Thai Rama is a restaurant specializing in authentic Thai cuisine. Originally started in 1997, Thai Rama has become a Phoenix staple for delicious Thai food at an affordable price. ** Last seating is 30 minutes before closing.
What I ordered :
Warm saki
Sapparo
Singha
Egg rolls
Pork yellow curry
They have low prices for drinks here most beer is 6 bucks ! Which is hard to find, They make some good and thiiiickkk egg rolls here ! Never had egg rolls where they actually peppered it and gave some spice to it as well great touch and they really pack it with ingredients by far surprised with the freshness as well you can actually taste how fresh the cabbage is in it, the curry is pretty good very flavorful! I think the potatoes could be softer and if they added more carrot and onions to it , it be perfect as it was mostly just the meat I choose and potatoes and they give you a lot of rice ! but overall great experience !
The perfect hole in the wall Thai restaurant! Bottom line: come here if you’re craving Thai food or want to try it for the first time. It’s a no frills kinda place and a 5/5 for it being what it is.
I ordered 4 different items and all of them packed so much flavor and punch and was everything I was looking for. If you are going to go, I’d HIGHLY RECOMMEND the below. All of it is so so good so anything you order should deliver. You will be asked for spice level (Mild, Medium, Hot) and I ordered all medium for mine and it was a true medium! Enough heat to taste but not burn your mouth.
- Tom Kha Gai - Coconut Soup
- Pad Thai
It looks a bit questionable on the outside and the inside is really quaint and that of an authentic restaurant. There’s plenty of seating at tables and booths. The service was really good in that you are asked for what you want to drink, then what you want to eat, and checking in towards the end of your meal if you want anything else. Easy, simple, straight to the point!
I've been trying all their different lunch special dishes the past week and the past couple of days their food has given me indigestion with a lot of bloating. I don't know if I trust their sanitation and food preservation practices. I'm sad because I used to love their food a few years ago. Something in their standards is not okay.
Everything I’ve had here is absolutely DELICIOUS! 🤤 My favorite is the Pineapple Chicken Fried Rice, Crab Puffs, and any of their curries. Went with a group of friends and the entire time we could not stop talking about how amazing everything tasted. Parking is a bit cramped when it’s busy but hands down, love this place.
15 years ago I was a regular at Thai rama. They had the best dishes made with red or yellow curry. Yesterday I went for a late lunch and was shocked at how the exterior of the building looked. The fountain by the front door was beyond words. The big store sign that drivers see, looked as if it were ready to fall down. I said to my friend, with it looking like this should we still eat here? We decided to chance it. The servers seemed bothered that we were there after the lunch rush, so, the service had not changed, it was the same, LOL. The food quality is the important thing though right? The food was absolutely the same and as delicious as ever! Shrimp and chicken yellow curry to die for! The BEST coconut ice cream on the planet! Walking out I saw the broken fountain and sign again, the building is in desperate need of paint. People need to know even though it looks really bad- the taste of the food is REALLY GOOD and worth it!
I hope they improve the curbside appeal to where it matches the delicious food.
My best friend and I visited here for the first time this past weekend. We were seated promptly and were able to order quickly. The food was hot, tasty, and came out within ten minutes! Our waitress was very attentive and made sure to explain items on the menu and answer any questions we had. The restroom was also clean, huge plus! We will definitely be back!
Good food and drinks, fast service.
Thai Rama is one of my wife and I’s favorite Thai spots in the valley! We absolute go-to is their Thai Fried Rice with chicken, gyoza, and the chicken Yellow Curry. Always grab a Thai Tea as well to go with your meal

Neighborhood Thai - excellent lemongrass soup. Med heat is very mild. Good selection of Asian beers. Staff always friendly - shout out Pawni - the lovely waitress that memorizes everyone's name!

This is our favorite Thai food in the valley, we travel over 44 minutes to eat at this restaurant. The dishes are freshly made to order and the quality is outstanding. Their service is excellent 👌. Many traditional Thai dishes and their tea is great!
Always so quick, wonderful customer service and the most delicious food! Been coming here for years, love it!
I want to recognize Thai Rama for excellent customer service. I was recently in Phoenix for a meeting where we cooked a Thai dinner for our team. We were in need of Kaffir Lime Leaf for a dish and I could not find it any where! As I drove by Thai Rama, I decided to stop in to see if they would have it to sell to me and to my amazement, they did! It truly saved the dinner.
