  • Basis for my starred ratings (which skews heavily to the food or drink): 1 star: Never again. 2 stars: Poor food, poor experience, extraordinary measures in order for me to come back. 3 stars: Average, nothing really special, nothing particularly bad. 4 stars: Very good, would definitely return. 5 stars: A favorite, one of the best. Hate to be the 5-star Debbie Downer, but I can't justify giving this place 5 stars, or even 4.5. Based upon our experience I'm even a little leery with a full 4 stars but I'll keep it there, based upon great, friendly service and complimentary ice cream to finish. A nice touch. So why not 5 stars? I can't say this place comes even close to the best Thai I've ever had in the country and arguably, not even in the Valley. (See Yupha's Thai Kitchen.) My wife and I ordered the papaya salad (2 spiciness), pad thai and massaman curry (3 spiciness). The papaya salad was quite good and despite the 2, pretty spicy. Not the best (that was in Vegas), but good. The massaman curry was also tasty, but given the 3 spiciness, was hoping for a little more heat. But the curry was well balanced, nice and rich, plenty of meat. The pad thai was what fell so short. Overpoweringly sweet, not enough tamarind or heat to balance it out. Had the meal been based on the pad thai alone, this would have been a 2.5 to 3-star rating. But everything else we had was tasty and out in a flash. Bonus points for portions - they are generous here, so the value is excellent. I suspect, though, that the mass of 5-star reviews comes from the effect of a skewed population sample, a lowering of expectations. This hole-in-the-wall looks terrible, in one of the worse neighborhoods of Phoenix. With the very above-average food coming out of here, I think it gets the bump of beaten expectation. Again, this place is good and we'll be back, but it is not the best Thai in the State, and lags far behind the best Thai in the country.
