Charm Thai — Restaurant in Florida

We were here on our last night of our vacation. Unfortunately it was our last night because we would have come more often if we had known about this wonderful place before. We were a party of 8. My husband and I from Germany and our friends from Michigan with their four sons. The moment we walked in, we felt welcomed, and in the small sitting area, a table was moved together for us. The lovely young owner was so nice and friendly. And we started ordering the perfect Thai ice tea and other drinks. One after the other from our group checked out the restroom because the youngest said that Shawn, the sheep, was there. So it's worth taking a look. ;-) Our eight ordered meals came after a short while, and each one of them was sooooooo delicious. Also, the desserts! It was some of the best Thai food I have had. And believe me, I have had a lot all over the world as I am working as a flight attendant. It was a memorable last night of a vacation not only because the food was so perfect and the place so nice but also because a gentleman who we only spoke to briefly while he picked up his food, paid secretly for our whole dinner. When we wanted to pay, we were in awe on how something like that can really happen and not only in a movie. We are feeling very blessed! So thank you so much, whoever you are!!! You really gave us goosebumps and tears in our eyes. We will never forget that dinner...

Very Nice... Very nice indeed. A great flavor, had the crab fried rice. Yes, it's real crab, probably blue claw. The flavor and aroma is indeniably good too! The Spring Rolls (small egg roll type) are excellent and the sweet chili dipping sauce is pleasntly sweet and barely spicy at all. Everyone should enjoy this, even the one's that think mayonaise is a spicy condiment. The smokey chili oil is GREAT (🤠👍🏽) and yes, it's HOT(🌶️🌶️🌶️ out of 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️), not to crazy ( 🤯🥵), it's not ghost pepper hot(🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️), more like a habanero(🌶️🌶️🌶️) level. If a Jalapeno(🌶️🌶️) is too hot for you, don't try it, you'll regret it. For a semi-chili head, it's Hot(🌶️🌶️🌶️), but nice... Until the bitter(🤢🤮) kicks in, the peppers were NOT ripe when made. That's the undoing of most every pepper sauce for me. Why does everyone use GREEN / UNRIPE peppers(🤨😡🤬)? Do you not have a bitter taste reaction (a.k.a. my wife, eats baker's chocolate and says it's the best chocolate!), or do you just love the bitter taste? Anyway, enough about that. The Crab Rangoons were among the very best in Bradenton, so 👍🏽 on that. Also had two other dishes at the table, and both patrons also had 😁 big smiles about the taste. So 🤌🏽🧑🏽‍🍳👌🏽 to the chef working there! A very nice place to stop by for lunch or pickup. Everyone who picked up, had it JIT ready for them, so FRESH FRESH FRESH! Will be back to have another go at...

I don't know what I like better at Thai Cafe, the food or the friendly service. The dining room is small but really tastefully done. The dining room and kitchen are very clean. I love that you can see into the kitchen. Everything is spotless.

The food is amazing. Everything is so fresh and homemade. I've been there several times, with various friends and everyone has always left very satisfied. You can't beat the quality and price at Thai Cafe. The portions are very generous.

The Namsod, which is their version of chicken lettuce wraps is amazing. It’s more of a fork and knife dish, opposed to a wrap. It’s served cold, which I was a little surprised by, but once you get into it, you find so many fresh flavors. This dish is very healthy and a great starter. I love this dish.

The Tom Yum Goong (soup) is awesome. Large shrimp, sweet and sour, along with fresh veggies. I highly suggest this soup. I had this for lunch one day and it’s only $5.25. Another healthy option.

A friend ordered the Tom Kha Chicken (coconut soup) and she couldn’t quit raving silky texture. She said it was one of the best coconut soups she’s ever eaten.

I love the Thai Basil Fried Rice with chicken. I always ask for some of their Thai hot sauce on the side. It’s a large dish which I can’t finish, so I always have some for leftovers.

I’d encourage anyone to try this locally owned business. You will definitely be...