Thank you to the lovely lady who helped me (I did not get her name).
Don't let the neighborhood or outside appearance fool you! The friendly staff serve up some incredibly delicious food at very reasonable prices! Lunch specials available as well!
The food was sooooo good, almost mouth drooling good.. I ordered Drunken Noodles & Red Curry, both of them with vegetables & tofu. Both the food items were very well prepared and absolutely delicious. I loved the red curry better than drunken noodles, but would order both the items again in the future.
they need English speaking employees. It’s hard to understand them.
Service horrible
I stopped at Thai Rama around noon on a Monday. I ordered the drunken noodles. To my surprise it came with a small bowl of soup which was very good. The drunken noodles took about 7-10 minutes to arrive. When ordering i had the option to make them either mild, medium , hot, or thai hot. I opted for the thai hot, and they were very hot.
The hostess and server were very friendly and attentive checking up on me frequently. I would definitely come again
Riquísima la comida 😋
Horrible service
Siempre mi hija pide una carne creo se llama garlic beef pero ésta vez d3jaba mucho q desear la calidad de la comida la carne muy dura y salada y ella se lo dijo a la mesera q estaba dura la carne.
Best Thai food and Phoenix and their service is amazing too!
This is truly the best Thai food in Phoenix!
We were a party of eight my grandson had just graduated from college. We had a very good time at your restaurant and we will be back
Les s.
Quiet and peaceful, with lovely service and delicious foods. A wide range of Thai cuisine with an authentic atmosphere.
Great food highly recommend
They let you choose your spice level.
Very nice
Thai Rama offers an authentic taste of Thailand in the heart of the desert. For heat enthusiasts, the spicy fried rice or curries deliver a fiery kick without overwhelming the palate. The house-made egg rolls are a must-try appetizer - crispy golden shells giving way to a savory filling of fresh vegetables, served with a tangy sweet chili sauce that complements the rolls perfectly. With its convenient location off Camelback and lunch/dinner menus that will satisfy anyone seeking authentic Thai flavors in Phoenix I 10/10 recommend.
Garlic chicken is always great. I also like the green bean chicken.
Wow is so much i can say about this place besides been fantastic,
This place has one of the best thai food i ever had ,delicious and delightful, annie was fantastic, and the cook a 72 year woman sure know what she is doing she cook like the gods .love thai rama.
The food is delicious! The yellow curry never disappoints. And the Thai Iced coffee is to DIE for. The owner is super hard working and the employees are super sweet and efficient. Will always be one of my favorite places. It can be a little hard to get their attention sometimes because they're so busy, but once you do, they're very fast to give you what you need.
Tried a few different places in the area , but some use low quality chicken or it’s overcooked , but here has nicely cooked chicken. The seasoning on the chicken satay is soo good. it’s always busy too so you know the food is fresh
My favorite place for authentic Thai food. I love the curry jungle dish and my Thai tea. Everyone is friendly and quick to bring order. The only thing I don't like about this place is when it's closed. I have been coming here for years.
Service is always great and quick, seating/lighting is comfortable, food is very tasty and you get a lot of it for a great price!
Radna is very delicious. Fried rice dishes are ok. Tastes better last year 2023. Great service. They provided some vegetable soil while we wear waiting for our meals.
The food are delicious I been going there for many years but just be aware that they will atomically takes out gratitude fee 18% from ur check even before you Tip them . I don’t mind tipping but I just don’t like having them atomically take out out on their own and still expect u to tip them at least 15% up.
Amazing good. Great people
Lady Cashier forced and rush us to checkout while we were finishing our drink after meal she didn’t allowed any tables to sit no longer than usual
That weird and uncomfortable
Food was ok
Young lady server was nice and great
BUT MIDDLE AGE CASHIER LADY WAS RUDE
We’re been enjoining this place for years.
And we haven’t been disappointed.
Clean place!
Amazing food!
Amazing service!
Today I will have Drunken Noodles. They are my absolute favorite. There is nothing on the menu that is not delicious. I always feel welcomed while I wait, enjoying soup until my meal is ready. I live far north and I am always so excited when my job brings me to this part of town and I can have a meal there.
