Absolutely the best pad Thai in Florida and even the east coast! Noodles was cooked perfectly, not too soft, with every noodles generously coated in an unmatched semi-sweet-savory-nutty-spicy sauce. Red curry was really special. Beef noodles soup was also good. All flavors balanced nicely. Nothing was dry or salty.
Props to the chefs!! GO GO if you just want really delicious authentic Thai food. Forget the other fancier competitions with these “fusion food” that’s either too salty, bland or not authentic. Support this restaurant so they stay in business forever. Hidden gem in Sarasota-Bradenton.
After trying every Thai place in Sarasota, I can tell you this is the only one worth eating at. Their prices are pretty high, and some things are portioned strangely either too much or too little. (You guys could throw in own more skewer in the satay) 😎
However the flavor is exactly what you want.
It’s the best, second to none.
I’ve been going here for two years now and I love it.
It’s the only place that reminds me of the flavor of my friends moms cooking, and it’s perfect
This place is a short drive for me, and I absolutely looove Thai food! The location is pretty unassuming and was strangely empty when we arrived 8:30pm on a Saturday night. I ordered the green curry. My partner ordered the pork stir fry I believe. The sauces of both of these very delicious. The vegetables in my curry could have been a little fresher (I think the peas & carrots were either previously canned or frozen), but everything considered, it was still delectable! For dessert, I was close to trying the fried bananas. But, our very polite waitress suggested we try the fried ice cream. It was heavenly, and I was glad she pointed us to it as I tend to avoid super rich desserts. The service was excellent. The food came out quickly. The prices are similar to other Thai restaurants in Sarasota. This is definitely a nice place to check out if you're looking for Thai food in this part of town.
Recently moved to town and came here for lunch. It was delightful! I ordered the lunch 'bento box' that included 2 sushi rolls, a soup, salad and spring roll. It was a lot of food! My husband ordered the Lava Roll and it was just as good and filling. The waitress was great and generous also! We will be back!!
Absolutely fantastic!! What a great place! The food is sooo amazing. First the fresh spring rolls, so fresh and tasty. And then the Pad Thai, I almost have no words to describe how amazing tasty that was! The sauce was so tastfull. And a giant portion! For real Thai food go over here. The staff is very nice!
Finally stopped on here on my way home. Very friendly greeting, gave me plenty of time to peruse the extensive menus, one for sushi, another for everything else. So many choices. Went with a favorite, Panang curry with shrimp, Thai hot. Spice level is as advertised. Sadly, most of the veggies were zucchini, not the normally balanced mixture I've gotten elsewhere. The dinner portion was a bit smaller than others, as well. Flavor was spot on, though.
Nothing fancy but top-notch ingredients and presentation. I've been many times and everyone is always more than satisfied with their choices. My grown children get upset when they find out we went without them! 😂
Always great food. Normally we order the monster roll! So yummy!
Don’t let the humble exterior fool you. Hideko is HANDS DOWN one of The Best Asian Food Restaurants in Sarasota Bradenton!!! This place is serving dishes that keeps me coming back for more. As a picky New Orleans native, food is serious to me. After trying 14 different Asian restaurants in the area, this place has me as a life long customer.
Now in all fairness I’ve only tried 2 dishes: Chicken Fried Rice with sweet chili sauce and General Tso Chicken. Hideko’s sweet chili sauce is more sweet than spicy. The combination of this sauce and their tenderly moist, flavor packed chicken fried rice (mixed with tomatoes, onions, shallots, and egg) is tantalizingly delicious. 😋
Hideko’s General Tso Chicken is the definition of what General Tso Chicken should be: Crisp outer-coat with a tender chicken center covered in a sweet, tangy tempura base sauce. This chicken was so good, we scarfed it down.
Always great food. Normally we order the monster roll! So yummy!
Food and service here is always good.

The servers were rude and the food was definitely nasty and was def a waste of money . Never going again and highly don’t recommend.
I love their pad thai, tempura and curry.

Love this place.
This place is great! Very clean and very relaxing, a true gem! We loved our lunch and the server was super nice. The food tasted great and they are very generous with the proportions. Happy to have found it.
Everything tastes AMAZING!! Will be back.
