  • I've been fortunate enough to travel to Thailand twice. It's a beguiling place. The most remarkable thing about Thailand is the friendliness of its people. Everyone smiles in Thailand, regardless of how humble their circumstances may be. Thai Hut is a sheer delight because it reminds me of the best of Thailand. The staff at this restaurant is always smiling and their happiness is infectious. The setting for the restaurant has a fun and funky vibe. It looks like Flo's Diner was redecorated by Thom Filicia with decor from the Suan Lum Night Bazzar in Bangkok and a Mid-century Modern reproduction house. The choice of location on McDowell across from the Phoenix Art Museum is great. Whether or not the food at Thai Hut is authentic is a moot point. In Thailand I tasted a wide variety of even the most basic dishes such as Tom Kha Kai soup and Larb. It all depended on the chef and their given preparations and quirks. What sets the food in Thailand apart from what you will generally find in the US is the level of spice. The food in Thailand varies in heat intensity from Nuclear Hot to Surface of the Sun Hot. I've seen Thai folks enthusiastically devour Tom Yum soup that was so hot it made them weep. I've also tasted a dish spiced with pepper-infused vinegar that was so hot it literally took my breath away along with some taste buds. With all that said, the food at Thai Hut is great with an appropriate amount of spice for the average Phoenician's palate. My favorite soup is Tom Kha Kai and the Thai Hut version is luscious due to all the silky coconut milk they use. It makes a great start to a meal. The standby Sa-Tay appetizer is delicious as the chicken is spiced with curry before grilling and the peanut sauce is delightfully sweet. I believe the sauce is enriched with coconut milk. The Fresh Rolls are also very tasty, but the BF does not like that they include large pieces of green onion in them. He pulls out the green onion pieces before enjoying his Fresh Rolls and all is good again for us at Thai Hut. Thai Hut offers a variety of entrees and all have proven to be tasty. The Cashew Nut dish offers up a mix of sauteed cashews, onions, green peppers and your choice of protein in a savory sauce. The sauce balances well with the cashews and it brings out their natural sweetness. The Pineapple Fried Rice is a delicious choice that includes lovely chunks of fresh pineapple and cashews. The Ultimate Asparagus dish comes from the Chef's Special section of the menu. It offers fresh asparagus stir-fried with shrimp and chicken in a savory brown garlic sauce. I totally understand why it's in the Chef's Special section as it's delightful. The Thai Iced Tea is also appropriately sweet and the milk is a nice respite from the spice in the dishes. Thai Hut also offers its menu at a very wallet-friendly price point. I used to enjoy Wild Thaiger, but it has become too expensive for what it is. Thai Hut offers better food at about half the price. Thai Hut has knocked Wild Thaiger off as my standard Thai restaurant. Thai Hut offers take out and we placed a large order of Sa-Tay and Fresh Rolls for our Tacky Tiki Gay Pride Brunch and the proprietors were very accommodating.
