    Love this place - truly reminded me of my time living in Thailand when I walked in. It's a small restaurant with interesting decor. We've been twice now and service is always great. The food is delicious! Our favorite appetizer so far is "Winter Presents" - little packages of fried wonton goodness filled with cream cheese and served with sweet chili sauce. (Love some of the names of the dishes - "Lady in Green Sprinkle," Jasmine in the Pool") I've had the basil fried rice and the panang curry - both great! NOTE: Listen to them when they say "don't ask for mild" - even the mild is spicy. Hubs usually eats "Thai hot" but server discouraged it and "hot" was plenty hot enough for him.

    Average Thai food in our humble opinion. The restaurant was relatively full on a Sunday at lunchtime, and food came out fast and hot. Salmon was dry and overcooked. No one asked about the food, so we didn't say anything. We came based on previous reviews from others but weren't quite as impressed

    Was craving some Thai food and decided to try this place. We barely made it in as they were closing in about 45 minutes! We called and were assured that if we showed up in 15 minutes, we would be able to enjoy dinner here at the restaurant. It's a small restaurant but packed full of flavor !! Yum! We ordered chicken satay, summer roll, pad gra prao, pineapple curry with chicken. We were pleasantly surprised by the taste of the food we ordered given the area. While we've had some excellent Thai food in other cities and in Thailand, Thai kitchen did not disappoint our palates! Would definitely come back here again if we're in the area.

    They close the kitchen at 7:50 on a Saturday night we had no opportunity to eat our dinner and decide on any dessert. The coccunt soup Tom Kha had too many ingredients it was odd. With no offset heat or curry it tasted like milk. Pad Thai was good the chicken was over cooked the shrimp was perfect. The appetizer the pork that takes 15- plus minutes was 5 stars. The deep fried chicken dish the pieces used were too small. We had big expectations that fell short. We ventured out 30 plus mins hoping to make this a new favorite unfortunately it didn't make the grade to warrant a long ride again. The Thai iced tea was also more milk tasting then desired

    We've been coming here for years and I can't believe I'm just now writing a review. A small family owned shop, we haven't dined in in years. We normally always get to-go. They are always busy, and they will always be upfront with you when you call in to let you know about how long for pick-up. If you are wanting a dead shop that takes 10 min for to-go, this is not your place. If you like fresh, wonderful, authentic food then they are your best best. People I know rave about certain Thai places in Daytona, this place blows all the other out of the water. Our favorites are; winter presents, summer breeze rolls, chicken lava, pad see ew, pad satay and of course the best soup you'll ever get: chick Tom kha!

    Looks good but was but horribly greasy and oily and not. Chick Pad Thai
    Candice L.

    Absolutely terrible! I will rate based on service but also food. Ordered Chix Pad Thai lunch special and it was a good deal but as we know you get what you pay for. They wanted to charge me $5 extra for making spicier than Thai hot and I declined that. Then when I went to pick it up I asked for the 4 containers to go and they said I could only have 2 for to go and if I wanted all 4 I would have to dine in next time or pay $2 extra. Ummm no thanks. It was so hot in there too. The girl said "Ya everything is expensive these days" like I need to know that from her. Then said if my "tummy hurt later.." I stopped her there and explained how I eat the hottest peppers etc and she was just full of attitude. The food was the worst! Very greasy and oily and just not something you feel comfortable eating but I ate it because I paid for it and was hungry. If they're that cheap and trying to cut down many corners it makes you wonder where else they're doing it. Oil was bad as well. She doesn't know my situation either. It was a gross experience and I will not be back. Do not recommend!

    First time have Thai. Was not impressed. My husband's fried rice was very good. The rest of us did not enjoy our meals.