A great experience, great food good prices, and waitress was a sweet heart ❤️
Placed an Uber Eats order for two dishes order well before closing time on a Saturday evening. The restaurant accepted and dishes were being prepared. THIRTY minutes later they CANCELED the order. Absolutely ridiculous and infuriating.
Delicious Pad Thai.. quaint atmosphere. 8/10 would recommend
This is a small, quiet, neighborhood place with good food. The soups are delicious, the vegetable spring rolls are fresh with a delicious sauce & the garlic chicken is great. Also love the curries here. Definitely recommend.
Yummy family owned business with great service and atmosphere.
The Best…aroouund (cue Karate Kid song). We recently moved south and miss this place a lot. The food here is excellent. I always get thai hot chicken pad thai, and it couldn’t be better. Got my parents addicted to this place since they live around the corner. I make it a point to order from here when I visit. Super friendly service, always accurate on the orders, always fresh and delicious. As someone that loves thai food, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ESTABLISHMENT.
Always a win! Their food is delicious! We eat in sometimes, and also do takeout.
Absolutely amazing food. Lunch portions were large and delicious. Would highly recommend

Nice, quiet local place with great food, reasonable prices, friendly staff, and quaint atmosphere. I totally recommend trying it out.
Got there and was seated immediately. Restaurant was very clean. Ordered the Gyoza and 4 different rolls. Service was VERY good, very fast and very friendly. The app was soo good and fresh. The sushi was so fresh and tasty. Some of the best sushi I have had. Try the monster roll. 5 out of 5. Would recommend to anyone. Best local sushi and Thai spot!
The food was great
The place smelled and it is not clean at all. It was stuffy and musty and there were cobwebs on the walls going to the bathroom. The food I had made me so sick. The service was bad, we got our food at all different times so half of us weren’t eating together. Definitely will not be returning.
Good sushi & Thai food hidden in this shopping mall.
Great little Thai restaurant. Never disappoints. Love their food and service!
Very similar to their sister location. Good service, excellent food, fair pricing. Portions a little smaller than the other location but overall excellent. I recommend the pineapple fried rice, pad thai, and sushi rolls (monster my favorite).
If you want fresh and delicious sushis, this is the place to go!! Highly Recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic food and people.
Food here is consistently amazing.
Tasty good food, small portions for those who likes to eat a lot.
Good service
One of my all time favorite spots in this area. Great service!
Great little restaurant!
Just picked up 5 sushi rolls and spent $70bucks. I don’t mind spending money if the quality is worth it - but that wasn’t the case here.
The spicy tuna is giving me canned tuna vibes and the screaming orgasm has more sauce than fish. Very disappointed and would not recommend this place for sushi.
The food was fine but when I wanted to order some more items, the waiter never came to take the rest of my orders. Not sure if they judge clients by race or appearance.
Great service. Food was extremely good. Sake was amazing. Sushi was fresh. Soup and salad was on point. Best general tso I have had!
It was some of the best food I've had in a long time, easilyy one of my favorite spots to stop at
I usually get take-out at this establishment. The food is good and consistent every time. But sometimes it seems like they rushed in preparing it but it is usually consistently good.
I’ve tried the sushi here on 2 separate occasions and both times I was pretty disappointed. The Thai food I’ve had here though is great.
Me and my families fav place to eat. Staff is great, food is the best Thai I have tasted, enviorment is calm and relaxing. We come at least twice a month. Live this place!!
My wife and I were very pleased with the menu choices and our lunches were great. Excited to go back.
If you are looking for your next favorite restaurant, you have found it here at Hideko Sarasota. This restaurant is phenomenal. It tastes so delicious, fresh, and the environment here makes you feel at home. Very good energy in this business. Happy staff, the food tastes like it’s your grandma cooking in the kitchen with love. You NEED to eat here!
Love this place!
Good food
Bad service third time and still bad service
This time my son jus started to eat his pad thai and the lady looks like the ow er brings che k and to go box looks like they don't have customer service experience so I hope they improve servi e or will not survive and they make good pad thai
This is one of the best places in the area to eat. Everything I have ordered here has been phenomenal. The menu is varied and they have a large menu of teas. It's tucked into a complex with low visibility so it gets less attention than it deserves.
