    Crab Puffs
    Wiley W.

    The food was absolutely amazing, the pad tai was flavorful and absolutely delicious. The yellow curry was rich and flavorful with a nice aroma. The tai iced tea was sweet and had an excellent flavor, and the crab puffs were creamy and delicious. The woman that took our order was nice and friendly, and the wait time was almost nothing with the food coming in two or three minutes. The restaurant was homey and cozy, it was nice hearing them work in the kitchen. I would definitely recommend and would love to visit again!

    Very easy to order at. The ambiance is minimal but thats ok because its all about the food. The food is good. Would recommend. All food is take out, but if you want you can eat upstairs.

    We came here after movies and we were greeted so kindly by the employees there. The food was delicious. I ordered Thai tea and it was authentic and refreshing. I ordered the yellow curry and it was spicy and perfect! This location is a bit tight but we were told there is another location that has more space. It is clean and organized. They were prompt with our orders

    I'm really glad that I live close to this Thai restaurant. It's some of the best Thai food I have come across. I was greeted promptly by the nice gentleman working at the front. The restaurant bags all food to go. If you would like to dine inside, you're able to take your food upstairs to their designated seating. They do provide plastic plates, utensils and water if you choose to dine upstairs. We got our food to go. The food was ready on time and hot! The food was full of flavor and a favorite amongst my family. On this visit we ordered chicken fried rice, chicken pad Thai, beef pad see ew, fried dumplings and egg rolls. Portions were a good size for sharing. Definitely one of our favorites and we look forward to dinning again soon.

    Located on the East side of Higley Rd facing the street. It's in a small Strip Mall surrounded by several medical businesses. Signage is visible in the parking lot. Parking There are some Handicapped spaces by the door and others shared by neighboring businesses. We arrived when spaces were empty. Ambiance Bare bones 2/5 Small order counter just inside the door with an open galley Kitchen visible behind the counter. A steep staircase on the right leads to the indoor dining area. The loft has a small two seat table, a four seat picnic table and a long bar counter that can accommodate 4-5 if your very friendly ; ) There are 2-3 additional tables outside in-front. Food Food was served fast. 5/5 It came with plastic utensils and styrofoam take home containers. Very fast Foodie. We ordered Thai Tee, Yellow vegetable Curry. The Drunken Noodles were ordered Crazy Hot Thai spice level ! The Thai Tea flavor was ok 3/5 My wife's Yellow Curry tasted more like a Pineapple Curry, very sweet and light in color. I enjoyed the flavor but agreed it wasn't Yellow Curry. 2/5. Pad Kee Mao, (Drunken Noodles) was excellent. I ordered them Thai extremely hot . Complex flavors were spot on and that Crazy Hot Thai level of spice is the way I roll ! 5/5 . Desert was the classic Mango sticky rice and moved to the top of my wife's Coveted #1 Position! 5/5++ Service Excellent service. 5/5 We had our order delivered to our table upstairs by one of the staffs darling 10 yr old family member. Kudos to Mom for teaching her. Given the large number of Thai restaurants in the Valley with atmosphere, seating etc this missed the mark. However if you're happy with Thai fast food for takeout or atmosphere isn't your thing this might fill your needs.

    Cashew chicken
    Greeshma R.

    We wanted to get some Thai food for Friday lunch and found this family owned place in Gilbert. The set up in the inside is cute and you have to order and be seated. The restaurant is very home style and you can go get your napkins, water on your own. They do not have a lunch menu but the pricing is very reasonable. We went with cashew chicken and pad see ew with tofu. The food arrived fresh and the quantity was really good. We went with a 3 spice level and it was perfect. We really enjoyed the food and there was some left to take home as well. This is going to be our to go Thai place, good food and service. What more do you look for?

    Pad See Ew with chicken
    Sara F.

    We stopped in for a random lunch, and although the location is convenient, the staff is so kind and the ambiance and service was great, this gets 3 stars because the food was average at best. Ranking in order, the Pad See Ew was the best, it was steaming hot and you could tell was very fresh. The flat noodles were a bit over done and the flavors were just flat. Next was the Ta Lew roles (vegetable egg rolls) they were good, but a bit mushy inside. I like a vegetable egg roll that you can clearly define the cabbage etc and this one was just kind of, crunchy on the outside and mushy inside. Lastly, the sweet and sour chicken was the least favorite. The chicken was rubbery a bit? Seemed possibly like it was boiled and then cooked with the sauce (which was super runny). Just not the best. Again.. cute place, and the staff were so sweet! We maybe missed the mark on ordering and should have tried a curry but, we probably won't return.

    Inside waiting area for your food

    I'd like to share, this place is a TO-GO-ONLY. They have I believe 2 tables outside, I believe they were black metal tables, not comfortable seating in this heat. I recommend ordering in advance and then going to pickup. The food was alright, but not for the cost. The Thai teas had A LOT of condensed milk in them, they were extremely sweet. If they can just cut back half of what they put in, that would suffice. I got the pad Thai and wonton soup, the wonton soup was pretty big, it had wontons and chicken and vegetables in it, it wasn't bad. My Pad Thai was average. I enjoyed it more when it got cold, I'm just weird like that. My S.O. Got Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodle) and sticky rice with mango. She didn't really enjoy the pad kee mao, barely touched it. But she really liked the stickey rice with mango. We weren't huge fans of this place, we probably won't try again.

    So they not offer chicken satay anymore ? I didn't see available to order online.

    No. They stopped offering it.

    Do they have good vegetarian/ vegan options?

    Yes! Curry with tofu is my fav but you can also get any of the noodle dishes vegetarian.

