My family dined on the patio and enjoyed the Arai Kodai experience. The waitress asked us about our food allergies and food preferences at the beginning. We thoroughly enjoyed every single dish that was served. I appreciate the description and background story that the servers shared for each dish. Our favorites were the cured fish appetizer, green mango salad, and Tom Kha Gai. I recommend trying the Arai Kodai experience! Every dish was a pleasant surprise. We got to try dishes that we would probably usually not try. There were definitely enough food served. We all left very full and satisfied. We tried 5 cocktails / mocktails. The Sahai su-ra was a crowd favorite. Very unique drink and taste but the odd combination worked great together. Would absolutely come back and try more dishes!

This place has been on my bucket list for awhile, FINALLY! Our party of 4 had an 6:45 Thursday evening reservation. Upon arrival we were greeted and seated. The vibe of the restaurant is really laid back with bar and patio seating. The restaurant was fairly full. Our server Joe introduced herself, very nice, very informative and knowledgeable about the dishes and cocktails. She had given us a rundown on how to order eating family style and how many dishes to order between the 4 of us which was suggested 7 and that we order all dishes at once. We ordered cocktails while looking over the menu. BTW the Kho Ping Khan (Gin and Vodka) Martini like drink was amazing. Dishes we ordered was the Mango Salad, Stir Fried Crab, Egg Noodles with Char Siu, Crispy Rice with Cured Pork Sausage, Tom Kha Ga

Category: Elevated Thai. The name suggests Chinese, but the food is creatively Thai. The server described the dishes as mostly family recipes, so I know the folks ate very well in those homes. The warm brick and steel dining rooms, which are laid out kind of like the rooms of a house, flow into the concrete and steel al fresco ramada dining. As the menu is family food, the restaurant’s homey layout fits it. Our friends were already seated when we arrived, so we bypassed the long queue at the door. We passed the front bar, through the hopping main dining rooms, into an outdoor passageway, and into an only slightly less hopping rear dining room with its own wood-topped bar. My only (minor) complaint was the QR code for ordering wine. If you read my reviews you know I hate them, won’t u

Best Thai food I’ve ever had. Me and one other person came to celebrate my birthday, and we were not disappointed. Reservations are tight here, so make one if possible but we took the risk. We came early (4:50pm on a Sunday) to try our luck and got a table! (Even if we didn’t, that’s ok, it clearly states reservations are recommended but maybe it was bday luck!) we got to sit at the bar, where we were greeted promptly and explained the beautiful story of the owners backgrounds and the meaning behind the menu. So amazing to see such difference simply based on region! We tried the amazing mango salad that was bright, spicy, and full of flavor. We also had the restaurant special which was a white fish dish, and the tom kha. This fed two people perfectly! We also got to try the Thai banana spl

Another excellent food spot in downtown Phoenix! Chiang-Mai style Thai-inspired dishes. Came here for the recently James Beard-awarded chef Yotaka Martin. Curry Dungeness crab was delish & well-balanced. Would 100% order again. Wings were delish. The crispiness reminded me of corn flakes. Wish the sauce wasn’t the generic sweet & sour sauce - would be better with a sweet, chili fish sauce like prik nam pla. Had the Thai tea clarified cocktail. If you’re into sweet cocktails, this is for you. I appreciated it, but I’d prob try something else next time. Hmmm it’s looking like I need to come back for the papaya salad.
