Food was great. My disappointment is we had a party of 5, got charged automatic 20% tip without being told. Generally it’s a party of 6 for automatic tips on checks. None of us realized it. I reached out to restaurant, but no one has responded.

Diner Review №2

Best Thai food anywhere! The duck is done to perfection!

Diner Review №4

Everything on point! Papaya salad and chicken laab! Sooooooooooooooolll delicious 😋

Diner Review №5

Always great service, always flavorful dishes, the best Thai in all of Lakeland hands down

Diner Review №6

Everything about this place is incredible. The food is the best in Lakeland. The house spicy sauce I could drink by the gallon. Run don’t walk to eat here. It’s a warm hug from a home away from home.

Diner Review №7

This was our first time here, and it was excellent. Reddit recommended it as a good option in the area, and I can't agree more! We had the dumplings, pad Thai, and swan roll. All were excellent in flavor and quality. Our server was professional and prompt. Great spot for lunch or dinner!

Diner Review №8

Quality food and very reasonable prices. Had the Tom yum soup and my wife had chicken pad thai We split a large ginger salad

Diner Review №12

Food has always been very Excellent (for the 5 years we have been coming to Thai Oishi). Well-seasoned and excellent presentation on all dishes we've tried! Best Thai Food we've had - and I've eaten Thai food all over Florida. It's always a good sign when every dish is very enjoyable - with no flops. My wife loves the Mexican Roll - and I love the Pineapple Rice! Dining area has about 4 large tables & 6 small ones - so come on less busy times if you can. Prices are inexpensive based on quality. Service has always been good for us - but we have also seen a number of service staff over the years. Thai Oishi for the win!

Authentic Thai food properly made! Big props to this place I’ve had Thai all over and this place is legit!

Diner Review №17

Will not be returning due to inappropriate, extremely unprofessional service.

Came here on 10/24 and my group of 4 split the bill two ways. I paid the $60 bill and, being a broke college student, I opted not to leave a tip. I traditionally only tip when service is really exceptional, simply because I don't have enough to tip at every single establishment I visit. The waitress collected our bills and I noticed her glaring at us from behind the counter but thought nothing of it.

As we're sitting at our table after finishing our food, the man who I'm assuming was the manager came to our table and asked us how the food and service was. I replied that I enjoyed the food and that the service was good, and he proceeded to bring me back my personal bill and directly ask me what my reasoning was for not leaving a tip out loud in front of our group.

I was shocked at how unprofessional he was and in the moment decided I'd leave a couple of dollars to get him to leave us alone. The waitress comes back to collect her tip and snatches it from the table in a rather passive aggressive manner. It is worth noting another member of our party left a tip at the table as well.

After reading a couple of other reviews, this is a common occurrence at this location. Will not be returning due to the embarrassing and entitled behavior of staff. Pay your employees, as a business in America you just can't expect tips from every single customer.

Diner Review №18

Some of the biggest and fresh tasting sushi we’ve had since coming back from Japan. Thank you for a wonderful night out.

Diner Review №19

Love the massaman curry with tofu, mango sticky rice, and pad see ew. Every dinner and lunch I’ve had here has been enjoyable and yummy.

Diner Review №20

We been customers for years but tonight, one of the servers chased us down because they thought the tip was low even though it was close to the suggest tip on the receipt. He then proceeded to tell us to get take out instead next. This will the last time we eat here. Yall should not be guilt tripping your customers to give higher tips, it is distasteful. Your management should do better to get your staff a decent salary.

Diner Review №21

No waiting for a seat. Service was excellent. Food was very good. Good sized portion.

The Best in POLK County

Diner Review №26

I have been looking for a good green curry in Lakeland for the past two years, and finally found one at Thai Oishi. Flavorful, aromatic, spicy, and delicious.

Staff were knowledgeable, helpful, and attentive. Prices are reasonable.

10/10, would recommend.

Diner Review №27

Overpriced and bland

Diner Review №28

Green curry great flavors and plenty of pork. Requested extra Thai spicy, it came out a 3. Wonton soup was good but pricy for broth and a few wonton. I'll come again and try some other items.

