Cabbage soup included with lunch, great! - A bowl of cabbage soup with chopped green onions and fried garlic garnishes, served in a red bowl on a decorative plate.
Rick L.

Amazing lunch specials, only $11.99 including a drink. The servings were huge, colorful and well put together. We were surprisingly happy and enjoyed the heck out of it. One of our best lunches in a long time. Yellow curry chicken was great, slightly spicy but spot on. Chicken fried rice amazing, super fresh with soup and salad. Highly recommended! Great service too.

We stopped here en route from Bear Canyon Lake back to Phoenix after a long day paddleboarding and playing disc golf. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality and portion size of the meals. It wasn't the best muss-aman curry I've ever had, but it was pretty good. I'd have preferred it to be a little less sweet with sliced carrots instead of shredded, but those are preferences. The spice level was good and the portion was big enough for 3 meals. Everyone working was very nice and the place was small, but clean. Overall, a great little lunch place with reasonable prices, large variety on the menu, and bog portion sizes.

I came in for dinner on Saturday night and enjoyed my meal! I got the veggie spring rolls as an appetizer and pad see ew with pork for my entree. I enjoyed both, it was a large portion, and the prices were reasonable! The food came out very fast but the service could have been improved with filling our water. Not much of an ambiance inside.

Place is clean and has plenty of tables. Service is quick and so was food. I got spicy basil and asked them to add chicken. Food was basic not outstanding but good. I got lunch special which includes side salad and 2 potstickers. Huge portion for $13. It is not bad since there aren't a lot of options in payson

Orange Chicken

In town visiting and I wanted soup and Thai Station came up on the list. I am a big fan of Thai food. I called in my order for pickup in 30 minutes. I also had a special request for my soup. Convenient location next to Bashas. Friendly and welcoming staff. Ordered Thai Chicken noodle soup and requested no broccoli and I should have requested no cabbage but didn't realize that was an ingredient. Large portion w/noodle served on the side. Soup was good but I had to pick out all the cabbage but that's on me. The carrots were good not overcooked. Broth was very flavorful- chicken base with garlic and cilantro. Maybe a hint of chili (which I did add more) chicken breast sliced thin was tender. I had enough for 3 meals. Orange chicken: not good. The chicken was super tough, dry, and very overcooked. Not sure what kind of orange sauce but this dish went in the trash. Did come with a side of Jasmine rice. Summer rolls were good with fresh crispy vegetables. Peanut sauce was nice with just a hint of spicy. These were a meal in itself There were many patrons and I saw lots of food on the tables - I was hopeful but that orange chicken was bad really really bad.

This is pretty much hit and miss. The service is friendly, but don't stay there too long because they will tell you they're closing when they're not. I went there on a date. We were literally the only people in the restaurant and after an hour and a half or so they told us they were closing because it was slow. We went and sat in the car to figure out where we were going to go next And people started going in, and we realized that they had lied to us. Even though there was no one else there and we had tipped generously and ordered full meals appetizer and dessert. I went there with my son and I told him make sure you don't stay here too long and he thought it was funny. But after we ate our appetizer and our meal, we ordered dessert and they brought the check before we even got the dessert. I'm not sure what's going on with them wanting to get customers out the door, but maybe that is the reason that they are slow. I like this place better than the other Thai place in town, but it really is hit and miss as to what you order. I wouldn't count on any time pay on being exactly like what you think you're getting anywhere else.

Our new favorite Thai spot and not just because of the amazing prices. We eat lots of Thai food and this place is absolutely delicious. The amount of food Our new favorite Thai spot and not just because of the amazing prices. We eat lots of Thai food and this place is absolutely delicious. The amount of food is mind blowing as well. We drove from Fountain Hills to come eat here. Funny thing we met another table sitting across from us- who drove from Mesa. So I'm telling you this place is worth the try. The lunch menu- a long list of options for entree, chose your meat, comes with cabbage soup, salad, 2 pot stickers, chose your rice. $11 My husband got the praram long song and it was so good. These meals were so large we could have shared. Man the paradise chicken was not at all what I expected. But let me tell you it was out of the world yummy. I've never had anything like it. The sauce is a honey sweet sauce. Breading was so freaking good. Every time my husband stole a bite of mine his eyes rolled into the back of his head....lol It definitely had everyone's attention in the restaurant too. But it was HUGE! $13 and I could only get down 1 piece of the chicken. I brought the rest home for my son. Try this place. Oh and Thai coffee is always yummy Returned again for lunch....... You seriously can not finish it all. They give you so much food for $11.99 it's unreal.

I've never had Thai until I tried it here in Payson. They would get 5 stars if my drink wasn't flat. I'd go again the food was delicious

Z and Pete are absolutely delightful. the service, ambiance and amazing food keeps us coming…read moreback! One of our favorites here in Cave Creek!

