| - I've been to the Thai house on Shea and Scottsdale, and to be honest I prefer this location simply because it's not so depressing.
I came here for lunch with my boyfriend one day. The place gets PACKED at lunch- both weekdays and weekends, so make sure to plan accordingly. Anyhow, we were lucky enough to be seated immediately. We ordered two Diet Cokes to start, and they came out and tasted funny- almost a little like soapy chemicals (possibly from not being completely rinsed after being washed??). Looking in the glasses, we notices bubbly foam on top of the drinks themselves. The server took them back and gave them to the busser lady, which right behind the counter, she poured them out and rinsed the glasses with the water from the soda fountain and then refilled. Not my idea of cleaning the glass or providing us with new ones, but whatever. to be honest, they still tasted like soap for the rest of the meal.
Anyhow, we ordered the Panang Curry and the Pad Thai for entrees as well as some soups to start. The soups were really really good. I got the vegetable soup and it was fresh, light, and the vegetables were of decent quality. My boyfriend got the coconut milk soup, which I didn't enjoy as much but was still pretty good.
The main dishes came out in a decent amount of time. The Pad Thai (on a 4/5 hotness scale) was done really well. It had a decent amount of chicken in it, and the spicyness level was pretty accurate to what we ordered.
The curry was also pretty good. The vegetables (at least the carrots) I'm pretty sure come frozen and they add to the curry, but they're not bad. The curry overall is flavorful and has a decent amount of kick to it. My only complaint here about the food is that they don't give much rice with the curry dishes.
There was one server for the whole restaurant, one food runner and one busser. This seemed a little odd as it was extremely busy, but oh well. It made the service a bit subpar.
This Thai house restaurant location possibly would have gotten a higher rating if we werent served soap on the rocks. The food, however was really good.
