    Boat noodles B2 (brisket & meatball)
    Melinda C.

    Highly recommend this place. We ordered the B2 boat noodles (brisket & meatball) and Poo Goong Obb Woon Sen (cellophane noodles with shrimp, bacon, mushroom, crab meat, ginger, veggies). Both dishes were DELICIOUS - just a bit too salty. Reminded me of authentic thai town restaurants in LA. Some lacking areas were that the waiters didn't check on us at all during the meal, and they play loud, copyright-free edm remixes of pop songs. However I'd still love to come back and try other dishes I was eyeing like the larb salad and tom yum soup.

    The food was really good! The waitress was really sweet and made sure we knew the levels of joy we'd were choosing. The water was absolutely delicious. That's saying a lot because I never like water in AZ even when filtered but I drank most of it by myself. The restaurant was quaint and intimate and very lovely.

    I ordered the ribeye special, I forget what it was called, but I think it had the name tiger in it. It was delicious, the only thing I would do differently in the future is ask for no peppercorn because every time I bit down on them that ruined the bite for me. I'm sure anybody that enjoys them would love it. The ribeye was prepared perfectly! It was very tasty and the accompanying sauce was delicious. Service was very rushed but they were super busy. They checked on me regularly enough as they ran by which I appreciated and they had a great menu. I would definitely go back and order the same thing. The cucumber salad was also very appetizing and light. Most of the appetizers were a bit pricey otherwise I would've tried a few..

    I do love a good, hidden gem! Stopped by for lunch and really enjoyed it. The chicken satay was the best I think I've ever had. We came towards the end of lunch service and they had run out of the soup, which was a bummer but it's just an excuse to come back! Food was really good! The chicken was amazing and the portions were really good! Note on the lunch menu - we thought the combo came with an appetizer but it's an extra cost. Also, I wish refills were included in the beverage. Weird (notable) mention but the bathroom was cute! All in all, really good food. Will absolutely come back!

    Ginger mixed vegetables (#7)
    Gabi M.

    My husband and I had a very good meal at Chada Thai on a recent Thursday night... It had been a long day and neither of us felt like cooking, so when I suggested we go out for Thai food, he was agreeable. We ended up at this restaurant, which was formerly Noodles Ranch, and shared edamame, Pad Thai with Chicken and a Ginger Mixed Veggie Dish with Tofu. Medium Spice on both dishes. Service was friendly and quick, prices and portions were reasonable, atmosphere is comfortable but far from fancy. That said, it was a positive overall experience and we will likely be back soon! It's worth mentioning that I've also ordered delivery from Chada before and also recommend it for to-go orders!

    Papaya salad
    Shakira E.

    Nice spot for Thai food near my gym, tonight I went with a friend and we enjoyed ourselves sharing papaya salad, tempura avocado, Glass noodles and Tom Kha soup. The only issue was that they drizzle a mayo sauce on the avocado and it wasn't mentioned in the description of the starter. Overall the food was good and I would return. There is plenty of seating in the dining room including booths if you want to be cozy. Parking is free but can be difficult depending on the time and day of the week. The service was gracious and attentive. I was there for Dinner and service starts at 4:30pm and that is when the doors open. Check the hours before you plan on stopping by.

    Green curry (with extra vegetables)
    Catalina L.

    Very flavorful and tasty food for the two dishes. We opted for medium heat and this was the right amount of average heat but not overwhelming. Staff was friendly and leaves a water jug for you to refill on own. Overall would give this more of a 4.5/5 Pad See Ew - great noodle texture and had some of that roasted wok flavor. This was well made and really enjoyed! Customized to remove bell peppers Green Curry - the recommended more flavorful curry (compared to the red) and was enjoyed too! I liked this mix of veggies like broccoli, bamboo shoots, bell peppers, carrots. The side of the white rice was small bowl and off ratio portion to how much curry portion there was. Still tasty

    Mango sticky rice
    Mabel R.

