“I can't remember when I've had food this good. This afternoon my wife and I ate here for our first time. My wife had the dumplings which was excellent and I had the spicy basil chicken which was truly amazing. We will be back again and again. AND they were so nice. BTW: it's cash only which was totally OK.“
“I've been here plenty of times over the years, but the last visit missed the mark compared to other times and feels very much like shrinkflation to me. Perhaps one of the most important things I consider next to taste is if the meal is satisfying, and my lunch did not fill my stomach. I got the larb kai, like a hot salad dish with ground chicken. It certainly did taste good, but I would have liked the portion to be bigger for it to be about $15 after tax. The complimentary soup and egg roll are also a smaller amount/shorter roll than ever before. I don't believe my soup bowl was filled even 1/4 of the way up the sides. Would come back again but it'll be a while. I hope the value evens out, if a little more could be served. People don't like leaving hungry.Parking: The San Marco plaza may have limited parking at peak meal hours since it's not very big. Might have to drive around to find a spot“
“My husband is a Thai fanatic. He absolutely loves this place. The food is fresh and tastes fresh. The Tom Kha soup is his favorite and everything I have tried from the soup to the rice to the noodles are delicious. And of course, excellent service.“
“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!“
“I’ve always said what Sarasota is missing is good late night options for more than just the weekends and this place is just that. Found it on Uber eats the other night when I was craving something better than greasy fast food. I got the spicy broth ramen and it was amazing and definitely spicy!“
“We’ve been regulars since they opened. Living in the Rosemary they’ve been our go to for great Thai and Japanese cuisine. Staff is welcoming and helpful. Prices are reasonable, especially in this small city that has suddenly morphed itself into Manhattan priced pretentiousness.“
“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"!“
“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“
“The Best…aroouund (cue Karate Kid song). We recently moved south and miss this place a lot. The food here is excellent. I always get thai hot chicken pad thai, and it couldn’t be better. Got my parents addicted to this place since they live around the corner. I make it a point to order from here when I visit. Super friendly service, always accurate on the orders, always fresh and delicious. As someone that loves thai food, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ESTABLISHMENT.“
“New owners, new name TIN, updated restaurant. Delicious food. We were looking for Vietnamese food near us, this place was reopened under new ownership just one month ago. Very clean simple decor, the food was really good. The owner recommended their fresh spring rolls with pork, wow, spectacular, truly fresh with a secret crunch, the thinly sliced pork perfectly tender, the vegetables crunchy and delicious. Perfect appetizer for the entrees, the Bò Lúc Lắc (Vietnamese Shaking Beef) was a perfect blend tenderloin, with a salty and light sweet sauce, great flavors of oyster and soy sauce, onions and peppers, spicy jalapeño peppers optional, accompanied with white rice and fresh cucumber, lettuce salad. So good! The vermicelli noodles with shrimp were very good, the shrimp were brushed with a lovely sauce and grilled to perfection, light sauce and bits of fresh vegetables and a touch of cilantro. This place seems like a breath of fresh air in an area that needs good food. They also offer sushi and Thai dishes. Try it out!“
“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!!!”“
“First time I tried this place, the food was delivered 40 minutes early (she said they weren’t busy) hot and delicious. I got the Singapore noodles with chicken. Fresh noodles, ordered spice on the side and did not eat it, but I don’t do real spicy. The pan fried potstickers were delicious too. They use the thin wrappers not the thick wrappers. There was a promotion for free pork and egg fried rice if you ordered a certain dollar amount. The rice could have used more egg and pork, but it was free and the flavor and consistency were good. Happy to have found a delicious Asian deliver place!“
“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 ??“
“Always a great experience. Amazing service and even better crab rangoons! Seriously they are the best in town, full of flavor unlike your ordinary crab Rangoon. I’ve liked everything I’ve tried, food always comes out hot and fresh. Try the baby octopus salad you won’t regret it!“
“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!“
“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“
“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.“
“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.“
