| - This is a cute little place within walking distance from the convention center. Interesting enough, there's another Tai restaurant around the corner, who knew..Phoenix, the Tai hot spot of the desert.
It's an affordable small place, with a really a friendly atmosphere and a great staff.
They have lunch specials, but the menu is somewhat difficult to understand, so I needed a little guidance.
I had the Lunch Special, the chicken with fried rice, Tai veggie roll and jasmine rice. A huge portion and plenty of flavor. (You see, you pick the special, then you pick a combo from Mom's Entre's or Mom's Curry, (on the other side of the menu) but not the noodles). "Noodles not on lunch special" nor are the two Mom's Combo's 1 & 2, right below the specials.
I was disappointed in the "heat level" I ordered hot (4 out of 5) and it fell short, way short. I wanted some spice, you know, forehead sweating, nose running and you start uncontrollable hiccuping in between bites. It wasn't meant to be. But then afterward, I noticed they offer double and triple Tai Hot. I should really learn how to read a menu.
They serve a variety of coffee and teas (but no refills on the Tai iced coffee, iced tea or iced lemonade)...must be really special.
No adult beverages and "to go" orders must be consumed outside of premises, credit cards must be a minimun of $8 (express menu starts at $6.95), and additional charges for substitutions or brown rice (see rules on refills above). So, does that mean it's extra if you have peanut allergies?
A lot of rules, but it's Mom's Kitchen and she says what goes!
Next time, I'll try the curry at Tai Double Hot.
