Needed a good Thai lunch special and this definitely gave me what I was looking for! I'll have to dine in one day as the ambiance seemed nice and chill. I'll definitely order again!

Absolutely incredible! Delicious food in a fun setting with unique and cozy seating. Stopped in for our anniversary while passing through Phoenix and loved it! I am very sensitive to food additives and chemicals, so eating out when traveling can be a wild card for me, but I had no problems here which leads me to believe the food is very fresh. Thank you!

Cool Thai restaurant downtown. The atmosphere was great, the spring rolls and food were fantastic. My wife loved the Thia tea. To finish our meal we had the fried bananas and coconut ice cream. Overall, this was a awesome gem in the downtown area.

This is an excellent choice if you're looking to eat at a Thai restaurant! We went around 12.15 pm months ago and there was no wait time and we were seated immediately. We are visiting Phoenix and we didn't know where to park. Found a parking lot $2 an hour to park so not bad.I ordered the Pad see ew with seafood and it was excellent. The portion size was about standard but the amount of protein that was provided exceeded other Thai restaurants I have been to! My bf ordered Turmeric coconut chicken and he enjoyed it. Also, I was extremely satisfied with how quick the food came out. The service was on par and the decor is beautiful.Overall, I would highly recommend here if you are looking for a Thai meal!

Red the reviews and came here as soon as we checked into our hotel which was only two blocks away. This restaurant lives up to its high reviews. I loved the Thai curry, next time will try the Penang curry. Ordered a 4 on spice scale and next time will order a 5. So good

I dont really seek out Thai food but came here anyways because Google said I should. It was the right move. Ended up coming here two days in a row.Had the server surprise pick my entrees on both visits and they served me the red(?) curry on day #1 and the fish on day #2. Each meal was a delight and were well executed. Also got the fried banana and coconut ice cream...highly recommend you get that. Ginger beer was made from SCRATCH (who does this?!?) and was also very well done.Here's what stands out about this place...well crafted and prepared meals, friendly and capable servers that seemed genuinely glad I was there, a younger vibe with patrons. It clearly shows that they care about making great food.Go here if you have not been yet, even if you're not that into Thai.

Before talking about the food, I have to say I loved the space! The decor and feel of the Cafe was fantastic. They have unique couches for some of the tables and dimmed lighting (but enough to still see your menu and food). The staff was really kind and welcoming. Now for the meal; it was fantastic! We had some drinks and wings as appetizers (definitely get the wings) and then our full meals. All of it was savory and tasted great. I had the yellow curry and ordered it with medium spice. Recommend this place if you're looking for a chill atmosphere and great food.

The food is bursting with flavor! The Panang Curry is rich and creamy, spicy yet balanced. You won’t be disappointed.

Was recommended to this place by my coworkers so I was really excited to order from here for the first time. And here is what I got for $20. Food portion barely filled a quarter of the container, mango sticky rice was a bite size. This is a joke???

My favorite Thai food place in Phoenix for sure. I love the pad Thai noodles and the panang curry. Rachel, the owner, is wonderful and the entire staff knows what they are doing.

they changed names to zen thai. I drive 12 miles to get my chicken pad thai here. always awesome and they even customize it for me for no additional charge. great place to have lunch or dinner, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. i love it here because it has that downtown phoenix vibe. for dessert, i recommend the fried banana cheesecake- yes it’s as good as it sounds! crunchy outside shell and the banana + cheesecake inside is the bomb.

Omg hands down some of the best food I have ever had. I swear if you never tired say F it, you will not only fall in love with the food, but the amazing host, it was as if I was invited to her home for dinner. 10 stars

Stopped in for a quick bite before exploring downtown a bit. Fantastic! Loved everything. Got picture of the pot stickers.

Stumbled across this place and I’m glad I did. I was indecisive and the owner asked me a couple questions and made me something special not on the menu. It was exactly what I wanted and it was delicious. Definitely worth stopping in