    Love this place! Good place for a gathering with friends, quick lunch, or a casual date night. It's close to home and the food is consistently delicious. My favorite drink is their Thai tea and my favorite dishes are the glass noodles, the Pad Thai noodles, and the mango sticky rice. The ambiance is relaxed and the decor is bright, modern, and trendy. This place does get busy in the evenings so please be patient. Fortunately, they've set up a seating inside for those who need to wait. The service is usually pretty good considering how busy they can get. I do think they're a little pricey but totally worth it when you can splurge.

    Chinese broccoli with crispy pork
    Payeng L.

    This is a small restaurant in a strip mall like parking lot. The interior has nice ambient lighting and was clean. We got there just as it they turned the "open" sign on so the waitress looked kinda shocked when we walked in but we were greeted and the staff seemed friendly. We ordered the beef larb, lunch green chicken curry and the lunch Chinese broccoli with crispy pork. The food was excellent & very authentic. The spice level here is no joke so if you can't handle spicy, stick with spice level 1-3. My husband's green curry was a spice level 4 and he said it had a very nice kick but he can handle spicy. I'm so glad we found this placd

    Great food!!

    If you're looking for authentic Thai food, this is the best place you can find. Having lived in Thailand for over 30 years, I always seek out true, traditional flavors -- and this restaurant is one of the best I've found. Beyond the food, the experience here feels just like Thailand: you're treated not just as a customer, but as family, always welcomed with a warm smile. Give them a try -- you won't regret it!

It's close to the house, easy for a laid-back lunch, and one of those places you end up recommending without even thinking about it. I've worked my way through most of the menu at this point, and I honestly can't remember a single miss. The food is consistently fresh, full of flavor, and cooked the way it should be. No shortcuts, no off days. I usually land on the crispy rice clay pot, which has that perfect mix of texture and depth. My wife goes straight for the lemongrass rice plate every time and doesn't even consider switching it up. That alone tells you something. We almost always start with a couple orders of spring rolls. Mix it up depending on the mood. They're light, fresh, and a good way to ease into the meal without overthinking it. The place itself is on the smaller side, but that's part of the charm. It feels relaxed, not cramped. Clean every time we've been in, which is something I notice more than I probably should. Service hits that sweet spot too. Attentive, friendly, but they're not hovering over your shoulder while you're trying to eat. Prices are more than fair for what you're getting, especially considering how consistent everything is. If you're anywhere near Scottsdale and want Vietnamese that just gets it right without making a big show of it, this is an easy choice. We keep coming back, and that's about as honest a review as it gets.

When we walked in it had a very fishy smell, so it kind of made us second guess our choice. But we went for it anyhow. The greeter/server was very pleasant and sat us. It was very clean inside with ample space between seat. We browsed through the menu and started with our usual edamame and pot stickers. The edamame was salted well throughout where a lot of places just put the salt on top only. We ordered a couple varieties of sake which were both good. Out of all of the things we ordered the karange skewer was just a little more oily than were use to, but still good. The spicy salmon roll had really great flavor and the lollipop roll was probably one of the better versions that we have had. The musubi was giant to say the least, it was good, but offered a bit too much rice. Overall the food and service was great and we were very happy that we ended up here!

    On a Sunday evening, after checking out the Desert Botanical Garden, I was looking for some food in…read morethe area. I came across Zu Izakaya and it's great reviews as one of the options. I love Japanese food so my decision was made. I drove over and parked in their complimentary lot. Ambiance (3.5/5): I've been to Japan and there are plenty of izakayas there. Think of them as small bars which often serve solid food. Zu fits that bit. It's a relatively small restaurant, probably seats about 30 people. and it's pretty no frills for a Japanese spot. I was seated at a booth in the corner of the restaurant. They have free WiFi which is always a good touch. Service (3/5): Service was friendly, though a bit inconsistent. My waitress wasn't as attentive as I would have liked. The type of service where you have to flag them down to get what you want and to close out. Drinks (4/5): Zu has a nice menu of Japanese and Korean beverages, including sake, soju, Japanese beer, and more. With that being said, I just had an iced green tea. Food (4/5): I got a nice variety. I went with the Japanese sausage off of the grill menu, the OBI mayo roll off of the sushi menu, and the cheese corn off of the appetizer menu. Let's start with the sausage. It's a small item, two small sausages, but absolutely delicious. The sausage was bursting with flavor and basted in a sweet sauce. Minus the portion size, perfection. The cheese corn also hit the spot, but the execution was off. The corn is served on a hot platter, and unfortunately some of the corn on the edges was badly burnt. The type of situation where they should start over. Which they didn't. Lastly, the OBI mayo roll is essentially a California roll with marinated warm shrimp on top in a mayo sauce. I didn't love the hot and cold combo (shrimp and sushi), but outside of the temperature, it was a delicious roll. All in all, a very food meal. My only gripe with Japanese food is that it can get expensive quick. Given that Zu is in Tempe, I was hoping that prices would be a little cheaper. With that being said, they do have a solid happy hour (and reverse happy hour) with both food and drink specials. Next time I stop by, I'd like to check out some of their Korean options. I focused on the Japanese stuff this time (which makes the majority of the menu). Next time around, the bulgogi is calling my name!

