Unfussy, family-run cafe for classic Thai cooking including vegetarian items in a strip-mall space.
Randomly stopped by for lunch and LOVED IT! We got pad Thai (heat level 3) and sweet and sour chicken. It was a perfect level of spice and flavor for pad Thai and we also loved the sweet and sour chicken. As an added bonus the staff was super fast and so friendly. This is one of those perfect locally owned places that deserves repeat visits!
Random find for me. Wanted some Thai food so searched and this highly rated place could be passed up. It's located in a regular shopping mall. First impression walking in was all the clutter they have on the counter and behind it. But my over all experience was great. Definitely enjoyed the food. I wanted my noodles hot. She recommended me to go mid range because it's already really hot. It wasn't spicy at all. So if u want a kick get the level 5. Sent it! I don't agree o. The price but it's just how it is these days. I'll definitely be back.
"Pleasantly Surprised" ... These are the words that flashed across my mind after completing a delicious meal at Thai Plates Cuisine. From the outside, this inconspicuous and unpretentious restaurant is NOT a reflection of the quality of the food you will receive. The family style service is a welcome change from the normal controlled atmosphere of a typical restaurant. If you're in this part of town and looking for tasty Asian cuisine, please visit Thai Plates.
Our new favorite Thai place! Their Coconut Soup is the best we’ve had. Panang curry and cashew chicken were great. Mango was not in season so for dessert we got the sticky rice with Thai custard and really liked it. Very yummy!!
Super glad I tried this place. It had the most delicious items, but warning it's got extra spices and herbs most places don't do.
Crab puffs were filled with onions and couple other things. Golden tofu was so perfectly fried, I loved it. I got lunch pad Thai with med spicy, I could use a pinch more spiciness but still delicious. And as well, panang curry with medium spiciness. It was very good, had lemongrass and was spicy.
Overall, I've enjoyed all I've tried
Excellent place for lunch. $10.95 for most lunches. I had Pad Thai which also includes a small salad and small spring roll. My wife had Kung Pao lunch with the same sides and both were outstanding.
Very tasty, good prices, and I don't think you can get better service at a restaurant than here.
Impressed and we are foodies.
Pad Thai and Orange Chicken, both terrific
Salad & egg roll included for $ 7.50.

Always consistent, and always fantastic. Family owned, they are very sweet and put their heart into everything.

Teeny tiny thai place, family ran and it's always exceptional food, enough leftovers for a second meal.
The Tom Yum soup is amazing 👏 🤩 😋
We finally went based on high recommendation from friends. So sorry we waited so long to go!! It's actually our favorite place now! Absolutely FANTASTIC restaurant!! Can't give it a high enough rating!! Clean, friendly, fast, customer service beyond great and the flavors are out of this world!!! If you're not sure what to order, ask - they are great at helping you decide. 👍👍👍👍👍
Party of 8 arrived at 230pm and was informed that we could only get takeout as they close at 3pm.
Exceptional Thai food with very hardworking and polite staff
great place
This place is great, the food the employees, my number one dish I enjoy the most here, is their wonton soup. Oh man is it good, check them out and give them a try yourself. I highly recommend visiting and enjoy a great meal.

Great food and big portions, will definitely come again!
Nice little Thai Restaurant. Impressed that they actually have This Spice and not just American Spice. We all ordered 4 out of 5 for spicy and it was great. 5 would have been good, but too spicy to taste the wonderful flavors. Mango Sticky Rice!!!! Yum! Missed this from my trip to Thailand.
Delicious, great service, great prices. I’ll definitely be coming back
We have been coming here for years. Lovely family owned small business. We dine in as well as take out. The food is awsome and with out any MSG. We have tried many Thai restaurants and by far this is our favorite place to eat. Will be coming here far many more years
It was my wife and I’s first time a couple weeks back.. I believe it’s the best green curry I have ever had and she agreed. We can’t wait to return!
Finally, good curry in the east valley again 🥲 the veggies in the yellow tofu curry were all crinkle cut and cooked to perfection. Tasted like when I used to work at a Thai restaurant in Seattle.
