I'm obsessed. The Thai veggies rolls and fresh rolls are so good! Love all the soups!

Went for dinner on a weekday night and there was no wait. Shared the chicken satay, Tom yum soup, masaman curry, red curry, and the pad Thai. The satay, masaman, and Tom yum soup were excellent but the rest was just ok. Plan on ordering more rice as it only comes with a tiny bowl. Service is decent and friendly but the music unfortunately took away from the experience.

Last two times I ordered here waited over 40 minutes and they aren’t busy or anything. I got my food and there was like no noodles theh must have been low or ran out. 30 bucks for two entrees one half filled and a 40 minute wait I guess I’ll go somewhere else next time.

Beautifully decorated place with a wide variety of traditional Thai dishes. We tried soup and yellow curry and it was delightful.
Wonderful atmosphere as you walk in and friendly staff is there to help you with your selections. They are attentive and accommodating for your needs so 5/5 for that.

I was planning on having hard drinks but they didn’t have any other than beers and wines. Just a recommendation to keep some.

I eat at this restaurant every time I'm in town. I visit Tempe often for work. This place is one of my favorites.

Went here after a long conference say with my colleagues for some rest and good food. Amazing dishes from massaman curry to seafood drunken noodles. The crispy tofu was juicy and crunchy. The sweet potatoes fritters we're delicious. Main course were huge and filling. Staff was kind and attentive. Will definitely come back.

They must have had the B team in when we ordered takeout. Granted we did Doordash, but at this point there's no excuse to not be able to handle third party orders given the popularity. By the time the dasher arrived at the restaurant, they hadn't even started making the order. Food is decent but it means nothing if it comes in an hour an a half.

I live in Las Vegas and back home I have a favorite Thai restaurant. I totally love spicy pinang curry. Working in Phoenix so wanted to try something offered here. Found this place close by. I will definitely come back as I often get called to work down here. It was spicy and tasty as I hoped

Messed up my order, gave extra vegetable chicken dish instead of my highly anticipated drunken noodles with pork. Didn’t even give extra rice. The sticky rice is black purple and ugly not good either

Is this restaurant under new owners? Service wss streamly poor. No order drinks that were a mess, cream overflowing the glass. No napkins to clean the mess.no straws after asking for them twice. Food was cold and poorly prepared, no flavor my flat noodles were cute up in small pieces and stuck together like dumplings; awful! $60 bill! And no air conditioning! Never again will I be taken advantage at this place! Asked for by Bill 4 tomes!

The coconut soup is on point here. I also love the pineapple curry rice with beef. The food is delicious here. Everyone is super friendly staff is attentive. I recommend you stop here if you are in Tempe

Stopped in for a quick meal since I have never been here before. The staff was extremely nice and attentive even though the place was packed with only 2 servers. I ordered the pork fried rice with extra pork. Whoa, they really know how to give more protein! There was a lot of pork on there and really appreciate that since it made the meal low carb. When I was there, the AC was out so it made the experience very similar to sitting and eating in Bangkok!) I am sure it will get fixed and the food was delicious. Be back to try more dishes for sure.

Good selection of food imported from Thailand.
Well even if it's not, it sure seems like it to me.
This chicken I got is called Thai Barbecue Chicken & I opted for brown jasmine rice rather than white jasmine rice.
Great choice!
I don't like spicy & this wasn't spicy.
This was my third time here.
Oh & the Spring roll was tasty, & I don't usually like those things because they are onion overpowered, but they did this right, also.
Duck sauce was superior to others.

Definitely not enough food for the price. I was Definitely disappointed with that and the spice level, however the portion on the Thai Tea was satisfying

I got the pumpkin curry, crab won tons, coconut basil soup, and shrimp egg rolls, SO DARN GOOD! This place reminds me of my favorite Thai Food in Denver, and I've been searching for Thai Food as good as that! And the portions are NICE! The fried rice wasn't as great as I was hoping but everything else was EXCELLENT! I wish I lived closer, definitely worth trying! You'll be glad you did.