Diner Review №35

I have been wanting Thai food for a while, but it's one of the very few things that my boyfriend just doesn't like, so it's not been on the list for date nights. A friend of mine took me out yesterday for my birthday - lunch and massage, with an unexpected trip to Second Sunday - and this is where we decided to go. It was delicious. The servers were very attentive (there was one, though, who was nice, but was unable to make any recommendations to my friend, was unable to articulate anything he liked there, which was very unhelpful - after being a server for years, I like to find out what it is that they like to eat because that's usually the best thing on the menu). The food was delicious. We shared the crab rangoons and fried calamari sushi roll. I had the drunken noodles with shrimp (with half for lunch today) and she had the garlic and peppers with pork. We finished the meal off with mango and sticky rice and the banana dish that was wrapped in phyllo and fried. All were very good. I will definitely go back there again. (So much more for me to try.)

Diner Review №36

The best Thai food ever

Diner Review №37

I have been dining at Thai Oshi since it opened. While the food was undeniably excellent, my overall experience was marred by the inadequate customer service provided by the management, particularly Chase Tan. Despite being frequent customers, we were rudely refused the option to place our order over the phone. When we initially called in, we were directed to order online, only to find out that the cut-off time for online orders had passed. This lack of flexibility and courtesy from the management was deeply disappointing and tarnished what could have been an otherwise enjoyable dining experience.

Diner Review №38

Food taste good but portion were small vs price

Diner Review №39

Diner Review №40

90% rice 10% sushi. it’s not like the place is BAD but u can just tell they’re cheap because the sushi was so much extra rice i made a baseball sized rice ball after from my 2 salmon avocado rolls. and we got a kani salad and it was like 20% crab then seaweed and cucumber salad like they’re just cheap and it shows but again not like bad. it was also 74$ for 4 rolls and the salad which isn’t necessarily a bad price for sushi but for the amount of actual meat they are giving u it’s just crazy.

Diner Review №42

Everything I've had from Thai Oishi has been amazing, and a great experience! The Chicken Pad Thai and Thai Basil are my favorite!

Diner Review №43

Excellent vegetarian options. Great coffee and tea. Delicious peanut sauces. Good seafood dishes. Parking is usually behind the restaurant, in a general parking area.

Diner Review №46

Stayed at one of the hotels close by - the online ordering was very convenient b/c inside was full.

App: crispy calamari - was eeh, not much flavor
Soup: miso soup 🍲, recommend
Entree: pad Thai 🍜 , recommend

Pick up was quick and easy

Diner Review №47

I have a gluten allergy, and I have always been able to get the pad Thai without being sick later. Delicious!

Diner Review №48

Always an excellent experience. Always makes me feel like family.

Diner Review №49

Just little expensive ...food great....small restaurant. But good food!

Diner Review №50

One of our favorite places to go ! Amazing food and service

Diner Review №51

I've been here many times over the past three years and the food is always delicious and the servers are so kind! This is one of my favorite places to eat, it's definitely worth checking out if you've never been :)

Diner Review №52

Diner Review №53

Best food in town. You can tell it's fresh to order.

Diner Review №54

Been here a few times. I love the curries - super flavorful. This time I tried the chili jam sauce tofu dish and it was also delicious.

The staff is also very friendly and helpful with explanations and suggestions. I did dock one star because they didn't mention the $6 up charge for fried rice - granted, it is a generous portion, but it would've been nice if it was mentioned. In the past, I've seen it as $2-3 to switch up the rice.

Diner Review №55

The food was very good and flavorful. I loved the spring rolls as well.

Diner Review №56

Have been here a few times already. Delicious food everytime. My go to is the drunken noodle and basil fried rice, but got the Panang curry recently. Excellent flavor, and the spice level was just right. Comes with the side of rice, but ended up getting a second to soak up the rest of the curry. Spring rolls are always a nice appetizer too, peanut sauce is great!

Diner Review №57

Came for pad thai (which is phenomenal) and kept coming back for everything else. Small, cozy, reminds me of a spot in NYC. Great staff and really really good food.

Diner Review №58

Was so good I went twice in one week. Thai Tea was amazing, Drunken noodles are super flavorful, Curry is great! My only advice is order it a step above what you think you want for heat, both times "hot" has been a little mild.

Diner Review №59

Delicious pad Thai

Diner Review №60

Food is amazing. Ask for Grace. She took care of us without asking for thing. Can’t believe I have driven past this place 1000 times

Diner Review №61

If you like thai food, and honestly, even if you don't, you will love this restaurant. The food is very reasonably priced for the portion sizes, ~$16 for a meal per person, but they do have some choices for lower.
The sushi is very good but decently more expensive than other lakeland sushi restaurants.
The restaurant itself is a bit cramped, but otherwise great.
To speak on their service, it is exceptional. I work nearby in the Plaza, and they regularly will bring my food over for me when I order lunch. Everyone I've interacted with is friendly.

