Bangkok Jazz Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Temple Terrace

Great little Thai place outside of Tampa in Temple Terrace with authentic flavors.

Pros: Price, Menu selection Cons: Slow, Food was just "okay"

For my Honeymoon, my wife and I spent 17 days in Thailand traveling throughout most the country so I'd like to think I have a strong understanding of "Good Thai Food". Bangkok is okay at best, but I did enjoy my meal very much and it did make me miss the Thai cuisine and culture. For an establishment in the U.S. I thought the service was very slow although friendly, and I was appreciative that they had 4 different spice levels (mild, medium, hot and Thai hot). Hot almost too much for me, but I enjoy spicy. I was happy to see the Thai classics, Tom Yum Soup (very good), Pad Thai, Curry (good but not as creamy), but there was no Thai Salad (Papaya Salad) which was sad for me. They had a great selection of menu items, food and beer, and randomly had a sushi menu too. The table ordered one roll (Sexy woman) and it was okay. I miss Thailand so much and I was really excited to love this place. My Thai craving has not been satisfied yet!

I would recommend for good Thai food but I am not sure I...

I hate to write such a negative review however they don’t deserve anything more than one star, if that at all. The way they treat loyal customers is terrible and embarrassing therefore myself or my coworkers will never go back. I used to order at least once a week for lunch. This particular order we ordered for 7/9 people.. 5 of those orders were wrong including one that was ordered for someone who is vegetarian. Rather than owning up to their mistakes, they never apologized or tried to reasonably offer solutions after we paid.

They told us they’d refund us for 2 meals, however if we wanted the refund, we must pick up the cash (even though we paid directly to them by credit card). I work in a hospital setting, therefore don’t have the flexibility to leave and come back. I tried to get the refund the next business day after, however was told the offer for the refund expired and if I wanted a refund to call the owner myself, which none of this was told to us up front.

Needless to say has TERRIBLE customer service and no way to treat a loyal customer. Please don’t support...

2nd time I have been to this restaurant. Last time I drove to Tampa, about 2 months ago, we did some shopping and then we were figuring out where to go for lunch. We happened to be on Fowler Ave and spotted this restaurant before we reached the stop light. We made a U-turn and decided to try this Thai restaurant. We love Thai food but the last few years, we have tried some Thai restaurants but the food was never up to par. We decided we had nothing to lose. We had the lunch special - spring rolls, chicken rice soup, shrimp fried rice, chicken fried rice & a crispy duck dish. The food was perfectly cooked and excellent. We finally found a Thai restaurant we love. Yesterday my family had the urge for Thai food for dinner and we drove to Tampa to this restaurant once again. Needless to say, we had the same dishes minus the duck this time but we found my son's favorite...fried bananas. Once again, this restaurant met our expectations. We have found our favorite Thai spot. Of course the service was exceptional also. It is great supporting a...
