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.

The interior design was a cozy atmosphere. We were seated immediately and were given our drinks. The food was absolutely delicious and I was given a very generous amount of spicy tuna. Our server was very nice and helpful by bringing the manager/owner to our table because of communication issues. My only complaint is how our server was having trouble getting me my yellowtail rolls and seamed to not understand what I meant when I wanted a roll instead of regular sashimi, but it did get corrected and was made exactly the way I wanted. In the end I had a really great time and had very delicious food. I would come again.

Food was okay. They rip you off when you substitute for tofu instead of the meat on the dish. They charge $2 more. We all know that meat is more expensive. Once again, corporate greed.

Storefront doesn't match the ambiance inside - it's quite nice. Food exceeded our expectations.

TC, our waitress, was a real MVP. We had a great experience and the food was very authentic. If there was 6 starts I would give this place a 6 star review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ fun fact: found my favorite beer ever!

10 out of 10, great food, amazing service. We had the most friendly server, Angie, she helped me experience Thai food for the first time and it was delicious! We got to chatting and she actually moved here a few years ago from Bangkok. Talk about an authentic experience. My kids and family were full and happy, a great dining experience all around, highly recommend coming in and giving it a try, you won’t be disappointed.Kid-friendliness: They were willing to customize to my kids likes and dislikes.

I'm always suspect of fusion food. So often it ends up being a muddle that is worse than either is separately. But that's not the case here. Thai influenced sushi is a thing people need to try.

My experience at Drunken Poet Café in downtown Sarasota was very pleasant. Though it was a bit overpriced, the sushi & appetizers were good. Additionally, the restaurant had a very dark look. The staff were also nice.

I am deeply disappointed with the excessive amount of chives in my dumplings, which significantly detracted from my dining experience. While I must acknowledge that the pad thai was adequately prepared, it too was lacking in flavor and could benefit from enhancement. Additionally, the sushi fell below my expectations, primarily due to its overall blandness. These culinary aspects certainly require attention for a more satisfactory dining experience.

We went to dinner on President's Day, so parking was easy and free. The restaurant is cozy, and we were seated promptly. We had two different soups including wonton soup and they were absolutely delicious. They fit the bill on the cold evening. Our main dishes were the Pad Thai with chicken, and Penang Curry with Shrimp. Both were excellent. The prices are very reasonable. We have eaten here before and enjoyed this visit as well. We definitely will return.

Stopped in after matinee show at VanWezel. Awesome attentive service as soon as we entered. The tablet menus took a second for us seniors to understand. Loved the photos matching the sushi rolls. Fresh veggies in the Pad Park were great.Definitely will return.
