    Wanted to grab some Thai food so stopped in, they had a lot of different dishes in their menu. I got their panang curry and garlic veggie dish. I will say the panang curry was not that good it didn't feel like it had much depth to it. The garlic veggie dish I got was really solid and I liked it a lot. I didn't sit inside and instead ordered Togo but they have a lot of tables and they also look to have a fresh juice making area but it was closed so didn't get to experience that.

    I got takeout for dinner from here and it was pretty good. I ordered the pad see ew with tofu and the mango sticky rice. When I picked up my order they had forgotten the mango sticky rice so I'm glad I checked before walking out. They were pretty quick in prepping it at least. The mango sticky rice was almost too sweet but still decent. The interior seemed nice and clean and they had a fun little kid's corner. I'd get food from here again as it's rather close and good overall but there's a little room for some improvements.

    I had an incredible experience at this Thai restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing--every dish was bursting with authentic flavor and cooked to perfection. You can really tell they put care into both the ingredients and presentation. The service was just as impressive; the staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. The ambience was beautiful, well decorated, making it a perfect spot for a an authentic meal. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Drunken Noodle lunch

    I had the Drunken Noodle lunch today. The flavor profile was not at all like any Drunken Noodles I have had before. It was very, very sweet. The noodles were very soft and almost mushy. The side "salad" was iceberg with a bit of carrot and a tasteless dressing. The place was clean and the service was impeccable. I will try once more and order something different to see if it hits the spot.

    Bangkok grill is a great halal Thai spot in Tempe Arizona! We ordered the pad Thai noodles, chicken satay, tom yum soup and coconut drink. The noodles had a great spicy kick and very flavorful. The chicken satay was tender and the peanut sauce it came with was tasty. The tom yum soup was sweet and sour. The service was attentive and friendly. Overall Bangkok grill is a great halal Thai spot!

    Bangkok Fact: The world knows the Thai capital as Bangkok, but locals refer to their city as Krungthep or 'City of Angels'. The full, 169-characters long name has been listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest name of a place. If you really want to challenge yourself, try pronouncing the full name without pausing - Krungthepmahanakhon Amonrattanakosin Mahinthara Yutthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udom Ratchaniwet Mahasathan Amonphiman Awatansathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukamprasit. Not realizing that this place was still owned by the same sweet lady as their prior concept, Knockout Cafe, I made the mistake of ordering the same thing as my previous visit: Drunken Noodles with tofu and an Orange Chicken on the side. My drunken noodles were super sweet this time. As for the orange chicken, while good, the portion size in comparison to the noodles is staggering. I support a great woman-owned business and wish them success. The owner is a sweet lady with such great energy. 3.5 stars but I'll round up. Don't forget to try the coffee shop in the back.

    29. Crazy Noodle
    Yu W.

    Spend your time and money elsewhere I fully understand the crazy noodles will be made from instant noodles, because this was not the first time having this kind of noodle dishes. However, the noodles weren't evenly cooked. Some part of the noodles were still hard. I mean, who can't cook instant noodles well? Even I can do it! I believe it's around 15-16 dollars for the noodles, but there was NO meat included but a bunch of vegetables, and carrots happened to be my least favorite vegetable. I ordered "crazy noodles" because I want to enjoy some craziness, not because I want to be a good kid and eat my vegetables. When I picked out all the noodles from the cup, guess what I found? More veggies. And I ordered some shrimp tempura, but I am 80% sure that those shrimps were premade. The only good thing about this restaurant is that there was a very sweet young waitress and her service was 10 out of 10. Anyway, very disappointing dining experience. Will never come back again.

    Went there with hubby and friends. We had their delicious Thai tea, and we each ordered a dish that was good. Portions are big and service is very friendly! I asked for spices on the side of my dish and they didn't seem to do that, but they accommodated my request. They have a pretty big selection if you want to try Thai!

    First time here and the food was very delicious and cooked well also the restaurant is clean and they offered good service plus the Thai tea was so yummy definitely coming back .

    After living in Phoenix for 3.5 years, ive been so hesitant on trying new thai food because the locals have recommended places like glai baan and lom wong but ive been disappointed... until now! Bangkok grille has the BEST tom yum (didnt get a picture), very flavorful and their spice definitely does not disappoint!! We love spice so we enjoyed evry savory, halal-meat filled bite. We also got the bangkok wings (didnt get a picture) which were also good, a little Lunch portions were also big! Definitely give them a try!!

    Food was great! Service was amazing. Nice atmosphere.

