For $27 dollars a meal. It’s not that good, and the portions are SMALL.

Diner Review №2

Excellent Thai food at an awesome price. Highly recommend. Will be back many times.

Diner Review №3

I’m a pad thai snob and Rouen’s version was very good.

Pad see ew excellent.

Fair prices and large portions. Five stars

This is easily my favorite Thai spot and one of my favorite places in tampa. There isn’t a bad choice on the menu.

Diner Review №7

I have done in house and take out. Rouen Thai was probably a 4.7 all along, in the last 6 years or so, I have gone there. The quality of my take out last night was below a 3. I eat Prik King almost everytime. The WORST "boiled" chicken Prik King, I have had in my Thai food eating life. Tasteless, awful and really bad! Hopefully, this was a one time thing and it will be OK next time I go there. I asked "THAI SPICE" - what I got was BOILED chicken, LOTS of carrots, crappy, boiled CAPSICUM and no taste of ginger or spice and MILD food. The fried rice was again just boiled meat in rice......C'mn guys, I like your food, get it back to what it was 2 months ago!!!!

Diner Review №8

There is a woman at this restaurant who is very rude. I wanted to use the restroom, but she refused to let me in in a strange manner. She was really odd. If this restaurant wants to be good, they need to replace her.

Diner Review №9

The absolute best Thai food in Tampa!!! All their food is absolutely delicious, the staff is so kind and attentive, and the restaurant ambiance is perfect for a date night or family dinner. Go here, you won’t regret it!

Amazing, friendly and delicious. Hard to beat how wonderful this place is.
Their green curry and chicken sa-teh are very good.

Diner Review №13

Diner Review №14

Fresh ingredients, friendly service, and unbeatable prices make this restaurant the best Thai lunch special in Tampa. My mom and I have been coming here for years and have always been impressed by how sweet the staff are, not to mention the excellent food. This restaurant is a south Tampa institution!

Diner Review №15

Amazing and friendly people!! I would definitely go here again!😊😊

UPDATE May 2024.

We have gone to Rouen Thai twice since the last update. They are back to excellence in all areas!

UPDATE DEC 2023. Noticed prices are higher-somebody has to pay for that and it is usually the consumer. I get that no issue. They redid the layout of the floor and got rid of a tripping hazard-kudos.

The food is good but not as good as it was a number of months ago.

Service. The guy forgot to bring my drink and pretended he had not heard my order. I am louder than most folks as well as my family and he got their orders ok. Say "sorry " don't lie.

They spilled some of my curry on me and made no effort to clean up. I got up and asked for a bunch of napkins. Water refills? You have to loudly demand them. Any service ar all has to be demanded. The polite efficient ladies are gone and some rude clueless guy was managing. Debating whether or not to give them a second chance.

Great food. Fast and polite service. Take out is not as great but still good. Agreat value and a great place and we just keep going back. Consistently great.

Diner Review №17

This is one of my family's go-to places in the neighborhood. The noodle dishes come out hot and fresh. We mostly do take out but have eaten in a few times. My toddler feels welcomed and comfortable.

Diner Review №18

Love their food

Diner Review №19

The food was wonderful! We had the drunken noodles and shared an appetizer and they were both delicious! Highly recommend!

Diner Review №20

Drunken Noodles were beyond delicious. Great service. 10/10 recommend

Diner Review №21

We came in 30 minutes before closing and they were happy to serve us. Had some hot sake and those Thai-style eggrolls to start with. For our entrees we had the pepper beef and the pad Thai (Thai spicy) which were both fantastic. Both entrees came very quickly and the staff was great. Will be returning!

Diner Review №23

We went as a family after my granddaughters concert! The service was perfect and the food exceptional. Everyone was accomadated with their specific requests and the prices are great! Clean bathroom and plenty of parking. Recommend!!

Diner Review №24

Best Thai food in South Tampa. I’d give customer service 10 stars if I could.

Diner Review №25

The food was bland, I sent it back.

Diner Review №26

The food was bland and proportion sizes were to small for the price.

Diner Review №27

I love eating in and taking out-of-town guests to this great Thai restaurant. They are also super fast w/take-out orders and extremely helpful and friendly.

This trip was for appetizers. No asian restaurant makes Crab Rangoon like Rouen Thai! We've tried many chinese and thai restaurants. None compare visually or edibly.

Real crab, cream cheese and curry powder. The egg rolls were a hit and eaten before I could photograph. Will add more photos next time.

Their lunch specials are great too!

