    Avocado fresh rolls
    Bri M.

    We ordered food for pickup. The spicy pad thai was, indeed, very spicy! Flavor was good, but we added some additional lime juice we had at home. Husband really enjoys spicy food, but he was glad we didn't try the Thai spicy. Portion size was reasonable. We also got avocado fresh rolls, which were phenomenal. Staff was great - we arrived way earlier than the estimate provided by DoorDash and they bumped us up in line. Prices seemed a little high, not sure if using the DoorDash app for pickup may have contributed to that since we have never done that before.

    STK Ninja fam! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Quiet. Just what a ninja needs to work. Although we were accompanied by great music. Sounds like traditional Thai mingled with steel guitars, lofi, psychedelic turntables and holy melodies of a distant and beautiful land.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was blurry eyed from the night's prior mission, and oblivious to all but the good smells escaping a slightly cracked door opening to La's Thai Cuisine. I had room to lay down my sword in this boat sized palace! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I felt at ease, blending in with the usual crowd, which was lessened, post holiday observance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But the service was attentive, pleasant and what was sorely needed after a hard job well done. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The feel and sight of the wood was akin to sitting upon the last higakikaisen boat to Osaka, sans smell of the ocean waters and the sight of the sea tortoise traveling, observable thanks to the bright gold sun and icy clear waters. A warming and beautiful presence, to accompany the smells and the smiles.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I needed a Thai classic to start, a Singha to fully take in the dining room prior to ordering and enjoying bangohan, Japanese for dinner service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Decor looked familiar, some art pieces collected from this corner and that corner of Thailand.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The tall server, Brendan, sent me over to pick a seat, and my kunoichi bodyguard sat in the best vantage point to counter any surprise attack. Lisa, also serving, was busy but acutely aware of the two ninja in the corner. Lisa and Brendan took great care of us, as well as the numerous guests and lovers of the Thai cuisine. We carefully laid ankle snares when our two servers weren't looking, which was near impossible, we were almost caught! The floors were clear of debris, which made it very difficult to lay our wire rope traps and caltrops, ninja life is never going to be easy. However, service never faltered, with the two capable servers floating and coasting, we were never without cool water, questions answered or guidance on what was good. My kunoichi doesn't eat lemon, so they gladly provided a different water for her to imbibe at a moments notice. Very kindly! Our meal was timely, very aesthetically pleasing and extended our culinary appreciation of Thai cuisine. We see why so many artisans, samurai, merchants, farmers and nobility enjoy this style of food. A ninja star for great service! Here was the order: We took in the Coconut Soup first, and its most efficient heating vessel was familiar and welcome. TOM KHA KAI, my guy! Starting a mission on an empty stomach will get you killed. So this soup is the opposite. It gives LIFE. The sour was so enjoyable, perfect texture on the moist chicken toriniku, wonderful marriage of flavor at the perfect temperature. Galangal and lemongrass, well seasoned and halfway through our enjoyment we were quickly surprised and attacked by... LISA! She nearly slayed me with her wonderful smile and I found her hands not bearing the dreaded dagger nor reaching sword, but instead a steaming dish of PANANG CURRY and in the opposite hand, an order of some robust Pork SPICY BASIL!! SPICY BASIL sauce could be jarred. And sold at their leisure. Peppery and assertive but light upon the tongue, sweet and bold, the fruits and vegetables hungrily drinking up said flavors for out reciprocal hunger. So good, although we sadly enjoyed this dish and its artistry after opening with PANANG... PANANG curry won over my kunoichi bodyguard, it was her first visit to the flavors of its namesake's region. The peanut gracefully crunched with the tender beef, and folded in hot rice made all ninja nod their heads silently in appreciation. A ninja star for PANANG, which is my Thai favorite, a star for this cherished curry! Another ninja star for each dish. STICKY RICE WITH MANGO was next. This purple rice was sweet, sticky and just a perfect note to conclude the night. Mingling flavors, freshness of the fruit, playful texture of the well crafted rices all was under the plentiful coconut cream sauce, the eastern cousin to the anglaise. Knife work was tight and conveniently made the fruit ergonomic. Ninja Star for Culinary Ninjutsu Glad to be reunited with Thai flavors once again, it was an honor to enjoy the spice of this family. May they live forever. If you would like to execute your hunger, you had better contact the lords and ladies of LA'S THAI CUISINE. Real, authentic and made with a ninja love that spans generations.

    Fresh rolls with peanut sauce
    Sandra F.

