(Lyrics - Elvis Presley - Good Luck Charm)
I want a 5 star restaurant
I want some old Thai food
Want your food cause I just can't miss
With a place called Charm like you
Come on and join me a little bite at Charm
Uh-huh huh, you spicy delight
I want a place like Charm
a-hungry man like me
To have, to have, to try, to try tonight
Charm is in the prime real estate in the heart of downtown Chandler. I love coming down to this part of the town during the weekends, and rather prefer it over Scottsdale.
I came to Charm for a quick bite with a buddy of mines. The place is still the same from the original Thai restaurant from what I remembered; modern furnishings with traditional Thai decors.
They start you off with serving a vegetable broth here which I didn't really care for. I thought it was tad bit too salty but my buddy drank all of his and mines! I ordered the Drunken Noodles for my entree while my buddy shot for the traditional Pad Thai. Overall, my noodles were good, but I wish they used more of the glass noodles which I'm accustomed to, but instead I got the large flat noodles like Pad See Ew. The noodles were still good and I did order a medium spice; but boy did it kick my in the booty. I guess my weak ass should have ordered mild haha! I had a taste of my buddies Pad Thai and it was pretty solid and not spiced as he ordered haha!
In the end, Charm is a delight and welcoming atmosphere. My expectations can be high at times, but Charm will do just fine for a quick bite and drink! - Enjoy!