Diner Review №28

The food and services were incredible! So quick and absolutely delicious! Drunken noodles were 🤤🤤🤤

Diner Review №29

First time visiting Rouen Thai. Food was really good and servers were very friendly. Would definitely return. I ordered the pineapple curry, which was pretty good. Others at my table ordered pad Thai and pad see ew and were very happy

Diner Review №30

Terrible service. Went as a group and our food was cold. Also ordered some Thai donuts. They were uncooked and we told the waitress and she said to eat around them and not the center of the donut. We thought it was a joke but she was serious.That can make people sick. She took left over back and we thought they were going to make a new free order but they just packed them to go.. Food poisoning is real. Also was kinda rude when another guy from the group told her that he ordered shrimp and she said she understood some different. Worst service Ever! A member left no tip and they also complain about that. We just can’t believe all of this was happening.

Diner Review №31

Good food good service, all the staff and owner really friendly. I love all the food they serve also you can order the dish they not show in the menu.

Diner Review №32

Diner Review №33

Pleasantly surprised. Great Thai food. A new GoTo.

Diner Review №34

Disappointed that they would box this up and serve it burnt. Other food was okay.

Diner Review №35

Literally my favorite restaurant in tampa. Ive been coming here for years and have never been disappointed or had a bad visit. Everything on the menu ive tried has been delicious and is always plated beautifully. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful and the soft lighting makes it super cozy and comfortable, the staff are always very kind as well so its a very inviting place to go. Its a favorite spot my family likes to go for birthdays and celebrations.

I get takeaway one or twice a month usually and theyve never messed up my order and everything is always packaged up really nicely to avoid spills (noodles wrapped in tinfoil in the takeaway container etc.) Its a bit pricey but it matches the quality and quantity of the food (i always end up with leftovers enough for 1-2 more meals n omatter what i order, their portions are pretty sizeable). My favs i would recommend would be the spicy chicken pad thai or the vegetable fried rice (they steam the vegetables i think so they are cooked but have a really pleasant crunch to them and they are always cut really beautifully, i never knew fried rice could be pretty but it definitely is!)

Their spring rolls, chicken rice soup, curries, pad thai and ried rice dishes would probably be my top recommendations.

I have been looking for a Thai restaurant with food as authentic and tasty as the Thai food in NYC. Finally found the place. This is THE BEST Thai food in Tampa.

Diner Review №39

Sadly the appetizer platter was poor. Only the pot stickers were good. The shrimp were just threads. Egg rolls were soggy and small. Etc. I was the only diner at 5pm although there were a few take outs.

Diner Review №40

Diner Review №41

best drunken noodles I have ever had!
sweet server!
peaceful environment.

Diner Review №42

High recommended! The food is authentic, delicious, and consistent both dine in and to go. The staff is always very friendly and the establishment is clean.

Diner Review №43

Ordered Cashew Nut Beef...$17.00. What a rip! They served me a kids portion in an ugly leaf plate you typically use for Christmas candy or find at a garage sale... they don't have mild, they start with medium which numbs your mouth and swells your tongue so plan on slurring for a while... drive a few more miles for the best Thai around... Thai Am on 4th St. in St. Pete...

Diner Review №44

Great Thai food. Fresh and delicious.

Diner Review №45

Diner Review №46

One of the best shrimp pad that and papaya salad I've ever had.

Diner Review №53

Diner Review №54

Best restaurant I've ever been to in my life. It's ruined every other Thai restaurant for me. I genuinely have never had better Thai food. Or food. It's simply the best.

Also, everyone that works there is great and make you feel very welcome 100% of the time. Love the staff there!

I very much enjoyed the red curry. The service was very nice.

Diner Review №58

A Large BOWL of soup is the size of a coffee cup. Who cares about price when you ask for one size and getting a small cup of soup

Diner Review №59

Love the food here. Reasonable prices and great service!

Diner Review №60

One of my favorite places to pick up Doordash and Uber Eats orders from! ..always fast, friendly, and rarely a wait for my orders🙏🙏

Diner Review №61

Will not be eating here again . I have been coming to this restaurant for years . And since the pandemic they raised prices and insanely decreased the portion sizes ! I got the sweet and sour chicken . I had a baby corn cut in half 95% carrots 2 slivers of chicken and 1 mushroom cut in 4 ways .. the bowl itself was bigger then my portion . I feel if you’re going to cut portion plates that much at least change the size of the plate so it’s not so noticeable . It was ridiculous for the price ! You’re better off going to a regular walk in Chinese restaurant. The parking lot was dead empty on a Saturday night and that speaks volumes in itself of how far this restaurant has fallen ! Will not be returning there anymore . The pictures on google are clearly deceiving at this point. Don’t believe me ? Look at the pictures online and go in and you will see for yourself ! Don’t waist your money here ! I definitely won’t ever again !

