Patti's Kitchen

Yum! First time ordering from Patti's Kitchen.My husband and I shared an order of the Thai curry puffs and each had pork ka-praw for lunch today. Never had either of the dishes before. Not sure how it's supposed to taste like but these dishes are delicious!!! The puffs are a little bit sweet but the sauce that comes with the order it's like a marinated cucumber salad?! Pairs nicely with it. Ka- Prow, it's just like it said on the menu, ground pork ( in my case) Thai basil, onions, hot pepper, seasonings , white rice and fried egg. Simple and tasty! The place is small, quiet and clean. Will definitely be back , there's other dishes I'd like to try.

I feel shitty that I'm leaving this less than stellar review but I had really high hopes for Patti's. The running commentary with certain friends is "if Coty says it's good, it's worth going to." Coty does, so we did. I was meeting those friends here for lunch today and arrived a few minutes before 2. My friends were about 5 minutes behind me. I went in and the ladies working asked if it was just me and I said I had a couple friends 5 minutes out. "We close in 15 minutes".... I mean the sign on the door and online both said 2:30 and nothing on the menu would take a long time to prep. I should have honestly just left, it felt weird but I was committed to trying it at this point. She told me to pick whatever table, so I sat at the first clean one that could accommodate the three of us. It took a couple minutes for someone to bring a menu. Friends got in just after 2, we all put our orders in without wasting time debating, and just had the strangest vibe waiting and then eating. It's a small place but the waitress deliberately hip checked my friend while passing between tables and didn't acknowledge it/apologize. Around 2:10 someone came in for lunch and they told the guy they were closed and to come back at 4:30. They clearly have no problem turning people away so if they didn't want my business half an hour+ before they wind down between lunch and dinner they should have said something instead of the passive aggressive bs. Or they could just say they close at 2 on the sign. We didn't linger or take our time eating, and I ended up just abandoning half my soup because the vibe wasn't it. I wish we had a fraction of the friendly energy everyone else had both in the reviews and at the other tables. As for our order, I got the keaw-nam soup, they got the pad-see-eew and curry puffs. We also got some Thai teas and a soda. The soup was fine. The wontons were exceptionally good and clearly homemade, pork and veggies were fine, broth was fine. Again, I rushed through eating because of the atmosphere, but it wasn't some sort of mind blowing experience that would make me want to deal with rude bs. The curry puffs had a nice texture but the filling was oddly sweet. I liked having one, but the second one didn't hit the same. The Thai tea was very diluted. The other dish was given a 2.5/5 when we left and chatted outside (where I also had the last curry puff because standing around outside to eat was infinitely better than being inside).If the attitude didn't suck I would be down to come back and see what the rest of the menu is like. If the whole food experience was amazing I would be down to come back and attribute it to a bad day. But honestly, Pinellas, and especially Pinellas Park, has so many amazing and diverse Asian food options, this is not worth a second visit.

Finally made it to this highly recommended spot. We got the Kenwood Nam (wontons and soup) and Phad Thai and they were both very good. Probably the best phad Thai I've had in a very long time. If I could make one small change, I'd rather it be just a little less saucy. And obviously we had to get the coconut cake. It was good. Young tender coconut between layers of moist yellow cake and icing.

I had high expectations for this place because of the raves and reviews from family and friends. Unfortunately, my visit was quite the opposite. The place is small and service is okay, even on the slow days. Their menu was confusing because there were two types of menu, a noodle and then a food menu. I don't know why it just wasn't all on one menu. We ordered from both menus.Pad Thai: 4/5, probably the best thing there. Popular Pork Noodle Soup: 3/5, it was good but broth was concentrated a bit.Grilled Pork: 3/5, it was good. Pork Larb: 3/5, it was okay. Chicken kaprow: 1/5, very salty. Could barely eat it.Pad see ew: 1/5, very sweet and not enjoyable. Overall, visit was just okay. We came with a party of 7 at 1pm and was charged automatic gratuity for subpar service. I will not be going back.

The server was friendly. I ordered the Tom yum noodles and it was good but I expected to at least have meatballs in it. The wife had the boat noodles and it was not what we thought it would be.

Fantastic place! Probably my favorite Thai restaurant in the area! Too many Thai restaurants in the area serve the same curry dishes. I love that this place goes a different route and focuses on street food, mainly rice and noodle dishes. Service can be a little slow sometimes, but that is forgivable because the people are friendly and the food is fire. I got the Moo Gra Tiem and it was fantastic! The pork slices were tender and flavorful and the rice was generous. But the real kicker was the dipping sauce. That fish sauce and chili dipping sauce took everything to another level with just the right amount of savory and spice! Overall, don't pass on this place! Definitely a hole in a wall that you should visit! :)

Been to Patti's Kitchen three times now, & my second visit was my favorite. My fave dish was actually the brothless dish with pork called Ba-me-hang. I still think about this dish and I sure wish I ordered it on my last visit.My last visit was a chilly night and I knew this place had tons of soup options. This time I picked the seafood soup called Yen-ya-fo. I order it mild with egg noodles, but unfortunately it was still spicy. I did still eat it and I know the flavor is pretty enhanced but it's def not a repeat for me.I ordered my hubby the pork soup with egg noodles and added won ton, but I'd agree with him that his soup lacked flavor. His second visit was also the better visit for us.I do want to come back here just for the pork brothless dish.The server was the same server as last time and she's really friendly, helpful, & will definitely give great recommendations.This place is clean and comfy and I would def recommend it for Thai and Lao food in the area.

The rice plates here are pretty good. I had the grilled pork with rice. I give this place 8/10.

This place is wonderful and authentic. Go early if you want a table. Service is usually excellent

Delicious food! Be careful how you order, this is not the place to test if you can handle Thai Hot (you could ruin your lunch). Medium heat will most likely make your face melt and hot is unbearable. This is from the perspective of a caucasian man so maybe you can handle it or maybe you die? Good luck!
