I dropped in here one afternoon when looking for a Thai place on Yelp. I'm never in this part of town so I wanted to give some new place a shot. And I'm so happy Thai Buffet was the place I selected.
It was around one in the afternoon when we dropped in and we were promptly greeted. We were quickly offered the buffet but I explained that my companion and I rarely eat meat, and we wanted to order something different. The owner asked if we liked shrimp (which we do) and she offered to make us something special that we would like. Without knowing anything else about what might arrive at the table, I took her word for it and let her work her magic.
She came back with two plates filled with asparagus and very meaty, medium to large sized shrimp. Everything was cooked perfectly. And the sauce was beyond wonderful. We told her we like "thai hot" and we received something that was the perfect blend of flavor and heat.
We were given soup to start and we were also offered to try anything on the buffet - even though we didn't order it. The buffet looked great but neither of us had the space in our bellies to try anything after finishing what we "ordered." As others have mentioned, the desert that was delivered to us was simply amazing.
I can honestly say that Thai Buffet gave the two of us the highest quality, best tasting and best value of a meal we've ever had in Phoenix - and anywhere in the country, for that matter. We will definitely be back.
