Thai Kitchen by Saowanee

Food was great. The restaurant has several shrines, I felt I was in Thailand. Atmosphere is traditional.

It was not fantastic most traditional dishes had many additional unnecessary ingredients while the taste or flavor was lacking. Worst tom kah soup had 6 plus extra vegetables broth was lacking the spice it tasted like milk
Pad Thai had chicken that was over cooked yet shrimp was cooked perfect

Not a great service or atmosphere. Not at all customer friendly. Service is not good and rude people also food it’s not worth the price or the ambience. Better places than this one. I apologise for the harsh review but just not happy with the restaurant and their policies. 18% force full service charge, though mentioned on menu in very very small letters still not at all Great service to pay 18% gratuity. Better authentic Thai places are available with better price and no hidden prices or fees

Worst place ever. First of all, they tried to charge me $5 just to substitute regular noodles with glass noodles. That’s ridiculous considering glass noodles are actually cheaper than egg or rice noodles. At other restaurants, substitutions like that cost maybe $2 at most—or nothing at all.

Second, we were a party of three, and when we asked for spoons, the server only brought two. After asking multiple times for the third, he just kept forgetting. Who eats soup without a spoon?

Third, we asked for the papaya salad to be more sour and salty, which is a very simple request—just add a bit more lime and fish sauce. But they flat out said they couldn’t do it, which makes no sense.

On top of that, they never gave us napkins during the entire dinner. I didn’t want to mention it at first because I was trying to be nice, but thinking back, it’s just ridiculous that a restaurant would overlook something that basic.

The worst part was when we left. A Thai female worker shouted at us—we thought maybe we forgot a card or keys—but instead she was yelling for us to take out our trash, which was literally just one plastic cup, or else she would charge us a cleaning fee. I have never experienced a restaurant demanding customers throw away their own trash like that.

To be fair, the food itself was good, but the service and attitude here were some of the worst I’ve ever encountered. Definitely not worth coming back.

I had a truly terrible experience here and will not be returning. First, the food was awful. The salad we were served had clearly gone bad — it smelled spoiled, and we didn’t touch it. When we mentioned this at the end of the meal, we were still charged for it. The rest of the food was just as disappointing.

To make matters worse, the service was extremely rude. Then, a 25% gratuity was automatically added to our bill. Mind you the rules say they’ll charge a gratuity if we are 6 or more. We were just 4 of us. Even after we asked for it to be removed, given the poor service and spoiled food, the staff refused.

Between the bad food, the dismissive service, and the unfair billing, this was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had.

Clean, nice atmosphere, not too loud. We had panang curry, golden spring rolls, fried tofu, and a house salad with peanut dressing. I only remembered to take pics of the salad.
All of it was delicious everything was a 10 except the tofu was a little overdone.

Fantastic food

Excellent choices and flavor! A bit cramped and no air conditioning in the summer in Florida was a bit uncomfortable, perhaps it was just temporary. We will definitely be back!

A few years back, I tried to go to this restaurant, but the agent lady at the door wouldn’t let me in. I looked around. I seen a couple tables open and a few spots by the bar open but told me I couldn’t come in. So I’m giving this place one star because they wouldn’t let me come in. I have no clue why.

1st time customer...restraunt was very busy, which is a really good sign. The food is amazing. We had the Spring rolls, Jasmine in the pool soup, and the Chicken Tom Kha soup all were delicious. Service was excellent.

We eat Thai food all over Central Florida about once a week. My Daughters beef was tough and tasted off. We asked if we could change and get her Thai basil rice with chicken. They refused and told us don’t come back. We paid , left our food there and we will respect their wishes and never go back there again. I have never been treated that way in a restaurant in my entire life and we eat out frequently. I am a small business owner, so I always try to patronize small businesses. In 30 years of being in business, I’ve never treated a guest in my establishment the way I was treated in this Restaurant.
