I ordered 5 Thai Basil spicy fried rice & 2 Thai Basil mild fried rice but was given 7 Thai Basil Stir Fries. Instead of doing the right thing Bruno (employee who rang up my order) argued with me that I ordered the wrong thing and would not take the food back. I had to pay for 7 new orders of fried rice. I asked to speak to the manager but was told the manager is not at the restaurant.
I’ve spent a lot of money at this restaurant over the last couple years and will NEVER spend another dollar because of how Bruno handled this easy to fix situation. I would not recommend this establishment to anyone based on their inability to do the right thing!

My wife and I went to the Thai Cafe about two months ago, and we had the Pad Thai and it was excellent. It was on a Saturday evening, the waitress was so nice, and the food and atmosphere was great. Much better than the previous owner. So we thought, great, we won't have to travel to Tampa to get great Thai food. Well, we decided to stop by again on a Wednesday evening. It was completely different. There were two women from the children's Gym next door, and they were talking so loudly you couldn't hear the music playing in the background. They were talking about the other parents and how they were idiots and making other very derogatory comments. They weren't eating any food, just drinking lemon water, and the manner in which they were acting, you could tell this was a regular place to hang out for them. I asked the waitress if we could move our table a little further away, and she did. Her name was Apple. A few minutes later, 5 children from the Gym came in, and began to run around the table, laughing and playing. They sat down after the other two ladies said something to them, and they began playing on a mobile game console and laughing and playing, at the table next to us. Now understand, I have no issue with kids playing and laughing, but inside of a restaurant, when you are trying to eat, and have a moment of peace and quiet to enjoy your dinner, is not the place. I did now want to cause any issue, so I just kept my mouth shut. There were only two other people in the restaurant. Another lady waiting to be served like we were and a person waiting to pick up an order. There was so much noise that the other lady finally just got up from her table and left, without getting her food. She had had enough. We were almost at that point, when Apple brought our food to the table. I had ordered the Amazing Duck, and my wife ordered something with chicken in it. I am so glad that we took the time to talk about the food before we began eating, and my wife just started to put a piece of chicken in her mouth when she let out a little scream. I don't know what kind of insect or bug it is, but you can clearly see it in the picture. This is either a palmetto bug, or a large wasp, but it was under the first piece of chicken that my wife picked up to eat. I called Apple over and showed it to her, and said I want to talk to your cook. She apologized, and took it out to show to the cook, and she came back out and asked if we could wait another 15 minutes for them to recook the order. I looked at her and said, "why cant the cook bother to at least come out here and apologize for making this crap"? And she said, they were too busy to come out. So, I stood up, took my wife by the hand and walked out. I understand that when you are busy, you can make a mistake, but we were the only order he was preparing. NO ONE else was ordering any food! Now you take a look at the size of that insect and tell me, how could you possibly miss that when you are cooking someone's food. And then on top of that, you can't be bothered to come out and apologize for your actions. I know that they will never get a second chance to cook anything for me or my wife, and if you have read this far, then I would suggest you find another place for your Thai food.

I decided to ignore some of the reviews about flavor of the dishes and ordered pad Thai on Ubereats, but I wish I listened to the reviews... I was happy when the items arrived extremely hot even after the 30 minute drive for delivery and was even more satisfied when I saw the portion size, but the pad Thai had 3 pieces of chicken in it and was mostly a noodle bowl. It didn’t taste like much even when I asked for extra sauce (based on reviews stating dry delivery orders). Not terrible, but I wasn’t able to finish my food.

Tonight I decided to try something new and I’m glad I did. I ordered from this restaurant for the first time via uber eats and they didn’t dissapoint. Great portions and great food. The Pad Thai was a 10/10. Thank you for serving quality food.

Delivery Order (UberEats)

Love the fact they have an option for Brown Rice although its the same Chinese restaurant type Brown Rice all the others have. Still a nice Touch.

The Paid Thai -
Ordered it Spicy. Was not too spicy. Taste was on point. Was delicious actually. My only complaint was the lack of Chicken and lack of Vegetables. Taste wise, one of the best in the area. Would prefer a side of Thai Hot Pepper Seeds with it. Should of asked. Very Tasty Noodles also.

Pineapple Curry (Chicken) -
Ordered Medium, was too spicy for my wife (She's a light weight) but she LOVED it.

Amazing (Beef) -
Ordered Mild. Was VERY VERY VERY Peanuty. My wife thought a bit too much so. I rather enjoyed it.

Dumplings -
Different. Small Portion. Tasty Dipping Sauce that was better then Traditional Chinese Style Side Sauce. The Dumpling was VERY Tasty but VERY Small. Portion Size was underwellming.

Volcano Meatballs -
NO. These didn't taste very good to me.

All in all, there are not a lot of good Thai options north of Tampa. This one was pretty good and will be our Uber Eats Thai go to for now.

Absolutely LOVE this place. Their food is phenomenal and the service is spectacular. As soon as I sit down, the waitress is very attentive and when I ask for any modifications or alternatives they are very accommodating. 10 out of 10.

I've been wanting to try this place for a long time and finally got the chance today. We ordered sushi, parang curry, and pineapple fried rice for lunch for a total of $60+. Everything we ordered was underwhelming. My son, who can normally demolish sushi, didn't even want to finish them (Yummy and Crunchy roll). The panang chicken curry was so watery and lacked the usual panang taste. Additionally, there were only a few pieces of chicken. The pineapple wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I'm glad I got to try this place finally. But disappointed by the quality of food for the price that I paid.
