Babu G.

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.

Crazy Noodle w/ Shrimp
Carm R.

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
Paul S.

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.

Thai tea

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!

Drunken noodles and orange chicken.

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.

30. Medusa Noodle with shrimp
Yara D.

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!

Pad see ew with orange chicken

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

Colleen M.

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.

Nice service, tasty food, good vegetarian options. Ambience is OK and it is somewhat hidden in a location by itself.

The space itself is small, but the interior is surprisingly aesthetic and cozy, which makes it feel intentional rather than cramped. I usually gravitate toward the green curry, which hits that perfect balance of creamy, aromatic, and spicy without overpowering everything else on the plate. The flavors are bold but still refined, and nothing tastes muddy. The tom yum is another standout for me. It's bright, tangy, and comforting all at once, with layers of flavor that really pop. Even the side dishes shine. I'm a big fan of the chicken wings and skewers. They're seasoned well, cooked perfectly, and never feel like an afterthought. What really elevates the experience is how balanced yet distinctive everything tastes. Each dish stands out on its own, but the overall flavor profile feels cohesive. Service is always attentive, and the staff is consistently smiling and welcoming, which makes the wait feel easier. I also love that it's BYOB. It makes it super easy to enjoy a relaxed night, especially when I'm just snacking on appetizers with my own drinks. Sala Thai is a gem.

The staff here are so kind it really made the experience of having to wait a bit so much better! The gentleman at the front door recommended a wine bar around the corner to wait at after we got on the list, which was a cute divey spot. The food was delicious, we loved the papaya salad so much, there were so many flavors of spicy and tangy, and the papaya itself was very refreshing. We had the Pad kee mao and Panang curry which were also delicious. For the chicken pad kee mao we requested it to be gluten free and they gave us the same rice noodles as the Pad Thai and a slightly different sauce which was so darn good! The chicken was very tender. When the Panang curry said it came with beef, I didn't know what to think but after a single bite I was a huge fan! So many flavors hit you at once and the beef was so incredible, it was falling part. I also ordered the savory cocktail option (I can't remember the name) which had cucumber vodka, fish sauce, mint, onion, and some other goodies, and wow! It changed my life. Highly highly recommend. Overall would definitely come back here, we were a walk in on a Saturday night and had an hour and a half wait to get in.

SENTRY - WATCHING RESTAURANTS…read more Smile Thai Cuisine 2107 S. Rural Road Tempe, 85282 I last visited this restaurant more than 10 years ago, so it was time for a new review. Upon entering I immediately noticed that the inside has totally changed. The entrance seems to be filled with a bar and a cash register and the tables have moved to the side. We started off with an appetizer of chicken satay. Long thin strips of chicken threaded onto skewers and served with a peanut sauce. It was a tasty dish though a bit difficult to get off the wooden skewers. For companions main course, ordered was pork cashew nuts. The dish had a melange of vegetables in a chile/garlic sauce. Companion enjoyed it be was unable to finish the dish because the portion was large. I ordered duck curry. I asked for it to be spicy, but unfortunately it was anything but that. The sauce was thin and without body and had an assortment of veggies in it along with some duck. At the bottom of the bowl I found a leg of duck. The dish was served with white rice which I promptly added to the sauce in an attempt to soak up some of it, but alas, it was to no avail. For drinks, we both ordered Thai Tea, which was properly made. It is served in tall jars, and neither of us could drink it all. If you have real Thai food that is Thai hot, Thai Tea will get rid of the heat on your palate in less than a minute. Cleanliness is a bit of a question, as our table had some old food encrusted on the edge. 3 Stars

Being at Mekong Plaza on…read moreNew Year's Day around lunch time, it seemed impossible snagging a parking spot so we decided to go somewhere else. Looking at nearby Thai restaurants, we ventured to Tempe to give our second option a try only to find them closed for the holiday. I see Smile wasn't too far from where we were at so we decided to give them a go. Why not try something new in the new year? We were greeted as soon as we walked in, the host/server was welcoming and provided great service the entire time. We ordered their Thai tea, crab wontons and spring rolls for our drinks and appetizers. They were crispy fried and so delicious. The appetizers come with a standard sweet chili dipping sauce. For my entree I ordered their chicken bbq with a side of fried rice. My friend ordered chicken red curry. For dessert, we ordered their Thai custard sticky rice and the mango sticky rice. Wow! All I can say is, what a great experience! We were so impressed with the food that I think this is our new spot. We'll tell our friends and family to give this restaurant a try.

My plan was to quickly go inside, find a table, and then come back out to calm her before seating the rest of the family. Instead, my sister-in-law politely asked a staff member for two high chairs and a place to sit. The lady assisting us (I'm not sure of her name) told us that we could only sit outside because our child was crying, and that they didn't want that inside. I was honestly shocked and didn't even know how to respond. Without arguing, we simply went outside and seated ourselves, but the damage was already done. Someone completely ruined our night after a long and rough day my wife had with the kids. This review isn't about the food -- we never even got that far. It's 100% about customer service. I am a business owner myself, and my customer service runs from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM every day. I have never treated customers this way, especially families with children. I understand this review may impact the business, and I truly hope the owner or a manager reaches out to explain how this situation was handled. Sam here 4802657032
