Outstanding thai food near the Phoenix Convention Center.
Be prepared to wait a while for this food because the whole town knows it's good and you'll be standing in line waiting for a table in this small quaint restaurant.
This is a family run business and the quality of the food shows they put a lot of care in the preparation.
However, they really could use some additional help.
I got the pad thai, which was really good, and the red curry with chicken, also done very well.
Portion sizes are generous and the prices are rather reasonable, as prices go these days, especially for the area.
Will definitely try again next time I'm in Phoenix.

Intimate, casual restaurant with great food.
The staff was very nice.
Its small and comfortable.
I had the spicy tai with shrimp and it came with white rice.
The portions are large and my meal was delicious.
Parking can be difficult.
