Reviews
I had never heard of the amazing saute But it was coconut and peanut sauce with broccoli and your choice of protein. Absolutely delicious! We are huge fans of this place! They will definitely get repeat business from us!
I should have stopped to take a photo but I was so hungry I did not! Needless to say nothing was left!
When you grouped the tofu together, it wasn’t enough to fit in the palm of your hand.
I ordered for 4. Two curry dishes, two drunk noodle dishes, and three apps. One of the curry dishes was ordered with a hot spice level. The other three were medium spice. None of the three medium had any discernible level of spice added other than I could see a few black specks I took to possibly be a black pepper. The hot spice curry dish had a low level of spice added.
In addition to the disappointing spice level, it was noted that the two drunk noodle dishes lacked a sufficient amount of vegetables. And while the dishes were hot enough, hotter than warm but not by much, one drunk noodle dish was supposed to include chicken with an additional pork added. It only included pork.
One of the apps was Steamed dumplings and looked unusual and tasty. I have never seen dumplings like these. Served with a plumb sauce, I looked forward to trying one. It was barely above room temperature. We could have heated them in our microwave so not a big deal but still disappointing. We did not finish them.
Another app was deep fried wontons. Again, not hot. Just warm. They lacked flavor beyond the fried portion and some were left uneaten as well. It was as if the apps were prepared first and left waiting for the entrees to be made.
Other than the spice level of the curry dishes, the only other disappointment was that the sauce was too watery and not thick enough compared to other favored restaurants.
I was looking forward to having a great Thai meal so close to home. Having read the reviews I was certain this would be the spot. I hope this was a one off bad experience and not normal.
From the moment we entered the restaurant, the staff greeted us with warm smiles, setting a positive tone for the rest of the evening. The service was friendly, efficient, and prompt, showing a keen commitment to customer satisfaction. Our orders were taken quickly, and the food arrived within a reasonable timeframe, allowing us to savor our meal without unnecessary delays.
The food itself was flavorful, a showcase of Thai culinary artistry. However, there was one significant concern – the spice level. I had ordered my dish “Thai hot”, anticipating the bold, fiery flavors synonymous with Thai cuisine. Unfortunately, the spice level fell short of my expectations, leaning more toward mild than hot.
When I brought this to our waitress’s attention, her solution was to provide a spice tray rather than offering to adjust the dish in the kitchen. While I appreciated her prompt response, I couldn’t help but feel slightly disappointed by the lack of engagement in resolving the issue to my satisfaction.
Despite this minor setback, I must say that the overall dining experience was enjoyable. The ambiance was pleasant, and the remainder of the meal was delightful. This bistro undoubtedly offers a little piece of Thailand right here in Venice, Florida.
I am leaving a four-star review in the hope that Thai Bistro takes this constructive feedback into consideration and makes the necessary adjustments to ensure the ‘Thai hot’ indeed reflects the rich and fiery flavors we all love about Thai cuisine.
Thai Bistro remains a good choice for Thai food lovers, and I look forward to our next visit, hopeful for an even better experience.
