14. Thai Thai Kitchen
10639 N 19th Ave, Phoenix
602-870-7688
https://www.thaithaikitchenazcom.wordpress.com
We have been to many Thai restaurants in the Valley, and we tried this one first because it came highly recommended on Yelp. The meal was excellent and, in our opinion, what it should have been. The restaurant is located in a small strip mall (which is probably a good thing). It sits right next to a barber at the very end, so you can imagine how busy it can be on weekends. The decor is very basic Thai/Vietnamese with a few nice touches and some OK art.
The food was excellent — one of the best we have had anywhere — but the ambiance took away from the enjoyment. Aside from the bare decor, this place does not disappoint.
13. Sala Thai Restaurant
10880 N 32nd St #29, Phoenix
602-971-1293
Don’t let the location fool you – the food at Sala Thai Restaurant is amazing! The coconut shrimp, bok choy curry, and red curry are all delicious, and the presentation of the food is beautiful. Sala Thai Restaurant is worth checking out if you’re looking for an amazing Thai dining experience! Don’t forget to try the Thai iced tea – it’s the best we’ve ever had!
12. Thai Long-An
4447 N 7th Ave, Phoenix
We’ve had Pad Thai at Long An for years, which is undoubtedly the best. The food is great, and the service is friendly. The prices are reasonable, too. Thai Long An has been in business for years and has grown from a secret tip to an institution.
The first thing you’ll notice when entering Long An is the amount of produce they use in most dishes. Thai Long An serves up an easy-to-eat assortment of Pad Thai (the traditional dish), Tom Yum (a noodle dish with coconut milk), and Moo Larb (chicken and beef cooked in spicy chili sauce), among other favorite dishes. Still, all come with generous portions and delicious flavors that will keep you returning for more time and time again!
11. Thai E-San
616 W Indian School Rd, Phoenix
602-297-8888
If you’re coming to Phoenix, add Thai E-San to your list of places to eat. This Thai restaurant is a little north of the heart of downtown Phoenix. The food is mouthwatering and very reasonably priced. The service is wonderful, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. We particularly enjoyed their Pad Thai and Green Curry. Try also their Chicken Satay — it’s some of the best we’ve ever had!

This restaurant is a bit more upscale than the others on our list, but it’s still a great place to enjoy some delicious Thai food. The decor is elegant, and the service is attentive.
