1st time customer, overall really enjoyed the meal. Food was ready quickly. The amount of green curry was great, just wish rice portion was a bit larger to go with the ample curry size, as it will last me 2 meals. Same for Pad Thai, good flavor and portion size. Flavors were excellent on both!

Ordered a medium spice level for both meals, which I will need to downgrade to mild or somewhere in between, as I was sweating while eating. Not a negative, just learning my spice level for Thai Mama's food.

Atmosphere cateorgy is hard to rate since really just take out. Will definitely try again and other dishes!

The place looks authentic, but it has nothing to do with authenticity. I've had Tom Yum about 100 times, cooked it myself around 30 times, and I know not only how it tastes but also how it should look. I've been to Thailand, so I know what I'm talking about.

The Tom Yum with seafood I ordered had nothing in common with the real dish besides the name. Not every spicy soup with seafood can be called Tom Yum.

There was too little coconut milk, and the spiciness was unpleasantly harsh, rather than the enjoyable heat a real Tom Yum should have.

The tomatoes should be cherry, not regular ones roughly chopped. Red onion might be acceptable, but not in such large amounts. And all this for $20?

I don’t recommend it. Never coming back.

Best Thai food place around!!! Love the Thai hot pad Thai noodles...beef, chicken or tofu are all amazingly delicious. 👏

Diner Review №9

Diner Review №10

The thai tea was really sweet and ruins the after taste. Does NOT hit the spot. The pad thai is an abomination. Didn't know it could be ruined like that. It was soaked in oil and the something smelled fermented ruining the taste and smell. The only saving grace was their green curry. If you get anything, stick to the curries. Enjoy.

Diner Review №11

Had a delicious yellow curry

Diner Review №12

Great vegan options! 🌱

Diner Review №13

Wow this place is wonderful. One of the best in Tampa. Great flavors and spice across so many different dishes. Just wish they had a real sit-down location rather than just to-go!!

Diner Review №14

Did takeout for dinner. Good Thai food, the curries are excellent and the Tom Kha Gai is really tasty.

Diner Review №15

Loveeee this place. I get the amazing chicken and it's delicious. My fiance gets the pad Thai and loves it. Food is consistent and made quickly.

Diner Review №16

Pick up was ready on time, the food was excellent, I requested hot/spicy and they met my request. The Mango Rice is the best I ever had and I have been to Thailand multiple times. Tried the Thai Shrimp in a blanket was exquisite

Diner Review №17

Wow! Totally unexpected absolutely fresh, tasty, and visually appealing authentic Thai made from the loving hands of Thai Mama herself. The owners are so warm and friendly and we can't wait to come back! Seriously the food you would expect at a high end Thai restaurant not a little hidden take out unassuming gem.This place is for pick up, take out, or Uber eats only.

Diner Review №18

The food was fresh and delicious! Great portion sizes too!

Diner Review №19

Delicious!!! Love the Penang curry!!!

Diner Review №20

Small mom and pop business that is definitely worth a visit! My first visit tried the Drunken Noodles and Pad Thai, both meals were great!

Diner Review №21

In a nutshell:Take-out place offering plenty of vegetarian options and lots of food for a decent price.
They don't have a vegetarian menu or menu section but they do know the difference between vegan, vegetarian, and actually asked me about my tolerance for fish sauce and egg noodles. They offer most of the menu without fish sauce and with tofu as the protein. I was very happy with all the choices. The ginger tofu stir fry came with enough rice to feed a small family and the fry was decent and even without rice plenty of food.

Diner Review №22

I have visited Thai Mama a few times in the last several years, and every time I go, it is absolutely outstanding! The food is great better than any other Thai restaurant I have been to in Carrollwood Or Tampa so far.
My only complaint is that they are only a takeout place and not really a dine in type of place. It’s still excellent. You can always go to a picnic area or your office lol. I took it home this time and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Diner Review №23

Stopped in by accident and now it's a new favorite! Was easy to make vegan substitutions and the massaman curry was fastastic, great flavor profile and the tofu was fried prefectly, the pineapple fried rice with tofu instead of egg had a great spice and the veggies were all very fresh. Can't wait to go back!

Diner Review №24

Great service, great food!

