TERRIBLE THAI that's TOTALLY TASTELESS! Service sucked too. Pad Thai was watery and tasteless as was the peanut sauce. Was overcharged $20.00. One plate of food, no alcohol, 1 appetizer and one Thai ice tea for 50$?? No attempt at compensation was made when the Pad Thai was sent back. Water glasses usually empty and ice-less. Waitress piled an empty plate on top of food that wasn't finished yet. Yellow curry was passable. Wouldn't recommend it to anybody. read more

Came here with 5 adults and 2 toddlers. Service and food were outstanding. They made it comfortable for the kids immediately, and a few of us were grumpy/hungry after searching for a place to eat. Waitress was very attentive, hustled, and pleasant. Came in at 6:30pm on a Saturday, June 2nd. I've had my share of Thai food, including several times in Thailand. They definitely provides several authentic options. One thing about Thai food in Thailand is that it's almost always very spicy. At Mountain Thai, they are very clear about how spicy their dishes are, and offer several non-spicy choices. Also have a surprisingly excellent beer selection, including quality brew from countries in SE Asia. I've been to Thai restaurants that did one or two dishes very well and were rated 5 star or close to it. This place does many dishes well. They serve most dishes combined on one plate, which is very common for Thai food in Thailand. Another thing I really like, was the food was not too greasy, like many mainstreamed Thai restaurants. In fact, I'd place it on the healthier end. read more

I will start with the good, Waitress - very friendly and helpfull Food - was pretty good, apparently they make their own curry... it was fresh tasting but very hot (beyond your typical thai hot) The bad, Slow service, we were the only ones there and it took an hour to get our food (kitchen) Limited menu, but they did accomodate changes Cleanliness, there were spider webs in the window we were seated near. They were also cleaning tables with a sponge (a bacteria nono) Overall I give it an average... value, atmosphere and location were all average... so the consensus is 3 STARS We have 2 more thai food places to try before we decide if we will go back... we shall see read more

I don't know what was worse, the food or the service. They lack many vegetables that I often get at other Thai restaurants in the valley. The cucumber and tomato salad came out with no tomatoes. When she took the dish back all they did was toss some tomatoes on top without mixing them in the dressing. The eggrolls were decent but should have been cut. The miso soup was ok. Too many veggies for a tofu soup though. The food was all bland and boring. No one enjoyed their entrée (there were 6 of us). Our server said she has been there for over a month but she had no idea what was in any of the dishes. She was sooooo slow. Clueless and clearly waiting to go home. The guy working (not the crabby owner, but the teenage boy) was great. He came and helped us with everything we needed because our own server couldn't be bothered to earn her pay. Keep in mind, we still tipped her more than she deserved, I'm hoping she split it with him. read more

I dare you to find a better veggie egg roll. They rule. And I crave them a lot. Satay is super tasty and the peanut sauce is amazing. Tom Ka Gai is much different than I've had other places but it's really good too! read more

Excellent food and service. We had no complaints from a table of four including one person who has lived in Thailand. The Pho, Summer Rolls, iced tea, Drunken Noodles, Pad Thai, and Curry went over really well. We will return. read more

We decided to try Mountain Thai again after having a lack luster experience a few years ago. We have been going to the new Thai restaurant in town, but they don't have coconut ice cream, which we love! After reading some of the recent reviews, we thought we'd give Mountain Thai another chance. We had the green curry with tofu and fried rice with shrimp. The menu stated that the green curry was very spicy, but they did not offer the familiar number system of desired heat .. so we decided to take a chance. It was definitely spicy and I won't fault them for that ... we were warned. But we had to get up to request more water . Even when a fellow waitress came by to clean the table next to us, she totally ignored us. I guess we weren't her table. The curry was tasty .. but we weren't able to finish. We normally order a 3 at other Thai places. I would say this was definitely a 4 bordering on 5. If you like really spicy, then go for it. The Fried Rice had lots of shrimp, but it was a bit on the fishy side and the rice was mushy. We weren't able to finish that either. I think this is the first time we left a Thai restaurant leaving food on the plates and it had nothing to do with the portion size. Our waiter was sweet, but not very attentive. As I mentioned, we had to get up to ask for a refill on our water once and track him down the second time. Then we decided to get what we came there for .. the homemade coconut ice cream. The waiter took our order but shortly thereafter, a large group came in and sat at the tables next to us. It probably would have taken him a minute to dish out our ice cream, but he was pulled away to get the water glasses together for the large group. We decided to save him the trouble and leave without the ice cream. As we were eating, we overheard the owner talking about the other Thai restaurant that just opened up in town and how his wife considered its opening an 'declaration of war'. Well .. she better reach back into her arsenal and pull out the big guns. So far .. in our opinion, she's losing the battle. This place seems to do a good business so maybe we just hit them on an off night. However, we probably won't give them a third try. read more

Literally threw out our meal. I think the cook needs all new recipes. Tom Kha was thick and sour. Curry was not flavorful and the "drunken noodles" had no sauce! Whatever they have done over the last year had put this place down the tubes. Disappointed. read more

It's bad... I gave 2 stars because there close to making a good product. I should have known.

