Portion is huge. Went there yesterday, good to have lunch in this place the last day of 2024.

Diner Review №2

They weren't able to serve us. No one else in the restaurant, told they just got a take out order and it would be a while to get to us. They say they just reopened, COVID was over years ago.

Amazing food, cooked fresh to order. Will definitely be going back.

Edit: I have sadly felt the need to update my review, as I would love to order from here again. However the last 5 times I have tried the location seems to not be open during their posted business hours. Even tried a couple of times to dine in with a friend for lunch and the door was locked and closed sign posted. While business hours posted haven't changed.
Online orders have been rejected with messages saying I am ordering outside of business hours. Yet posted hours on their website say they open at 11am. The last order I tried to send for pick up was at 1145am.
Hope this location can either get people in to work or update their hours of operation, before they lose to much business. As of now I have had to order from other locations to get the food I want.

Diner Review №5

Delicious Thai food. Tried Thai basil fried rice and one curry, both were awesome. This is only a to-go place though

Diner Review №6

Great food but since switching to only take-out they’ve been melting the styrofoam containers into the food by putting the hot food directly into styrofoam from the wok. Melting styrofoam is a Health hazard. I recommend putting hot food in soup bowls.

Diner Review №7

My wife loves this place. She goes on her annual Mother's Day retreat and gets Pad Thai. A great value and a business that we will be supporting.

Diner Review №8

This little spot is amazed best thai food ever had. We ordered pad thai and yellow curry were super tasty, big portions, lovely price around here lol… Highly recommended

Diner Review №10

My visit was not in May. I am editing a previous review. I think it's a family owed business. Which really bums me out. That said, it wasn't great food. It was not Thai food. The peanut sauce was a clump of peanut butter in a cup. The basil fried rice was complete mush. The salad rolls were so big that it was impossible to even take a bite. When sliced, they completely fell apart. The Masseman curry had little flavor and was very thick - I've never seen thick curry. The portions were huge - sadly, just more food to throw away.
I tried speaking to the owner, she responded with irrational anger.

Diner Review №11

Heaping lots of delicious food. Very affordable. Call ahead.

Diner Review №12

Had the food not been so tasty, I would have taken a picture for you to see! Everything was exceptional. If you're looking for quality, fresh food at an excellent price then this is your place!

Diner Review №13

It was the best food I have had in a while. The portions are huge so beware lol. Its takes a lil time to get your food but it's worth the wait with the fresh food you get. It's kinda hidden but a must try.

Diner Review №14

The food is great and the portions are HUGE! They even provided free wontons prior to the entree. You do have to wait a bit long for the food, but it is definitely worth the wait. The prices are decent as well (lunch and dinner options for most their entrees).
The staff doesn't seem to speak much English so you should probably know what you want prior to going.

Diner Review №15

A little cafe, hidden away in a strip mall, it’s well worth checking out. It’s unpretentious, but the food is good, the portions are huge, and the prices are more than reasonable. Order the lunch size option and you will still have enough leftovers for a second meal. The chicken fried rice was tasty and the Pad Thai was really good.
If you like a freshly made meal, this is the place for you. The wait might be a little longer, but the food is worth the few extra minutes.

Diner Review №16

The ladies here can really cook. Wide variety of Thai/Vietnamese cuisine to choose from. Service is just as good too. One of my favorite lunch spots around.

Diner Review №17

Depending on when you get here, dont expect quick service, but the food is more than worth the wait. The food here is the closest thing I have had to what I ate in Thailand. They may also be out of certain things, but they have a large menu and I have not had a bad meal here. The portions are also huge and you will want to take home your leftovers.

Diner Review №18

The pumpkin curry is delicious. Very generous portions.

Diner Review №19

Diner Review №20

Veggie lover with shrimp was DELICIOUS!! Hubs had Pad see-ah with chicken and it was great as well!! Family run (English is not well spoken, but special requests of no veggies in the pad see-ah was understood.) will definitely be back even tho they were a bit slow.

Diner Review №21

Amazing food and good service.
I ordered pineapple curry, crispy calamari, papaya salad, and combo fried rice. Everything is so good 😋

Diner Review №22

Our family loves Paradise! We often order several dishes for takeout and share family style. We've yet to be disappointed by anything we've ordered--always delicious!