Diner Review №25

The food is AMAZING ! Large portions that will fill you up or give you a second meal. Hard working mom and pop restaurant , made with love.

I had the Pineapple Curry and it was delicious! I went with three friends and we all loved it! My food was mild (as I ordered) and my friends were very happy with the amount of "heat" they wanted. This is definitely on my list of favorite restaurants. Seating is minimal.

Diner Review №34

Diner Review №35

Really wonderful Thai food. Only reason for 3 stars on atmosphere is that it’s take-out only which isn’t a knock. It’s just that atmosphere isn’t really a factor. I ordered the spring rolls, panang curry and chicken fried rice. Everything was delicious and I look forward to trying more items on the menu!

Diner Review №36

The fried rice is a hit every time..

Diner Review №37

Diner Review №38

We ordered delivery and service was fast and the food was AMAZING !!! Highly recommend for excellent Thai food.

Diner Review №39

This is Take Out only. Its not noticeable from road except a small sign.. its on the very left of the strip mall. Look up website for address. Very small counter. Short wait. I got Red Curry hot. When I hot home and opened it smelled so good. The rice was fluffy. The Red Curry was one of th re best I have had in this area. And it was hot spicy. They use fresh ingredients and a lot of flavor. This is my new goto for Asian.

Diner Review №41

Thanks Ryan for recommending this very tiny, very delicious and very humble hidden gem! I can't say I'm an expert in Thai food having only been to Bangkok for two days. But, I can say this is the best tasting and least expensive Thai food we've ever had in the US!

You can't eat in since there are no tables! No problem! To go it is!

The assortment of soups and dishes my wonderful wife ordered for us were very flavorful and sweat inducing! They were just medium heat!

My pineapple fried rice was incredibly flavored and the Pad Thai was easily the most fragrant, flavorful and satisfying I've ever had in the Tampa area.

Thanks Thai Mama who personally whipped up our taste sensations! Will try calling ahead nice time! Life is good with amazing Thai!

Diner Review №42

Every dish here is amazing! Not to mention the sweetest staff. I became a regular first day I tried this spot! Love it! 🥰

Diner Review №43

What an excellent find! Hugely tasty food!

Diner Review №44

The pineapple fried rice was phenomenal, and the portion was more than enough. The gentleman at the counter was also very informative about the menu and answered all the vegan questions.

Diner Review №45

Second time coming here and the curry is delish!

Diner Review №46

Great food, best Pad Thai I've had in Tampa in my opinion. Basil fried rice was great, both dishes were very authentic and homey. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for some good Thai food in the TC area

Diner Review №47

Diner Review №48

We asked for the Tom Kah Gai and for the beef fried rice, excellent quality, amazing flavor. Best Thai place we have tried, highly recommend, just take not that is not a sit-in restaurant, they have just have a couple of tables in case you want to eat there but is mainly carry out. Excellent place, great food and great service.

Diner Review №57

This spot? Husband and wife-owned, dishing out real deal Thai takeout with big flavors. It's got that charming hole-in-the-wall vibe that we absolutely adore.

Let me tell you about their veggie wonton noodle soup - it's my medicine. I swear, I order it every time I'm feeling a little under the weather (or just having a serious craving).

Now, the only downside is they shut shop on the weekends to gear up for the week. But honestly, it's worth the weekday wait!

Diner Review №58

Best pad Thai around

Diner Review №59

The food is so yummy 😋

Diner Review №60

Diner Review №61

The food is delicious. Service is excellent. You’re missing out if you haven’t given them a try.

Diner Review №62

Highly recommend! If you never had Thai, this is the most authentic tasting food that makes you feel like you’re sitting in a restaurant in Thailand. The customer service is always fantastic. If you need a recommendation get the Pad see ew or the Panang chicken.

Diner Review №63

Really good and fresh Thai food to go.

Diner Review №64

The flavor of the drunken noodles was great. The overall dish was dry. Needs more sauce. Tom Yum soup was great. Food was hot when picked up. Would definetly try again.

Diner Review №65

Having lived in Thailand in my early 20’s I often called it my second home. After coming back to the states I struggled to find even half decent Thai food.. don’t go to any other spot in Tampa!! Trust me I’ve tried them all, this family cooks authentic Thai cuisine and if you want it spicy, you can get it SPICY!! Seriously this is the place to eat if you want real flavor.