Diner Review №62

Finally found a Thai place with amazing food. Went there quite a few times last month. Duck Penang curry was the best I had!! Basil fried rice as well as pineapple fried rice were delicious. Must give it a try, you won’t be disappointed. Friendly service and fresh food. Will go there again for sure. One of the best in Lakeland.

Diner Review №63

You'll get better quality sushi at the grocery store

Diner Review №64

Traveling for work stopped in twice. So very good. Shrimp ginger one night. Snapper filet the second. Both perfectly prepared with fresh, crisp light veggies and a medium heat that was just right - warm but not overwhelming the intricate flavors. Service off the charts friendly and attentive. I eat a lot of Thai and this is in the top quartile. Small, clean, quiet dining room with a soft background music allowing for easy conversation. And an excellent value.

Diner Review №65

We drove further to get here based on their google reviews and we are so glad we did. We love Thai food. Exceptional in all categories. I had basil fried rice with beef and additional vegetables. Wow. Tasted fantastic. Rich in texture. The right temperature... Kept its heat. Right spicy level (hot) for me. Very content with the quantity of food. It was well worth the extra miles even though there was another Thai restaurant with slightly less of a rating much closer where we started. Plus this restaurant is in a good area with lots of shops and so we walked around to work off a few calories. Thank you to the team at this Thai Oishi! Of course, we will be back again.

Diner Review №66

Enjoyed the food veg spring rolls delish
California rolls good! Didn’t care for one w salmons n cream cheese.

22$ without tip for California rolls n spring rolls( it did come w a ginger salad) tea not included…
Waitress was a bit rushed, which was annoying.

Diner Review №67

Tried this place out for the first time today. I ordered the thai fried rice with shrimp. Upon receiving my food I noticed a long piece of hair. I showed the waitress the hair and stated that I did not want it remade. She insisted on re-making it. Upon receiving my bill they didn't accommodate that particular item. Their only response was: "We made it over for you," "This was human error." Having someone else's hair in your food isn't human error, its unsanitary. Anytime I've had an issue with my food order the manager has done their best to accommodate and provide the best customer service experience. Each worker argued with me about the situation, barely acknowledging the wrongdoing. Horrible customer service to say the least.
Needless to say, I will never return back to this place.

Diner Review №68

Thai Oishi is a great little restaurant in Lakeside Village in Lakeland. I had the honey flavored duck. Served very hot. It was delicious. The atmosphere was amazing at the counter in which they used different colors to reflect off the glasses. The service was excellent.

False website advertising

We are regular customers and this place

Diner Review №75

Returning customers . Worst customer service by grace ( poor attitude and didn't check on her customers ) . Food was 45 minutes late . Disappointed in quality of sushi , NOT authentic Thai food . So upset I couldn't finish my food had to leave , please take your hard earned money else where .
No authenticity Of Thai Or Japanese food.
Will not return . Go to Savory Thai . Owners are kind and the food is made authentically and delicious ... what a shame .

Diner Review №76

Diner Review №77

I hope that the owners of Thai Oishi will choose their workers more wisely. I don’t think I have ever experienced such disappointing service from an establishment. Please do not go here.

Diner Review №78

My favorite for Ramen and pad Thai. Great service as well!

Diner Review №79

My absolute favorite Thai restaurant in Lakeland. Their duck dishes are superb and their sushi is always fantastic and fresh.

Diner Review №80

The food so far has been very tasty. The basil rice is delicious 😋 👌.

Diner Review №81

Yellow curry w/chicken, shrimp pad Thai all great choices. Sushi rolls are a notch above other places, we've found.

Diner Review №82

I loved the food there was a lot of flavor and the waiter was super nice, but i didnt like how they left the tails on the shrimp in my rice, but other then that it was amazing!

Diner Review №87

Excellent food and service !!

Diner Review №88

I am still sitting in the restaurant and just finished lunch— had to write a review immediately. This is the real deal! This meal brought me back to the streets of Thailand. Outstanding Thai food. The best. This restaurant is a keeper. 👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Diner Review №89

Avoid this place at all costs. Terrible experience. Do not recommend.

Diner Review №90

Waited very long for our food and to be seated. When we received our food it was very cold. Unacceptable. Male waiter never checked on us, never got drink refills, very disappointed. I spoke to them at the restaurant they said no manager was available and owner is out of country, they could not help. Tried emailing and calling but still no response. Customer service is terrible. Wouldn’t recommend eating here.