I went to lunch here on a whim, and turn out to be the best Thai food I had to date.
Great service and delicious!
My review is predicated on the attitude of a rather rude maitre d and this restaurant's "posted" vs "actual" hours of operation. The hours posted state 8:30 pm as closing. My dining companion and I arrived at 7:55. We were met with a sing-songy "sorry, we can't serve you because we close in a half hour"
WTH?
...Restaurant policy SHOULD BE one of SEATING CUSTOMERS up through posted closing time! (and certainly not one of "flipping shade").
Will update aspects of this review when (IF) I ever return.
My advice until then:
Don't drive far....you may waste your time, gas, and leave hungry!
ARRIVE Plenty EARLY - IF you want to be seated and served!
The drunken noodle is amazing. The “That hot” spicy level is really good. Spicy but not going to make the food inedible. We also got green curry and it was delicious as well. I ordered papaya salad because it’s my favorite dish in Thailand and it’s hit or miss when ordered in the states but I think this restaurant does it really well.
i’ve been going there since the start of quarantine and i’ve always been treated very well.

Actually 4.5 stars. It's very good but not amazing. Smallish portions n not that spicy, flavorful tho. If they were in Tucson they'd rule.
I enjoyed my eggplant with pork 😋 My husband's grilled shrimp salad would have been excellent if the shrimp were actually grilled n the spicy dressing was less salty. Plenty of shrimp tho.
Quite a few tables at lunch on Friday mostly old white people. We'd eat there again if we're in the neighborhood. It's a tiny little place tucked away in a shopping center. Easy to miss
Delicious food and great service 😋
Best Thai Here in AZ but Really miss Aroy Mak Thai and Chicc Chicc Thai in West Seattle.
We went there looking at the good reviews and we were not disappointed. Attentive service, clean place and fabulous food. We had vegetable soup which was pretty good. Also golden tofu , prink king and yellow curry. Loved all of it , everything was freshly made and tasty. If you like Thai food , I would recommend
Everything is top shelf. The food, the service, the atmosphere, and the cost are all exceptional. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who has ever visited Thailand.
Great place. The food and service were fantastic.
Absolutely delicious food and helpful, friendly owners.
Best Thai Food In Mesa!! 😁
Great service, super friendly. Lots of repeat customers, that says a lot about a business. Consistently delicious food.
Awesome food and service!
Awesome food and priced reasonably well. Great service...
Saw this in corner while in route to a store close to it. Decided to stop in give a chance. My mom and I were wowed! Tom yum so freakin delicious, presentation authentic and stunning! Second serving at home for lunch today incredible! Very hospitable staff
Excellent food cooked to perfection and service with a smile definitely check out and you'll be very happy😊
Good food and great value
Delicious food served by the lovely & attentive owners.
Have eaten here innumerable times. Never been disappointed! The owner is the best surpassed only by the food. Can’t pick a favorite. It’s all so good!
Small place, clean, quick, nice service. The best food I’ve ever had. My favorite.
Wow, great service here! Good food and good prices. Would love to see pad se ew added to lunch menu, but vegetable medley was great.
This is the best place to eat. I don't like it hot but my friend does and they don't have a problem adjusting the dish. Great food, great service.
Such yummy food! If you don't like spicy, pick a low number- I love spicy and their hot is HOT😋
This family run restaurant has amazing food! The restaurant is clean, service is polite and friendly, and the food comes out quickly and always tastes fantastic! Best Thai food in Mesa!
Honestly the BEST Thai food I've had in my life. The pad Thai was delicious and the mango sticky rice is to die for. The server was super attentive and fast and the food was made super quick as well. 10/10 would recommend, I'm definitely gonna be back in the future
Last week was the second time I visited Thai Plates. It has been a couple of years. In fact I had forgotten I had history with this place. The food was ordinary. However the service/owner is my challenge. They do not service alcohol. Which is OK. I do prefer having a beer or glass of wine with my dinner. The first time I asked the server/owner why. He reported there was some sort of drug rehab facility in the area and he could not get a license because of that. Upon my visit last week, realizing I had been there before, I asked the server/owner if he ever got a license? He replied he could not for he had underage family members that worked there. Which is it????? I feel he was untruthful at least one of the times. Also, my dining companion was not satisfied with his Won Tons. He mentioned it to the server/owner, His reply was his wife makes them and walked off. There is customer service ;) Next the server/owner was not pleasant at all. I do not recall him ever cracking a smile. Oddly, the place was filled. He even turned down people coming in the door 45 minutes before closing time!?!??!
