Tampa downtown

Wandee Asian Fusion Thai Restaurant—let me tell you, the decor is a total mishmash, like someone threw a bunch of styles in a blender and hoped for the best 😂 But HOLY MOLY, the food? Chef’s kiss 👩🍳💋 As someone who ate nothing but Thai food for a whole month in Thailand, I’ve been shook by how lazy most Thai restaurants in the US are with their tom yum goong. Like, where’s the soul? The fire? The balance? They’re all just phoning it in, and it’s been low-key heartbreaking 😭 But finally, at Wandee—chef’s kiss again—I tasted sincerity)! This is the real deal, y’all. Yeah, the tom yum could use a tiny splash more coconut milk, but compared to 99% of Thai spots here? It’s a masterpiece 🏆 Papaya salad? Must-order. Fresh, tangy, with that perfect kick of chili—just like I had on the streets of Bangkok 🌶️ The salmon curry? The fish was a little on the firm side (maybe cooked 30 seconds too long? 🤏), but that curry sauce? Rich, creamy, packed with lemongrass and galangal flavor—I sopped every drop up with rice 🍛 Mango sticky rice? Not just tasty, but cute—the mango was perfectly ripe (sweet, juicy, fragrant 🍑), and the presentation? So pretty I almost didn’t want to eat it… almost 😋 Oh, and I tried their butterfly pea tea! That vivid blue color? So cool (it’s like drinking a piece of the sky 🌌). Tastes like a light, slightly floral —refreshing after all that spicy food 🥤 In short: Ignore the decor, come for the flavors. Wandee gets Thai food right—and that’s rare in the US. 10/10 would recommend 👍 #Patan
