We were unimpressed. First, we've had Pad See Ew in many different restaurants over the years and they've all been generally similar. At Mountain Thai it was strange. Good enough to eat but did not look nor taste like Pad See Ew. We also got mango sticky rice. The rice was still semi-hard (undercooked). The taste and mangos were fine. We let the mango sticky rice sit and soak in the fridge for another day to let the rice soak the syrup and become softer before we ate it. We ordered these take-out which is why we didn't discover the food quality at the restaurant. Our friends and their two kids where also with us and they said what they ordered also disappointed. There are positive reviews for this place. Did we come at an odd time, did they change who's preparing the food in the kitchen, or was there some reason our food was strange and different from Thai? read more

Joe and his staff are very friendly! My son loves the Massaman curry with jasmine rice. We usually order food to go but they have a nice dining room and an outdoor seating area. read more

As a northern Thai connoisseur for 45 years, I was surprised to find a good Thai restaurant in Showlow. The service was excellent! We ordered the Larb beef and while it was a little different than what I'm used to it was delicious. We also ordered the Chicken Satay, and Massaman and they were good as well. We'll be back! The most appreciative thing was the Thai tea with cream was in a large glass unlike most Thai restaurants who serve it in a tall, slender glass and charge too much! Add: if you have not, tried the dessert rice and mango do not miss it! It is absolutely homemade and delicious! read more

Food here was amazing, authentic and sooo delicious!! It was a warm, cozy dining area with good music playing and some nice decor. Service was good too. I sure loved the egg rolls however they need to update their drinks in the fridge. We were given expired juice but I'm still giving them 5 stars because the food was that good and we will definitely be returning on our next visit. read more

Had a great Valentines Day lunch at Mountain Thai. The food was really good and the service was excellent. The Mango Sticky Rice is our favorite. read more

I stopped by Mountain Thai, after the recommendation from a friend, when I was in Show Low a couple of months ago. I went to the counter, ordered my meal and then decided on a Thai Iced Tea. The person behind the counter went over to the ice machine/drink station and started filling my cup up with ice and then dropped the ice scoop on the floor. He picked it right back up and kept scooping my ice for my tea. If they are that filthy in front of you I can imagine how bad it is in the back. I won't be going back here. read more

We had high hopes coming here. Unfortunately the service was awful. The food was mediocre at best and the kitchen didn't seem to get their act together. I had ordered a chicken dish and waited for almost 30 minutes until I was told they were out of it. I highly recommend steering clear from here and spend your money elsewhere. read more

Quiet Thai restaurant in the White mountains. Had never been here before. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the meal. Would certainly return again. read more

Wow! Americanized o my slightly. Spicy was very mild (to me). But this food was delicious! I spent a couple months in Thailand, and this is very good farang food!! The staff, family owned and operated, Are fabulous! Grandma, raised in Thailand, actually does the cooking!! This is a must stop by if you like Asian foods. Prices are comparable to Asian restaurants in this area and very worth it. The menus is very diverse and most dishes have options of meats or tofu. They even have a small variety of wines. I had the sake warmed and it was smooth! I HIGHLY recommend and I know we will be returning. Service dog friendly! read more

Omelet is good everything else is bland. service was horrible waiters did not care at all and owner didn't even give us a bill just took are card and tried to charge it then when it declined because my funds did not transfer because he gave us no bill yet they all got in a group and started stating at us a talking because we asked for a bill. after we played we gave no tip they have no manners and no worker cares to be there read more

We ordered the Summer Rolls with shrimp. They were served with peanut sauce and were outstanding. Then we had the Pho with beef. Broth was flavorful and the bowl was a heaping size plenty for two. The number thirty on the menu was a curry that was spicy. This was the best I've had in years. Will keep coming back again and again. Restaurant was busy with a steady stream of locals and visitors up to ski with the recent snow. read more

We have literally tried, on at least five different occasions, to come to this restaurant during its advertised business hours. It is NEVER open. Seriously? Why have a restaurant at all, it's ridiculous. Won't even bother trying again. We live 40 minutes away. Thankfully there are plenty of other good food options nearby. read more

Wasn't great. Not sure if was just an off day. Looks like they are hurting for help. I feel bad posting a negative review for a small business but this Thai was not good read more

