I've been passing Lao Thai on Scottsdale Road in South Scottsdale for years and finally stopped by. It doesn't look like much outside, and it's not a whole lot better inside, but I was pleasantly surprised by the food and service. I had the Pad Thai - delicate, spicy and delicious. The service was friendly, and my eating mates were all pleased with their food especially the Spicy Lemongrass - which I want to try next time. Excellent - don't judge a book by the cover.
