My husband has passed this restaurant every year when he is in town for the National Racquetball tournament. He says there is always a line out the door. Granted the business is quaint, but that still tells you something. So made it in just in time. Only a few spots open for seating. There were a lot of pick up orders while we were there. We ordered the appetizer egg rolls, crab rangoon's. For dinner we ordered the combo fried rice, drunken noodles with chicken and pad prik king with chicken. I wanted to order the mango sticky rice, but the server mentioned that the frozen mango's weren't quite thawed. They were using frozen since it's really not quite the season for mangos. So she gave us complimentary fried bananas (wrapped like egg rolls) with vanilla ice cream. This restaurant heat scale is 1-5, and our rule for new places that we try we always go low. We went with a 2 for both the drunken noodles and pad prik king. My dish was fine but the drunken noodle was more spicy. The flavors were very good though. The fried rice was perfecto. I ordered a Thai Iced tea and that was perfect too. You can call me a Thai Iced tea snob. The dessert is not my favorite (I'm not a fan of cooked bananas of any kind, so far), but husband enjoyed it. I do appreciate that the server offered a kind gesture in place of the mango sticky rice, points for that! The service was excellent and the vibe of the entire staff fantastic. The place is cozy and decor fits the culture and it looks like some vintage pics. Private parking for the business. There might be street parking on the very busy street. I would most definitely return here.
OMG. Fantastic service, food, just amazing. Small place, so you may have to wait in line to get food. Appetizers we had were great. I didn't have the pork dumplings but those who did, loved them. The egg rolls were tasty, and the sauce was the killer as in good. Mains We went family style here. Pineapple fried rice - big win, enjoyed. They went light spice. Yellow Curry - sauce fantastic, the second person went full combo with shrimp, chicken, beef and loved it. I tried the sauce definitely different but food. Medium spice. Eggplant with chicken - wonderful sauce, eggplant done right, light spice. Drunken Noodles with Tofu - I went medium spice but it showed up spicier than that. It's sad because the tofu was solid and the noodles were done correctly. But at the spice level, hot was intolerable. I loved they had the chopsticks right there. Pricing is really good. Place doesn't look great from the outside, but after eating, best Thai I've had in Phoenix
Decent for Americanized Thai food, though not great compared to what we have in Los Angeles. We ordered the pad kee now, the spring rolls, and the green curry. The seasoning on the pad kee mow was not memorable. The wrapper on the spring roll was way too thick. You felt like you were eating a dumpling. The only thing that was good out of the three was the green curry, though the rice was clumpy.
First time here and not sure if I liked it but what I got was in the dry side and only 1 shrimp. So i am still 50/50
Finally! Authentic Thai food in Phoenix! Well I finally found it, lol. Its a small place (really small). Maybe 5 tables in the place. From the outside it looks like an old one story house needing to be fixed up that was turned into a restaurant. Green papaya salad - great! Garlic chicken wings appetizer - great (ordered a second one to go - that good!) - Drunken noodles - great! Yellow curry chicken - great! Service was exceptional! Got there 30 minutes before others in my party of 3 (well 2 - 1 couldn't make it). The host advised to sit at a table as the place gets packed. So, I enjoyed appetizers and papaya salad while I waited. Friendly and attentive service! I will be back. By the way - clean bathroom with plenty of soap.
Chanpen Thai Cuisine is my favorite Thai restaurant. The restaurant may not look like much on the outside, but its food is among the best Thai in the Phoenix area. While it is a bit of a drive for me, the drive is worth it. The restaurant is tiny, with only a few tables and booths to sit at. They are more popular as a takeout restaurant. Both times I have been thus far, I have dined in the restaurant. The first time I went, I got their chicken chow mein, which was some of the best chow mein I have ever had. On my most recent visit, I got their yellow curry with chicken. It was some of the best yellow curry I have ever had. Both dishes were loaded with flavor and tasted authentic. One of my closest friends and his girlfriend came with me, and they said it was some of the best Thai food they have ever had as well. The service is friendly and efficient. Both times I have walked in, I have been greeted with a warm smile by one of the staff members. I ended up getting there before they opened on my most recent visit, and they apologized for making me have to wait for them to open. However, since it was my day off, I had no issue with waiting, and it was perfect weather out. The wait was worth it. Both times I have gone there, they have even offered free ice cream, which was a delightful bonus. On the first visit, I had their fried banana with ice cream, and they were a perfect pairing. Highly recommend trying it if you are in the mood for dessert. For such excellent Thai food, their prices are not only reasonable, but they also have generous portion sizes. If anyone is looking for a great, authentic Thai restaurant in the Phoenix area, look no further. Chanpen Thai Cuisine is among the best Thai food Arizona has to offer.
12 years later. Still delicious. Still amazing. Location is small, but they were busy with to go orders. Stuck with my potstickers, masamun curry with chicken, and Thai iced coffee. And as always, delicious as ever.
Tiny hole in the wall, please. There's about five tables. Service was fine and the food was excellent. I went there around 2:20 PM. Ordered my food and was out by 252. It was a quick turnaround. I got the lunch special in a tie iced coffee. It came to about 15 bucks. Quick and easy and delicious food. I would highly recommend.
