Good flavor but the ribs were like room temperature. The dragon balls are worth the drive !!!!!

Best Thai food in town. Friendly staff. Cannot recommend it more!! We are here once or twice a week. Parking is always available in back. Vibrant and energetic environment. read more

Wow!!!! Amazing, contemporary Thai food. The dragon eggs are a MUST to start with and no matter what entree you choose, order a side of sticky coconut rice. The service is every bit as good as the food, super friendly and personable. Definitely my favorite Thai restaurant in Phoenix. read more

I really enjoyed the food here. The Ribs were amazing, they fell right off the bone and the sauce was very flavorful! Everyone in our party enjoyed their food! Great experience. read more

The wait was a bit long, but the food was delicious. The indoor atmosphere was a bit lacking, but the outdoor seating was beautiful. I'd return. read more

We went here bc it was on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives! Yum!! Tried the pork skewers and the spicy seafood fantasy dish. Really, really good. The jasmine coconut rice is delicious:-) read more

While I am still on the hunt for my favorite Thai place in the valley, Wild Thaiger is on the top of my list so far. I went there first 4 years ago on mothers day. The service was Green Papaya salad is fresh, full of flavor and has several large flavorful shrimp. Yum. My other favorites are Holy Basil and Pad Thai. Always consistent and delicious. They offer a nice kids dish with chicken and a plum sauce that is very simple and good. and I love their iced green tea! read more

hands down BEST thai place in az! they'll make any entree veg if you ask and the staff is so attentive. love love love this place! read more

Food was decent but very Americanized. Neat place to hang out, but not the best for legit Thai food.

I used to really like the place, but lately the food has been just okay. and the curries have been a little on the watery side. I am particularly unhappy that Wild Thaier now makes things hot by merely sprinkling dried chili flakes over the entire dish, rather than cooked with the dish. Still, the food is not bad and it's a good lunch. read more

The food is good relative to other Chinese food places. Don't know what else to say really. I remember very little after the last few sake bombs. I don't even remember getting home. Five stars read more

Love this place! Amazing food and great service. We have been there over 10 times and it consistently is one of the better restaurants in town. I don't live any where near but travel there because I enjoy the dining experience so much. Keep up the good work. read more

Worse service i ever had, got a hangover between drinks because it took so long, food was ok, but they have to get yheir shit together or they'll be gone! read more

I really like wild thaiger. I don't get there too often as they are not near my house but I am always pleased when I do. The atmosphere is really nice and the food is some of the best I have found the in valley. read more

Awful-after one hour of waiting for our food in the worst smelling restaurant ever we walked out... Maybe Guy Fieri needs to re-visit this place? It used to be pretty good. POOR POOR customer service and over-priced fare. Two thumbs down... read more

Stopped by for dinner. The sign says please wait to be seated. So I waited, and waited, and waited some more. Employees walking by the hostess station. No greeting, or anything. So I left and went to Thai Basil. read more

This was my first time eating here. I came for a celebratory dinner. The service was very poor, our food came out in different order. It was over priced and came out cold for the amount food you get. read more

I am visiting Phoenix and found this gem. The pad thai is one of the best I have in years! Will keep coming back.

The staff here seems to resent it when Thais come in. My wife is Thai. As soon as she entered she was met by a Thai staff member. She asked a question about a menu item. The responce was simply nasty & for no reason. We told our friends we had taken there we wouldnt stay & we left. We will never return. There are many other places to go & several not to far from this joint. Read Gary Cs review before you waste money here. read more

We went back here this past Saturday night with a friend from out of town and liked it just as much as we did when we tried it a few months ago. My Cosmopolitan was just as big and tasty as it was last time, and the service was still attentive and friendly. My friend is a pescetarian/flexitarian (doesn't eat meat except for fish), and we were really pleased to find that all of the dishes we ordered that we usually get with meat were still absolutely delicious. Specifically, the Pad See Ew (which we usually get with chicken or beef) was still savory with just the fried tofu and perhaps even more amazing, the Mussaman curry (which usually comes with a deliciously braised beef) was still really flavorful and was complimented nicely by the tofu. Even after trying a decent number of other Thai places in Phoenix, we like Wild Thaiger for the full bar, consistently good flavors, great service, and fun atmosphere, and we will definitely continue to come here often. read more

Was excited to try this place because I love Thai food and generally the places featured on DD and D are pretty good. It was very average and I was disappointed for sure. The Dragon Eggs had a decent flavor but the filling had a hard texture. The "amazing peanut sauce" was good, not amazing, and the pork skewers were good as was the sticky rice but just nothing stood out. Service was fairly slow also. Sorry to be a downer. I just really expected more based on the hype. read more

