I am a sucker for moderately priced Thai food. I feel like its a cuisine that lends itself to being done well cheaply, so I'm also interested in seeking it out. On my last visit to PHX, I fell in love with Thai Hut.
Don't get me wrong, while I've sampled many a Thai restaurant in my day, I'll admit to not having the most sensitive of palates. I want my food cheap, tasty and really spicy. I want to go one level under your top level of spice and still taste something other than burning. Here's where TH stuck the landing, which earned it an automatic four out of five.
The topper? The decor. OK, maybe just exclusively the lamps. I felt like I was in a diner in Blade Runner. Its exactly the kind of just off futuristic thing that was once contemporary that makes me smile. We're a resident of PHX, Thai Hut would go near the top of my restaurant rotation.