Diner Review №91

Went on Father's Day. Very warm. Our butts stuck to our seats. Server warned us that they would be slow, as they only had one sushi chef. It took a very long time. Sushi was good, but it was physically uncomfortable and one in our party had to leave for work before finishing eating, due to how much time it took.

Diner Review №92

Very hot and it took forever to get food. With such a competitive Asian food market, they can't afford to hike up the temperature and short staff.

Diner Review №93

Hands down the best sushi in Lakeland. Quality fish.

Diner Review №94

First time here. Located in the lakeside village mall. They were quite busy as there was a vendors market going on. Even then the service and food was exceptional. Our waitress was Jessica,who took the time to help me pick a wine to go with my pineapple brown fried rice. They had many substitutions to pick from. Noticed many vegetable choices. We had the edamame for appetizer. Hubby had the Tom kha soup,made with coconut milk and chicken, and the sweet n sour pork. He was very happy. I had the pineapple fried brown rice which also had cashews. I was happy. Their prices were reasonable. Will return for sure as I'm on a plant based regimen now.

Diner Review №95

Very very good food and service!

Diner Review №96

The food was good. I had the sweet and sour sauce with chicken. The mix was good, but the sauce was to sweet and it was a lot. Could have been better. Still, 4 stars is a fair review.

Diner Review №97

Diner Review №98

Great food, but the dark haired waitress was rude. No other way to say it. There was an issue with how the food was being served and she just said it wasn’t her fault it was the other dark haired waiters fault, and walked away.

Diner Review №99

Stopped by for a couple of rolls and everything was so fresh! It was really packed and everyone's food from what I could see looked so good, I am excited about going back and trying something different. Prices are higher than most places I go to but that's expected for the location but with that being said the rolls we got were prepared so well.

Diner Review №100

Diner Review №107

This would be our second time trying this place, and we even liked it more than the first time. First of all, you should really try the plum wine! Never had that before, and I found it to be one of the best alcoholic beverages ever. The flavor complexity of that drink is sensational! Their service is friendly and efficient. The restaurant doesn't have a particular design but feels cozy and comfortable. Their prices are a bit on the upper side, but everything we tried was good. Green Curry was delicious and with the right level of heat for medium hot. Tuna was delicious too, and so was the ramen. Would we go back? Absolutely!

Diner Review №108

Excellent food and service. It was a very nice dining experience.

Diner Review №109

Had to wait about 25 minutes for a table on a Tuesday night. Ordered tuna appetizer it was ok. Pork Laab salad was fine not enough lettuce for amount of pork. Godzilla roll wasn't much too appreciate. Odd texture

Diner Review №110

EDIT- against my better judgment I went back with my family because we were hoping they were good like the first time we went there.
Quite the opposite. They’ve declined even more, and THE PRICES HAVE SKYROCKETED, and you get LESS FOOD. The food we did get the skimped on all the toppings, and sides. Very disappointing. I definitely would not recommend them.

First time I ate there it was good. Every other time since then it has been inconsistent. Someone’s order at the table is always wrong, and sometimes it’s multiple errors. For example I ordered beef sobu, and my order came out with no beef on it. Even the waitress is like how did they miss that?! Sometimes the chicken is cold, or dry. We’ve told them no spice, and then we get the food and it’s so spicy no one can eat it. Then the waitress argued that that’s how it’s normally served, and my sister orders the same thing every time, and the dish is NOT supposed to be spicy. Last time they messed my son’s ramen noodles up. They gave him something I’ve never heard of before, but it had ramen noodles in it. So waitress assumed that was what he wanted. When it was supposed to be a side of just ramen. He didn’t get to eat because we didn’t have time for them remake it before we had to be somewhere.
Our bill is always over $75, and that’s for 3-4 people. Way too expensive, even when the food is good, they’re really overpriced.
I try to eat at small businesses and not chain restaurants, but it’s really hard to keep going somewhere when the food is always wrong, not always good, and overpriced.
BEWARE- do not eat the pumpkin custard. It’s the most disgusting thing I’ve ever eaten. I can’t believe they even serve that dish.

Diner Review №111

The only place to get legit, delicious Thai food in Lakeland. I mean it. The ONLY PLACE that is edible in this town!!!

I have yet to have a Thai dish at this location that I didn’t love. They balance the flavors and spice well and use high quality ingredients.

Diner Review №112

I ordered the steak salad which was almost $13 if not, but was very disappointed in the size. I ordered it to go and even tipped $3 because I got a soup too but the container wasn't even full of salad. I hate to complain but you could've done better.