Pretty good if you're a bobba person they have lots of cute flavors. Pad see ew was the best dish we got but we a re a noodle family haha fried rice a little off but that's best part of dinner was the fried cheesecake. Thought it was gonna be crazy weird but it was so good :)
We have tried every sushi place in Sarasota/Bradenton and this is the one we always go back to. Probably the most underrated and unknown restaurant in all of Sarasota!
Rainbow roll and tempura roll were delicious! Also ordered a spicy tuna roll however, and it fell pretty flat.
Great food
Everything was very fresh and extremely tasty. The food was delicious and it arrived quickly. The owners and employees are very friendly, polite, and humble. Hideko Sushi-Thai is a great restaurant with amazing food. I will definitely be back here. A big shout-out to Nopparat and Boonyarat who were working hard and helping their family!
Great boba and a very Large menu of sushi and Thai food. A great nice, and quiet hole-in-the-wall place
This place is simply the best! Thai Seed doesn’t even compare.
I absolutely love the food, the people, and the environment here. The service is very friendly and they go above and beyond for their guests. The sushi is very good and their presentation of the food is unique. You can tell their kitchen is passionate about their work. Their pop roll is a personal favorite along with any of their pad Thai dishes. I highly recommend eating here for any meal of the day.

Went with a favorite, Panang curry with shrimp, Thai hot. Spice level is as advertised. Sadly, most of the veggies were zucchini, not the normally balanced mixture I've gotten elsewhere. The dinner portion was a bit smaller than others, as well. Flavor was spot on, though.
Great food,great service
I been to this restaurant about 10 times and never disappointed me.
I had the Tom yum soup they never get it wrong is very good with a nice shrimp flavor.
I like it Thi spicy and it wakes me up. 😄
I ask the wait person to choose my entrée and she cose Tempura shrimp which I was surprised by her choice but I guess fried food is always safe.
But it was very nicely done. The Tempura batter was light not burnt or oily tasting, it was complimented with a sweet basil mild spicy sauce which I really like. I wanted to ask for more sauce but I would have ending ordering more shrimp.
Vegetables where nice and crisp not too many which I like because usually they tend to over do it.
Rice was the only think I did not like very much. No that it was not good but it was not moist as usual a litte dry so it was not sticky.
I like to pick it up with my hands and make a little ball and get some of the sauce on the plate just like bread.
Service was very nice as usual.
I will definitely go back.
Accidentally ran into a family member here, I've been going for a few years now and their food s great. I had a special there years ago which tasted and looked amazing. They send plates out looking beautiful.
Really good Thai Cashew! Lunch portion is a little small, but great food!
My favorite sushi place sooo good I always get to go and it's always sooo good won't go anywhere but here for sushi
This is my favorite sushi place...its always fresh and tasty...buc and roll is my favorite!
Best staff that are so friendly!!
Food is always top notch!!
Recently moved to town and came here for lunch. It was delightful! I ordered the lunch 'bento box' that included 2 sushi rolls, a soup, salad and spring roll. It was a lot of food! My husband ordered the Lava Roll and it was just as good and filling. The waitress was great and generous also! We will be back!!
Very fresh! Very Authentic! Service was excellent!
The best and most flavorful Chinese and Thai food i have ever eaten. General Tso....amazing
I used to go to this place at least once a week. The food here is very delicious whether you get the Thai food or the sushi. It always comes out amazing. The place is clean and the staff are super friendly. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to come often anymore since moving to University and starting my career in another city. I miss this place, but if you’re in the area you should definitely check it out!
I am a sushi enthusiast and this is my new favorite sushi place! Each sushi has a unique but flavorful, deliciousness to them. My 2 personal favorite rolls they have there are the Baba Roll and the Lava Special Roll, I highly recommend checking this place out!
Cant order wrong
First time ordering today. WOW! Amazing food. We had 2 different soups, several stir fries and sushi. Everything was excellent. I opted for "hot" on the spicy scale. It was perfect.
Best Thai food I have had in a while.