Food was great, very tasty. Staff was polite and attentive. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for some authentic tasting Thai dishes, we had the Chicken larb, yellow curry noodles, chicken pad Thai, Thai fried rice. I can’t say one bad thing about any of the dishes except I had to unbutton my pants 😂
Great Thai food! Probably the best in Mesa.
They were happy to modify my order to be vegan and the food was very good (tasty). I ordered dine in and the dining area was pleasant and clean. All good to me. I would definitely go back. It's right across the the street from the Banner Baywood hospital.
Some of the best Thai food we have ever had! We tried the eggplant dish and a curry - both with tofu, and it was so delicious and full of veggies! Also the spice level was perfection. We will definitely be back. Really grateful we found this special gem.
Yellow curry with chicken. Vegetables and curry tasted good. Good spice level. But when I tasted the chicken I wanted to puke. It was so spoiled I couldn’t finish the meal. Only other time I’ve had chicken like that is when someone thawed out old frozen chicken in water. Not sure what is up with their chicken.
I have been getting take out from here for about a year now. I absolutely love this restaurant. The service is always fabulous, the owners and their family are so so kind and pleasant to deal with. The food is always fresh and hot and consistently delicious.
Good Thai place in the area

Not bad, moderate prices.
Amazing food, amazing staff. Quick service. Great place.
Nothing wrong here, just didn't wow me, taken off my go to list.
We visited for dinner, not too busy. My wife and I tried the Pad Thai with shrimp. Mmmm, delicious. The proprietor, Tommy, offered suggestions to our friend regarding gluten-free options. The service was excellent, water glasses refilled without us having to ask. Nice place, good atmosphere.
Great food and very friendly staff!
The green curry was a little blah. And way spicier than the medium it claimed to be.
Thai Plates Cuisine has the BEST Pad Thai in Arizona! Also, the coconut soup (#12, Tom Ka Gai) is to die for. I would suggest getting the large size because you will want more and more! Everything we have ordered has been top shelf. We have never been disappointed in any dish yet and we have eaten here many times.
Especially lijed the spicy basil with tofu. Mmm!
Excellent food. A bit on the pricey side for the portion size, but the flavor of the eggplant stir fry is amazing.
No matter how many times I go or what I get, it is always consistently good.
Truly enjoyed every bite. So fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend this restaurant. If you like spicy this is it!
This is a wonderful establishment! The crab wontons and Thai fried rice were exceptional! But everything was excellent!!!
They have always been amazing and a great place to fill your bellies and I always take some to go. Big portions, friendly faces, and so delicious! Thank you so much for being open!
The food was SO delicious!!
Gr8 amazing food. Gluten free.
Absolutely love this place for Thai Food! I go here at least once a month. Highly recommend!
Snowbirds love this place in the winter too! I will be back in May!
One of the best Thai food places close to where we live. Always friendly service, excellent food made the way you like it and a very friendly environment.
Best Thai in town
I've eaten at lots of different places... none are as good as here... i promise... go try it you'll love it
So Fresh n anything on the menu is 🔥
Lovely and friendly environment, the service was so good and the food was well prepared and served fresh.
Best Thai around
The food is just delicious. If you want to try authentic Thai food this is the place for you.
Eat here often, our favorite Thai food.
Delicious and well prepared food. We arrived at 2:15, to get takeout. Owners let us know they close from 3:00-4:30, before the dinner hour. Sweet people, great food!
It was good tasty beef was tender maybe I'm just old but it seems $17 for one plate of stir fry and a little white rice is a lot
Hands down the best pad thai I've ever had! Staff was very nice and fast as well.
