Thai Seed is the best Thai restaurant in Sarasota. Their food is always fresh, consistent, and full of flavor — I highly recommend the Drunken Noodles! While I typically find the best food at small, hole-in-the-wall places, Thai Seed is checks all of the boxes for great food, atmosphere, and location. The owners are also incredibly friendly!

What a wonderful find, modern thai place! The service was excellent—every member of the staff, from the host to the waiter, was warm, friendly, and inviting. It's worth noting that the restaurant closes at 7:45 PM with the last seating at 7:30 PM, though by that time the place had already cleared out. It seems folks in the area tend to dine early, with most non-pub restaurants quiet by 8 PM. We tried the lobster special with curry sauce, crispy duck with soy sauce, chicken fried rice, and whole fried snapper with ginger sauce. The standout was definitely the snapper. While they offer it as a fillet, I opted for the whole fish, which tend to be incredibly fresh and full of flavor—totally worth navigating the bones. Extremely rare to find a place the serves fresh whole fish around this area. I’ll absolutely be coming back, especially to try the stir-fried noodle dishes, which seemed to be a popular choice among other diners.

This place is outstanding and rightfully packed to the brim in the weekends. The authentic Thai spices that I was supposed to enjoy gave me tears. The foods absolutely delicious, affordable and the place is neat and clean . The open kitchen and wine bar are too cute. Great people are running this place, Hope they keep up.

We had a nice lunch here. The portions were just right and the food was very flavorful. We had chicken pad Thai, Panang chicken curry, and red chicken curry.

Service here is the main review. Absolutely exceptional. Food came fast and was as close to my travels through Thailand. Fresh rolls, chicken satay, and tom yum shrimp soup was spot on. Highly recommend the snapper special too. You will not be disappointed!
