We had lunch on Mother's Day at Thai-licious. The food was fabulous. The service was terrific. The ambiance was inviting and comfortable. Overall our lunch was superior and nothing short of 20 stars! We love you cooking Ms Joy. We can't wait to return! See you soon. read more

Traveling 4/19/26 with a sea shelling friend. Our greeting was very sincere. We felt honored by you. The service was attentive and prompt. You served us well. The food was remarkable! You nurtured our appetites. Thank you Ms Joy. You are a fine cook! The ambiance is quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed seeing the video of nature and Holy Scripture. We highly recommend your restaurant to the masses read more

Order beef pad thai. It was on sticky side and not much flavor at all Miss the rice like we like at Bankok. Will make sure we go back to Bankok for our Thai next time read more

Food wise it was ok. 6-7 out of 10. Service was terrible. We got in party of 3, with a party of 5 right behind us. The server sat us first and then the other group. Proceeds to take the other group order first, despite us coming in first and seating us first. Continues to ignore our table for a few long minutes after taking their order before coming to take our order. Context: we were already decided, menus down waiting before he even took their order. He can to take their order while they were clearly still browsing the menu which took even longer. Ordered two starters vegetable tempura and spring rolls. Vegetable tempura never came until I asked and showed up right with the mains. When I mentioned it I asked for a second spring rolls - the waiter impolitely pointed at the empty plate saying "that was it you just had it" I said yes, I know. Thank you. I would like to order another one. - didn't hear me? Sure, misunderstood? Happens. But I was super polite an his response was extremely rude. I forgo to mention he had air pods in his ear the entire time. Sorry to keep you from your TikTok's attitude. I saw on the specials menu vegetable tempura. I ordered it saying explicitly vegetable tempura. It comes with 6 shrimp on top - I don't eat shrimp I told the lady I'm sorry but I won't eat it I ordered vegetables not shrimp. Seems like she wanted to add those with good intentions but you don't add sea food to a vegetarian order... to my surprise they did not take it back, did not remake it, and charged us for it. Things slowly got a bit better with service (maybe since we were done needing them) at the end the waiter comes to our table drops the payment machine at the far ends of the table beyond my reach and walks away with saying nothing. Later the lady came out with our two take out orders saw the machine on the table - I told her I'm waiting to pay and handed her my card. She was confused as why it was there but took my payment and we left. I might give them a second try. Probably not. But again - absolutely terrible service. Attitude problem. Left a 25% tip but felt it was very undeserved. read more

While visiting Sarasota i was invited to this somewhat new Thai restaurant. Super quiet ambiance. I think it's more of a deliver / take out place. But very clean and nice. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Food was delicious. Ordered spicy seafood pan. It was freshly made. Delicious. Basil was such a nice touch. Miso soup was good but it's made with beef or chicken broth. Not your regular miso flavor. Friend ordered spicy seafood stir fry. and it looked very freshly made and like a good size of a portion. There are many dishes on the menu. The only thing i would say is that it's not your typical Thai cuisine. Nice fusion in my humble opinion. read more

Good decor, friendly service. Excellent Fresh Basil Rolls (very generous portion) and Pot Stickers!! Very enticing sauces served with them, too. The Chicken Pad Thai was very, very good! I did ask about the heat levels (mild) and was honestly told that they weren't hot for them. Which makes complete sense - however, as a former wimpy mid-westerner (former midwesterner, still wimpy) I can state that there was nothing mild about it. If you have to ask get, "no" spice. It did taste wonderful, however! No pictures because I got takeout, sorry. read more

Everything is delicious here and so fresh. I recommend the fresh basil rolls, the soups, the crispy duck, and to top of your delicious meal.....a slice of home made coconut cake. It has lots of fresh sliced coconut in the cake. Yummmm read more

The food is delicious and reasonably priced. Service was very kind and efficient. Highly recommend.

