Thaitanic Kitchen — Restaurant in Tempe

Um...just in case anyone else gets a shock surprise, it's NOT THE SAME RESTAURANT! Hopefully, the new owners/management will get this updated soon. I was very excited to try some of that seafood, authentic ốc, sợ, nghiêu, etc and was set on ordering vietnamese food but was totally disappointed when I got the menu, it is all thai food with a small selection of Pho only. I was going by the reviews which was only a few weeks ago so this must've been an very recent almost overnight change.

I decided to uncomfortably stay to support what looks like mom/pop family run business and ordered the safest thing I could. Just an average chicken pad thai, it was good but nothing more than I usually make at home. Expect slow service, again seems like one young teen serving all the tables but I do remember what that was like. Most likely won't be returning, but I do wish them the very best of luck with the new business and encourage average thai food consumer to support them. If you like pei wei, you'd probably be happy here.

Also, they only had what appeared to be mom's cell phone tap to pay, and I had to manually enter my debit card info in to pay. Maybe that'll change in the...

I ordered take out from Vina’s this evening. Vegan spring rolls, vegan egg rolls, and a vegan egg roll tofu bun no cilantro no sprouts. When I got home the bun had cilantro and sprouts. I called the restaurant and they told me the cilantro and sprouts is on the side so it is “okay”. It’s not. I ordered it without those items and repeated “no cilantro no sprouts” when I placed the order. If they could not make it without sprouts and cilantro, that should have been said when I placed my order. They Zelled me a refund for the bun.

They also charge a 3% service charge for cards which is illegal in AZ to charge debit cards a surcharge.

Surcharge fees are strictly limited to credit card transactions only. Even if a customer wishes to run a signature debit transaction, where a debit card is processed as a credit transaction, you are still not allowed to implement a surcharge. They ran my debit card as credit &...

I stopped by to grab mango sticky rice for a Thai night. I was planning with my boyfriend, just in case the one I made didn’t turn out well, I wanted a backup on standby.

When I arrived, the place was empty, but it’s a cute little spot, clean and welcoming. I placed a to-go order and was told it would take about 15 minutes, but it was ready in just about 6. Service was quick and friendly.

As for the mango sticky rice itself: I let my boyfriend try both theirs and mine. He said mine was far better. Titanic Kitchen’s version was quite plain, and the mango wasn’t very fresh. I tasted both as well, mine had a much richer coconut flavor, and the fresh mango I picked up at the grocery store really made a difference.

Overall, great service and a nice atmosphere. I’d definitely be open to trying other dishes here, but I’d skip the mango sticky...
