This restaurant is quite unassuming from the road but it packs a beautiful crafted dinner with excellent service and good prices. I highly recommend this restaurant I was completely surprised at how good the food was. read more

This place is a hidden gem. The owner is the sweetest lady from Thailand who moved here with her husband 10 years ago. You walk in and they always greet you and come out to check in. Best Thai food in Arizona hands down. If you're driving through or live in Payson you must stop by! Amazing food and great/quick service! read more

DO NOT MISS THIS HIDDEN GEM! If you are driving through Payson on the Bee Line Highway, do yourself a favor and stop at Chinese Thai Cuisine. This place is worth going out of your way for. I came to payson to visit my 75 year old father who suggested to eat at this small establishment. I live in San Diego and eat out frequently in Los Angeles, and I can confidently say this was one of the best and most authentic Thai food experiences I've ever had. The quality, flavors, and execution were exceptional. The pad Thai was phenomenal not the typical overly sour or watered-down version you find at most places, but the authentic, slightly sweeter regional Thai style. The balance of flavors was perfect and incredibly addictive. My 4 year old son almost finished the full size adult plate. The spring rolls were amazing plump, crispy, and reminded me of perfectly fried lumpia filled with meat and glass noodles. They were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The batter on the orange chicken was easily some of the best I've ever had. The batter was unbelievably light and delicately airy, yet delivered the crispiest crunch with every bite. It wasn't greasy or heavy just perfectly fried. The tom kha soup had incredible depth and complexity. It was creamy and aromatic without being overly heavy on the coconut milk, allowing the authentic Thai flavors and lemongrass to really shine through. The kung pao was also outstanding. The vegetable selection was fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and the spice level built in a way that kept you wanting more. Paired with the Thai iced tea which was sweet and rich, created the perfect balance. The sweetness of the tea mellowed the spice just enough, but the flavors were so addicting you couldn't stop eating. What truly makes Chinese Thai Cuisine special is Mama -- the owner and chef herself -- personally cooking and overseeing the food. That level of care, pride, and authenticity is rare and speaks volumes. You can taste the difference when the owner is in the kitchen making sure every dish is perfect. This is hands down some of the best Thai food and Chinese Thai fusion food you will find in Arizona. Authentic, flavorful, and unforgettable. If you are in Payson, traveling through Northern Arizona, or driving the Bee Line Highway, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. Yes unfortunately we began to eat and some plates were finished. I didn't come in with intentions on writing a review but wanted to take the time to let everyone know why this place is a must! I will be thinking about this meal for a long time. read more

Ok. I have to admit what I've done. Judge how you will. I discovered them and leaned of the absolute love for custom orders....I'm guessing since they crushed mine every time to perfection. I may have ordered delivery twice a day for a bit once I found them. Take that for what it is: loyalty to the small family business who just gets it right. read more

WOW! Amazing Thai food! Stopped here on my way back to Phx and it's one of the best Pad Thai I've had! Generous Portions of all the ingredients! Would definitely recommend to stop by here if in Payton! read more

We are major Thai food connoisseurs and come up from the valley often. This spot had incredible Thai food that genuinely was better than any we've had in Arizona or beyond, and I wish I was joking. We got the red curry and tom kha gai with chicken, both exceptional, 10/10. We picked up to go and it travelled well. Highly recommend and we will be back with every visit. read more

I love this restaurant, super welcoming owner, food is excellent, always a good dining experience. Both the Chinese and Thai foods are amazing! read more

Had the K P chicken it was delicious and the vegetables were crunchy and tasty. The wife had yellow curry and she enjoyed it. Finished with a dessert of sticky rice and mango. We're coming back!!! read more

I want to say EVERYONE needs to come here to eat Nela is the owner she told us how she had to come here from Thailand after someone in her family passed she came and helped so when you say it's authentic it is seriously some of the best Thai food I have had in Arizona. We ordered family style got the beef fried rice, green curry, egg drop soup, Lo mein, King pao, drunken noodles, mango and sticky rice, and a Thai iced tea. She said she gets a little lonely and it doesn't get super busy because of the location it's a classic hole in the wall the vibes in there are too cute! Please visit nela and order literally anything you'll love it and she will literally make you feel like you're family! It should be packed with a waitlist. When we first stepped in she said welcome home and we had never been there read more

Today was my second time eating at this restaurant, and it was great. The food is excellent, and prices are very fair. What has impressed me both times, is that the owner is out on the dining room floor, speaking with customers. this type of personalized attention is seldom seen anymore, and my brother and I really enjoyed conversing with her. the ambience is calming and relaxing, and I look forward to returning and trying a new dish next time. our server was awesome, answering all of our questions with a constant smile, and was very friendly, courteous, and professional. excellent experience overall. read more

The food was fantastic, the service was great, and the place is very clean. It has a relaxed vibe that we enjoy in locally owned gems like this. read more

I love this restaurant, it's one of the main reasons I love to come to Payson. The tempura vegetable app is so freaking good. All of their ingredients are high quality and fresh. This family owned and operated restaurant is a real gem of the Mogollon Rim. I can't recommend this place enough. If you eat here once you'll be back again and again. read more

Amazing food, some of the best Thai food I've had. This place was a terrific find for us on vacation.

Our favorite Thai restaurant in AZ. Great food and service. The Tom Yum is the best we've had.

