Review by Charlotte Tromp

September 01, 2024

Zen Thai Cafe is a hidden gem near the Phoenix Convention Center! 😍 The cozy atmosphere is perfect for a laid-back lunch or dinner. I tried the Spicy Pineapple Fried Rice, and it was absolutely delicious - perfectly balanced with loads of flavor.

The staff was incredibly friendly, making my dining experience even better. Don't miss their Thai iced coffee with coconut milk; it's a refreshing delight! Just a heads up, the wait can be longer due to its popularity, but the generous portions and quality food definitely make it worth it. I’ll be back for more! 🍽️
