The Classic
Elsie M.

A chicken rice shop in Arizona? Never thought I'd see the day! Let me start off by saying that khao mun gai is one of my top favorite comfort foods whenever I'm in Thailand. The best one I've ever had is sold by a local street vendor in Mae Sai, and I always have to make a stop there and get some whenever I visit. It's my top standard when it comes to chicken rice and nothing so far in other parts of Thailand or in Arizona have come close to that same taste. Ever since I've heard about this place, I've been wanting to go, and just recently had the chance to finally make the trip. After briefly glancing over the menu, we ordered two orders of the classic with traditional sauce (of course) to dine in, and one order of the combo to take home with us. The chicken was tender, not too dry or rubbery, and the traditional sauce was spectacular. The chicken to rice ratio was appropriate. The taste of the rice was correct, not too bland. The accompanying soup was okay, I would be fine without it. Overall, I've got to say their chicken rice is the closest tasting to my favorite vendor's chicken rice I've had so far in Arizona. The staff were friendly, and helpful. The store was adequate in size and had a quaint atmosphere with lots of natural lighting filtering in. I would say that this place is better for a fast casual lunch since it's around downtown. The food came out relatively quickly, but then again they weren't busy when we went around midday.

This pace has been on my list to try, finally on a Tuesday night I might to get there. I met my big sis there. It was very quiet for awhile, then they pick up later. Offering authentic and freshly prepared Thai cuisine. It is a cozy, clean, and friendly atmosphere. Their About Us is on their wall showing the best rice from Thailand, soup, chicken, etc. We ordered a bunch a food and shared everything: 1. Half & Half - Steamed skinless dark and white meat chicken served with ginger garlic rice 2. Clucket - Thai seasoned bite size fried chicken 3. Chicken pot stickers - Fried dumplings filled with chicken 4. Steamed purple rice - As known as forbidden rice ( fiber content makes it more nutritious than many varieties of white rice) The staff member told us a little about the menu. I think she was the only person working, or maybe someone was in the back? Either way, the food was good and tasty with all the right seasonings plus cooked well. I need to come back to try the other items.

Clucket and dumplings - The image shows fried chicken wings coated with seasoning and served in a paper tray, alongside dumplings in another paper tray. There are small containers of dipping sauces, including soy sauce and a reddish sauce. In the background, there are drinks, including a cup of green tea and a small bowl of a dark liquid. The food is placed on a metal tray with a white paper lining, suggesting a casual dining setting.

I have been wanting to check out Chick-A-Dee for a while and did not disappoint. We dined on a Tuesday night. It was pretty quiet. Go support this small business for them to continue staying in business. I loved the storyboard chicken mural detailed the sourcing of the fresh chicken. We tried the half and half with garlic rice, dumplings, purple rice, and clucket. The garlic and purple rice were so tasty. I can probably eat a few trays of the clucket nuggets with the thai sauce. It fried perfectly. The chicken portion size seems small for the high price. However, the sides were resonable to add with your meal. I am sure I'll return to try other items.

Outside - The photo depicts the exterior of Chick-A-Dee, a restaurant with large glass windows and a prominent sign displaying the name and a penguin logo. A chalkboard menu stands on the sidewalk, listing menu items such as orange chicken, sweet spicy wing, and veggie roll. The building has a modern design with a white facade, and reflections of nearby buildings and vehicles are visible in the windows.

Chick-A-Dee is something I crave for atleast weekly. My favorite dish here is the classic which is dark meat chicken skinless that has been seasoned to perfection with Thai spices. The rice here is amazing quality and flavor too tastes like ginger and very soft texture. The chicken stock is simmered for 48 hrs which is the stock used to cook the rice. My husband ordered the white meat and it was very tender as well. Order comes with a nice broth. Thai iced tea tastes perfect not too sweet and just the right ratio of cream. Service is quick she is very nice. The restaurant is located in this small plaza across Barrows which was not too difficult to find. Inside it is clean and well decorated. My only request is please come to the East Valley !!

