    Cute little spot that you could easily miss on a drive by. Cozy atmosphere and wonderful food. Be careful! Their medium (3 out of 5) spice is killer hot for some folks.

    Great Midtown Thai joint specializing in northern Thai cuisine. All the basics are dynamite here, but for an extra special treat, be sure to try the powerfully savory BBQ Thai Chicken.

    Try the Thai BBQ Chicken! An alluring marinade infuses the meat with great flavor, while giving the deeply caramel-colored coating a savory, salty boost - it's one of Michele Laudig's Favorite Dishes! Read more

    Sampler platter is giant. Noodles are okay, broth not as salty as I'm used to.

    Voted the best of Phoenix? Had special, chicken dumplings. Sauce thick and salty, YUCK. Pad thai, THE WORST Portions small for price. I wouldn't have paid $10 for this dinner, cost $20! YUCK!
