    Do you want some absolutely massive portions with ridiculously reasonable prices? Do you want quick service? Do you want a nice place to gather while you catch up with friends? Then go here for one of the best Thai spots in the valley. You don't even have to look at the clock to wait for your order to arrive. I was taken aback by the size of my orders. I had enough food to eat there and take home. The Tom Kha is so rich, warm, and served in a special way. The Pad Thai is offered in different spice levels! Love that.

    The food was delicious and portions were excellent! Love a good restaurant where you don't leave hungry! The interiors are cute and the service is excellent! A gem in the middle of no where in the outskirts of phoenix! If you're in the area make sure to try them out. Want to try their khao soi next! Love the cute robot servers!

    Drunken noodles with chicken

    Great food! Our first time in Phoenix and we lucked out choosing this restaurant right out of airport. The portion sizes are generous. We ordered drunken noodles with chicken, pineapple fried rice, salt and pepper wings and a lunch special of yellow curry with tofu Everything tasted good

    Kao Soi with chicken
    Julie K.

    Why am I just finding this place?? We had pad see eew and kao soi chicken. First of all the portions are huge and haven't compromised on taste. The staff is prompt, friendly and patient. The place is nicely decorated and clean. The orange chicken was insanely huge . The guy next to us ordered it and barely ate it. He didn't pack the leftover but said it was delicious? Hmm okay. I'm definitely coming back to try other items.

    Kao Soi
    Jen T.

    Wow!! I'm so glad I stopped by, this place is incredible of Thai food. I ordered pad see ew, the Kao soi and a Thai milk tea. Everything was 10/10! Authentic with large servings. Service was top notch. Bathrooms were clean. Parking was a little tight but we still found a spot. Will definitely come back.

    Fried Calamari

    FOOD WAS AMAZING and perfect amount to share family size with some friends or family. The drinks were also delicious like the thai milk tea. Definitely recommend this place. Service was great, loved our server! There's a bunch of booths to sit comfortably as well.

    We were in Phoenix on a business trip and went to another Thai restaurant, but without a reservation the wait was one hour and 20 minutes so we decided to try this restaurant. I'm so glad we did! The food was AMAZING. The menu was extensive. The food was fresh and the portions were large. We had plenty of leftovers. The restaurant had a steady stream of customers it was nicely decorated. The waitress was very friendly and funny. Once the food was ready, the server walks alongside a robot with a happy cat face that is carrying all the dishes and the server will take the dishes and put it on your table. I got the Kao Soi special (mild) and it was tasty. Lots of chicken, lots of flavor. Would go back if I ever visit Phoenix again.

    The food here was super delicious. All of our dishes were cooked well and tasted exactly as you'd hope from good Thai cuisine. It can get pretty busy at any time of the evening so be prepared for a wait and for them to take some time to check back around with you. However, the tom yum wings were a pleasant surprise. I'd recommend trying those out if you're a fan of tom yum. The fried tofu was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We really enjoyed the crab fried rice. It had a good amount of crab mixed in and didn't feel skimpy at all. The tom kha soup was flavorful, filling and would recommend going back for. If you're looking for a good eggplant dish, definitely try theirs. We finished with dessert and tried their sticky rice with coconut ice cream. If you love sticky rice, please make room for this. It's a great spot to come hang out at and eat great food.

    Drunken noodles..mangled..not hot as I ordered...

    First time here. Clean and spacious. A few of the booths have seen better years as visual wear shows on the seating area. Service is quick and friendly. Menu has it all with nice pictures. I had the drunken noodles. If Monday has a different Chef compared to other days based on other pictures in reviews, today's Chef butchered the fresh wide noodles used in this dish. Also a bit oily than it should be also had to many green bell peppers. For a dish ordered with a protein it was more of a vegetable dish. Flavor wise it was good. Heat came out less hot than what I ordered. I will be back and try a few other items on a different day and see if there is a difference between the prep and final dish. Worth checking out...

    This place has always been my go to for takeout Thai food. I usually order the Rama tofu mild/medium. It has great flavor and enough for at least two meals. Staff is always friendly and helpful during pickup. Would recommend!

