad Thai and chicken fried rice

    Wonderful service and delicious food. We got the spring rolls chicken pad Thai and chicken fried rice. Would come back!

Real good vibes. Orlando obviously has no shortage of places to eat, drink, and gather, but Alfie's belongs to that rare category of venues that feel equally at home in a major metropolis. It's the kind of spot that would fit seamlessly into Los Angeles's best neighborhoods: think Gold Line in Highland Park or the Vinyl Room at the Hollywood Palladium. Not because they're carbon copies, but because they share that intangible quality of genuine discovery and cultural curiosity. The crowd ( age range 25 - 35 mostly ) was genuinely engaged with one another. People were actually talking, actually present, not hunched over their phones. That alone felt invigorating. There was an undeniable spark in the room. Alfie's wasn't chasing trends; it was simply allowing them to emerge naturally. What impressed me most was how they brought it all together .. Retro stereo equipment and vinyl players from the 50s mixed with a bar area that's super sleek and modern. Conversations, music, the lounge itself .... all came together in a way that felt alive and IN THE MOMENT. When my LA friends visit, Alfie's is on the list. Go after 9 or 10 PM and plan to stay for at least two hours. That's when you really see the scene develop and come alive. Bring your ID: they card at the door. Even at my age, I still get carded.

My girlfriends loved the carrot cake and the fourgasm (4 dessert sampler). Everything was a bit expensive, but you're paying for the expensive.

I did not care for that. Overall, this was a really fun experience and I'm sad we had to say goodbye.

The bar tender we ended up getting didn't speak a single word to us and he disappeared midway through our short stay. We ordered our drinks and after so long of not seeing them we decided to look for them. Turns out they were left with a group of guys at the bar.

The pork belly was braised nicely and tender, with the marshmallow adding the sweetness. The homemade crackers were very nice, and the jalapeno added a nice kick. The main dish was the bourbon chicken. It was nicely tender and had a hint of sweetness from the bourbon. The rice went well with the chicken, and the broccolini was perfectly grilled. For dessert, the bread pudding with ice cream was a perfect end. Moist and delicious. It was getting full, so I was able to save some and enjoy at home too.
