    Thai Basil pad kra pow with chicken be full and be happy

    This is one of the only places in Tampa that actually makes Thai hot. Most are Indonesian, Vietnamese, Laotian, Cambodian, Chinese, Malaysian, Burmese, or wannabe Thai Hot, but these are legit Thai people. Tip your hat to them for bringing Thai food to Tampa when everyone else is just pretending to be Thai. Thai basil presented as Thai hot is top notch!

    It is a fake plant that shows the beauty of the place

    The food was very delicious and the service and ambiance was amazing. I am from Orlando and the soup was Delicious and the place is beautiful.

    Bad service in action

    Well my wife and I came in and there were two other couples eating, he came right over and ask did we want water and we said yes. Then an Indian family of 6 came in and he and his staff lost their mind!! 5 minutes went by they standing small talk and accommodated them and when I saw him attempt to serve them water, I got up and went over and ask"is my money green?, why did you neglect us" black folks". He said well they, and that's all he got out of his mouth before I told him how offensive that was to me and my wife. It's my first and last time here because he made me feel my blackness wasn't equal or appreciated in their restaurant. I've never called out race and service on yelp but this time it just vexed me to see it so clearly. You can improve my not favoring nationality in your restaurant, black people spend more dollars per capital than anyone, we tip generously also. Our just put the sign up, no blacks welcome.

    We were out late, looking for a late night dinner. Found this place that was opened till 3 am. What Asian restaurant opens till 3 am? We went to check it out. We were not disappointed! Very friendly service! We ordered the rad-na (fry noodle in sauce with pork & veggies). It was very flavourful, apparently they make their own noodles. Noodles were very good, we very much enjoyed the dish. We also ordered the Minced pork omelette on rice. A simple dish packed with flavour, we polished off both dishes. The server was very good, kept checking on us to ask us how the food was. Apparently this is a family run restaurant. The parents used to be chef at a hotel in Thailand. Very worthwhile to check them out. We are coming back tomorrow for dinner again. It's that good! We loved the food, decor & its service.

    Love this place! We come here all the time. It is the best late night spot in Land O Lakes and in Tampa, period! The food quality is superb. I love the pineapple fried rice, pad Thai, basil fried rice, and Panang curry. The flavors are phenomenal and the owners are super friendly. The absolute BEST late night spot.

    Eggplant basil and shrimp.

    Wonderful dish eggplant with basil and shrimp. Mild for me. It could be mild spicy, medium spicy or hot spicy.

    Prig khing w/ shrimp

    This place opens late and stays open late. We had planned to come one week and the hours mysteriously changed from 8pm opening to 10pm. It was late as is at 8pm so we decided to try another day which we did. We arrived about 815pm and the place was crowded. All to go/take out orders. I said they must call at 759pm to place their order. We were the only ones dining in, it took a few to be served but we well were well acknowledged by the sole front staff. He was also personable and that I always love. We had chicken pot stickers, hubby had the basil fried rice and I had the prig khing. Hubby and I said mild heat, his was ok but mine was too spicy, couldn't enjoy it much. My hubby had made up his mind he liked the other Thai place we visited. The food is fresh and hot and obviously made to order. Ironically another to-go customer came in and complained about the last minute change to opening the week prior. Our server explained how the time it takes to prepare food and the space they have and sometimes they do not have items on the menu and prefer not to disappoint customers. Very genuine and transparent and I appreciate it! They also evidently have their loyal customer base because at no time did the place stay empty our time there with take out orders/pickups coming through.

    Comfortable, Cozy Night Time Dining.

    Thai Cafe is our favorite late night place to eat in Land O' Lakes The owner "Da" takes care of you like family visiting in his "home". The food is custom created to order and incredibly tasty!!

    Great Thai. Hours a little late but worth it. Just a few tables but service friendly - all family rub.

You order at a kiosk right as you walk in, which admittedly was the only negative here as it just backed up the entry way when you had two large groups trying to order at once. But there was ample seating beyond the entry for both small and large groups I ended up doing the build your own poke bowl, opting for tuna, salmon, onions, cucumbers, scallions, seaweed, and poke sauce. Everything was nice and fresh, and the portion size was about what I'd expect for the price. My friend got the classic ramen which she said was quite tasty, plus one of the boba teas. We both agreed that we'd easily come back to this place! If you can't find parking in front, there's actually a fairly large lot behind the building that still has plenty of spaces even with the busier Mother's Day rush.

The restaurant is a simple setup with tables and booths, nothing fancy but functional. There's no one taking your food order; it's all done by the tablet when you walk in, as a self-service. Good option when you need a noodle bowl fix!
