| - I just moved from Gilbert Az. to South Phoenix and unfortunately, there are not too many great restaurants here. Thai and Indian are my favorite, so I was delighted to notice this tiny hole-in-the-wall Thai place open up on Broadway just west of 28th St.
You really need to pay attention not to pass this place up. They decor inside is very quaint. They can probably only fit about 15-20 people packed tight, but I love places like this and
I've been sad not to see more cars in front and I finally got to go last night and brought a friend and we both LOVED it! We were they only ones there (at 5:30p) but about 6 other patrons rolled in over the next 30 minutes or so. We pigged out too (hey, I wanted to support the business!). We had green curry with pork, drunken noodles, Tom Kha Gai (coconut/lemon-grass soup) and for desert, we ordered a sticky rice with mango (choices are mango or ice crème...no custard unfortunately), plus they brought us a free fried banana (looked like egg rolls) with chocolate sauce (I had to bring about half of all this home).
Everything was incredibly good. I would give the top-most rating to the soup. The portion of mango on the sticky rice was massive. I'd guess 1/4 pound. I suspect that won't last long once they get established, but who knows. I'm sure they are trying extra hard to please and we were!
The only complaint I have is their Thai coffee was too sweet. Still pretty good, but if I have that problem again, I will let them know. I will definitely go back and hope others will too to ensure they stay survive. A nice little oasis in this Thai-barren desert.
One last note, Thai Basil is one of my favorites and as far as food quality and flavor goes, I would say these two are about the same.