This was our first visit to Mountain Thai. We passed it numerous times and always talked about trying it but somehow never made it because it's on the way toward Pinetop-Lakeside. We were greeted, shown to a table by the window and given menus. We love Thai but the reviews were all over the place. Luckily, as we were assessing the inside and wondering how it would be, when the table next to us got up. They mentioned being stuffed and mouths burning. I said I hope it was worth it. They said definitely, that the food was delicious and that they loved the red curry but everything was good. That made us relax a bit. I always get chicken yellow curry at first and hubs gets Pad Thai. Food came out and it was good. The curry was definitely spicy with the sweet overtone. The Pad Thai was very mild with not as much tamarind as my husband liked. They have mango sweet rice but we were too full to try it. It's definitely worth coming to Mountain Thai. Service is very good and food is too. Next time, we will try other items. read more

The food here is really good. We also like that it was something completely different here on the mountain. I always enjoy a mom and pop restaurant and this is definitely one of those places. read more

Ordered Take Out on A Sunday Night- Green Curry/Spicy-Fabulous Summer Rolls Didn't Fall Apart When We Ate Them and the Peanut Sauce was the Perfect Accompaniment. Tom Yum had Lovely Fresh Veggies.. been coming here for years and love it everytime. Joe the owner runs the front and while it may be unorthodox, it's what brings us back.. the realness of a couple making it all happen read more

My wife and I visited here last night. I have been to Thailand on several occasions and have been to several different provinces in Thailand and eaten the local foods there. So, here is my honest opinion: The food here is very good. The service is very good as well. It is not gourmet, nor is it Americanized very much, but it IS authentic. I have read several reviews here and IMHO these people were expecting something that this place just doesn't do. A show. The food here is GENUINE Thai food brought here from a small province in THAILAND. It is owned and operated by a local family as a local business. The food is great, the atmosphere is good and the wait staff is very good. It is NOT a 5 star restaurant, nor does it try to be. It is just great food at great prices, with good sized portions, cooked while you wait, fresh, in a style from a small province in Thailand. My wife and I were looking for a nice quiet place to have a nice dinner together, and enjoy each others company. Mountain Thai does not disappoint! My wife and I will ABSOLUTELY come back!!! read more

The restaurant was quiet when we went in for dinner at the weekend, we were the third table in there. Service was good, above par. I would say. I requested the "Pad See Yu" with chicken, Thai hot. When I got it, all the ingredients were correct, it tasted good, but it was nowhere near hot enough. I spent 20 years working closely with Thais and love their food, additionally, growing up in Britain, I ate a lot of hot curries as a kid. Likely not their fault, the American pallet doesn't generally like things quite as hot as I do. I told them next time I come in, make it like they're making it for a Thai friend that likes things hot. They agreed to accommodate me. On this visit, they did provide their spice tray, with Chili's, chili oil, etc... I was able to spice up my meal to the degree that I enjoyed. Fast, friendly service, and good food. Just make sure if you like it really spicy. You make that very very clear to them. Will definitely go back read more

To be fair, this would likely be a 3 star in a larger metro area. But, it's easily one of the better places at all food types in Lakeside. Going in I felt a bit uncertain- many tables inside the restaurant were upended or being used for storage. The man who greeted us didn't seem very interested for us to eat in, but we persevered since a few other folks were dining in as well. Ended up on the small patio since the weather was so nice. Started with summer rolls. They were a delightful surprise; while pricey at $12.95 they were incredibly fresh and flavorful. Then, moved on to the Tom Ka. It was overly sweet, but the vegetables were cooked nicely and the broth was flavorful. A bit of hot Chile sauce added in and it was quite yummy. My dining companion's green curry was similarly sweet but still good. I'd try this place again for sure. read more

We came here from out of town and all thought the service and food were awesome! The owners were so friendly and accommodating.

Small, family run place. Great service. They go to Thailand every year to get all of their spices, and they have a little garden off the patio. The Mai Thai and coconut curry are my favorite. read more

Visiting the area and thought wedding try Thai and very happy we did. Food was delicious, prices reasonable.

