“ The food is really good. You can have a diversity of flavors in one dish. It's fresh, aromatic, flavorful and delightful. The service was really attentive and leaving space for you to enjoy the evening. Even the person in charge, came to our table and talk with us. I will definitely come again to the little LAOS place! Thanks for your hospitality and amazing food! ”
“ Everything was so good. We cannot say enough about this place. Workers were so kind and friendly the food was outstanding. We had pad thai with added protein shrimp. Tipsy noodles with chicken added and the dish was amazing. I read a review to try it so we did! So darn good! The sushi shrimp tempura was perfect! ”
“ They use the right spices alright! The most memorable aspect was the flavor bursting from every dish - the salt and pepper tofu and the the panang curry were amazing. I've been to many Thai restaurants and this is one of a kind. If I had to provide a negative, I would say it's that their soda is not refillable. It's by the can and at this time 2 per can. My boyfriend got the Thai tea and he said it wasn't as creamy as some places but the flavor was still good enough. But if you're looking for that creamier flavor it might not be for you. ”
“ We love it here! The staff is super friendly and all the food has been delicious. Some minor complaints were all addressed very quickly and we would go back in a heartbeat ”
“ Fast and friendly service. The waitress checked with the chef if certain dishes are or can be made vegetarian. I ordered tipsy noodles with fried tofu at a 5 of 5 spice level and thoroughly enjoyed my flavorgul meal. I was very surprised to find only few dining guests since I will surely be back. ”
“ Best Thai I’ve found in Tampa bay! And I’ve been looking. Owners are so kind and welcoming. “Tipsy noodle” aka drunken noodle/pad kee mao is really good. Best I’ve had in TPA Bay. Thick tender steak cuts with wok charred noodles. I’m a true medium spice girl. I want a burn and a little sweat. No pain. Spice 2 isn’t enough 3 is pushing it for me. But I ate almost the entire thing. And after a few minutes my mouth was a comfortable chili numb. I prefer the burn of 3 over 2 ”
“ Super cute! The rolls were absolute perfection. We ordered three rolls and appetizer and the house wine. All you Plum Wine lovers out there - this IS IT! Also-I know fried ice cream and WOW this was by far one of my top 3. Texture and temperature was ON POINT! Sang was out waiter, he was patient super nice and answered all our questions and made yummy recommendations. We’re coming back and bringing friends next time! ”
“ Best Thai food and sushi place ever in the Tampa area hands down! Definitely my two favorite types of foods combine in one restaurant it is so fresh amazing and authentic. Sushi is always fresh great quality melts in your mouth and flavors are amazing like no other around when it comes to the sushi and the dishes. The staff are always smiling and all amazing, sweet and welcoming. They make you feel like family. I’m definitely a regular customer Highly recommended! Please stop by here if you never been you won’t regret it. ”