I have been so desperate to love this restaurant because I love Thai and this is a local location…read more Plus the people seem so very nice. But for some reason, I just haven't had a great food experience at this location and sadly will likely not go back. We have tried Z's on a few occasions. The last time was about a year ago (before most recent trip). We went with a group and two people in the group got sick afterwards. One was my husband. This followed another occasion of someone getting sick (in fact, someone else in the group said they didn't want to go there for this reason). So, after that incident, we said we weren't going back. Fast forward a year and I thought why not give it another try? The reviews seemed good recently and maybe this was a fluke. So last night, we returned for another try. They were very busy for a Monday night so they obviously don't need more customers. And the staff, though clearly overworked, is friendly and nice as usual. I ordered a larb salad (something I always get at every Thai restaurant). Unfortunately, the chicken in the salad was inedible. I kept trying to eat it because the dressing was on point, but the chicken tasted like something that someone heated up too long in the microwave. And I couldn't pick it out. So disappointing. You can see it looks bad in the images. I didn't say anything because I hate complaining at restaurants. I took it home and tried it again in case I was being sensitive but it was still bad and I threw it out. We also ordered green curry with tofu and pad Thai with pork. Both were enjoyable!! And the green curry had a nice heat kick though I added spice which they eventually brought when I asked. One note: I was not exactly sure how to eat the green curry because it was served in a small bowl place on a plate with the rice in the side. Adding the curry to the plate caused the sauce to run all around but there was not enough room in the bowl to add the rice. No big deal but just weird and messy plating experience. We didn't end up getting any alcoholic drinks. But do be aware that there must not be free refills because I was charged for two lemonades. All in all, I wish this restaurant well. Obviously people love it and keep returning. The owners/staff are very friendly and nice. I just love Thai too much to keep returning to mediocre experiences when there are other options in the area.

Came here for lunch and it was great. The service was fast and friendly, I like the decor inside…read morethe restaurant and the food was really good! Especially the curries! The prices were very reasonable. For $15 I got a stir fry dish of meat and veggies in a sauce with a side salad and a side of rice.

Positives: Decorated well. Lovely nods to a beautiful culture and a water feature. They are open…read moreall day- no odd hours like some of the Local Thai restaurants which is very inconvenient therefore we don't frequent them. Negatives: Portion size is a bit small to average, and sadly a few of the featured dishes we have tried seem to focus on adding prolific amounts of red and green bell pepper as "filler" for the vegetable in the protein and rice/noodle dishes. A variety of vegetables that compliment the specific dish would add interest and subtle texture and flavor. Broccoli? Lemongrass? Everything is expensive now due to the trump administration- and people simply can't afford to eat out as much or at all. When a dish is presented miserly, it becomes an easy to decision not to eat out. Also, the dishes are a bit overly salted. Thai food has such an abundance of spice to make it unique, over salting is a rookie move. The staff we have encountered seem mostly professional and friendly, however, lately staff seem disinterested, bored and we were surprised and disappointed to see two staff members, eating at the front register while people came in for take-out orders. Surely a health code violation to be eating while handling customer food orders and money at the cashier station. Big turn-off for us. We really wanted to see them succeed- but eating at the register is gross. Ughh.

I was in the mood for Thai food while in Winslow and decided to hit up Chang Thai on a Saturday…read morenight. I tried to call in an order a few times, but no one was answering, so I decided to go in person. When I arrived, I quickly realized they were understaffed and overwhelmed. However, they remained friendly. I ordered the following order to-go: Papaya salad + shrimp Mango sticky rice Thai tea They informed me that it would take 45 minutes and though I was hungry, I had nowhere to be so I decided to wait. The staff checked on me a few times and were very apologetic. The owners also came out and spoke with every customer. The papaya salad was fresh, tasty, and exactly what I wanted! The mango sticky rice was lightly sweetened and wonderful. The thai tea on the other hand, was plenty sweet and creamy. Great spot. Highly recommend!

Fried Rice - Thai Basil Chicken: Falls short, due to technique; feels like the rice just came out…read moreof a rice warmer rather than refrigerated overnight rice. So everything sort of clumps together. I felt the dish was missing that Drunken Tiger Thai Basil Fish Sauce + Sugar Soy Sauce flavor. Feel the fried rice can be simpler--- leave out the celery stalks, leave out the zucchini, and keep to garlic, basil, Thai bird eye chillis, onions and Pad Kee Mao Sauce. Missing that taste of flame where every rice is coated with the wok char. Pad Thai--- this was an outstanding Pad Thai. Considering we're literally in the middle of nowhere in Winslow AZ, the noodle dish wasn't Sugar Overload, it was light. Had a balanced amount of citrus acid lime, and tasted refreshing. Tom Kha---- this Tom Kha is how I'd imagine a white person would interpret it, lacks lime leaves, lacks sourness, and doesn't keep to its roots, shallots, lemongrass, Thai bird eye peppers, Mushrooms, cilantro and maybe tomatoes....but nothing more. This was almost like a Thai Coconut Vege Soup packaged in a plastic cup sold in some neighborhood in St Paul Minnesota at an Albertsons; I would modify it by cutting out the celery and carrots and maybe squeeze a bit more lime in there if the owners don't have a lime leaf tree. Egg Rolls-- I've made a ton of these back in my restaurant days, along with crab cheese wontons, so as a standalone appetizer this place has pretty decent egg rolls. Thai Ice Tea--- good, Balanced not sweet, light ; recommend. Overall this family restaurant was a good stop between Los Angeles and Route 66 Arizona. Every member of the family were incredibly friendly, couldn't ask for better service, they follow up with you and ask for suggestions to improve the dishes, and any other accommodations adjustments with the ingredients. So next time you know. Let them know. Wil definitely be coming back next time I drive through with my rig. Kudos for running a Thai restaurant so far away from society.