    The staff and service here could not be better. But unfortunately the food falls a little short (at least what I tried). We ventured from our favorite Thai place nearby to try something different. Let me start by saying my husband ordered pad Thai and liked it (I thought it was a bit sweet). I also enjoyed the Thai Coffee. As far my order, I'm a huge fan of larb but their larb was not good. The chicken was not finely chopped to distribute the tangy and spicy flavors as it should be. There were large, dry chicken chunks. Instead of having the larb on shredded cabbage to add texture, they used American mixed greens (not crunchy) and tomatoes (weird). I tried chopping the salad a bit myself but I couldn't finish eating it because it lacked flavor and was so dry. I then ordered the fresh rolls to have something else to eat. They were standard but the peanut sauce was light in color, not great, and was SUPER sweet and not that much peanut flavor. Perhaps the other dishes are amazing but, since larb is my favorite, I will not be back. Again kudos to the staff for being so super nice and helpful. I wish I could give a better review.

    Vegetable Pad Thai bell pepper, yellow onion, gluten-free, house-made pad thai sauce, small rice noodles, eggs, crushed peanuts etc.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was functional. The server asked for my order and delivered the food. She had no interest in discussing with me the ingredients. She told me to Google the recipe. On the Internet, the sauce includes peanut butter, so if that's true, some people have allergies. In addition, another customer came in before closing and he had to say that he would be quick. In summary, I wish servers at restaurants would be more friendly. I can cook for myself at home. Closed 2:30 PM to 4 PM.

    Elicia N.

    Great service--attentive, accommodating, and genuinely welcoming. The fresh roll was delicious, with a wonderful, light peanut sauce that complemented it perfectly. The wonton soup was refreshing, and while the broth could have had a bit more depth, the wontons themselves were absolutely delicious. Personally, I could have done without the water chestnuts, but that's just a preference. To top it off, I ordered a side of noodles and beef, which was the perfect way to end the meal--flavorful, satisfying, and with plenty left over for later. Definitely worth stopping in if you're in the neighborhood!

    Duck curry
    Carol E.

    - Went on a week night - [[HIGHLIGHT]]Casual, quiet calm atmosphere[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] - Excellent friendly service, attentive staff - Authentic Thai food, huge portions and adjustable spicy level - Ordered 3 dishes and a Thai ice tea: total just under $50

    Papaya Salad
    Sonya E.

    I love supporting small businesses, especially if the establishment is a woman-owned small business. I found La Thai's cuisine on a Yelp search and headed that way from my hotel in the Biltmore district. The drive was definitely a stretch, but it was worth it. When I arrived, a nice lady greeted me from the front reception desk and quickly sat me down. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is beautifully decorated and during the early dinner service, they were only using one portion of the restaurant[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The other side was sectioned off and I imagine it's a preferred side once it's get busy for dinner as it has a romantic design to it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the following as described on their menu: 1) Thai BBQ -- grilled meat marinated with Thai herbs and spices. Served with sauteed vegetables and cilantro-jalepeno sauce. Choose Chicken or Pork. ($15) 2) Papaya Salad -- fresh green papaya tossed with grilled shrimp (2), tomato, and carrots in lime dressing ($14) 3) Pineapple Curry -- pineapple red curry paste, coconut milk, pineapple, carrots, bell peppers, tomatoes, snow peas, and kaffir lime leaves ($15) The pineapple curry was the highlight for me. I enjoyed the creaminess of the curry with the kitchen's own take on traditional herbs and spices. The papaya salad wasn't what I expected -- they're not able to modify it like most Thai or Lao restaurants so it's dressed in just a lime based dressing (missing the fermented fish, fish sauce, etc. for me). The service was excellent and the servers did a great job managing the floor -- attentive but not overbearing. Would return to try other items on the menu.

    Chicken Pad Thai  - this was at a level 1 and was very good.
    Mon-Cheri H.

    The service was great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was very nice even for the afternoon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a well designed space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our first time in and it will definitely be a for sure to go spot for very good Thai food. The green curry still had some heat to it, everything was cooked perfectly and the green curry sauce was delicious. It's been about 10 years since I have had green curry this good!

    Pad see ew
    Christy L.

    Best pad see ew I've ever had! My fiance enjoyed his orange chicken as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Quiet atmosphere watching the dust storm and rain out a large window.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Alex our server was very friendly and helpful!

    Kung Pao Chicken
    Betty C.

