An interesting dining experience. When I first walked in, I wasn’t sure what to expect. All in all, it was a positive experience, and I will probably return. Upon entering, you order at the counter, and then the food is delivered to your table. You fill your water glass out of an Igloo cooler, which gives off a strange, picnic-like vibe. The service was as good as can be expected, given that there is limited interaction. The prices seem fair. The lunch specials run about $11- $14 and include an above average, unique tofu soup. The vegetable and spice combination of the soup did wonders for a sore throat. I ordered the pork yellow curry with a medium spice. The spice level was perfect and tasted like a true medium. The yellow curry was different than any I have had before. It didn’t have as yellowish of a color as most I have had previously. This could mean it has less turmeric than normal, but it could be due to regional differences in Thai cuisine. The curry wasn’t sweet enough for me, but they were kind enough to give me a side of coconut milk, which sweetened it up. The food is served with plastic utensils (and I suppose chop sticks upon request). I can assume the plastic wear is a result of post- Covid difficulties. They seem to have a lot of regular customers, which means they are doing something right. Like I said, I will probably return, but I will try either the Panang curry or the drunken noodles.

We were put off initially by the fact that they don’t offer table service here anymore but we decided to try it anyway with takeout. Turns out you can go to the counter and order your food and then eat at their nice dining room anyway! It just comes out and take out boxes. The food is super good and the portions are absolutely some of the most generous Thai food I’ve ever eaten! All three of the dinners that we got were absolutely flawless and very authentic Thai flavored. The chicken meat was excellent.

This is our absolute favorite thai food. Everything from the sauces to soups to curry’s appear to be home made and are all excellent. We don’t make it up there often but stop when we are in the neighborhood. If they worked with a delivery service we would probably order at least once a week. Be careful when something says it’s spicy they speak the truth.

The wife and I have been here several times. The place is always busy but the waitstaff is always courteous and attentive. The food always comes out hot and fresh though I feel like their spice scale changes frequently depending on the cook. This last visit I got the crab fried rice and my wife got the Pad Thai with chicken lunch special. Food was fantastic as always. The rice is delicious and piled high with crab meat. The Pad Thai has a perfect balance of salt, sweet and sour.

People way over use “best thai in phoenix”.. Anyone who knows good thai wouldn’t say that about this restaurant, its mediocre at best. There are better options such as the one on cactus and cavecreek. Way better options around! Ordered curries and these curries are ok, again at best.

I don’t know where to start. For one, it has tables, but you have to order at the counter. Still, you are served with plastic containers/silverware.

Delicious Thai food! Everything my husband and I tried was delicious and everything we were wanting. They aren’t joking when they say things are spicy, I got medium and it was super spicy but I love that. My husband is always on the hunt for good pad se ew that is saucy and not dry… this is the place! The portions are large, had left overs. We are happy it’s close to our house, we will be back often!

I wouldn’t recommend this place. My favorite dish is green curry and this place seems to go against the traditional Thai cuisine. Honestly I got mucous after eating it. This doesn’t happen to me unless the energy is off. I’m not coming back.

Worst Thai food we have ever had. Tom Kha was red and tasted sour. Yellow Curry did not taste like yellow curry. Waste of $70 and the restaurant doesn’t answer the phone. Any modifications request will be ignored. Checked the box for no cilantro and wrote No Carrots and got both.