The service was friendly. I had the green curry with chicken and the boss had her pad Thai. We had the lunch special and it came with soup and a spring roll. Both were pretty good and I was excited about getting our main dishes. My curry was a soupy consistency. I prefer a more creamy texture, but that wasn't the issue for me. Something was missing. I tasted the pad Thai and something was missing. The umami flavor was missing. Then I overheard that they don't use fish sauce and use salt instead. Now it made sense to me. As much as I want to like this place, the food quality for me fell short for what I prefer for Thai food. read more

This is a really fun restaurant , service is great, menu Has many great choices. And to top it off their Coconut Cale is amazing. read more

I had been wanting to find a Thai place I'd love since Stiks closed down off US-41. I'm glad Thailicious delivered with the quality of their food. I'm sensitive to spicy food and asked for a level 2 Heat (1-5 being the options for how spicy they can make your dish) and probably will be asking for level 1 when I go back because they don't play when it comes to giving you what you ask for! I was paying for it after, if you know you know. So if spicy is not your thing, go for level 1 in terms of "heat". I wasn't blown away by their fried rice but that isn't to say I wouldn't try it again nor would I recommend against it, I've just happened to have better. All in all, I'd recommend this restaurant and will go back when I can. read more

Like one of the other reviewers, I also wanted to like this place since it's a small restaurant and owner seemed very nice but the food is why I won't be back. Every dish we ordered was slightly off in taste...definitely missing the umami flavor that you find in Thai food. The spicing was just off, and I don't mean spicy because our medium heat was plenty spicy enough. Service was solid. read more

I lived in Bangkok for a few years and I think I am a fair judge of authentic Thai taste. That said, Thailicious hits all the right notes. Everything is delicious. The coconut cake is quite unique. I don't know when I have enjoyed a dessert like this. The green papaya salad it's a complex of flavors that hits every note just right. An amazing menu that must be experienced. read more

We had a chance to dine at this relatively new Thai restaurant this week and very much enjoyed the experience. The decor was very nice considering that it is situated in a strip mall. Wall hangings were a nice touch. The food was delicious if not kind of overwhelming. Portions were large and we took at least half home. We will go back and try to find a dish that we can both enjoy and split it since neither of us has a large appetite. Many carry out orders and some delivery but in person diners were a bit sparse considering how good the food is. read more

Thank you for the amazing services and special 50th birthday cake! The food was amazing! read more

Small intimate restaurant. Great food and pleasant service. The crispy duck in red curry sauce was delicious as was the crispy whole fish in sweet chili sauce. read more

I first ate at Thai-licious in the fall and thought, " GREAT!! A really good Thai Restaurant!!" I have eaten there at least 5 more times and had very, very good food, each time. Last week, we dined with a friend and 2 of the 3 meals were NOT good. Our guest had the salmon and said it was over cooked. Likely precooked and rewarmed. You cannot do that with fish. I had " drunken noodles with duck." Pad Kee Mao, spicy. The duck had been deep fried the first time and then refried. Ok, that was not great, but not the real problem, The noodles were orange! The chef had used so much chile oil that it turned the noodles ORANGE!! Pad Kee Mao is brown and has a completely different taste than the dish I was served. The taste was not there. Also, after our first round of beers, the waitress told us that they " ran out of Singha Beer!!" In a Thai restaurant?? I am hopeful that the restaurant can turn things around. It was once very good and could be, again. read more

This restaurant was by far, the best Thai food we've ever had. The portions were extremely generous. The wonton soup was made with fresh, delicious vegetables and the wontons were amazing. ALL of the ingredients were fresh & delightful! My husband and I thought the entrees were a top 10 meal for both of us! The entire staff was very accommodating and kind. We met the main chef and she was a complete sweetheart. We will definitely be back! read more

Stopped in for lunch with friends. Chicken Pad Thai was good, as was the volcano chicken. The Pad see ew was tasty, but the wide noodles were on the soft side. Soup and egg roll appetizer was great! Service was excellent, and the restaurant is very clean and not cluttered at all. read more

Great menu!! Food was extremely delicious!! Best Thai in Sarasota! Service was outstanding and menu knowledgeable!

