| - Review 3/10 for the 10 bookmarked businesses to review before the end of 2016! From Meagan B.'s thread: https://www.yelp.com/topic/phoenix-yelp-phoenixs-10-firsts-of-2016
After being dismissed from jury duty, I wanted to celebrate having a half day free so I headed over to Chanpen to indulge in some tasty Thai food! They currently have a good selection of lunch specials for $7.95 that includes a small eggroll, soup, and wonton crisps. I decided on the red curry with tofu, Thai hot.
The interior is cute with sunny warm accents and unique decor. I might have indulged in a Thai iced tea had the server asked me if I wanted an additional drink after taking my order, but for my meal today I stuck with my tall Mason jar of water with lime wedges.
The soup was served first, piping hot. It was a clear, well seasoned broth with cabbage, celery, and cilantro. The rest of the meal came out fairly quickly, and had a nice presentation. The curry had a lot of fried tofu and vegetables. The curry itself was more like a regular hot to me, hot enough to sear the tongue a little but not enough to really make my nose run. The wonton crisps were light with good crunch, and the eggroll was pretty basic, served with a super sweet sauce.
Service was speedy and my check was presented to me when I was halfway done through my meal, so if you are in a rush for lunch this is a good choice to eat.
Overall it was a pleasant meal and I'd go back to try more items if I were in the area.