    As a huge foodie, I'm always searching for authentic Thai restaurants with incredible flavors and a…read moretrue cultural experience. I've traveled to places like New York, Orlando, Los Angeles, Chicago and Detroit to find some of the best Thai food, so I wasn't expecting to discover such a gem in Port Orange. I stopped into a small family-owned Thai restaurant and ordered one of my favorite dishes, Pad Prik King with beef, along with sticky rice and ice cream for dessert. From the very first bite, I was impressed. Their version of the Prik King was different from what I'm used to, featuring an extra ingredient that elevated the dish and made it absolutely phenomenal. I requested it moderately spicy, and they delivered a perfect level of heat--bold, flavorful, and authentic without overpowering the dish. The freshness of the string beans, the tenderness of the beef, and the rich, unique sauce all stood out. Every ingredient tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Then came dessert. Their homemade sticky rice served with ice cream completely exceeded my expectations. It was easily one of the best sticky rice desserts I've had, and I've visited a lot of Thai restaurants over the years. What made the experience even better was the warm hospitality. The waitress was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the entire meal feel like you were dining in someone's home rather than a restaurant. If you're a fan of authentic Thai food and want to support a great mom-and-pop business, I highly recommend checking this place out. It was a wonderful surprise and a meal I won't soon forget.

    I love their crab ragoon and pad Thai level 4. This place has awesome service. We always call ahead…read moreand they reserve us a table! The Thai beer here is super cold! The staff is incredible! Place is always super clean! We keep coming back because it's so good! You have to pick your spicy from 1-4. I get 4 and I love it it's not super hot. My wife likes 1 and she says it's perfect.

    Who knew I'd find comforting Vietnamese food across from the Speedway!…read more I had just flown into Daytona Beach and, after settling into my hotel room, I came to Mama's Kitchen for dinner. Right away, we were greeted by a young lady and gentleman, and were directed to sit at one of the tables. The restaurant was clean and spacious. They had a cute little Vietnamese cart in the middle of the restaurant to bring a bit of Vietnam into its design. They also had a wall with a beautiful drawing. We ordered a few things from their menu, starting off with egg rolls and Bahn Mi with sweet potato fries. Whatever dip it came with was delicious - and that's coming from someone who doesn't like the orange sweet potatoes! We also ordered entrees such as their Bo Kho and Bo Ne. Both stews were delicious. For drinks, we had a Tamarind drink and a Kumquat drink - both of which were refreshing. Overall, I really liked the food here. And the decor was simple and the service was attentive. The gentleman who brought our food out was also very careful with making sure there were no peanuts in any of our dishes. I'd love to come back here again on my next visit and try a new dish!

    Ate at this restaurant during September 2026 on a weekend during the dinner hour. The business was…read morenot very busy at the time. My wife ordered the "Pho Mama" and I ordered the "Bo Ne". We did not order any beverages other than water. The service was very slow and I almost got up to remind our server that we had ordered food and were still waiting. I sampled my wife's pho and found it had a good flavor. The tendon and tripe were over cooked and a bit mushy. The other meats were cooked ok. The plate of condiments (bean sprouts, basil and peppers) were very skippy. At $18, I felt the Pho needed to be better. At $20, the Bo Ne lacked in a few areas and following this dining experience I probably wouldn't order it again. First off, I ordered this dish because it looked good and from the picture. On the menu it says "Vietnamese beef tenderloin" on the menu. The dish I was served looked much different than what I saw on the menu. The pickled carrots and radish must of had the day off on this night. Back to the tenderloin. In my years as a chef, I will tell you that there is only one piece of meat that is more tender than any other cut of meat from the cow and that is the tenderloin. What was served me was closer related to a tough cut or sirloin that tightened up so much when cooked, that every piece of meat I had to chew and chew to get past the grizzle. Once chewed, I needed to remove the meat from my mouth. See picture of the bread basket for the remnants of their so called beef tenderloin. The sauce that the meat was swimming in had a good taste. The liver pate was bland and was melting away into the sauce of the dish. One positive note about the experience is that the bread was superb! We may go back again sometime in the future but not any time soon.