Diner Review №113

Everything was amazing. Sushi was delicious!!! Will be back

Diner Review №114

Always good it's our go to for our special occasion and for date nights frequently. Go and you will know why.

Diner Review №115

Great food, somewhat high prices, and great atmosphere! Everything was very clean, waitress was very attentive and food was great! Lots of variety and even when busy it wasnt too loud

Diner Review №116

Outstanding flavors...simply Outstanding.

Diner Review №117

Just had a great Lunch experience, great food, Flavors were balanced. Fresh Seafood, Thai Rice with Pork..! Múy bueno!!! I'll be back!!

Diner Review №118

Reading the many positive reviews, I'm not sure if I caught them on a bad day, but my girlfriend and I felt our sushi rolls were bland. Not only bland, the rice was overly sticky, which made the rolls really stick to the plates.

Diner Review №119

Pretty good thai food, quick service! It's small inside so try avoiding busy hours.

Diner Review №120

We try to stop here each time we are in the area. Small restaurant with limited seating, providing the best Thai foods in the area. We had a small wait for a table but found it again, easily worth the wait. The service and meals are first class.

Diner Review №121

Diner Review №122

Service was great, food was good, I'll have to try it again maybe but it wasn't the best thai I've ever had. Its a small shop, windowsills were a little dusty. Atmosphere was OK.

Diner Review №123

My favorite Thai food in Lakeland. I always get the Crispy Basil Duck. Never had a bad experience and I've eaten there 30+ since they opened.

Diner Review №124

Diner Review №125

The food is delicious. I always come to this place to eat the pepper steak with crab fried rice. I don't give it 5 stars for the simple reason that the employee, Desly, has a bad attitude towards clients. I criticized me in front of everyone.

Diner Review №126

This has been a staple of our beach trips for years now. We stop on our way home on every trip because we are in love with their sushi and the masaman curry. Whenever we have requested a change, as little heat as possible in terms of spice, they always oblige. I am unable to eat spicy food, and my wife is just not a fan. We’ve tried basically every sushi roll they can make to fit my restrictions and have been working our way through their menu as we go along, but we always place to go orders for that masaman so we can enjoy more at home. We’ve had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with the owner on several occasions. If this place weren’t so far away, we’d be there every other day.

Diner Review №127

So good place! Highly recommended!

Diner Review №128

The food here is very good. Especially their curry dishes (yellow and massaman), chicken satay, and pad se-ew. Their Ramen was also good. The service was very good as well.

Diner Review №129

Diner Review №130

Place is awesome and food is delicious. Drama Queen is the best sushi roll in town. Only complaint would be it's small so only about 10 tables.

Diner Review №131

We absolutely love the food, they at one point had the same servers and we're very attentive and familiar. They seem to have someone different nearly every time we go, and have now added in an 18% gratuity to the bill automatically, and the server we had wasn't very attentive. So we chose to give our cash tip to one of the other members of the team.

Diner Review №132

Diner Review №133

Thai Oishi is delicious! We are new to Lakeland and this is the first sushi restaurant we have tried, they exceeded our expectations! The staff was friendly, attentive and answered any questions. They had a wonderful selection from appetizers, sashimi, rolls, along with entrees. We ordered kani, California rolls and a crunch roll and our sushi was well prepared, fresh and just outright amazing. Their prices are extremely reasonable. The restaurant is a bit smaller however, they are quick to seat, serve and wrap up tables which makes for excellent service.

Diner Review №134

I'd give this place 10 stars if I could. They have the best food with the absolute best service. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Still a wonderful place!!!

Diner Review №147

I had been to Thai Oishi a few times before, and we always loved it. A few months ago, I had ordered takeout and went to pick it up at the quoted time. They were busy, and their pick up area was over flowing. The staff was running around like crazy, and I saw my bag in the pickup area with my name on it. A lady walked by and she said "Picking up?" And I said Yes and told her my name. She grabbed my bag and told me to have a great day. I drove the 30 minutes back home and began unpacking my food only to realize I was missing half my order-two sushi rolls to be exact. I called Thai Oishi and the woman that answered the phone was extremely rude. I explained what I was missing and she told me that my order was sitting there waiting for me. I explained my interaction with the server and told her I was under the impression I had all of my order. She asked if I checked the bag there, I told her no, because my order was handed to me and I assumed everything was there. She told me it was my fault and asked if I was coming back for the rest of the food.

