Soda Bun Thai - Mesa

Found this place by chance. Not fancy yet comfortable. Had an amazingly good Tom yum chicken and shrimp soup. I requested thai hot spiciness. ?. It didn't disappoint at all. Service was prompt, and welcoming. Food served reasonably quickly, hot and with smiles. Definitely willing to go back. ??

I ordered the Work Wok Cashews meal, and not the lunch special because I was very hungry. The food was hot (Temp), fresh and tasty. However, considering the price, I expected more than three shrimp (It was a shrimp and chicken dish). Also, the shrimp still had the tails on them. I know some restaurants leave them on, but I know several that don't. Also, there wasn't very much rice with the meal. The water was good, with no aftertaste, but served in a mason jar type glass. I think it's to give the place atmosphere, but I used the straw provided because I didn't want the challenge of drinking from a mason jar. The service was good, the place was small but very clean. The table next to me had a couple that was watching a video on their phone. The lady's laugh was more like a high pitched cackle, and extremely loud! So loud, after multiple outbursts I was just about to move to another table, as far away as I could get because she was actually hurting my ears!. I don't blame the restaurant for a patron's actions, I blame the patron. Lucky for me, the video ended and they left, so I got to finish my meal in peace. I also had the fried banana with coconut ice cream. It's worth going to at least once, but IMHO they are a bit pricey for the amount of food you receive. I've been to better places, and to far worse places.

A tiny restaurant with some good Thai food. We tried the veggie roll; it was a typical spring roll. The rice fritter was so good, it had a sweet cucumber sauce that fit the fried crispy rice. Beef panang curry was tasty. I had it spicy hot, but I could have upped it a bit personally. Tofu pad Thai was super good; med spicy was perfect. The noodles and flavor were excellent.

Really good Thai food will return for sure. Good portion for the money. I purchased Thai basil with chicken Thai hot. They have 1-5 heat with dynamite which apparently is 2 times Thai hot. The Thai hot was about a 4 on my scale. So dynamite will be next time I visit.

On our way to Angry Crab we saw this place next-door. We decided to scope it out and rummage the menu to consider a later visit. After reading reviews online, we decided to stay. It was clean (I even peeked in the back). The staff was friendly and welcoming. The food was fresh, delicious and very well presented; in spite the fact we ordered 30 minutes before closing. Our waiter actually encouraged us to take our time. I would love to see them add organic produce in the future but I will be back and I definitely recommend.