    Fried Bananas are so good with coconut ice cream omg. Their pineapple fried rice (I added chicken upcharge$) was so yummy!! Toss was our server and he was just the best. And vibes are so good. The energy was calm and the decor was neat. Would love to come here again

    I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Service is always great and the robot kitty expediter makes my son's day. Portions are huge and food is always amazing. Noodle dishes here are my fave.

    Emma N.

    This Thai food was exactly what I needed after a long week at work. I've had this place on my list for a while now and I'm happy I finally tried it out! I Placed an order for pickup through door dash and it was ready within 20-30 minutes. Smaller parking lot, but some street parking could be available if needed. The dining room seemed nice, I would definitely dine in next time. My food was still hot when I got home. I'd heard the portions here were large and I definitely agree. I don't think I managed to get through half of the container. I'd ordered the pad Thai and it was sooo good Highly recommend!

Given the landlocked area and dearth of Asian markets, I have so much respect and awe that they dont hold back on lemongrass and all the thai spices in both of the food and cocktails. Loud, modern, and hip scene even on a Wednesday night. 45 min to 1 hour wait if you attempt walk in but we did reservations just a week prior. We opted for indoors since we visited in June heat and that was a great decision as we were sat in the back clubhouse which felt like a secret cocktail club. Btw, if you reserve indoors or outdoors, they will hold you to it. Save room for their hibiscus and lemongrass creme brûlée that has the perfect crust and smooth texture. Even if you can't take a lot of spice, they did a great job sharing what dishes would still work. Appreciated the thoughtful text ahead of time to arrive early for parking because yes, it's extremely challenging in that area even though my dad has a disabled placard. Just go here. So worth it.

Unfortunately, the customer service was subpar. Apparently, we had a time limit while at our table, which wasn't mentioned upon arrival. Upon getting seated, we were looking forward to an engaging with the staff and asking questions about the drinks (a lot of the ingredients listed were new to us, so we had questions). The first bartender who approached us didn't really help, she seemed like either she didn't know much about the drinks or just came over to take our orders and left when she realized we were undecided. We ended up taking longer than we would have liked as we were looking through the menu and waiting for our main server to arrive. Our server later came over and was better able to assist us with drinks and food choices. We ordered a few different dishes and drinks, and everything was amazing! Towards the end, our server came over and told us we needed to leave in fifteen minutes. I was shocked as we were still essentially eating. Again, no one had told us there was a time limit at our table. I asked the server if I could order a dessert and he flat out told me no (didn't even offer to do a to go dessert). I was honestly shocked as this was such a rude response. I have worked in fine dining before and, not to be a Karen, but this is not the way you go about things when working in customer service. Anyway, we left with a bad taste in our mouths after what would have been a lovely meal. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Update: restaurant owner is arguing with me via messages lol.

As a proud Yelp Elite, I decided to give this place a chance because the reviews were the best I saw in the city! The place was busy on a Sunday night and it is small but I never say customers waiting too long. There were two larger parties seated so the food took some time but nothing outrageous. We started with the calamari, spring rolls, and crab wontons. The calamari were the biggest I've ever seen and very delicious! Unfortunately, I did not enjoy the spring rolls or crab wontons. I feel like those are hard to get wrong but I was not a fan of the cream cheese that was used and it was a lot of it, barely any imitation crab. For entrees, I had the spicy basil and substituted ground chicken for chicken breast, my personal preference. I ordered level 2 spice but it was still a bit spicy for me. Trying a new Thai place is always hit or miss with spice levels so I actually thought I was being safe with 2. Additionally, the chicken was so bland. Some Thai places season their chicken, some do not and unfortunately Pad Thai Cafe missed that mark. My partner ordered the short rib curry dish and my goodness, it smelled like heaven and tasted just as good. I don't eat beef but had to taste it and it was divine! He also ordered spice level 2 and his dish was not as spicy as mine. Overall, the rest of the party enjoyed their food and there were good flavors there so I'd definitely recommend the entrees, not so much the starters.