I explained it was a 30 minute drive and asked if the food would be made fresh, because it would have been sitting there for an hour at this point. She told me no, they already made it and would not waste more food. I asked for a refund and told her I would not feel comfortable eating food that has been sitting out for an hour, so I would not be driving back. She told me that was my choice and no refund would be offered, because they made the food.

She hung up the phone, and I was obviously very upset. I disputed the charge with my bank because I did not receive the food I had paid for. I did not dine there for months because of this interaction, until yesterday when I decided to get some takeout.

I placed my order online like usual, and as I was walked to pick it up I received a phone call from Thai Oishi. The woman on the phone told me that I was banned from ever ordering from Thai Oishi again because of the chargeback, and my order was refunded. I am honestly in shock. In my opinion, the restaurant didn't do the right thing with the original issue. I'm not paying for something I didn't receive but you refused to refund me. I did what was necessary to remedy the situation-an opportunity I gave to you initially. Now to be banned from ever ordering/dining again?

I cannot, in good faith ever recommend this establishment to anyone, ever again. I hope no one else has to go through what I did, and I hope Thai Oishi takes some time to reflect on this and re-evaluate their reaction to the situation.

Diner Review №148

Worst Thai place I've ever been. Their Tom kha tasted like they just poured a can of coconut milk in the soup. It was mediocre. Their Tom Yum was nothing special. Not to mention they made you pay for the shrimp. That is what the typical soup is. Hot and sour soup with shrimp. SMH. We also tried their entrée pad Thai. 14.98 and it was the size of the KFC famous bowl . (I tried to get as close to the size and something people could relate too) It was pathetic and disappointing. $35 later. Never again.

Diner Review №149

Wowzers Tom kha was fresh subtle delicious wholesome. Tuna rolls perfected. 10/10!

Also coffee wooooow

Amazing Thai curry! Absolutely loved getting dinner here with my girlfriend. Our dishes were delicious, and their levels of spice for curry are: Mild, Medium, Hot, and Thai Hot. The Thai Hot is true to its name while still having great flavor.

Diner Review №166

Went there for the first time. Being originally from Thailand, I am a little critical when it comes to thai food but this place did enough to satisfy my pallet. The food was good enough and better than most thai restaurants. I just love authentic Thai food, not the water down Americanized version. Will definitely go back again.

I have always loved Thai Oishi. I started eating there when they first opened. I have a lot of food allergies and they were always able to accommodate me. To be honest, the food has always been amazing, so when I started noticing changes in their service I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt.

The last 3 times I ate in person the waiters seemed more intent on talking to each other than coming to the tables. On one of these trips I did not receive a refill until I asked for a to go cup when I wanted to leave. All three of these visits were during lunch when they weren’t busy. Only 2 or 3 tables were in use.

Recently I tried to place a to go order over the phone. I don’t like to order food online because I can’t make the exact modifications I need to meet my dietary requirements. I was told that they are no longer taking any phone orders at all and I can only order to go online. I wasn’t willing to risk getting sick from an online order that doesn’t 100% comply with my restrictions.

I’m really disappointed with the turn the service has taken. I understand that a lot of places are short staffed and have even been willing to deal with the slow service that inevitably results in. However, I have a hard time accepting the poor customer service.

Our favorite Restaurant in Lakeland. Been going here more than a year, sometimes twice a month (from Orlando).

If your in the area, this is the best eatery in the area. Large selection of menu choices, outstanding service, with prices for every budget.

Text me if you find a better Thai restaurant.

Place has nice atmosphere, good food. 3 meals at good price. Service was good. It's small but offers a variety of thai and japanese dish that is familiar. I would visit again.

Very tasty. I've never had thai food before, so I can't comment on authenticity, but it was very flavorful and colorful

Diner Review №183

Ordered from this location twice and very disappointed both times. First time I ordered the Sushi Crunch role and the Imitation Krab was inedible and smelled. I decided to give them another shot 2 weeks ago and ordered $50 worth of food. After picking up my food, items were missing. I called the restaurant to speak to a manager (Joy) and they said she was not available but would call me back, I haven"t heard back and its been more than 2 weeks. They advised me to send an email, which I did and still haven't heard back hence the 1 star review. Will not be going back to this location

Food was very fresh, hot, and delicious. Upon returning, we found the food to be even better.

My husband and I live in Nevada. He is in Florida training for his private pilot license. He just passed and decided to treat himself to lunch. This is the restaurant he chose. Being such a special day and moment, I desperately wanted to surprise him and pay for his lunch with a $100 tip. I called and they wouldn’t let me. Way to ruin something special.
