One of my friends recommended me this place and I fell in love. The coconut noodle soup was a starter for us, their fresh spring rolls with shrimp sub peanut sauce, and their beef jerky with chili sauce with an order of sticky rice . Phenomenal. Then for my entree, I order their Thai red curry with beef. The beef is premium cut in with bell peppers, cabbage, bamboo shoots and basil!!! Literally, who doesn't like basil? Keep it coming. I started with just the way it comes before I take on their spice. My friends were too chicken out to try anything out of the ordinary . So they had their pad thai , very common. But something about this pad Thai is truly flavorful, sweet , and simple. We each order their Thai drinks like Thai ice tea, Thai ice green tea and the Singha Beer. I totally recommend this place. They even have white people spice lol (heard it from a table near us) I'm Brazilian , GIVE ME THE HEAT. . . I really like the service, our server was Moni I believe . She was genuinely sweet, very knowledgeable , and attentive . . There was another waitress but with glasses with leggings(people who wear leggings at work tends to show off) , i want to say shes around her early 30s' I may be wrong. But I swear I've seen her waiting tables somewhere else . Not to be mean, but we did not care for her. She lack sincerity, when she said goodbye to us is like very monotone. . But other than that, I really like this spot in fort Myers. read more

I went to Thai Star for lunch. When I walked inside, I decided that I wanted to order food to-go. The staff did get me a water while I waited, which was nice, but the whole interaction was awkward, as if they never had someone come in and order food to-go before. It was dark and dreary and empty inside. There were tables everywhere for seating. I ordered the Thai Red Curry with vegetables. Food was just ok. The vegetables were overcooked and the rice tasted as though it was a few days old. Overall, disappointing experience. read more

The very best coconut soup ever and I eat Thai whenever I can. The owner is an amazing guy from Thailand.

The food was made with fresh vegetables and great flavors. Not overly spicy and tgey give you a choice for how hot you want your dish. Service was informative and pleasant but could be more attentive to details like beverages during the meal service. The dining room is clean and casual. Thai art (I assume) on the walls but placed in a very simple white wall space. The kitchen was not high speed, but for me that equates to food not from the freezer. Concise menu with a limited beer & wine selection. This is not gourmet, but for my expectations exactly what I was expecting. read more

This spot is off my beaten path, but I am glad someone reminded me of it so I could visit again. The inside is very bland and plain with little ambiance, but don't let that deter you. Service was quick, helpful, and attentive. I got the House Curry and it was WONDERFUL! Sweet and savory and very peanutty with lots of fresh vegetables. My friend got Pad Thai and she said it's her favorite in the area. I will definitely return to try more! read more

Thai Star is our family favorite Thai restaurant in the area, and one of the best of all Thai restaurants I've been to in the US. A family run restaurant that sits in a generic location, it's quiet and comfortable, works equally for casual lunch/dinner, date night or business lunch. The service is attentive! The coconut noodle soup(add chicken) is a tasty! Not on the menu, however one of my favorite and go to item is the Coconut Noodle Stir-fry with chicken. read more

Pure artisanship. Tucked away in the hidden corner of the Orion Center business complex, this pearl of a bistro shines bright with the food they serve. I walked in at the end of their lunch hour service and ordered the standard Thai, must have, entrees. So impressed with the wild mix of flavors that I added a to-go order, for dinner. I will return and try more of what they offer. You will not be discouraged read more

We were in the neighborhood, and we saw Thai Star, so we decided to stop in for dinner. Boy, were we impressed. First, our server, Monique, was exceptional. Second, the restaurant was clean and inviting. Third, the food is excellent. I lived in Los Angeles most of my life where there are, many great Thai restaurants. I think this is the best Thai restaurant I've been to in Southwest Florida. We ordered Tom Kha Gai, which was very flavorful. They control the heat/spice level very well here, btw. The Thai iced tea was excellent, as well as the Pad Thai and the Massaman Curry. Total cost was about $50. Portions were large and the ingredients seemed very fresh. Definitely enough food for us to take home for a second serving. Highly recommend on all fronts. read more

Surviving the pandemic deserves special recognition, especially for an Asian family run establishment. Finally leaving a review to organize my personal tips. Tamarind based pad thai with accompanying coconut soup for lunch is my favorite dine in. My wife prefers the red curry at mild spice level and eaten family style. For takeout, the soy sauce based pad see ew uses a different rice noodle which holds up better. The soup has to be purchased separately. Overall, three and half stars. read more

This restaurant hits the spot every time I'm in the area. Actually, it knocks it out of the park. love the family that owns the spot too.