    Food and services was great! Nice family ran business. Friendly service great food. We will definitely come back and recommend to others

    the food here is incredible! My sisters and I decided to try a new restaurant a few weeks ago and were beyond impressed by this place! The food is full of flavor and incredibly delicious. The service is fast and the vibe is great! We will be coming again!

    Amazing Thai food in Chandler. If you love heat like I do, try their Medusa Noodles. Food is made fresh to order and the flavor is on point. This is not your traditional Thai, and I welcome the change.

    Drunken noodles. Uses what seem to be fettuccine noodles, not the typical wide asian noodles.

I've had Italian Beef before. I've loved Italian Beef before. But nothing--NOTHING--prepared me for the transcendent, jaw-dropping, flavor-explosion experience that is ordering the Big Beef DIPPED at this Chandler location. If you haven't done it yet, you haven't lived. And if you've had it elsewhere but haven't had it here with their cheese sauce... well, buckle up, because you're about to discover your new favorite thing on the entire planet. From the second you walk into Portillo's on Ray Road, you can smell the magic--crisp sport peppers, rich au jus, and that unmistakable aroma of slow-roasted beef that makes your stomach growl instantly. But the real moment of truth comes when you look that server in the eye and say: "I'll take the Big Beef, DIPPED, LOADED with cheese sauce. And I mean loaded." Watch their face light up--they know. They understand. This is not just a sandwich; it's a ritual, and this location performs it with reverence. Then it arrives. Oh. My. Goodness. The bread is drenched--and I mean perfectly, gloriously drenched--in that deep, savory au jus, so every inch is saturated with rich, beefy flavor. It's not soggy; it's luscious. It's a sponge for joy. And then... the cheese sauce. Sweet, spicy, velvety, liquid gold--it's like someone took pepper jack, dreams, and a touch of heaven and whipped it into a creamy, molten ribbon that cascades over every millimeter of that dipped bread and tender, shreddy beef. The first bite is not just a meal--it's a religious experience. The crunch of the giardiniera, the pop of a sport pepper, the warm, juicy beef, the cheese sauce pulling in golden strands... it's an OMG moment so intense you might actually forget your own name for a second. You'll hear yourself making sounds you didn't know you could make. You might cry a little (happy tears). You might order a second one before you've even finished the first. And here's the thing--the Chandler location executes this with flawless, almost artistic precision. The line moves fast, the staff is smiling, and they don't skimp. They don't hold back on the beef, they don't drizzle the cheese sauce like it's an afterthought--they PILE IT ON with pride. You can tell this team lives for these moments. They're not just serving food; they're delivering pure, unadulterated happiness. Even the atmosphere feels electric--like everyone in the room knows they're about to have their day made. You'll see strangers nodding at each other in mutual respect over their sandwiches. You'll hear "OMG!" echoed across the dining room (seriously). And when you finish that Big Beef Dipped--cheese sauce glistening on every corner, not a drop of au jus left--you'll sit back with a food coma smile so wide it hurts, already plotting your next visit. Bottom line: If you are within 50 miles of 7200 W Ray Rd, you have no excuse. Go. Right now. Order the Big Beef DIPPED with EXTRA cheese sauce. Thank me later. And maybe bring a napkin--because that cheese sauce is so good, you're going to want to lick every last drop off your fingers. Five stars? Try FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS PLUS A STANDING OVATION! This is the best sandwich I've ever had in my life, and I'm pretty sure it's illegal to be this good.

In fact, I'm pleasantly surprised by their growing menu and their willingness to better themselves by listening to Yelp feedback. You can really feel the spirit of home-cooking and the cozy atmosphere of a locally owned restaurant here. In the best way possible, service hasn't changed - it's still the same friendly owner greeting you with a smile and overall cheerful attitude. You can tell that they are actively growing as a restaurant and I can't help but want to cheer them on! Today, I had their banh mi pho with a side of Chinese donuts to dip into the pho broth. Absolutely delicious and great concept. My constructive feedback is if they can dial in their pho broth (which I already enjoy) to have more in-depth bone broth/spice flavor and less reliance on maybe the salty aspect. I'm excited to see the future of this establishment,

I really wanted to like this spot, especially as a fan of a well-balanced bánh mì. The sandwich was generous and good value, loaded with meat, but the execution didn't quite come together. The vegetables were tucked toward the back of the bun, making it hard to enjoy that classic balance in each bite. The mayo was far too heavy and the meat leaned overly sweet, which threw off the overall flavor. It also could have used more jalapeños and cilantro to bring some freshness and contrast. The bread was crispy, which was nice, but it was much larger in size and shape than a traditional baguette, leaning more toward a big roll than that light, airy texture you'd expect. Overall, good value but missed the mark on balance and authenticity for me. Saluti.