My wife and I enjoy ordering Noodles & Co. either using the app or even through Uber Eats. This is a company that has been around for 30 years, and they know noodles! The food is always tasty!

Best with marinated steak.). My wife likes the Pasta Fresca (rigatoni noodles in balsamic vinaigrette, olive oil, roasted garlic, red onion, roasted tomato and spinach, topped with parmesan). We ordered Chicken Parmesan and Pasta Fresca for pick-up yesterday. The dishes came out good but the option of substituting a Pasta Fresca vegetable to the roasted zucchini was not option any longer, which was disappointing.

The service is typically hit or miss.

Upon entering, we were free to seat ourselves and chose a booth by the wall. It was not busy at all and the service was quick and friendly. We started off with a large sake bomb paired with a Kirin Light ($15). We then ordered two Tonkotsu Ramens, one medium spice and one hot spice ($15.99 each). Honestly, the hot spice level did not taste spicy at all, so I would recommend going extra hot if you like spice. They also provide chili powder on the table if you want to add more spice yourself. The ramen broth itself could have used a tad more flavor. I lightly added some soy sauce to the broth which is something I often do to add a little kick. I loved all of the toppings included, from the green onions to the kikurage (wood ear mushroom). My favorite part was the pork chashu, which was really tender and delicious. I also appreciated that the ramen came with a full soft boiled egg rather than half an egg, and the egg was perfectly runny. Before leaving, we ordered their tea special that was buy one get one. We got a matcha milk tea and a cafe latte which I forgot to take a photo of. I felt like the cafe latte could have used a little more sweetness to balance it. Also, I found it neat that Nishikawa offers a rewards program, not something I see often at ramen shops. My true rating would be 4.5 due to some of the criticisms I mentioned above, but overall I still had a good experience. Thank you for serving us. Visited 5/2/26

I sat there for several minutes and when she came back, she asked if I was ready to order. I asked for a menu and then she tapped this little sign on the table that had a QR code on it. I guess they want you to use your phone to look up the menu but then she brought me a printed menu and a glass of water. I had about a minute to look at the menu before the waitress came back and asked what I wanted. I ordered the small portion of the chicken karaage appetizer and the Nishikawa Black Ramen. Both items came out at about the same time. The chicken was good and there was a lot which somewhat surprised me because I thought they had given me a large portion by mistake. The only downside was that the plate was really small so the chicken kept tumbling onto the table. The ramen was just ok. It came in a really big bowl and there was a lot of broth and toppings but relatively little noodles in comparison. It was more like a bowl of soup. The slice of pork was huge but a little bit chewy when I was expecting it to be tender. The egg wasn't sliced so it was difficult to pick up the entire piece with my chopsticks. The chicken was $7 and the ramen was $18. I would have been ok just getting the chicken, perhaps a large portion for $12. I wouldn't get this particular ramen again. With tax and a tip my total was a little over $31 which isn't the most I've spent at a ramen restaurant, but it wasn't cheap either. I wasn't offered a refill on my drink until after I had paid and was ready to leave. In fact, I only saw the waitress once after my food was brought out, and that was when she brought me the bill. The rest of the time she was somewhere in the kitchen.