Mina introduced herself asked about drinks and starters. Ordered Thai tea, pork belly. Mina left to allow more time for selection review. Food 5/5 Order consisted of two Thai Tea (one for the road), two Pork Belly Thai style (one to go), small vegetable soup, Pad Kee Mao Thai Hot, Vegetable yellow curry (to go). Thai Tea was nice as usual. Next visit I'll order Thai Coffee. Pork Belly Thai style is amazing here. Soft flavorful inside with a light pan fried crunch outside. Vegetable soup is delicious. The broth has the DNA of a French Onion soup which was nothing short of amazing. Unexpected. The Pad Kee Mao is my favorite here. Nice use of fresh Vegetables lightly pan fried leaving a crispy bite which contrasts beautifully with the wide rice noodles texture. The diced multi colored peppers, onions, carrot sliver flavors are present in every bite. Complex, yes! I ordered take home for lunch. Vegetable Yellow curry lunch was delicious. Tom tonight everything was on point. I truly enjoy your cooking! Enjoy amazing fresh Thai food by Chef Tom my friends-SYOY!

We grabbed a private table near the window to enjoy the sunset. We ordered the Papaya salad as an appetizer to share, my friend had the Tom Yum soup as an entree and I had the Green Curry spicy. The salad and soup were ordered medium heat. We had water with lemon and shared a Asahi beer. The Papaya salad was delicious, fresh and had a little heat. The Tom Yum soup was excellent, creamy, wonderful coconut and lemon grass flavors. The Green Curry was one of the best curry dishes I've ever had. Deep and complex flavors, creamy coconut offset the heat perfectly. The atmosphere was causal and relaxed. The server was friendly and helpful in answering a few questions we had about the menu. Never had to ask for water refills as service was very prompt. We look forward to returning very soon. Highly recommended for excellent Thai cuisine with bold flavors!

    Ta Lew...what to say…read more.. Clean, friendly staff, comfortable environment and relaxing music, good initial signs. I ordered the red curry chicken with a hot spice level, the usual as you'll know a bite of hades is in order. A fellow diner who ordered moments before us got the food first and was practically done by the time mine and my other diners food came. Granted they were getting busier and as such I can't hold that as a gripe against them. The food itself, meh. Presentation wasn't bad, but the floating red oil was slightly off putting. The chicken was pretty good and was accented by the flashing neon of green peppers and flare orange carrots. Yet the LEGION of bamboo shoots was quite overpowering. The curry itself was not hot (taste) in the slightest, I'd personally pinpoint it as a mild. The curry itself shared much the same flavor as the rice, garlic and sweet notes while lacking the creaminess/thickened texture of a non-soupy curry. Yes, the rice taste was...off. Overall I was not a fan. It's not bad, it just wasn't great. As stated before, the staff was really nice and the place was well cared for, positives for sure. And of course as always this is simply ONE of many menu items and just because this wasn't a winner, it doesn't mean they don't have one. But, I personally wouldn't endorse them on the curry.

The hosts are super friendly and felt lot of positivity entering in. Given the development of egg allergy I am limited to very few options at Asian restaurants. But to my surprise they had an option of removing the egg from the fried rice. So we got the usual pineapple chicken fried rice (forgot to post it) it's definitely a comfort having that. We got the crab puffs and a unique curry (don't skip on this one, I haven't had this anywhere else) the evil jungle princess..it's got shredded cabbage, mushrooms and chicken in coconut milk (that's all too it!) it was amazing! I didn't want the jasmine rice so they give you an option to swap for other things, I went with the steamed rice noodles (oh wow!) that entire combo was amazing! Paired it with the unsweetened cold green tea. We wanted something simple and non- experimental and were glad this place is so close, and the food is just amazing here! Nothing super fancy just good Thai comfort food! Good options of appetizers, mains, noodles, combos, curry's and desserts. To my surprise they even do vegan, gluten free and egg-free which is a plus!

Ordering was super easy, especially through their app. It's convenient to pick anything from the menu and customize your order with all kinds of extra ingredients and add-ons. We ordered the Pad Prig Pow Noodles with chicken and added broccoli, Thai Fried Rice with chicken, and two veggie spring rolls. My wife ordered her noodles at medium heat, and they were perfect that night. Just the right amount of heat without overpowering the flavors. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that the heat definitely builds overnight in the fridge if you have leftovers. The next day they had a pretty good kick! Still completely enjoyable for me, but definitely hotter than the night before. My Thai fried rice was ordered hot, and it was fantastic. The heat level was perfect for me, and I added extra onion, which was honestly perfection. There was so much umami from the flavors they used that I just couldn't stop eating it. I ended up not leaving a single grain of rice behind for leftovers! The veggie spring rolls were just as good. Crispy on the outside with a nice balance of flavors from the vegetables, and paired with the sweet and sour sauce, there really wasn't anything negative to say. Overall, Thai Chili 2 Go is consistent, convenient, and flavorful. The only drawback for me was the wait, but I'm honestly going to chalk that up to them being busy and getting plenty of traffic. If you decide to eat there instead of taking it home, they do have a handful of seating options and even a Freestyle Coke machine, which is a nice bonus. The dining area is pretty open, though, so you don't get a ton of personal space. You almost feel like everyone sitting around you is accidentally forced to make eye contact with each other the whole meal . For us, takeout is probably the way to go, but the food definitely makes this a spot we'll keep coming back to!

I have the TCG2Go app and there's no way to give feedback about a meal. That's a huge tell about how unimportant customer feedback is for them.

But I go back eventually because the flavor and meal taste is the best Thai food in Mesa area.