First off good customer service, very kind workers! I came in to do a take out order and gave me a water while I waited for my order which I really appreciated. Really beautiful and peaceful in the establishment, the waiting booth was really comfy as well lol. But on to the food, 10/10, it really was a good experience overall. The chicken fried rice was beyond my expectations and I tried their sticky mango rice, very good. Please try their sticky mango rice. Thank you for the great service
we were refused seating when we arrived at 7:35 pm even though the restaurant hours are until 8 PM. The lady who approached us, would not give us an option to dine in and stated that we would only be able to do takeout at this time. I don’t think this would be regarded as good customer service so I would it give 0 starts if possible

The waitresses are very nice, and do a good job. They always treat us very well, they remember me and my family, and it's great food.
Best Thai food ever, so delicious, good price, great customers service and feels very good vibe in this place, it’s a hidden treasure!
Nice Thai meal they prepared. They give out nice hot soup prior what you ordered.
This is the 5th time I been here and the food always tastes amazing! The service is impeccable and they also surprised my wife with a gift for her birthday. They also have a calm and quiet ambiance .
We have eaten here several times and the food is always full of flavor at a reasonable price. I recommend the green curry.
The Best Drunken Noodle in The Valley!! Best atmosphere.. and best service ! When I want Thai food I come here ! Love it !! And always recommend to family and friends
They greet you with a big smile. Table Services were outstanding. The price was Right.
The food is great.
We love Thai Rama! The food is varied and delicious and the service is very friendly and great!
After 25 years patronizing this restaurant with all of their glitches in service and successful efforts, I am no longer willing to support this business. After a 20 minute effort to put in a phone order from my car and a parallel effort of my wife to call from home, neither of us received the courtesy of someone picking up the phone. I showed up in person to put in a to-go order and two different people that I talked to gave no courtesy to my effort to order and both stated "we are too busy...". There is at least 5 good Thai restaurants in a 2 mile radius that are happy to provide me with dinner that don't make me feel like an annoying person seeking to drop $50 plus a generous tip into their P&L for the day. A simple acknowledgement of my effort to order and their poor response would have kept me a customer. I realize things get busy, I can't support their lack of respect for a long-term customer. They are not unique in their menu. When the service fails they are easily replaceable and should be.
Only been here for take out and I LOVE their service—soon well done in to experience their great service fully. They always greet us with a smile when we walk in and with a well wish when we walk out. They never take too long and their food always hits the spot. Love it here.
THE BEST CRAB PUFFS ANYWHERE!! This food is the best. The red curry with chicken is a favorite. HOWEVER... If you can't take much heat, go for the mild.
Great service . And amazing food . Always tasting great and portions are good. Service is fast and friendly. A place to always come back to.
This will forever be the best Thai spot in Phx. Best service, food and vibe.
Food was great and environment was ok
We had a group of 11, they took care of us as we were family! Great service and decent food the atmosphere was relaxed
Best Thai restaurant in Phoenix. Absolutely delicious. Great staff.
best Thai food I have ever had the environment is great!!
Was not sure at first based on the outside aesthetics of the building but was not disappointed by the food!
Ordered to go kind of expensive but portions were tasty the beef cashew nut was good so was the won tons tom kha GA was delish and yes I'll be back yumm
Great food
Great lunch got greeted by a very light soup and the lunch menu was great
I really liked my dishes but, my only grievance would be that they automatically tipped themselves $10. Just from us being there and seated. It's not like we wouldn't have tipped but, it was more of a demand than a suggestion. The service wasn't terrible or great but, they still ask for a tip after.. yeah..
Awesome Thai fried rice and ice milk tea.
Calm and clean atmosphere. Kind servers. Delicious food. Panee was our server and she was so nice to us and our baby! We will be back. Thank you Panee and Thai Rama!!
This place is overpriced. I ordered green curry and then they charged me four dollars just to add broccoli. That is absurd
Besides that the food taste good, in the place is a cute / classic hole hole in the wall spot
Everything I’ve had here is absolutely DELICIOUS! 🤤 My favorite is the Pineapple Chicken Fried Rice, Crab Puffs, and any of their curries. Went with a group of friends and the entire time we could not stop talking about how amazing everything tasted. Parking is a bit cramped when it’s busy but hands down, love this place.
We stopped here for lunch on the way to Sedona from the airport. The food was excellent and the service was friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is what you would expect in a neighborhood Thai restaurant.
