| - Thinking to spend the evening in a restaurant for a long talk to catch up with your old friends, this will be your place.
The restaurant is located at the intersection of scottsdale & shea .... when you drove by, it is very easy to spot as this is probably the only restaurant / shop open in the plaza. Inside out, the ambience of the restaurant is great if you can overlook the shopping center is kind of run-down. It doesn't look like your typical thai restaurant. It has low light and very chic deco, quite a cute place I must say in term of ambience.
In term of food, the quality is a OK ... nothing to wow about. Ordered basil beef and the uncle som's seafood ... both are good traditional thai food. It's good but nothing out of the ordinary, both the cut of meat and seafood are not great ... I can get the same quality of dishes at another Thai restaurant right around the corner for 50% off their price. This is not a place for the value of food, rather, the price you pay is more for the ambience.
And I must agree with my fellow yelpers that the service is SLOW ... yes, I do undersand that everything is made to order ... but honestly, so do any other thai restaurant. Thai food is not something you can pre-cook anyway. And in term of slow, it's not only in the kitchen, also the front end service. Our server was slow , not in term of time to place order and checking ... but he was slow to understand ... or he was plain ignoring what was requested. I asked for the pepper tray THREE times .... still no pepper tray when I paid the bill. And he got the bill wrong and I kindly pointed that out to him, and he brought back the exact same bill :-\ ... not the kind of service I would expect in this type of restaurant.
Overall, good place to spend the evening to have long conversation and have decent food with good atmosphere if you are willing to pay for the ambience
