Excellent! I really hope word of mouth gets around, because this is a very cute, good quality restaurant worthy of a long and prosperous existence. The service was good, water was refilled promptly, and the owner was friendly. The decor is elegant and more modern than most Thai restaurants I've visited. The food is reasonably priced, with a good variety of vegetarian and meat dishes. I went with the Spicy Noodles served medium. They had just the right amount of heat. The sticky rice with mangoes was light and flavorful. I'm looking forward to stopping by for lunch sometime soon.

Concierge suggested this place. What a great suggestion! Went with my wife and another couple. We all ordered something different and all shared at the waiter's suggestion. Waiter, Peter, was a terrific waiter and gave us excellent service. All food is made fresh so it takes a few minutes but is worth the wait. We ordered the pad Thai, firecracker chicken, mango curry, pad prik. All four were great. We ordered them in a couple of heat levels just to see the difference. Two is nice and spicy three is pretty hot. We've been to some great Thai places in NJ & NY and this place is just as good. If you like Thai, don't miss this place

Takeda Thai is delish!!! I've been eating here for two years now and I can't get enough of their food! As a person of Thai decent, I have been to Thailand numerous times and the authentic food that is served at this restaurant really gives me that 'homey' feeling. Also, I can't say enough about how beautiful this restaurant is!! Although it is tucked away in an older/less-flashy part of Scottsdale, this cozy restaurant is decorated with classic Thai art which provides a wonderfully romantic and classy ambiance. Such a great date-place! :) Anyway, as far as food is concerned.. I haven't found a dish that I don't LOVE- the curry is on point (all flavors), firecracker chicken is to die for, pad-thai is a classic, and the thai basil and spicy noodles are delish!! Any of those paired with a Thai iced tea or Thai beer is a sure bet!! ALSO- If you're looking for an EXTRA SPECIAL TREAT- try the HOMEMADE coconut ice cream or banana spring rolls! DELISH DELISH!

Takeda Thai is the best Thai food I have found in Scottsdale. The restaurant has a fantastic ambiance and the owners are both very friendly and attentive. They have a great variety of items on the menu and the dishes are very reasonably priced. The website takedathai.com has a coupon for 10% off your entire meal. Go there, eat, and enjoy!

There were things in the Laad Nar noodles that I have never tasted before. And those things were delicious. I could have poured the gravy into a cup and drank it straight. And of course the ingredients themselves were all cooked to perfection, with a nice crunch still in the vegetables. The staff are excellent, and the chef and owner stopped over at our table multiple times to help us choose food and see how everything was, even during the dinner rush.

Excellent Thai food and great service. I had the Pad Thai. I had it 4 star out of 5 spicy. While the flavor was good, I was expecting spicier. I'll will go again and try it 5 star.

The pad thai, gyoza, and seasoned edamame are incredible! The gyoza are crisp, and have the perfect plum sauce, in addition the edamame has a fresh spicy taste.

Last night we enjoyed the wonderful food at Takeda Thai. This was our second visit and it was as good as the first. The chef is very nice and takes time to greet each customer and chat with them. We tried the charred edamame and it was delicious as was the lettuce wraps. I ordered the pad thai and it was perfect. The medium spice level was just right for me. My husband ordered the green curry with steak. He also enjoyed the heat of the medium spice and gobbled it all up. His mojito was a perfect compiment to his dish and had lots of fresh mint leaves. I love the friendly atmosphere and the beautiful decor of this place. We will definitely be back soon and hope to share this restaurant with friends.

Very romantic, cozy atmosphere. I had the red curry with chicken and there was plenty of chicken and the curry was phenomenal. My boyfriend ordered the whole tilapia and he had fun tearing through the perfectly cooked beast of a fish. The homemade coconut ice cream was a perfect finish. Nice quiet place to hide out and have some great food.

To start, the food was 5 stars. It was just several other things that would keep me from going back. Where do I start? First, the only wine choices, (3) they have are all $11.00 a glass. $11.00?! Even very expensive restaurants have choices in the $8.00 range. Some even less. It's a very simple concept that Costco started....sell them for less and just sell more. I'm sure the high dollar Scottsdale lease is very expensive but I would have had two 7.00 glasses....which makes 14.00. That's 4.00 more then 11.00. Very few people are going to have 2 glasses at that price....which for a couple is 44.00 worth of wine by the glass. Next....we were a party of 6, that's not a "large" party. When they brought out our checks and we sent them back with our payment....when they return with the CC slips, they had added the gratuity. Instead of adding it when they first brought the check out as everyone else does. It felt like a bait and switch. And 6 people, come on? They added 20 percent to the full total even on the tax. I would have tipped 15-18% naturally. Next..... Our friends had a superfluous charge for brown rice....they hadn't ordered a side of brown rice. They only ordered a side of white rice. The brown rice side that was about 1/2 of a cup of rice was 2.75. That was on top of an already 14.00 dish. Really? A dimes worth of rice for 2.75? Just bring another side of rice if your patron isn't satisfied with the 1/2 cup that came with the 14.00 meal. Just because. And when my friend dared to ask the charge to be removed.....we all got the feeling she...we....were being thought petty. I don't care if it's only one nickel over.....it's not YOUR nickel, it's the patrons. They actually debated with her about it and I think it took two tries to get it off the bill. She would have dropped it and paid it....no way. Next...I ordered a side of 7.00 crispy green beans. When he went to write it down he repeated something completely different then what I said. I caught it and asked. He had instead ordered me a 14.00 meal that has green beans. The two sounded nothing alike. I'm not sure how he confused that. In any case, I conceded. And later I was irritated I had. Next...I don't want to be told I'm having dessert. I want to be asked. "Save room for the coconut ice cream". How about "did anyone save room for dessert". When we replied that we were maybe going to have dessert at the Maverick coffee house next door we were told "that place is closed". And it wasn't. To be fair, normally it is closed at that time but it was open for a special event. But it was still an abrupt weird reply. We were a party of 6 and another table of 2 who were also connected with the special event at the Maverick were in the restaurant that night. Other than that there was another 6 or so people in there in the time frame that we were there. So...had the special event not have been going on....half the people there wouldn't have been there. The main problem I think is the price. Thai food should be reasonable. Usually is. Even high end like Wild Thaiger on Central has dishes mostly in the 9-12 dollar range. And 8.00 glasses of wine. And is way hipper design wise then this place is. Although it's nice in there. So my advice.......they need to adjust the prices, get better wine options price wise and keep making that wonderful food and they'll be packed out on a Friday night at 8:00. They won't need to upsell or charge for a extra side of rice or haggle over 2.75. People want the Trifecta.....fabulous food, prices and service. That's called Durants. It's very upscale but worth every penny.......they have a 6.00 glass of wine if I'm not mistaken. And I spent 91.00 tax and tip for 2 people to eat rice and sauce.....I could have gone to Durants. Durants lets you spilt a 28 oz. slab of meat and it comes with a extra set of sides for only 5.00 more....and they tell you that when you say your going to "split". That's why 60 years later they are still around and packed out. You can't walk in on a Friday or Saturday usually. We shall see how Takeda fares. And I disagree with Yelp...it's 3 $$$, not 2. Especially since its Thai. Another positive....the person who I think was the owner but wasn't waiting on us was very nice and welcoming.