Diner Review №23

Amazing I have ordered togo two times from grubhub food is perfect.

Diner Review №24

Wonderful food, worth the short wait.

Diner Review №25

This place was AMAZING!!! The serving sizes were very generous. Everything I had seemed to be freshly prepared and made to order. Due to this the food takes a bit to come out but be patient it is well worth it! Pictured below is the BBQ and spring roll vermicelli 😃

Diner Review №26

Absolutely delightful family owned restaurant! I’m 6’8 250 and these portion sizes are MASSIVE. Ignore the double dollar sign as it’s actually more affordable than the other Thai restaurants in the Chandler area.

Diner Review №27

Food was amazing. I ordered online Togo. It was for a party of 10. Everyone of the guest loved the food and requested the name of this place. Quantity and quality. Packaging everything was excellet

Diner Review №28

All the flavors are perfect. Everything is cooked amazingly. Go try their Roaring Tiger dish, I loved it. Enough to feed 2-3 people.

Diner Review №29

First time ever coming here and the food was good. They were very friendly and helpful. Definitely coming back again.

Diner Review №30

Excellent tasting food and you get a lot of it. Really good value

Diner Review №31

Delicious food and great portions. Ordered the shiitake mushrooms, veggie delight, and BBQ pork.

Diner Review №32

Dinner size is huge and could be use as leftover on the next day.

Diner Review №33

General American Thai food for anyone who've never eaten a properly prepared Asian meal, or have no other option. We bought Tom Yum soup, Fried rice, and Drunken Noodle.

Meat in Tom Yum tasted unseasoned and was over 50% of total soup, amount of mushrooms far below what was depicted in the menu. Barely could get through the flat-tasting meat before I decided to stop eating.

Fried Rice and Noodle dishes had over seasoned rice/noodles, all of it salt. The meat /veggies tasted unseasoned, like the soup.

One star as there is double the amount of food per entree. This counts for something. Overall terrible.

Diner Review №34

Friendly staff. Best deal for Thai food I have ever seen! Got the Pad Thai and my plate was massive, it could feed a family!

Diner Review №35

This is the best Thai restaurant I have tried in America. The flavor and the portions are incredible! I really wish I found out sooner about Paradise kitchen, everything on the menu is authentic as in Thailand plus the owner is a very sweet lady.

Diner Review №36

This is my favorite place! The food is really tasty and they have nice big serving sizes! So so yum!

Diner Review №37

Amazing food! Family owned. Love this place!

Diner Review №38

Really good and flavorful Thai food. Huge portions with good price. Very nice waitress.

Diner Review №39

I can't honestly say that I can give Paradise Kitchen a five star review. That review was for Thai Paradise under the previous owners. I don't know anything about Paradise Kitchen. I have not been to Paradise Kitchen. I tried to change the like button, but I was unable to do so.

Diner Review №40

Wow wow wow. Great food, great value. Ordered for three could easily have fed ten and everything was top notch. We didn't even make a dent. Definitely recommend and look forward to returning.

Diner Review №41

Horrible. I ordered the pineapple fried rice mild and got something spicy with rubbery chicken. I called them regarding it and the woman did not care. No wonder they had no customers picking up food or ordering take out.

Diner Review №42

so happy I found this place and it was open during the day unlike the other Thai places. Everything we ordered was excellent and the best of the best and I would recommend this to anyone plus they make smoothies and cool drinks and have cool ice cream and everything here is cool and wow wow wow!

Diner Review №43

Always loved this place. Best food and great service ❤️

Diner Review №44

If you like thai food ....or if your a fan of food in general just drive past this place. Crab puffs tasted spoiled. All of our entrees tasted like they added sugar to everything. you're better off with gas station sushi.

Diner Review №45

I promise you that you can skip this place if you are looking for good Thai. We ordered for delivery and basically threw everything out except for the spring rolls and went to go get fast food instead.

Diner Review №46

Only 3 because they are slow, food is good!

