Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Yes this restaurant is close to my office but so are lots of other great places to eat. What keeps me, my family and my staff coming back to Benjarong Thai over and over again are the consistent and wonderful food quality and flavors and...the friendly staff. Each time we call in a pick up order or eat in the dinning room, everyone goes out of their way to make us feel welcomed, as if we were family coming over for dinner. The food is always excellent, I have never had a dish I did not love. If you want great (American) Thai food in Tampa, visit Benjarong!More

We love this place. Since us being a customer... it has change ownership. Staff has remanentes friendly. Some better the others. However, their food is amazing. The egg rolls aren’t as good as the originals but still rather tasty. I love their Amazing Chicken!!!! Chicken...Pad Thai, garlic veggies with chicken are amazing. Their Tom yum is soo good. For lunch. You get an egg roll with a soup or salad. SUCKS that if you order take out... they don’t include the egg roll or soup!!!! Weird. I don’t get it. I do love this place. I give them a 5 star cuz I’m biased but it should be a 4.More

This restaurant is small and kind of dark. The decor is in need of updating. Wood panel on bottom of walls, Thai design wood on top of walls and wooden drop ceiling. The windows have paper taped to them and curtains-no light gets in. There...is a bar in the back with stuff cluttered on it and around it. The booths are royal blue vinyl with dark blue indoor/outdoor carpet. Place needs some freshening. There were two women there folding napkins at 2 of the tables and even when customers came in they continued to fold. I was the only one in the restaurant at 5:30 and for the 20 minutes or so before the next customers came in and sat down, the two women had a loud conversation in Thai from the two table while folding napkins.One of the women came and took my order and then they went back to their conversation. After waiting a while the other women got up and gave me a complimentary small salad. Nothing great- iceberg, tomato and dressing. I ordered vegetable green curry. It was good with just enough spice to make the dish more interesting. I like spicy, but I don’t like spicy when it’s just hot to be hot. I like it when it compliments the flavors in the dish, to make it more enjoyable, this dish was that way. Would I go back? No. I expect certain things when I eat out at a restaurant. I felt awkward being there, as though I was interfering with their conversation and laundry day.More

I've enjoyed being this restaurant for probably 18? or more years. I was a little concerned to see the sign about the new proprietors as of 2018, but it was all for naught. The food was excellent, possibly even more distinct and flavorful than before,...and the service was as meticulous as ever. Still a favorite, and I wish them the very best!!More

Love the food here. Funny thing is we have never been to the restaurant, but every time we decide to use Uber Eats we order from this restaurant. The food is just so good. We have some special requests each time and they always get...it right.More

The restaurant is small, but it has warm and inviting atmosphere. The food in general is good and the price is reasonable. Service can be a bit slow for a big group.

Got a bad taste in my mouth before I even started eating! Prices on their website and Facebook menu are VASTLY different than what they charge. I placed a to-go order directly from their Facebook menu. When I went to pick it up, it was...easily $5 more for just a dinner, a soup, and a side of rice. When I questioned the cashier, she just opened the menu to show their "real" prices. When I said I ordered from her "advertised" prices, and thought she should honor THOSE, she was very short and quipped that she'd have to get the owner. The owner was even LESS accommodating and said she was the new owner and that the prior site was not theirs. She said if I didn't want the order, fine. I asked, on principle, if she would at least knock $2 off the bill. She was very rude about it, and believe me, $2 was NOT the issue! False advertising and customer service WAS! Honestly, if it wasn't for the fact that my mom (83) had ordered the dinner, I would've left it all there! On food quality, I'd probably have given it a 4+, but I won't return based on this poor experience alone! My advice is that they lost a "regular" over an outdated on-line menu and could've turned it into a positive experience if they so chose.... don't lose the LONG term over a few lousy bucks!More

The food is very good. The service is fine. The restaurant is decorated simply.i would give it a five star rating because the food is so good but I had one unpleasant visit on one of many visits here . The restaurant is small and...tables close. A family with a young child was seated nearby and the child was unruly without proper supervision. This restaurant is too small to handle such noise and co motion. We left our entrees paid the bill and left. This only happened 1x but was very memorable.More

Solid service and good fresh food at this Thai restaurant in one of the strip malls on Dale Mabry. Gave this restaurant a try after reading some reviews and were glad we did. Chicken and seafood dishes were both excellent. Atmosphere was calm and pleasant....We would go back for lunch or dinner.More

A little bit expensive (but isn't Thai always) but my father and I have eaten here several times and the food always has a rich, full flavor. The portions are massive so we always take at least a third if not half to go. Favorite...thai place in town!More

Starting with the yellow tomato in my salad with red tint set the stage for average at best. Soup bland and could use spice rack. Ordered Vegetable Penang and Pad Thai both average at best, spicy but don't look like their illustrated pictures for sure....Interior decorations traditional nice but acoustics loud and dark with clanging dishes in background . Just do not feel it. Got your order promptly but never saw them again. Don't plan on coming back with a lot better Thai choices out there, sorry.More
