    Seafood soup
    Buddyboy James M.

    Delightful ambiance very delectable seafood soup haven't eaten like that in a while chose the right place to spoil myself today worth every penny

    This was good good food! The egg rolls were the best my wife and I had ever had. The curry was good, though my only minor critique would be that the temperature was a bit much so that it took awhile to cool off before we could appreciate our masaman and pineapple/green curries full flavor. The service was prompt and friendly. You got a sense that people there in this Thursday night had been there for years. The bathrooms were very clean. The artwork on the walls was beautiful. This is a must go spot!

    House Pad Thai
    Chris A.

    I really don't have many words on this restaurant because it's that good. Every time I've been here, the experience is exceptional, the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, and the food is incredible. I had my favorite Thai place back home in Los Angeles, but im pretty sure this is my new spot in Phoenix. My meal was, and continues to be, Fried Tofu appetizer, House Pad Thai, and a Thai Iced Tea. That combo, for me, is absolutely perfect. The perfect amount of food, with such a wonderful assortment of flavors, makes for the most enjoyable dining experience.

    Larb Salad- chicken
    Stephen L.

    Came here for dinner one night and became one of my favorite Thai restaurants here in Phoenix. Originally I would go to Chanpen and Glai Baan, but would recommend this place for quality, taste, and price. Pad Thai- 5/5: has the perfect balance of sweet and savory for the rice noodles. Pad see ew-5/5 - a stir fried noodle dish with your choice of meat cooked with soy sauce. Green curry- 4- the coconut sauce was a little watery to my liking, maybe some corn starch to thicken the sauce, but still flavorful Crispy chicken with spicy cream sauce- 3.5/5- this was like their version of orange chicken, good, but something I can pass to try another dish. In terms of their ambiance and service, I would rate them 5/5 as well. Definitely coming back

    What I ordered : Sapparo Hot sake Entrees: Thai egg rolls Pork royal yellow curry I've been coming here for five years and I still think it is the best place for Curry in Arizona. I've had around 15 places and still nothing compares to the curry here all the vegetables are always soft as heck and the curry itself so flavorful it's addicting I believe the only downside is sometimes the rice is overcooked and it's mushy as well as it does get pretty hot in here so it makes it pretty miserable to eat, sometimes especially in the really peak high temp days I always recommend food to my friends it's so well-made

    Pad See Ew with beef
    Amy R.

    This place is sooooo good! My gf and I tried it out as a last min Thai food craving . The inside is super cute and the parking is a bit small but I believe there is more parking in the back. Service was also very nice and quick! The pad see ew with beef... delicious!!!! 10/10 We also got the coconut soup with chicken and also 10/10. I highly recommend trying this hidden gem!

    Fresh Spring Rolls
    Shannon L.

    The food is excellent. Service Phenomenal. Today was the house Pad Thai. Fresh shrimp rolls luv with the Thai fish sauce. Thai ice tea with coconut milk excellent. I gave 4 stars because the charge for soda water same price as a soda. I'm seen a few restaurants do this lately but normally they tell you. Soda water from the machine has been free at most restaurants. I now will ask because I've been to a few lately that are doing this it's simply carbonated water and charging now price of a soda. Still recommend as a solid restaurant.

    chicken Pad Thai
    Ekta P.

    my favorite thai spot in all of phoenix. take out or dine in, their quality is the best and they get the spice levels and consistency perfect. generous portions too. we love the staff here. they remember us every time we come in. my comfort spot

    Royal yellow curry with tofu
    Bree P.

    If I could go to Thai e-san every day I would! I cannot recommend this place enough. Every time I have a friend or family member visit, this is a necessary spot I have to take them. The workers are so kind and very personable. Rex has been my server multiple occasions and is so kind and funny. The food is always consistently good and never disappoints. I have tried the yellow curry, green curry, pad Thai, red curry, and the Pa naeg curry. All of them are delicious with very different flavors. The yellow curry is my favorite and a fan favorite among the many people I have brought here. This place feels like a hole in the hall find and doesn't feel like a big cooperate franchise which I love. Service, food, vibes, staff, are all excellent - never misses!

    Thai egg rolls is a must!

