| - Returned to Chon Thai after having a craving for delicious Thai food for several days. Just like the first time here, the food and service did not disappoint.
Ordered the Drunken Beef Noodles and Chicken Chon Thai roll again (they were too tasty the first time to pass up). It's wonderful to see that the food is very consistent.
We also ordered the Chicken Satay and all I can say is WOW. The seasoning on this perfectly cooked chicken with peanut sauce on the side is simply great. I didn't think an appetizer at Chon Thai could top the Chicken Chon Thai Roll but the Chicken Satay is easily it's equal, I'd recommend ordering both.
For a second entrée item we tried the Pad See Ew with chicken. While the basic ingredients are nearly identical to the Drunken Beef Noodles, the seasoning really makes it stand apart as a separate and distinct dish, easily as good as the Drunken Beef Noodles. I describe it tasting as if delicious Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles had a subtly sweet and savory lovechild.
There is also a new coconut and gelatin based dessert that is soon to be on the menu that, whom I suspect is the owner, allowed us to try. I really hope this item makes it on to the menu as it was the perfect light and slightly sweet ending to our dinner. It has a similar flavor to a good rice pudding but was made, as far as I can tell, entirely out of a flavored but nearly clear gelatin with coconut meat and a small topping of whipped cream. Try this dessert if it's available.
Just like my first glowing review of Chon Thai recommends, do yourself a favor and head over for some fresh and delicious Thai food. The pricing at Chon Thai with the level of quality they offer is nearly unheard of in the entire Phoenix Metro Area. They have very inexpensive lunch specials and a deal for 10% off dinner.
I really hope the crew at Chon Thai are here to stay for a long, long time. I know I can't wait to return, I've got my eye on that Garlic Crispy Chicken on the menu.
