I came here for a nice Thai noodle experience. We ordered and I'm pretty sure the cashier tricked me into double tipping (ordered 30 dollars worth of food, but final bill was like 48 dollars when I only tipped twenty percent). Then we got the food and it was cheap tasting. The broth in my soup tasted like it came from a soup packet and was immediately separating upon being served. I ordered Thai spicy but it tasted like cheap spice, not the searing goodness like I have had in the past at other Thai places. I poked at my food for about thirty minutes and ate maybe 15% of it. My wife also ordered a dish that she barely ate. Hers came with a giant pile of garden materials that took up half the plate, with no room to add the rice to her chicken. After we got our food there was zero attention paid or service. No one even asked me if it was any good, but they probably would have been embarrassed if they did. If you like Thai veggies, this is not your place: cheap undercooked Thai veggies floating in a cheap broth. Maybe this is simply a bad day for this restaurant, but I've been dining out in this town every meal for ten days, and though I've had some disappointments, this is the only time I've been so stiffed that I just had to make my concerns heard. If I was you I would think twice about coming here--and be sure to double check your pricing so you don't get overcharged for the "service." All in all, this is probably the worst Thai place I've...
Read moreMy favorite Sedona restaurant. I love the "build your own bowl": Choose your protein, your 2 vegetables, soba noodles or rice, plus your sauce"; sauce is served on the side. Ample portions provide enough for multiple meals. Newly-built restaurant with lots of tall windows & natural light. Very fast service. Food is very fresh. Pearl, the owner, has her 2nd successful restaurant in Sedona. Please read more about the owner & her approach to cooking Thai Food....

Read moreFRESH? And NATURAL? I cannot relate. I would not recommend this place to anyone that has a proper taste palette. You are in Sedona, you deserve better. We decided to try this place out because we had our dog with us, and they had a patio. Regardless, I’m going to leave this review because it’s best to get asian food reviews from an asian.
Each dish averages $15-$18. They ask if you want to add protein regardless of what you order. To add protein, it’s additional $4-$7. Seems like a scam. The 4 meals we ordered took less than 10 minutes to come out. (Hint, not fresh.) The Egg Plant, despite the medium spice level it depicts on the menu, has no spice. Just salty. It was so overcooked it almost seems like an egg plant soup. The Thai Tacos, DO NOT ORDER. When it first came out, it smelled like canned dog food. I think they use canned chicken for this and I could taste all the preservatives of the low quality meat they were using. (Hint, not fresh) The Lemon Grass Chicken was made using the same type of meat. Pineapple Fried Rice with Tofu, not memorable considering it cost $20. Listen, if you want to support local food but also get good food. Go across the street. There’s a Chinese place that has better Thai food...
