“We first saw this local restaurant around July of 2023 when preparing for a wedding. next to this restaurant and I think they have just opened not long ago. It was afternoon and when we entered , a young nice gentleman greets us and told us tho sit at any table we prefer. We looked at the menu and I ordered the a salad with shrimp and rice . The sauce tastes so good but very spicy and I didn’t mind the spiciness . We have been going there ever since and we sat at the same table from day one and they know exactly what food we like . My husband had the duck with mixed vegetables and a bowl of rice and he loves it .“

“First time here tonight. Definitely won't be the last. Very unassuming from the front, tucked into the corner of a strip mall. Pleasantly surprised how nice the inside was. Great decor and ambiance and clean! Excellent service and food was the best anywhere in the Tampa area. Ten thumbs up!“

“Second time at Thai 5. Can not believe this place was here all this time tucked back in this strip mall. Beautiful, sparkly, ambiance and atmosphere. Friendly attentive staff. Large outdoor patio. Best Crab Rangoon in the area. We enjoyed the spicy salmon roll. Beautiful presentation on all the dishes. Very flavorful and thick sauce on the garlic black pepper chicken and pepper steak. Large portions, full bar. I wish we would have known about this place sooner. Thank you Thai 5.“

“Visiting Tampa from out of state and drove 20 minutes out of our way because we heard there was a great Thai restaurant known for their curry puff appetizer and noodle soups. Growing up in an Asian family, I LOVE brothy soups. We were not disappointed. I had the tom yum and my husband got their special tew nom tok. Both were very good. The curry puff was delicious and I recommend getting that as an appetizer. I will definitely stop ny again the next time we are in the area.“

“I’ve eaten Thai food in 37 states, 4 countries and this is by far the best. Service is great and quick, atmosphere is just fine. But the food. The food is something I have never experienced. The spice level was perfect. The flavor was packed into every bite with balance and uniqueness. The egg rolls has the perfect crunch, and the steamed dumplings made me believe in love again. The pad Thai (star of the show) had eggs cooked perfectly and served in my preferred way. I can’t complement this establishment enough. It is everything. Thank you for being a bright light in a sometime dark world. ❤️“

All the apps we have had are tasty as well! 10/10 recommend!!“

“Friends brought us here post Spring Training game when the first place we went was closed on a Monday. And so glad they did! It was super quiet, but we were glad for the peace and cold after the hot day. Service was friendly, fast, and efficient. We started with the Egg Rolls. Vegan, with no meat, but loaded with veggies. They came out SUPER hot and had a delicious sweet Thai chili sauce accompaniment. Also included, without ordering, was a small salad with ginger dressing. The dressing tasted super fresh and yummy. Our entrees were the Amazing Tofu, a peanut and coconut milk sauced Asian vegetable and tofu dish; and the Tofu Red Curry. The peanut sauce was super thick and very peanutty - delish! I loved that there was PLENTY of sauce on the meal, and also to slather on the enormous bowl of rice that came with it. I do wish I had asked for brown rice, but my bad. The only disappointment was that there was zero spice in the sauce, which I was surprised about considering it's a Thai restaurant. I usually order Thai Hot, with lots of spice, but this was the one time the waitress did not come back fast enough for me to ask for a spice tray to jack up the flavor. It was so good even without spice, I ate too fast to bother asking for it by the time she came back. AND, it was a large enough portion that I took half of it home! Hubby had the Red Curry, and said it was delish, although he would liked to have had more spice too. Our table mates ordered Amazing Tofu and Ginger Tofu. It was apparently enjoyed also, cause no leftovers! To the owners....maybe have servers ask EVERY customer how spicy they like their meal, and it'll raise that four stars to a five! We'll be back...and soon!“

“First, the food is excellent, the staff is curteous and it is well decorated. The menu is HUGE! The name in front of the restaurant includds "brewery" but they only have 4 beers, which includes a good IPA. I tried a Tamp Roll which I liked! Try it, it is worth it!“

“I live close by so it is easy to pop in and pick up some take-out. Prices are reasonable and the food and sushi are good. If you like papaya salad It's not on the menu so you have to ask for it. It is "seasonal" so it may not be available all the time. I like mine "Thai Hot". YUM! Thanks Thai Orchid and happy 2022.“

“Our little family from IL, with 3 teenage boys, needed a good lunch. Our flight the day before was delayed & we didn’t get in until 4:30am the next day. After a little sleep, we had lunch there, based off of the reviews. So glad we did! Smiley is an accurate description - such lovely ladies running the place! But it should also say: amazing food! We love Thai food & Smiley didn’t disappoint. Portions made all 3 teenage boys very happy (hard to do when they’ve missed several meals in a row - totally hangry!) & it was so good. We always try to support small business when we vaca & so glad we did. Give it a try - so good!!!“