The staff are very friendly. I ordered the Pad See Eew which is my favorite Thai dish. Although it was flavorful it did not have enough Thai soy sauce and Thai black soy sauce and had too much sugar. The vegetables were not the usual ones and the noodles were not the extra wide ones normally used in this dish. It was good if you're not very familiar with this dish and I'm sure most people would truly enjoy it. But after living in Bangkok for 13 years I expected the same taste so I was disappointed. (And yes, I've found it made in other states more authentic). I will say again that the average person would find this quite delicious but it's not for me. I just can't give it a high star rating.
Great food!
Great steamed dumplings and fresh sushi was good with some unique rolls.
Delicious
Pad Thai!!! Definitely my go too and it was on point. I have to try the drunken noodles next.
Not good. Will not return. Mushy fried rice. Did not finish. " that is how they make it ". Thi seed soo much better.
Very attentive and kind service. Food was clean and delicious.
This is definitely a must if you're in the area looking for Sushi/Thai food. Each dish has a unique and delightful flavor for an adequate price. It would probably work best for dates and/or casual eat-outs.
Really good sushi and Pad Thai
Really good food, fair prices, and very friendly people operating the place. One of my new favorites.
Absolutely fantastic!! What a great place! The food is sooo amazing. First the fresh spring rolls, so fresh and tasty. And then the Pad Thai, I almost have no words to describe how amazing tasty that was! The sauce was so tastfull. And a giant portion! For real Thai food go over here. The staff is very nice!
Great prices and good sushi and Thai dishes.
Always great food and friendly staff
Amazing! We were pleasantly surprised! Being a snowbird from Toronto (which is hugely multicultural and a mecca for Thai food) I've had a hard time finding half-decent Thai in Sarasota. I've passed this place daily for years and kept forgetting to try it out. Maybe something about the dingy plaza turned me off, but I was so very wrong. I feel sad for all the years wasted not indulging! Totally hit the spot and made wonderful accommodations for our issues with certain additives! Everyone was moaning as they ate. We wanted to order it again the next day. No critiques... but I'd love to see them add Curry Pad Thai to the menu. Apparently it's a Toronto thing, but I'm all about bringing it to Sarasota. I think Hideko would knock it out of the park.
The JB Tempura, Spicy Tuna rolls were great. Along with the garlic and black pepper beef stir fry. I'd upload photos but I ate it too fast. Prices are good for what you get.
Good food but not authentic. I lived in Thailand and this is not authentic Thai food. I am guessing they are cooking for the American palate. The food was hot but I was very disappointed because I wanted authentic Thai food.
The 3 of us were all very pleased with our meals, would recommend the ginger with pork. So good
Very good food in a cozy, comfortable atmosphere. Good sushi and thai choices. We had drunken noodles, and the green curry, which was very spicy. My partner said it's one of the best he's ever had!
Great place!
Wonderful staff, atmosphere, and food!
I haven't eaten here yet, but I did have the strawberry bubble tea. It was soooo good! Highly recommend it.
Great place!!!
Nice staff, clean and fresh tasting sushi
Nice, clean place with excellent Thai food and attentive service.
It is a really nice place, with good ambiance and the food is delicious. Highly recommended.
It's always difficult to produce quality Thai food in a restaurant format. The best Thai food you will ever taste will be in a Thai home, but these lovely Thai people do their very best and present a great product. If you are very familiar with Thai food, these accomodating folks will even make it just the way you want.
Went on a Monday night with a group of 6 people. Staff is friendly and willing to accommodate reasonable special requests. Everyone enjoyed their food. Will be going back!
Excellent
Most top best sushi, curry and noodles
Best lunch palce around
Food is excellent but the staff could be a little more welcoming and warm.
Good Thai food. Okay sushi. Friendly staff.
Good food. Love that they remember you
The food was some of the best Thai food that i have had the privilege of eating. I say that upfront because of the story that I present. The staff are professional and adaptable. Case in point, the fire alarm went off right as my wife and I began eating our meal. There were two other tables occupied during our visit, so not many patrons were inconvenienced by this interruption, but still, the noise was pretty unbearable. One couple actually did leave. My wife and I were at a table that was directly underneath the alarm, so we received the full blast of it's message. Before we could ask for our table to be moved, the waitress told us that they were going to move some tables out in front of their restaurant. They already had a plan, and were setting it in motion.
