This restaurant was a happy accident. We stumbled upon this place while driving down 66th street so our baby could sleep. I am so glad we ate dinner. The interior is modern and quaint. The dining room, an L-shaped space that opens to the kitchen which enhances your experience. There are not a lot of places to sit but that provides the charm. You feel as though you have been invited to their home not only because of the intimate dining room, but also because the staff welcomes you as though you have been given a personal invite. Once seated, the menu is not your typical Thai menu full of 50+ dishes. Instead it is placed on a wooden clipboard and divided into three sections. We ordered the egg rolls and pork jerky which arrived to our table simply placed. The pork jerky, tender and full of flavor. The egg rolls were crispy. Our entrees continued our culinary experience. My husband ordered the fried chicken which according to him was the stand out entree. The chicken was perfectly fried and bite delivered a juicy explosion of flavor coupled with a hint of lemon. I ordered the pad kee mao and to my delight, it was very spicy. I always order it spicy, but at other places have been disappointed. This is a new place and a welcomed addition to an already growing diverse food scene. It outshines other places in St.Pete and requires people to venture into Pinellas Park. I highly recommend this place to everyone who loves Thai food but more importantly likes to try new places. You will not be disappointed. read more

Great little Thai place with a fresh look. Want Thai food but getting a little tired of dried lifeless Pad Thai. This is your place to step outside of your comfort zone be rewarded by some new age Thai food. Reasonable prices and cool atmosphere, good service are a plus. We will be returning for sure. read more

Great food, great atmosphere (especially great music) Two thumbs up, pad Thai was dynamite. Fried rice with added basil was excellent. Thai donut with chocolate dipping sauce read more

Not sure what to write that hasn't already been written. The food is amazing and the entire presentation is not something you would expect to find in this area. I can't wait to get back here and try the other dishes they offer. Plus the owner is super friendly and approachable. read more

The food is excellent. The atmosphere is very nice and relaxing. Great staff. The food is served quickly and expertly done. Everything was fresh delicious. I can't wait to bring more people here. In fact I created a account just to review this fine restaurant. read more

Disappointing. I ordered pad thai and garden rolls. The pad thai noodles were broken and the chicken was dry. And there was barely any flavoring or peanut sauce or egg in the pad thai. When I paid cash they didn't offer a receipt. When I asked to speak to the manager they said they were out of town. read more

I had the Pad Thai Goong. It was very good. The sauce had nice flavor and the prawns were cooked just right. The portion size was perfect. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere with trendy decor. read more

Very fresh, tasty Thai. Friendly service. They make a creative, delicious meal with spice to your liking. So if you can't or don't eat spicy Thai, you can enjoy traditional dishes with a lot of flavor. The lunch special is a great deal and gives you a chance to try a few new items. Service is friendly and food is served quickly. A welcome addition to the neighborhood! read more

Highly disappointing. First time customer. Uber eats displayed 30 to 45 minutes for delivery. The order arrived one hour fifty five minutes later. I called and they didn't care. My visitors ended up leaving hungry and upset. The food was mediocre at best read more

Tonight I went there and it was good Thai food. The food was a little on the spicy side. We eat Thai regularly so please don't say "Thai food is supposed to be hot". That said the food was very flavorful. The Panang was rich and creamy, chicken was flavorful. The pad Thai was good a little on the sweeter side (that's the best way I can describe it) but also seasoned to my liking. Then we also had a basil Thai and vegetables and eggplant with chicken also very tasty and seasoned well. Vegetables were good slightly crispy but also very good. Loved the Thai tea very tasty tea accompanied heavy cream. And they had a new fried chicken wonton that was tasty. read more

Excellent food! Very cool decor. Best thai in the Pinellas park area. Well worth the trip if you live anywhere in bay area!