“I have been looking for a Thai place since my old place closed several years ago. Pad Thai is my dish and I feel like, if you can make this well, everything else should fall in place. I have been to many Thai restaurants that are average at best and while I can dress it up, it just makes me miss my old place more. This restaurant is family owned and operated. Some of the best restaurants I have been to have been family owned. When I saw this place and pictures of the food the grilled squid caught my eye and I was excited to try it. When we got there we ordered the grilled squid and chicken pad thai. The squid was amazing and my wife couldn't get enough of the dipping sauce. When we got the pad thai it reminded me of my old place but this one may have been a little better. The service was great and attentive, I believe our server was the daughter. Overall an awesome experience! On the way home my wife and I were planning our next visit! lol!“

“Brought a friend here for vacation and he is willing to come back just for the food. Yum seafood was fresh with bold flavors and the panang crispy duck was phenomenal. Alot of Thai restaurants in st.pete but places like Sawatdee are authentic, and its more than money when it comes to the food they serve.“

“I just happened upon this lovely and yummy place! So glad I did! I ordered the crispy tofu with peanut sauce appetizer and the peanut sauce was divine and they fried the tofu perfectly! I ordered the Pad Se Ew for my entree and it’s absolutely delicious! Love the lighting and ambience as well. And my server, Dee, is a sweet delight. Will be back! Yum!“

“Visited this place on our trip to Clearwater and absolutely loved the ambiance and the delicious food. We ordered, Tom ka soup, spring rolls, Pattaya fried rice and Siew noodles with chicken, it was beet flavorful and delicious. The spice level was perfect for medium spicy. I wanted to take a star away for service but I didn’t because only one person was working on taking orders, bringing food and taking to-go orders. She did her best single handed. The food made it all worth it. This is the best meal we had on this trip. Gave a feeling of home cooked, non greasy, flavorful mouthwatering food.Dietary restrictions: GF and DF friendly“

“Had to leave another review because we came back here a couple weeks ago and this place was a lot better than the first time we came. The fish was great tasting and fresh and I loved the roll I ordered. I think it was the muscle man roll ... it was a deep fried roll with salmon and yellowtail. We also tried the beef spicy basil noodles and they were sooooo tasty. We did not re order the pad Thai because of our last experience , but I wonder now if it has been improved.“

“I wish I had taken pictures of my food, but it looked so fabulous, all I could do was dive right in! My meal began with a delicious Tom kai ga. The bowl was brimming with veggies and chicken in a wonderful coconut milk base (geez I am salivating just writing this, lol!) The soup that I normally get is weak and sparse, so imagine my delight to find a place that was so generous in their servings?!!! My entree was huge! I ordered the rice dish with chicken and asked them to add basil. PURE HEAVEN! In a time where business owners are cutting corners and raising prices to make a profit, I was very surprised at the portions we received! Normally what I would get would be adequate, but at Thai Bay our eyes were def. bigger than our bellies. We ate so much that it was difficult to sleep that night. Yeah, we overdid it. Also, something to consider...I was asked how spicy I wanted my food. Normally I get it spicy. She suggested medium but provided a condiment tray with different methods to add to my love of spice. Medium was it! I didn't need to add more. Everything was absolutely perfect. I can't wait to go back.“

“Their food is amazing and their staff are excellent! We had a party of 5 and they gave us an extra spring roll because there were only 4. Not only did they do that but they accidentally gave us an extra plate of fried tofu and decided to let us keep it as well as take it off our bill!“

“The Pad Thai is the best anywhere I've been, sweet and succulent. Chicken Panang Curry and the bento boxes are delish, too, making the choice hard. The ethnic decor and friendly service are wonderful, but it's the flavors that keep us coming back, year after year. Enjoy!“

“2024-03-17I visited this restaurant for the second time and ordered vegetarian sushi and Pad Thai. The food was delicious, especially the Pad Thai, which I enjoyed a lot. The service was excellent and very fast. Overall, I had a tremendous experience at this restaurant.2024-03-02Nori Thai is a Thai restaurant that offers a wide variety of Thai and Asian foods, including an extensive sushi selection. The service is fast, and they have an excellent selection of vegetarian options. The portions are generous, and the fish dish is noteworthy for its size and taste. However, the vegetarian curry I ordered was a bit hard, and I would have preferred it to be more tender. The restaurant also provides cocktails and drinks. I recommend this restaurant for its delicious food.Vegetarian options: I'm vegetarian, and I found an extensive selection of vegetarian options.“

“Ordered take out red curry chicken, spice was good, portion was just right, but I will order extra rice next time. Came with a side spring roll and fried wonton which was a nice surprise! Parking was tough, but it's at the beach, so that's to be expected. Order was ready and friendly with easy in and out pickup.“
