A nice Thai restaurant with some unique local dishes. The curry here are excellent and recommend the Arizona heat.  We had a larger party and they were able to reserve off a few tables for us. Really excellent service. There is a good amount of people doing takeout so sometimes can get a little backed up, but they still manage to deliver food pretty quickly.

I checked the menu before we went so I was happy it was not different when we arrived. I had the Jungle Fried Tofu lever 2 spice with Jasmin Rice and Tai Tea. My daughter had Pad Sew with chicken level 1.
The dishes were so good that we already were deciding for our next visit.

This was our first time trying this restaurant, and unfortunately, it will likely be our last. We ordered takeout, so I can’t comment on the atmosphere, but the experience from start to finish was disappointing.

When I called to place the order, I was “put on hold” for nearly 10 minutes—not with hold music, but by someone simply setting the phone down. I could hear how busy they were, including the staff repeatedly apologizing to customers for the long wait. I should have taken this as a sign and hung up, but being new to the area, we wanted to give it a try.

When someone finally picked up, they took our order and quoted a 20-minute wait time. We arrived at the restaurant on time, only to encounter a chaotic scene. Several customers were visibly upset about delays. One person, who had already paid, said they’d been waiting so long they were ready to leave. After another 20 minutes of waiting, we finally received our food.

Unfortunately, the food itself was a disaster. We ordered two Pad See Ew dishes, a Pad Thai, and orange chicken. The noodles in both Pad See Ew dishes were undercooked, dry, and almost flavorless. The orange chicken tasted like it had been breaded, fried, and then doused in straight orange juice—nothing like the dish should taste. The Pad Thai was overly sweet, with overcooked chicken.

I might have overlooked the long wait as an off day—it’s tough to staff restaurants these days—but the food quality was horrendous, especially for a $60 meal. I can’t recommend this place based on our experience.

The portion sizes were HUGE! We were not expecting that.
And one of the curries - I think the green curry that we got was super spicy that my husband couldn't even eat.
The red curry was really really good.
And I really appreciate that they got coconut milk for us to mix in the spicy curry. It really helped.
Decent ambience and decent place. Wish we knew about the portion sizes, we would've ordered only one curry for 2 people if we knew it was going to be huge!

This place is amazing. Hidden gem in the anthem area. The Panang is exceptional. The flavor is amazing, I often compare to other locations around the country and still haven’t found one I like better. Awesome spot, fried rice is great as well! Highly recommend giving this place a try!
