Don't let the plywood front door fool you, once you walk through the door, it's as if you walk through to a super fancy restaurant. Service was IMPECCABLE - very attentive and extremely friendly/professional! My "pad Thai" and my husband's "green curry fried rice" was AMAZING! I would rate it as one of the best pad thais that I've ever had (and I've had alot in numerous locations including Hawaii). ALSO, the price you can't beat! Very inexpensive! ... Just a weird if warning on the spice level - unless you like REALLY - and I mean REALLY- hot don't get more than 2. 3 was VERY SPICY! DELICIOUS but SPICY!

The avocado curry was the best Thai curry I've ever had. The drunken noodles with tofu was also incredible. Got both at a spice level 2 out of 5 and that was plenty. Paid with a credit card and left happy. Thanks again.

Visited this place for a late lunch today. We had great service. Food was absolutely delicious and portion sizes were very generous. With the soup, entree, spring roll, I ended up saving half of my meal for dinner. Basically, the portions are large enough to be both lunch and dinner if you are not too hungry for lunch.The coconut ice cream was so good and the right portion too!

Ordered pickup. Just one dish for lunch, avocado curry. Absolutely delicious and the serving was so generous, I personally had enough to share with my husband for dinner that night. Decided to try this place as it was slightly less expensive than the other nearby Thai places. Atmosphere looked really comfortable, would love to come back with a friend and try dine in sometime.

I ordered the tom yum soup and to my surprise it had raw tomatoes it! When I pick up the food also found out it is under new ownership! And the manager was very argumentative when I told him about the soup Do not go there and Waste your money there other Thai restaurants in Tempe that are much better lesson learned!!!! Please change the name because your the same!!

Smile Thai Cuisine gave me a frown today. I arrived around 2:20 pm on a Sunday afternoon. I was seated immediately, and given a menu. The place started filling up, and I noticed that there was only one server to take care of the entire dining room, which had about 8 or 10 tables. All tables filled up completely within the next few minutes, with parties of 3, 4 and 5 people. She asked me right away if I was ready to order, and I felt rushed. I asked to start with Chicken Satay, and then to have Green Curry as my entree, and I stuck to water as my drink. I waited around 10 minutes for her to return with my entire order... the curry and the satay came at the same time. The Chicken Satay was cold, and it was obvious it had been sitting out. The Green Curry was hot with steam rising from the bowl. The food was flavorful, and the order was correct. I didn't see the server again. There was no follow up after I was served. She was super busy taking care of all the other diners in the room.I ate my food, and asked for to-go containers, which took her about 7 minutes to return with, and she brought the bill. I dished up my to-go containers, and then took the check and containers up to the counter to pay. I didn't want to wait for her to come back, get my credit card, etc. I had to wait at the counter while the same server helped out a take-out person with their order. I felt so bad for the poor server! She was the only person out front, trying to help the full restaurant! When I paid, I told her that I was unhappy that my satay came out with the curry, and it was cold. She told me that it was their policy that when it's busy, they send out the entire order at once. OK. Be warned! Anyway - I asked why they don't have another person on staff to help out when it is busy, and she said management didn't have another person, and she has had to do her best. I got the feeling this was not the first time this had to happen. Compliments on her sweet attitude, and ready smile. She was doing her best, and I recognize that.Bottom line: Owners/Managers of the Smile This Cuisine... shame on you for keeping your restaurant understaffed out front. What could have been a pleasant and relaxing experience for me was ruined by poor service and feeling sad for the one server who had to handle the whole house. Please consider hiring another person for the lunch/afternoon time period. If there was another person, I'm sure service would have been better. The food was good, but I won't consider dining in at this restaurant again. Maybe take-out is the way to go - though I'm not sure.

The flavors and the service here are incredible! I am not a fan of chow mein but when my husband started raving about his chow mein dish, I tried a bite... and then another bite and then another. My yellow curry was equally delicious. Our group was large (10 ppl) and the waiter handled our orders and refills with ease and graciousness along with the other patrons during the lunch hour. We live across town but we will certainly make the trek back for this place!
The garlic sauce is delicious, and it's usually a nice, quiet place for a meal.

Great lil place, lunch special was delicious. The cute lil ice cream cup they gave was a nice touch for sure! The Thai coffee should be purchased as a large, anything less and you're cheating yourself.

I love this place.The green curry is fantastic.I've tried a few other dishes, but after trying the green curry its now the only thing I ever get (I go here because I specifically crave it, so its hard to justify ordering anything else.)Lots of veggies.When ordering other dishes I did like how nothing felt too greasy or heavy.Also, they have a new waiter that is delightful. He's sharp and asks the right kind of questions. I hope he sticks around.(Do not order the calamari, though. It was like squid fish sticks. Very generic frozen food looking. It was kind of comical, but they could probably drop this as an apatizer option and be better off. I already love this place, so I'm not taking off stars for a silly filler item on the menu, I'm just letting you know what to skip.)

This place has a great little place near rural and Broadway. The ambiance inside is calm and welcoming. The staff is super nice and the food is heavenly. I had the pumpkin curry today for lunch and it had made my whole week! Thank you!