Diner Review №47

Don’t eat here if you want Thai food, this is too far from what it supposed to be. Look more like left over food! I’m very disappointed! :/

Diner Review №48

Very disappointed because of the generally favorable reviews. The restaurant smelled like cigarette smoke. I got the crab and jumbo shrimp pad thai. It didn’t smell great, very fishy smell so the seafood was not fresh at all (I know, seafood in the desert, but still). It didn’t taste too good either, just bland. My wife got the yellow curry which was pretty good, not amazing, she thought it was a little gritty. I will say that the spring rolls were very good and the portion sizes are huge, so that’s a plus. I will probably give it another shot, maybe it was an off day, but steer clear f the seafood.

Diner Review №49

Diner Review №50

This place is amazing! I love their yellow curry. Also it's super convenient to order online.

Diner Review №51

I love this place and the food is so very, very good! My husband and daughter loved the food as well with the fresh cuts of carrots, cabbage and not the frozen bag of vegetables but nice chucks cooked just right and the food portions are huge. We just couldn't get enough and overate lol. 💯❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 South Bend,IN

Diner Review №52

Smells less than pleasant inside, thought it was just me being critical but when I got my fruit smoothie and it tasted rotten them I knew I wasn’t tripping. I asked for a replacement, something prepackaged they sell but don’t make but the cashier refused. So now I’m 2 smoothies and $11.00 short 😭

Diner Review №53

Very consistently great! Been trying to find new Thai favorites after moving from Tempe, and Paradise Kitchen has been our go-to. Not the biggest fan of their Pad Thai unfortunately (only inconsistent dish I've gotten here) but that is soooo made up for by having amazing Khow Soi curry!

Diner Review №54

This place is awesome! Some of the best Thai around!

Diner Review №55

Fresh cooked and HUGE portions.

Diner Review №56

Initially, I didn’t get what I had ordered. (They were extremely busy) I called In so that I could explain the situation and try to get something figured out and they were already tracking and in the process of making my food and making up for the confusion. The woman on the phone was very kind and apologetic and they even drove out to my apartment to deliver what I had initially ordered!
I am very appreciative for their actions to fix the error, and the food was so good! I will definitely be ordering again!

Diner Review №57

The chef/hostess was a very sweet person. They had some amazing pho and Thai food. The mango smoothie was also very flavourful. Must visit.

Diner Review №58

Diner Review №59

Huge portions, and generous amount of meat. We had seafood pad thai and chicken thai panang. Both had great flavor. We usually order medium spice, but here I will try hot next time. We had plenty of left over after we filled up. The last two pictures are what was left after 2 of us ate. Update: we came back for spring rolls, chicken satay and hot red curry with pork. The hot curry was a step up from medium, but I think we might even try thai hot next visit. It's more about flavor than heat here. Very tasty! Oh good strong thai tea also!

Diner Review №60

Probably the 3rd times I've been. I drove out of my way 20 mins just to have it. I actually ordered online and I guess that postmates handles that, even though I was picking up.
I went to pick up my food, and they never got my order (turns out postmates cancelled for some reason). The lady working still gave me the lunch deal for my beef pad thaiand nd everything was AMAZING. Will definitely be going back soon.

Diner Review №61

Ordered it through door dash. It took them close to two hours to make. My egg rolls and crab puffs were burnt. There was liquid all in the bag.
Would not recommend!

Diner Review №62

Everything I've ordered has tasted excellent. Need to work on ambiance though.

Diner Review №63

Their pad see ew so amazing and friendly sevice i really recommend this place

Diner Review №64

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS RESTAURANT! The food you will receive is spoiled and they will not give you a refund at all. They will argue stating there is nothing wrong. They will continue to call you and show up to your job if you ordered it through GrubHub.
STAY CLEAR FROM THIS PLACE.

Diner Review №65

Diner Review №66

Really good... Hidden gem.

Diner Review №67

Diner Review №68

Diner Review №69

Wow! Wow! Wow! We were out this way for a Craig’s list pickup and got hungry. The portions were huge, all homemade, affordable, just wow. I need to remember this place in our next venture down this way. We prefer traditional Asian menu items and we were both very impressed. How many more positive compliments can I possibly put in this to encourage you to try to out? Nuff said, show up and have some food. We got the pot stickers, dream spring roll, “lunch special” soup (which in itself was great) the bbq chicken and fish curry. It’s all amazing.

