Payaathai Cuisine 13416 Boyette Road, Riverview, FL 32578

"Went for the three-color sticky rice, but my terrible parking skills squashed any chance of a decent photo. Purple butterfly pea, green green tea, orange Thai tea. Didn't really taste like their colors though. The mango was that young, fibrous, sour kind. Coconut cream had a sweet and salty taste. Crying tiger: Grilled beef with Thai sweet dipping sauce. average."

"The food was delicious and great quality. Highly recommend! Ordered the Crying Tiger, Thai fried rice with Chicken, the Payaa Platter, and the Massaman curry. Great prices and so good!! Best Thai food we’ve had in Tampa so far."

"It's a good weekday lunch option. You can get a starter, soup or salad, and a drink (canned soda, Thai iced tea or coffee) along with your choice of meat for your entrée. The lunch special is about $15 per person and served between 11am and 3pm (Mon-Fri). It's a good deal. My husband selected the drunken noodle with pork along with a green salad and bags of gold appetizer. He was given a scale of 1-10 for the spice level. He chose 8, but actually got more of a 4 or 5. He prefers it to be hotter. The sauce was also sweeter than he prefers. We've had that same dish at other restaurants and it was more savory. He also wasn't expecting to get a sweet peanut dressing on his salad. So for him, it was a miss. I had the green curry with chicken along with the same appetizer and a vegetable clear soup. We've had this version of the bags of gold appetizer at another restaurant in Brandon. This one was good but lacked coconut. It was also more compact with less meat inside. It was still good. The soup was very different. I liked it because it had lots of vegetables and included glass noodles instead of rice. The green curry is probably the best one I've had in the area. The eggplant and the rest of the veggies were cooked perfectly. It was extremely spicy, and I didn't even give them a spice level. I'd say it was about a 6 on the scale. It was definitely hotter than my husband's drunken noodles. I was able to tolerate it just because the flavor was so wonderful. I had to mix it with more rice and thankfully I had that sweet Thai tea to help get me through it. I would definitely order the curry again. In fact, I think this restaurant's curry dishes totally shine. It was a win for me. So much so, that I'm looking forward to trying their chicken khao soi (a coconut curry noodle soup) next time. They also have a blue butterfly pea drink (Payaa Drink) and a tricolored mango sticky rice dessert that looks so pretty and colorful. That's what I'll get next time. It's pretty much hidden in the River Springs Town Center on Boyette Road in Riverview. It's next door to the Talking Pint. You won't see it if you're coming from Bell Shoals, but the shopping center is right there on the corner as you cross over Boyette Road/Fishhawk Blvd. Try it if you happen to be in the area."

"I absolutely love this place. My mom and I went during lunch and the prices are very friendly and great for the portion sizing they provide. I’ll put some pictures below (only the salad, meal, dessert) , but the service was amazing too considering it was only one girl waiting on us all. I will totally be going back."
