Donna SApril 30, 2014Get there early to get some food! Cheap, delicious, and generous-portioned food. They also sell plants and flowers. Great view. You're also supporting their community with your purchases!
spring123March 27, 2016Thai Market opens on Sunday mornings, but popular dishes are sold out quickly. Remember taking cash for food as they are cash only. You can bring dogs on a leash, eating on riverside.
@Marie📷💎🏡♥ REALTOR-Keller WilliamsJanuary 20, 2013Lunch on Sundays! Super cheap-cash only. Most authentic Thai food you'll get in Tampa Bay. This was the best kept secret many yrs ago-now it gets way too crowded way too fast. Food is still awesome- Terika WakefieldOctober 9, 2019Sunday brunch in a Buddhist Temple! There's a Sunday market with vendors and Thai food everywhere. The aroma of beef soup fills the air and you may enter the temple barefoot and enjoy the atmosphere.
Meredith McGuireMay 5, 2019THE BEST Thai I’ve ever had, and so inexpensive!! Get there early, unless you want Pad Thai... which always takes much longer to prepare.
Tara LeeFebruary 9, 2014The noodle Soup is amazing but get there early or be prepared to wait. Visit the Temple. Chanting begins at 1pm. Beautiful. Be sure to visit the website to learn proper etiquette.
RachelSeptember 12, 2016Best thai noodle soup of Tampa. All their food is cheap and good. Thai tea, pad thai, papaya salad and sticky rice with mango; are the must try.
Gaby PhangNovember 17, 2023My favorites were the fresh spring rolls with tasty peanut sauce, Pad Thai, and Mango sticky rice-best coconut rice ever.
The ultimate peaceful Sunday. Enjoy lunch by the river and then take a peek inside the temple. Best orchids in Tampa, too.
Claudia Flores-GrisalesJanuary 20, 2015Meet there with my Thai sisters! I pass like thai lady ;)They integrate you to their prayers. Super affordable market & breakfast on sundays. Picnic areas. Stop by early or you'll get no food at all!
Bethany CulpMarch 29, 2013The Thai Temple practically radiates peace. The golden temple sits beside peaceful waters. Every Sunday morning, hundreds gather to enjoy traditional homemade cuisine and a lively market.- La'Shae WhiteFebruary 5, 2015You have to taste everything! Pork eggrolls, noodle soup, and most definitely the mango and sticky rice!
Lee BDecember 18, 2011Get there early (before 11) to beat the crowd. Order coconut custard IMMEDIATELY and you'll pick it up after you're done eating your meal. SO GOOD.
Brenden ChandlerJune 10, 2015padthai is really good and spring rolls and peanut sauce. you get to eat next to the water.- Dee EvansJune 5, 2018Wowwwwww. This place is soooo affordable and so delicious. Worth the 45 min drive all day!
- Lee BDecember 18, 2011If you get pho (soup), when you hand them your cash ($5), ask for vegetables from the stock. They don't come automatically and are the best part!
- All the food is excellent! Love the Ginger Chicken, Fried Banana's and Thai Tea!
Abirami AnantharamakrishnanApril 20, 2016Great place with good food and options to buy plants and local produce
Bonnie ZabytkoAugust 15, 2010Grew up in Thailand and this is the closest to Thai street food I've had since moving to the US. The food is great and the temple looks very pretty.- Zachary JoyceAugust 21, 2011Try the pumpkin curry, noodle soup and coconut custards...amazing..also Thai tea is awesome and only $1!!
Jessica ChiangMarch 17, 2010Sundays only. Choose from an assortment of Thai dishes prepared by its members: pumpkin curry, fried plaintains/taro, & don't miss the BBQ station near the fruit/veggie stand. Yummy.
If you live in tampa a late Sunday morning trip here at least twice a month should be instinct
Ken DemmonsMarch 23, 2011The pork noodle soup is AMAZING! With fish balls, fat noodles, beef broth and more. Spicy and wonderful!
Karen FernMay 13, 2012Love these desserts! The only thing missing is getting the food in plastic baggies for the Bangkok experience!
Always order fried bananas with your meal and another bag to take home!- Lee BDecember 18, 2011Bring extra money for CHEAP orchids and all sorts of interesting/rare plants/vegetables!
Hemant KumarFebruary 1, 2015If you are a vegetarian don't worry this place has lot of good options for you.
the mangos go fast, get them before waiting in line for your meal.