I'm going to give Mountain Thai five star's. My wife and I had the Cucumber salad and green curry chicken. It was a fun experience and the couple that runs the place were so nice, and the food was great. If you are expecting Phoenix five stars here in the mountains then you will be disappointed. However, here in the mountains of Arizona, three hours from a Phoenix-type city this is great food. The flavors will smack your pallet and say "wake up ". The flavors are bright, creamy and really hit the spot. The restaurant is clean, and the wait staff were attentive and polite. We throughly enjoyed the mountains , and throughly enjoyed this Thai cuisine. Please consider stopping by, have a seat and have fun, relax and enjoy. read more

Freshly made food with good ingredients. Is it authentic? Not exactly, but the dishes are delicious for sure. It took 30 minutes for the pad Thai and tofu to be ready as there weren't many staff working. I believe it's just the owners and 1 kitchen staff. Knowing how uncertain the COVID19 situation is I totally understand they can keep too many employees around. The good news is beer is cheap and you can enjoy a few while waiting. read more

We ordered the summer rolls with shrimp, Tom ka gai soup, drunken noodles, and pangeng curry. It was all delicious and we will be back. There were four of us and we all liked the food. I will say the dishes were labeled as spicy but we felt that should've been spicier. We weren't really asked what level spiciness we wanted. Service was a little slow at first but then improved. Overall a good experience. We are on the porch and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Oh and we ended up ordering mango sticky rice for dessert. YUM!!! We will be back! read more

Beat Thai in the White Mnts? I have to think that's because they are the only Thai food in the White Mtns. II consider myself a bit of a Thai food junkie and I have to say that if this is the best, then maybe they need some competition. After spending almost $100 on dinner for 4 we Had to beg for 3 small containers of sweet chili and 3 packets of soy sauce. The rice was horribly over cooked and the Massaman Curry was pitiful. The guy that answered the phone had some pretty bad customer interaction skills then we met him and that lack of skills were evident. I will not share all of my feelings, but suffice to say I would avoid this place and go to Panda Express like my wife asked me to do in the first place. read more

Pleasant surprise on the mountain! Arrived at 7:45pm just before closing and we were greeted with smiles and welcomed even though closing was in 15 minutes. Food was very good.... nice different variations. Tom yum goong soup was great. Summer rolls with shrimp and loved the Pad wood sen too. Not the best Thai ever, but, nice surprise in White Mountains. read more

Wife and I had been wanting to stop and finally did. We just moved here and had a few Thai places from home we liked. We split the Pho and the extra spicy red curry. The pho wasnt too bad really! The broth was flavorful. Good portion. It comes with side dish of bean sprouts and lime/jalapeño. We opted for beef. It was a little chewy but overall good. The curry dish was phenomenal! Super spicy! I liked it better than the places in the valley we are used to! We got it with deep fried tofu. The tofu was fantastic. Decent curry to rice portion. Could of had a little more rice. Can't wait to try more! read more

I don't do this often at all but here goes. Not a fan because I prefer my Thai authentic. Service is not friendly and not on time. That being said the flavor was good and if you ask for spicy they actually do it. I got a soup and a curry (green but it's actually brown) and a noodle dish and I'm not terribly impressed but in a pinch I would go again. read more

Absolutely the worst food and service in my entire life of dining out!! There was only one man working, I think he prepared the food too...

Food was good.. I have had takeout there and it was good. I also have had dinner with hot tea and the service was good.

What a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!! We've been waiting for Mountain Thai to open. First impression through the door was, what a dump and it only goes down from there. It's run by an older couple who shouldn't even be working in the service industry, let alone owning a restaurant. There was one other family in the joint, so we found one clean table and sat down. It took 15 minutes to get our drinks. A soda and a very cold glass of red wine. Ha! Who'da thought, cold red wine. I've never had Thai food before, but I thought that Thai Lo Mein would be similar to Chinese Lo Mein. Nope Angel hair pasta in a watery, smelly, dirty dishwater broth. Yeah, I said smelly. If you close you're eyes, it smells like a Wilson's Leather store, which is good. But when you open your eyes and see the smell coming from a plate noodles, it means I won't be going back. Really, it's a dump. No reason they can't clean the place up not to look like a homeless soup kitchen. read more

I took my family of 5 to Mountain Thai and did not leave disappointed! Absolutely hands down delicious! I forgot to take a pic of our appetizers: Spring rolls, egg rolls and fried tofu were the best I have had in a long time! We ordered pho and the duck entree and bq pork and they were all so fresh and full of flavor! If you are in Lakeside, AZ please stop by Mountain Thai! read more

I've eaten here a half dozen times over the years and I can definitely say I'm done. I had traditional Pad Thai w chicken on Thursday and found it to be inedible. The noodles congealed into a wad at the bottom and sucked up all the sauce ( which was WAY too sweet). The few veggies in the dish were straight out of a Shamrock frozen "Asian mix" bag. Way overcooked broccoli and flaccid crinkle cut carrots. The addition of stinky bean sprouts was enough to make me take one sniff and pitch the whole thing in the trash. Just don't think they care anymore. read more
