| - Hungry for Thai in the Surprise area, Yelpers directed me to this place. It was busy when we arrived (6:45) and all the inside tables (what we wanted when it is 95 degrees outside) were occupied or dirty. It took a bit until we were seated, then a delay getting menus, and after another delay, we were able to order.
Our appetizers of Fish Cakes and Larb were fine. We have better and worse. While having spent a few seconds too long in the fryer, at least they make their fish cakes in house. The Larb was missing the usual toasted rice; otherwise very tasty. The entrees, Panang Curry and Drunken Noodles, arrived shortly after the appetizers which caused a bit of a rush to finish the appi's. Both entrée's were what we expected and very tasty. Despit many of the previous reviews, we took a chance and ordered the dishes prepared at the Medium level (choices are none, mild, medium, hot, and Thai hot). That turned out to be a touch cooler than expected, so the spice pots, recommended by others, came in handy.
Overall, the food was good but the service needs improvement. We had three different waitresses handling our table and some confusion occurred. We had to ask for drink refills and even plates so we could share the dishes. Another unusual thing was none of the dishes came with serving utensils. After requesting serving spoons we received chopsticks. Partially the result was due to a language barrier between us and the waitress. The DW and I have no problem using our eating utensil to serve food but it did seem strange.
I would return if we were in the area again, but at a less busy time.