Diner Review №66

Always great food! Friendly and fast service.

Diner Review №67

Had Thai Mama for the first time tonight and it won’t be the last. The food arrived within the projected time and came to us piping hot! It was fresh and delicious. The portions were excellent, so much so that I now have food for lunch!

So rude! I called to ask about items on the menu and the person was asking what type of food is that? I am calling to ask you and if I pronounced incorrectly it’s obviously because I need an explanation!
You saved me a trip!

Diner Review №75

Diner Review №76

We love the delicious food!! The staff is friendly! Very close to our house 👍!

Diner Review №77

they have the biggest spring rolls I have ever seen in my life. Super delicious Pad Thai. I ordered my Pad Thai medium and it was the perfect amount of heat In my opinion and there’s plenty of sauce so you never have dry noodles it was totally worth and highly recommend.

Diner Review №78

We enjoyed the food

Diner Review №79

Great.

I had panang curry for the first time and I really liked it. The curry was soupy. I mixed all my jasmine rice with it, and it's so good. The portion is good for at least two servings.

Chicken pad Thai was delicious. Fast and friendly service when it’s take out night.

Diner Review №90

This was my first time ordering from Thai Mama. The food was awesome. I will definitely order from them again
If there were 20 stars, I would have chosen 20.

Diner Review №91

I really like my yellow Curry but never had it with pineapple. So was the noodles. The crab rangoon wasn't the best I've had, not sure there was any crab in it but it tasted good with the duck sauce.

Diner Review №92

One of the best Thai meals I have had in a whileeeeeeee. Loved everything

Diner Review №93

On a recommendation from the Comfort Suites staff down the street I gave them a try. Wow they are right! Food is songbook, nice portion size and fair price. The Pad Kee Mao or Drunken Noodles were perfect. The right amount of sauce, not swimming in it, and the proportions of items to noodles was well balanced. Wish I had more time to go back. Owners are a husband and wife team and she is from Thailand. Cannot get more authentic than that.

Diner Review №94

The best Thai in town! Must try.

Diner Review №95

Diner Review №96

Take out and delivery only. NO dine in but food is on point! 👌

Diner Review №97

GAWD awful - have NO IDEA what other reviews are about. Ordered two large Tom Ka soups with extra shrimp plus spring rolls. Handed two soups w extra shrimp PLUS two orders of jumbo shrimp, plus spring rolls and a bill for $73. We were starving but threw most away and spent the rest of the day feeling sick. Shrimp in soup was old and chewy, Jumbo shrimp was stringy, old, coated with a very thick layer of inedible, oil-soaked dough! NEVER AGAIN!

Diner Review №98

Hands down best home made Thai food in tampa, Lek (Thai mama) and Glenn (Thai papa) are wonderful people and such hard workers. I can always count on Thai mama to satisfy my appetite. The spicy beef pad Thai and chicken fried rice are awesome. I never go without an order ofThai egg rolls! Drunken noodles are delicious, Crab Rangoon’s are yummy too. Thai donuts are a must have as well.

Great Thai food, they are 100x BETTER than Siam Thai on Linebaugh.

Diner Review №99

Diner Review №100

It’s a shame I can only give Thai Mamma 5 stars.
We moved from Seattle 12 years ago and we had given up finding really good Thai. So I make my own, until now. This was amazing!!!!
Let’s talk portions: I alway want quality over quantity. Thai Mamma does both-brilliantly.
Shrimp? Nonono Scampi!!! Massive prawns in both the Tom yum ka and the pad thai.
The soup was yummy beyond words-better than anything I have had-ever!!
Panang was great according to my husband.
I want to be buried in the pad thai. Sooooo freaking good!!
We will be back-OFTEN
Sorry no photos of the food- only empty cartons left

Glenn and Thai mama are the most wonderful people! Seriously can’t get enough of their food, all their dishes are amazing and leave me wanting more. I gotta get Thai mama at least twice a month otherwise I get Thai food withdrawals

Diner Review №104

Amazing thai food in Tampa
Tom kha soup is amazing

Diner Review №105

I was recommended this place by my professor and I finally had tried it. I love Thai food and I constantly get it because I enjoy it. I had their pad see eew with chicken and I thought it was OK. I got it medium spicy but it was a bit spicier than I expected. I have had better Thai food but this place is not bad. I would give them another try more. Their prices are not bad at all. They’re cheaper than other Thai places in the area. You get plenty of food. They’re fast by the time I ordered and got there it was ready to go. Plenty of parking too

Diner Review №106

I had the red panang curry and it's delicious!!!