Diner Review №62

Wow this was not worth it ! And I use to love this place ! They raised their prices and insanely decreased the portions and plates . Literally into a very small heart shaped rice pile . And 1 mushroom cut into four pieces for my whole dish ! Definitely lost my business .

Diner Review №65

Absolutely pathetic food. Spoiled our dinner. Will avoid in future.

Diner Review №66

My favorite Thai restaurant. Come from Riverview, FL just for it.

Diner Review №67

Not the same Rouen Thai. Over the last several months they have raised their prices & decreased their portion. Asked for extra curry sauce for an extra $5 then was told that they can't give me extra curry. When I looked at my original order it was less than 1/2 way filled. Hope they fix these problems and get back to the way it used to be.

I ordered online directly from their site but then 15 minutes later I was notified by email that it had been cancelled after I was already on the way. When I called, the lady who answered said the website isn’t working. Ok, so turn it off. Lol

Anyways, she took my order over the phone and was apologetic. The food came out pretty quickly. I ordered the hot chicken pad Thai and egg rolls. Both were delicious and I’d definitely order again.

Just not from their website. 🤣

Good selection of all Asian foods

Diner Review №76

Diner Review №77

We sat down to eat, the soups came out first and they were basically mushroom soup with a few small pieces of chicken! Not ok!
We didn’t stay. There are supposed to be vegetables and flavor to the soup. This isn’t acceptable.

Diner Review №78

Awesome service and food.

Diner Review №79

Awesome food, wonderful help.delightful to visit.recomend.

No sushi, but this place is nice inside and the food was great.

Diner Review №82

We ordered thai food from Rouen Thai tonight. We placed a large order for pick up. Being such a big order, we anticipated a long wait. When I arrived for pick up, I was told the order would be a few minutes longer to prepare. The staff brought out the order in bags. I checked a few things in the bag - satisfied everything was there, I walked out the door with the various bags. When I was loading the bags in my car, a member of the waitress staff ran out to inform me i was missing part of my order and they would bring out the food. I waited a minute and the waitress delivered as promised. When I got home and divided up the food, we noticed some soup we ordered was missing. No big issue we thought as we got the soup to try rather than be a main course. 20 minutes after eating, we got a call from Rouen Thai informing us they had forgotten to include our soup and said they would credit us next time we ate there. Thank you Rouen Thai for your integrity. The food was good enough to give you a five star - realizing your mistake and making it right made us return customers.

Diner Review №83

Good America Thai Restaurant Food but not cheap

Diner Review №84

the staff was very nice and it was some of the best pad thai i’ve had, would recommend

The sweet and sour was great tasting. I was told by the staff it was gluten friendly and vegan when tofu is your selected protein.

Our favorite lunch spot in South Tampa, bar none. Fast service, great food and one of the nicest, most polite staffs I have ever known.

Diner Review №93

Quick service and always easy to get a table. Love their amazing chicken and penang curry!

Diner Review №94

As always spot on

Diner Review №95

Tasty food and friendly service!

Diner Review №96

Humble yet elegant setting. Incredible service. High-quality, authentic Thai food. I had the frog legs and my girl friend had the massaman curry. Both were great!

Diner Review №97

The BEST curry and the most friendly staff. My favorite place in Tampa.

Diner Review №98

Very good food, one of my all time favorites in South Tampa for Thai cuisine, family loves it as well.

Diner Review №99

The food is very good but the place just seems dirty. The table cloths have old food residue on them and what bothered me the most was that the server we had was sneezing and coughing. We are in a pandemic. Don’t come to work if you are sick. I suggest ordering takeout only. But considering the cleanliness of the dining room I doubt the kitchen is clean either.

Diner Review №110

Super delicious pad Thai! Great portions for the price.

Diner Review №111

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing

I was there last night to try my standard meal and I was astounded by how amazing it was. Not only was the vegetarian tofu crispy and cooked to the tea, but the vegetables were fresh and properly prepared. While the outside does not necessarily show a welcoming air, the inside was well-decorated, as most Thai restaurants are. It was also very spacious and clean. If you are a fan of Thai food, which I have obviously become, give this place a try, it's really, really good.