The service is great, the food is greater, whereas the environment is full of Asian culture not solely focused on Thailand. The serving size is much bigger & the portion size is best for the buck. For example, Isan Thai is not as good as Thai-licious. Although the taste may differentiate, the food & authentic Asian environment is the best to experience in Sarasota, Florida. read more

Excellent service and food. Ordered soup and we (2) split entrees of fried duck and tofu with veggies. Outstanding! Generous portions and perfectly cooked and spiced veggies and protein. We will be back. read more

This place just opened two weeks ago, not far from our house, we just tried it for the first time and it was fantastic. We had the potstickers, garlic and ginger curry with seafood, and a chicken peanut curry. All the food was delicious just the right level of spice. The service was great and we chatted with the owner who was lovely. Highly recommend. read more

Tried Thai-Licious tonight for dinner and it was good! Started with the curry empanadas - tasty but needed to be a bit warmer. My pad Thai was excellent and husband's massaman curry was even better - flavorful without being overwhelmed by coconut milk. We'll be back for sure. read more

Thai-Licious is so amazing!! The small quaint and beautiful ambience, great food and service has our family hooked!

Thai Licious in Sarasota is handsdown one of the best Thai restaurants I've ever been to! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm smiles and comforting aroma of authentic Thai spices. The atmosphere is cozy, clean, and beautifully decorated-perfect for both a casual lunch or a romantic dinner. Every dish bursts with flavor and freshness. The Pad Thai is perfectly balanced- not too curry dishes are rich,creamy, and absolutely addictive. You can tell the ingredients ar top quality, and everything is made with care. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome, and the service is quick and friendly. Whether you dine in or take out, the presentation is always on point. If you love Thai food (or even if you've never tried it before), Thai Licious is a must-visit in Sarasota. Authentic, flavorful, and consistently amazing-truly five stars all the way! John, Thank you for an amazing luch and thank you for introducing me to all of your amzing Chefs. Bravo read more

Food, service and ambience is all very mediocre. Pad Thai not bad and tempura shrimp. Short ribs were awful.

Stopped in on a Sunday to pick up carry out. The dining room was not busy. We looked over the menu and I asked the young man if I could swap out the rice for noodles. He had to go ask the chef. He came back and said she didn't know because she had never made it that way and there would be a $3 up charge for swapping the rice for noodles. So I decided to stick with the rice. I ordered it with chicken. When the order came out the receipt said beef! I asked why it said beef when I ordered chicken? So she offered to remake it with chicken but we had waited long enough I said I'll just take the beef. After all that the dish did taste good. I don't order beef in my Thai food but this was pretty good. So taste wise I would recommend but as far as being flexible don't count on it. read more

You have made my day. I am beyond happy that such a good Thai restaurant finally came close to me. We had take out. Druken Noodles, Thia Beef Salad. Spice was on point. It was delicious!! You will see me again! read more

food was amazing and great portions! this place wasn't too busy when we came so the food was fast, and the server was very nice. Our plates were very clean when we were done. The ambiance and vibe of the decor were on point. Good choice for vegetarians as well. read more

Had 4 wonderful dishes from Thai-licious. Simple on-line ordering and easy pick-up, but they also have a nice seating area. Best Thai food we've had in 10 years in Sarasota. Highly recommend! read more

Great service. Quaint place. The Tom Kha soup was amazing. Best in town! The bbq pork special came with a flavorful sauce but nothing else. A little rice would have been nice. My bf liked the bulgogi hot pan but it was a small portion for $23. Tasty Thai tea as well as iced tea. Overall good. read more

Food was great, staff wonderful, but acoustics are terrible. There were only three tables filled at lunchtime and we couldn't hear ourselves think because of four loud women at the table next to us. read more

Great, authentic Thai food. Fast and very attentive service. Best mango sticky rice I've ever had.

Easily the best Thai cuisine in Sarasota. First time eating here and we were very impressed with the freshness of ingredients and the subtle flavors of each dish. Service is excellent and the interior is pleasant and cozy, without the over-the-top decorations you find in so many places. Don't let the surrounding shopping center put you off - this great new restaurant is worth your visit. read more
