| - I was driving down Cave Creek Road last week and happened to catch a sign for Thai food as I passed. I was on my way to meet a client so I didn't have time to stop and check it out but a few days later I did a Google search for "Thai Restaurant Phoenix Cave Creek" and Pete's E San Thai Cuisine came up. This had to be the place.
We arrived at the restaurant about 6:00 pm on a Saturday and the parking lot was empty. Slightly hesitant, we ventured in. The decor was great and is a mix of Thai ornamental meets modern city loft. The bartender/barback immediately came to greet us and was super friendly. He told us it was BYOB and there was a QT around the corner if we needed to get wine or beer for our meal. We thanked him and pulled back into the parking lot about 15 minutes later.
When we came back to the restaurant, there were now 3 groups of people in the previously empty restaurant and we were greeted by Robert, our waiter for the evening. Robert obviously knew several of the diners and as we were seated, more groups came into the restaurant, even saying "Hi Robert!" across the room. To say that Robert was friendly and accommodating would be an understatement. He made us feel completely welcome and explained where the chef was from, the style of cuisine we would be eating and a bit of history about the restaurant.
We inquired about the Thai spring rolls and we were informed that they were out. He also explained that everything on the menu is made to order, with local ingredients and always from scratch. Robert suggested that we try the "Thai Toast", which we were a bit skeptical about but after he explained that it is a traditional crispy fried pork delicacy with panko breading, we decided to go for it. We also ordered yellow curry and pad thai.
The Thai Toast was fantastic, better than I had expected and it came with a great little cucumber salad. Be sure to ask for the sweet and sour sauce as well. We ate half of the Thai Toast and realized that we hadn't saved much room for our entrees. When our meals arrived, they were flavorful, spicy and nothing you would expect from a little unassuming place on the corner of Cactus and Cave Creek Road.
Pete's Thai has an inexpensive buffet at lunch and is priced moderately when compared to other Asian/Pan Asian restaurants. I'd give the flavor 4.5 stars and the service a 10! We are looking forward to our next visit!