I love bringing my 2 boys, ages 7 and 9 to dinner at Takedathai for mom's night off. The kids loved the fried tofu and pot sticker dumplings and side of broccoli. Healthy dinner for them and curry for me! I love take out at lunch for me and hubby: chicken spicy noodles and green curry plus yum Nua (beef salad). Thank you Moulay!

Ah yes, it was time to go home and that ever pending question "what's for dinner?" nagged at me. I had just passed one Thai restaurant on Shea Blvd and thought of turning around to go back, but then I spotted Takeda Thai through the parking lot. It was amongst some businesses which were not restaurants so at quick glance, I thought it might be a massage parlour or spa. Anyway, my stomach must have subconsciously known the deal, because I continued straight in that direction and upon entering rejoiced - it was in fact a restaurant. Two seconds later I was kindly greeted by a gentleman who led me to the bar to order take-out. He let me know that everything is made-to-order and any dish I wanted could be prepared vegetarian. Super cool! He also let me know the spice scale. All the curries sounded delicious and I finally opted for the eggplant curry. Good choice. My weakness for spring rolls got the better of me at the sight of the word "crispy" on the menu and I asked for those veggie as well. Excellent choice. They. Were. C R I S P Y. And fried in an oil that wasn't heavy. So were they gobbled up before I got home? Naturally. The eggplant was very delicious too. It's mild flavor had a hint of spiciness which was perfect. Mild should not mean "flat." Garlic and basil were prevalent as well. If I could change anything, I would ask for a larger serving.

My sister and I came here and LOVED IT. The owner came to our table and talked to us about his restaurant and you could see the passion he had for the food and the restaurant. The food was delicious, we got the spicy noodles and lettuce wraps, I got a level 3 spicy which was probably a little too much for me, a 2 would have been perfect. The Decor was very authentic and classy, I will definitely eat here next time I'm in Scottsdale!

I've been here several times and thought it was time to finally write a review. I must say this is my favorite Thai restaurant in Scottsdale. For curry, I think the Mango Curry is my favorite. Mix of spicy curry and sweetness of mango mixed together to create yummy dish. I ordered extra rice and finished the curry sauce. It was just spicy enough, my Thai tea helped me sooth spiciness in my mouth. I tried two different types of fried rice. They both were good, but I think I liked Korobe fried rice. It doesn't look like standard fried rice you see in any Chinese restaurant, but it taste like authentic fried rice I ate somewhere in Asia. There are so many other dishes I haven't tried yet. Can't wait to come back to try them all soon.

I attended this establishment with my friends around dinner time for take out. We walked into the place and were greeted by a skittish latino waiter who spoke very little english. The waiter escorted to the bar in the back were we confronted by an ambiance that was more middle eastern then Thai. Due to the waiters poor English, we recieved our check from the chef in the back. The pad Thai we recieved was in incredibly small portions and not even made with pad Thai noodles. I will not be attending this restaurant ever again.

Go for the food!! Seriously this is hands down the best Thai food in all of Scottsdale/Phoenix!! And, YES, I have eaten at nearly every Thai place in the valley... I have had exceptional service even when the place is packed and extra busy. In fact, I recently went with a friend visiting AZ with a 2-year old child. The owner went out of his way to make sure the child was happy and occupied with food to keep her happy. As for the spice issue I just read the review-- not everyone can handle spice and I am often asking for additional chills and peppers to enhance my food, I just know to ask for it THAI HOT now. For those who do not tolerate any spice, I have seen the kitchen send out very mild and wonderfully flavored food for my friends who have sensitive taste buds. Raves and accolades each time! Let's just get into the food-- The quality of the ingredients used are always fresh. I have ordered many dishes on the menu and have made substations that have all be delivered with a smile. The soups are divine, the papaya salad is almost as good as when I was on the beach on Thailand-- BTW, I spent three months in Thailand and have a minor obsession with Thai food... At first glance the seafood dishes look pricey, but once you try any of the dishes you will taste the quality that you are paying for! The standards-- Green Curry, Pad Thai, and others are spot on delish! Uncle Som's Pad Ped makes my mouth water for days after... The spicy edamame rocks!! The home made coconut ice cream-- YUMM! The bar is well stocked, although the wine list is pretty Meh... All the great Thai beers and a few others too. Here is where you will find a kind, honest, hard working owner who makes the very best and most authentic Thai food in the valley. If you want the best Thai you must try this place. You will be greatly impressed with the quality of food, preparation, and the taste of each dish you order. If you really enjoy Thai food and want a high quality food experience this is your spot! Since you will be back many times after you try, I look forward to meeting you at this amazing Thai place.

Food is great love his wok grilled edema me. The forbidden rice is always a pleasure and his sauces are amazing. 3 stars because it's seriously overpriced for the portions you get. I spend 15 bucks on lunch and leave hungry. Very nice dining room and atmosphere. Opens for lunch for 3 hours or so then closes till dinner. Closed at weird times some days as well. Knocked off a star for that too. It is definitely worth trying and you be the judge on the price to portions.

This place is not only the worst thai place ever but the most expensive plate that I have ever paid for. Fist of all the chief was not a person from Thailand The place was far from ethnic thai. The plate was $15 for a very small proportion of food

Amazing food!! We go to Scottsdale for July 4th every year and this is our "must visit restaurant" each time. Outstanding service, Nicholas could not be nicer and his recommendations are the best!! Love the salmon curry! Excellent bar as well. Moulay is the chef and owner and he makes a point to stop by each table to chat and check how you are enjoying everything. If you love great Thai food this is the place!

Absolutely excellent fresh and flavorful food!!!!! Their Cousin of Pho is unique and amazingly delicious! Spice level of entrees was the perfect amount of hot....not too overpowering but with a spicy kick all the same. Can't wait return for a meal.

After searching and searching for a good Thai restaurant, I have finally found one. Takeda Thai is incredible. Starting with the grilled edamame, followed by the Tom Kha Gai (absolutely delicious, could not stop filling my bowl), the green papaya salad, yellow curry with chicken, pad thai that was incredible.....and that decadent scoop of homemade coconut ice cream. It was Heaven..and Moulay and Sarah are beyond charming and attentive. Can't wait to go back again, and again, and again.

Choose your spice 0-4. 3=hot, 4=Thai hot. I think any Thai place you go you might as well put a Thai qualifier in front of all spice levels bc it's always hotter than asked for. My 0 spice curry was thus Thai 0 spice, as it definitely still had a kick. Not too bad, but enough to be bothersome when you have inflammation and are real sensitive to spice and emphasize NO SPICE. Anyway, enough of that rant, it looks like there are some quality items on this menu but it's very expensive. My yellow curry was $14 for a medium sized portion and was just okay. At other places in the area I have gotten the same quality curry in twice the portion size for cheaper. If you really want to spend, they have some delicious-sounding specialty dishes that run around $25+ (e.g. grilled curried salmon or roasted duck dishes). Anyway, that's not me at my age and budget. Overall, my impression was a Thai restaurant with a nice atmosphere that wants to present a fine dining experience but the food is just slightly above average. Of course I've only had one dish, so make your own judgment on the food. I would say that this place would be great for a date night if you are willing to spend some money. Very nice atmosphere.

