    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.

    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!

The EXO noodles were really good and had just enough spice without being too hot. Plenty of seafood in it too.

All in all a great experience I will definitely stop there next time I'm anywhere close!

I used to come here specifically for the Ramen, but the Ramen has never been the same after a bit before Covid had hit and they decided to change the recipe and everything about it and it's just like mid now, but I've recently discovered how good their noodles are. This is probably some of the best chow mein I've had and that's mostly what's carrying this review. I literally am only putting it at three stars because I am still upset about the Ramen situation and how it used to be really good and I can't factor that out of my review lol but what I usually get here is the hot chicken bao bun and it's pretty freaking good pretty spicy too. I'm like white girl level zero when it comes to spices and I think it's pretty spicy but it's super flavorful. The pickles they put into it are really good. I think they like saturate them in something and like I said before the chow mein noodles are just super good. They're not dry and they're pretty flavorful it's great. I'm just hoping one day the Ramen will be better so I can change the review higher lol

When we walked in it had a very fishy smell, so it kind of made us second guess our choice. But we went for it anyhow. The greeter/server was very pleasant and sat us. It was very clean inside with ample space between seat. We browsed through the menu and started with our usual edamame and pot stickers. The edamame was salted well throughout where a lot of places just put the salt on top only. We ordered a couple varieties of sake which were both good. Out of all of the things we ordered the karange skewer was just a little more oily than were use to, but still good. The spicy salmon roll had really great flavor and the lollipop roll was probably one of the better versions that we have had. The musubi was giant to say the least, it was good, but offered a bit too much rice. Overall the food and service was great and we were very happy that we ended up here!

We were nearby for a show, and decided to stop in on a Wednesday evening for a late dinner with some friends. They have a good happy hour menu, and my friends ordered off there, but I was craving sushi so I got the nigiri omakase. It came with miso soup, which I enjoyed, definitely hard to go wrong there. The sushi itself was decent, nothing crazy, but definitely better than grocery store quality. The tuna and salmon pieces were a little fishy, maybe not the freshest, but it was also quite late (~10pm) so I wasn't expecting too much. Beautifully presented, and the cuts were quite large which was nice! The food came out pretty fast, and the service was pleasant. The restaurant vibes are pretty dark, and moody. The bathroom was kind of scary personally, super dark and a little messy, so I decided to wait till I got home. Overall, a solid experience, and definitely a good choice if I am in the area.
