    Not a place I expected to find a good breakfast at a reasonable price. We were looking for a different restaurant but there was no wait to be be seated so we took a chance. The meal and level of service guarantees a return visit. The signature dishes were excellent and I guess I might even visit one evening or lunch hour to try the more traditional fare :)

    I got off of work early on a sunny Friday afternoon, so naturally we headed down to the beach! We just happened to park right in front of this restaurant, & after less than 2 hours of lying on the sand decided that we were starving & how about some Thai?

    There was a little girl walking around barefoot playing with toys & speaking loudly to the waitresses, who were wearing a "traditional" Thai dress... & tennis shoes. Sort of odd, but okay.

    I had the Squid Panang ($11.95) -- squid with coconut milk & Thai curry sauce, sauteed with zucchini & bell peppers. Sweetie had Beef Pad Se-Ew ($9.95) -- rice noodles sauteed with broccoli, egg, and sweet black bean sauce. His noodles were decent, though not the best we've had by a long shot. My curry was super tasty; I was practically -- no, literally drinking it by the spoonful & if it hadn't been in bad manners I would've picked up the dish & swallowed it all in one gulp!

    The rice was lukewarm but the curry warmed it up just fine. I had a glass of chablis ($3.75), & chilled it was perfect with the curry.

    It was a pretty good meal & if we happened to find ourselves (a) in Clearwater & (b) next to this place again, I'd probably wander back in, but I won't go out of my way to return.

    Good quality and tasty. They give you a lot of food, too - soup and spring roll before your meal. I had really been craving a Thai iced tea and their's did not disappoint!

    The decorations were nothing all the exceptional. The food was good. The food presentation was excellent. The owner who served us always had the biggest smile on his face.  He really made the experience enjoyable. He gave us very good service. I would go back next time I'm on Clearwater Beach.

    A family owned place which you could tell by the little girl riding around on her tricycle in the restaurant.

    Food was good

    Had the sampler platter for the appertizer, good but all deep fried
    Pad Thai (pork) was very tasty but pretty oily
    Green Curry Chicken was nice but needed a little more Green Curry
    Rice was cold when served but when asked for hot rice, there was plenty brought out.

    Would go again but would try a different curry and ask for hot rice when they serve it

    Very nice Thai restaurant near the beach.  It isn't new but we appear to be the first to review.  I had the Spicy Noodles and they were excellent.  My wife had the Pad Thai and she enjoyed it too.  We all enjoyed coconut ice cream for dessert.  I would eat here again.  No MSG (they claim).

    Not bad.....  not great, but not bad.  Veggies were fresh and cook properly (nice and crisp with a great wok flavor).  Pork and chicken were prepared well but they lacked some of that authentic Thai flavor.  maybe they ran out of the fat boy soy sauce....don't know.    Definitely put it on your list if you're in the mood for Thai.
