    Kao Soi
    Nimish M.

    Kao Soi was a bit too sweet for me but I could tell they have a solid curry paste down. My perfect version would have different ratios but this one's pretty damn good. This was the first time I tried Kua Kling and it definitely won't be the last. It's got a really great spicy kick that pairs well with the lime leaves and lemongrass. It's like Pad Kra Pao's unappreciated cousin. The thai tea is alright here but overwhelmingly sweet. There's a couple of little things like the rice being slightly overcooked that make me want to try their other location to see if the quality control is better there, because the recipes seem promising.

    Ohhhhhh myyyyy tastebuds!!!!!! I'm gonna start with the crab fried rice. 10/10!!!! It was excellent, fresh, flavorful and had actual crabmeat throughout and on top. No additional sauce or spice needed. However, a portion of it I did put the chili oil and it was aromatic and oh so yummy. Next was the appetizers of the mushroom and the fried chicken. The mushrooms were more flavorful for me and I went with smedium heat level and my mouth was on fire! lol! The fried chicken wings were good, but not as wow as it's been raved about. This was my first time trying Thai tea and it was refreshing, light and not too sweet. I enjoyed it. To finish things up, I had the mango sticky rice (in my hotel). Another great treat to wrap up the meal. Jay, the server, bartender and all the roles he played to help out the team, was AMAZING! He was incredibly kind and made suggestions that I went with and I can't wait to go back. Definitely a cute sport for solo, dates or large gatherings. Check them out and enjoy!

    5/5 for food 2/5 for speed 5/5 for vibe 3/5 for drinks LeDu is easily one of my top Thai spots. Great for takeout, but also such a cute date night place. This is where you go for a cute, slightly elevated dinner vibe. Gentlemen, this is a safe win. I usually don't touch the appetizer menu and just get a noodle dish as my "starter," but this time we switched it up. We got the Som dtam plara Los style and the Happy Tiger. The som dtam was a little too fishy for me personally, but everyone else at the table loved it. Happy Tiger was good. Nothing crazy, just exactly what the menu says, NY steak. For entrees, I always go for the pad zee u. I love a thick noodle moment, and theirs is so good. It's super garlicky, soy saucey, just hits every time. I get it with fried tofu and it's perfect. Another must is the gaeng panang curry, which is probably their most popular dish for a reason. It's sooo good. One of the best curries in the Valley. The short rib is insanely tender and just soaks up all the flavor. You will not want to share it. Service is really the only downside. If you go during peak hours, just be ready to wait. They seem a little understaffed when it's packed. One time we waited about 45 minutes for food. But they did acknowledge it and made it right, which I appreciated. Every other time, it's been pretty normal timing. Overall this is a great pick. ENJOY!

    I showed up to have a late lunch at around 2pm. There were only a couple more diners inside and no one dining al fresco. Service was attentive and the staff was very nice. The inside of the restaurant was super cute and painted in a vibrant green - it feels cheerful and chill and kind of tropical inside. I started with the pork larb Thai style and it hit the spot. The minty chili lime flavor was spot on. It wasn't too tart and I requested mild spice level, just in case LeDu's idea of mild might taste like a strong medium to me. Larb is a great cold appetizer and made exactly the way I expected. Then my papaya salad arrived, this dish also had the right amount of chili lime flavor with crisp papayas and long beans. The wings were overcooked and a little on the dry side. They were unseasoned and definitely needed the dipping sauce. I love chicken wings, so I'd give this another try. My table had a card on the table advertising their drinks and desserts. I saw Thai tea custard and my interest was piqued. I love Thai tea and I love custard, this will be a double win. It was not a double win. The dessert was not in custard form, I could have eaten it like soup. The toast was nice and buttery, but I wouldn't order it again. The way it was served intrigued me, but there wasn't anything else about it to keep me interested. I'll just keep drinking my Thai teas with dinner and skip the custard. I enjoyed my lunch here and would return. It had been recommended to me by a Thai person, and overall, happy with my appetizers.

