This was a horrible experience. I won't be going back there. When I went into the restaurant and…read morethe first couple of moments, the young lady spoke to me you could tell she was upset and annoyed, and was treating me very inappropriately just to take an order so then I asked the older woman there what's wrong with her why she's so annoyed and she said that they had a conversation, but then this woman also paid no attention to me whatsoever the entire time I was there for a half hour. Then when I went to pay and I went to the front desk, I asked for military discount and never before has anybody ever asked me to take my ID out so she looked at my ID and said it's expired and I said OK here's my drivers license and she scrutinize my drivers license. It says Veteran on it and said this expires in 2028. I'm like exactly and she went to say well I could be a dishonorable discharge and that she knows somebody who's a Veteran so she knows all about this thing a verifying people so I went to the VA and I told them that my ID is expired and I need a new one and then I asked them to people with dishonorable discharges, get IDs and they said no and to go backwards when I finished paying and I didn't give a tip because the service was horrible and also the chicken smelt a little strange and tasted off like it was expired and undercooked in the pineapple fried rice I got the pineapple fried rice was OK but the chicken was off. I only ate a couple of pieces and push the rest of the side so when apparently she gave me my Veteran discount after very annoyingly questioning the validity of my ID and my status I told her I won't be coming back and she loudly said I don't care and then she started a walk away and I said and I'll make sure to report this experience on the Internet and she literally yelled that I don't care again loud enough for the entire restaurant to hear her. I didn't even turn to look at her. I just walked out the door horrible person horrible experience questionable food unfortunately they're the only Asian restaurant in town I think but I definitely will not be going back to whatever again I'd rather drive to a place like Show Low where they have multiple options and get good quality Asian food instead of horrible service and bad questionable food. If you look at reviews, there's also reviews about people complaining about his food tasted off and plates didn't seem to be clean or had a soapy taste. Go to restaurants and Show Low never had a bad experience with the quality of food there and multiple Asian restaurants.

A TRUE HIDDEN GEM IN PAYSON, AZ!…read more As soon as you walk through the door, it feels like you're walking into your auntie's house. You're treated like family, no matter what time of day you walk in! This was our 2nd time visiting this little gem while passing through Payson, and once again, she was just as special as the first time. This visit was extra special because it was my partner's birthday. There were only three of us, and somehow we ended up having the whole place to ourselves! We arrived about an hour before closing, but that did NOT stop the service or the food from being absolutely excellent. That kind of hospitality is rare these days, and I truly hope this place stays in business FOREVER! I've honestly never had much Thai food before, but EVERYTHING we ordered was delicious! War Wonton Soup: LET ME TELL YOU... this was like LIQUID GOLD! Absolutely incredible, especially after a long day out fishing at the lake. It hit the spot! House Fried Basil Rice :We asked for it spicy, and WOW... SO GOOD! The perfect amount of heat and packed with flavor. Chicken Lo Mein :Another winner! So flavorful and satisfying. And we have to talk about the chili oil and jalapeños on the table... I could've eaten those by themselves! I honestly wish I lived closer because I would be here ALL THE TIME! But if you're driving through Payson, DO NOT DRIVE PAST THIS PLACE! Great food, incredible hospitality, and that feeling of being welcomed like family. This is a MUST-STOP in Payson!