Stopped here on our trip to Christopher Creek. Amazing food and the owner was super nice and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

very good, no wait time, everyone, especially Nela, was super nice and helpful! I had the chicken pad thai and hubs had the broccoli beef and thai iced tea. We will definitely be back a lot. fyi, not opened on Wednesday. read more

We were in Payson for the weekend and found this hidden little gem. First off the server (could've been owner) Was hilarious and the service was great!! The food was surprisingly excellent. We did several dishes and shared. Kung Pow chicken, shrimp fried rice, sweet and sour chicken and yellow chicken curry, egg rolls and Thai tea. Everything was excellent. The portions were great for sharing. The yellow curry was so good I keep thinking about it! Warning the tea is so good but don't over drink it you might be pacing the floors at 2am asking yourself why did I drink so much. Check it out and enjoy! read more

The other Thai place in town rubbed me the wrong way with some other dishes that are made very different from what I anticipate. Normally when you go to a Thai restaurant, the food is pretty traditional for certain dishes. However, this one is very nice with the service, which can be friendly unless you're on a date and they kick you out and tell you they're closing and then they stay open... But when my son and I went there, everything was good except when I ordered dessert, the check was brought to me and I was like I have not even received my dessert. They might not be in such a hurry to get people out when most of the tables are empty. And they may consider making more two tops and four tops and eliminating the big tables in the middle read more

Passing thru Payson on the way back to the valley of the sun? Be sure to stop at this restaurant. It has excellent Chinese food. My mouth is watering right now at the thought of it. Thai food I do not eat due to the fact my mouth can't handle spicy foods. I would imagine it to be excellent as well. I really like the owner. She is a sweet person. The water was nice also. It would be worth while to save your appetite & stop in this restaurant. Mary read more

Food is so delicious . It is always fresh and the best tasting in Payson and anywhere I have ever had in my life. The owner/Chef will customize if you like but you can order as reflected on menu and you won't be disappointed. The mango sticky rice dessert has the sweetest mangoes I ever had in my life. Every entree I have tried is incredible, I can't pick a favorite they are all so good. The restaurant is always clean and comfortable. The art work on the walls is interesting and enjoyable to look at while waiting for your food. The staff however is prompt and friendly. read more

I ordered the pot stickers and they were good with the sauce. This is a hole in the wall place but overall I would go back to try there orange chicken. read more

Tried this place for the first time and it was DELICIOUS. We loved everything we ordered. The service was super fast and everyone was very nice! We got the crab rangoons, general tso chicken, mongolian beef, lo mein and fried rice. The thai tea was delicious too. Definitely worth a try and we will be back! read more

me and my husband moved from California to Payson and I have to say this is the BEST place to get Thai Food that is comparable to our beloved Thai Spoons back in Sunnyvale. We were sad to think we may not have good Thai food in such a small town but WE ARE SO HAPPY to have found this place!! The owner is a lovely lady that is always so sweet! If she has time, she will come over and greet you and aask if you liked the food and give great suggestions for what to try if you're not sure. she truly makes you feel loved because she wants you to EAT GOOD! everything we have tried so far is so AMAZING. ALL of the curries are but our personal favorite has to be the yellow, panang, and green curry! We also really love the egg drop soup which is a wonderful starter or to go soup to have at home just to finish you off. For dessert I really love the thai tea. I had never tried thai tea before but the owner suggested it as she said "it's really good, you should try!" So I did and I was PLEASANTLY surprised. I take one to go as I am lactose intolerant and would rather use my lactose free milk at home to mix it. This is. MUST TRY THAI FOOD SPOT! BEST one in town! You will NOT be disappointed!

We were just passing through and we were looking for some good Chinese. We will definitely dine here again if we ever make it back. Amazing food. Fast and friendly service. Loved the atmosphere too. read more

Had a craving for Chinese food after watching cooking videos, so I stopped by. Broccoli beef was tasty, as were the egg rolls. Pretty good chance I'll be back in if I'm in Payson much in the future. Looking at other reviews, this is a rural small town Thai and Chinese restaurant in a strip mall. Is it the best Chinese I've ever had? No, but it's a solid and tasty option that I'm glad I stopped in at. read more

I haven't gotten my food yet but just based on service and accommodation I would give this place a 5. We are vegetarians and even though they don't have it on the menu they can make everything with tofu. Just fyi for those of you using the search feature for "tofu" or "vegetarian" like I do. They are really nice to kids too! read more

We felt so welcome that it was like having Thai food with our good friends from Thailand. Food was authentic, delicious and we were very satisfied with the entire experience. Definitely will be returning. read more

The options in Payson are limited and when we want to go out we tend to head up to Pine, but we discovered this gem this summer and have been a few times already. They are very accommodating and go over and beyond for their service. We have a wide range of food restrictions (allergies and such) and they were able to deliver on the food and experience. Highly recommended if in the area. From the outside it doesn't look like much, but don't let that deter you from a great experience read more

Best Thai food! We were very fortunate to have stumbled on this place years ago, and we've been hooked ever since. Everything we've tried has been amazing and the spicy beef salad will rock your world! read more

Forget W & Z, forget Thai Station, forget whatever you thought "Thai" meant at K Sauce--this little strip-mall gem on Beeline Hwy beats them all, hands-down. The pad thai is tamarind-bright and smoky from the wok, the green curry carries real galangal heat if you request it, and the crab rangoons are the crackly, creamy gold standard. Portions are generous, prices are gentle, and the family running the place greets every regular by name. Yes, the location is tucked away in a strip mail away from the crowds, and the dining room won't win design awards, but that just keeps the crowds (and the wait times) mercifully small. Do yourself a favor--ignore the odd address and give it a shot. Your Thai-loving taste buds will thank you. read more

Amazing food, great ambiance. The staff are fantastic and treated us very well. Highly recommend the pad see ewe.

Good food and great service. Clean, comfortable and no waiting. Entire party was very impressed.

What a local gem! The owner is so sweet and accommodating. She loves kids and makes them feel so special. None of this would matter if the food wasn't delicious, but it is. We love the drunken noodles, the curry, and the fried wonton strips. Will definitely be coming back here whenever we are in town. read more