Driven by this place a bunch of times. Decided to stop in and grab some takeaway. The service is typical counter service - cue up and order up. The menu is not large, but contains a good amount of options. The whole place revolves around chicken and rice. You can get the chicken steamed or fried. There are options for white or dark meat as well. The rice is either white or purple. I opted for 2 dishes - steamed chicken with rice and fried chicken with rice. We just ended up sharing so this gave us the best option to try the most items. The rice is very good - super flavorful. The chicken is also very good. i think I liked the steam chicken a bit more than the fried chicken. You get a choice of sauces to go with your dishes. We got sweet chili and traditional Thai. Both went really well with both types of chicken. I loved it and would definitely recommend Chick-a-Dee. N*joy..

The Combo

I love chicken and rice. I could not decide so I went with the combo steamed chicken and fried chicken. I like steamed chicken more. The sauce is the best! We went early before dinner and this place was not busy (which is good for us). I guess/wish they would be busy for lunch. If I worked in downtown, I were going to stop by all the time.

Chick-A-Dee 49 W Thomas Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85013 Thai owned business I'm back at one of my favorite spots after a long time. Today, as I head to my office, I couldn't resist stopping by for some of their delicious Chicken Soup. This soup is simply amazing, packed with hearty chicken flavor. If you're feeling under the weather, this Chicken Soup is a must-try! The tender chicken and flavorful broth really hit the spot and warm your soul. Don't miss out on their tasty Thai-style Chicken Rice too - it's absolutely delightful! The restaurant is run by two lovely Thai ladies who always greet you with a smile. Such a sweet touch!

Chick A Dee. Everyone loves a solid chicken and rice option, and this is it! The soup is decadent and chicken and rice tastes like home. 5 wings for 6 bucks is also a steal.

Half and half chicken meal with Thai traditional sauce and Thai tea
Emily L.

If I had to pick my favorite fast casual restaurant in Phoenix, Chick-a-Dee might be at the top. And there's no question that it's the only good, authentic chicken and rice spot in the Valley. I ordered the Half and Half to try both the dark and white meat, and was delighted that both were equally tender. Dipped in the Thai traditional sauce -- which tasted true to a classic khao man gai meal -- it was incredibly tasty! The soup was also light and flavorful, while the rice was perfectly seasoned. I was also pleasantly surprised that the Thai tea was fantastic too. While I'd prefer it just a touch less sweet, it had a solid amount of tea flavor and was a nice addition to the meal. If only I still lived in the area! This would absolutely be my go-to lunch spot.

The food here is so good!! This shop is located in midtown, right on Thomas Road across from St. Joe's Hospital. There's some parking available in the lot that's right in front of the store, and you can find seating indoors. I personally ordered the half-and-half, which has steamed dark and white chicken meat served with ginger garlic rice. I got my order promptly, and I knew it was going to be good when I opened up the package containing the chicken. I was given generous portions of chicken, and it was juicy and tender. It went very well with the rice and small containers of ginger garlic broth and thai traditional sauce. I literally did not stop eating until I felt full -- that's how you know the food is delicious! I'm definitely going to return in the future to order more of their chicken. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant!!

Combo chicken

If you are looking for an interesting and outstanding dining experience than I highly recommend this restaurant. I did have this on my list for a while. I finally decided to give it a try and I will definitely be back! The concept is definitely different but every item I purchased was absolutely delicious. The food is also very filling the portions are great for the price point. I ordered the combo with sweet thai chili sauce. I did have a chance to try the thai original sauce and I do recommend that more than the sweet thai chili. Chicken was prepared perfectly and the rice goes so well with the chicken. Some of the items here look so simple but are elegant. The soup provided with the meal is so clean tasting and a really nice accompaniment to the meal. Wings and Culkets had a really nice seasoning that reminded me of many delicious thai foods. They were fried nicely and not oily or greasy at all. Thai tea is also very good. Customer service was excellent. I do regret I took so long to try this because it's definitely a gem of Phoenix!!

This place is so good! We loved the regular hainan chicken especially and the rice was perfect. We got the banana dessert which was great but the ratio of banana to icecream was quite large (so much icecream). Love this concept!

