| - This place might not look like much on the outside (or the inside), but the food is truly phenomenal. (And we think of ourselves as pretty decent foodies). We came late on a Wednesday night, and they're only open til 9, but we were told to help ourselves. When we told them we were vegetarian/seafood eaters, they said they would custom make our dishes for us, separate from the buffet. It then turned into an amazing meal as the mother/owner/chef asked us what we wanted and promptly went in the back and started cooking for us. We weren't too picky, so we ended up with a tofu green curry and a shrimp pad see uew. We also had salad first, with an interesting semi-spicy vinegary dressing, maybe a tamarind? that was delicious, and then the entrees were crazy good...amazing flavors like no Thai I've tried, and it was the best Thai I've maybe ever had. They also brought us out some fried shrimp, and we had a Thai iced tea (mmmm coconut milk). They topped it off with dessert, which was homemade pumpkin custard, that had rice and red bean on the bottom, and coconut ice cream on top. The mother/chef was so lovely and chatty and made sure we liked her creations, and even brought out the leftovers of it. It felt like we were in her kitchen :) We had a Groupon and felt so bad for the kind of food and quality that we had gotten and what we paid that we left a doubled tip. If only it was a little nicer inside, I'd love to be there every week, but the food makes up for it. Will definitely go back...yet another amazing hole-in-the-wall find in PHX!