This was my second visit to Chanpen Thai Cuisine, and once again, the food was excellent. Authentic Thai flavors and a great variety on the menu. We ordered the Shrimp Papaya Salad, Stuffed Wings, Chicken Pad Thai (a bit on the sweet side but still good), Drunken Noodles, Duck Mango Red Curry, Crab Fried Rice, Basil Lamb (better than expected!), and Karee Puff -- a Thai-style empanada filled with chicken. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared. The prices are very reasonable, and the service was friendly. A fun bonus -- their water is infused with cucumber and incredibly refreshing. I honestly think this might be the best water I've had at any Asian restaurant! Overall, I'd rank Chanpen Thai in my top 5 Thai restaurants in the Phoenix area. Highly recommended!
Very friendly service and they have a great lunch special. The place is pretty small and so is the parking lot, but they had me in and out pretty quickly. As I was sitting and eating they had a lot of to go orders being ordered and picked up. I've had the pad thai and the sweet and sour chicken and both were great but the sweet and sour is my favorite. The chicken is so nice and crispy. I'm excited to come back and try more items in the future.
Sometimes the best meals aren't found behind flashy signage or trendy interiors--they're tucked into quiet corners of the neighborhood, waiting for the curious. This local Thai hole-in-the-wall near my house is a perfect reminder of why it pays to wander off the beaten path. At first glance, I didn't think much of it. But after a 20-minute wait for a seat, the reason quickly became clear. Inside, the restaurant is tiny--just four booths and one small table, seating no more than 18 guests total. Tight quarters, yes, but cozy and inviting, the kind of place where the aroma of simmering sauces tells you you're in the right spot. The menu was surprisingly expansive, featuring many dishes I hadn't yet experienced. Each item was clearly described, with ingredients listed in English--welcoming both seasoned Thai-food lovers and adventurous newcomers. Service was friendly, fast, and attentive. The tap water deserves its own mention: ice-cold, crisp, and constantly refilled. Skip the canned sodas and go straight for it. We ordered the sweet and sour chicken, shrimp fried rice, shrimp chow mein, and a few appetizers. The flavors were clean and satisfying--nothing overcomplicated, just well-executed comfort food with depth. Portions leaned on the smaller side, especially for the price, but the quality made up for it... mostly. The space itself was clean and comfortable, right down to the restroom--which, while very small, earned a respectable B on the Luis Scale for cleanliness. No fountain drinks here, but they do offer tea and other options if water isn't your thing. The bill came in just shy of $100 for four adults--pricey considering portion size--but then came dessert: orange sherbet nestled atop a warm fried banana. That final bite made everything feel worth it. Would I return? Maybe. But more importantly, it reminded me why local, hole-in-the-wall eateries deserve a chance. Step outside the norm, take a seat where space is tight but flavors are big, and don't forget to tip your servers. On to the next adventure.
Parking: Small free lot with street parking available. This is a small restaurant. It has about five booths and a small bistro table. As someone who has been to Thailand, it felt like I was transported back to Bangkok. It was definitely warm inside. I ordered crab rangoon (appetizer), chicken wings (appetizer), green curry, pad see ew, and pad thai. The crab rangoon did not have much filling, and the chicken wings were fried and then covered in sweet Thai chili sauce. The green curry was savory; it had string beans, bamboo, carrots, and I added pork. It was great and something I would order again. The pad see ew and pad thai were both very standard but good. The pad thai was on the sweeter side, but I enjoyed the restaurant and the experience. All of it was good but not amazing. I definitely encourage going here if you want an authentic experience.
You know what, let's update this review! I can't believe how long it's been since I've dined here, years. This is an excellent spot for Thai cuisine and one of my favorites in the valley. I would visit more but it's a bit too far and I don't find myself in this area often. However it was a special occasion yesterday and we were celebrating a birthday, so we made plans to eat here. We arrived around noon and the place was rightfully packed, considering there are just seven (7) tables/booths. Several people came in and picked up their to-go orders, which makes sense since this place is small. We didn't have to wait long and the fabulous waitress took our orders while we were waiting for a table to open up. Once a party left, we got a booth and our food arrived shortly after. I ordered the shrimp spring rolls which come with a hoisin peanut sauce and they were refreshing and tasty as expected. We were served complimentary cabbage soup which didn't appeal much to me but I will not complain about free food! For my entree, I ordered the vegetarian pad Thai from their lunch menu, which came with tofu and veggies, as well as wonton chips and a fried spring roll. It was good and the spice level was spot on (4/5). Service was quick, efficient and friendly! I ordered two dishes and a drink to go and they were prepared in a reasonable time. They were also packaged well which I appreciated as the bag tipped over during my drive home. I got to try their Thai tea and it was yummy, I love that they made it with no ice and didn't charge extra for it - only $3.95. I took leftovers home to enjoy the next day and they were delicious. Looking forward to coming back, hopefully not years later!

