I see some mixed reviews here.. so for what it's worth, here's mine: I love this place. I've had thai food at probably 8 different locations in central phoenix area alone .. and this one is the best. I've also eaten thai on the east coast, west coast and some middle of the country states as well.. and this spot would be top 5 for sure all time in my experience. I generally order pad thai as a way to see what other dishes will be like. It's a great baseline. They use really fresh ingredients .. scallions don't just appear in the dish .. they are flavor packed and extremely pungent and bright! All of their ingredients are this way. I just love this place. I will be back. Portion size is good too for the main dish. I had the papaya salad though as an app to split and I didn't think that portion size was good. I've now had the coconut fried rice, tom yum soup, sticky sweet rice, pad thai and papaya salad and flavors were all excellent. The coconut fried rice was so good! The soup, and I'm not even a soup person, was excellent. Easy to love this place.

I recently visited Taste of Thai — Arcadia, and unfortunately, it was a deeply disappointing experience. The cleanliness of the establishment was unacceptable. Tables were sticky, the floors appeared unkempt, and to my horror, I saw cockroaches crawling in plain sight. This is an obvious health code violation and raises serious concerns about the overall hygiene of the restaurant. The staff was unwelcoming and dismissive, and it felt like they were treating certain customers better than others based on their background. When I asked a simple question about the menu, I was met with impatience and a condescending attitude. It’s unacceptable for a place of business to make anyone feel unwelcome or judged. I will not be returning and wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

If you want incredibly, ridiculously, delicious Thai food that will have your taste buds dancing, this is the place! I thought about actually not putting this review up because if too many people find out about this place it may affectthen maybe it won't be as easy for me to get the food when I want it 😆 but this has to be shared. It was definitely too much food for two people, but we wanted to try everything, and I'm so glad we did. I don't think you can go wrong with ordering anything, but what we had was the spicy fried rice, Pad Prik Kihng, yellow curry, edemame, and winton soup.

What delicious food! I have been searching for my new favorite Thai place since I moved half a year ago. I got fried fish smothered in vegetable and chili sauce. Scrumptious! I will be back… Tomorrow! And the day after ;) In all seriousness I’m addicted to this place now!

My wife and I had never been to this restaurant and decided to give it a try. Arrived about 5 pm. We ordered two dishes. It took about 40 minutes for the food to arrive. The staff seemed more concerned with the take out portion of their business. I ordered the Duck Ga Prow and my wife ordered the Garlic Lover with Beef. My duck was very dry, very tasteless and very tough as if it was freezer burned for months. In addition the whole dish tasted beyond salty. It had enough salt for 20 dishes. After two bites I refused to eat more. So I shared my wife's dish. It tasted like previously microwaved beef was mixed with semi-raw vegetables, no garlic taste. The beef was not browned. There was little gravy or sauce and it was a clear liquid. The waitress never came to see if we needed anything. I tried to get her attention several times but she was busy with the take out orders. After about 20 minutes I waved at her and she came to the table. I told her the duck was terrible and the dish was terribly over salted. She said, "so sorry" and walked off. We will not be back. Go to Totties in Scottsdale to try good Asia fusion with great service.

Wow. I’m literally just WOWed at the entire food. This is my first real authentic thai experience in the states after getting disappointed (for 7 years) at the same sriracha peanut butter sugary pad thai & pad see ew that has absolutely no difference in flavor regardless of what spice level you get.

I’ve got house special beef massaman curry with spice level 3 (hot) and it was hot, flavorful, delicious, beef literally melts in your mouth, both onions and potatoes were perfectly cooked (crispy onions and soft & slightly crunch potatoes). Peanuts were literally the round crunchy thai peanuts. Just top notch through and through.

Pad see ew - If you expect your typical pad see ew from doordash that taste 90% same as pad thai you will hate this. Because this one is real, authentic pad see ew that uses black soy sauce that is super dark and flavorful that may taste like it’s burnt. But me and my husband loved it - veggies were super crunchy (good cooked soft crunchy) and paired perfectly with soft, loose flat noodles that soaked up the sauce. OMG bean sprouts were the freshest I’ve seen - even fresher from what I get from grocery stores. It’s absurd how fresh their ingredients are. The quality is just top notch through and through and for the price it’s absurd. I wanted to move close to the area just because of this restaurant. I really hope they are around for decades.

Also their house made chili is the best - I hope they keep up all their good work

I think the food is delicious. The service was not. Long wait for food and then...I got served like 10 minutes before the other 2 people in my party. Waitress seemed like a robot. I think take out would be a perfect option for this place.