This is my favorite restaurant in the Valley. The food is fresh. It is a small business locally run by the nicest owners, Moulay and Sarah. They make you feel very welcome. It has a romantic ambiance with dark lighting and slow music. The first time we went in, Sarah sat down with us to explain the various dishes and her family history ties behind their quaint restaurant. You definitely get a dining experience here that you can not get at a chain restaurant. We always order the Tom Kha soup (it is my favorite dish there), the pumpkin curry (my second favorite), and the pad Thai. We always get the coconut ice cream, which Moulay churns and is super fresh every time. Moulay is a truly artistic chef and has created a wonderful environment to enjoy a fresh, healthy, excellent meal.

Had dinner here on a Friday night. The exterior looks mysterious and exotic. When we walked in, we saw a sign to wait to be seated but no one immediately came to seat us.. Eventually a gentleman, who I assume is the owner, sitting with some patrons came up and sat us. Besides him there was only one waiter so the service was quite slow. We got the lettuce wraps with larb ga to start. The larb was tasty but the lettuce was small chunks of romaine that was mostly just the core. For mains we got the red curry and panang curry which tasted really similar. I thought they were both mediocre. The consistency was on the runny side. The portions are fairly large so that was an upside.

So, so, SO good! And the owner is amazing - so warm, friendly, AND the head chef. I had a great mojito and chicken/veggie spring rolls appetizer. It is kind of hidden in the middle/towards the back of a strip mall area at Scottsdale and Shea -- find it; IT IS WORTH IT. The restaurant is small, intimate, dark, and would be a great date spot (however, I was allllll byyy myyyseeeeeellllff). It is a super cute place that I am planning on returning to with my mom in the next week or two. The prices are comparable for North Scottsdale.

Nicole B.

Service is terrable. We went on a Friday night, there was 1 server, 1 bartender, 1 busboy for the whole restaurant.... But, at the end we realized our server was actually the head chef and the owner! Totally changed our view. Do not order a mojito, it's not impressive, I sent mine back. The table next to me was not impressed either. Food on the other hand is delishious. We dinned on the following: Fire roasted Edamame Chicken Satay Yellow chicken curry Pumpkin chicken curry Coconut ice cream Everything was amazing, truly impressive. I highly recommend a visit to this little gem of a place. I would give it 4 Sayra based on the service but, knowing how hard everyone was working I felt bad and have to give them a 5.

We stopped by for an early dinner. The place was dark and eerie. The waitress was not friendly at all. They may have good food, but the atmosphere and the poor service was a turn off.

I went with my date. The waiter was very nice and friendly and was very accommodating when my date asked about the drink menu. I ordered the Pad Thai and I will only comment on my food. As stated, I ordered the Pad Thai with a spice level of 4 (their highest on the menu). My food arrived and the presentation was average, but I'm here for food. I take a bite and I am immediately disappointed. The Pad Thai was sickening sweet! and the "4" spice level I asked for was non-existent. I am not the type to waste food but I left about 80% of my food on my plate and had no desire to take the leftovers home. How bad was my food, well, let's just say I left the restaurant hungry and ate as soon as I returned home. I would not go there again for their overpriced sweet meal. This would be a 1 star if not for the good wait service.

This place is my favorite Thai restaurant in the Valley. Let me give you a run down on my visit. As I am walking in I immediately spot the herb garden in the front. We get seated and our waitress takes our drink order. Comes back, drops our drinks off after about 5 minutes. Leaves and comes back a few minutes later to take our appetizer order. We order a Spicy Edamame. Super, super tasty and it is certainly spicy. Thank goodness we were properly taken care of with a glass pitcher of water for us to refill when we needed. After we finished our appetizer our waitress takes our dinner order. I order the spicy noodles, with vegetables instead of chicken (level 3 spicy). Do you see the trend here? Each visit by our waitress was individually catered to a specific need. She didn't take our order while dropping off the appetizer; instead we enjoyed each order. This visit was certainly about the experience--and I loved it because we were celebrating a birthday. The food was homemade--everything, even the noodles. The spices were grown in her garden and the dessert was absolutely fab; homemade coconut ice cream and friend bananas for the table to share. The guest I was with was celebrating a birthday so the owner brought him a drink which was a combination of a mojito and a margarita (Basil-rita), and yes, it, too, was made with fresh basil from her garden. It was delightful. So this place gets 5 very bright stars. The owners came up to our table, talked to us and gave us a mini version of the story behind the place and the waitress was full of life and energy. The place wasn't noisy and it was the atmosphere was not what I expected from the outside. I will return very soon!

My friend and I decided to try Takeda Thai after her reading glowing reviews of this ethnic establishment. So on a weekday lunch we decided to give it a try. At around noon only one other table was occupied. We both decided to order the green curry with chicken as that's one of our favorite Thai dishes. When the dishes were brought out, we were dumbfounded at the small proportions on the plate/bowl..(see accompanying picture- using a spoon for sauce depth reference. The vegetables in the picture look sufficient enough, but that's because I spread the mound of them out in the bowl.) We decided not to bring this issue up but when the check arrived my friend mentioned to the waiter how SMALL the portion was for the price - $7.99 and explained that at Thai House - located very near to this establishment - portions were much more generous - take-out being in a quart container for $9.99. The waiter (who was actually the owner, as he told us) said: "It's a lunch" -although that was not denoted on the menu - which was kind of confusing in itself. Then he said: "You want MORE??? I'm the owner, I can give you all you want." We agreed to that. When the entrÃ©e came out, there was only one entree instead of the expected two - and two plates were put down - his expectation that we would SHARE the one entree!! The portion was just as small. When my friend examined the check, he CHARGED for the additional serving! In addition, we both had Thai tea that ratcheted up the bill another $8. I've usually paid around $2.50 at other Thai restaurants for Thai tea. Needless to say, we won't be going back there - ever! $42. (including tip - don't ask me WHY she left a tip) was way too pricey for an afternoon lunch. I might add that 3 small bowls of soup were ordered for a child that was with us - those at only 65 cents each. One dessert touted as "homemade" - coconut ice cream was $5.95. You can see a picture of that if you type Takeda Thai into Yelp's search bar. Looks like the serving is one scoop :( Post Script....I thought I could add a pic to this review but turns out I can't

Some of the best Thai food I've had both in and out of Thailand!! The Tom Kah Gai is out of this world. The exec chef was amazingly helpful and awesome with the kids.

I recently moved to the area and was looking for a great Thai restaurant. I am a huge fan of thai food and this place was spectacular!! I will definetely be going back. The service was amazing a long with the atmosphere. I took my boyfriend who is not the biggest fan of thai food but he loved this place! They have a little bit of everything for everyone. I highly recommend ordering the tom kah gah. I love that they serve forbidden rice. Great stuff!!!!