I just moved down the street from this new Thai place. We ordered lunch because it was easy to order online and run over to pick it up while we are trying to get settled in. The food is super yummy! I have to admit, Medium spicy is more than medium. And spicy is Spicy. So consider their options as the true Thai Hot. Other than needing to have a creamy beverage with my lunch to control my burning nose, we both loved it and we will make this a regular stop! read more

This place was great. Fine dining thai is the best way I can describe it. The atmosphere was stunning compared to what I expected. Exciting dishes with twists. read more

It was the perfect little casual dinner for us - fried chicken with rice and a curry with noodles and pickled greens - all quite tasty. Started with some refreshing garden rolls and finished by splitting coconut ice cream topped with beans and jelly. They pay a lot of attention to the look of a dish, as well as the taste - it was a very pleasant surprise, and we will be back. read more

I came from Connecticut to St.Pete and Clearwater for my vacation. Today I plan to have nice THAI for my dinner. I chose this restaurant because of the great reviews.

We ordered the crispy duck salad and pork ribs curry, yum!!! The ingredients were so fresh, flavorful and delicious. The decor is beautiful and the service was on point. We're definitely making this our new Thai restaurant! read more

We went here for dinner last night and are so happy we found a thai place close by! The ambience of the restaurant is so nice and the decor is wonderful. We ordered the steamed dumplings which were fairly good. Not going to lie, I've had better. But our main courses were well prepared and yummmmmy. I ordered the beef pad kee mao and it was so flavorful and delicious. The beef was a little over cooked but the noddles and vegetables were one of the best I've had in awhile! I ordered my plate thai hot and it definitely met my standards for spice!!! My boyfriend ordered the amazing sauce dish with beef, which was not on the menu but they were very accommodating. His dish was also full of flavor. Overall we loved the restaurant and the food too. We'll be back again! read more

Ordered from here via UberEats. We got eggrolls, vegetable curry fried rice, and Massaman beef curry. The eggrolls were standard and good. The flavor of the curry fried rice was REALLY good, but for $14, they skimped on the veggies - 2 chunks of pineapple, 1 basil leaf, 2 pieces of broccoli, 3 slices of carrot, and a bunch of peas and onion. Hopefully you get a better deal if you sit and eat there, but based on our order, I wouldn't order a vegetable entree to-go. The flavor of the Massaman beef curry was phenomenal...deep, rich, and spicy. However, the slow-cooked beef was very tough and chewy rather than soft and flavorful. Both of us loved the sauce, potato, and carrot but gave up completely on chewing the meat. We will try this place again based on flavor, maybe it was just an off night. read more

Loved the Chicken Tom Kha (coconut bisque) soup. Truly enjoyed the Pad Med Mamuang and Khao Pad Sapparod. Good sangria. Great decor and service. Will definitely go back. read more

I love this restaurant! I come once sometimes twice a week. No matter where im at in the world i have to have thai food! This is the place to go in Pinellas Park. Good food polite staff highly recommended. read more

My Favorite and the Best Thai In Pinellas Park. Good Tasty Food and best Service. Don't miss it if you live here or driving by.Lot of Good Vegetarian options available as well. If you are vegetarian don't miss Rama or Cashew stir fry or Massamun Curry you will not be disappointed . You can adjust spicy level as you wish . Don't miss out the crispy fries with special sauce . They have the most friendly customer service and take care of any special requests on the dishes. Try also the Panna Cotta and Mixed Berries Sauce Dessert or my all time favorite coconut and green tea ice creams . read more

Great menu, great food and atmosphere. Love the service. Very cozy restaurant and again the food is amazing.

Incredible me u with wonderful choices and variety. We ordered 4 entries to share among 5 folks and had plenty to eat. Each entree was delicious and the sauces were amazing. Wonderful Thai food with friendly service and a pretty decor inside. Try this place for great Thai food! read more

What a gem!! I drove by this place one day and after reading the reviews decided to check it out. I am so glad I did! It was a comforting place to relax and eat. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing. I ordered pad thai and it was not too spicy or filling. I felt full but not heavy. Some of the other dishes ordered with my party were drunken noodles, curry, peanut sauce with chicken and broccoli, fried tofu and edamame. Each dish had its own distinct unique flavor and I would order any of them over again! We will definitely be going back soon! read more