Diner Review №70

I ordered the Thai Shiitake Mushrooms. I tried it many other Thai restaurants. It was the best here. Highly recommend this one.

Diner Review №71

This place was amazing!!! I ordered the Red Seafood Curry!! It was soooooo amazing along with the steamed mussels I had for a appetizer!! Also their Avacado Smoothie is a must have! Our server was so friendly and her smile brightened my day soooooo much!!!! This may have to be a weekly go to!!!!

Diner Review №72

Diner Review №73

I have to say I was very disappointed. Went with my family, party of seven and we each ordered all different items. Everyone was disappointed. The flavor was bland and not authentic tasting at all. The food may be Thai, but the staff working that night was not. The sticky rice was old and dried out and covered in an oily substance. This is not traditional sticky rice by any means. I will not go back. The only positive I can give is large portion sizes. Very unsatisfying meal overall.

Diner Review №74

We ordered the Tom Kha Soup and the Drunken Noodles. Both were pretty tasty, though the soup was a little sweeter than what I'm used to. Mango Sticky Rice for dessert was a healthy portion and quite good.

Diner Review №75

They have good foods and friendly service. The restaurant circumstance is nice and clean. I will definitely come again next time.

Diner Review №76

This is the 3rd time we've been and it is never disappointing. So yummy! So authentic! Presentation was pretty. You wont be disappointed!!!

Diner Review №77

Strip mall place., Clean and the food was very good. Especially the broth, mmm. The only issue, number of people working at lunch time appeared to be only two. Waited over 35 minutes after ordering. Too long!

Diner Review №78

Really loved the authenticity of Thai food. The customer service is great. Went there thrice last week!

Diner Review №79

Great place..excellent food. Gracious owner, chief cook and bottle washer.

Diner Review №80

I love Thai food - and try every restaurant I can find. The food here is amazing. The place looks like a complete dive and there is usually just one man working there. We mostly get food to go, and it is excellent. I haven't had a bad meal to date.
As with any Thai, use caution when specifying the level of spicy. I love spicy food but usually order one level below "Thai hot".

Diner Review №81

Thai Paradise is a small Thai restaurant with authentic and delicious food. I'm glad I stopped here. As a cook my self, I can only say the food is perfect. Eat here!

Diner Review №82

Diner Review №83

Diner Review №84

I liked the food, the service was kindful, and the portions are big

Diner Review №85

Diner Review №86

Authentic Thai
food, plenty of spice if you need it. The Thai tea is phenomenal! Great Place!!!!

Diner Review №87

Came here with the kids. Service was fast and friendly and EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS!! We are kinda Thai junkies. We eat it everywhere we go, and believe me, this place is special. Delicious flavors and recipes and FRESH ingredients. Prices are very reasonable too.

Diner Review №88

Diner Review №89

The person there was extremely nice. The food was ready fast, and was a huge portion. However, as some of the other reviews stated, the chicken was overcooked. The taste was good, and the price was okay. I love Thai food, however I am not sure that I would return here. I was really hoping for more.

Diner Review №90

I ordered the sweet-and-sour chicken dish and it was the most disgusting smelling dish I have ever had at any restaurant. The dish literally smelled like wet dog, I could not believe that a dish could smell like wet dog. If there's someone you really don't like send them there, I have never left a bad review for any restaurant but this one deserves it. I love Thai food but Typically the dishes at other restaurant don't smell like wet dog. I wish I could give lower than one star more like -100 on this review, just absolutely disgusting food here.

Diner Review №91

Worst food , very very rude owner , he was behaving as if we went there for free food , I will never ever recommend this worst place for anyone , I want to give zero star ... but unfortunately only one star is lowest.

Diner Review №92

Worst food. AWFUL. I could have had better from a CAN. I ordered a very simple dish: chicken and vegetables, medium spicy. When I got home, the bag was about 1/3 full of watery leakage. Not a major deal by itself, but when I opened the container the meal was about 80% bamboo shoots (no exaggeration!), with a few slices of crinkle cut carrots, chicken strips and big chunks of POTATO. The dish was ENTIRELY without flavor of any kind. I literally had to get out a bag of mixed vegetables and mix it in for it to be chicken with vegetables, and then add garlic chili sauce and soy sauce to make it palatable. The person working treated me ok, but was very rude to the patron that was leaving when I arrived. I would never recommend this place to anyone. There are far too many good places to to eat to waste your time at this horrible place.