I actually want to get this place zero stars but that is not an option. I went here with my family my aunt and uncle words are from out-of-town and I had suggested this place because I have had the food there before and it was very good. We got to the restaurant at a decent time on a Monday night there was three other tables, we asked to down in one of the empty booths but she told us that we could not. That we had to wait. . We looked around and couldn't figure out why it was a 25 minute wait. We said okay we would like to sit down the bar and have a drink my uncle and aunt enjoy a nice glass of wine. The waitress who was very rude, told us that if we sat down at the bar to have a glass of wine that we cannot sit at a table. We looked to her completely confused she said that we could not dirty two areas of the restaurant. I couldn't believe what I was hearing! We said okay and could we sit at a table, that we will stay at for dinner, we will understand if they couldn't get to us for the 25 minutes we can still sit and have a drink, she said no we have to stand there or sit on the bench waiting for a table for the 25 minutes or we cannot eat there!!!! We left the restaurant and I will never return. I have now read the reviews how the service has sank. It's sad because it was a very enjoyable place at one time. Big fat F for this place. read more

I was surprised at how good this place was. A friend and I went on a whim and the crowd inside was a lot older (60's-70's) and mostly just drinking. We ordered the Tom Kai Gai and I have to say it was the best I've ever had in Arizona. It was spicy but extremely flavorful the consistency of the rice was gloriously sticky.We also tried the hot teas I ordered the Gunpowder Temple of Heaven and she got the Lemon Souffle` and both were beautifully prepared and flavored. The Pad Thai and Panang were both spiced to perfection and the service was great and our waitress was so friendly and helpful I wanted to come back the very next day. They also work with you on how spicy you want your dishes so if you prefer an extra kick just ask but I'd recommend trying the dishes how they prepare them first since I like spice and thought they did a great job of making the dishes spicy but not to the point where the spice overpowers the dish. read more

Stopped in for lunch and was decently impressed with this place. Had the green curry which wasn't Thai hot like I had asked but still somewhat spicy. Was disappointed that they did not bring/have fish sauce with Thai chili peppers to add some more salty spiciness to the curry. Impressed that there was not a selection of meats for each of the curries, they are specific to each and was cooked excellently and especially tender. Looking forward to trying some more traditional Thai dishes from here again. read more

I've seen the reviews, some not commenting on food at all, focusing instead on their "bad" experience with service. Personally, I've been to Wild Thaiger at every time of day with every friend & family member I know who eats Thai, even my 91-year-old English grandmother who loves it! Their food is legit Thai cooking. If you understood how Thai is made, you'll know why they can't change heat levels, & I really wish you could eat those hotter dishes because they're very flavorful. If, however, you can't take the spiciness, then pay attention to the menu or ask your server about the heat in the dish you're eyeing--stay below 2-stars. Try yellow curry if you're looking for mild, maybe get satay or noodle dishes like Pad Thai or Pad Siew. They have several options below 2-star, as far as I recall (I don't know because I always get curries & usually don't look at the menu anymore). If you really like Thai, Wild Thaiger is unparalleled in the Valley, IMHO! It's very casual, & people are always friendly. As for food, they have several good starters, but my favorite is the Satay Sampler. The peanut sauce is gorgeous, but if you get the Satay, ask for the "chutney," which I know as Adjat: rice vinegar, simple syrup, onion, cucumber, & Thai chili peppers, a flavor combo so good I often eat it straight out of the dish when we've finished the sampler. The Spring Rolls are a solid choice as well, light & delicate, &, if I remember correctly, can accommodate vegetarians, too. Their Pad Thai is a standard, & if you don't like the peanuts go for the Pad Siew, which IMO is the best noodle dish on the menu anyway. The Pad Thai is very traditional & has great flavor. The Pad Siew is a wide noodle with a beautiful, rich sauce, traditional veggies, & your choice of meat (or no meat). They actually can accommodate vegetarian requests for many of the menu options, so Thai is often a favorite choice of vegetarians everywhere (just make sure your dish doesn't include fish sauce if you're a novice). All their curries are incredible to me, some of the best I've had, including my own. If you're not into the heat, stick to the Yellow Curry. If you can take some heat, then go for the Green Curry, though I will add the caveat that the Green Curry can be hotter on some nights than it is on others. If you can really take some HEAT, then go as high as you like. The Panang Beef is among my favorite dishes of all time anywhere (it can be made with other meats or tofu). It's definitely got kick, but the peanut flavored curry is out of this world. The Yellow Curry is beautifully delicate with layers of flavor, usually made like a stew with meat & potatoes. The Green Curry is exactly like I'd make it if I had the time to do my own paste like I used to, with Thai eggplant & that unique aromatic smell & hint of flavor that comes from the lime leaves. For dessert, when they have it, I always try to indulge myself with some Mango Sticky Rice. It's made with just the right amount of sticky, perfectly sweet, & is topped with fresh mango slices. To drink, they have a full bar, a good selection of beers (including some Thai & other Asian offerings), a decent wine list, & the ever popular Thai Iced Tea, the classic Ceylon tea, very sweet, with milk or cream floated on top (I've never asked what kind of milk product they use, but it's as good as any I've had). If you don't like curries then I don't know why you'd be going for Thai food, but they have several other offerings on the menu that don't use curry. If you walk in the door & are looking for someone to shower you with rose petals & kowtow, you'll be disappointed. However, if you come in & a hostess isn't at the door, walk in & make eye contact, maybe say, "Hello!" They'll take good care of you. I've been to Wild Thaiger literally dozens of times & have never had the kind of horror-show experiences some mention here! I've had to grab someone's attention from time to time, maybe ask for the check once or twice, but for the most part the service is good & the people are kind. It's a small place. The outside is probably bigger than the inside, which in Phoenix is a little crazy, but they'll do their best to accommodate you with the staff they have on hand. If you live close enough or are downtown on your way home, you can always call & order take-out. I find their food to be just as good the next day (if not better) & I often enjoy leftovers straight out of the refrigerator if I can't wait 2 minutes for the microwave. If you can't enjoy their food in your own home, then maybe you just don't like Thai food because Wild Thaiger makes some of the best. I've probably been to every Thai joint in Arizona, as well as restaurants up & down California & in Seattle & Vancouver as well. Wild Thaiger is top notch! read more