    My dining experience at LeDu Thai was great. I ordered the Magic Noodle salad from the appetizer menu and the Mango Charm dessert, and both were delicious. The Magic Noodle salad was colorful and fresh, but the coolest part is that it literally turns purple when you pour the dressing on top that's why it's called "magic" noodle. It was a fun touch. The noodle salad vinaigrette reminded me a lot of Vietnamese nuoc cham: bright, tangy, slightly savory, spicy and it paired perfectly with the noodles and fresh vegetables. The Mango Charm dessert was light and refreshing, not overly sweet, which I really appreciated. It's basically ice cream with fresh mangoes. It came out a Tuesday evening and it was very busy. The service was great. The servers were very attentive. The ambience was kinda cool. It was a trendy dark and enchanting vibe - something different for a Thai restaurant located near Roosevelt Row. Great food, beautiful food presentation, and an overall good vibe. I'll definitely be back maybe during happy hour.

    This place is the ultimate vibe. I absolutely loved the ambiance. I ended up ordering the Coconut Sunset which was my type of adult beverage because I didn't even taste the alcohol. My friend and I ordered the Pla Goong Salad which was delicious. In addition, we shared the crab fried rice and crabmeat turmeric dishes . They did ask us what spice level we wanted which we opted for mild lol. The food was full of flavor and we cleaned our plates. This is a great spot and an even better one for a date night. I can't wait to come back.

    Went here for Valentine's Day with my girlfriends and it was great! We even got a cute little spot in the back that felt secluded from everyone else, which made it feel extra fancy! The ambiance is perfect, with dim lighting, music playing, and a plant filled vibe that makes the whole place feel cozy and aesthetic. The food was delicious. My favorite was definitely the magic noodles. They pour this sauce on top that changes the noodles from blue to pink! Not only was the color change so fun, but the quality of the dish was perfection. We also got the steak appetizer and it was delicious. The dipping sauce was amazing, and the price was super reasonable too. Unfortunately, I didn't particularly enjoy the entrées, but that was more of a personal preference. I don't usually like coconut flavored dishes, but all my friends really enjoyed theirs and I could tell by the quality that it was a well made dish. I also got a mocktail and it was delicious, it tasted like a piña colada! The service was very polite but unfortunately not very attentive. At one point we were waiting a long time after our entrée because we really wanted dessert, and by the time the server came back, the dessert we wanted was sold out. It may have already been sold out, but it's hard to say. To be fair, it was Valentine's Day, so I completely understand that it was probably just a very busy night. Overall, I would definitely go back!

    This is my second time here but was still such an enjoyable experience! I came for a date night and was not disappointed. We were seated very fast, the server and hostess were super kind and friendly. For food we ordered: Pad Z U 19$ Kra Pao 19$ Larb Mushroom 10$ The portions were really good and were very filling! Drinks: Singha Beer 7$ Passionfruit Fizz 9$ We went during happy hour so the appetizer and Passionfruit Fizz were smaller priced. Food came out very fast and it genuinely is the best Pad See ew i have ever had. I adored the ambience, the lights were dimmed around 5:30/6 and it really transported you to a Thai destination. The decor was so fun to look at during the dining experience as well.

    I come here one a year when I'm in the area for a work conference, I always look forward to getting a meal at LeDu Thai. The location is extremely walkable if you are staying at a hotel downtown, I can't speak to parking since I've never driven there. There is table or bar service, and a cute patio. The staff is always friendly and attentive. The cocktails here are excellent. The espresso martini is top notch! They have great happy hour options for food and cocktails. We ordered a beautiful spread of appetizers. The flavors at LeDu Thai are so delicious, perfectly balanced with spice and flavor. We got medium hot which was nice and warm, with Thai hot chili oil on the side. The Larb Pork and Larb Mushroom is exploding with flavor, truly unreal dishes! I love this place and look forward to eating here every year!

    This experience at this beautiful restaurant was top tier! If you are ever in the Downtown Phoenix, AZ area you have to go to LeDu Thai. Awesome ambience, excellent service Jo our waiter was the best ever. The food was delicious and their drink selection was excellent. So, everything on the menu is great but these are the items we order that were superb! The drinks I forgot the names but I'll post the picture, appetizer was the NY Strip with sauce, main course was pork pad Thai, shrimp pad Thai, and the crab fried rice! Awesome you have to go and tell them that I highly recommended this restaurant! Enjoy Bon appetite

    "Ghosted" cocktail and crab fried rice
    Adrienne C.