Diner Review №107

Did Uber eats, gave specific instructions no mushrooms, no bamboo shoots, chop and dice chicken….none of that happened. Called and asked for a manager…he said we got none of those instructions….then got confrontational with me and added no resolution to the problem….and said how is this my problem….seriously?

No accountability….will never order from here again and will tell others of my experience.

Diner Review №108

Every time I go there, the man working the counter is always so sweet and tells me to be careful because it's really hot and to make sure I have a fantastic night. I thought the tofu was way too over cooked the first time, so this time I ordered fresh tofu and it was perfect. Spice levels were on point. I ordered tom kha. And then also yellow curry with vegetables and fresh tofu(it usually comes with pineapple so personally I order without) I get Thai hot) it's the perfectly spicy.The flavors are always so yummy. The portions are good too. Definitely my favorite Thai place in tampa

Diner Review №109

Diner Review №110

Their food is delicious.. Love the pad thai, drunken noodles, Curries, and their mango sticky rice.

Diner Review №111

Amazing food; friendly family. My kids ask my wife and I for “Mama Thai” every week.

Diner Review №112

Best Thai food outside of Thailand. Saucy Pad Thai and Pad See Ew, flavorful with great portions and reasonable prices. We drive 45 minutes to eat here, no other Thai food will do!

Diner Review №115

Let me just start by saying after I ordered my food I called them up to tell them how good my food tasted wow!!! I ordered the sweet-and-sour chicken and two eggrolls it’s the best sweet-and-sour chicken I’ve ever had in my life hands-down I go by there all the time and I kept meaning to try it out I kept reading the reviews and I’m like man this place must be pretty good I’m gonna just drive over there and get something well… wow!! I called them back on the phone and told them to go back there and tell your cooks man that this is like the best sweet-and-sour chicken I’ve ever had in my life it was so good and so here I am writing this review this place is really really good I’m gonna go back and try like so much more stuff I’m gonna probably go there like once a week now and it’s like healthy what a difference between this and even Chinese take out or restaurants with Hibachi there’s no comparison I’ll never order from Tokyo again unless I want sushi👍

Diner Review №116

Just tried food from here for the 1st time tonight. SO GOOD! We will definitely be ordering again. Quality, authentic thai!

Diner Review №117

I order from here quite often and their food is ALWAYS on pointe. I've had their Drunken Noodles and Pad Thai, Mango Sticky Rice, Chicken Fried Rice, Green Curry and last night I tried their Red Curry. It's always good. If you're in the mood for some Thai visit this spot you wont regret it!

Diner Review №118

So good!

Diner Review №119

I found this takeout joint recently and I am glad I did .I am in love with their food 😍 I love their Thai hot Tofu pad thai. No many joints satisfy my spice levels, but Thai mama is an exception. My husband is on the milder side though, and there is nothing to worry about as cthey got all spice levels covered. They are quick to take orders and food impressed me everytime .

Diner Review №120

I tried this place for the first time last night and when I picked up my food I was asked to leave a review. I’m a little conflicted and here is why… I ordered Thai egg rolls, steamed dumplings and chicken pad Thai medium spicy. While the tastes were very on point, the egg rolls were not crispy kind of soggy, the dumpling dough was rubbery and like several other reviews the portion size of the noodles in the pad Thai was small. Like I said, the tastes were delicious. Not sure yet if I’ll go back.

Diner Review №121

I absolutely love eating from here. I frequent and my absolute favorite dishes are their Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles. On the sweeter side, their donuts and Mango sticky rice are to die for!

Enjoy!

Diner Review №122

First time visiting the restaurant, amazing service, clean environment and food was delicious. Highly recommend.

Diner Review №123

I enjoyed a delicious curry that was served here. Such amazing and harmonizing flavors! I can't wait to come back for more.

