    Drunken noodles
    Rachel L.

    I'm honestly surprised this place is rated so highly. While the food was edible, it didn't really wow us. The tom yum soup had a nice spicy kick, but the shrimp had a slight freezer-burn taste. I ordered the sweet potato salmon dish and was disappointed that the salmon was overcooked. The drunken noodles were a bit on the salty side, though not terrible. Overall, it's an "okay" spot, but it wouldn't be my first choice for Thai food. That said, the service was very friendly, the restaurant looked clean and well-maintained, and the Thai tea was delicious.

    Pad Thai

    Wow. Just wow. One of my favorite restaurants in Tampa. The service is AMAZING. They remember me every time. And I've only been 3 times. They are family owned and you can taste that in their food. Their whole menu is to speak for. It is delicious from appetizers to dessert. And let's not forget the ambiance. They put so much work into the design on the inside. I hope they are here for 30 years + more!!

    Crab Cake Dinner ~ Enjoyed
    Susan T.

    Paul's is a diamond in the rough. I am so lucky to have stumbled upon this place a couple of years ago . It lies in a very unassuming strip center. It has just a handful of tables so I would suggest making a reservation. Very tasteful decor. Service was excellent. Staff is grateful and very unassuming. Everything I've tried here has been delicious from the noodle dishes to the grouper to the crab and ahi tuna. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Come check it out.

    Chicken Pad Thai

    This was a random "where should be go to dinner and what's around where we are" yelp find. We weren't sure what to expect but was definitely blown away. Every time I see fusion on a restaurant, it's either gonna be really good or very disappointing and overpriced. Paul's was really good and the price was pretty fair for the portion especially with their location and amazing service to boot. You could go in there dress up or down (like we were lol) and it would've been fine. It would be a nice date night spot too!

    Tofu Pad Thai
    Katherine G.

    This was the best Pad Thai I have ever had! The drunken noodles were delicious as well. You can tell that all of the food is made with love. Our server was very kind and took great care of us. We will definitely be back soon!

    Went for lunch on Thursday, pretty empty? We were seated right away and got our order quickly too! Quiet and small with booth seating, everything was tasty, nice spot for lunch! Finally visited since they added more vegetarian options which is always nice!

    My experience at Paul's Fusion Kitchen was exceptional. As soon as I walked in I was greeted ever son nicely and sat immediately. I loved the intimate feeling of the restaurant. My food came out pretty fast and I was brought a nice and hot bread roll to eat as I waited for my food. I ended up getting the shrimp pad Thai which was great, just too many bean sprouts in it. I know next time to ask for little to none. I drank a pelligreno with my meal which was crisp and refreshing. Overall nice restaurant and great service.

    Came back because I was really craving pad thai and wanted to give this place another shot because of all of the raving reviews. First off, the service and ambiance are impeccable. The restaurant is clean and modern, and the waitress is attentive and very welcoming- she continually made sure we had full glasses of water even serving and seating all of the tables! 10/10 service. I was disappointed that I did not get bread this time, maybe they stopped doing it, but I remember how good it was last time so naturally sad as I was anticipating it. I got tofu pad Thai and my bf got crab fried rice. Both items were very expensive for Thai food. My typical pad thai is like $15, so now my expectations are higher. The pad thai was just ok. It had a good portion of tofu but it wasn't special. I did like having the extra peppers and peanuts on the side. The crab fried rice was also decent but nothing special- good portion of crab but still overpriced. Presentation of both dishes were very nice but it didn't exceed my expectations for the price point.

    Drunken noodle
    Anna L.

    We were searching for last minute dinner plans tonight, good food but not too fancy. I saw the great reviews and recommended to the fam that we check this place out. We started with the oysters and spring rolls. The oysters were a hit. For entrees we tried the pad thai, drunken noodles and fried rice. The pad thai and drunken noodles were most flavorful. The Thai iced coffee was sweet but good and the espresso was delicious. This restaurant is located in a the same strip mall as sucre table and you would miss it if you weren't searching! It's very small. We had a reservation and waited just a few minutes to be seated. The staff members were very friendly. The food tasted fresh and very hot when it came out. I'd go back for the coffee and pad Thai!

    Great locally owned restaurant. The fusion part made the menu funny to us. It means I could definitely come here with my husband. He'd get the French Onion Soup and Steak and I'd get the Thai food. However, since I was with four of my girlfriends, we stuck with the Thai dishes. Here's what we got and what I thought: Sweet N Sour Grouper - it's a house made sauce and it was absolutely delicious. The grouper was huge, lightly fried and I would 100% get this again. It was my favorite dish. Red Curry Duck - This dish had a kick to it. I found the duck very tender though and I really enjoyed it. Thai Drunken Noodles with Chicken - This was a good portion size. It's good, but I would get the two dishes above before this one. Shrimp Asparagus - Also good, but it was closer to the average side for me. Chicken Satay - This is your standard chicken satay dish. I liked the peanut sauce that it came with and it's a good size for an appetizer. They do have a limited wine list and $20 corkage fee if you bring your own. No liquor. It's a small restaurant, but it was only about half full on a Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. I hope more people are doing takeout, because this restaurant deserves to survive. The decor is modern and you'd feel comfortable in both jeans and a dress here. I think our server was also one of the owners and she was very nice. They bring out bread and butter to start the meal, again more of a French influence. She never rushed us and let us happily chat away. Parking is abundant, since the stores around aren't open in the evenings. Makes it easy to come here for dinner.