My friends were wanting Thai food and I suggested we go to Wild Thaiger, since it's so good. So we walk in, it's not very busy. Several open tables. The hostess says to wait and runs into the kitchen to talk to a woman putting take out food into bags, she slowly comes back and says "we're understaffed and it will be about 10min before a waiter can get to us". I said that's fine, and asked can we just go sit at the empty table of four then and we'll wait. She looked at me like I said something foreign and refused and said no. I said we can't be seated at the empty table for our party? At this point I'm getting mad and say to her I don't understand why you're refusing to seat us and can wait but you want us to stand in front of the hostess desk. I said never mind, we're leaving, never have been refused to be seated before. She didn't answer, gave me a dirty look and we walked out. I've never experienced anything like that. It's not my fault your understaffed on a weekend, you could have easily seated us with no problem. Absolute horrendous customer service. I've been to your place many times and will not be returning after that. read more

This place was highly recommended by our friends and we were hoping to also like it. First off, I called and asked if I could bring a small birthday cake for my husband's birthday. The lady on the phone said it was not an issue. We got there and it was packed on a Friday night. The hostess said it would be 20 minutes for a table. Literally two seconds later, there was a four person table cleared. I asked for the table and she got someone to clean it for us. The place was busy and noisy. The menu was limited and average priced for most items. I craved noodles so ordered the Pad-Seiw. The noodles were alright. Somehow seems like there should be basil in the dish and not a bunch of cauliflower. The hubby had the bbq chicken with coconut rice. Later our server later came back to tell us that they were going to charge us 5 dollars for bringing our own cake. Nice how that was not mentioned on the phone or when she first took the cake to the fridge for us. So sadly we will not be returning. Thai Rama has much better food and service. read more

The food here was off the charts, but the service was slow and we were kept waiting for drinks, and even a box. The server only checked on us 2 times and the busser did most of the work. I would recommend this place if you want delicious food, but only if you're not in a hurry! The atmosphere was awesome also. It was hot in Phoenix at the time, but the patio fans and sprayers were awesome. read more

Visited during a weekday lunchtime. I was enticed by their description on google, "sleek and contemporary". Was very disappointed upon entering. They would need a major renovation before calling themselves sleek and contemporary!! I ordered the Pad Thai which was only mediocre at best. I don't believe they made the chicken to order as it was very chewy and tough, like it was reheated in the microwave. The service was pretty good, not a long wait for seating or service. I was so excited to find a new Thai restaurant that I could take my hubby to but I will have to say I will not be returning. read more

I went Sunday night February 18, 2018 with friends for dinner. We asked the server for a description of various dishes, At best, we got one-word descriptions. She clearly was not interested in helping us. We had no drink refills the entire meal. Upon getting ready to pay and leave the server disappeared for at least 15 minutes with our credit cards. Now I am going to have to put a fraud alert on my credit card because who only knows what she was doing with my credit card. We asked to speak to a manager which took another 15 minutes. We finally got someone named Dave, who was indifferent about our complaints. I will never go there again. read more

Went there on a first friday night, they were slammed but the waitress was still very attentive. We ordered pad thai, tom ka gai and sticky rice, all three were delicious! Great patio too. read more