I've been going to this restaraunt since the late 1900's (1999 to be exact). It never dissapoints! It was the last place I ate before I shipped off to boot camp in MCRD San Diego, and the first place I went when I got back.
The food here deserves ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ +
They may have the best Thai in town, but their takeout service needs a lottle work with timing, organizing and executing. Don't expect it to be ready when you request. Pad (Thai) about 35-40 minutes onto your requested pickup time. And this on a Sunday night!
The perfect hole in the wall Thai restaurant! Bottom line: come here if you’re craving Thai food or want to try it for the first time. It’s a no frills kinda place and a 5/5 for it being what it is.

This place has the best lunch specials! Delicious and generous in their portions. The service makes you feel like you are visiting an extremely welcoming family member. Have been a regular here for the last 6 years. They never disappoint 🤩😃
Recomendado para visitar en pareja.
Tasty, spicy, complex green curry with chicken. Good service. Reasonable price.
Don't pay extra for the brown rice.
Convenient location on Camelback Rd in Phoenix. Very friendly & helpful crew members. Phone ordering available for pickup. Awesome dishes! We really enjoyed the Sweet & Sour shrimp & the Thai BBQ Pork.
I highly recommend visiting Thai Rama today!
Best Thai food Phoenix. Been coming from here for over 20 years.
Food was delicious number 25 with rice and angel wing
Got takeout - review only for food::
This place was so well reviewed I thought maybe this would be my go to take out Thai place but I was disappointed. Maybe it was an off night for them? Or previous reviewers haven't had excellent/good Thai food before? 🤷🏾 Got (what I thought were safe choices) chicken pad Thai and spicy chicken yellow curry but alas both were very bland. The search continues...
Great food and service 😃
This place never disappoints its a little hidden gem. Great service, amazing staff, and fabulous food full of great quality flavors that just leave you wanting to order everything on the menu! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu here. Everything is superb and the family style portions make it great for the whole family to enjoy.
Amazing food and service. We got the spicy garlic chicken, cashew chicken and won ton soup. Our good was delicious and the service was outstanding.
I’m so disappointed in this place. It WAS my favorite Thai restaurant in the valley (the PHX location) but twice now I have ordered food online for pickup and the order hadn’t even been started when I arrived to pick the food up. The second time this happened, the geriatric female employee at the front was extremely rude to my husband about the order not being received. She even attempted to argue with him about the order so he showed her the receipt, and only then did she have the cook start preparing the food.
Save your sanity and avoid this place because the customer service is really a hit or miss.
Love the food and great service
Love love love, mmmmm!!! A family tradition whenever we come up to Phoenix from Tucson. Every dish is tasty, zesty, BIG size shrimp (not skimpy), and has FLAVORS... Always made to order!
best thai in Phoenix that I've found
Great Thai food
Nos encanta esta lugar , la comida super rica y a buen precio las meseras ya nos conocen de lo frecuente que visitamos el lugar así que se merece mas de 5 estrellas 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 el thai tea mi favorito el postre de banana frita y helado de coco esta super rico todo esta rico en este lugar 🥰
THE BEST thai food restaurant in AZ!
Besides having the most delicious food ever, the service just puts the cherry on top. The staff is super friendly and really nice, making the experience overall the best!
I’ve been going since 2017 and recently moved close to tonopah so it’s further from me sadly, i wish they had a location closer to the west side, but either way it is definitely worth the drive! Definitely recommend the drunken noodles and spicy garlic chicken with a thai iced tea ❤️ it’s my obsession (the tea helps if you order the food spicy just saying). I’ve tried many other thai restaurants and it just doesn’t compare to Thai Rama’s food, your palate will thank you once you try their food!😊
Great food great staff! Would go back in a heartbeat!
Great customer service
I recently had Thai food for the 1st time and I don’t know why I didn’t try it eons ago! I stopped in at Thai Rama to try their Yellow Curry with Shrimp, my my my … it was awesome! I also HAD to have Thai Tea as well!
Great service!
Food is always amazing. Staff is always amazing. We travel 20 miles for THAI RAMA. 🥰
Best Thai food in Arizona!
I had pad Tai delish !!
