The food here was spot on. Excellent flavor and very generous portions. It’s always nice to find a Thai restaurant that sets itself apart from the rest. They have dishes that are not the same as you expect in May Thai restaurants. I highly suggest one of their specialties “Yum Pla Special”. It is white fish that is crispy fried and served over a bed of red onions,cilantro, lemon leaf and lemongrass with a refreshing lime juice dressing. I happen to like Thai Hot and this tasted amazing as a spicy dish.
Peter had the Thai Noodle soup and I have to say that the broth was superb and plenty of meat and noodles in it. The portion again was very generous. The two of us were able to split it and both had decent size bowls.
Something else not found at any Thai restraint that I’ve been to in Orlando was their “Moo Ping” skewers of marinated pork with lemongrass sauce.
And stupid me remembered to write something about this place and the food after we finished lunch. So I forgot to take pictures. But trust me, this place will be seeing my rerun business.
The entire staff are all friendly and even excited to be able to talk to Peter in Thai.
You have to try it.
This is an amazing place to eat. New restaurant with an excellent food. Everything is good. Friendly people, Nina (owner) guide you to try the best of the best. Loved Crispy duck with Panang curry. Highly recommended. Everything you try will be a good experience. Best Thai restaurant after try so many. Pop Thai continue serving good food.
Service was great! Almost too great 😅 The soup salad + dumplings add on to the lunch combo was amazing. I was slightly disappointed in my pad Thai, but it’s been so long since I’ve had it in general. They have nice portions though! The sauce just wasn’t for me, but my man scarfed down his Thai chili jam. We went in there Friday lunch & it was very chill.
I tried this place for the first time today and it didn’t disappoint. We had the Pop Thai fried rice, fried cream cheese wonton, Thai crackle shrimp, tofu panang curry, pad se-ew, tamago nigiri, and unagi nigiri. All of the food was good, except I don’t think the fried cream cheese wonton actually had shrimp in it although it’s supposed to. The Pop Thai fried rice had a lot of lump crab meat, and shrimp. I got it medium, so it had a nice kick to it. It was delicious! The Thai crackle shrimp was crispy and good. Unfortunately the shrimp did have tails on them. The fried cream cheese wonton was good, except for the lack of shrimp. The tofu panang curry was good and had a nice kick to it, although it wasn’t very hot for how Thai hot should be, but honestly I haven’t been to a place where Thai hot is too hot for me, and I don’t have much spice tolerance. The pad se-ew, and both nigiris were good. I definitely want to come back and try some other dishes.
Casual and clean. Server was a little inattentive. Vegan tofu pad Thai was good but was a little heavy on the oil, light on tamarind, and no basil. That being said, the veggies were fresh, not frozen and the noodles were cooked just right.
Great place for lunch or casual get together.

Service and food were amazing. Nice atmosphere. Definitely, I will be back.
I decided not to take my phone into the restaurant so no pictures on this review… sorry but I will say pop Thai has a nice, warm and welcoming feeling when you enter. They were very attentive to us and reminded us the kitchen was closing in case we wanted to order anymore food or desert which I thought was very thoughtful. I has the Stars and Stripes roll and the JB roll. I didn’t like the taste of warm cream cheese on the JB roll. I know it was a fried roll but I guess having hot cream cheese was an afterthought. The stars and strips was very tasty except they didn’t leave the tuna nice square pieces. They beat the tuna here. When I say that I mean they cut it and cut it and chop it until it’s mush. I feel that it takes the integrity away from the fish and doesn’t taste the same. The appetizer combo A was delicious and the mango sake was perfect. #tryit
Update: pop Thai is doing great. I had the Stars and Stripes again and my boyfriend told me I didn’t complain about the mushy tuna. It was good. This time we had the fried gyozas which where delicious and not greasy. My boyfriend ordered the drunken rice and omg…. Delicious!!!! I couldn’t pin what I was tasting. Maybe mint leaves or ginger but it wasn’t like this greasy nasty rice I usually get from my local Asian place. The meat was tender, the peppers were cooked but still crunchy. Which was great cause who like mushy peppers! #musttry
Staff, Chef and food is amazing. Very quick service, presentation and taste is to die for. Will definitely come back.
I went to Pop Thai for Sunday lunch, and the experience was really enjoyable. They have a really nice hot ginger tea, as well as other hot teas and the standard sodas. We tried the spring rolls and the ebi roll- spring rolls were really hot and crunchy like they'd just come out of the frier, and the ebi roll was really tasty and fresh, with a nice crunch from all the veggies. We ordered some sushi rolls, a red shrimp curry, a Thai paradise (fried fish with green curry), and a salmon and avocado salad. The presentation on all of the dishes was beautiful, and everything was fresh and well prepared. The shrimp were great because they weren't over cooked, and were quite juicy.
I would definitely come back here, although if you're looking for really authentically spicy Thai food, you'll have to specify that you want the heat - otherwise I would say the dishes are definitely adapted for western tastes/palates. They do have different heat levels, so you can ask for something spicier, so it's a great option if you're going with a group of people of varied taste buds since you should be able to ask them to adapt the dishes accordingly.
The staff were really kind, and they checked up on us and cleared plates we left to the corner of the table. We didn't try any desserts this time, but their list looked interesting, and I would like to try their mango sticky rice next time (although that is seasonal, so it's not always available).
I had the pleasure of dining at this exceptional Thai restaurant and it was an absolute delight! From the moment I stepped in, the ambiance transported me to Thailand with its charming decor and warm lighting. The menu offered a diverse range of authentic Thai dishes bursting with flavors that were an absolute treat for my taste buds. The service was impeccable, with the staff being attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. If you're a fan of Thai cuisine, this restaurant is a must-visit. It's an unforgettable culinary journey that I can't wait to embark on again!
Excellent taste for the $ spent. Very friendly staff and exceptionally fast service. We tried the drunken noodles and rice. Food is amazing.

We were vacationing from Virginia and stopped by after a day at the science museum and before heading to the airport. I’m always a bit hesitant to try new Thai restaurants but this place did not disappoint! We ordered Pop Thai rice, beef fried rice, chicken satay and sticky rice for my picky daughter and a no-veggie Pad-Se-Ew for my picky son. We didn’t leave a grain of rice or noodle on those plates! Everything was absolutely delicious! And the service was super quick too. We were in and out in 30 minutes and with plenty of time to get to the airport with no rush. Loved this restaurant and will pin it for the next time we are in town.