Overall rating: 4.5/5 Wait: 4/5 Arrival time: Monday 4:45pm Food: 5/5 Order: combo with dark meat, crispy chicken, Thai traditional sauce, sweet and sour Service: n/a Price: 4/5 Definitely coming back Chick-a-dee's culinary symphony had me at the first bite! The garlic ginger rice was an absolute revelation, a bomb of flavors detonating with each spoonful. As for the chicken, it was a masterclass in texture - perfectly tender on the inside with a crispy exterior that sang with crunchiness. The Thai traditional sauce and sweet and sour were like a duet of tangy sweetness, each note perfectly balanced to complement the succulent chicken. It's a rare find to have such flavorful sauces that elevate the dish to an art form. This place is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates the finer points of well-crafted poultry cuisine.

They noticed that I had accidentally overpaid and came to me to issue a refund, without me even realizing it! They still made my exact same meal with no issues at all. That level of honesty and care is rare. To make the experience even more special, it was my son's birthday. The manager noticed he had a Super Mario plushie and went out of their way to bring him crayons and coloring paper featuring the same character. It completely made my son's day Great food, kind and attentive staff, and genuine care for their customers. Fly Bye doesn't just serve incredible pizza and wings, they deliver the best customer service ever. I have never had such great experience in a restaurant to the point I can't wait to go home and write this review!!! Definitely recommend to everyone!

Tried Fly Bye on Camelback and I'll just say it: this was a classic "great deal, a couple tweaks…read moreaway from greatness" situation. I called in my order at 11:20am and got quoted 25-30 minutes for the lunch special. It was ready right around that window, which immediately put me in a good mood because nothing ruins lunch faster than staring at a pickup counter like it owes you money. The guy behind the counter was friendly and even tossed in a sample of 'copy cane' sauce for me to try on my sandwich. I ordered the lunch special (pepperoni pizza slice + Caesar salad, no drink) and added the chicken sandwich with fries. (Fries were only $1 add on!) Starting with the chicken, flavor was solid. Chicken was seasoned and the hoagie was legit. But the lettuce comes ranch-tossed like it's training for a swimming event. It tastes good but if you wait too long to eat it, the bread starts turning into a sponge and the sandwich becomes more "salad in loaf form." The Cane's-clone sauce was 100% needed--once I added it, everything clicked. Now the fries were cooked well done, crispy, and exactly the texture I like. They were just a touch dry, so ketchup wasn't a suggestion--it was a requirement. With ketchup, they're great. The real value winner was the pizza + ceasar. The slice is big and absolutely worth the $10 on size alone. Also: A+ pepperoni choice. They use those small cupping pepperonis (Grimaldi's style) instead of the big greasy ones, and I respect that decision deeply. Only downside: the center was slightly undercooked--that gooey middle happened on a few bites, and I'm not a "wet pizza" person. The salad was fresh and the dressing had great flavor and depth, the croutons felt home made and the whole situation, even portion size, was enjoyable. Would I come back? Yeah. I'd give it another shot because the bones are good and the price is right. Next time I'm ordering the sandwich no tomato and no ranch-tossed lettuce, so I can control the sauce per bite instead of letting it control me. Also worth noting: I signed up for their rewards program and got $10 off, bringing my total to $15--which made this whole lunch feel like a small financial victory with gas at $5 a gallon!

I go here often as I am sick and tired of the fast food options for people who work in this area. 9…read moretimes out of 10 the chicken is on point. You have to be careful as it can taste as the cook didn't clean the grill in between batches of chicken. I usually go for the golden brown ones. The guy who is usually there is always nice and welcoming. The salsa has always tasted good and they keep it refrigerated. The only thing that keeps me from giving them a 5 star is the rice and beans. I dont care for them at all.

Chicken is awesome. That is where the awesome stops. Went in to order their 2 chicken meal deal…read morewhich was supposed to come with rice, beans, tortillas, and salsa. Order taker argued that they do not have that deal any longer. Told him it is still advertised he said he doesn't care and the manager is not in. Ended up getting two chickens, corn tortillas, and one 4 oz side of beans. They threw in a 2 liter bottle of soda. Went to get the salsa and the guy says one salsa per chicken. The salsa comes in the small one ounce containers. We try to eat at and tell our friends about local establishments, but we don't appreciate getting the old bait and switch. Unfortunately for Mo's we were there for two reasons. One to get our Sunday dinner and the other to possibly add it to our list of restaurants we use regularly for corporate staff lunches. This will not be happening because of the poor customer service and false advertising.
