Ta Lew Thai Bistro 2

We popped in today after a short hike at VOA. Easy to order counter screen. Fresh. Delicious! Spice level was perfect and leftovers to boot!

It is a very cute restaurant inside the people were very nice the decor was fun and fresh! You don't deal with humans a lot throughout your dining experience so that can be a positive or a negative depending on how you like to dine but it doesn't bother me either way really! When I did speak with the workers they were super nice and helpful! For the food, I'll say based on the reviews I was underwhelmed and everyone else in my group was as well. The drunken noodles were the best dish by far! The pad Thai was super sweet and bland. The fried rice was next up and was fairly tasty but I like to order classic dishes to see how they do with a classic and I was just personally underwhelmed.

Ordered 2go last night for dinner 2/24. I had tried 2go once from their original location but i didn't like that their pad Thai was tomato based. This location is about 10 mins from my house. This was easy to order online & made in ~10mins. When picked up there were ~12 people running around the building from the boot camp that made parking a little difficult. I was the only customer. Food was ready, lady was really nice, but taste was just OK. Pineapple rice with No spice tasted like turmeric & think pineapple from a can & didn't include any meat for price. Thai iced tea was grainy & filled with max ice. Evil Jungle Princess No spic just OK, kinda blah with lots of liquid - great mushrooms tho. (*I prefer Phuket Thai, Chandler 10 mins from me & My fav is Mr Thai Bistro, Gilbert but 20+mins drive for me).

**This rating isn't for the food, it's for customer service by the front when picking up an already paid order. Unless you're using uber eats for delivery, ordering food on uber and coming in person to pick it up was a disaster and the worst experience I've ever had. Making this my third order of the week, now I'm sad because the lady in the front was so rude I don't ever want to come to this location! After showing the order name multiple times I was treated awful. I ordered three meals and this level of rudeness was unacceptable. It's not that serious, once you show your name and order info, just give the food to the customer. I can't imagine this happening to everyone but maybe because I am black she decided to go above and beyond to being racist? I was very patient with her and didn't need this experience.

woot woot for the second location WITH A DRIVE THRU WHHHHHHHAAAAAAT?!?!?! I absolutely love having this option especially for quick pick ups - I don't have to park? I don't have to get out of the car AND upclip the kids? AND I get delicious food at the end? win win for me :DBasically the only reliable thai place in the area and thankfully it's an amazing one. Food is always on point. If you dine in, you order at the front kinda like cafeteria style, then they bring your food to the table but everything else, you have to grab on your own. It's pretty convenient and esp with the water station and togo boxes for your leftovers being right there and you don't have to wait to flag anyone down.*online ordering system*accepts credit cards*plenty of parking spaces*drive-thru pick ups!trust me, get the thai tea ALWAYS :)

Ordered pick up from this Thai joint and I must say I thought it was quite pricey for the amount and quality of good. My favorite dish was their pineapple fried rice and it looks like they make their own chili paste or if they buy it then they get it from a good supplier because it's very tasty and has a good kick. The pad Thai and yellow curry were decent and the pad see ew was not very good. Dumplings were also very lackluster and they definitely didn't taste homemade. Overall, not very impressed with this Thai food and it sure costed a good chunk of money.

I was craving Thai food after my wife's massage appointment. I searched for a place nearby through Yelp and this place was highly rated. When we arrived, most of the staff was eating lunch at one large table along with small children. Only one other table had a couple dining there. One of the ladies came from the table to the front behind the counter and greeted us. She asked if we dined there before and we replied we hadn't! She handed us two menus and told us when we decided what we wanted to return to the counter and place our orders. There is also an overhead menu above the counter. I ordered the Pad kee mao with shrimp and my wife ordered Green curry with shrimp. My Pad Kee Mao came out unappealing in appearance. There was no color on the flat noodles, no hot wok singe marks, just pale bland looking noodles and there wasn't much of it. The noodles were so over salted I couldn't finish it. I did eat the shrimp however because it did not absorb a lot of the salt or whatever was used that made it salty. My wife's green curry was very watery and not the normal consistency of curry. Usually it's a little thicker than water. My wife asked me to try the curry. I did and it was just as salty. I almost spit it out. It was like salt water. It was so salty, I couldn't even taste the curry. I did make an observation. When we arrived and most of the staff were at the large table eating, there was a single guy in the kitchen cooking. I thought he was the main cook. Then when the staff finished eating lunch while we were eating our meal, an older Thai woman was cooking in the kitchen and he was gone. Was she the main cook and was she on her lunch break when we arrived? Because what we ate was not Thai food! Both dishes were probably the worst version of those dishes we ever had! Oh! We also ordered dessert. We had Mango and sweet sticky rice. It was different! Good, but different from what we're use to. Will we return? I don't know! This place has four and a half stars for a reason. Did we arrive at the wrong time? Was the guy who cooked our food a line cook or perhaps the dish washer? Whatever the reason is for our experience here, I hope it was an isolated incident and I did let the manager or owner know in a nice way about our food so she could relay it to whoever cooked our food. She thanked us! If we're in the area again and we happen to be hungry; who knows, maybe we'll give them another try!

Favorite place to eat. They substituted fried tofu for beef. Alway great. Staff is super friendly also

I ordered takeout & received updates via text which was nice ... the service was quick, warm & welcoming... the food was FANTASTIC!!! Tom Kha is one of my favorite soups & this was definitely one of the best i've had !!! the Massaman Curry & Cashew chicken were also both delicious! Everything tasted fresh, full of flavor & soul warming. Thank you, I will definitely be back regularly !

It was OK. Not great. Trying to find a good Thai restaurant in Queen Creek is proving to be a little difficult.