My husband and I are vegans and were excited to find this restaurant on the internet. We perused the menu and saw they had many curries with coconut milk. After we arrived and got seated, we were telling the waitress we wanted the curry we saw on the Internet menu and asked if they were vegan? She stated they also had whole milk in them and they couldn't be changed!!!!!!! Well that limited our lunch to a few choices. We ordered two different dishes with fried tofu.....worst tofu on the planet. If that was my first time trying tofu, I'd never have it again! Tasteless pillows of nothing. The waitress was a snob too. There was only one other couple in the restaurant and they were slow! The owner of this restaurant must go to the valley and go to Pei Wei and taste their fried tofu!!!!!! read more

Why we wanted Thai food in the White Mountains is unknown. Looking back, we were idiots. Mountain Thai serves edible food, and that's the best we can say for it. Try somewhere else if you're looking for good grub. read more

We love this place! They are very professional with good service and good food. My boyfriend loves the curry, I get the shiitake mushrooms, and my girls get the shrimp pad Thai. Our food is always fresh and delicious. Occasionally we order the mango and rice dessert, it's a must try. One of our favorite places. read more

I got the pad thai and it was the worst I've ever had, so bad that I made an account to warn you guys.

I must agree with previous reviews. Not authentic, not tasty, not reasonable. My wife had two appetizers and I had the pork panang. 32 bucks. Thought we were getting stuffed Thai wings, but got eight fried chicken wings on a leaf of Napa cabbage. Wife's Garlic shrimp was cocktail shrimp in unknown bland sauce and cucumber slices. My pork panang curry was pork with some kind of bland curry poured over pork and white rice. It takes talent to make Thai food bland. Wow unbelievable. They probably buy the canned Sysco Thai sauces and pour them over rice and meat. Save your taste buds the ignomy of this experience read more

Lived here all my life and never thought about coming here, glad I did the food was delicious. Ordered the chicken curry it was pretty good, the customer service was good as well. read more

Owner is terrible. I wouldn't know how the food tastes because it took over an hour to get our food. As we get up to pay for drinks and leave he says the food is ready and was set up as a take out order and has only been sitting for 15-20 minutes. As we say no we don't want cold food and in that 60 minutes not even our appetizers came out, he threatened to call the cops on us for not paying for the food we never received. Then proceeds to blame the very nice waitress for the whole ordeal even though we clearly heard her asking for the food multiple times. I don't know how this owner continues to do business. He is extremely rude and blames his staff right in front of them when he was 100% in the wrong. Will NEVER go to this establishment ever again! read more

Best Thai food I have had in a long time!! Up here from Phoenix, haven't been able to find good Thai food in Phoenix but this place in Lakeside is delicious. I would recommend the #16. Yellow chicken curry. I was reading some of the reviews about the staff, my daughter and I had the opportunity to have the owner serve us, he was NOT rude but not as friendly as one would expect from a waiter, he provided information when asked, a little overwhelmed ( I think he was short staffed or wasn't expecting as much business at 200 pm) but overall the food came out fast and again was delicious. I will visit this place every time I'm in lakeside. read more

The flavor is not there. The vegetables seem old. The menu choice were pretty good. Just doesn't taste like it's suppose too.

I've never written a review yet but this place FORCED me to write one. This place is horrible. Here are the reasons 1. Food arrived after 45 mins late 2. My food was bad the egg in the noodles tasted gross and I asked them to take it back 3. The owner came out with the same dish and asked me to eat it. His reasoning was that I had eaten the chicken in the noodles and hence I would have to pay for the food. I had never asked them to take it out of the check but the way the owner told me was plain rude. Never been spoken to or treated like this in any restaurant. 4. When I was talking to the owner the cook came out and shouted out something in audible to me. 5. The staff was cleaning the place and they were constantly arguing about who should be doing what, which was very annoying. AVOID this place!! read more

PLEASE DONT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT!!! Nothin is good here... I would not even rate this as 1. Customer service is NIL. Its not quality food and the what ever they provide is also lousy!!! They are very cheap!!! Its waste of time!! read more

Hit this place up after a day of snowboarding at Sunrise. Yelp gave it OK reviews so I tried it out. Service was slow, unfriendly and just generally looked depressed. Atmosphere was kind of odd since it's a thai restaurant and the only music was this ridiculous elevator stuff. The noodles were soggy and bland. The beef wasn't special at all and left me wanting... Anything else to keep from falling asleep while eating. Presentation was a bowl with crap thrown in it, no care or "love" present in the dish. On a personal note HOW MANY BEAN SPROUTS DOES ONE BOWL OF PAHDT THAI NEED?!?!?!?!? Anyway, i'd pass on this place if your in town. read more

Bad food. Bad attitudes. I gave them two chances. They blew it both times.