I almost never leave negative reviews, but this experience was so disappointing that I felt it was…read moreworth sharing. A friend and I decided to try this restaurant because we wanted to give it a fair chance, despite its many negative reviews. We ordered the Pad Thai and the Pad Kee Mao. Both dishes arrived with a thin, brown, watery sauce pooling in the bottom of the bowls. From the moment they were set on the table, something seemed wrong. The aroma was unpleasant, and after only a couple of bites, we both knew we couldn't eat them. The flavors were bland and unbalanced, and neither dish bore any resemblance to the classic Pad Thai or Pad Kee Mao we've come to expect. I ordered my Pad Kee Mao "Thai Hot." Despite the menu clearly describing it as spicy, there wasn't even the slightest hint of heat. Our server was very kind and apologetic. She explained she was new and went to get the owner. Unfortunately, that's when the experience went from disappointing to completely unacceptable. The only solution the owner offered was for us to order two entirely new entrées, which we declined. He immediately declared, **"There is nothing wrong with the food,"** without tasting it or addressing any of our concerns. We politely asked to have the meals removed from the bill since we'd taken only a couple of bites, but he refused. He also declined to offer even a partial discount. At that point, we simply said we would pay the full bill and leave. Instead, the owner became increasingly confrontational. He raised his voice and demanded to know where we'd eaten Thai food before and whether we'd ever even been to Thailand, repeatedly telling us that we **"know nothing."** Thai food is one of my favorite cuisines, and I've enjoyed it at restaurants all over the country, so that was an incredibly bizarre response. I've also managed restaurants for most of my career, and I understand that not every guest will love every dish. That's simply part of the business. What matters is how concerns are handled. Never, in all my years in hospitality, would I have dreamed of speaking to paying customers the way we were spoken to. The conversation reached an entirely different level when he looked at us and called us **"IDIOTS"** while we were standing there trying to pay our bill and leave. At no point were we yelling, demanding free food, or causing a scene. We had taken only a couple of bites, couldn't eat the meals we'd been served, and were simply hoping for a reasonable resolution. Instead, we were insulted for respectfully voicing our concerns. When I again asked if we could please just pay and leave, he continued yelling and finally said, **"If you don't pay, you'll be sorry."** At that point, all we wanted to do was get out of there. This review isn't simply about food that missed the mark. It's about an owner who appears completely unwilling to accept feedback and who chose to berate his customers instead of addressing a legitimate concern with professionalism. The food was among the worst Thai food I've ever been served. What made it truly unacceptable, however, was the owner's behavior, which was shockingly unprofessional, openly hostile, and far more offensive than the meal itself. I genuinely hoped this restaurant would prove the negative reviews wrong. Instead, we left understanding exactly why so many people had written them. For the sake of future customers, I sincerely hope the owner takes those reviews to heart. Whether that means revisiting the recipes, investing in better kitchen training, hiring a new chef, or improving the way customer concerns are handled, something clearly needs to change. Otherwise, this restaurant will continue to drive people away and has little chance of improving its reputation.

Tldr: Very poor service, good food…read more Mountain Thai is a mom and pop restaurant in Lakeside. The parking lot is very hard to get into or out of if you're turning left. You'll wait a long time for a break in traffic. When we arrived there was only one other table of two there. The man told us to sit anywhere. We did and a short later he came back to take our order. While we were waiting for our drinks (these took a very long time), the woman (who cooked the food) paced the other table's order in the window and rang the bell. Nothing happened for several minutes. She then delivered that food to the other table. Our drinks arrived and the man went off to do something. When our food was done, the woman who cooked it delivered it to our table. When we finished our food, the man came by and asked if we wanted a refill on our drinks and if we wanted a box. While we were eating the man came back to the window because an order was wrong (it was supposed to be a combo). There was some conversation ending with him telling her that she needs to open her ears. All in all. Not recommended. We will not be back.

