    Everything was perfection at Thai Recipe Bistro. The server took excellent care of us, and we thought the server robot was very cute. Portions were impressive, and I loved my massaman curry (extra spicy.) They were great about accommodating dietary restrictions, and the dining area was well decorated and clean. We'll definitely be back.

    Thai Recipe Bistro is a modern restaurant with some of the best Thai food I've ever tasted. The service is outstanding. We came here for lunch with our daughter and granddaughter. They provided a high chair for our granddaughter and offered to pick up some things she'd dropped. The lunch menu provides a very good and varied selection of dishes priced by the protein you select. I had the drunken noodle medium spice. It was great! Just the right amount of noodles, veggies and chicken. My wife had the ginger on the lunch menu with chicken. She said this is among the two or three best Thai restaurants she's tried (and we like Thai food). Our daughter comes here often. She and her husband really like Thai Recipe Bistro. I look forward to returning to Thai Recipe Bistro

    Do you want some absolutely massive portions with ridiculously reasonable prices? Do you want quick service? Do you want a nice place to gather while you catch up with friends? Then go here for one of the best Thai spots in the valley. You don't even have to look at the clock to wait for your order to arrive. I was taken aback by the size of my orders. I had enough food to eat there and take home. The Tom Kha is so rich, warm, and served in a special way. The Pad Thai is offered in different spice levels! Love that.

    Wow!! I'm so glad I stopped by, this place is incredible of Thai food. I ordered pad see ew, the Kao soi and a Thai milk tea. Everything was 10/10! Authentic with large servings. Service was top notch. Bathrooms were clean. Parking was a little tight but we still found a spot. Will definitely come back.

    The food was delicious and portions were excellent! Love a good restaurant where you don't leave hungry! The interiors are cute and the service is excellent! A gem in the middle of no where in the outskirts of phoenix! If you're in the area make sure to try them out. Want to try their khao soi next! Love the cute robot servers!

    Great food! Our first time in Phoenix and we lucked out choosing this restaurant right out of airport. The portion sizes are generous. We ordered drunken noodles with chicken, pineapple fried rice, salt and pepper wings and a lunch special of yellow curry with tofu Everything tasted good

    We were in Phoenix on a business trip and went to another Thai restaurant, but without a reservation the wait was one hour and 20 minutes so we decided to try this restaurant. I'm so glad we did! The food was AMAZING. The menu was extensive. The food was fresh and the portions were large. We had plenty of leftovers. The restaurant had a steady stream of customers it was nicely decorated. The waitress was very friendly and funny. Once the food was ready, the server walks alongside a robot with a happy cat face that is carrying all the dishes and the server will take the dishes and put it on your table. I got the Kao Soi special (mild) and it was tasty. Lots of chicken, lots of flavor. Would go back if I ever visit Phoenix again.

    Why am I just finding this place?? We had pad see eew and kao soi chicken. First of all the portions are huge and haven't compromised on taste. The staff is prompt, friendly and patient. The place is nicely decorated and clean. The orange chicken was insanely huge . The guy next to us ordered it and barely ate it. He didn't pack the leftover but said it was delicious? Hmm okay. I'm definitely coming back to try other items.

    FOOD WAS AMAZING and perfect amount to share family size with some friends or family. The drinks were also delicious like the thai milk tea. Definitely recommend this place. Service was great, loved our server! There's a bunch of booths to sit comfortably as well.

    The food here was super delicious. All of our dishes were cooked well and tasted exactly as you'd hope from good Thai cuisine. It can get pretty busy at any time of the evening so be prepared for a wait and for them to take some time to check back around with you. However, the tom yum wings were a pleasant surprise. I'd recommend trying those out if you're a fan of tom yum. The fried tofu was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We really enjoyed the crab fried rice. It had a good amount of crab mixed in and didn't feel skimpy at all. The tom kha soup was flavorful, filling and would recommend going back for. If you're looking for a good eggplant dish, definitely try theirs. We finished with dessert and tried their sticky rice with coconut ice cream. If you love sticky rice, please make room for this. It's a great spot to come hang out at and eat great food.

    This place has always been my go to for takeout Thai food. I usually order the Rama tofu mild/medium. It has great flavor and enough for at least two meals. Staff is always friendly and helpful during pickup. Would recommend!

    Fried Bananas are so good with coconut ice cream omg. Their pineapple fried rice (I added chicken upcharge$) was so yummy!! Toss was our server and he was just the best. And vibes are so good. The energy was calm and the decor was neat. Would love to come here again

    I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Service is always great and the robot kitty expediter makes my son's day. Portions are huge and food is always amazing. Noodle dishes here are my fave.

The noticeable drop in food quality makes me wonder if there has been a change in management or a new team in the kitchen. Given how underwhelming everything tasted, I likely won't be returning.

There were still about 4 groups still in the restaurant, but was mainly open. I could see this place getting busy during the weekends though, so recommend a res if you're here during peak hours. We started with cold sake and a couple of cocktails. Super cute and yummy drinks, creative and complimented the overall theme. The Asahi beer was huge and came with an ice cold glass, perfect! We got the orange chicken and drunken noodles with added chicken breast. The food was fresh and tasty. I liked that the orange chicken came with rice, and was not overly breaded. The drunken noodles were pretty salty but overall good. These two entrees were enough for two people to take a little bit of leftovers home. Recommend for a nice date night or if looking for some Asian fusion. We'll be back!

We were a party of 12 visiting on vacation, and none of us are from the area. We ordered spam musubi and a chicken skewer as appetizers. Both appetizers arrived well after our entrees had already been served and we had essentially finished eating. Each time we asked about them, we were repeatedly told, "They're coming." Mind you, these are simple appetizers that should not take anywhere near that long to prepare. When we asked for the third time, we finally asked that the appetizers be cancelled since we had already finished our meal. At that point, the gentleman working the front area , tall, with red hair, loudly yelled from across the restaurant, in an extremely rude and confrontational tone, "It's already on the grill!" There was absolutely no reason to speak to paying customers that way. His response was unprofessional, unnecessary, and honestly created a very hostile and uncomfortable feeling during what should have been an enjoyable dinner, especially while our group was on vacation and simply trying to enjoy a meal together. When the appetizers eventually came out, we left them sitting there because we were already done eating and ended up taking them to go. He eventually told us they would be removed from the bill, which we appreciated, but that did not excuse the way the situation was handled. Again, the food was good, but good food does not make up for poor service and especially not for an employee speaking to customers in an aggressive and disrespectful manner. Management should seriously address how customers are treated, because the interaction with this particular employee overshadowed what could have otherwise been a good dining experience for our party of 12.