Turns out, that before the alarm, the staff had been discussing outdoor seating. This interruption sounds like the push that they needed, because sitting outside there was actually quite nice.
Gave a good review at Christmas, however something has changed . We went back tonight and everything has changed! Had to send my meal back! Pad Thai. Was not edible! Vegan sushi not even close to what it was! Must be new owners, very sad ,as this was our favorite restaurant, we probably will not be returning. I do want to add, most of the other people seemed to be enjoying their meal that night and the workers were very nice.
Fantastic food and service! We sat at the sushi bar and ordered spicy tuna without the mayo. The sushi chef was very accommodating and made the tuna spicy without it and was sti fantastic. This place is definately a hidden gem and will be back to dine again.
Excellent service, clean, nicely furnished and delicious food!
Wonderful atmosphere, service and food! We will go back.
Awesome food.
Great food and service
Best Thai food in the Sarasota-Bradenton area! A wonderful family run restaurant where they take the time to do the small extra things that make this place so wonderful. I've never had sushi here but what I've seen look good. Every type of dish has been phenomenal. I've enjoyed a number of different curries as well as the classic pad thai and tom yum soup. If you are thinking about this restaurant you should absolutely go here in my opinion
Great lunch spot. The bento box was perfect.
Excellent sushi!
This place is a short drive for me, and I absolutely looove Thai food! The location is pretty unassuming and was strangely empty when we arrived 8:30pm on a Saturday night. I ordered the green curry. My partner ordered the pork stir fry I believe. The sauces of both of these very delicious. The vegetables in my curry could have been a little fresher (I think the peas & carrots were either previously canned or frozen), but everything considered, it was still delectable! For dessert, I was close to trying the fried bananas. But, our very polite waitress suggested we try the fried ice cream. It was heavenly, and I was glad she pointed us to it as I tend to avoid super rich desserts. The service was excellent. The food came out quickly. The prices are similar to other Thai restaurants in Sarasota. This is definitely a nice place to check out if you're looking for Thai food in this part of town.
Closed on a Saturday
Small place great food and service.
I am not a huge thai food fan, but the menu was very diverse and the service was good.
Great Thai close to home, friendly staff too!!
I normally get stir-fried noodle dishes, always delicious!
A hidden treasure. Best Sushi in Town.
I absolutely love this Thai place! I also have a shop in the plaza and I swear I eat it every other day!! It's so good!! I always get to go and the presentation it so great! They wrap the food in foil before putting in styrofoam and it holds in the flavor and somehow EVERY time the vegetables are cooked perfectly adente! This is a must try for Lunch or Dinner it's just amazing! My 2 favorites are the Pad Thai and the Chicken fried rice! They have amazing flavor! We absolutely love it! Come see me around the corner at Butterfly Boutique!
Great Thai and OK sushi
Excellent food, fast and friendly service. Atmosphere is intimate and relaxed. There was even a very talented guitar player entertaining when we visited. Try the Florida roll!
Excellent food and service.
Excellent food and service!!
Really an excellent hole in the wall, with good sashimi and a cheerful owner on site.
Best Thai in Sarasota
Food is very good. I liked the eel sushi. I'm not saying I haven't had a little bit better, but it was very good. The Pad Thai was very good. If you like hot stuff and your proud, get it Thai spicy - omg. It was hot. Just accept the fact your eyes and nose are going to run and finish it. I will go there again.
Fantastic and at the right price.
Amazing service, food is always great sushi or thai.
Just went there yesterday. Everything we had was very good.
I wish I could give Hideko 6 stars! I can’t believe how lucky I am to have discovered this restaurant because everything on their menu is excellent! Their sushi is so addictive and their pad thai is the best I’ve ever had!
Reasonably priced and excellent service. Tampa, spicy salmon and Monster rolls were excellent!
Amazing Service wonderful staff fresh food.
New favorite Sushi place!
Ask for Sara she's great
Pretty great Thai food and sushi. A welcome surprise for the area.
Great food! Great service! Pricing good. Atmosphere good.
Wonderful staff, service, and food. Perfect Tempura and Pad Thai.
People could not be nicer! Good great. Good local place.
