| - This place replaced one of my lunch spots, an old Rubio's restaurant. It is located next to one of the sushi places I hit every week, Fresh Wasabi, so I was excited when I saw this Thai place make its way in.
I didn't eat here, but I took food to go on a lunch break. There's a rating scale ranging from mild to medium to spicy and Thai spicy. I'm not used to seeing the actual red chili flakes, but with both dishes I ordered, it looked like red confetti sprinkled over everything. Just interesting observation though - not a deal maker or breaker for that matter. Like I said, the sprinkled red chili flakes made food look like confetti-inspired fun, perhaps?
Tom Ka soup with added shrimp - very good. I ordered this medium and the sweetness of the coconut milk really complimented the spiciness of the soup. However, the medium is not as spicy as the medium at one of my other favorite Thai places, Satara. The shrimp was cooked well - I often worry that places overcook shrimp to the point of chewy-ness, but Tom Yum's shrimp was done still tender yet cooked.
Yellow curry with chicken. - Cooked really well. The sauce is thinner but very close to the thickness I look for in my curries. I like my curry sauces on the extra thick, rich side. (Might as go "all out" when going unhealthy, right?) The taste was very enjoyable and flavorful.
I was put on hold for what seemed like 10 minutes listening to their background noise when ordering over the phone. It was around lunch time though, so I understand they were extra busy. I worried for them thinking, what if they put other people on hold this long too? I almost hung up and was going to try again another time when the girl finally picked up and was able to take my order. That was my only minor gripe. Otherwise, I definitely will return here. I love Thai food, and I'm glad that this location is so convenient to get to in Surprise.
