| - Ok, calling it. After our year residency, Chanpen has been the-hands down- best thai food spot we've had in AZ and will be one of the go to eateries in general. Great service, topped with delicious food and was decently priced... man, you got us. Apparently we'd been waiting some time for our food as they apologized and offered us veggie spring rolls which despite the lack of meat was just yumms-and that's coming from an avid meat eater. We didn't really notice the wait as we were jamming out to the eccelctic music selection ranging from Kpop, to Thai pop, to early 2000 slow jams. We'd eaten here before but this was the first time we devoured everything in one sitting. We ordered the chicken larb, pad Thai, and spicy basil fried rice. everything was deloycious, perfectly portioned, and just hit all the right spots. They topped us off with a green tea ice cream (last time they had coconut) which was just the perfect end. Will come back, will recommend to anyone who's hungry. Chanpen...you got us. We got gotten.
Wanted to note, it's rare to find a thai place that isn't afraid to give you the spice level you ask for, almost anywhere. Not watered down, but real spice. Accidentally asked for a 10 once and they did not play (didn't realize their scale was 0-5). It was still so good but definitely a mistake. Stuck to their scale this time and everything was perfection.
