My boyfriend and I came here after a long flight, straight from the airport. We were so hungry. LeDu Thai did not disappoint! We had the hat-yai fried chicken as our appetizer, pad ki-mao and kra pow chicken as our entrees, and the bong bong as our dessert. Every bite was packed with flavor.
Shoutout to the staff for such amazing service. They were nothing short of kind. They made the start of my boyfriend’s birthday trip so nice.
If you’re looking for a tasty spot to dine at, this is your sign.

LeDu was a FANTASTIC find.Great ambiance/energy, artsy decor, CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN,great location(parking challenging, but TOTAL worth it),FIRST CLASS service,indoor/outdoor seating, private reserved seating inside & the food was authentic filled with LOTS of flavor with spice ordered to your liking & lots of dishes to try from the menu.Definitely somewhere I’ll be going back to real soon. If you’re nearby it would be good to uber especially on the weekends because it’s located in a very busy “night scene” artsy park of town where there’s lots of restaurant & club life. You’ll have a GREAT time. Enjoy!!! Say Hi to our awesome server Jay Jay Y :)

Cute place but honestly worst Thai food I've ever had. Boring, flavorless, overpriced.

Fantastic dinner on the patio with our dog. The server had good suggestions, the heat was never overpowering, and every dish was delicious. We had the wings and mushroom Larb to start, both awesome. The Penang was super flavorful, the Kula Kling was our favorite.

Checked out LeDu Thai recently and let me just say… if 5 stars is the limit, I’d like to speak to whoever set that rule because this place deserves at least double. From the moment you walk in, it feels like stepping into a hidden gem that’s been waiting for you to find it.
The space is absolutely stunning… Think jungle chic meets date-night glam. Deep emerald walls, flickering candles, and lush greenery wrap around you like a cozy secret. The gold lattice chandeliers cast a soft, golden glow that makes everyone look like they’re in the middle of a movie scene… or at least a really good Instagram story. It’s elegant without being pretentious, modern but still intimate. And the patio? A total dream, especially in those rare Phoenix months when sitting on the patio is preferred. I could have sat out there for hours sipping cocktails, and people watching!
Speaking of cocktails, my Cha-Thaitini was nothing short of perfection. Lightly sweet, a little creamy, and dangerously smooth. It’s one of those drinks that makes you forget your responsibilities and start Googling flights to Bangkok halfway through the glass.
When it came to food, we kicked things off by splitting the Hat-Yai Fried Chicken, which was so crispy it could’ve doubled as ASMR content. Every bite was perfect and paired beautifully with the sweetend sour dipping sauce; bright, tangy, and just the right amount of sweet.
For our entrées, I went classic with the Chicken Pad Thai (because let’s be real, it’s the ultimate test of any Thai kitchen in my book), while my friend went bold with the Chinese Broccoli and Crispy Pork Belly. Both were phenomenal. My Pad Thai nailed that perfect balance of sweet, salty, and tangy, while his dish had rich, melt-in-your-mouth pork with just the right crunch. We ordered them both with medium spice, which, let’s say, had a bit more kick than anticipated… but the flavor was so good we didn’t even mind breaking a light sweat. Honestly, it felt like the perfect metaphor for Thai food: a little heat, a little thrill, and completely worth it.
Everything was so good that by the next morning, both of us admitted we’d secretly debated ordering takeout for lunch. That’s how you know a restaurant hits.
Between the flawless service, gorgeous aesthetic, and food that makes you emotionally attached to your leftovers, LeDu Thai is easily in my top five restaurants in all of Phoenix. If you haven’t been, go. Order the Cha-Thaitini, say yes to the fried chicken and Pad Thai, and prepare to fall a little bit in love, one bite at a time!

Beautiful restaurant, and the meals. We choose all hot level 3, it is enough but I would choose level 4 if I would visit next time.

:( I reallllly hope we just went on an off night.
Got the pad z u and pad ki mao to go, walked a block home and ate the most underwhelming Thai food in recent memory. I ordered extra veggies but I can count the number of individual pieces of veggies I got on one hand. The veggies we had were all extremely tough broccoli stalks and stems. Inedible. Between both our plates, we did not get a single broccoli top. The noodles in both dishes were overcooked and pulverized into a paste mush and both dishes were dry as all hell. The portions were small and we paid $50 for this. boo! That sucks. :(
I went to H mart the next day and made it myself to cleanse my palette. And it cost me less than $25 to make enough for 10 people.
I love Thai food and i was really excited to try this place but shoot. Darn. Agh. It really sucked unfortunately 👎

This restaurant is hands down one of the tastiest spots I’ve ever eaten at. The chef’s curry recommendation was so delicious that I couldn’t resist licking the bowl clean.

This place has been on my list for months and we were finally in the area. If you love Glai Baan but can’t handle the parking or elusive seating, this is your place.
I had the Krapow pork and it may be life-changing. The most perfectly crisped, flavorful pork belly, with a sauce that I will dream about. The papaya salad was perfection - my wife saying it’s the best she’s had since SoCal. And don’t get me started about the drinks - rum with absinthe? Two please!
The only thing that was slightly disappointing was the banana roti. The banana and roti were lovely, but so much could have been done to step up the level of the dish. A condensed milk ice cream, or brûlée the bananas, something more than just bananas on bread. But for real - I love banana sandwiches, just usually with peanut butter.
All in all, a nearly flawless meal that I will hopefully be back many times more to enjoy.

Absolutely beautiful restaurant with delicious food. We tried the pad z u with pork and the pad thai with tofu, and both had great flavor and texture. Enjoyed our experience and would definitely come again to try more of their menu.

I’m constantly terrified that this place will close, as many RoRo spots seem to do because of rents and competition. OUTSTANDING Thai food. Take their spice levels seriously(3 is truly spicy). Nothing we’ve had has been less than stellar. Fun place to dine in and have a drink, too!
