Don’t judge this gem by its cover! Roong Aroon Thai Café may not look like much from the outside — it’s definitely more of a “hole-in-the-wall” vibe — but step inside and you’re in for a treat. The food and service here are truly outstanding.
The seating is limited, with about five four-top tables and a couple of bar stools, so I wouldn’t recommend it for large groups. That said, it’s perfect for a casual dinner or a late-night bite (yes, they’re open until 3 AM as advertised, though they did mention they sometimes open a bit later on Sundays).
We ordered the yellow curry and pad Thai — both dishes came out steaming hot and packed with flavor. The yellow curry was rich and comforting; my only tiny wish is for just a little more rice, but that seems to be the case at most places. The pad Thai was perfectly seasoned and balanced — not overly sweet or salty.
For drinks, I had the Thai tea with boba, which was sweet, creamy, and absolutely delicious. My daughter loved her strawberry milk tea, which was equally tasty.
One small suggestion would be to offer a basic kids’ menu for picky eaters — something like chicken nuggets, corn dogs, or even pizza would go a long way for families.
They don’t offer direct delivery, but you can always use your favorite delivery service or call ahead for takeout.
All in all, Roong Aroon is a hidden gem worth discovering. Friendly staff, amazing food, and a cozy atmosphere —...

Recently visited the new Roong Aroon Thai spot that just opened up in our area, and I'm beyond excited to share my experience, hoping to convince more people to give this gem a try!
First off, we started with the Thai Dumplings, which were a revelation - juicy, tender, surprisingly large, and utterly delicious.
Then, the Tom Yum soup with shrimp didn't disappoint either, boasting generous portions of shrimp and a broth that was rich in flavors.
For mains, we indulged in Pad Thai with chicken and a Massamun Chicken Curry. Both dishes were served in huge portions, packed with meat. The curry, in particular, had a tender flavor that felt very authentic and just melted in the mouth.
What also stood out was the design of the place - clean, modern, very bright, and comforting. It creates a welcoming atmosphere that complements the dining experience perfectly.
Special shoutout to our waiter, Nattanon (he likes to be called Da), whose cheerful demeanor, helpfulness, and professionalism added so much to our visit. He gave us some great suggestions and was attentive to our preferences.
For anyone in Wesley Chapel, Lutz, and all nearby areas, I can't recommend this place enough. It's a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy fantastic...
Read moreThis place opens late and stays open late. We had planned to come one week and the hours mysteriously changed from 8pm opening to 10pm. It was late as is at 8pm so we decided to try another day which we did. We arrived about 815pm and the place was crowded. All to go/take out orders. I said they must call at 759pm to place their order. We were the only ones dining in, it took a few to be served but we well were well acknowledged by the sole front staff. He was also personable and that I always love. We had chicken pot stickers, hubby had the basil fried rice and I had the prig khing. Hubby and I said mild heat, his was ok but mine was too spicy, couldn't enjoy it much. My hubby had made up his mind he liked the other Thai place we visited. The food is fresh and hot and obviously made to order. Ironically another to-go customer came in and complained about the last minute change to opening the week prior. Our server explained how the time it takes to prepare food and the space they have and sometimes they do not have items on the menu and prefer not to disappoint customers. Very genuine and transparent and I appreciate it! They also evidently have their loyal customer base because at no time did the place stay empty our time there with take out orders/pickups...
