Love the food at Isan Thai, especially the Thai papaya salad. I wish they offered one with grilled shrimp! I have eaten it that way in other Thai restaurants and it really adds substance to the salad. I would not mind paying extra as I know shrimp, especially wild caught, is expensive!
I had a shrimp fresh roll for an appetizer and my husband had the Thai crispy egg roll; both delicious! We then had Tom Yum Gai soup, a bit spicy for me but my husband loved it. Our entrees were Green Curry and a Thai Papaya Salad; yummy! I wanted a taste of something sweet for dessert and our waitress suggested fried banana and what a great choice it was; tiny fried rice noodle squares filled with sweet banana mash and drizzled with honey and sprinkled with sesame seeds!
The food is delicious with good friendly service and I love the decor!!
Had dinner at ISAN thai the other night, great food, great place...
Excellent food (the best Thai in Sarasota hands down), friendly service and a nice atmosphere. The lunch specials are amazing, all the food is freshly made and is authentic to this part of Thailand.
Love this place, literally the best Thai spot in town. I'm there about 2-3 times a week. Quality.
Love it had hot and sour seafood soup and sample plate and shrimp with rice love it �

Fav Thai in the area, always SO good! Simple ambiance but excellent service for dining in and also fantastic for takeout!
My husband and I ordered the sweet and sour chicken and fried spring rolls and salad. We enjoyed all of it and the service was impeccable. The sweet sauce had large pieces of white chicken and fresh pineapple chunks. We will definitely return for more
I love all the vegan options, sweet service and authentic environment. My mother loved it, too!
Vegan Tom Kha with veggies, no tofu, is my favorite, especially when I need a little nurturing. It's my comfort food.
Best Thai food around and best service. Thing that caught me off guard the most was it is a Asian restaurant with a coke machine and not cans of soda.
Food,service, atmosphere, and value all vary good will visit again soon!
I can't rave enough about Isan. Every dish I've had is amazingly delicious and the service is always fantastic. My favorite restaurant in Sarasota!
Best Thai in town. We have been dining here for many years. Never disappoints.
Amazing Thai Restaurant!! The food was delicious, and the services were fast. From the outside don't look like a fancy restaurant but once you are inside, you see the decoration from Thailand. They have 2 menus lunch and dinner, and they also have delivery with Door Dash. They have a drink menu with beers, wines, and drinks. When we arrived, we had to wait 15 min because the place we're full, I ordered some grilled shrimp, and the sauce was the different was spicy and tangy. My main dish was the stir fried cashew with beef and was delicious, the rice was serve with a shape of heart ❤️, my wife ordered the spring rolls and was good, but she was amazed with the yellow curry with the extra tofu she said was delicious. For drinks, we ordered a glass of Malbec Wine and Michelob Ultra that was cold like it had to be!. The waitress was fast and cordial.
This place is really good. Food is amazing and the ambience as well. The restrooms were neatly maintained. Overall, an amazing place to eat in Sarasota.
I’m really picked and selective when it comes to my Thai food. It’s a food type that I really enjoy and have hd my fair share first hand from Thailand. Back to this restaurant, it has a very native and authentic feel. I selected a red curry dish and Angela selected Pad Thai (my personal favorite). Both dishes were amazing and the hospitality was too notch.
If you’re in the mood for Thai food, definitely consider Isan Thai Restaurant!!!
Meat and seafood was cooked perfectly. Great shrimp and perfect noodles. The sai ua was a bit dry, but overall food was good.
We had the Hida beef and it was delicious. The chef made it right in front of us. She was amazing. The food was very fresh and tasty.
Isan Thai is one of my favorite Thai restaurants in town. It is so genuine, authentic, esoteric, and a gem to go to.
The atmosphere of this restaurant is welcoming, open, cozy and it feels like being in Thailand itself.
I’ve ordered their pad, Thai, fresh rolls, curry, and they are delectable. Their flavor profiles are on point, the consistency in the execution of their dishes is phenomenal, and the ingredients are so fresh.
I always feel so satiated and healthy after eating here, and I can generally say that’s not always the case when you eat out because they tend to overload dishes with salts and fats. However, Isan Thai is superb and never has this issue.
The staff are all so lovely, sweet, kind, and very welcoming. John, the front of the house manager is such a gentleman. He is so personable, knowledgeable, fun, and a joy to have a conversation with.
I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to have an authentic experience of Thai food, and to just be happy and satiated with the flavor profiles. It is an impressive restaurant, and I’m looking forward to actually dining in one day. It feels authentic, like home, and someplace that I would want to be at with my friends, or even on a date.

My favorite Thai restaurant in Sarasota. It is consistently good. The service is always great. The ambience in this little restaurant off of 41 is perfect. I love to dine in, but even ordering takeout, they never miss. Two of my favorites are the drunken noodles and wonton soup. The crab rangoon is notably, soft, and fully filled , also the crispy duck is very good. You can’t go wrong with red or yellow curry!
As I was browsing my reviews I noticed most of them are negative because people almost never makes time to review the great ones.
Therefore I’m taking this time to give flowers to restaurants that have great food and great service. This is my go to DoorDash restaurant when visiting Sarasota. The food is absolutely delicious and it never fails. I’m always full with leftovers. Thanks for serving great food and handling my order with care.
On a beautiful Friday afternoon, my wife and I decided that we wanted some Thai food, and so off to Isan Thai Restaurant we went. We started with a lunch adventure with House Salads served with fresh Romaine Lettuce, Tomatoes, Carrots, Onions, and Cucumbers in a delicious Ginger dressing. It was a great way to start our meal. We then ordered Pork Potstickers with a flavorful and delicious soy dipping sauce that was amazing. And for our main dishes we had Beef Drunken Noodles and Pad Pak Ruam Mit both served with adequate portions and the plates were visually appealing. Both plates were cooked to perfection and had a lot of flavor and all fresh ingredients. My wife ordered the Thai Tea and I order unsweet Tea. We had no complaints, the serve was excellent, food was plentiful and full of flavor, all well-cooked and with an overall Thai ambiance . They are located right off Tamiami Trail, easy to see from the street, and easy parking out front along the street. The interior decor is full Thai art, decor and architecture. The table cloths were of Thai design with intricate embroidered details with great contrasting and colorful displays. They have two dining areas on each side of the main entrance and the covered booths provide a feeling of Asian privacy that is truly unique. A great place to enjoy some great Thai cuisine.
Definitely authentic Thai. The dishes we ordered were fresh and delicious. The service was also great.
First time dining, my son and I loved the atmosphere, service and especially the delicious food. Highly recommend!
Did a spontaneous, quick take-out decision, and we were glad we did.
Had our food ready in under 15 minutes.
Food was excellent, but a little on the small portion side.
one of the best thai restaurants i’ve been to in florida. for the amount of food and the price, it was absolutely unbeatable. the isan papaya salad was very spicy (as requested) and so fresh. the duck pad thai was so incredibly good and there was a huge piece of duck on top. most of the fat was rendered down to make the skin crispy and there was so much meat. the fried whole snapper, thought needed a little more sauce, was very crispy and i highly recommend if you like fish. the kao soi with pork was very creamy and rich. overall, i HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT
Went there last night for dinner and ate in one of their wooden booths. It’s a great ambiance with delicious food. They will work with you on changing dishes for dietary reasons without a fuss. Love coming here. My only complaint is that their wait staff isn’t that friendly. The other Thai restaurants in town have them beat on customer service.
One of the best Thai place I had! The customer service can be improved but the food is awesome! The Kai sol is so good here!
