Don't let the limited seating or garage sale furniture fool you, this place is a true diamond in the rough. Absolutely delicious! I would say this is the best kept secret in Port Orange, but the secret has apparently gotten out. The wait just for to-go food last Thursday was 90 minutes, so it's best to go at off-peak hours.

We just want to speak on behalf of the review that was left by Juan below. We were in the restaurant and witnessed Juan having zero regard for the other patrons around him as he talked on FaceTime very loudly. Everyone could clearly hear their conversation. I think it’s odd for folks to go inside an intimate space and feel it’s ok to do this. It has zero to do with ethnicity and the waitress approached him in the sweetest way to let him know. This restaurant, staff and food is EXCELLENT!! We have been coming here for years. Never a bad meal. I would suggest Juan brush up on his table side manners.

First let me say that the food at Thai Kitchen is good. We have eaten there many times as well as having ordered take out. A week ago we ordered take out from Thai Kitchen By Saowanee. When we got home, we saw that they sent us home with five orders of the steamed veggies instead of the one order we had placed on the phone to go along with the two dinners we had also ordered. I called to report the mistake and the owner literally became aggressive and blaming and just would not stop ranting. When I had ordered this meal, I did ask the owner to repeat back the order. He repeated it back quickly and I didn't hear him say "5" steamed veggies. I suggested to him that the confusion may have happened as a result of our different accents from our cultural backgrounds and I just simply didn't hear him clearly. At that point, the owner became aggressive and called me racist. That was the last straw for me as his behavior was entirely inappropriate to a good customer. I became upset and told him I would return the four extra boxes the next day for a refund. The next day he did give me a refund, although he became verbally aggressive again at which point I became upset again. The bottom line is this....I have never in my 70 years of life experienced such rude and disrespectful behavior as I did by the owner of Thai Kitchen By Saowanee. I will NEVER give him our business again.

There was a hair in our food. It clearly wasn't ours. They took 15 minutes to decide what to do about it and ended up only giving us 50% off one entree. So $6 off a $35 order. How ridiculous. They didn't apologize for it either and on the way out, the waitress gave us a lot of attitude when I let her know we didn't have a good meal. Overall a very negative experience! We definitely won't be going back.

The food is very bland. We have ordered takeout here twice and were disappointed both times.
food was cold and disgusting, small portion for price, they would not refund or exchange for a different dish of the same price. ridiculous.

Solidly good food! We do take out and love the pad thai and pad kee mao-Crab ragoons are also well done.