This review is for lunch only. The sevice and food quality is just fine. I ordered the yellow curry chicken lunch special and it was very flavorful. I ordered it spicy 4 out of 5 and it was pretty tame. Heat seekers order the 5. The portions were disappointing. Hot and sour soup served in a tea cup, really? My entree contained maybe 4 small wafer thin pieces of chicken. It came with a reasonable amount of rice, no suprise there. I'm not looking for a gut busting portion by any means but tea cup sized

A really charming place. I can't believe it's been here for two years! The owner was so nice, and went as far as visiting each table and had great conversations with everyone in my party to ensure that our dining experience was as great as we had hoped. Our food was great! I loved the flavors here, and the dishes were all complex and true to their authentic roots. I agree with the other reviews though, that this place needs more servers. We were going out on a Saturday so our party was patient and more than happy to wait. Had this been an intimate dinner date, I'd hope the pace would be quicker. Most of that can be attributed to the fact that the place is short staffed. Hopefully, people will visit this place and change that. :)

Service issues. Especially with the assistant/bus boy/food runner guy, who seemed new and didn't speak English. The supposedly spicy Uncle dish was ordered Thai Hot but served Mild. Bartender had to bring out some hotter chilis, which were good but changed the flavor. Small portions. Pricey. Great wok-edamame. Awful satay. Other things were flavorful. Nice atmosphere.

Fabulous local experience. Elegant atmosphere, impeccable, owner delivered service. It was clear this is a place that thrives on regular local customers who return for the warmth and elegance of the owners. I am a Thai food foodie from the Bay area - everything was lovely. Couldn't have enjoyed my solo dining experience on a business trip weekend anymore. Highly recommend.

Normally, if we walk out of a restaurant feeling hungry ,still, I would give it one star. But the food here is good, actually, a lot better than the other ones I have been to in PHX area. We don't expect to take leftovers home, but need to be able to wait 4-5 hours before we need to look for food again. When we walked out Takeda that day, my husband said, "we got to find something else." I had two restaurants myself in the past. One thing I learned is; if you want your customers to return, you have to at least make sure they are not leaving your restaurant hungry!

This is a great little Thai restaurant! I have to travel to Scottsdale a few times a month and I'm glad I found Takeda Thai.

I highly recommend it!

Excellent food. Great service. Owned by a couple that truly loves their customers and cares about what's on the plate. Music is good, home made ice cream (coconut) is a great finish. Spicy noodles with Thai basil was awesome. I also had the green curry which was delicious. Definitely going back.

My husband and I visited after reading the great reviews here. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed. The pot stickers were average, I ordered the seafood dish with mussels and shrimp and it had a horrible lake fish taste to it, I only had a couple bites. My vodka drink was tasty, but overall the food was overpriced and I won't go back. The owner was also our waiter and very nice, we just did not enjoy the food.

Angelica V.

For Moulay and Sarah especially: Takeda Thai is a charming Thai cuisine restaurant, tucked away from the main road in Scottsdale. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting, although, it is a smaller space the intimate setting is quite enjoyable. The food was delicious, it was flavorful and full of bold spices! The best part of our experience at Takeda Thai was our interactions with Moulay and Sarah. They were both very charming, sweet and genuinely interested in getting to know their customers and making them feel very welcomed. I would suggest Takeda to anyone looking for a low-key dining spot with great food and terrific service!
(4)
Daniel S.

Takeda Thai has some amazing flavors! However, the atmosphere and service was not as great as it needed to be. I recommend the Phat Thai, it is truly an amazing dish that deserves to be on a cover of a magazine, it was delicious and you can choose your spice level. As for the curry dishes they were a bit salty but still good. Prices are reasonable but the restaurant is quite small and awkward. Also, the service was a bit awkward! Other than that it is worth a try!

Seriously We walked in and were the only ones in the place except for two people at the bar. We were seated by some one in Chef's attire. No one bothered with us for 15 min-we ultimately timed it The individual who seated us was looking periodically right at us A young lady flitted back and forth-bar patron vs Employee At any rate we ultimately walked out Admittedly my wife and myself are in our sixties. The idiot who runs this place should know that means we have money and dine out frequently Prediction: gone within six months

The food was OK, not great. Lettuce wraps difficult to eat with tiny pieces of romaine. The waitress talked me out of my fried rice dish to one she recommended and was not like any fried rice I've ever had and not something I would order again. Terrible wine list, one red, one white. The service was excellent , but the food and portions probably won't prompt a quick return. This was much better the last time we were there. The owner/chef was very charming and I hope they are successful. ,

Mike B.

First I will say, this is a nice atmosphere and the food was fine. But for the price, the portion size, the $2 upcharge for brown rice (on top of the price for the lunch) and the very slow service at lunch, this is what brings me to the lower rating. I've been to other Thai places here in the Valley, that the food has a little more flavor, the portions are better, the service faster, and no additional charges for a different kind of rice. Give it a try, but don't expect a lot.

Alexander V.

I've been here several times, and have yet to have an experience that I would classify as unpleasant. First, I would have to say that all the comments about the service being slow are 100% accurate. I don't know what it is about the atmosphere here, but everything just goes really slowly. My water glass has never been left empty, but there have been several moments where I wondered where our server was. I've never noticed the longer food prep times that others have mentioned, but I usually expect a slightly longer wait for Thai food in general. The staff is always friendly and sociable. Pricing is definitely an issue here, but its due to the small portions. I've actually not gone here on more than one occasion due to the price point/lack of value on your dollar spent. Menu items I've tried: Beef Salad (excellent, my favorite dish here) Edamame (get their special version, not the plain version) Beef Jerky (a little salty for my taste, more of a seared beef than jerky) Red Curry (just what you would expect, nothing great but not bad) Green Curry (just what you would expect, nothing great but not bad) Panang Curry (just what you would expect, nothing great but not bad) Tom Yum Soup (very good, get it with shrimp) Tom Kha Gai Soup (their best soup, very good with chicken or tofu) Drunken Noodles (excellent, good texture, good spice, great flavor) Pad Thai (love their version, not too sweet, good choice of noodles) Papaya Salad (not very good, I"m more inclined to the Isaan version that's spicier, this version is too sweet for me) Mahi Mahi with Black Mussels (very good, I was pleasantly surprised by this dish, it was an excellent recommendation by the server) I would go back more often, but the portion sizes are small and the location is far away from me. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants good Thai food with a great intimate atmosphere. Bring a little patience with you and you'll be in for an excellent evening.

This was our first visit and I will go back again! I ordered Red Curry Chicken and it was very tasty. My husband ordered Thai Basil Chicken and he was also happy with his dish. Our waiter was prompt with service, polite and very helpful with suggestions. I ordered my dish on the mild side and it was plenty spicy for me. I look forward to eating here again. If you never had Thai food and wanted to try it, I would suggest this place for a few reasons. First, it was very clean. Second, staff will answer all your questions and help you with your selection. Third, food is served in a timely manner, hot and fresh.

