“Do not judge a book by its cover. The interior is neat and quiet. The service is awesome and the food is delicious. Will definitely go back.Dietary restrictions: I chose the duck dish. Which had a lot of veggies and a good size portion of jasmine rice.Kid-friendliness: They have kids menu.“
“Quaint. Good food. Younger servers very attentive. On top of all the nicety and needs. Some of the older servers rushed and didn’t listen to what was being ordered. Rushed us as we went around.Parking: It’s near a shopping center.Kid-friendliness: Lots of options“
“Had lunch. Was slow. The place has been upgraded over the last 2 years. The menu items are excellent. My guest and I had the Pad Thai and Massaman. Seriously, to die for. I've been coming here over 15 years. Love this place. The service is always great.“
“Waitresses are so kind. They were out of a certain dish but quickly offered replacement meals. I loved how attentive they were. There was a difficult customer who was giving a hard time to a waitress, and she handed the customer with such grace. Give that waitress a raise! I will be back. The hilarious review left by R. Thakkar is the angry customer in question that stormed out without paying; enjoy her one star review for reference. Love this restaurant, and the staff. Good job all around.“
“The Pad Thai is the best anywhere I've been, sweet and succulent. Chicken Panang Curry and the bento boxes are delish, too, making the choice hard. The ethnic decor and friendly service are wonderful, but it's the flavors that keep us coming back, year after year. Enjoy!“
“I order here off Doordash ALL the time! They offer so many deals on doordash, like happy hour, 15% off or a free item with a certain purchase amount. So I feel like they're super fairly priced. PLUSSSSS they are SOOOOOO good. Especially their Pad Thai, I normally get their sushi, but today I ordered their Pad Thai & it was phenomenal. I'll definitely have to come check them out in person soon! ❤️?“
“We were looking for a new Thai restaurant. Honestly, reading the recent reviews gave me some hesitation to visit, but it seemed the "new owners" were different but in the same family. Very friendly, too.We were pleasantly surprised. Ample potions of food at a reasonable price point, great presentation, and excellent flavor with just the right amount of spice. Even the flatware was premium quality.A lot of restaurants really pour on the food and, using "economy of scale", will charge another 20-30%. Not here. We got a Spring Roll appetizer (the largest rolls I've ever seen!), two dinner entrees, and to beverages. A small cole slaw, soup, and pork turnover started the meal, too, at no charge. Our bill came to $48.We'll be back!“
“Tried eating there for the first time since we moved to Safety Harbor and it did not disappoint. Walking in the front door the restaurant was nicely decorated and had lovely music. We were immediately greeted and were told we could choose wherever we wanted to sit. We chose to sit in a cute little booth covered with a canopy of beautiful shiny gold material. The staff were super friendly and attentive. There was so much food to choose from! From sushi to Thai food it was hard to decide what to try first but we ended up choosing the pineapple fried rice and Panang Beef with a Florida Roll on the side. Amazing food!! They also had $5 glasses of wine for Happy Hour from 3-6p along with $5 Sake. We will definitely be back and highly recommend. They also do a busy take out service but I would recommend eating there for a great atmosphere.“
“My husband and I have been looking for a new sushi spot for the last year. We finally found a new candidate, The Sushi Spot/Hibachi. I had the Dynamite roll which lived up to its name. My husband enjoyed the Vicki roll and the Sexy Man roll. What a contender.“
“Second time at Thai 5. Can not believe this place was here all this time tucked back in this strip mall. Beautiful, sparkly, ambiance and atmosphere. Friendly attentive staff. Large outdoor patio. Best Crab Rangoon in the area. We enjoyed the spicy salmon roll. Beautiful presentation on all the dishes. Very flavorful and thick sauce on the garlic black pepper chicken and pepper steak. Large portions, full bar. I wish we would have known about this place sooner. Thank you Thai 5.“
“Beautiful interior. Great variety of appetizers and main dishes. The option of Thai or Chinese is so interesting! Service was great; our waiter was quick, punctual, and a great conversationalist. Prices were very reasonable considering the size and quality. 10/10 would recommend!!!“
