Red chicken curry
Jude B.

This is a frequently visited spot since it's near my yoga studio. I used to say Thai food was my favorite when I was a teen but then you become a foodie and try to eat around the world. So this is a solid place fresh food cooked to order, great service

Sharp and large piece of plastic on my finger, recovered from my mouth while I was eating curry puff.

Sharp plastic found in my food! had a very upsetting and unsafe experience here. While eating my food, I found a sharp piece of clear plastic inside the curry puff. I am extremely glad I was the one who found it and not my children, because this could have seriously injured someone. I stopped eating immediately and took photos of the plastic piece. This is a serious food-safety issue, and the restaurant needs to investigate how this happened, check their preparation/packaging process, and take responsibility. I would not feel comfortable eating here again unless management clearly addresses what happened.

This is genuinely the best Thai spot in the Brandon area. The pad thai has a sweet taste with the tamarind sauce and the sourness of a lime. This is hands down the best pad thai I have ever had. The basil snapper is also rare to come by in the Brandon area. Usually, they serve the fish in filets, but this is one of the only Thai restaurants with a whole snapper on the menu. The curled up crunchy skin is soooo good. The service is fast, and the food comes out relatively quickly. I love the ambiance of the restaurant, especially during Christmas.

The staff here is always very friendly and ready to answer any question about the menu. This time I tried the pad thai. The flavor was amazing and the portion was good too. I had it with pork. I'm definitely coming back to try more of the menu!

We got a basil red snapper. The fish was filleted, coated and deep fry. The sauce was a tasty basil sauce with bell pepper, carrot and onion. It tasted good with white rice. The sitting area was well decorated, bar area got TV. Good enough service and delicious food, but the pricing is a bit high for this area.

N3. Drunken Noodle

We ordered takeout, so I can't comment on the service or atmosphere. We tried the drunken noodles, spring rolls, and red curry. The spring rolls were the best part of the meal, but the other dishes fell a bit short for us. The other two lacked flavor and chicken was dry. Unfortunately, this one wasn't a favorite. Still searching for our go-to Thai spot in Riverview!

I usually get soup and fresh rolls to go. It always hits the spot but I miss out on the cute ambience. I love the decor and the staff is super sweet. My kid and I stopped in for and split a few apps for dinner. The corn fritters weren't quite what I expected but were tasty anyway. The tea leaf salad was my favorite.

Went for the three-color sticky rice, but my terrible parking skills squashed any chance of a decent photo. Purple butterfly pea, green green tea, orange Thai tea. Didn't really taste like their colors though. The mango was that fibrous, sour kind. Coconut cream had a sweet and salty thing going on. Crying tiger: Grilled beef with Thai sweet dipping sauce. average.

If you like hot, fresh, well prepared Thai food this is your place. We ordered just before closing and they were kind enough to take us at the last minute although the floors had just been mopped. The person who took my order was happy to answer any of my questions. The place is clean and has a good amount of seating for dine in. Definitely worth a try!

Shrimp curry lunch special

Loved this place. Went here for lunch on my bday. Loved that it was three courses and came with a beverage at a fantastic price. The shrimp red curry was packed with flavor and tantalized my taste buds. Everyone enjoyed their food and the waitress was excellent. Next time I'm in Florida we will definitely make our track back.

Pad See Ew
Angela W.

This is our go to Thai spot when I'm in Riverview. It has been increasing difficult to find a good Thai spot since Thai Terrace in Tampa closed (RIP). Luckily we discovered this place! Their Pad Thai is consistently saucy and delicious (even though they charge $1 for extra egg even if you don't get a meat). Their Pad See Ew is so flavorful. The Masaman Curry was delicious but will likely try their other curries before ordering again. Their fresh rolls are very fresh and crunchy. Honestly have never had a bad meal. Price point is on par with most Thai restaurants and their service is always great. The ambiance is nice as well, with (fake) greenery everywhere and low lighting, but not so low that you can't see what you're eating. Will continue to make this a regular spot!

C2. Green Curry
Jenny Z.

We really enjoyed our dinner here! Someone in our group suggested Payaathai, saying the Thai food was delicious. I was craving some soup, and the green curry at level 3 spice really hit the spot for me. The spice level was good! It mad the curry super flavorful and delicious. The green curry was delicate, smooth and creamy. I liked all of the vegetables it included, like eggplant, bell pepper, bamboo shoots. I also got to try some of my bf's pad see yew - he got it super spicy and he added more chili!! The noodles were very wide and flat. The dish had a lot of sauce. Overall, the presentation of everyone's food was really nice! It made all the food look so appetizing. I was eyeing the ribs that the friend who suggested this place ordered!

Was in Brandon for an appointment and had to grab a quick lunch on the way. My co-worker and I both…read morehad salads. He said his papaya salad was the best he'd ever had, and I can attest that my Thai beef salad was above average! So fresh, well seasoned, and good portions. The papaya salad included plump shrimp and my beef salad had a very generous portion of beef. It was tender and not stringy as I have experienced in other places. The server was a doll. Hidden gem here as I presume this stretch of road which is directly across from Brandon Hospital would just typically have travelers who are for whatever reason at the hospital or clinics near by. We were told there is a sister location in Lutz which we will surely visit. This location is definitely going to be on my list of Thai restaurants to revisit regularly!

I love me some Thai Chilli Pepper. I used to go to the one down in Bloomingdale and when they…read moreopened in Brandon on Oakfield I was estatic. My sister and I, before she moved to college, had a thing where we would try all our local Thai restaurants. As someone who has now gone to Thailand and tried local cuisine, Thai Chilli Pepper has remained as a top contender. Their service is always sweet and caring and the decor is great for a relaxing dinner with friends or even a date night! The classic, Pad Thai, has great flavor and I love that their noodles come with a lot of sauce! Summer rolls with the peanut sauce is always a banger. I have tried almost all their Curreys, they all taste phenomenal; they even sell ToGo baggies to those who want to make their own Currey at home with their recipe! Bangkok wings are crisped to perfection. Thai tea has a rich, creamy flavor profile which surprisingly a lot of people mess up. This time around I wanted to try their Seafood Tom Kha and their Yum Beef Salad. I got them both medium and it was the perfect amount of spice, flavor, and punch. I'm telling you. They never disappoint!
