I love this place… Don’t expect a formal experience as this is a Thai street food place in South Tampa, mainly designed for carry out at the pick up window. Just order ahead and roll in and grab the awesome food. The Pad Thai never disappoints. They always make it with the freshest of ingredients and give you enough for two meals!
Great Thai food, and relatively fast…lives up to the name. Had the pad Thai and it was good, could have used more meat but that is a personal preference. We will return and a great option for grab and go.
Phenomenal. This place lives up to the hype. It's a must try place. We stopped in on our way out of town and were blown away. The red curry has some spice (and can be made spicier if desired), the duck fried rice is amazing (not spicey,the way I prefer), the Tom ka soup was so flavorful and the thai tea is a hit. We tried a few things but because of the large portion sizes we werent able to finish it all. I don't think you can make a bad choice here and the prices are very reasonable. Apparently this place was a food truck before a brick and mortar place and they try to keep the same vibe. I.e check out the menu, order, then find your seat until the food comes out. Staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. Seriously, try this place and ignore the few bad reviews. Those people don't know what they're talking about. The place gets busy fast so that should be another sign. I don't normally write reviews but this was worth mentioning. Go and get ready to be stuffed.
Me and my boyfriend John's favorite is the Tom Ka with Shrimp. We get it every time with the sushi Mexican Roll. Always trying something new on their menu never disappoints. Shrimp and food is always fresh. Fantastic place to eat. My favorite takeout. The food is very flavorful just love it. Service is super polite. Great food for great prices. Worth ever penny. Fantastic bang for your buck. Portions amazing. I cannot tell you I been to places and nothing compares still number 1 in our book hands down. Best Kept Secret in South Tampa. Overall amazing experience. 10 Stars

I was told about Thai 5 by a customer that visits my workplace. International Cuisines was the subject of the convo so he recommended that I try it. I gotta say, very delicious & unique blend of flavors. I was very pleased with the dish I ate. I stopped in for a quick dinner. Before arriving, I looked at the menu online. I arrived and ordered fried chicken dumplings, rangoons and Duck fried rice. OH MAN!!! That Duck fried rice .....the aromatic flavors, those little green onions.....each bite was bursting with flavor! I just couldnt stop eating it!! I dined in for about 30 minutes to which all thirty, I felt like the famed Youtube International Cuisine enthusiast, Mark Wiens!! I've watched Mark savor bite after bite of Thai food followed by that trademark lean to the right and facial expression finish.... Now I know why!!! You MUST try the duck fried rice, I doubt you will be disappointed. I can't explain the taste. As mentioned before, its aromatic, like eating Basmati rice but a different flavor. All food is cooked fresh and piping hot. The staff is very polight and courteous! You get the feeling that you' re somewhere in southeast asia at a small diner, COOL FACTOR! I highly recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner or if you just dig Thai!
Was on the run and ordered their drunken noodles. SO good!!
It came out pretty quickly, but was clearly fresh and made from scratch.
I was told by the barber next door (also an awesome spot of you need a hair cut- the Perfect Image) that they have authentic spice. So they told me to start off with medium and it was perfect! I didn't notice the spice too much at first (but admittedly told them I wanted low to medium heat), but got a little of the mouth burn and watery nose half-way through. So I was very happy with the balance! They even included extra peppers and hot sauce so I could add more if I liked :)
My favorite place for Thai food in Tampa! Originally a food truck, Thai 5 has only gotten better. The restaurant is small but always busy with people eating or picking up to-go. The staff is always welcoming and remembers returning customers. Food wise, everything I've had has been amazing! Some of my favorites include the green curry with crispy tofu, tom yum soup, drunken noodles and panang curry. They also adjust the heat to your interest.
Food was great. Excellent portions, super reasonable prices, definitely a lot of bang for your buck.
A really good place to get some Thai food 👍👍 the seating is kind of limited and the food took a few minutes to make, but it was a lot and fresh too
great thai food, chicken wings are done right. Way better than any other chicken wing place out there. I tried something different this time; an eggplant dish and it was absolutely delicious. I gave 4 stars for atmosphere cause it doesn't offer indoor seating anymore since COVID-19 so their pickup window is on the busy South Dale Mabry which isn't a great atmosphere. I suggest if they can move this outdoor area in the back near their kitchen backdoor it will be a more pleasant seating area. as for the 4 stars in atmosphere if I would to give a lower star this place does not deserve due to current situation and location. it is what it is.