Diner Review №124

BEST THAI FOOD IN THE 🇺🇸 HANDS DOWN. BEEN TO ALOT OF THAI CUISINE AND THEY GOT NOTHING ON THAI MAMA. WHEN YA GO SAY HELLO TO GLENN AND TELL EM ASH SENT YOU HE WILL HOOK YOU UP!!!!!

Diner Review №125

We love Thai Mama! Ever since their food truck days until now, they've always served up great food!

Diner Review №126

Holy smokes. This place is too legit. I just got the Thai Hot Green Curry and it’s fantastic. I want curry to blow smoke out of my ears. This is the real deal. 15 out of 5 madones. Take care, brush ya hair, don’t rub your eyes.

Diner Review №127

Thai Mama is serving up some delicious dishes that are perfectly balanced with fresh ingredients and accurate portion size. I had the Pork Won Ton Soup. A lot of places ruin this soup with overly salting or adding too much oil or butter. That's not the case with Thai Mama’s prep of this item. Their preparation tasted light and fresh with broccoli, carrot, cabbage, zucchini, bean sprouts. I also tired their Drunken Noodles - stir fried pad Thai with broccoli, egg, carrot and Thai oyster sauce. This dish by itself also tasted light and bursting with delis opus goodness. The veggies were cooked through yet crunchy, the noodles were soft but not mushy. The oyster sauce portion was perfectly balanced to draw out the overall flavor without any overpowering of any one ingredient. I decided to combine these two items together that resulted in a hearty and mouthwatering noodle soup with meat, wonton, veggies, and broth. SECRET TIP : Combined these two items complemented each other while enhancing the taste, in my opinion 10 fold. :-) I was thrilled at this discovery. I did delivery this time, so this review is strictly on the food. When it's safer I will surely return to try more of their items.

Diner Review №128

Very nice little restaurant. The food is made fresh and tastes like it as well.

I had the egg rolls and massaman curry with shrimp, Thai hot.

The egg rolls were just super amazing. Extremely fresh and crispy, not oily or greasy in the least. I could have eaten a dozen of those rolls and it would have made my day. The curry was so scrumptious as well.

It was very hot, which is what I love but the flavors are still singing through. The various spices with that coconut milk backdrop is what keeps me coming back even though my mouth is on fire and I'm sweating.

This is definitely a place I will return to see what other magical meals are available.

Diner Review №129

We got the chicken pad Thai and chicken sweet and sour. The pad thai tasted like it has rotted and the chicken sweet & sour sauce tasted like canned tomato sauce and was watery. We frequently eat Thai food and love trying new places but unfortunately won’t be back here. I hate leaving bad reviews for small businesses but it was genuinely bad. Our concern was that it really did seem like something had rotted and/ or gone bad in the food.

Diner Review №130

Diner Review №131

Great food! The rice was amazing! Quantity was not much needs to be a little more since rice is pretty cheap

Diner Review №132

Diner Review №133

Thai Mama sets the bar for Thai food!! Their panang curry is the perfect blend and the awesome sauce is exactly that - awesome! Don’t ask me what it is because I don’t know, but the flavor of every single thing I’ve tried is on point. Takeout & delivery is always hot when we eat it. The customer service is wonderful. So grateful to work down the street from here!

Diner Review №136

Pad Thai was tasty and a good portion. I requested Thai hot for this dish. While it was hot, it was not quite Thai hot. The Calamari tasted good, but the portion was small.

Diner Review №137

I regularly eat here every week and maybe twice in a week. I love the drunken noodles. I had tried them in some other places and it can't be compared. I just call ahead so the order is ready by the time I get there and it is always freshly made.

Diner Review №138

Absolutely delicious food. Everything, everytime is hot and fresh. However, portion can be hit or miss. My only recommendation to this place is please be consistent (and generous) with the portion. It is very disappointing when you open the container to eat and its just half of what you used to typically get. Hence taking off one star.

Diner Review №139

Good food

Diner Review №140

Best thai food!! Very happy with food and service.

Diner Review №141

Really good food, authentic. Good service from the owner

Diner Review №142

This is another great spot in this area. The food is just amazing around here. The flavors were so spectacular and the staff was so good to us.