Alan (owner) and Pablo (summer part time server) provide the most friendly service. Small place so get there early to have a space Food are the best among all Thai restaurants in the valley!! read more
Don't be fooled by the way the restaurant looks. It may look like somewhere you don't necessarily want to order food from but you will be so pleasantly surprised. The food is incredible. So full of flavor and tastes really fresh! Also the staff is so friendly! We had the chicken friend rice, chicken with mixed veggies stir fry and the potstickers. All items were delicious and probably the best Thai we've had in the valley! read more

FOOD - Pad Thai: rice noodles with chicken, shrimp, eggs, and peanuts. The flavor was good but the noodles were overcooked and on the mushier side. 3/5 - Chicken Basil: ground chicken with green beans, carrots, onions, bamboo shoots, and basil. So good! 4.5/5 - Mango Curry: chicken, with mango, carrots, bamboo shoots, onions, and basil. Delicious. 4/5. SERVICE: Fast and friendly. We ordered gyoza but it was never made. It worked out because we had plenty of food leftover. 3.5/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: I would come back. The food was good for the most part. read more

I always like this little shack place. The staff are always super friendly. Ordered Prik King with Tofu for lunch (not lunch special) since I've been craving for it for weeks. Ordered the same dish the week before from their other spot on Baseline. Typically I like the taste of the food from the Broadway location, but this time I liked the taste from the Baseline location. The Prik King I ordered from Broadway was more bland. It still tasted good, though. Will I be back? Of course I will! read more
Very good prices and decent portions. I got the pad thai in spice level 4 & I think it was a nice touch of spice. I think for spice lovers maybe 5 may be a better choice. The chicken satay was really yummy and flavorful, would get that one again. The fried rice I feel like had some sort of seasoning that reminded me of fish so that one I liked less. Overall though it was a good meal & I would definitely come back. Service was pretty quick and I was able to get seating for two in 15 minutes despite it being relatively small inside. I came here on a Sunday around 5pm. read more

I was very impressed by this little "hole in the wall" Thai place. The guy working was extremely nice, despite being crazy busy with the lunch rush. I almost couldn't find a spot in the lot to run in and pick up my curry. The vegetarian curry with tofu was great, and I'll definitely be back. read more

Visiting from out of state and my husband and I were craving Thai food. Reviews pointed us to Chanpen Thai Cuisine for its authenticity, flavors and friendly service. We parked in their lot (almost missed them driving at night) and they were still accepting takeout orders less than an hour before closing. We're grateful they let us take a table. We quickly ordered and food came out fast. - Thai milk tea: solid drink, good light sweetness and strong Thai tea flavors - Crab Rangoons: light crisp, more soft chew than crispy at the bottom - Thai Fried Chicken Wings: excellent flavor and even better crunch, people ordering takeout was raving about the wings so we had to get it - Pad thai: great flavor, fresh and right amount of heat (customizable) - Green Curry: so good, mild spice had a great kick to it. Overall very delicious and reasonable prices. Very nice people work here and worth a visit if you're craving Thai food and like cozy dine ins. read more

