I can't believe it took me this long to find this place! I haven't had Thai food this good outside of NYC. Incredibly rich and... flavorful. We've ordered in from them twice this week and now we're in here fun a late lunch. The food is 100% consistent and Ithink this may be my new food obsession in Mesa Read more
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 andwith smiles. Definitely willing to go back. ???????? Read more
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 shrimpstill had the tails on them. I know some restaurants leave them on, but I know several that don't. Also, there wasn't verymuch rice with the meal. The water was good, with no aftertaste, but served in a mason jar type glass. I think it's to givethe place atmosphere, but I used the straw provided because I didn't want the challenge of drinking from a mason jar. Theservice was good, the place was small but very clean. The table next to me had a couple that was watching a video on theirphone. The lady's laugh was more like a high pitched cackle, and extremely loud! So loud, after multiple outbursts I was justabout to move to another table, as far away as I could get because she was actually hurting my ears!. I don't blame therestaurant for a patron's actions, I blame the patron. Lucky for me, the video ended and they left, so I got to finish my mealin peace. I also had the fried banana with coconut ice cream. It's worth going to at least once, but IMHO they are a bitpricey for the amount of food you receive. I've been to better places, and to far worse places. Read more
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 couldhave upped it a bit personally. Tofu pad Thai was super good; med spicy was perfect. The noodles and flavor were excellent. Read more
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 benext time I visit. Read more
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 andwelcoming. The food was fresh, delicious and very well presented; in spite the fact we ordered 30 minutes before closing. Ourwaiter actually encouraged us to take our time. I would love to see them add organic produce in the future but I will be backand I definitely recommend. Read more
October: A month late in posting this newest review, yet I am happy to confirm Soda Bun remains a 5-star place to eat. Their... food presentation is still amazing, the food continually comes out with steam rolling off it, and the serving size remains to belarge. Everything is well worth the money. The only item that has changed from my previous visits is the amount of people thatwere in the restaurant. All previous visits we were the only two or three people dining in. This last visit (late October,Saturday, approximately 4:30), I was flabbergasted at the amount of diners -- when we left there had been a dozen other patrons.Maybe people are becoming less fearful of the whole Covid B.S. but whatever was happening, it was nice to see so many morepeople enjoying Soda Bun. There were still quite a few people coming in to pick up take out, too. Soda Bun is great place toenjoy Thai! May: Still five stars! I had a craving for Thai food yesterday and didn't feel like taking a chance on a newrestaurant. Soda Bun has been excellent on our previous visits and yesterday they did not disappoint. Oh my goodness, I fell inlove all over again. Each visit they have never had a large crowd. Heck, I think there have only ever been a couple othercustomers eating in - but clearly they have a pretty hefty take-out customer base. With this absolutely delicious food, I am notsurprised. They young gal who took our order was super nice, too. I think this was our fourth visit and never had we had a badexperience. Soda Bun is totally worth the drive from Laveen. The rice fritter was a new starter for us and boy was it good.Their edamame is always hot & wonderful, the Thai tea is absolutely delicious, and holy smokes their sticky rice & custard aremouth-watering good. If we had stayed any longer I swear I would have ordered some to go. The three of us all ordered differentmeals and every single one was so beautifully presented it was almost a shame to scarf them down. One frie Read more