If perchance you're one of the many Scottsdale residents who believe Malee's is the only place for good Thai, think again. You have another choice, it's Takeda. Takeda's dishes, the result of generational family recipes prepared by the owner rival anything on Malee's menu and, I don't have to drive half a city away for it. Last night I tried Uncle Som's something or other. It was splendid. I went with two and a half on the heat scale. I don't recommend this level of spice unless you're a seasoned pepper aficionado, one who routinely eats raw habaneros. My wife typically orders the same dish each visit, the green curry. Spicy and wonderfully delightful. But the coup de gras is their 'forbidden' rice. We were informed how this rice got it's name from the King of Thailand who apparently forbade anyone to eat it except for him. What an asshole, right? Well it's a damned good thing someone smuggled the shit out of Thailand and got it into Scottsdale, where now, I can eat it at will. Purple in color, short in grain, and when cooked to al-dente perfection, has a unique flavor all unto itself, never having tasted anything like it before. The best way to describe it is this: If I was King (Scottsdale), I'd command Ken Singh of Singh Farms to grow this stuff for me, and only me. Nobody would ever get to try it. Well, maybe my wife if she was nice to me for a change and not alla-time smarting-off. I'd let Ken Singh keep some for his trouble, but not very much. And that's it... no-one else. Well, maybe Takeda. Yeah, probably Takeda, since they already know how to cook it and all. But that's it. No-one else. The rest of you would be shit out of luck. Why I'd even post up security guards to make sure the kitchen help doesn't try weaseling off with their pockets loaded. And all of you? Forget it. Nobody gets to try my forbidden rice. Nobody. Why, I wouldn't even let you SEE it. Not without paying a cover charge or something. But sadly, I'm not the King of Scottsdale. Shit. Go to Takeda. Eat the forbidden rice and know, you're eating something that only a few hundred years ago in Thailand would have probably gotten your head chopped-off or something.

Typically, a Thai restaurant is in a run-down center between the karate studio & the tattoo parlor. Not the case here! The place is elegant - from the front entrance to the beautiful restrooms. And the food is terrific! Moulay is there to guide you and he is absolutely charming. And the menu is completely different from other Thai places. The items on the menu come from Moulay's wife's family and are both interesting and delicious.

Been there twice now... Pro's - soup that comes with the lunch special is really tasty - the two dish's I've had we're good but a little dry (leaving as a pro just because the taste and quality is good) - nice cozy atmosphere Con's - potential for slow service Let me explain the one con I made. The two times I have been there there appears to be only one server for the whole restaurant (at least at lunch). He did great, but I did wait a smidge though; that's my issue since I and others probably are conditioned for blazing fast service. So be patient, the food and the fella doing the serving are good.

Overpriced. The pad Thai noodles were mushy, brown rice was very bland and dry. The 3 season chicken was deep fried and seemed to be thrown in with pineapples and green peppers were sparse. Portions small for amount charged. Best dish was the glass noodle salad, which did not have enough lettuce. Server asked how food was, we told him not good and he thought we were joking. Gave him input, but they did not seem to care. Save your money and go elsewhere.

I've been fortunate to enjoy great Thai cooking in Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles and London. This place totally rates way up there. The food was fresh, classic and prepared to the exact level of slickness I requested. I'm psyched about the location, which is close to our new home in Scottsdale. Easy parking. Classy decor. Heck yeah, I'm going to make this place a regular haunt. Oh, and one more thing: I ordered my food on a Sunday at closing time. No problem. They kept the kitchen open for me and gave me fantastic service.

It doesn't have the obligatory framed picture of the Thai royal family on the wall but I'm wiling to let it slide. This menu offers a fresh take on the solid staples that we love. I love the Pad Thai here and not just because it is endorsed by Howard Seftel.

Good addition to the restaurant scene in Scottsdale; however, this restaurant is somewhat hard to find since it is set back from Scottsdale Road. The service was good, the atmosphere was nice and the food was quite tasty albeit quite spicy. Our server warned us, but I wasn't prepared for how spicy it would really be - be warned!

Pamela G.

I love when I am in Scottsdale on business so I can stop in the is place for lunch or early dinner! Ambiance is very nice and cozy. The food is made fresh and actually taste like it! Great place for a date too! I would only say that it can be a little expensive, but it is right in line with the cost of dinning in that area! Worth it for me!

Rachel S.

Delicious food, extraordinary service, pristine/nice/casual environment. I LOVE this place...the food, the owners, the staff, etc. A+++ The only criticism is that the portions are somewhat small, especially the amount of protein/meat. I think the shrimp should be a larger size too. I'd eat there any day though...can't get enough of the place! I've only had dinner there, but I'd love to do lunch...your treat?!

Thinking to spend the evening in a restaurant for a long talk to catch up with your old friends, this will be your place. The restaurant is located at the intersection of scottsdale & shea .... when you drove by, it is very easy to spot as this is probably the only restaurant / shop open in the plaza. Inside out, the ambience of the restaurant is great if you can overlook the shopping center is kind of run-down. It doesn't look like your typical thai restaurant. It has low light and very chic deco, quite a cute place I must say in term of ambience. In term of food, the quality is a OK ... nothing to wow about. Ordered basil beef and the uncle som's seafood ... both are good traditional thai food. It's good but nothing out of the ordinary, both the cut of meat and seafood are not great ... I can get the same quality of dishes at another Thai restaurant right around the corner for 50% off their price. This is not a place for the value of food, rather, the price you pay is more for the ambience. And I must agree with my fellow yelpers that the service is SLOW ... yes, I do undersand that everything is made to order ... but honestly, so do any other thai restaurant. Thai food is not something you can pre-cook anyway. And in term of slow, it's not only in the kitchen, also the front end service. Our server was slow , not in term of time to place order and checking ... but he was slow to understand ... or he was plain ignoring what was requested. I asked for the pepper tray THREE times .... still no pepper tray when I paid the bill. And he got the bill wrong and I kindly pointed that out to him, and he brought back the exact same bill :-\ ... not the kind of service I would expect in this type of restaurant. Overall, good place to spend the evening to have long conversation and have decent food with good atmosphere if you are willing to pay for the ambience

went tonight with a call in order, Spring rolls, pot stickers and chicken pad thai. .met the very nice owner and the food was exceptional!

They use fresh ingredients every day, and you can taste the difference between this and other Thai restaurants. The quality is great and although it is a couple bucks more than what you would normally spend, it is worth it. The atmosphere and interior is much nicer than you would expect at a Thai restaurant as well. If you dine-in, their presentation is surprisingly well done. I really like their Panang Curry here, best I've tried... ever. Their Pad Thai is nothing special, though... I think ours had like 2 total pieces of shrimp. Pretty solid overall.

I've had about every five star yelp rated Thai food in Orange and LA county, California, and this place is blows them all away. I only yelp when something is so compelling, that it warrants me to log in and write. I made a one day trip to Scottsdale to stop by a jewelry store. My wife and I decided to try out this place because it was in the same complex. We were blown away. I had to personally shake the chef's hand for preparing food that was simply unrivaled.

Amber M.

Having visited this place several times in the past year, I have been meaning to Yelp and finally got around to it. Takeda Thai's Tom Kha Gai soup is the best I have had. I enjoyed it so much the first time that I came in the next night and ordered another bowl. It is the first thing I order, sometimes even before I decide on my drink. I love that it is locally and independently owned. I also think Pete (our usual server/bartender) does an awesome job. The Pad Thai is not my most favorite-maybe because I like mine with tons of sauce,green onions, lime, and cilantro and Takeda Thai's is more restrained. I think the Green Curry is fresh, light, and perfectly seasoned. I also love the Pad See Yew. I wish they would offer Moroccan Tea ALL the time- if Moulay had this available daily, I would be there daily. It was a life changing tea experience. I have to settle for the Thai Iced Tea, which is good, but not nearly as delicious. Overall, I love supporting my neighborhood and avoiding the chain restaurants and am always satisfied here.

Lola S.

A hidden jem! Quiet, nice atmosphere with very attentive service. Pad Thai was delicious and the thai basil with shrimp with fresh veggies and a flavorful broth that I wanted to drink! We finished off the meal with coconut and chocolate chunck ice cream! I will be back!