“Visiting Tampa from out of state and drove 20 minutes out of our way because we heard there was a great Thai restaurant known for their curry puff appetizer and noodle soups. Growing up in an Asian family, I LOVE brothy soups. We were not disappointed. I had the tom yum and my husband got their special tew nom tok. Both were very good. The curry puff was delicious and I recommend getting that as an appetizer. I will definitely stop ny again the next time we are in the area.“
“I’ve eaten Thai food in 37 states, 4 countries and this is by far the best. Service is great and quick, atmosphere is just fine. But the food. The food is something I have never experienced. The spice level was perfect. The flavor was packed into every bite with balance and uniqueness. The egg rolls has the perfect crunch, and the steamed dumplings made me believe in love again. The pad Thai (star of the show) had eggs cooked perfectly and served in my preferred way. I can’t complement this establishment enough. It is everything. Thank you for being a bright light in a sometime dark world. ❤️“
“Excellent restaurant and ambiance , equally good tasting food and sauces , great service by our server.Thank you - we were visiting Florida and we came in to this Thai food (our favourite cuisine) place, on the last day of your trip and you made our visit worth it. We would visit again when we are back.Special thanks to our server Ploy.. keep it up!??“
“Absolute hidden gem! Have eaten here several times and everything is just amazing. Staff is friendly, food comes out hot and fresh and prices are reasonable. My husband orders the pad kee mao and eats the whole dish every time, which their servings are rather large! I just get the chicken fried rice and it is delicious! All the apps we have had are tasty as well! 10/10 recommend!!“
“Ordered take out red curry chicken, spice was good, portion was just right, but I will order extra rice next time. Came with a side spring roll and fried wonton which was a nice surprise! Parking was tough, but it's at the beach, so that's to be expected. Order was ready and friendly with easy in and out pickup.“
“Love the variety of all the large, fresh cut steamed veggies hiding under all that beautiful chicken and AMAZING sauce. The crispy Duck was also great. Soup and salad yum! Service - very fast, friendly and helpful. We will be back to try more soon.“
“Amazing food! My family loves thai food and we enjoyed everything, so delicious.Very kid friendly and quick service.Kid-friendliness: They were so nice to the kids and even gave them free iced tea and rice, they did not have to but it was sooo nice of them. Love it, will be back.“
“Very friendly and eager-to-please owner who is beloved by his many repeat customers. Sometimes he's willing to prepare for me items at lunchtime that are only on the dinner menu.Not fast food. Everything seems prepared fresh, so there can be a wait. I dine here repeatedly for lunch, when I'm not in a hurry to return to the office.My favorite menu items are (raw) tuna salad, yummy chive pancakes, fried bananas, and salmon and tuna sushi.“
“The singapore mei fun that I had ordered was really good alongside with the fried pork dumplings. The dumpling were extra crispy like i asked the singapore mei fun was spicy and good. It’s close by so I’m definitely coming back for more food! Highly recommend for anyone enjoys or likes some good Chinese food.“
“Our little family from IL, with 3 teenage boys, needed a good lunch. Our flight the day before was delayed & we didn’t get in until 4:30am the next day. After a little sleep, we had lunch there, based off of the reviews. So glad we did! Smiley is an accurate description - such lovely ladies running the place! But it should also say: amazing food! We love Thai food & Smiley didn’t disappoint. Portions made all 3 teenage boys very happy (hard to do when they’ve missed several meals in a row - totally hangry!) & it was so good. We always try to support small business when we vaca & so glad we did. Give it a try - so good!!!“
“Don't let the outside fool you. This place has excellent food, service and atmosphere! We went at lunchtime on a Monday and were very pleasantly surprised. We were seated right away by a lovely hostess. We ordered Thai tea with the request to substitute coconut cream for the dairy cream(lactose intolerant), they had no problem with our request and it was so good! We also ordered the veggie sushi roll and pineapple curry. The sushi roll was quite large and very good. I had the pineapple curry with vegetables and my daughter had the same except with pork. Both were excellent and came with a small bowl of soup and a generous serving of jasmine rice! The portions were so large that we had to get to-go containers. I will definitely be a returning customer!Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options offered.Dietary restrictions: I was able to get their delicious Thai tea with coconut cream instead of dairy cream.“