This place is amazing! The food is hot, delicious and the atmosphere is warm and inviting! Our waitress was great and served us quickly. And you get ALOT of food for the money you spend. Well worth every cent. The absolute best Thai food in phoenix, AZ. (The picture is after we ate I forgot to take one before)
Walking into Thai Rama for my first time, I thought I was in a different world! It was peaceful and pleasant, the food was amazing and filled with flavors and goodness! Thank you!
It's by far one of my favorite Thai restaurants in Phoenix. Quality food. Always good portions. The spice scale is on point.
It is an older establishment, but not old enough to make it eclectic. Also, due to the placement of the lite-rail, kinda a pain to access.
Staff friendly and helpful, just not as attentive as I would have personally liked.
Nice customer service. Very happy people.
The best Thai restaurant in Phoenix
We go to this wonderful restaurant often. The food is sp amazing and the service is always excellent. The best Thai food you can get is here!
Amazing food, amazing service for many years. Decades really. One of my top 3 fav restaurants. I can't think of the other two right now so it may be #1.
Very quiet nice place to eat with your family, food is always hot and fresh and very tasty, the service is very good, the waitresses are very friendly and attentive always taking care of you, that's why we keep coming back to this place.
The food is soooo good - everyone is happy there......because the food is sooo good!!!!
Super glad my husband and I stopped to eat here. The service is amazing. They're super sweet and nice, and the place is clean. We came at sunset and the view was spectacular.
We had wonton soup, crab puffs, Pad thai, beef fried rice, and amazing coconut ice cream. Everything tasted great and was amazing. We will definitely be back.
Some of the dishes on their menu turned out great and about average. Like all Thai restaurants, no one is good on all the dishes. What is their specialty is the key.
Some of the best Thai food I've had is from here. The customer service is always over the top they make you feel like family. I order from here at least once a week
Went there the other day with my friend they even had live music performing love the statue at the doorway I think this was my first time eating Thai it was amazingly good I wish I could remember what we ordered
My best friend and I visited here for the first time this past weekend. We were seated promptly and were able to order quickly. The food was hot, tasty, and came out within ten minutes! Our waitress was very attentive and made sure to explain items on the menu and answer any questions we had. The restroom was also clean, huge plus! We will definitely be back!
The first time I ever had Thai
It was really good. The staff were really friendly and they even have musicians playing.
Staffs so rude. We forgot to put the tips and they came outside to ask for money. Sounds like you don’t pay them enough pay.
Garlic chicken #23 Thai hot. Fantastic as Usual.
They don't honor their posted hours of operation.
This place is it. Flavorful food, good portions. Great friendly servers, definitely will be back
Always great & must go everytime im in Phoenix!
This is the best Thai food in the valley if you want authentic flavors. I’ve tried almost all of the Thai restaurants and this one is by far superior. You will notice many Thai restaurants use lots of sugar and lack the complexity of flavor but Thai rama stills serves up house made sauces with galangal and kefir lime and other flavors that give a scrumptious kick to the flavor palate. I could eat this food daily!
The food is amazing here, especially the Massaman curry.
I hadn't been here since before COVID, service was a little terse, I got there about 45 min before closing and they didn't seem happy about it even though I was done eating and left at closing. There were at least two other tables seated when they turned up the lights fifteen min before closing. Food was good. Last time I was here it was decorated very colorful, almost gaudy but they have redecorated and now it is very drab. I will start going more often and give it a few more chances.
I brought my son and daughter-in-law there for my 66th birthday lunch. They loved it. I already did. My daughter-in-law is philippino and had thought Thai food was 'to spicy', but as you can choose how spicy you want your food she wants to come back. We taste tested each others dishes. Ha! The staff is always kind and helpful. We had a great time
My husband and I have tried just about every Thai restaurant in the Phoenix area and we get Tom Yum soup every time. This was by far the BEST Tom yum soup we’ve ever had.
We also had an amazing curry dish and the mango sticky rice. Everything from food to service was outstanding. We will be back to try more of their delicious food!!
A favorite of mine for over 25 years. Friendly, comfortable, Great food!
Very good Thai food. A nice cup of soup came with our lunch orders. Everything was really hot and delicious.
Consistently amazing food and service. So nice to have a restaurant you can count on. Nothing beats independent, family-owned passion and hard work. Have supported them with my business for many years and have never been dissapointed, not one bad dish. Friendliest service around.