As always, Rouen Thai remains untouched with their exceptional service and excellent menu. My girlfriend and I order often and are never dissatisfied!
Thank you to the hard-working staff, especially during this time.
& thank you for the cute & delicious brownies! :)

My 2nd time eating here. My sister's 1st. My sister Charlene ordered for take out. We got panang curry, crab rangoon, seaweed soup & tofu with brown jasmine rice along with the banana coins and chicken rice soup. Everything was absolutely delicious! Prices decent and right down the road from our apt. Ann is super nice and professional. We were charged for 2 orders of banana coins and only got one. My sister called back and we opted to just come by and get the second order. We are half filipino and the banana coins are just like the banana turon we love so much. When this whole issue with Covid 19 blows over, this will be the first place we go out to. You will not be disappointed. Lets keep this place open!!

Diner Review №120

HANDS DOWN BEST THAI IN TAMPA! Me and my husband took out plenty of times and Ana gives real nice customer service like family there! Food is awesome!! 10/10!! Have to try! Everyone is amazing and kind here!

Diner Review №121

Great service, excellent food, and amazing vibe to this place. Can't wait to try more of the menu.

Diner Review №122

To go order was wrong !Did not get what we ordered ! Portions were very small. Not worth what we payed !

Diner Review №123

I am so disappointed! I had not been to Rouen thai in a long time. I was really looking forward to it. We decided to do take out but ordered in the restaurant. When I got home I had the duck i ordered but not the sauce I ordered. The portion of duck was smaller also. My husband ordered the pork panang. He only found 3 small pieces of pork in the entire dish. So upset i didnt even make the trip back to get what I ordered in the first place.

Diner Review №139

Probably the best table service Thai restaurant in South Tampa. The panang and drunken noodles were top notch but one of the best items in the menu is unexpected: a side order of egg fried rice. It hits every savory spot and practically melts in your mouth.

Diner Review №140

I was very hopeful to have another Thai restaurant in the area but all 4 of us believe the lunch was bland and less tasty then their competition. The service was good and the restaurant called to tell us that they forgot to give us the dry pepper to spice the meal. Nice touch but not worty going back for.

Diner Review №156

Good Thai food. Super friendly people and a low-key place that wasn't crowded. Way nicer inside than expected. Great Thai tea, and great curry. I had panang curry and he had the amazing curry—both were great! They didn't ask us our preferred spice level, so both dishes came mild; if you want a higher spice level, you may need to ask when you order. We asked for a spice tray.

Diner Review №157

Food and service were good as always.
Recommend Grouper in Chili sauce. They do a very nice job with duck dishes and the Pad Thai is excellent.
They now serve sushi as well.

Diner Review №158

Diner Review №159

The Pad Thai is amazing and the service is excellent. I've been there twice now and had an excellent experience each time.

Healthy options with brown rice and macrobiotic dishes. Really enjoyed the sushi and great happy hour.

Diner Review №166

Expensive for the quality. The fried rice is pretty good, but they are skimpy on the meat. Ordered fried duck with rice, barely any duck meat plus had a long hair in my rice. Gave this place a try 3 times. All underwhelming visits. Not horrible but not that good either.

Diner Review №167

Lovely Thai restaurant that also serves sushi.

Delicous food and good service.
If you have never tried this stuff, step outside of your comfort zone and give it a try.
Theres always chicken...or even noodles.
The only reason its not a five star review is because they were training some staff i think, or hope rather. This place should be around for a while to enjoy good noodles and thai food.

Diner Review №178

Diner Review №181

Awesome Thai food, I recommend the Beef Pad Thai!

Diner Review №182

My husband and I are foodies. We usually cook because we love flavor and spice, but always looking for a nice place to eat. This place tops the charts with quality of food and service. We have eaten at many Thai restaurants and this is by far the best. (My husband has been to Thailand and says this is a close as he has tasted)
Be sure and try this place. Very elegant setting!

Diner Review №183

Authentic thai restaurant with classic interior, good tasty food.

I've been going here for nearly four years now, and love the place overall. I would rate it five stars if not for the fact that the lunch portion sizes and spice levels have been fairly inconsistent. I order Thai hot every time and usually have to ask for the spice tray, but occasionally I'll order Thai hot and what they bring me is face numbingly hot (which is the way I like it.)

Diner Review №198

Have been a customer for years - love this place! Especially love the new sushi bar and one of the sushi chef's, Kay. The rest of the staff is great too, very attentive!
