This restaurant is awesome! I STRONGLY recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Phoenix area. The food is fresh, tasty, and creative. It's the perfect family run neighborhood business! Photos accompany the menu, so ordering is an absolute breeze for Thai food beginners.
I sampled the chicken satay and papaya salad for an appetizer. Although quite spicy hot for my Midwestern pallet, the salad was a wonderful and unique beginning to the meal. The satay was perfectly seasoned and grilled. The peanut sauce that accompanied it was Heaven in a dipping bowl.
There were at least 12 dishes on the menu that I was aching to try. My dining partner and I opted to split two ubiquitous Thai dishes. The Pad Thai was simply delightful! The dish was NOT weighted down with oil and tasted very fresh. The Thai Fried Rice was also perfection-- we ordered ours with tofu. I'm not a big fan of tofu, however, Thai Cafe prepared the tofu in a way that actually has me excited to eat tofu again.
I'm already planning my next trip to Thai Cafe. The extensive soup and curries selections are calling my name!
