Easily the best pad thai I’ve ever had in my life. I will definitely go back soon; I need to try their curry.

Spicy Noodles are always my go to here! They are very spicy I recommend no higher than a 2/5 on the spice level if you’re at all sensitive to spicy foods.

If you're looking for an authentic Thai experience in Tampa, look no further!The moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly waiters who spoke Thai fluently. It was a delight to practice my limited Thai with them and feel the genuine warmth of their hospitality.The menu offered a wide selection of classic Thai dishes, and I opted for the Tom Kha soup and Pad Thai. Let me tell you, the flavors were absolutely phenomenal! The Tom Kha was bursting with a rich coconut milk broth, perfectly balanced with the fragrant lemongrass and the right amount of spice. The Pad Thai, however, was a revelation. This might be the best Pad Thai I've had outside of Thailand! Perfectly stir-fried with fresh ingredients, each bite was a delightful explosion of sweet, savory, and tangy notes.This restaurant clearly takes pride in using authentic recipes and fresh ingredients, and it shows in the quality of the food. It's a true taste of Thailand right here in Tampa.If you're looking for a delicious and authentic Thai dining experience with friendly service, this place is a must-try. You're missing out if you haven't been yet!

We drive by here all the time and finally went in to try it! The indoor seating area was a little stuffy, but they have a very nice outdoor patio area that was pleasant to be in.The service was good and very friendly! The food was also very good, my only complaint would be that the portions were kind of small for the price. It was definitely enough for a meal and I was full, I'm just used to having leftovers and we didn't have any here.The appetizers were all very good, but my favorite was the spring roll.They also no longer have the Hawkers Street Food Menu

I'm sorry we came for the reviews but was disappointed in the portion and quality of food in relation to prices. Yes considering inflation was still less than fair. Very small portions. Fork for scale on pad Thai 15$ meal that was dry and served in an appetizer plate. The appetizers and entrees were all very small.

Had the duck, seemed like they ran out of duck and gave me whatever pieces they had left. It was soggy and salty. The fried rice was good, but very disappointed about the duck.

I come here all the time because I feel like I'm getting a real Thai experience. The staff is absolutely wonderful and are truly there to serve you. Inside it feels cozy and intimate with beautiful decorations all around. Most importantly the food is phenomenal. I am never displeased with quality, quantity, or flavor. If you are really looking for the best Thai restaurant, this is the place to go, hands down!Wheelchair accessibility: They have an accessible ramp right up the side for easy mobility.

Great Thai food. They are a little short staffed but over all service and price point is great. The decor is a little dated if you don't mind the minor details I would recommend this place for lunch or Dinner. Oh and FYI if your not used to spices don't order above 3 ?Parking: There is about 20 spots five or take for parking very small area big trucks may be better off parking on the street.

Kind staff and delicious food. Scallops were jumbo, juicy, and perfectly cooked (so many places overcook scallops!). Pad thai was authentically seasoned.
