We were surprisingly UNderwhelmed by this restaurant based on the other's reviews. The beef in my dish was tough, they mixed up the heat and made my dish medium instead of mild and my boyfriend's came mild.
While it wasn't bad food, I certainly wouldn't recommend it.

These guys make a really good Pad Thai noodle dish vegetarian for you! The sauce is incredible & the servings are big! You have to try the Thai tea & Thai coffee....YUMMY!
I wanted it to be good. Really

My husband and I went there because I looked it up on City Search and saw that it had really good ratings. Honestly, it's not that good. First, when we got there, we weren't greeted right away. When we DID get seated, the hostess wasn't that friendly. It was somewhat busy. Definitely NOT romantic. It reminded me of a Denny's, only small and quiet. And the music was depressing.
The food: no. If I ever go back, I'll just have to try something else because the two dishes we tried, which should ALWAYS taste decent at a Thai restaurant, were not that great. I love pad thai with tofu and they BURNED THE TOFU! Wow. What a disappointment. Burnt tofu=burnt meal. You know, that charred flavor you should only have on BBQ. As for the Pad Si Euw or however you spell it, it was WAY too soft. They definitely put too much soy sauce or something. The meat wasn't that tender.
I probably won't go back. Gotta stick to the ol' faithful.
- Pros: . . .Large Beverages?
- Cons: Not as good as everyone says and the service is bad
Thai Rama is a scam!!!

I went to this restaurant on 12/31/07. I gave the waitress my credit card to pay for the meal. She took the card then came back to tell me their credit card machine was broken and did not print out the slips. They asked that we paid in cash so we paid cash plus tip. It turned out that they also charged my credit card. I called the restaurant, they promised to refund the charge. Obviously they lied as they never refund the money. I'm going to dispute with my credit card but I will never go back to this restaurant. I hate a hassle and disputing a charge is not something I like to do.
The food is ok but I cant stand the way these people do business. There must be someone who cant remember they actually paid in cash. The restaurant would double the profit by doing this.
- Cons: They charged my credit card eventhough I paid cash!!!
Great spicy meal!

We visited on a Friday evening. There is limited parking, but we got the last spot in the lot. We were seated right away. We ordered soup #18. Can't remember the name, but it was EXCELLENT. Also had garlic chicken and pad thai. We ordered them "medium" on the spicy scale and they were very spicy (which we like)! Both were very good dishes! The wait staff were all friendly. They messed up our order a bit (brought tea instead of coffee and forgot the side of peanut sauce), but they made everything right as soon as we told them, so we didn't mind. The restaurant is a bit loud, but well worth a visit. We will definitely go back!
- Pros: Food, food, food!
Best Paht See-Iw in Phoenix

This was a charming, little eatery that I would highly recommend to anyone that is looking for Thai, comfort food. The meal was impeccable from beginning to end. My party started off with the Poh 'Pia' Grohb which was a very tasty, vegetarian ensemble of spring rolls with sweet and sour sauce. Next, we indulged in the Gaeng Ped or Red Curry. It was a perfect combination of sweet and spicy. Finally, the Pah See-Iw or Noodles in soy sauce w/ tofu was splendid. It was full of fresh, steamed vegetables. Also, the service was fantastic and attentive. I will definitely be back!
- Pros: Quality of Food, Service
Phenomenal Lunctime Value; Good Food; Can Be A Wait; Service Is Okay

If you want value, go for lunch. For under $6 you get a big meal with tea, soup, thai roll. I recommend the #3 coconut milk yellow curry with chicken or #7 green beans with beef and curry. Medium is plenty spicy for most. Order mild if you don't like spice.
For dinner, pricing is noticeably higher. Phat Thai tastes bland to me. Their soups in a flame heated bowl with shrimp are excellent.
If you're looking for value, come for lunch. But dinner is good too. I agree that service is very matter of fact... I've often found it rude. But ignore that, and they serve you quickly and efficiently and the atmosphere and food and price are great.
- Pros: Lunch; Speed; Value
- Cons: Friendliness of Staff; Small Restaurant Can Fill Quickly

Love this place, so very authentic Asian food, huge portions, and so reasonably priced. The servings are large enough to split between two or you will have enough leftovers for next day lunch. The place itself is very nice and well maintained. The menu is pretty extensive and I have tried quite a few things over the years and have always been pleased with the taste of all.
PROS: Portion Size, Cost, Price
CONS:
This popular Thai restaurant offers lots of hot. You need it spicier? Just say so.

In Short
Come lunchtime, Thai Rama is perennially packed with regulars hooked on heat, and it never dumbs down seasonings for the presumably gringo palate. Be careful. Lips could swell and tongues may be put temporarily out of commission after digging into these Thai favorites, including satay, mee krob, thohd mahn, soups, noodles, stir-fries and curries of every color.

I swear this place has the best Pad Thai ever. The prices are also very decent compared to other thai places of its caliber. I ony payed 8 bucks for a huge plate of Pad Thai. The Asian Coconut soup was amazing as well. I love their Thai iced tea it is my favorite part. The decor is very cute too and it's a nice quiet atmosphere. Good for a first date.
PROS: excellent food
CONS: english isn't very good