...we stopped in for lunch on a Friday at 11:30 AM while visiting from Tucson to see a Lana Del Rey/Courtney Love concert. The front desk clerk at the hotel we were staying at recommended this place highly. She was from Seattle and said she understood good Thai food. We trusted her and showed up promptly at 11:30. By noon there was a line out the door and around the corner. The staff was friendly and efficient and the owner/manager was directing the action which gave the whole experience a sense of organizational calm. Anticipation was high and we were not disappointed. The food was awesome! The spring rolls were light, fresh, crisp and the wrap was flaky delicate pastry like. The curry chicken was spiced just right and delicious. The Thai egg flower soup was perfect and had a definite kick to it. The coconut ice cream was delicious fresh and homemade. Absolutely the best Thai food I have had since moving from Portland, Oregon to Tucson in 2007. I will definitely be hitting this place up again next time I am in Phoenix. Highly recommended! read more

This place is elite as hell. This is prime rib in the form of rice noodles. Do you hear me? This is the place that is everything you could desire and more in the form of a restaurant. This is what McDonald's would be if it sold McGriddles all day long. The service is small, yet attentive. The minimalism involved at The Wild Thaiger is one that is subtle, yet can move mountains. Words cannot express any further at the moment. I give all praises and blessing to the cooks and staff. I'm pretty sure it's just one dude cooking all this shit but kudos to him. Try the Pad Thai or anything along the lines of Decha. read more

Only because I can't give them 0 stars. They really need to get it together. Supposedly they do not take reservations, but they were unable to seat us. This would be fine if they didn't have 5 empty "reserved" tables. (In fact, we were told there was no where to even wait and when we tried to order a beer at the bar, we were told that someone might be able to get it in 5-10 minutes. After 15 minutes we gave up and went outside without so much as a water.) The hostess let us know several times that they were understaffed, but with only 12 tables and 4 waitstaff it shouldn't have been an issue. 40 minute of standing around and they finally pulled together two open tables and sat our "large party" of 5. They then proceeded to tell us that it would "be a while" until someone would be out to take our order, and no they wouldn't be able to take our drink orders now. Then, we had to watch while our server took orders from a party of 13 who weren't even completely seated yet! At this point, we took the hint and headed over to the Phoenix Public Market Cafe!! I don't care if they are featured on every food network show, until they figure out how to run a restaurant (and lose the attitude) we won't be back! read more

The food was okay. I felt like the dishes we had didn't have enough flavor. Tastes kind of bland. Thai food should be strong with flavor and I didn't get that. However the customer service was great. read more

I really like the service and food. The atmosphere is really nice as well. My only issue was that there is a fish tank there and i saw the wait staff cleaning it and sticking their hands in it. I hope they washed their hands up to their elbows after words! Fish tanks are nasty!! read more

The panang and chicken curry are delicious. The dragon eggs are original and I like their green tea. Unfortunately the service is really lacking. We were here on a non busy night and the table service was very slow. It was disappointing especially for a restaurant that made diners drive-ins and dives. read more

It's easy to forget how a great hostess sets the tone for a meal...sadly, it seems this hostess did too as she tried to meet her needs, not the customers...too late now...taking the food to go... After multiple requests for a darker area were pretty much unaccommodated... Hopefully the food is worth the hassle. read more

Food: 4.5 stars. Service: 2.5 stars. Excellent food, decor and presentation. Seafood panang curry includes jumbo shrimp, oysters, scallops and squid; it does not come with enough rice though for the curry. Mediocre service. I really want to give this place 4-5 stars, but the long wait (even on a busy Saturday night) ruins the whole dining experience for hungry people. We had to wait 45min for our seafood panang curry and pad thai while the table next to us that seated 10min after us got their appetizer, soup and main dish before us. One waiter seemed to be doing everything from being in the kitchen to serving food to asking how things are and working the cash register (he was awesome!). Hostess at the front door did not have any personality at all, and didn't say anything or come by throughout the night. Another waiter only came by once to fill our water, and that was when we were almost done with our meal. read more

The more I think about our experience at this restaurant last night the fewer stars I'm able to apply. We arrived on time and had to wait for our table. Not that big of a deal except for our table sat empty for 15 to 20 minutes before they actually sat us at the table and the restaurant was not full. When they sat us, it was a good 15 minutes before anyone came over to us. It took us another 20 minutes to get water and once they finally took our order 3 appetizers came out along with the first person's dinner. There are 8 of us total and over the course of the next 15 minutes a dinner here and a dinner there came out. The 8th dinner came out when the rest of us were completely done. Our server thought the way to handle this was bt cracking jokes and buying a drink for that a person, not taking care of his dinner. Poorly handled from start to finish. And on top of it all the food was meh at best. My first visit will definitely be my last and I won't recommend to the place to anyone ever. Too bad, because I've heard good things about this place. And for the record I post positive reviews regularly and negative reviews rarely. read more
