  • Having just moved to Scottsdale, I decided to try a couple of nearby places. My cousin (sweety) was in the mood for Thai, and on this stormy night, it was close to where we live. A cute little place in a non-descript stripmall, The first thing we noticed when we walked in was the heat. As in temperature...nothing gets the meal off to a bad start when you can't dine in comfort. Even though I'm hot (lol), I ordered the Tom Yum soup. for 4.25 its a big bowl with 2 shrimp swimming in a zesty, SPICY broth. I ordered the soup Med-hot and that was plenty hot. YUM! After sipping the soup, our server took requests for dinner, we started with another appetizer: Larb. The flavor was very good, just the right amount of mint and other secret spices....but the mountain of lettuce it is served on was perplexing. Every Thai restaurant I've been to serves Larb with Iettuce leaves, so one can make it a wrap, this was a nice twist on the presentation, but I prefer the more traditional style. Here is one of my pet peeves at a restaurant....Why, for the love of God do servers find it necessary to bring out the appetizers followed immediately by the main course???? By the time I'm finished, the main entree is cold! Common sense, folks! The green curry was the best dish of the meal, fully of artery blocking coconut milk, this baby had ooomph! Hot, savory, filled with tender beef and lots of veggies! The pad thai was average at best, I sensed no love in this dish, just a pile of noodles...no distinct veggies, no crunchy peanuts on the top...no scallions either. The taste was better than the looks, I'd give it a C+ if i was forced to grade. Good news is that they are open until 9 and take plastic, bad news; no beer/wine is served. We brought our own sensing that we would be out of luck in the beer/wine dept and were told we were not allowed to drink it as they don't have a BYO license. I didn't know there was such a thing. Phoenix is nothing like Chicago as for as a preponderance of BYOs. I wish it were. Oh well that is another discussion for another day. The service was efficient, too efficient in my opinion. I would definitely come back, but ONLY for take out, where in can eat at my own pace, have a beer with dinner, and dine in the air-conditioned comfort of my own home. There are other Thai restaurants in the area, I'm anxious to compare.