Diner Review №143

I ordered the shrimp pad Thai and requested Thai hot. It was spicy and delicious! The shrimp to noodle ratio was impressive. The shrimp were ample, large, and perfectly cooked. This is the only Thai restaurant in Tampa that I have tried that can execute Thai hot that makes me sweat and sniffle. I recommend giving it a shot!

Diner Review №144

The curry (yellow and green) was very good as well as the pad thai. They were a bit spicier than expected for being medium, may try mild next time. otherwise great

Diner Review №145

Diner Review №146

Was here a couple days ago we ordered egg rolls, mild panang curry and hot pad Thai, everything was really delicious!! The egg rolls were crispy and perfect with the chili sauce, my pad Thai was excellent I would order it hot again but trying it mild next time :) the curry flavor was so refreshing, thank you every one at Thai mama

Diner Review №147

Good food!

Diner Review №148

We were searching for a good Thai spot and we found this based on the catchy Thai Mama logo. The restaurant used to be a food truck but upgraded to a free standing restaurant (in the plaza right next to Thinh An Kitchen, if you know good Vietnamese pho 🙃)

We got the drunken noodles, the red curry, and the papaya salad all with medium Thai spice.

5 stars all the way around! You can tell the love that’s put into the food and it comes out quick.

We traveled from clear across town to get it, too!

Will be back soon!

Diner Review №149

Today Shirley and I drive from Orlando to Tampa to try Thai Mama. We order Chicken Pad Thai was Amazing on Take away box,a lot of egg, bean sprout cooked perfectly。 Sauce was delicious,Shirley like the green onion,

I will be back to order again. Service was great, family oriented,I like Glen asking me how is plate spicy level.
Because this is the best part of thai Food.

We were visiting Florida recently and ordered for a large party. The person taking our order was very efficient and transparent. The food was very tasty and inexpensive. Highly recommend!!

Diner Review №151

Great food and service!

Diner Review №152

Some of the best Thai food I've ever had

Edit: It's over a year later! I still eat here and still recommend it. I love the basil fried rice but can also recommend the pumpkin curry and the donuts.

Diner Review №153

The food is AMAZING. Love love love the panang curry. The service is ok. Some days are better than others, but not super professional.

Diner Review №154

Papaya Salad had no flavor, only salty. Asked for Thai Hot, and was bearly hot. Not recommended for papaya salad.

Diner Review №155

Food is always fresh & tasty. Thai hot is the best, IMO. Sometimes the wait is excessively long.

I have been hearing great things about Thai Momma from good friends of mine for quite some time now. I finally made it over and it did not disappoint!! I got my favorite chicken pad thai and it was delicious, filled with flavor and chicken. The portion size was generous and when I got home it was still piping hot. I will be back again soon!

Diner Review №160

Wonderful people and exceptional food!
We will be back!!

Diner Review №161

Very good. They let us eat inside and gave us proper silverware. I believe they gave us free drinks, i can't tell, my boss paid. We got Thai hot, and their ultra spicy levels did not disappoint me. I was very happy with my seafood, beef, chicken, fried rice and tom yum soup. The tom yum soup was unique, even though it was so spicy, it was actually sweet when it cooled down. Price is a bit high for me, but I don't have a job. But for lower middle class and up, the price is decent for quality.

Esta muy bonito el lugar lo recomiendo

Diner Review №164

Diner Review №165

The food was extremely bland and very liquidy there was a high amount of oil in my pad Thai. There is almost no egg or chicken it was just a ton of noodle oil and a bland liquidy sauce. My mom had drunken noodles it was pretty much the same I'm really not sure how it got this many five-star reviews I'm wondering if they were almost bought at this point. I would stick to lemongrass the Thai restaurant on boy scout road or even some of the Thai restaurants in oldsmar this was highly disappointing. I was excited to support a new Thai restaurant but I don't think I'll be returning to this one again

I still eat here! Get the crab fried rice and parang curry. They moved to a brick and motor take out location off waters.

Diner Review №172

I only went to Thai Mama because it’s nearby and had great reviews. I’ve ordered pineapple curry with beef $14.99 (hot) and beef phad $11.99 (medium) and also two Thai tea.

The portions were small for the price. I was charged $2 extra for beef. The pineapple curry was ok and definitely not hot at all. The phad Thai was not good. The Thai tea was way too sweet.