Great Food
The service was alright but was busy there so I can understand. Now we got the lunch special. It was good I will go back. The old guy there I like him to the point I like that.
Super glad I tried this place. It had the most delicious items, but warning it's got extra spices and herbs most places don't do.
Crab puffs were filled with onions and couple other things. Golden tofu was so perfectly fried, I loved it. I got lunch pad Thai with med spicy, I could use a pinch more spiciness but still delicious. And as well, panang curry with medium spiciness. It was very good, had lemongrass and was spicy.

Best Thai food in Mesa.
Food is absolutely 💯!! Tommy is great and his wife is so kind. Combination Fried Rice is AWESOME!!
Fresh, my scale of perfect spiciness (#3 out of 5), delicious appetizer. Hosts always very attentive, willing to please, polite & fast ! Today I tried spring rolls filled with fresh tasty lettuce, shrimp, cucumber. A main course of Spicy Asparagus which is becoming a favorite ! Only one thing is wish more white rice as I always order extra, but not sure if charged, lol
My friend ordered green curry with shrimp She found 2 pieces. When we called they they said there 6 pieces and they don't lie When we ate in we actually enjoyed this restaurant. It would be okay if you count the shrimp 🙂
Very tasty food, good prices, great service. One of the best in the valley
Hands down better than Thai Patio, Tom Nak, Thai place Sourthern /Signal Butte.
Quality food, presentation.
This place is amazing. The food is fresh and delicious every time. Always ready exactly on time. I love the spring rolls. My kid loves the orange chicken and fried rice. Even the steamed veggies are good. Plus it’s so much more reasonably priced than other nearby Thai joints. Larger portions, smaller prices.
Not able to order on line !
Great food and great service!
I’ve been going to this place for years and it’s so delicious. They’re consistent and always so pleasant. I highly recommend ☺️
This place has the worst Thai food I have ever had. Very bland…taste less. When I tried to discuss it with the owner. He said to go somewhere else. Zero service at this place. Save your taste buds, don’t go here.
My favorite place ever best orange chicken I've ever had
Friendly staff. Great eats
I want to give them 5 stars if their service is better , I am by myself and order almost $20 dollar food and waiting for 20 min to get food and walk to the cashier to check out by myself but the waiter was asking me must tip him ?????? U”is tipping a mandatory in USA /AZ ? I feel very uncomfortable cus I am coming to enjoy food specially by myself ,why I have to overpay a dish specially I am waiting long time plus I walk myself to check out .
Thai Plates is the Best Thai Restaurant in the City! We Love the Pad Thai and the Pineapple fried rice and you choose the spice. Wonderful family owned Business!
Super fresh food! Love it.
Great food here! I had the green currie with chicken.
Best Thai food experience we've had. The food was great, the presentation was beautiful, even the prices were reasonable. I highly recommend you try this place... if you can get in, it's very popular, which is why I decided to check it out. We will definitely be back.
The owner is super friendly, sorry to say I really only eat the orange chicken or the Pad thai but both are delicious.
Great food!
Very good food, clean restaurant and friendly, efficient staff.
Hubby and I wanted something light so each an ordered fresh spring rolls - excellent. Veggies very fresh. Ordered extra peanut sauce cause we looooove peanut sauce and it was delish.
To pricey small portions flavor is good
Delicious spicy Pad Thai and Orange chicken.
Love this place. I always get the pineapple curry. Everything is fresh. Crab wontons are always on point. Orange chicken is delish, yummy soups hit the spot, not to mention they make their sweet and sour sauce in house, it's so good.
Best Thai food I have found in the valley, hands down. Just make sure you check the hours of operation before you go.
The food was excellent
Best thai food I have EVER had!!!
I went for lunch and enjoyed it so much I went the next day for dinner! Great lunch specials for eight to ten bucks and dinner was a large Tom Yum for $12.50! Very delicious!
Some of the best food around.
Best Thai food, I love this place so much. Everyone is so friendly and amazing! My favorite place to go eat
Best food in the East valley..