I've been doing well by visiting Yelp reviewed places so that is how I found Takeda Thai. A little difficult to find as it is set back quite a ways from the SE corner of Shea & Scottsdale. I entered for lunch and two white guys were working the tables. Nice interior, food was tasty and fast, but seriously small portions. Then again the lunch special only costs $7.95 which gets you a main and a soup. I had the spicey noodles (Phad kee mow) with chicken at 3 stars (out of 4 possible). It was tasty and I enjoyed it, seemed slightly reserved on heat but they probably didn't want to offend anyone and I still enjoyed it very much. Where the rip is on the drinks as they charged $2.95 for a soft drink. Add 20% for tip and it pushed it to over $14. That's just not good value and it hit me wrong.

Takeda Thai is very good at interior decorating, but not actually preparing well made Thai food. If you really know authentic Thai food you will not be happy here. Those that don't know better may be OK with the food here. The Thai Beef Salad was very disappointing. Very salty, overly seasoned, and not tasty. The beef itself was hard and chewy. This can be such a wonderful dish when prepared correctly. The Tom Yum chicken soup I ordered 2/4 stars on the spice level, was incredibly spicy- focusing on hot spice rather than balanced flavor. We walked out with a $35 bill and still very hungry, as we barely ate 1/4 of our feed before just giving up and leaving. Truly an expensive and greatly disappointing dining experience.

Came back for a second time and had the spring rolls, eggplant zucchini and panang (sp?) curry w/ brown rice. Definitely a 5-star experience! Everything was delicious, service was fast and SO friendly. Lovin Takeda!

Rick B.

Clearly the people who gave Takeda one or two stars must be hired by the competition. I travel to Thailand twice a year and have been longing for quality Thai food locally in the valley. I am happy to say I found it. The food was exceptional, delicious and the restaurant was cozy and clean. I have added Takeda to my list of top ten favorites in the valley. The staff was well trained, polite and courteous and the owner, Sara, actually came to our table to have a chat. Impressive, a business owner who actually cares about her customers. If you are not a fan of spicy food, don't be turned off, Thai food does not have to be all spicy, simply tell the waiter how you like it and order accordingly. My favorite dessert when i season, Mangoes and Sticky Rice. Takeda serves it and it was excellent. I also recommend the Thai ice tea, its actually better than some of the Thai ice teas iv'e had in Thailand. Only one comment and a suggestion, they might want to consider a different lettuce for their lettuce wraps, hard to wrap with long pieces of lettuce, iceberg might have been easier, otherwise the filling was excellent and I'm coming back.

Rosalyn W.

Don't be fooled by a pretty face. Every review I've read about Takeda Thai raves about the fancy facade and upscale interior of this small strip mall restaurant. I think belief is suspended at the door, as most reviewers go on to praise the food. Phoenix Magazine even rated it one of the 23 best new restaurants in its October issue. That actually is my reason for writing this entry - to give a dissenting view. For lunch today, we ordered pad thai ($7.95 from the lunch menu, $13.95 at dinner), garlic mini pork ribs ($10.95) and angel wings ($11.95) from the appetizer section. Our very nice waitress brought us two bowls of soup instead of the one we were entitled to. It was a mild chicken soup with a few vegetables and some tofu floating in it. OK, certainly not notable. Then the rest of the dishes came out. I was truly shocked by the plate of riblets. There were 6 tiny riblets on a bed of wilted lettuce. Remember, these cost $10.95!!! They had been fried to death and had no garlic taste. I looked closely at the lettuce and noticed a few bits of overly browned garlic sprinkled on it. These clearly had never touched the ribs. This was downright insulting. The portion size of the angel wings was somewhat better. Angel wings are large chicken wings which have been boned and stuffed with vegetables, minced chicken and glass noodles, then fried and sliced. Like the riblets, these had been overcooked and were totally dried out. The insipid "sweet and sour chili dip" tasted only of sugar, and dunking the slices of wing in it did not revive them. Somehow the "chef" even managed to turn out dry pad thai with a horrible fishy back taste. When our waitress came over and asked which was our favorite thing, the only answer I could give was "the service". Our cost, even with a 10% discount coupon, came to $40. I guess I could give the restaurant and its reviewers the benefit of the doubt and say that perhaps since it was lunch time a talented chef was not on duty. However, if that's the case, and no one better than the person who was in the kitchen could be found, then lunch should not be served The only review I read that got it even partly right was from AZ Central. It said "the kitchen assumes you don't want to play with fire, so everything here is mild enough to feed a newborn." I hope you won't think I'm a grouch, but I did want to warn you.

Every visit---amazing. I always look forward to my next visit. Consistency is excellent and it's on my Top 5 list of restaurants I visit regularly now. The Tom Kha Gai is still my absolute favorite, as is the Chicken Panang Curry. Delicious---and the service is always tops!

Karis K.

A co-worker and I were in from out of town and decided to try out this place based on some of the reviews we read on Yelp. I'll have to say that I wasn't that impressed. First off, let me say that the service was very good. Our waiter always kept our drink glasses full and was very attentive. Now on to the food... We decided to start off with Lettuce Wraps. They were very good...although a little spicier than I would have expected for a "2" out of "5" spice level. I ordered the grilled shrimp with the thai peanut sauce. It took a while for the food to come out and when it did the food was lukewarm. The shrimp tasted like it had been pre-cooked and then tossed on the grill to heat it up a bit. It was very dry. The veggies were steamed but cool and the Thai peanut sauce was also on the cool side. The brown rice was pretty dry and a little tough to choke down. Definitely not worth the $17.95 for the dish. My friend got the Thai Basil with chicken - I tried a couple of bites and wasn't that impressed. I was very suprised at the small portion sizes - I would have exprected more for the price we paid. Unfortunately, I can't give this place another chance since I don't live in Scottsdale but even if I did live there I can't say that I would go back anytime soon.

Food was great! Panang curry, papaya salad and spicy noodles (pad kee mow) were all great! Entree prices (fish) were super high so we didn't order those, but would I imagine they would be good. They didn't give us enough rice for the curry, but gave us extra rice at no extra cost when we asked. Hope this good place is still here next time I am back in Scottsdale!

Rachel W.

Went with some friends last night after reading the rave reviews about it in the Phoenix Magazine. The decor is super cute from the outside and the inside. Our server was very nice and extremely helpful. The presentation of the food was really nice but the food was no better than other Thai food I have had. We started with the pot stickers. They were small but with six per the order, they were tasty. We ordered the green curry, yellow curry, Tom khai Gha soup, and the Pad See Ew noodles for dinner. All were good. I am not a huge spice person but I tasted no heat at level 2 and thought level 3 was too hot. But, it may just be me. We had fun and will most likely go back if we get a craving for Thai.

