Being a local of south scottsdale as well as a bartender of a local establishment, I am a fan of supporting local businesses. I was quite anxious when I observed an "Old " restaurant closing with the hopes of a "Newer" fresher place. Much to my delight Lao Thai has arrived. I believe the first week they had opened my beau and I had dined in/tookout 3 times. We have since that time not missed a week without our Lao Thai fix. As you can expect I meet alot of people, and I am a huge advocate of spreading the word around. I personally have never lived in Thailand nor have I a pretensious foodie degree. I just know this place is immaculate, the staff is fast and friendly, the food is fresh and delish, it is close to my home and job. I love this place so much that I am currently on a VERY rigid diet until mid October with a buddy of mine and part of the wager for this diet is........Looser must buy dinner @ None other than Lao Thai!!! Wish me Luck~
