I don't write many reviews anymore, but Chanpen Thai was so inspiring I just had to contribute! South Phoenicians and Tempe residents rejoice, because this is seriously the best Thai food I've had in quite some time, possibly ever! Anyone who knows anything about food understands that its the little hole-in-the-wall shops that are the best and this place is no different. I'm honestly a little worried about when the word gets out because its such a small location, they will easily be packed.
We ordered some of our favorite standards: fresh veggie rolls with tofu, veggie pad thai and veggie panang curry. Everything was seriously amazing. Even the heat was just right...we ordered everything at a 3 on a 0-5 scale and it was perfect. The curry flavor and creaminess plus the veggie selection and giant tofu chunks was the best panang I've ever had. The pad thai was exceptional, again with the giant tofu chunks. Serving sizes were great. I was hoping to try dessert, but the food was so phenomenal I couldn't stop eating it!
They have a pretty extensive menu, and it sounds like they are pretty much willing to make anything the way you want it. They asked us if we wanted to add tofu to the fresh rolls even though it wasn't on the menu, and made sure egg was ok in the pad thai. Their lunch specials also look good for $6.
We were also told that on Friday and Saturdays they will be offering DELIVERY! We are in trouble.
