I have been to Thailand over 25 times in my working career and actually lived there for six months so I regard myself as a sort of authority on authentic Thai cuisine. I was in the neighborhood and did a quick search for Thai restaurants nearby and this came up on Apple Maps. It looked pretty good so I stopped in for a lunch and enjoyed a larb gai salad followed by Pad Kee Mow. I ordered both dishes hot, 4 on a scale of 1-5. OMG! I have a high tolerance for heat and initially was going to ask for.#5. Glad I didn't , so beware! They are not fooling around with heat. This is an authentic Thai restaurant that served traditional This cuisine. Larb Gai cane with cabbage and NOT lettuce - always a good sign that you are getting authentic northern Thai larb. Service was very good, the restaurant was clean, and I will return and highly recommend read more

Recently, I called to place a pick-up order after searching for a particular dish I'd been craving. Taste of Thai offers a casual dining atmosphere that feels warm and inviting whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout. I ordered the Pot Stickers and Pad See Ew with chicken--both dishes exceeded my expectations. The Pot Stickers were flavorful, while the Pad See Ew featured sautéed flat rice noodles with just the right amount of medium heat. Every bite was delicious, and the portion sizes were generous. Their staff was very pleasant and helpful. Worth your visit. They pay attention to flavor. read more

Went here last night and was not disappointed! The food is great and the service was too! Our waitress was really nice and the tea was good too! My boyfriend and I are excited to eat there again and loved the seating too! The spice level is intense and will be getting a little less spice next time but it was yummy. read more

First time here since they were located on the south side of Bell. Shared a sweet and sour chicken dish and a soup. Service was good, food was good and like the open ambience. All good here! read more

I ordered my food to go not too long after they opened. Received a confirmation text saying it would be ready in 30 minutes. Luckily for me , it was ready in 15 minutes. I picked it up and it brought it home. I ordered spice level hot , one below Thai hot. Man was it spicy. That's my normal spice level. It was really good. A teeny bit spicier than I remember it but just as tasty. The yellow curry was delicious. I didn't get pics of the inside because I was in a hurry but it is also very cute and quaint. Definitely a vibe. read more

This was our first time dining in. A few weeks ago I'd ordered online but didn't do a review. But it's fine since the 2 things I'd ordered that time we actually ordered again. First, the Bacon Fried Rice! When I ordered online I replaced the carrots with bean sprouts and loved it. I left a little for my husband to try and that is why we had to go back. But here's my one issue - this time, I also requested swapping out the carrots and she wrote it down, but the kitchen didn't make the change. I ate around the carrots, and did mention in but was basically told that sometimes the kitchen just doesn't pay attention to the substitutions. We also ordered crab puffs. We've struggled to find good ones here in Phoenix. (They're crab rangoons on the East Coast.). These are decent, but maybe a little too sweet. A lot of places here don't have any sweet at all, which I really don't enjoy. I also ordered the Drunken Mussels (delish!) and husband got the orange chicken which he really enjoyed. We had plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day too! The decor inside is beautiful and service was very friendly and attentive. They do close for an hour between lunch and dinner service, but their hours are clearly noted. They're right around the corner from our house and I suspect we'll be ordering again soon even if it's just for more bacon fried rice! read more

Went there with hubby on Thursday night to see how similar it was to Krua Thai and it did not disappoint. The service was quick even though only one girl was greeting and seating people, taking orders, and cleaning up. We ordered our usual which is yellow curry and pad see ew. Both were delicious and just as they used to be under the previous ownership. We will be returning for sure :) read more

Some times it's hit or miss with certain restaurants but this place hit us in all the right places when it comes to taste and flavor from appetizers to entrees to drinks and desserts it was top notch! The service was right on point, attentive, and super friendly! The music was nice and place lite up nice for a pleasant visit. We would definitely go back especially for that delicious sticky rice. Thank you Taste of Thai! We loved our visit! read more

Everything was perfect! My family is not from this area at all. This was a perfect way to celebrate a graduation without the need of a reservation. Food was delicious. The place was decorated so nice. Our waitress was great as well. No complaints at all. Except that I don't live closer. read more

I've been to a lot of Thai restaurants in the valley and I can honestly say without a doubt Taste of Thai has the most flavorful dishes. They also have an exceptional presentation with each of their dishes making the food look like it was purposefully put on the plate instead of just being slapped on there. The staff is very kind and attentive and the lighting in the restaurant combined with the music just create a vibe. Definitely check them out!!!! read more

The green curry shrimp with avacado is my dream come true!! Fresh ingredients is a must for me and they have that plus beautiful atmosphere.

