| - I recently offered to treat a co-worker to lunch and asked him for a suggestion. He highly recommended this restaurant and, since I had not already tried it, I was eager to do so.
I ordered two curry entrees with chicken, one red and one yellow, two full portions of rice, and two orders of Sticky Rice with Mango.
Pros:
The portion sizes were generous, as was the quantity of chicken and vegetables, and probably more than enough for one person.
I had the yellow curry and the chicken and vegetables were tender but not mushy. The consistency of the broth was rich with good depth of flavor, very satisfying, and the seasoning was perfect for me.
I ordered Spicy Level 2 on a scale of 1 to 3. Were this curry to be served in Thailand then I expect the Spicy Level would be a negative number because I found it to be relatively mild. However, considering this restaurant is located in Scottsdale I think their scale is adjusted appropriately.
The Sticky Rice with Mango was among the best I've had in southern Arizona. This was due to the fact that the portions of rice and mango were larger than usual for local Thai Restaurants I've tried before and the rice was very good.
Cons:
The only concern I had was the tab for lunch came to about $20 per person, which I thought was a little pricey.
At the same time, I did order plenty of food and considering that Thai food in southern Arizona is often somewhat disappointing I would say it was worth the treat.
