| - I have lived in the Phoenix metro area for 2.5 years now, and when I first moved here, I relied heavily on Yelp reviews and friends to tell me of good places to go to. Unfortunately, Yelp wasn't used in the recommendation for this place, but a friend of mine took me here once and I thought everything was amazing. I've been coming back ever since. Last night, my fiancé and I went there for dinner. For the appetizer, we ordered the Combination Special for two, which has a lot of favorites on it - the satay chicken, thai egg rolls, and my personal favorite, this little meat pie thing, which I don't know the name of. LOL My entree was a personal favorite of mine, the spicy noodle, and my fiancé ordered the pad thai, both equally delicious in their own right.
To give a little background of this place, it's own by this cute couple who have owned the restaurant for over thirty years. The husband does all the cooking, and the wife takes care of the front. They take time off every now and then, so when that happens, their children help out, and the daughter looks just like her mom. They're such a sweet family. Each time we come here, there aren't too many people seated, but they have quite the following. They get a lot of to-go orders and a lot of regulars. Each time we've gone there for dinner, they've always been super friendly. One time, my fiancé ordered something other than Pad Thai, and the lady said, "What? No Pad Thai today?" It was funny and amazing she remembered because we had not been there in almost a year.
The location is in a weird place, and it's a little hole-in-the-wall, but I often find that the hole-in-the-wall places often serve the best food ever. The best thing about this Thai restaurant is that they don't rely heavily on dry spices to spice up your dish: they actually use FRESH Thai peppers to help spice things up, which is something I prefer. So if you haven't been here yet.....WTF are you waiting for? Get over there already!!!! Oh and for dessert, you must try the coconut ice cream. It's not over-powering and not too sweet. It's just right, with salted peanuts on top. Yummo.
