| - I passed by this place several times but never walked in because I usually eat before I head downtown. As most people in Phoenix know, it can be challenging to find an open restaurant in downtown Phoenix at times. However, one day, I had decided to give it a shot since it was one of the few restaurants open on a Sunday afternoon. The simple fact that it was open on a Sunday afternoon when other surrounding restaurants were closed, is a definite plus!!
I frequent Thai restaurants in many cities across the country and Arizona is one of those places that struggles in quality. However, this place is actually quite good in comparison to many of the top Thai restaurants in larger cities. Plus, its price is just right if not a bargain considering the portion they provide. They're able to achieve just the right taste for their standard fare (pad thai, pad see-eiw, satay, etc.) as well as their pan-asian fare (vermicelli soups, curry, etc.). The service was also very good with attentive, smiling wait staff.
I will definitely be back and want to try more of their specials as well as more of their pan-asian items. They are now my downtown weekend spot since the food is great, items are reasonably priced, wait staff is friendly and attentive, and place is actually open!
Please keep up the great work Thai Elephant!