First Thai place I tried in the SWFL area. For the first attempt, not bad. I had the drunken noodles(pad kee mao) Tom Yom Goong and pineapple rice. Compared to my previous experiences of Thai cuisine(lots because i love Thai food) it needs improvement. Would I order food from them again? Yes. read more

This doesn't look like much when you're walking by but it is a small family style, clean Thai restaurant. I have been here two different occasions and have not been disappointed and will continue to come back. During our first visit my husband and I tried the Thai iced tea which was delicious, I tried the chicken pad Thai, my husband had the combination fried rice and it was all very good. We came back for a second visit and I also tried some hot green tea, some spring rolls and the drunken noodles. My husband tried the happy three that came with white rice and we got the sticky mango rice for dessert. Everything was delicious and great friendly service. Will be back! read more

One of my favorite Thai dishes is Drunken Noodles and Thai Star's Drunken Noodles is delicious!!! I got it with chicken, added carrots and got level 3 out of 5 spice level, which had a good kick/spice to it (I like spicy) but not over-powering. Great flavor! Also, the chicken House Fried Rice was very good too! LARGE portions for both, many leftovers :) Definitely recommend this place, which is our new go-to Thai place in town. Got the food to-go but restaurant was very clean, staff was very friendly and wearing masks AND full face shields. They also have a few large TVs in the restaurant read more

I eat here probably once a week. The food is amazing but their staff is what keeps me coming back. The restaurant is always spotless when I go in, service is top notch and quick not rushed, food is hot and prices are so affordable. I have been coming for the last two years and look forward to my yellow curry every week. Best yellow curry in all of Florida! read more

This is a great place to get Thai food in the Fort Myers area. The lunch special is great. I usually get the pad thai and the coconut soup is included. The coconut soup is really incredible as was the pad thai. The gyoza was OK, but I don't think I would get it again. The service was great too. read more

Very good food , and I should have listen to the owner to get the large of their coconut noodle soup instead of their two mediums to go once I got home , it was 15-20 minute drive to the house... the noodles sucked up all the broth. It was still very tasty, but man. I sure was dumb as heck. I called them to apologize, and they were humble about it. They said that a lot of people doesn't listen and gives them a sour face about it. Lol a large , can be an individual soup or a shareable soup. They put the noodles and the broth separated . You can eat it anytime. Freeze the broth , they said. The noodles , you can get it at the Asian store . Only the large can be separated. The medium soup is sold as is not separate or they will charge a fee which I totally understand , because it's not same . Honestly it's so much better getting the large than the medium. Doesn't matter if you can't finish it, you can literally freeze the broth and have it any time. Don't get booty hurt if they tell you . You have to have it within 30minutes, for the medium size. And it's $7.95, for the large it's $13.95 with the noodles and broth on the side. (Now that's a better deal) . . Kickin wings 5/5 $12.95 Panang curry chicken Thai hot with extra peanut butter and crushed peanuts 5/5 $17.95 Thai green curry with shrimp , no bell but add broccoli , Thai chili peppers , and extra basil 5/5 $20.95 Coconut noodle soup 5/5 just as is no protein Mango curry duck, extra crispy and extra ginger and add pineapples 5/5 $ 31.95 Kanom Jeeb ( recommended by a friend ) 4/5 it's very different Moo ping ( if you don't like fat, then don't get it) sweet, savory and juicy $11.95 5/5 Lao papaya salad ( EXTRA EXTRA SPICY) 5/5 with all the stinky stuff ( y'all know it's authentic when it smells like fish sauce ) they can make the American basic white people papaya salad where they go eww is that fish sauce " those are the people who think they know what Thai food is because they've been to Thailand . (NO ONE CARES) Tom yum shrimp extra spicy ( SO GOOD) 5/5 Many more coming soon. I usually dine in here , take outs with the wife at home is so much better!!! Most times they are busy with takeouts when the dining room looks empty . And some times the dining room is full, but the take outs go by quickly. But other times , they can be busy busy! I really like Thai Star and lang xang! read more

Waitress was fast and food was delicious! The coconut noodle soup was amazing ...so good that I took a cup home with me as well. I ordered the Pad See ew...rice noodles sautéed with broccoli carrots and had a sweet soy sauce. I ordered it a 2 in spice but it wasn't enough for me. Only complaint is that I would have liked more broccoli with the dish. I'll come back here for lunch or dinner again. They were quick to bring everything out as well! read more

Nice place! Amazing fast service! Green curry was great and had lots of flavor. Portion sizes are big so you will have leftovers!