I'm giving this place two stars because the sauces were good. However, I ordered towards the end of the night and they delivered old rice that was crusty, the beef dish I read was supposed to have been cooked for five hours but it was hard as a shoe sole and the portions were small. I understand you are at the end of the night but don't serve people old food at all at this point. Just say you ran out instead of scraping crusty rice and old beef. Not very cool. read more

Wonderful experience here at Kao Thai. My friend and I drove down to clearwater from Atlanta and stopped by this place. Nice ambience, great service . I like their decoration. Hip, cool and very clean. Food tastes great and nice presentation. read more

Decided to try this restaurant due to the good reviews. I agree with the comments that the restaurant has a nice, clean and relaxing atmosphere. However, the Thai food that we had, Tom Yum Shrimp, Thai Pork Jerky and a vegetable dish with beef was bland and not very authentic. The soup had three pieces of shrimp and the main dish was all vegetable with just a hint of beef. Wanted to like this restaurant but this is off our list. read more

We have been coming here for a few months and the food is consistently awesome Even though we live on St Pete beach minutes from two very mediocre thai restaurants we always drive up here for thai Yesterday early evening I had a special. Yellow curry with poatoes carrot and my choice tofu. Came with indian roti bread. Outstanding Fried rice, noodles, curries are all excellent Service is also great read more

So glad we came here!! We were looking for an authentic Thai restaurant and this is it!! Loved our meals. I had pad see eu with fresh veggies and omg it was a flavor explosion. The noodles were had a nice chew. The veggies were so fresh and cooked perfectly! The BF got pad kee mao which he throughly enjoyed. He was worried about portion size because he is a huge eater but , portions were very generous. Service was great!! We are from Orange County California where we have plenty of amazing food options and we never thought we would find such a great Thai restaurant here in Florida. We will definitely be back.Btw, the atmosphere is sooo nice....makes you forget your in a strip mall in Pinellas Park. read more

Free appetizer with review! I will start this review while the food is cooking. I recall this location was an Italian spot. I love how they have transformed the space. The inside looks new and inviting. Dim lighting and candles make an intimate atmosphere. I like sitting where I can see the kitchen in action. I had the pad Thai shrimp. I forgot to request for hot spiciness, so it is my fault the dish was mild by default. This version was more sweet. The shrimp had a wonderful flavor and I even enjoyed some of the crispy shell. The app I selected was a spring roll. Fresh and it satisfied as the greens I was seeking. This place has a good stream of takeout orders. Great staff and attention. read more

Cozy and clean, dining area and kitchen. The staff is fantastic and the food is on point. Glad I found this place!

Best Thai in St. Pete hands down! This is a gem in pinellas park. This place should be in down town st. pete getting more attention that it deserves. I have tried every thai place around st pete and pinellas park to reassure my statement of this being the best thai. it can't be beat. the staff and owner are so nice and always give perfect service. due to my relocation for work I can no longer come here as much as i used to, but i can't wait to go back ASAP read more

I had the ga prow which was amazing!! Everything was delicious and the service and atmosphere was awesome, go check it out

New in town in the space that used to be D'Sesto. Truly a diamond in the rough. Great atmosphere, friendly and fast service, great Thai food, very reasonably priced. Ate there on a Saturday night and place was almost empty. I hope the word gets out as this place should be packed. read more

First time trying Kao Thai and we will definitely be back! The crab chowder special was very good. We tried the Rama and the Khao Pad. Both dishes had great flavor, were cooked perfectly, and there was enough for lunch tomorrow. Prices were very reasonable. Atmosphere was pleasant, music was fun. Nothing but great things to say about this place! read more

I'm very picky with my pad Thai and I only liked pad Thai from one place..until I came here. The pad Thai is amazing here. Great seasonings with a touch of sweetness which lowers the odor. An all over Great place to get Thai food with a mellow environment! read more

This small Thai restaurant has authentic Thai cuisine. Mango Sticky Rice is my favorite! Service is polite and efficient .
