My first impression of the restaurant was that it was small. It is basically a square dining room. The decor and lighting were nice and the place was adequately clean. For a Saturday night at 8pm, business wasn't booming, but it was dead either. The menu is large with mostly Americanized Thai dishes. Entree prices are reasonable, appetizers maybe a little high. Beer was little expensive too. A bottle of Kilt Lifter was $5. The service started out just OK. Our waiter wasn't very warm and seemed to have only limited knowledge of the menu. However, he kept my water filled and our food was delivered in a reasonable time. Portions are generous and the vegetables were fresh. I ordered a "5" on my dish and was disappointed by the lack of spiciness. I got the eggplant with chicken. Overall, it was pretty good. One piece of the eggplant was a little undercooked and the chicken tasted gamy, probably dark meat. I used a lot of soy sauce. I was very impressed with the brown rice - super fresh and sticky and some of the best I've had. My girlfriend got the shrimp salad, which she was very impressed with also. We didn't do any deserts or appetizers. We used a groupon and Its certainly not worth the drive from Scottsdale without one. Really, this is more a like a 3.5 star restaurant and if you live within a few miles - Thai Chili is a reasonable alternative for fresh food with a decent value.