So the first thing that strikes you when you walk in is that this is a beautiful restaurant. You can't help but be seduced. We were greeted warmly at the door, seated immediately and given water and menus promptly. Each of the staff came through and introduced themselves, our server Rebecca tells us this is a family operation and apparently so because her mother and step-father (guessing here but probably got enough info to make this accurate) eventually come through, introduce themselves, offer to help with menu selections and we all feel welcome and well attended. Food was very solid...rib appetizers, awesome. Green papaya salad was entirely tasty, but not spicy. Pad Thai and Thai Basil were not my choices but I certainly wasn't complaining either. Food was well prepared, pacing was perfect, rice was perfect. If I had one complaint, it's simply the prices which just seem to be more than I would have to spend elsewhere in a good Thai restaurant (though I'm not going to name any names for comparison). Price setting is a marketing decision that they have made and perhaps given their location, decor, quality of food, many will think their pricing is reasonable but I don't. Food, staff, experience all say 5 stars, pricing says no and that's my opinion.

Karen E.

We've been to Takeda Thai the last two weekends for dinner - couldn't ask for a more perfect dining experience BOTH times. Service was excellent, peartini's were "to die for", and every dish - from appetizers to dessert -was an absolute delight. We recommend the muscle appetizer and ANY curry ( especially the jungle curry), and Pad Thai. The Jasmine tea we had with dessert was fantastic. We are from the San Francisco Bay Area, and were so happy to find such amazing asian cuisine so far from home. You don't need a day job Moulay .... this is your true calling. Karen and James

Jason M.

Let me just add to the list of good reviews here...I've been to this place twice now and both times the experience has been great. The staff, 5 stars...ambiance gets 4.5 stars...and the food a solid 4. The food is tasty and worth coming back for. I think the dinner menu is a tad bit high compared to what I'm used to paying back in San Diego for the same quality. While the price is higher than what I'm used to, I think they are spot on for the area, so keep that in mind when reading my criticism on the matter. The lunch menu has some great specials on it though, so I would highly suggest checking that out if on a budget. Anyone on the search for a good Pad Thai should give this place a shot. I've tried several places since getting into Scottsdale and this is the best as of yet. I'll be making this place a regular destination.

Ed E.

I want to first say my girlfriend and I went to this restaurant because I know the owner Moulay. I also read the other Yelp comments beforehand so I was prepared. We both loved it. Food was excellent (I had the pad Thai and it was probably the best pad Thai I've ever had), the surroundings were great and the staff was very attentive. This would be a great place for a date.

Gina C.

The food and the service was the absolute best. If you are looking for a nice place for an intimate dinner with friends or family this is the place to go. I was very impressed with the delicious quality of the food. Perfectly sized portions so you can still enjoy dessert. I had the fried bananas and Ice cream. This dessert has such an amazing flavor that absolutely nobody should miss out on. I had the lettuce wraps for an appetizer which was deliciously flavored and for the main course I had the Spicy Noodle dish with pork when I took the first bite all I could think was WOW! A good way to describe this restaurant in three words is love, care and quality. You are missing out if you don't give this place a whirl. You will not be disappointed.

Frank E.

So I'm a retired chile researcher among other things. Their heat scale goes from 1-5. They said some crazy man asked for 45. Not to be outdone I went 60. Incredible! Soups, lettuce rolls (Laarb), spicy noodles, homemade coconut ice cream etc and every dish we've had is authentic, tasty and served by the friendliest people imaginable (Sarah). Don't just go there, run there. It's a beautiful place too.

New restaraunt in Scottsdale ... tucked back off Scottsdale Road just south of Shea on the East side fo the road. A little hard to find ... WELL worth the effort. Moulay and his wife have worked to change what was previously an old golf shop into a stylish, modern place. Comfortable and easy to relax here. The food was GREAT. Very fresh, unique flavor combinations and all selections well done, nicely presented and right sized portions. Anyone liking great Thai food will LOVE this place. When I asked for 8 out of 10 heat, I got exactly what I expected. Moulay was in the restaraunt along with his wife and they talked freely with me about their concept in opening the restaraunt and what came through loud and clear was their commitment to making dishes fresh when they are ordered. The concept is executed wonederfully I would highly recommend Takeda Thai ... great price, excellent value and a meal you will enjoy and return for often.

Sal K.

This restaurant is pretty...but not dazzling as some other reviewers have indicated. When we came here on a Saturday night, I was surprised to see that other patrons had clearly put on their best sparkley outfits just to dine here. This is in a strip mall, people. Perhaps I'm spoiled by the many upscale Asian restaurants in Minneapolis where you can eat, drink, dance, mingle and lounge in your best outfit all night long. On to the food... First of all, why doesn't Takeda Thai have fresh spring rolls? This was my first disappointment. I settled for the lettuce wraps for my appetizer instead - which they happily veganized for me - making it with with tofu rather than chicken. The flavors and textures were really blah though. I wouldn't recommend that appetizer to anyone. I shared my main entree with my boyfriend, not realizing how teeny-tiny the serving would be. We had the Thai Basil with tofu. The flavors were amazing. Although,sadly, the entire dish was made up of about 6 pieces of tofu and 6 thin slices of red pepper. I would've been a lot more impressed with this dish if there were more vegetables involved. When the dish was set in front of us, I actually felt misled by the menu's description. I also think the up-charge for brown rice here is a little ridiculous...but at least they offer it. Our server was spectacular. He knew we were in from out of town and did his best to impress us. At the end of our meal, he asked us how we enjoyed ourselves, and I didn't have the heart to tell him that Yelp's phrase was ringing in my head..."meh, I've experienced better".

This is now our favorite Thai place in the valley, and even though we live on the other side of town, we have been there several times. The owners are very friendly and the atmosphere is elegant without being snobby. Tom Ka Gai soup is the best. I'm not a Thai food expert, but I'd say this place is one of the best you'll find. Highly recommended!

The food is very good but the portions are small and they charge you for rice. Even the white rice which is a bit ridiculous. Prices are definitely on the high side and should include rice.

Had to jump in for beauty supplies next door w me mum so the outside of this place really caught my eye! We decided to stop for a bite. It was a late lunch maybe 4 tables were occupied the place felt a tad small inside so we opted to have the patio all to ourselves. Waiter was nice and helpful. I ordered the Pad Thai w shrimp and my mom did the red curry. The shrimp were a nice plump size they were cooked perfectly, I wish there would have been more shrimp on the plate but ce est lavie. The veggies were nice and fresh I thought it was very flavorful compared to other places I've tried Thai food. Not too many places have even left an impression on me the food is usually pretty bland. I tried my moms red curry and it was delicous. The Thai Tea was awesome I wish I had one right now. It was good I will return!

The food here is delicious, fresh, with high quality ingredients. They do not skimp out here. I always order the pot stickers. the wrapper is very nice and tenderly steamed. The dumpling on the inside lacks a little bit of flavor, but to me, that's okay, because the dipping sauce that comes with it is so good and well balanced with acidity and spicy chilies. I LOVE LOVE LOVE their Red Curry with chicken. I like it pretty spicy, but if you don't they can make it any way you want it. They also give you extra chili sauce on the side that you can add. The jasmine rice here is perfectly cooked and fragrant. If you drink here your bill can add up pretty quick. It isn't inexpensive, but for the quality it is worth it. The restaurant is in a strip mall and you would never know it's there otherwise. When you walk in through the curtains, it is a quaint space with asian decor. The staff is stellar and very helpful with the menu if you have questions about anything.

Ray R.

I have been here a few times. The pad thai is good here, and I would recommend the food. The restaurant is decorated nicely and has good curb appeal. The service has always been very slow. The wait staff isn't quick to refill water or do anything really, and the food takes 30-45 minutes to come out (and it wasn't busy). This isn't a good place to go if you have a limited amount of time.