Diner Review №93

I tried the spicy basil rice, the sauce is great but it is really really really spicy for me. The meat is kind of overlooked, the soup is good tho! Little bit salty.

Diner Review №94

Horrible service, was hung up on 3 times. Yelled at on the phone for asking what was in an app. Then went to see what was going maybe they were busy or having a bad day. Come to find out i spoke to the manager on the phone, no one was in the place. He said he was busy cooking but only person eating was him and his employee. When i asked what was going on, why did he hangup on a customer, thats how you make money. He asked if i wanted to fight him. No customer service. Food might be good but ill never try it. Sucks because i love thai food

Diner Review №95

Diner Review №96

When are you open?

We came here at lunch time, and their hours said they were open. The sign was even flashing OPEN. Locked tight and no one there.

Diner Review №97

Enjoyed the red curry lunch special. Very good food with authentic spices and flavors! Excited to find a new Thai place here in Chandler!

Diner Review №98

Best thai food in Chandler easy. And the service is amazing. The owner has hand prepared our meal several times and it's always perfect!!! Will be back again probably tomorrow :)

Diner Review №99

Best service and awesome food! We return often!

Diner Review №100

Best Thai food around, with even better service from the owner! Never been disappointed. Oh ya try the crab puffs also!

Diner Review №101

Delicious. Casual. Clean. Great services. Good prices. Will go again.

Diner Review №102

Absolutely delicious! Stumbled across this gem by accident a couple of weeks ago. It was superb, went back again today to make sure it wasn't just a fluke. As soon as my friend and I entered the owner recognized us and welcomed us back. Asked him to cook us whatever he wanted, and again it was simply amazing. My favorite dish is the drunken noodles, but the yellow ginger chicken is a close second. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Diner Review №103

The gentleman working is always nice and is a great cook.

Diner Review №104

Diner Review №105

Worst customer service. Went with my 5 year old son and he spilled water accidentally. I apologized for that. But the person wiping the table didn't even look at me as a sign of acknowledgement.Would never go there again.

Diner Review №106

For authentic and delicious thai food at a great price for the massive quantity given, no place is better. I've tried four or five different items off the menu, and I haven't once been dissapointed.

Diner Review №110

Diner Review №111

The food was awful... The restaurant had a strange smell and most of the food on the menu were not available. There were only 4 people when I arrived. It took the guy 10min before he came to our table to take our order.

I asked for water and some lemon in it, he told me he didn't have any. I asked him to just bring the water which never came! There was one guy working and he was clueless as if it was all too much for him! Aweful experience! If I could give this place a zero star, I would have.

Diner Review №112

Just had lunch there, less than an hour ago. Ordered the spiciest lunch on the lunch menu. Asked how spicy? So they asked me, how spicey. I said HOT. It came quite mild. I suggest making it clear about how spicey the food can be prepared, and extending the range to the hot side. Or bring your own sauce.

Diner Review №113

Awesome. If you're looking for great Thai food, come here.

Diner Review №114

We came here once looking for good Thai food. We were not impressed. It was just low quality almost fast food.

Diner Review №115

Owner was awesome. Food was the closest I have had since I was in Thailand. Just an amazing experience!

Diner Review №116

worst pad thai I've ever had!

Diner Review №117

excellent food and customer service. highly recommend the Tum Yum Guy, green chicken curry, and crab fried rice.

Diner Review №118

They're awesome, super friendly people and a great (and cheap) lunch special.

Diner Review №119

We got Thai iced tea and egg rolls... Great value and the quality was good. The place was also very clean.

Diner Review №120

Diner Review №121

Very unfriendly welcome and service. If you are vegan or vegetarian don't go, there is nothing in menu.

Diner Review №122

Good Pad Thai noodles. Friendly staff. I got my food fast every time I've been there.

Diner Review №123

Great food, huge portions and quick service. My new Thai restaurant.
