    Always consistent quality food. Our favorite is the red curry dishes. Waitress is helpful and friendly. Nice atmosphere and clean. AND they carry SINGHA. Nice and chilled.

    The dumplings are more like shumai

    The service and owners of this place are so nice and lovely folks so I hate to give this such a low rating (2.5 stars), but the Thai food just wasn't very good. This place is in Gulf Gate in a strip of stores with the typical Asian/Style decor and lots of wood. It was fine and plenty of seating. The food came out fast and they were very accommodating since we didn't even get there till 8PM and were the last ones there as they were closing up. Anyway, got the dumplings - it had a strange texture and chicken taste. Looked more like Chinese shumai than anything else. The chicken pad thai was a little to "runny" for me and saucy versus firm noodles. The Tom Kha soup had to taste to it really which was disappointing - it was like just some coconut milk and shrimp - zero flavor. The best part of the meal was the Vietnamese food. The pancake appetizer and Bun/vermicelli were pretty good. Maybe their backgrounds were more Vietnamese and I would try just that side of the menu again. I've eaten a lot of Thai food in both Bangkok and across the US and unfortunately, this doesn't compare whatsoever. I hope this place can do better, but it has to up it's quality of food.

    Beautiful place

    I've come down to Siesta Key each year and we've eaten at other Asian restaurants and have been surprised that I have never eaten here before, especially since it's close to where we go grocery shopping. I discovered this place since a friend of mine who used to live in Sarasota (and now lives in Tampa) drove down to meet me. We did a hot yoga class in the morning and she had recommended Thailand Restaurant for lunch since it would be close to where I was staying. It was still early, before they were technically open to serve lunch, but we went in and was allowed to be seated. I was so pleasantly surprised with the interior atmosphere. The outside stripmall is really deceiving. Ironically, I probably unknowingly have seen the restaurant and all the adjoining stores when I pull out of the parking lot of Sarasota Pavilion (where the Panera/Publix is). The booths is a bit more private (see photo that I posted), and even the bathroom (I almost took a photo of it) was so relaxing with its decor. The restaurant is much larger than the front room that we were seated in. There's another whole separate room that was darkened. It looked like it would be used for dinner as there was a bar there too. When I mentioned to my friend that the interior design was really nice, she did say, there's another restaurant whose even fancier decor but she does like this place and I can understand why. Service was very prompt which was great since we were starving. We ordered green tea to start, plus water to help rehydrate after hot yoga. This restaurant had both Thai and Vietnamese dishes to choose from. I have really come to love Thai food, especially since our eldest daughter had lived there for a year. I ordered the chicken pad thai, actually coincidentally, we both did. Our server was really good about our desire to have no nuts for my friend's dish, and to have the peanuts from mine put to the side (I wasn't sure if I was going to finish all of mine, and since my husband has peanut allergy, didn't want it to be in my leftover, actually she place it in a completely separate small dish). It was good portion size. The taste was good, chicken tender. The noodles were cooked just right with that proper elasticity. I personally like my noodles to be a little more moist, and this did have that. I asked for mild (aka, no spice; since I'm a wuss with heat) and I kinda wish I asked for just a tad since I know after a hot yoga class, I'm a little dehydrated so flavors aren't as prominent tasting then. Before the pad thai chicken came out, we had spring roll and soup which came with our lunch entree. Gotta love that - what a treat. We both didn't finish our dish so we got to have box to go. I'm a big eater, and being as hungry as I was, I was very surprised that I did have leftovers, and it was a good size portion left. I wish I took a photo of the entree to check back on it. I completely forgot to take the pix of it since after having the spring roll and soup, my mouth and stomach were ready to go! Yet, I was wondering if perhaps it was also because we were catching up on so much. All I can say is, my husband loved the leftover and it was enough for both of us. Again, service was great. It was a little strange as she came back often and even gave us our bill. In my mind, it felt like to rush us out, but there were plenty of other seats. Though it was most likely for prompt service as we continued to stay there and talk even after paying for the bill. The price of this lunch was such a great deal. I compare it to lunch prices that I have from where I live, and would not have expected the entree to be only $8. . . again that includes the spring roll and soup. I'm a fan of this place and look forward to next year's vacation so I can take my husband there.

    Dried up egg rolls

    Horrible. Egg rolls were dried out and freezer burnt. Their version of Crab Rangoon (named something else) was ok with a strong curry flavor, but my husband liked them. Chicken Satay was dry. Drunken Noodles with beef, terrible, beef was so tough it was not edible.

    Spicy chicken, pad Thai, chicken fried rice

    Sooooo delicious! Their pad Thai taste like it was made by Thai Angels. Also love their chicken fried rice, curry, dumplings, soup and egg rolls.

Our server was friendly and made an amazing recommendation. Ordered the Clear soup. Came to the table hot and well flavored. Then ordered the pineapple shrimp fried rice.

Definitely would order again. First time here and will be back. Absolutely recommend for lunch or dinner, date night, business or girls night,

Our waitress was exceptional and guided us through the iPad menu to a wonderful and diverse selection of meal options for sharing. We had one from (almost) each section of the menu for a fun combination of flavors. Our group leaned into the vegetarian bowls and had drunken noodles, Kang of Massaman, Spicy Fried Rice (we kept the spice separate to meet individual spice preferences), Veggie Pad Thai, Sweet Potato Makimono Roll, the Mild Spicy Main Street Roll and THE BEST Crab Rangoon we've ever had - there is a reason they say the Plum Sauce is famous. Would definitely recommend.
