“This place has authentic flavor and taste. When they say "Thai Hot" they mean it. The heat and flavor is incredible. I had the Pineapple Stir Fry, Crab Rangoons and Chicken satay. I would definitely recommend all this and more. The taste is amazing. The service was awesome and the place was very clean!! Big heck "YES"!“

“Paya Thai is our Sunday tradition… it is that good! We do take out and have yet to eat inside. There is always a wait, but it is worth it.. the food is always hot and delicious! Highly recommend trying their Krab Rangoon, Tom Kha soup and Panang Curry.“

“We came here on a recommendation , and it was well worth it! They have a great white board waiting list system right outside their door, with chairs so the inside does not get crowded… as the crowds are very heavy here. We waited about 15 min for a table for two. We stuck with the sushi menu and went a little crazy ordering as everything looked incredible. They also give you a marker and you can write on the menu which items you like. The quality is excellent. We truly enjoyed our experience here. I highly recommend it!“

“This place not only has delicious food and provides gluten free and vegan options. It also has yummy boba and the interior is gorgeous! Sit in or out with lots of plant friends! Such a vibe and great place to get with friendly staff! Cant wait to go back!“

“We've had a tough time finding good Asian food since moving from Tampa, but this place is absolutely a keeper. My wife has been craving pad Thai since the last unsuccessful attempt and Tropical Thai did not disappoint. The pad Thai was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked, amazing flavor.I had the fancy duck which was also excellent. The duck was moist while the skin was crispy and everything was very flavorful.The owner was very personable and attentive and we didn't wait for anything. It's no wonder this place has been in business 27+ years!If you want really good, authentic Thai food go to Tropical Thai!“

“Old style ornate Thai with partly curtained booths obviously loved by regulars. The wonton soup full of fresh vegetables, home broth and full of beautiful fresh vegetables was a star surprise. The watery broth in the vegetable pork looked boring as 1950’s chop suey, but in one bite was yet another healthy surprise of flavors that surpass the usual strip mall Chinese bottled sauce of excess oil and salt. Nearly empty at five, even center filled by 7. A secret gem“

“Amazing!! Hands down the best in sarasota! The food is so fresh tasting! Extremely Friendly and fast service. I cannot say enough good things. A million stars out of 5. My family will be regulars! My picky elderly father even loved it. My 12 year old says, “it’s amazing!!!”“

“Now I get why this place was so busy on a Tuesday night. ?We ordered both from the sushi menu and the Thai menu and both were very yummy! I especially loved the volcano roll and the shrimp summer rolls. The peanut dressing that came with them was very flavorful and delicious. Will definitely be back ??“

“Passing Sarasota and found this awesome gem. Lovely interior & clean restroom. We had a terrific lunch! The coconut soup & veggie potstickers were delicious. My brother really liked the 4 appetizers he sampled. All with a nice presentation. Highly recommend!“

“As other reviewers have mentioned, the service here is ... unusual. The approach of the wait staff to customers is quite abrupt. As an example, we asked to keep a menu, and the waitress told us no. She said if we decided we wanted to order something else later we could ask her for the menu and she would bring it back. We also asked for silverware to eat our dessert because it looked delicious, but was too hot to touch, and she said that wasn't appropriate because the dish was meant to be eaten with your hands. This is a fair comment, but it's just a little unusual in terms of the service industry in Venice, Florida. If you come to eat here early, they also are definitely trying to rush you out to make room for the diners later in the evening. Service is very efficient, but I think the expectation is that you'll be in and out in less than an hour. Happy crab: this is a whole fried crab with tasty sautéed vegetables surrounding it. I ate the whole thing and had no leftovers, even though it was a giant portion. A word of warning, I don't mind when fried things get soaked and sauce, and then somewhat mushy, that is what this will taste like to you, so, if you don't like your fried things to be smothered in liquid, order a different dish. Comes with sticky rice that was also quite good. 5/5 Cashew sauté: this was not great. Very few cashews, and the flavor was a little lackluster. Vegetables were cooked OK but as I said, just a bit flavorless. 2/5 Parking is very easy, this restaurant is in a strip mall so if you make it to dinner early, there'll be no trouble with parking. The dining room was empty on a Thursday at 5:15, we had made a reservation anyway, but it was definitely full by the time we left at 6 o'clock.“

“This is an all-around solid restaurant. Excellent food and service, served up in a well-appointed dining room and bar. We have gone there several times during our three week vacation. We eat at the bar. The bartender, nicknamed "Golf" (pictured), is super friendly and makes great drinks, always going out of his way to delight his customers, even playing a trumpet occasionally! Every dish we tried has been excellent, with the exception of the Crab Rangoon, which we found to be just okay. We only had sushi once but it was very good. Our favorite dish is Pad Kee Mow. We take the seafood option as an addition. It is not too spicy with a wonderful blend of veggies and noodles. You can choose other additions if seafood is not your taste. An overall great experience.“

“Pretty Thai restaurant tucked into a strip mall right on the corner. I smiled the moment I walked through the door! Natural wood on the walls and carving everywhere, big beautiful chandeliers, and sparkling white lights. Never seen such a beautifully decorated Thai restaurant before. And they also put the same effort into the food presentation. The actual dishes are custom-made and everything comes out appealing. My spring roll was crispy and light. Ordered one of the chef's specials, chicken and broccoli in a tasty brown sauce. Yum.“

“Had a midday week dinner with my boyfriend. Ordered the pad Thai with veggies. A soup and spring rolls as appetizers. All very tasty. I would go back especially for soup. My boyfriend ordered his entree and ended up getting another to go.Very tasty food.Vegetarian options: Veggie options and non meat“

“Ordered a pad see ew with chicken. It tasted good yes but it was not the wide thick noodles pad see ew should be with. These were almost like linguine size which is not what the meal should be with. Also was missing the green leafy veggie that pad see ew comes with.“
