🏴☠️Arrr, Gather ‘Round Ye Hungry Scallywags! A Tale of Thai Treasures at Jasmine Thai in Carrollwood!
Avast, ye landlubbers and seadogs alike! If yer belly be rumblin’ like a stormy sea and yer spirit be thirstin’ for flavors as bold as a cannon blast, then set sail for Jasmine Thai in Carrollwood, where the grub be finer than a chest o’ Spanish doubloons!
Upon steppin’ into this fine establishment, me crew and I were greeted with smiles warmer than a Caribbean sunset. The service? Why, it was smoother than a mermaid’s lullaby, faster than a pirate escapin’ the gallows! Our flagons (or rather, delicate bowls) were filled with the most savory, soul-warming soup, a broth so divine that even Davy Jones himself would trade his locker for a sip!
Now, let’s talk the feast! First came an appetizer platter fit for the most notorious buccaneers—crispy, golden delights that crackled louder than a ship’s mast in a tempest! The dipping sauces were sweeter than a siren’s song and spicier than a powder keg catchin’ fire.
Then, the main courses arrived, and by Blackbeard’s beard, they were sights to behold! The golden-fried chicken atop a bed of crisp veggies, smothered in a rich, flavorful sauce—it was a dish fit for the captain’s table! And the rice? A mighty scoop of treasure that completed the meal like a compass guidin’ us to culinary glory!
And let’s not forget the final touch—a special sauce so rich, so dark, so mysterious, it could’ve been smuggled from the Orient by a band o’ spice-running ruffians! Every bite was an adventure, every flavor a new discovery on this grand voyage of taste.
If ye be in Carrollwood and ye don’t drop anchor at Jasmine Thai, then ye be missin’ out on a feast so grand, even the ghost of Black Sam Bellamy would rise from the depths for one last bite! So grab yer crew, steer yer ship to this fine port, and prepare for a meal so legendary, it’ll be talked about ‘til the end of days!
Arrr, five doubloons outta five! Now hoist the mainsail, I need a nap...
Read moreMy wife and I were really looking forward to celebrating our 36th wedding anniversary at Jasmine Thai. After making reservations over the phone, our waitress greeted us and congratulated us on our wedding anniversary. We had made our reservation the day before, so she knew ahead of time why we were coming to their restaurant. Then she walked away, and we were waited upon by Christopher who took over. He was very arrogant. I'm not sure if he was the manager or not. He had ZERO customer skills. The food was excellent, but the customer service was horrible! All depends on what you are looking for. The rice served with the main dish is not enough to accompany your main dish, so be aware. It is the size of a SMALL Ice Cream Scoop. Additional rice is charged extra. It seems that the small scoop of rice is by design, so beware. Some of the small things we can ignore for this review, but the HORRIBLE service steers us away from an establishment as Jasmine Thai. So be prepared, don’t go there for good service! You would think that if you go there for a special event, they will offer you a little extra, a cookie or other, at Jasmin Thai, unfortunately, what you see is what you get, no frills and bad service at Jasmin Thai… Before leaving the restaurant, I even told Christopher that service could be improved and...
Read moreI’ve been trying to order food from them on Uber eats and they keep canceling the order because I quote “the owner said that Uber didn’t pay us for the Panang curry 2 times and that they only get 40% and the only cooks who understand English weren’t there so they couldn’t fulfill my order notes which is no onions, bell peppers, snap peas, or onions. Too many no’s and it confuses the cooks” but the manager told me that if I wanted to come in and order over the phone that he could translate and they would make my order how I like. I don’t understand why they can’t translate the delivery order notes like they do every time I order because it’s written in Thai on the receipt. The 2 times out of the 50 times I’ve ordered from this restaurant on Uber eats where I had to complain about the Panang curry was 1 time they forgot the shrimp and the second time the curries leaked all in the bag and the food wasn’t salvageable (pictured below). The second time I complained about the delivery driver as the restaurant did nothing wrong. They were my favorite Thai restaurant, but not they won’t deliver my order unless I get it made with no changes; I’m allergic to onions :/ and it’s a 30 minute drive away from my house so pick up isn’t an option since I work on the other...