Ordered door dash. Food was hot and tasty! I love Thai hot. But was my first time. I ordered med hot. Pnang Chicken w veggies. WOW! Glad it was only medium. (Would order medium again) Potstickers for my appetizer. Tasty as well Service was fast. 10/10. Will order again and again. Highly recommend to anyone who loves good authentic Thai food! read more

The service at this small, family owned restaurant is phenomenal. The manager/waitress could be in a five star establishment. Food was served quickly and was fantastic. We were asked our preferred level of spice for both dishes. I chose the Pad Thai with chicken while my spouse chose the Wanton Hot Pot (soup). All the vegetables were crisp and fresh and the chicken was tender. Definitely recommend read more

Pretty brand new place and on Bell road so it was a last minute find. Being a huge Thai food fan, I decided to give it a try but not so happy with the quantity they offer for what I paid ($17) just for a Druken Noodles dish (picture attached). I don't normally judge based on one experience and may visit here again but still wanted to post my experience. The restaurant ambience is too good though, and the staff is also eager to help customers with their needs. Looking forward to my future visits and hoping to change from 3 stars to 5 stars rating for my review. :) read more

This is my new favorite spot for Thai food. You walk into a spotless dining room and right away, you get a friendly smile and greeting. I ordered Spicy Cashew Chicken for take out this time. The food couldn't taste more fresh and delicious. I ordered a 2 on the spice and that's exactly what I got. Plenty of chicken, and veggies that were fresh, not frozen, in this dish. This wasn't my first time here and it won't be my last. I highly recommend Taste of Thai. read more

Taste of Thai - Spicy Cashew Chicken... delish! - Thai Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I love Thai food. It's my favorite food when we do go out. I have very high expectations when it comes to Thai food. My wife and I went to Taste of Thai for the first time when it was raining (which I'm convinced makes Thai food taste even better...I digress). This was without a doubt, the best Thai Green Curry with Pork I have ever tasted. It was so delicious that every bite felt like it was still fresh from the kitchen, it was that good!!! The Pad Thai was knock your socks off delicious!! The service was very prompt but not overbearing, and was willing to help us decide what we wanted. The interior of the restaurant is very reserved and simplistic, but still has enough character to not be creepy. The food did not hold back!!! Truly recommend Taste of Thai to anyone who is looking for great Thai food. We will be dining here regularly!!! read more

Delicious food, cute interior, good serving sizes. It was really yummy! Nice to have the lunch special with the soup and roll. read more

Came here for the first time with family Good food but service is bad The waitress splashed the soup on my friend while cleaning but no sincere apology (no friendly at all). My friend said she'd never come back here read more

Our first visit to this newly opened location was during its soft opening. Although they were using menus from another location, we still managed to order and found the food tasty. Portions were ample, but prices seemed a little high for lunch. I did not notice any lunch specials. Our server was efficient and attentive, but not intrusive. The decor seems the same as the previous Thai restaurant. Our second try was a takeout order, again pretty standard with nothing outstanding. While the food was better than average, nothing made us think that this would be a regular "go-to" place. read more

I was sad to see Krua Thai go, but Taste of Thai has not disappointed. I've really enjoyed their menu and they make a great Pad Thai, my fave. Great service as well, and I like the more modern update to the interior. read more

Peanut allergy wasn't recognized! We have mentioned to the server twice while ordering that we have a company that has peanut allergy!---which she agreed she understood. We even mentioned that if it's alright to put the peanut on the side. She was very dismissive the entire service. When 1 of our meal came the food had peanut toppings everywhere! we let that one go and emphasized that pls put the peanut on the side. Since the portions were small for the prize we ordered more dishes . AGAIN when it came out peanuts was still on the dish! Annoyed by this time we didn't bother asking for it to be remade. I really hope that they take peanut allergy seriously as it is life threatening! read more

This restaurant has been much better in the past. Tonight everything is mediocre at best. The chicken pad Thai barely had any chicken! Ordered added veggies and they consisted of 2 broccoli and celery and a couple of carrots. The cucumber salad came in a condiment container. Honestly! Maybe 3 stars is too generous. Won't be back. read more

We would rate it more stars if that was possible. We search often for Thai food in our area but our previous experience has been disappointing. We were delighted to see a new name on a previously disappointing Thai restaurant in our neighborhood. We immediately looked for the menu and knew we needed to try Taste of Thai. We were greeted as we opened the door by the lovely Tan who directed us to a table and provided the leather covered extensive menu, with pictures . WOW! Heavenly and it only got better when our choices, Spicy Noodles and Pad Thai, were placed on our table. Generous portions burst off the plate with bamboo shoots, cucumber, scallions and minced nuts. I thought I was back in Bangkok. You won't be disappointed if you make it a point to get there soon. And there's plenty of parking. Lap Kun Ka !! Thea and Charles read more