“The food is delicious! The best Tom kha soup that I had. My family and I've been here a few time already and everything we've tried is delicious. The Thai tea is delicious too. The service is excellent. Pam is great and a very sweet lady. Overall this is hands down the best Thai restaurant in my opinion.“
“I just happened upon this lovely and yummy place! So glad I did! I ordered the crispy tofu with peanut sauce appetizer and the peanut sauce was divine and they fried the tofu perfectly! I ordered the Pad Se Ew for my entree and it’s absolutely delicious! Love the lighting and ambience as well. And my server, Dee, is a sweet delight. Will be back! Yum!“
“Such a soothing and restorative experience. They have sheer canopies and string lights above the booths and they played nature sounds over the top of music you'd hear in an anime when the main character is peppered with cherry blossom leaves while writing in their journal about the girl they have a crush on and end up marrying at the end of the series. The food was delicious and the staff was excellent and so nice. I would definitely eat here again.“
“I wish I had taken pictures of my food, but it looked so fabulous, all I could do was dive right in! My meal began with a delicious Tom kai ga. The bowl was brimming with veggies and chicken in a wonderful coconut milk base (geez I am salivating just writing this, lol!) The soup that I normally get is weak and sparse, so imagine my delight to find a place that was so generous in their servings?!!! My entree was huge! I ordered the rice dish with chicken and asked them to add basil. PURE HEAVEN! In a time where business owners are cutting corners and raising prices to make a profit, I was very surprised at the portions we received! Normally what I would get would be adequate, but at Thai Bay our eyes were def. bigger than our bellies. We ate so much that it was difficult to sleep that night. Yeah, we overdid it. Also, something to consider...I was asked how spicy I wanted my food. Normally I get it spicy. She suggested medium but provided a condiment tray with different methods to add to my love of spice. Medium was it! I didn't need to add more. Everything was absolutely perfect. I can't wait to go back.“
“Have eaten lunch here several times during our stay down here for the winter. Have had green chicken curry, red chicken curry and panang chicken. All are excellent and leftovers are excellent as well! Staff are friendly and very welcoming. Amarit has become a favorite of mine!!Parking: Amarit is in a strip mall with plenty of parking.“
“What a treat !! If you haven't tried this place out you are in for a very special event ! Not only is the food absolutely phenomenal, the service is top notch! This a a clean, inviting, laid back, and very friendly place ! The sushi is fresh with an excellent plate presentation! The Pad Thai is by far the best in town !! These guys do it right !!“
“Very pleasant atmosphere. Amazing service with happy faces!! Much appreciated.The cuisine is custom made. Nothing sitting in a pot waiting for somebody to order. Worth the wait. Fresh and tasty, with a crunch to the vegetables. Delightful!!Will we go back...do I need to answer...of course.Cheers“
“Went with a large group of ladies for lunch and had a fabulous meal! Most of us had not dined there before, but all of us will be back, some ladies ordered take-out to bring home for their families they enjoyed it so much!I know I’ll be back for sure!!“
“We first saw this local restaurant around July of 2023 when preparing for a wedding. next to this restaurant and I think they have just opened not long ago. It was afternoon and when we entered , a young nice gentleman greets us and told us tho sit at any table we prefer. We looked at the menu and I ordered the a salad with shrimp and rice . The sauce tastes so good but very spicy and I didn’t mind the spiciness . We have been going there ever since and we sat at the same table from day one and they know exactly what food we like . My husband had the duck with mixed vegetables and a bowl of rice and he loves it .“