We moved here from LA about 7 months ago and we have been looking for a good Thai restaurant and this is definitely it. The only problem is it's close to 20 miles from our house. We used to have a go to place in the San Fernando Valley and this place is every bit as good. My wife loves Pad Woon Sen/Pork and this is the only place on the East side of town I've found it. It was very good. I got Pad See Ew and the amount of meat and broccoli was perfect. They also use Americanized broccoli which I prefer so it was all good. I'll have to make another trip here unless I can find something in QC or STV that's as good.
First time customer.
This place has amazing food from the Thai tea, to the Pad Thai to the delicious sticky rice.
It's my new 1st choice of restaurants.
Service and atmosphere was good too.
Food lacks flavor panda express is more authentic than this place
Very good food, great service
For all these people complaining about a small business having to close for staffing issues, you guys need Jesus! We are in the middle of a pandemic still, stop being selfish. If you want a place that is open 24/7 go to McDonald’s. If you would have thought about someone other than yourself, you could have thought about calling the restaurant first and from that you would have learned that they are closed for what ever day. This place is ran by a husband and wife who are they every day, quite being so sensitive about them some times being closed. Customer service workers are not here to be your emotional support, again stop being sensitive. This place is the only place we go for the best tasting taiwanese cuisine. 5 stars!
For health reasons, I have to drink distilled water with added trace minerals. I brought in my glass water bottle and was immediately told I can’t have outside food or drink. It was clearly water and I said I needed to bring my own for health reasons. They said, “we have water” and repeated it three times as I was explaining that I needed my own due to health problems. They eventually said it was fine, but it was so incredibly awkward at this point. We left before ordering. If I was bringing in a six pack of beer, I’d understand, but not letting me bring in my own bottle of water was really extreme, unnecessary, and discriminatory toward those with dietary restrictions.
Drove across town to try Thai Plates Cuisine. It is a small place nestled in a strip mall. Dinning area was neat, unassuming, and comfortable. Thursday night and at 90% capacity. Our party ordered crab puffs and Coconut Chicken soup for starters. Presentation of the crab puffs was very nice. The puffs were cooked perfectly and were very tasty. Came with fresh grated carrots and purple cabbage. The highlight was the dipping sauce...obviously made in house and delicious, not generic red sweet and sour garbage. Coconut chicken soup was spot on and had the perfect balance of broth and contents. Delicious flavor. Pad Thai with shrimp and chicken was amazing...shrimp was cooked perfectly and the flavor! Yummy! Panang curry with beef, again was well prepared and delicious. Overall, one of the better Thai establishments I've been to across the country let alone Phoenix metro. Worth the trip. Get everything Thai hot for best enjoyment!
Really good food!!
Excellent chicken satay. Chicken chow mein is flavorful and fresh. My brother likes their phad thai. We've eaten in and service was excellent. We've also ordered to go and food when ready when we arrived. Prices are reasonable and the food is tasty.
The orange chicken is the best I have ever had. Their pumpkin curry is awesome. Their lunch specials are fantastic. Normally about $9.
Fabulous - excellent food and friendly service
Best Thai food I have had in Arizona. Super fresh every single time. They take pride in the food they bring out, and they never disappoint.
Delicious, fast & friendly service! I had no idea and I shop next door at Albertsons all the time!
Amazing Thai food every time!! Definitely the best in town!! Thank you ☺️😋 Oh MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄
The food is all delicious, and you can choose your spice level. Get the coconut ice cream at the end. It's wonderfully light and tropical, and it cleanses your palate after your flavor explosion meal.
It was alright. I ordered the Orange chicken. A lot of the larger pieces the breading was under cook.
We love this place for work lunches. Call ahead for pick up. Always fresh and tasty Thai food.
Absolutely awesome place. Every time I go I order something new and everything has been excellent.
Very tasty and spicy food ! Love it service was great
The food was very good, and the people were nice.
I love this place! I am a frequent customer, who will continue to come back for more. From the friendly service to the delicious food, I just can’t say enough wonderful things. Try it for yourself!
Truly the best Thai food in town! The service is always friendly and efficient.