Mixed feelings about this place... I got chicken when i asked for beef. And for a higher priced restaurant I was disappointed with the tap water taste in the thai tea. However the food was incredible, best thai food i've had in this town. read more

This restaurant is not buffet style... made to order FYI. Tables/sit down My husband and I ate there last week and can't wait to go back! I had the Papaya salad, husband had the Laarb salad ( super flavorful) and also the Padseeu (sp ?) was fantastic! We both are connoisseur's of good Thai food and this place is up there with the best of them... just sayin! Little mom and pops. So I Love this little Gem... right off of Plantation Blvd. Must go!!! It's one of the best around/ authentic!! Pushing a 5, but a 4 is closer. Such Awesome Papaya Salad!!! read more

Curry shrimp was awesome. Service was great and food came out quickly and hot. Normal asian decor nothing fancy. Definitely will return.

Family run, personal service, delicious curry, pleasant ambience, priced right. We stopped on a Sunday evening with friends n I thought they were closed as there were no vehicles in the lot. So glad We did. The daughter n waitress asked me how hot did i want my curry. Oh ?? I thought, n settled, with her agreement, on "medium American." Perfect!!! A nice lingering after taste that stayed long after the meal was finished. "More rice" she dutifully asked when my plate had emptied of rice but had more meat n vegetables. Sure! Not just a cup but she brought out a serving bowl until I said "enough." Wait staff should be attentive n not obsequious. She n her father served us well. read more

I find any review of Thai Star below a 4 Star less than believable. My travels have taken me throughout Thailand and Thai Star, Bill, his Wife & Daughter put their talents, heart, and soul into delivering superior cuisine at a very reasonable price. How long have I been a customer? Since Day 2 many years ago. With confidence you can go to Thai Star and get a great meal. Mushy ill tasting meat? Doubtful. Dubious at best. read more

Upon my second visit to this place I've decided to update my review. This time around, my portions of meat were very skimpy. There was hardly any beef in my beef pad Thai at all. I may give this place one more try, but I'm severely dissatisified after my meal today. Almost $13 for a container of noodles and a few tiny pieces of beef. The taste was still delicious though. read more

I absolutely recommend! The shrimp pad thai and tom kha soup were delicious. The staff is also very friendly!

I loved my dining experience at Thai Star. The food was flavorful and the lunch menu was reasonably priced ($7.95 per dish). I had the Panang Curry with Chicken. The curry sauce was milky, flavorful, and had a slight kick to it. The chicken was very tender and the veggies were fresh. Overall, one of the best Thai dishes I have ever had. read more

Ordered the beef pho and chicken spring rolls. I hardly got any beef, the beef I did get was so tough, none of the sauces came with it (sriracha & plum/hoisin sauce) and the noodles were sitting in water and were mushy when it arrived. The spring rolls were over fried and when I called to complain they didn't care and said that they don't serve anything with the pho other than the noodles and that's how much beef they put in it. I've been eating pho for years, I know what's suppose to come with it. Seems like they were just lazy. $11 pho, how disappointing!!! NOT WORTH IT!!! read more

I just picked up my food for takeout. Massaman curry with chicken, green curry with chicken, and pad Thai with chicken. This review is only for the customer service experience. I have no idea how the food tastes yet. First, I think $13 for pad Thai is is a little on the pricey side. The other items seem to be a little pricey as well $16 for massaman curry? I asked that they would not use Styrofoam to package my hot food in. They did not argue with me, however, when the girl brought my food out she made sure to let me know that the plastic containers are expensive but for me they did it. Just knowing that the owner had his employee tell a customer that just paid $60 for takeout that the .50 cent container is expensive has me wondering about the food and whether I would return. read more
