Thai Kitchen by Saowanee

We again were on a Sunday Search for Sustenance and today it was in the name of Pad Thai. In search of this dish we thought of Port Orange (exit 256 off I-95) to stop into along our way. I was given the recommendation of Thai Kitchen from a friend and am glad we stopped in.

I saw a Handcrafted Thai Iced Tea on their menu and just had to try it. I asked for a sample just to make sure I wanted to commit since never trying it before and our server obliged! I was very pleased with the taste and was happy to receive the full mug topped with cream.

I was so excited to find fresh Spring Rolls on the menu and ordered that as an appetizer. I must have been anticipating the first bite dipped in slightly spicy peanut sauce on the side that I forgot to snap a picture before trying it!

I ordered the Khaw Pad Tom Yum fried rice. It arrived to me in the form of a mountain and tasted wonderful. My companion ordered the Pad Thai. To finish we shared one scoop of Coconut Ice Cream with Fried Bananas. We enjoyed it all!

Their dining room is small, containing maybe 7 or 8 tables for 4. It made me wonder how long the line will be during popular times to visit once everyone learns about this little gem!

Our server was very sweet, willing and always on the go!

Very extensive menu offering. Would stop in to try something new again and again.

Don't let the limited seating or garage sale furniture fool you, this place is a true diamond in the rough. Absolutely delicious! I would say this is the best kept secret in Port Orange, but the secret has apparently gotten out. The wait just for to-go food last Thursday was 90 minutes, so it's best to go at off-peak hours.

Sorry but I do have just 1 complaint. The attitude of the service , look like they hate you , no manner to talk to the customer. All other is grat good food, good portions on dishes, 100% recommend

Friendly service and authentic Thai food. Tried two dishes..pineapple fried rice with shrimp and chicken and the Jasmine in the garden with chicken and shrimp. Both were fresh and flavorful. Parking is conveniet. Thai Kitchen is a hidden gem among the sea of overpriced franchises in Port Orange. The dining room is small and cozy and clean. The server at the counter was super helpful and friendly. I would return and definitely suggest giving it a try. I like spicy and the Jasmine dish was prepared in Thai hot level spice and have wonderful savory and well balanced flavor.

We just want to speak on behalf of the review that was left by Juan below. We were in the restaurant and witnessed Juan having zero regard for the other patrons around him as he talked on FaceTime very loudly. Everyone could clearly hear their conversation. I think it’s odd for folks to go inside an intimate space and feel it’s ok to do this. It has zero to do with ethnicity and the waitress approached him in the sweetest way to let him know. This restaurant, staff and food is EXCELLENT!! We have been coming here for years. Never a bad meal. I would suggest Juan brush up on his table side manners.

Great food at reasonable prices especially the lunch special.
Excellent service.

Very good flavored very well, they asked how it was we thought it was just a touch spicy. They remade the dish and it was perfect. The owner came out himself, well done!

We decided to try somewhere new in port orange and decided on Thai food. Thai Kitchen is located right next to Panera on Dunlawton. The restaurant itself is smaller and was a little busy. We tried the dumplings as a appetizer and they were fantastic. They definitely looked different than the traditional dumplings you see but really tasted great!!!! The Pad Thai in a soy sauce and chicken was so delicious and had a nice kick. “Not too hot and not too weak”. I highly recommend you give them a try if your craving some decent Thai food. The only negative was the wait for food was pretty long.

This place is really good and has lot of options. If you are craving for some Thai and Asian cuisine this is the place. Usually it’s better to make a reservation as this place is always busy!!!

I recently got the crispy duck curry..! OMG I can’t say enough about this dish. One of the best dish in and around Daytona beach. The duck was super tender and crispy. The curry had fruits in it which was a great sweet spicy combination. Get it spicy, because the sweet compensates for it. A must dish at this place.

We also got papaya salad, it was just ok. Have had better papaya salads.

The food is always SO good here! This place is a MUST try if you’re visiting or you’re a local looking for some DELICIOUS Thai food!!! Thank you so much for the delicious food!

My favorite restaurant in Port Orange. Everything there is absolutely delicious. Recently I had the summer rolls with shrimp, dumplings and green curry with chicken.
I was there last Sunday, and going again tomorrow for dinner 🤗😋

Had wonton soup, eggroll and salad with plum dressing...VERY good. Menu has so many items, looking forward to return visit so I can try more items. Service was excellent. Definitely recommend.

Oh my gosh this foooooood!!!! 😍 10/10 My new favorite for sure.
Also our waitress was great, kept up with our drinks and was polite.
Can't wait to go back.

Excellent good. One of favorite restaurants in the county. Vegan friendly (just tell them you want the dish vegan), great service, two thumbs up. Love it!

Wonderful food, service and very friendly staff!!!! I go many times a week and it is always excellent.

Our first time here - small and cozy inside with unique decor but the food was delicious. Be prepared to wait on it though.

Extremely good Thai food at a very reasonable price! Dinner for 2 with an appetizer and 2 Thai iced coffees was $46, including tax. The food was fresh, tables were clean, and service was impeccable. I highly recommend this place. BE AWARE.... LAST SEATING IS AT 7:30PM.

The food here is authentic and super tasty. I love that it is run by family so it has that small personal atmosphere. The staff is very welcoming and helpful in figuring out what to order. We loved the Thai Iced Tea and the Thai hot tea at the end of our meal. They offer a spice tray to make your food as hot and spicy as you would like so don’t order too hot, you can always add some heat to your meal after it is served.

If you are looking for genuine Thai food and friendly service, look no further. This place is amazing, the Thai iced tea is not to be missed. They are always accommodating to the entire family, even my "picky" child. I love the wide variety, as we can all get exactly what we want to eat.

Great place to eat!!! Affordable and super yummy if you like Thai food. We have been several times and have never had a bad meal. My kids love it too. I'm sorry I didn't find it sooner!! I highly recommend.
