Gem Under the Mountains — Authentic Thai Worth Finding! I’ve lived in Phoenix over 6 years and had driven right past Reign of Thai so many times without thinking twice. Don’t let the humble exterior fool you — tucked next to a car shop under the mountains on Cave Creek Road, this place is an absolute hidden gem of Thai cuisine. Walking in feels like stepping into a colorful, welcoming space, very clean and larger than it looks from the outside. The vibe is friendly and laid-back. The restaurant is take out only unless booking a private party. The menu is filled with authentic Thai classics — from Pad Thai and Green Curry to Panang Curry, Tom-Kha (Coconut Soup), and Beef Teriyaki, all prepared fresh to order with high-quality ingredients. You can order on Uber Eats My dish arrived piping hot and the Thai noodles literally melted in my mouth — the flavors were complex, balanced, and bursting with freshness. I loved that they had more unique options beyond the typical shrimp, beef, and chicken — even seafood choices like squid and 🐙 featured on their menu. Service was phenomenal — very friendly, attentive, and welcoming. When I visited, lots of locals were there in person and many others were ordering online for pickup or delivery, which seems to be a popular choice. Just note their limited hours: Tuesday through Sunday, 4:00–7:00/8:00 PM, and sometimes they close for holidays or personal reasons, so it’s best to call before you go. Reign Of Thai Only disappointment was the dessert menu wasn’t available the day I went (not sure if permanent). Still, this spot is a must-try if you love real Thai food! I would also recommend for those who have allergies to foods please check ingredients before ordering. My dish did come with nuts which was a pleasant surprise for me the addition of nuts to the dish gave it a burst of flavor. However for those with allergies, I would definitely check the ingredients because the ingredients they use are very authentic. So my allergy people please check before ordering because the ingredients and flavors they use are very unique and we don't want anyone having an allergic reaction. A must try for all they also have a lot of vegetarian dishes. The prices are a little bit on the pricey side the entree dish runs between 17.00 to 25.00. which is probably about average in today's market.

new owners and customer service reflects how horrible it is. we have been a customer for over ten years and always have enjoyed the food and service, but the last couple of orders have been horrible food and service. food is constantly cold and not served as requested. customer service is down right rude and dismissive when issues brought to their attention. there are many, better Thai restaurants in the area that appreciate their customers and have better food. avoid at all costs!
