| - This is a really nice Thai restaurant on a festive looking street in the heart of Scottsdale. I ate here last night while on a first date. It's a very nice place for a date or an evening out. Most of the other people in the the restaurant seemed to be paired up, although I'm sure they can arrange for larger groups. The waitress was very pleasant and attentive the whole time. All the food was extremely colorful and pleasing to look at, and also very tasty, as were their cocktails.. This place is very good for vegetarians because they have a vegetarian section in their menu, saving the trouble of having to search through the menu looking for vegetarian stuff. I ordered the Hippy Noodle, which was tofu with noodles and vegetables. It was really good. My date had the basil chicken, which also looked really good. I had the creme brulee for dessert, which was excellent.
I would give this place five stars except that my food was a little too spicy. They ask you at the beginning how spicy you want your food on a scale of 1-5, and I asked for a 3, which the waitress said was a very tolerable level. I was expecting a moderately spicy meal, but it turned out to be a little more than that. I had to take a sip of water after every bite, and my sinuses were about to fire up. I was on a date so I figured it would be better to eat less food rather than fight through the spiciness and have watery eyes and a runny nose. Not attractive.
The whole street is full of art galleries, and it would have been really nice to have been able to walk down the street and browse through them after dinner, but everything on the street closes a little early.
Overall, this was a really good experience. The whole bill came out to be $60, and that includes drinks, entrees, and dessert. I thought it was very reasonable.