The guy was on the phone while preparing my drink. He didn’t have his face mask covering over his mouth and was talking on the phone over the cup.

Diner Review №173

Not sure how this place has good ratings! Probably the Worst ever Thai food I had. Bad taste, unauthentic Thai food!

Diner Review №174

I ordered the crab fried rice and it was excellent. They even helped me make a decision on what dish to order since it was my first time at a Thai restaurant. Great service and excellent food. I’ll be back.

I have searched for over 20 years for an authentic THAI restaurant. Mama Thai is the best I have ever tasted. My favorite is the Pad Thai and fresh rolls.

I ordered my food for delivery around 12pm. They charged me almost $30.00 for the delivery, the order was in process for almost 2 hours and after that they cancel the order saying the restaurant was "temporary closed", schedule a refound that was going to take from 5 to 7 business days, and notify me after the app said the order was on its way. This was my first and last order here.

Tried on door dash, it was incredible. I am VERY critical of Thai food, because as a white girl from Wisconsin- I have strived to master Thai flavors in my own cooking. This was so so good. I had the medium red curry and the fried rice without tomato. My only critique would be for them to have side order soups for delivery and the ability to add condiments like prikh nam pla or chili oil for an up charge! Also stop hating on her for being closed on the weekends, if she can run her business and still stay closed on the weekends more power to her.

Is there a good reason you guys are always closed? I mean I get being a small business, but closed on Saturday afternoon??? You’d get a five star if you were open.

This Thai food is amazing, you can taste good ingredients and love put into the food. My favorite items were the red curry and the pad thai. Everything tasted great and I will definitely be coming back.

My wife and I were craving Thai the other day, Googled some places for to go pick up, gave this place a chance.

Nice friendly and professional ordering experience.When I got there to pick up the order, I was really delighted to see the place neat and clean.

Panang Curry was phenomenal, some of the best I’ve had. I will definitely keep this place in my weekly rotation for dinner.

Diner Review №187

Diner Review №188

Had my first experience with Thai Mama for lunch today and had the Panang Curry with chicken / medium heat and rice. My dish achieved a delicate balance between sweet and spicy, and could not have been better. Chicken was tender and rice was fluffy fresh. Can't wait to explore the rest of the menu on future visits!

Diner Review №192

Just tried this place for the first time and I know I’ll absolutely be back! I got the panang chicken curry and it was so good, fresh ingredients, and full portions! I ordered to go because of Covid but it was fast and hot when I picked it up. Finally a good Thai restaurant in Tampa!

Phenomenal! First time customers trying a few things out. Where to begin? The papaya salad was fresh. The crab fried rice was heavenly. Pad see ew and panang curry were over the top good. To finish it off we had the mango and sticky rice, IT WAS TO DIE FOR!!! We will be back!!

Ordered for pickup for the office today as I was craving me some Mama Thai, best in the Bay Area and I want to support local business during this time. Ordering was quick and easy--had us text the order and then they text back confirmation and questions. Food was hot and ready at the time they said for pickup and the owner was so nice ensuring all items were boxed and order was correct. He placed the food in a large box for easier carrying since we had over 8 orders. I opted for the Ginger Veggie as I didn't want meat. And WHOA was it fabulous!!!! So fresh tasting and full of aroma. Mmmmmm. I'll definitely have to get this again next week. :)

Delicious food

Diner Review №197

Tom yum wasn’t spicy at all (asked for maximum heat), barely had any sort of flavor to it.The whole order was underwhelming to say the least. Did even want to finish what I ordered after a few bites, what a waste of $30.

Diner Review №198

Loved it! Awesome food. Great price. Totally unexpected find. Authentic ❤️

Diner Review №199

The food here is really really good but unfortunately I will not be going back. The second to last time I went there I told them I was allergic to carrots and of course there were carrots in my food. I know people make mistakes so I went back another day and this time there was HAIR in my food. Fool me once shame on me, fool me twice shame on you. I will not go for a third time to be disappointed or disgusted. I didn't even waste my time to call and let them know because the owner can be rude and careless. If anybody knows of another place that has good thai food PLEASE let me know I have been wanting some but I refuse to go back there.
