Kao Thai Kitchen - Pinellas Park

Tried Kao Thai cuisine for the first time. Free parking right in front of the 66th, beautiful atmosphere. My ice noodle chicken salad was very good, so the dumplings were. My friend had pork Jerky, which tasted more like roasted pork and was not as good as expected. She also said her Mexican role was fine. I'd go back to try more. I thought the prices were a bit high. They had lunch menu where several dishes were $9.95, maybe we try this item next time.

Very authentic Thai food and selection of sushi. Found prices somewhat too high and portions a little too small, but maybe it's just the feared inflation. The quiet, cozy atmosphere on Saturday at 5 pm.

Delicious food, reasonable prices, stylish atmosphere, jazz music and friendly service. One of my favorite Thai restaurants.

WOW! I am speechless and I am struggling to find proper words to write this review. Born and raised in Thailand. Spent my teenage years visiting my birth place often? I have visited numerous states and cities across the country. Logged history of 300 plus Thai restaurants and this one is top ten on my list. TOP 10 of all time!!! Do you all know what Ka-Pi is??? Do any American? This restaurant serves ?KAO KOOK KA PI? ? ONLY real Thai really uses and eat Ka-Pi? and guess what- they served it the way grandma would. I can?t kiss my wife for two days after eating Ka-Pi (fermented shrimp paste) but it is worth it!

So I've gotten take out from here twice now and it's okay, but pricey for such small portions. I don't even remember what I ordered the first time, but it was during the beginning of the pandemic last year and I wanted to support local asian restaurants. I do remember that it was bland and tasted more like it catered to american palates than to Thai/Lao palates. So I decided to give them a second chance but it all still tasted like Americanized thai food. The decor is very esthetically pleasing and modern chic, but if the food was given the same wow factor in taste as opposed to plating presentation (in other reviewers photos) then they would have gotten 5 stars from me. The food in my photos looked delicious, but were just mediocre in taste and missing the umami and balance of tastes.