    Decent food, good service in an unassuming location and pricing that did not break the bank. The ambiance is lacking a bit of warmth as the ceilings are very high and it is not full of tables so it feels a tad strange. We ordered crab rangoon and pork crispy egg rolls. Both were very good. Large wontons with plenty of real crab and a decent dipping sauce. The pork egg rolls were the bomb. Very crispy with a good amount of flavor in the filling. We had Ginger Delight, Orange Beef, Spicy Eggplant Chicken and Kung Pao Chicken. All tasted good however one should not order Kung Pao at a Thai restaurant. They just don't make it as flavorful as the Chinese do! It was much more on the light side if one can imagine that. The ginger delight was very fresh and flavorful. The orange beef was also solid. The best dish however was the spicy eggplant with chicken. Great flavors and if you like hot order it a 5. They only offer 4 levels of heat and it is not spicy enough for spice lovers. Service was very, very friendly and efficient. We will be back.

    Pad Thai and orange chicken
    Brittany H.

    I didn't get the girls name at the front but she was young. Really friendly. Came here on a Saturday evening. They were really busy and I had to wait a little longer but the food was worth it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The location is really nice and has plenty of seating as you wait.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered fried rice, chicken pad Thai, orange chicken, and vegetable egg roll. Everything was so fresh and hot when I got home. I ordered takeout. Definitely recommend

    Spicy noodle
    April A.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is allot bigger than it looks from the outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food came out pretty quick, everything was yummy. The coconut shrimp was really good. Love that there apps come in different portion sizes. The pad see ew could have had more flavor but overall was pretty good.

    Fried banana with coconut ice cream
    Kat V.

    First time at this north Scottsdale location. We went to the one in south Scottsdale before. There are not many people on the weekend so parking is easy. The food is good but the desserts is so good. Fried banana with coconut ice cream is tasty. Pandan custard with warm bread (I think this is a special item) is so delicious.

She's from Korea and lived many years in Los Angeles. Currently, she lives here in Phoenix. With our backgrounds, we know Authentic Thai Food. One bite, I was disappointed. The second bite, confirmed the taste was NOT authentic. Many complex ingredients were missing! Where was the tamarind subtle flavor? Where was the Kaffir Lime Leaves? Where was the fish sauce? Where was the thick gravy sauce? No use of cornstarch.... If you want Authentic Thai Food, please do not go to this restaurant. However, if you are a person who likes plain food, with no depth of Thai flavors, this is your place. My friend and I just played with our food after the second bite. Even the Thai Iced Tea tasted like a premixed drink that came from a carton. It was like a Chai Tea watered down by water and ice. I took the food home, hoping that I would be able to doctor it up. Nope! I didn't even bother to put it in the refrigerator and immediately place it in the trash. Very disappointed. As for the service, it was very questionable because no one even SAW that we went eating. Finally, after 15 minutes or so, I say our food was okay. I lied!! And asked for the check, like we wanted to escape an establishment that was based on a sham. The decor was nice and the location was quiet for an afternoon weekend. That should have been our clue to avoid the place. You can definitely get plain Americanized Thai food from this place.

    Legitimately the worst Thai food I've eaten in Arizona. I am shocked at the number of good reviews…read morethey have. The pad Thai literally had zero flavor other than the chili they put on it. No lime, no tamarind, nothing but soggy, sad, sterile noodles and chili oil. The drunken noodles were slightly better because there was a hint of basil. No love, no flavor, nothing Thai about this garbage. The Deep Fried Veggies Rolls were obviously premade and microwaved. Garbage. The bbq pork fried rice was the only thing that was "ok". It barely qualifies as acceptable but it is way better than the noodle dishes. The fact that this place has so many positive reviews means that people either are being paid for reviews or have never had remotely decent Thai food in their lives. Stay away.

The servers were quick and polite an had the order ready to go when I arrived for pick up. There were plenty of seats, light music, and cozy lighting, definitely feels like authentic Thai food. Chicken Pad Thai (no tofu): 5/5 This one is the reason you come back. Perfect comfort balance of sweet/savory, chewy noodles that don't go weird in a takeout box, and solid chicken in every bite. If pad thai is your go-to order, this is a very safe (and very happy) decision. Pad See Ieww: 3.5/5 Not bad at all--still hits that cozy, savory noodle craving--but it didn't have the same, "I need this again tomorrow" magic as the pad thai. More of a good side character than the main event. Flavor just didn't hit as well as the pad Thai. Deep Fried Veggie Rolls: 3.5/5 Sauce is definitely what makes this dish! The outside was crunchy and inside was cooked perfectly, just not what you'd expect from a veggie roll. The flavor for me wasn't as full. Pro tip: order the chili sauce! It's the little add-on that turns "this is good" into "wait...why is this so much better now?" I'm already plotting a round two... and yes, the chili sauce will be coming home with me again.