Upon my approach, the exterior was so beautifully curated that I initially mistook it for an exclusive, private small garden. I stopped at Glai Baan and ventured inside, finding the dining room wonderfully bustling with a lively, fashionable crowd a thoroughly excellent sign. The venue offers the most delightful arrangements; one may choose to dine within the main room or enjoy a seat adjacent to the exquisite flower beds and lush, cool greenery. There is also a beautifully structured small bar. The entire aesthetic is nothing short of exceptional, and I found myself quite enamored with the decor. I escorted myself to an excellent table facing the bar and requested a traditional Thai Iced Tea to begin. The bartender was an absolute credit to the establishment immensely warm, professional, and genuinely friendly. The hospitality here is truly remarkable; the staff handles their patrons with the gracious care of family, which I found immensely pleasing. For my dinner entrée, I selected the Kanom Jeeb, which bears a marvelous resemblance to the finest dim sum found in elite Chinese establishments. The kitchen executed the order with commendable timing, and upon its elegant presentation, my evening meal was rendered entirely complete. The seamless blend of sophisticated flavor, beautiful botany, and refined hospitality was an absolute treat. I shall most certainly be returning to this charming sanctuary in the near future

    I have heard so much about this place over the past year that I had to try it for myself. I get it!…read moreIt was delicious! Service was wonderful! I asked for a chef tasting of non-spicy options (the Arai Kodai. Mine came to $67 as I wanted extra tastings). Isaiah asked my preferences then went to town! His dance moves while he entered my order were a great touch! The aroma inside is exquisite! Everything around me looked so fresh! I loved seeing all the food around me. I see why everyone loves the green mango salad (yam mamuang boran). Delicious! So flavorful! Just know not to expect lettuce. The fried chicken was tasty but I wished I had asked for not fried options. That's on me. It was certainly good. Very crispy and flavorful. Next time I would just prefer something more unique than wings. The bok choy with garlic (pad pak twang toong) is so good! Very light and tasty. I asked for a side of white rice to enjoy it with. I ended with Naem Khao Tawt. It was again flavorful and zesty. I would have avoided more crispy and pork with this one but again that's on me. It was still tasty. Next time I would ask for more grilled options and something with beef and noodles. The scallops and buffalo tartare sounded fantastic! Would definitely want those in the future! They were out of buffalo tonight. The dueling brule dessert was so good? I'm particular the purple one! So tart! Really wonderful experience and made new friends while here. Parking is a bit of a nuisance, but after 15 minutes I got lucky and snagged a street spot close by out front. Otherwise, it's either street parking, meter parking or nearby garages. Will definitely be back to try more dishes.

    Fried bamboo - quite tasty, shoestring thin crispy snack and also good to top your other dishes…read more Pork belly curry - very tasty and when you get a crispy skin bite, heaven. Mango salad - delightful. I could have this for a light meal alone. Stir fried crab - not as great as I'd hoped. There's nothing wrong with it but crab is delicate and sweet but in this sauce that is lost. Noodles w char soy - no. The pork was so overcooked and dry it caused me to find the restroom to spit it out. There's nothing wrong noodles tastes a bit like burnt marshmallows (or I'm having a stroke) All in all a good restaurant with 1 of 5 dishes disappointing. For two people 5 dishes is too much. 4 would be good unless someone's in a GLP1 because they're pretty big.

As a proud Yelp Elite, I decided to give this place a chance because the reviews were the best I saw in the city! The place was busy on a Sunday night and it is small but I never say customers waiting too long. There were two larger parties seated so the food took some time but nothing outrageous. We started with the calamari, spring rolls, and crab wontons. The calamari were the biggest I've ever seen and very delicious! Unfortunately, I did not enjoy the spring rolls or crab wontons. I feel like those are hard to get wrong but I was not a fan of the cream cheese that was used and it was a lot of it, barely any imitation crab. For entrees, I had the spicy basil and substituted ground chicken for chicken breast, my personal preference. I ordered level 2 spice but it was still a bit spicy for me. Trying a new Thai place is always hit or miss with spice levels so I actually thought I was being safe with 2. Additionally, the chicken was so bland. Some Thai places season their chicken, some do not and unfortunately Pad Thai Cafe missed that mark. My partner ordered the short rib curry dish and my goodness, it smelled like heaven and tasted just as good. I don't eat beef but had to taste it and it was divine! He also ordered spice level 2 and his dish was not as spicy as mine. Overall, the rest of the party enjoyed their food and there were good flavors there so I'd definitely recommend the entrees, not so much the starters.