Amazing yellow chicken curry. I got it to go and they were pleasant at pick up. I'm planing to go back and get a beer sometime.

The menu was amazing lots of good selections! The atmosphere was so good with great music playing and comfortable tables and chairs. Our server Taleecia was superb! I highly recommend the delicious food I had the yellow chicken curry which was fantastic. read more

This place is great! I had a great pho but the panang wasn't my favorite however I'm very picky about my curry!

Been eating here once - twice a week.. Food tastes really good.. Nice place.. Good service. Friendly staffs.. Clean n decent place..

This is the worst Thai I have ever had. The food was tasteless and ingredients were skimpy (one piece of pineapple) if not completely missing. In one dish: no onions, no bamboo shoots, two skimpy strips of green pepper. It's no surprise the parking lot was empty. read more

Authentic Thai at its finest. Ive had Thai from NYC to ATL to LA and this is real life thai food made by a real life thai lady...im high on this thai right now! read more

Interesting place! I have been 2x but only had the broccoli beef on white rice...however it is SO good. Had a bite of curry and that was good too. Not a place I frequent but if you like Thai totally check it out! Nice owners too! read more

I love this place! Authentic, delicious, service was good, huge portions for not a lot of money.

I looked at the other reviews and I think people were being a bit harsh. The restaurant was busy and the staff was polite. The server was friendly and the food came out fast. They also offer a thai hot tea which my husband loves. We got a noodle dish which was good and a coconut curry dish which was yummy. It was a bit different to me because it came with potatoes and squash. It was inexpensive. The plus was its hard to find vegan food on the road and we found it in show low. read more

The best Thai on The Mountain... ok, it's the only Thai on The Mountain, but is definitely worth checking out. The curries we had were very good with excellent flavor. They offer actual Thai chili's on the side, which seems to be a rarity at places in the valley where it is common to get the standard vinegary/garlicky paste thrown at you. Some of the flavors took me back to Thailand and that goes a long way with me. There's also $2 beers until 4:00, so that's pretty awesome. read more

Food was good, excellent service. Waitress was awesome. Food got to us slow but other than that, was happy with the experience

I have dined in Tia eateries all over the US. I have been eating at this restraunt for 15 years. This place is top shelf. Always great food and service. A beautiful, well kept and clean restaurant. read more

Might be the worst Thai restaurant in Arizona. The food doesn't taste like Thai. The waitress mixed up the order and took long time to fix the bill. The owner is worst part of the restaurant. She came out shouting that she is the boss and her word is final. I have never seen a owner treating customer so rudely. Just avoid this restaurant, I wanted to give it ZERO rating. read more

Worst Thai food ever! I have never seen a Thai place that goes wrong with fried rice! Worst phat Thai I have ever tasted! Please save yourself and do not eat here! read more

We live in the valley and always make this a stop when we come up here for the weekend! The food is great! The owners are quiet but sweet and very hard working! Their tom ka gai is amazing! I'm very picky when it comes to this soup and mountain Thai does it right! We've had many of their dishes and are never disappointed... I truly don't understand the poor reviews... I can't stand it when people complain about the service... Who cares... You're in Pinteop... Relax for once! read more

I've been coming here for years and always leave satisfied and with a broadened palate. By far the best, most authentic Thai food on the mountain. Just the fact that they've managed to stay open this long in such a tough food service environment says a lot. Most of my other favorites restaurants have come and gone, but Mountain Thai is here to stay! read more

This place served food with no flavor at all. The place seemed to be clean, but that is all that was good about it. There was a window that the cook shoved the food thru that had a curtain hanging down and when they would push the plate through it, it would scrap over every single plate. Disgusting. We will never go there again. read more

My husband and I visit this area once a year from Tennessee. My son and daughter in law took us here. Great food. Iced chai tea is awesome. Very refreshing. Red curry shrimp, wow. Pad Thai, oh yeah. And the lemon grass soup is very good. The portions are quite large. I'll be back for sure. read more
