Thai Basil, how I have missed you! I was a little hesitant after all these years if the food was still amazing and it is still amazing!! I was having some trouble ordering online, so I decided to go there and order in person. I was warmly greeted and given a menu. I decided on the pad broccoli. It is simple, just broccoli, onions, and carrots in oyster sauce; but it had tons of flavor. I absolutely loved the oyster sauce, I wish that there was a little bit more of it, but it was...

This is my favorite restaurant in the valley. We'd come here all the time when we lived in the east valley. Now that we live in the west valley, we make the trip here when we're on the east side of town. Love the crispy spring rolls, crystal noodle stir fry, and red curry. The service is excellent.

Stopped in because I was at ASU and they had a good star rating. The hive-mind was correct, the food here is amazing! My wife had the Thai Basil saute (when in Rome..) and I had a green curry. Spice level of medium and spicy were both dialed in perfectly, and I forgot to take a picture of the plates because it was so appetizing we immediately started eating.