I considered stopping for the night, in Holbrook, but I wasn't as tired as I thought I was, so I…read moreplanned to have dinner, instead. I had previously looked up hotels and saw that Mandarin Beauty was recommended by someone. I love Asian food, so I decided to give it a try. Pulling up, I wasn't sure it was the right place. For some reason, the front reminded me of a Mexican place. Walking in, there was an adorable older woman seated at a table. I asked for a table for one and she just smiled. A pretty younger lady came out of the kitchen and indicated I could sit wherever. I was the only customer in the restaurant, late afternoon, on a Sunday. The menu was larger than I had anticipated. Many of the dishes were likely popular with American tastes. I didn't want anything too heavy, so I opted for a chicken rice noodle dish and some hot tea. I went to the restroom to wash my hands. The bathroom, like the rest of the restaurant, needs some help. It was clean, but a refresh would go far. Near the bathrooms and kitchen, there is a buffet station. It was larger than I expected. (Buffet is not available at dinner.) When I got back to my table, the tea and food were waiting for me. The portion size was bigger than I expected. The rice noodles were cooked just right, not overcooked. There were far more vegetables than I expected, which was a welcomed surprise. The chicken was tender, flavorful, and plentiful. I enjoyed every bite. I went to the pay and the total was a little less than $20. I only had two 20s, so I gave the pretty lady a $20 and asked for change, wanting to pay the bill with my other 20. She gave me the difference from the price of the bill and the 20. I giggled and gave her the other 20 and asked for change. Then, she realized what I was asking. Unfortunately, it seems that business had been slow, because I got a $5 and a bunch of dollar bills. I left the change from the bill and a nice tip. As I was leaving a truck pulled up. I hope they got some more customers that evening. I plan on returning on my next trip through!

In addition, the pineapple chicken fried rice I got tasted and felt like the chicken wasn't fully cooked and it had a Spoiled smell to it. I only ate a couple of pieces of it and pushed the rest of the side. Maybe the aura in the room was making the food taste bad. the rice was OK I'd say two stars for the meal I've tasted much better. Where this company Shamefully failed was the service. When I came into the restaurant As the first person at 4 o'clock when they reopened a young Asian girl came to me and she was short spoken She was sneering at me if I asked questions. She turned her back to me when I was still talking she huffed and she puffed with anything And rolled her eye At anything, I asked her for example can I have a little Extra ginger and she retorted I'll give it to you when the food comes in a rude tone. when she went to the back I asked the older woman why is she so stressed out and she said we had a conversation. you could feel the tension in the air. They looked a little similar, so perhaps they're related mother and daughter and had an argument I don't know, but they were both acting as if they didn't want to be there didn't, wanna answer questions Didn't want to serve customers and hated anybody who talked to them. The younger girl disappeared into the back and never came out for the half hour I was there. The older woman wouldn't so much as look over to me or ask me if I needed anything at any point in time. I was hesitant to even ask for an extra napkin feeling like daggers would come my way if I asked for anything. when it was time to go I took my receipt to the register and I asked her if she does military discount she said yes and then she said I have to see an ID. I opened my wallet so she could see my military ID and my drivers license showed Veteran on it and she said she had to actually see it. I had to take it out which I've never had anybody ever do except for Medical appointments. She said that my military ID is expired which it was in 2025. I didn't even notice. I'm 100% disabled so she didn't wanna give me the 10% discount. She said that a relative of hers is military and that I could've had a dishonorable discharge. My ID doesn't say honorable or dishonorable anywhere on it.I really don't think that Military people get an ID if they were Dishonorably discharged. so I pulled out my drivers license that showed Veteran on it and She scrutinized it and said this one expires in 2028 I said exactly And then she hesitated. it looked like she was thinking of a way to rebuttal my drivers license which said Veteran on it. I didn't give A tip for the lousy service uncomfortable atmosphere And questionable chicken in my meal and told her I wouldn't be coming back after she also was very difficult about accepting that I am a veteran, Questionable chicken and horrible service.She blurted out loudly I don't care Loud enough to be heard in the small restaurant where there were now a half dozen couples.and then she walked away and I said I'll be happy to put this on social media and she yelled very loudly. I don't care again Well, she was walking to the back with her back to me. very unprofessional that they would Probably have had a disagreement andTake it out on the customers And continue their unprofessional rampage Causing my meal to be almost unconsumable. Unfortunately, they're the only Asian restaurant I could find in town, but I will definitely never go back there again. I'm going to find out if there's a owner to the restaurant and tell them about this.
