| - I'm not sure if I caught them on one of those days, but my first(and only) experience here was less than memorable.
I decided to give these guys a shot after my first choice was closed(it was a Sunday). I found them on Yelp, and it said that they were open. I tried the phone number that was listed several times, but all I got was a busy signal. Since I was leaving work, I didn't have time to try and find another place, and this place was on the way, so I figured I'd see if they were in fact open like Yelp said.
The place was easy to find, on Chandler just west of Dobson. I saw they had a drive-thru for call-ahead orders. That'd be great if you could actually get through on the phone.
They were definitely open, so I walked in to place my order for take-out. The inside was actually pretty nice looking. It was nicely decorated. Not overly done, the lighting was down a little, and it made for a comfortable atmosphere. Not very noisy either. Seemed like a nice little place to come and sit for a meal.
They were very quick to greet me and to take my order. It was a simple order, as I ordered chicken paht thai, medium spiciness, and a couple egg rolls. If you can get through on the phone, I highly recommend ordering ahead. I felt a bit awkward standing around, with no place for those waiting on take-out to sit. I ended up leaning against a small counter in the corner of the restaurant because there was no place to wait. I guess you could have sat at one of their dining tables, but that's not my style.
The food was fairly quick. Less than ten minutes and I was out the door. Smelled great too. When I got home, I quickly sat down with my wife, dished up a plate, and dug in.
The egg rolls were actually really good. They were a bit smaller than what I expect egg rolls to be, but they still had good flavor.
The paht thai is where things went south pretty quick. My wife and I love paht thai, and this is what we get all the time. We just moved to Arizona, so we are trying to find a place that nails it down. This wasn't it.
Let me start by saying the spiciness was right on. It wasn't too spicy, but it still gave a slight burn. Pretty right on for "medium". That's all it had going though. Overall it was very flavorless. I was very disappointed with each bite I took, as I expected it to get better. Unfortunately it never did. Even at the very end, I grabbed a piece of chicken and ate it. It too was absolutely flavorless and dry. I would never order paht thai from here again.
Seeing a lot of positive reviews on here makes me think I ordered the wrong thing, however paht thai seems to be a pretty easy and common dish at Thai restaurants. If they can't nail that down, it leaves me with little or no hope for the rest of the menu. Plus, at $14 something for that and 3 tiny egg rolls, I expect a hell of a lot more.