    French Onion Soup and Thai Iced Tea
    Jackie M.

    Paul's Asian Fusion Kitchen is an absolute culinary delight! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, with attentive service that makes you feel right at home. The Thai iced tea is hands down one of the best I've had. It was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with that signature sweet-spiced flavor. It's the perfect start to the meal. I was pleasantly surprised by the French onion soup, which was a delicious fusion twist--deep, savory broth with perfectly caramelized onions and a generous topping of melted cheese over the bread. Unexpected at an Asian fusion place, but it absolutely works! And the star of the meal: the chicken pad Thai. It was flavorful, well-portioned, and cooked to perfection. Every bite was a treat. Paul's Asian Fusion Kitchen blends comfort food with bold flavors beautifully. Highly recommended for anyone who loves great food with a creative touch!

    Sweet potato crusted salmon
    Renelle W.

    Don't judge this book by its cover. This modest restaurant situated in a random shopping plaza on Kennedy Blvd has mouthwatering entrees and excellent service. It's quite small inside so there is an intimate feeling. Jarunee was our server and she was both pleasant and helpful with the menu. We ordered the sweet and sour grouper as well as the sweet potato crusted salmon. Both fish were great portion sizes, cooked well, creative, very flavorful and the meal was balanced with jasmine rice and a veggie. We cleared the plate! It was so delicious. Both meals totaled $60, which is reasonable considering the portion sizes for a seafood dish. I would definitely recommend trying Paul's!

    French Onion Soup
    Danny K.

    Checked out Paul's Fusion Kitchen while visiting Tampa, and had a fantastic time dining at this restaurant! We ordered the Oyster Rockefeller, Ahi Tuna, French Onion Soup, Thai Drunken Noodles with Shrimp, and Thai Tea. The good: All of the dishes tasted amazing! Can't go wrong with any of the food items. French Onion Soup had such great flavors in the broth, and love the cheesiness of it. The Oyster Rockefeller was delicious, and the oyster was a good portion with 5 oysters, and it came out hot and fresh. Ahi Tuna tasted fresh, and went great with the fusion sauce. Thai Drunken Noodles with Shrimp was terrific, and the noodles were not soggy or hard to chew, and it had a great consistency. Thai Tea was so good, that I ordered another one. The bad: Nothing! Overall, would definitely come back again and try the other dishes!

The standout dishes were the Papa's Egg Roll, the Black Brick Tower, and the Dan Dan Noodles. All three are must orders. The egg roll was packed with flavor and perfectly crispy, the Black Brick Tower was fresh and beautifully balanced, and the Dan Dan Noodles had the perfect combination of spice, richness, and texture. Honestly, every bite was amazing. The atmosphere was great for a date night, with attentive service and a fun, energetic vibe. It's not often that every dish exceeds expectations, but that was definitely the case here. We left already talking about what we want to order on our next visit. What I ordered: - Blackbrick Tower: Six steamed siu mai -- truffle sticky rice, shrimp & bamboo, chicken & chive - "Papa's" Egg Roll: Shrimp, Duroc pork, green beans -- grandmother's 100-year recipe - Dan Dan Noodles: Sichuan pork, local bucatini, Beijing sesame & peanut - Lobster Fried Rice: 10oz Maine lobster tail, scallion, egg thread - Brussels Sprout: Soy-braised, sesame - Ma La Fried Chicken Crispy, numbing chili -- the one guests remember

But once they are in even with food on the table, you would have to move the table out the way to get out to go to the restroom or take a call, etc. on the other hand, the pros... The food is so good. I've been to both locations and I can say everything has so much flavor... Our server had the best recommendations and when we went against his recommendations, we thought maybe we should've listened to him i.e. the char sui baby back ribs (maybe try thr other style of ribs next time) Everything else was delicious: the drinks the apps, which I think are the star of this restaurant The black brick tower is a must so you can try all the main dumplings. We were a little disappointed because we ve tried the truffle rice a few times before and the truffle just wasn't as potent or prominent in this visit's dish. Usually, you can smell it soon as it hits the table. The decor is super cute. A lot of Basquiat and Basquiat inspired p things. The bathroom has all the chefs TV debuts on there which I think its a genius idea. We got there for our reservation and we werr sat immediately even though we were early. Parking can be a pain, but there is additional parking right behind the main parking lot.

We started off with cocktails -- I went with the pomelo (nikka coffey gin, aperol, grapefruit, szechuan peppercorn) and she got the shinshun (sparkling sake, yuzu extract, & honey). We both really enjoyed our drinks. For appetizers, we shared the wagyu gyoza and I also got a couple pieces of nigiri -- Hokkaido Hotate (scallop) and the otoro (fatty tuna belly). Yum! We both ordered sushi rolls (maki) for our mains. I got the Ro signature roll which has spicy tuna, avocado, and hamachi. My sis got the classic tempura shrimp roll topped with crispy potato chips which was a nice twist. We definitely got our sushi fix! The end of every meal comes with a complimentary sweet surprise and I'm so glad we saved just enough room for dessert. They make their own ice cream in-house and have fun rotating flavor combinations. I can't remember the exact flavor we had, but it had a passion fruit ganache on top with some crumble topping and it was phenomenal! Some of the best ice cream I've ever had. That alone is worth going back for.

Could have used eggs or other ingredients to elevate this dish. Also the Volcano roll was extremely disappointing. Normally the volcano topping is cooked or (torched) and this topping was cold and very unappetizing. Would not recommend this roll. Overall this place is a hit or miss.