Wow, this restaurant is a hidden jewel that I was so happy to find on Christmas Day. This is without a doubt, now my favorite Thai food restaurant in the area. Everything we ordered took what I already knew about Thai food and made it more flavorful. The crab puffs were crunchy but the center had a perfect amount of stuffing to balance it out, the sauce it came with was great. The chicken satay--that peanut sauce it came with was heavenly! The meat was cooked well, not dry at all. Nice and juicy. The green curry was flavorful, level 2 would get you to mild spice and a 1 is zero spicy, I thought the 2 was just enough but the spiciness can build up if you don't have other stuff to eat. Pad see ew was flavorful (the beef was meh) but the taste of the noodles and the sauce was way better than average. Sweet and sour sauce chicken does not have a lot of sauce but I liked it this way cause you still get the flavor without the heaviness. It was so crunchy and delicious to eat. Service was great, attentive, and friendly despite working a holiday. They have small amount of staff but stayed on top of everything. The only thing that wasn't great was the amount of flies trying to fly around and land on our food when eating inside the restaurant, but I'd still go back because their food is delicious and worth it, I'd go back multiple times over. Happy eating! read more

It's a little restaurant with 5 tables and excellent service just south of the airport. We ordered pad thai with chicken, beef fried rice, green curry, Tom yum soup, wonton soup, pad see ew with chicken, and crab puffs and dumplings for appetizers. The green curry and Tom yum soup were really good. The other stuff was all alright. I've had better of each, but glad we tried such a variety. read more

We usually go to the tempe location because it's closer but today's google map sent us here to the PHX location. Best mistake to happen. I honestly love both places, but will be coming back here more often. The portions seem to be bigger and more packed with protein. It is definitely a much smaller restaurant with about 5 tables. We didn't have to wait long for a Wednesday lunch afternoon. Spoke with the servers and they said that they have been open for about 14 years. I love supporting small businesses like this. I got the lunch special spicy noodle with pork and chicken red curry. Both were so delicious. The combo seafood tom yum was so flavorful. They were not skimpy with the seafood they put in the tom yum soup. Totally worth and it was about $40 for the three items we got. Recommend coming during lunch because it comes with complimentary soup and at the end they gave you complimentary matcha ice cream. There is also a small parking lot outside where you can park. They take card too which is always a plus. Will definitely be coming back! read more
Love this hole in a wall Thai restaurant! We were lucky to come in and have a booth available. Seating is limited and yet more and more customers kept coming in. Our server was very polite and filled our waters and checked on us frequently to make sure we were enjoying our food. The nosh! They have Thai fish cakes here. Tasty and served with a sweet cucumber and peanut sauce. The fried tofu came with the same sauce. My Pad Thai was delicious with peanuts and beansprouts in the side. That added the crunch factor. The green curry was fragrant and thickened with coconut. There was a lot of food, but it was so good that I ate every bite. read more
Got recommended for this place from a server at a restaurant. He knew place is very small I think they had six tables Very friendly when you walk in the door Places pretty busy, but they're fast. We got the fish patty which is pretty good Little spongy. That was the only thing the fresh spring rolls didn't care for those. The drunken noodles where one the best i've had in phoenix Ordered level 4 heat should of got kevel 5 but the chili I ask for on the side were grate it was like a hot citrus flavor at the end they give you a little scoop of icecream witch was a nice touch our server was very nice she watches every one she on top of everything definitely will go back read more
This was my second time here and the food did not disappoint! We ordered the beef salad, red curry, and the Tom Kha. The standout dish was definitely the Tom Kha--we got it at Thai hot, it has satisfying burn but definitely not overwhelming. read more
The reviews sounded awesome so I had to try for myself. I was more than skeptical when I pulled into the lot. It's actually looks like a small shack and hard to tell if they were open or still in business. I'm adventurous so went for it. Inside is really outdated and can use some paint. The are very friendly and o was seated right away. There's not many tables. I order the pad Thai with chicken. The order came out fast. It looked a little on the orange side which is not typical. To my surprise the flavor was excellent and authentic! I could not get enough! With the bill, staff brought out two fried banana chunks which was very tasty. Don't let the exterior scare you, this place is excellent! Will be back soon to try other dishes. read more

Hole in the wall spot in Phoenix was a huge surprise - DELICIOUS! Everything tasted delicious - pad thai, yellow curry, garlic chicken wings, and thai iced tea. I love pad thai & most places make pretty mediocre tasting pad thai; not here though! The pad thai was super tasteful, and I've ordered this dish many times at different cities and states. The inside is pretty small with only a few tables. The service was friendly and timely. read more

Hi, do they serve beer or wine?
Maybe beer, no wine but I've never seen anybody drinking any.
How is the parking?
They have a small parking lot. The dining area itself is fairly small. I believe it has around 7 to 10 tables. The few times I've eaten here I've always sat down but the time I'm eating and waiting people are coming in and out grabbing to go orders.