    We arrived and were seated (we had a 5:30 reservation on a Saturday). We received water then no one ever came to take our order. Our server walked past several times, apologized twice and said he'd be right with us. He still never made it back to our table. Another server was walking around and any time I tried to get her attention, she'd look away. We wound up leaving without having any food after waiting approximately 25 minutes. It sucks because I really loved the food here and wanted my mom to try it so I brought her for her birthday. We had to walk around downtown until we found something else.

    Pad thai (beef, no bean sprouts)
    Caroline N.

    My gal pal and I were craving delicious Thai food and visited LeDu Thai on a Sunday evening after she got off work. Parking downtown in general sucks, but there are curbside options available nearby. Upon entering, I was impressed by the decadent interior with low-lighting, cultural elements, and stunning green walls. The restaurant was surprisingly not busy despite being a weekend night, maybe because it was close to closing time. We were seated immediately. I opted for my usual Thai restaurant order of the pad thai, with beef, mild, no beansprouts. My gal pal opted for the crab -fried rice, opposed to her usual order of some curry. The crab-fried rice came out first, and while it was a large portion size perfect for sharing and generous with the crab, I felt like it was tastey but lacking in extra dimension. I also noticed it didn't come with the usual tomato wedges I've seen at other institutions. Then, I tried my own pad thai. IT WAS THE BEST PAD THAI I'VE HAD IN A WHILE. Usually I find that restaurants are lazy and skimp out on the tangy-tamarind flavor and instead just let it be sweet, but the taste was perfectly balanced to me. The noodles were adequately sauced and flavorful. There was generous amounts of beef. There was even tofu on the side. Phenomenal and absolutely hit the spot. Then we tried the cha-thai gelato. It was also so good in both thai tea flavor and gelato texture and lastly portion size vs cost. Overall amazing but reasonably-priced upscale Thai restaurant that I would definitely return to, especially for intimate date-night vibes.

    Is the patio dog friendly?

    Hi April...I did not see any signs that said it wasn't but a quick phone call will answer that question for you. I will say it would be a nice patio to have your fur baby with you :)

    Are vegetarian options available?

    Yes. Most dishes are naturally vegetarian, you pay more for meat to be added.

It was busy, but not packed, which made the service stand out more than it should have. I had to ask for water twice, never got a refill, and overall felt largely ignored--minimal eye contact, no real warmth, just an impersonal feel that didn't match the space. It felt like a place that may be a bit of a victim of its own success--popularity has grown, but delivery hasn't fully kept pace. Part of the appeal here is the permanent taco truck outside, which I know from past visits is excellent, and I love the truck's outspoken, unapologetic support for immigrants. That said, the cocktail itself was excellent. I was specifically looking for a coffee-based drink before heading to another event, and the Cambures al Estilo Foster delivered on flavor. It was tiny, though--served in a small stemmed glass, gone in a few sips. It did the job, but some may find the portion underwhelming for the price. No major complaints, but nothing pulling me back either. I'm adding a fourth star on a bit of a hunch--I'd like to think they can dial it back in if I return.

My party and I had a reservation on a Saturday night at 9pm (when it's 13 people, what can you do). What kind of sucked though (and mainly why I'm deducting a star) is that we did wait an additional half hour to be seated after our reservation time. Our theory is that they didn't think the entire party would actually arrive, and they were not ready to accommodate us. To be fair, the restaurant IS on the smaller side, but there was 0 communication during that half hour on what was going on... which isn't really good for us either. We got the original set, and this somewhat confused me as well. The food was really good, and was definitely a restaurant that I'd go to for the experience, but for some reason some of the meats were doubled while others weren't. The double portions were really nice since our party was so large, we needed to split the food between 4 different grills (so each table got 2 grills each, feeding 6-7 people in total or 3-4 people per grill), but then we had to share the portions where we only got one serving. It wasn't bad, but to me, didn't make sense. The food was really good though; I didn't care too much about the soup, but the green sauce was SO good. Mixing a little with the soup was incredible. I thought the beef and pork were really good. I personally left the restaurant full, but many others in my party did not. I think it's a really good amount of food for 2 people, but when you push to 3+, you probably do not want to come hungry. Also--the live music at Pemberton next door is SO LOUD, you're going to be shouting at your table the entire night when you sit outside. I think I would come back if I wanted to show this place to someone who didn't live here, but it isn't on the top of my list for when I'm trying to eat out, but I will definitely consider this for special date night occasions. It is extremely expensive for what it is though. For $70+ you risk the chance of leaving not full which SUCKS.