I would have sent my comments to the restaurant directly, but I can't find a way to send them an email or DM. My opinion is slipping. I've eaten at Taste of Thai Bell Rd. 3x, but may be done. Service is good enough, food is delicious, decor is attractive, a bit better than your typically Phoenix strip mall restaurant. However, signs of stinginess are creeping in. Portions got small and smaller over my 3 visits. I am not a big eater, but I feel these portions were too small. At one visit I encountered the same shrimp-shorting issue another reviewer mentioned. Shrimp are not that expensive, people. Beef prices per lb are nearly 3X shrimp prices these days, but the upcharge for shrimp is twice that of beef. Make it make sense. Most entrees are nearly $20, and you start to pay attention whether you're getting your money's worth. For 2 people - a shared app, soft drinks, and their least expensive entrees, tax & tip, will cost just under $65. This is a $$$ restaurant, not a $$ one. Tonight I was going to order some food for take out, but they're charging a convenience fee for some reason. I decided some time ago that I'm not playing that game, and not doing business with places that charge unnecessary fees. read more

The food was so yummy! I think we ordered it too spicy though. We ordered food we had not tried before so that was fun to try new things on the menu. The service was great! It did not take long to get our food. The restaurant was clean and cool temperature wise, especially with the heat outside it felt nice! read more

Taste of Thai - Pineapple Fried Rice and the Red Curry with medium spice level. - Thai Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

We've been here 3 times now and we like the food more than any of the other Thai food in the area. The only thing I'd change is the portions. We really like the Kao Soi, which comes with a very generous portion of steak, but is lacking in noodles. If they doubled the portion of noodles, I'd have nothing but good things to say about this place. As it is, it's quite good, but a little overpriced for the portion size. read more

I've been to Taste of Thai six times with friends and will continue to return. The service is excellent. The meals are well prepared seasoned to specific taste with an appealing presentation. The curries are delicious and the bacon fried rice was superb. The appetizers along with the various sauces are a great way to start. Spicy Cashew, Eggplant Basil, Beef Teriyaki, along with multiple choices on the menu make it a place to continue to visit to try all of the dishes. Mango sticky rice is one of the desserts that is a favorite of mine along with many of my friends. The atmosphere adds to the enjoyment of meals to choose from. read more

The place is clean and modern. When we arrived to the place on a Thursday afternoon the restaurant had 4 tables full. The young lady that greeted us said we could sit ourselves. Seconds later that same young lady brought the menus. It probably took the server which was the (same young lady) about 10 minutes or so to come take our order and greet us at the table. We noticed that she was actually the only one running the whole restaurant by herself aside of the chefs cooking. She was the greeter, server, busser, runner, etc. We had order a few items. Everything was good expert my husband ordered combination fried rice and he said I would like to pay extra to add shrimp. When the food arrived the combination fried rice arrived perfect but we didn't expect for only 2 shrimps to be added when we paid extra. We did mention it to the young lady and she came back out with literally 1 shrimp in a small place that was not completely cooked. We didn't say anything to the server since we noticed she was doing all she could do with it being her the only one running the restaurant by herself . Would we come back, i don't know. The owner definitely needs to get that placed staffed correctly if they want to stay in business. I got to witness while I was there several upset customers waiting way too long as well as we did. Best of luck ! read more

This is our Friday night date night place. Sometimes we squeeze in a second visit if we are jonesing for more great thai food. We love this place. The pad thai is unique in a good way - the taste is out of this world. The curries are rich and flavorful. Our favorites are the massaman and green curry. We sometimes add avocado which makes it that much better. The thai ice tea is rich and done right not watery or weak. We highly recommend this location. read more

Absolutely fenomenal. Spicy, flavorful and atmosphere super inviting. I can't wait to come again.

This place was awesome. Their food was fresh and delicious...this will be a favorite place for sure!

The portion size is a bit small for the price, but they're introducing a lunch set next week that includes soup and a roll--can't wait to try it read more

Authentic Thai flavors at reasonable prices, with friendly staff--I'll definitely be back!

The pad Thai had a very weird flavor to it. The tea was just a generic green tea bag and a mug of water. The sampler platter was way overpriced for what it was. Won't be back. read more
