| - I recently had the pleasure of dining at the restaurant on Power and just south of SR-202. Even though the summertime temperatures are flirting with the 110 degree mark, I felt the "desire-for- fire" as my old College chums and I used to say, whenever we needed something spicy and flavorful, but was not Mexican food. As I passed through the door I was welcomed by one of the Staff and I was asked caringly, "How was your day?" I was somewhat astonished, as I incorrectly thought that fast food restaurants of this caliber that have proliferated around the valley, do not actually care about their customers, and are just interested in "moving the masses" in and out of the store.
I looked at the menu and discovered a treasure trove of Thai delicacies. I ordered the Yellow curry at my favorite level of spiciness. There are 4 levels to choose from if I recall correctly. From a mild tongue tingle to all out "blow-the-top of-your-head-off" Hot! I chose a chicken meat filler as well, to round out the flavor of a medley of potatoes, carrots, various peppers and spices. As I was ordering, the manager suggested I compliment my dish with twin "spring rolls". These hit the perfect gustatory "Notes" as their sweetness ,after being drenched in the Thai version of "sweet & sour sauce", immediately brought an involuntary smile on my face when I took the first bite. I complemented the meal with some brown rice and was upgraded (at no charge to me) to a side of noodles! They wanted me to see how I liked them. Needless to say, I will always add noodles to the meal on future visits. But no meal is complete without something to slake your thirst. Especially after challenging your tongue with authentic spicy treats from Thailand. So I ordered a tall glass of Thai Tea. I personally don't think there is a single drink that can compete with the smooth "woody" flavor of authentic Thai Tea. Especially if it is brewed slowly, and sweetened with "real cane sugar. Not "sugar beet" sugar - but sugar cane sugar! Mmm mmm mmm!
I spoke with the manger and was told that all the dishes are actual Thai dishes handed down from generations of recipes from the head chefs' family. So, there is no "assembly line meals" you get from Thai Chili2Go. As the young people say: "They're just keeping it real!".
I would encourage everyone to visit this string of restaurants, as they have restaurants in various gathering places in the East Valley. The food is delicious, the staff is attentive and the ambiance is relaxing and gratifying. Eat there; you'll be glad you did!
