Isan Thai - Sarasota

We had the Hida beef and it was delicious. The chef made it right in front of us. She was amazing. The food was very fresh and tasty. Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

Isan Thai is one of my favorite Thai restaurants in town. It is so genuine, authentic, esoteric, and a gem to go to. The atmosphere of this restaurant is welcoming, open, cozy and it feels like being in Thailand itself. I’ve ordered their pad, Thai, fresh rolls, curry, and they are delectable. Their flavor profiles are on point, the consistency in the execution of their dishes is phenomenal, and the ingredients are so fresh. I always feel so satiated and healthy after eating here, and I can generally say that’s not always the case when you eat out because they tend to overload dishes with salts and fats. However, Isan Thai is superb and never has this issue. The staff are all so lovely, sweet, kind, and very welcoming. John, the front of the house manager is such a gentleman. He is so personable, knowledgeable, fun, and a joy to have a conversation with. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to have an authentic experience of Thai food, and to just be happy and satiated with the flavor profiles. It is an impressive restaurant, and I’m looking forward to actually dining in one day. It feels authentic, like home, and someplace that I would want to be at with my friends, or even on a date.

As I was browsing my reviews I noticed most of them are negative because people almost never makes time to review the great ones. Therefore I’m taking this time to give flowers to restaurants that have great food and great service. This is my go to DoorDash restaurant when visiting Sarasota. The food is absolutely delicious and it never fails. I’m always full with leftovers. Thanks for serving great food and handling my order with care. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
