First Yelp review from an avid Yelp user. I've been waiting for a place that really struck me to post my first restaurant review. I live in Yelp-central (Chicago, IL) and I decided to make my first post about a Thai place tucked into a non-descript strip mall in Mesa, AZ.
This is not a buffet. Come to Thai Buffet expecting to sit in someone's kitchen and be served fresh Thai small plates until you tell the owner/chef that you cannot eat anymore. Everything is great. Just tell her to bring what she feels like cooking.
They start you with a soup. Her son (my waiter) recommended the chicken (versus beef). The fist spoonful of soup sets the table for what will end up being one incredible meal, and certainly the best value you'll ever get anywhere, anytime.
I didn't get to try any of the American stuff... but my waiter said his mom made him a Philly cheesesteak recently that he was dipping in the red curry. Sounded incredible. I was way too stuffed to try it at that point, but I will next time I'm in town.
I'd recommend people go soon. The reviews don't lie. And this place will be swarming with mobs really soon. If this place was in Chicago, she'd have expanded by now. Or at least raised the price from $7.50 to $9.00.