Austin S.

I want to give this place 4 stars, but overall the food just wasn't 4 star caliber. Started off with the crab fritter things and the tempura shrimp. Neither were that good...the crab fritters were more or less just a really garlic-y creamy filled deep fried pocket and the the batter of the tempura shrimp was pretty oily and thick. For the main courses I tried the pad thai, chicken panang, and the pepper garlic tofu. The pad thai was typical but it was served with skinny noodles similar to spaghetti...personally I prefer the wider, almost a smaller fettuccine type noodle with pad thai. The pepper garlic was pretty tasty and the veggies on that dish were the best part. The most memorable part was the chicken panang. Served with rice...it was rich and coconutty and really tasty. Actually it could have been a little spicier, but it was definitely the best thing I had that night. The service was great and the restaurant had a great atmosphere. The more I think about it, the main courses were a little bit above average taste wise, but I think the problem for me was that it was the most expensive Thai place I have been to. You weren't really getting that much more for the higher price point. However, I most likely will be back.

We've been here a few times and have never been disappointed by the food. I love the Eggplant and zucchini in black bean sauce with chicken. It is flat out delicious. The pad thai isn't my favorite though. Ordered with a "5" heat factor it was more sweet than hot but my companion didn't seem to mind (although he did agree that my dish was better). We overheard another patron complain about her food being too hot. This prompted the owner to come around to each table and inquire if anyone else felt their fare was overly spiced. We happily disagreed and said if anything we thought it wasn't hot enough! I liked that the owner checked it out before going back to the complainer and letting her know (politely) that she was the only one in the place that was unhappy. THe only complaint I had was the wait. Someone must have called in sick because there was only one server for the whole place! The bartender was helping out but it all took way too long. I like the place, so I will be back and hope more staff is on when i go.

Travis K.

The inside looked much better than the outside. It has a nice quaint setup, but they need some work on atmosphere. AC was a bit cold and the lighting was very dim. The food was fine, but the wait is very long. They told us everything was made from scratch, but I think that is code for "expect a long wait." Price is high and I left still hungry. My vote, look elsewhere for Thai food.

Holly P.

Never walked out on a restaurant before. We waited 45 min and still no food. When they did bring something out, it was wrong. The food was over priced (by the look of the food on the other tables). Ended up going to Thai house around the corner and was super pleased.

Topher S.

There were things in the Laad Nar noodles that I have never tasted before. And those things were delicious. I could have poured the gravy into a cup and drank it straight. And of course the ingredients themselves were all cooked to perfection, with a nice crunch still in the vegetables. The staff are excellent, and the chef and owner stopped over at our table multiple times to help us choose food and see how everything was, even during the dinner rush.

Excellent Thai food and great service. I had the Pad Thai. I had it 4 star out of 5 spicy. While the flavor was good, I was expecting spicier. I'll will go again and try it 5 star.

The pad thai, gyoza, and seasoned edamame are incredible! The gyoza are crisp, and have the perfect plum sauce, in addition the edamame has a fresh spicy taste.

Last night we enjoyed the wonderful food at Takeda Thai. This was our second visit and it was as good as the first. The chef is very nice and takes time to greet each customer and chat with them. We tried the charred edamame and it was delicious as was the lettuce wraps. I ordered the pad thai and it was perfect. The medium spice level was just right for me. My husband ordered the green curry with steak. He also enjoyed the heat of the medium spice and gobbled it all up. His mojito was a perfect compiment to his dish and had lots of fresh mint leaves. I love the friendly atmosphere and the beautiful decor of this place. We will definitely be back soon and hope to share this restaurant with friends.

Very romantic, cozy atmosphere. I had the red curry with chicken and there was plenty of chicken and the curry was phenomenal. My boyfriend ordered the whole tilapia and he had fun tearing through the perfectly cooked beast of a fish. The homemade coconut ice cream was a perfect finish. Nice quiet place to hide out and have some great food.

To start, the food was 5 stars. It was just several other things that would keep me from going back. Where do I start? First, the only wine choices, (3) they have are all $11.00 a glass. $11.00?! Even very expensive restaurants have choices in the $8.00 range. Some even less. It's a very simple concept that Costco started....sell them for less and just sell more. I'm sure the high dollar Scottsdale lease is very expensive but I would have had two 7.00 glasses....which makes 14.00. That's 4.00 more then 11.00. Very few people are going to have 2 glasses at that price....which for a couple is 44.00 worth of wine by the glass. Next....we were a party of 6, that's not a "large" party. When they brought out our checks and we sent them back with our payment....when they return with the CC slips, they had added the gratuity. Instead of adding it when they first brought the check out as everyone else does. It felt like a bait and switch. And 6 people, come on? They added 20 percent to the full total even on the tax. I would have tipped 15-18% naturally. Next..... Our friends had a superfluous charge for brown rice....they hadn't ordered a side of brown rice. They only ordered a side of white rice. The brown rice side that was about 1/2 of a cup of rice was 2.75. That was on top of an already 14.00 dish. Really? A dimes worth of rice for 2.75? Just bring another side of rice if your patron isn't satisfied with the 1/2 cup that came with the 14.00 meal. Just because. And when my friend dared to ask the charge to be removed.....we all got the feeling she...we....were being thought petty. I don't care if it's only one nickel over.....it's not YOUR nickel, it's the patrons. They actually debated with her about it and I think it took two tries to get it off the bill. She would have dropped it and paid it....no way. Next...I ordered a side of 7.00 crispy green beans. When he went to write it down he repeated something completely different then what I said. I caught it and asked. He had instead ordered me a 14.00 meal that has green beans. The two sounded nothing alike. I'm not sure how he confused that. In any case, I conceded. And later I was irritated I had. Next...I don't want to be told I'm having dessert. I want to be asked. "Save room for the coconut ice cream". How about "did anyone save room for dessert". When we replied that we were maybe going to have dessert at the Maverick coffee house next door we were told "that place is closed". And it wasn't. To be fair, normally it is closed at that time but it was open for a special event. But it was still an abrupt weird reply. We were a party of 6 and another table of 2 who were also connected with the special event at the Maverick were in the restaurant that night. Other than that there was another 6 or so people in there in the time frame that we were there. So...had the special event not have been going on....half the people there wouldn't have been there. The main problem I think is the price. Thai food should be reasonable. Usually is. Even high end like Wild Thaiger on Central has dishes mostly in the 9-12 dollar range. And 8.00 glasses of wine. And is way hipper design wise then this place is. Although it's nice in there. So my advice.......they need to adjust the prices, get better wine options price wise and keep making that wonderful food and they'll be packed out on a Friday night at 8:00. They won't need to upsell or charge for a extra side of rice or haggle over 2.75. People want the Trifecta.....fabulous food, prices and service. That's called Durants. It's very upscale but worth every penny.......they have a 6.00 glass of wine if I'm not mistaken. And I spent 91.00 tax and tip for 2 people to eat rice and sauce.....I could have gone to Durants. Durants lets you spilt a 28 oz. slab of meat and it comes with a extra set of sides for only 5.00 more....and they tell you that when you say your going to "split". That's why 60 years later they are still around and packed out. You can't walk in on a Friday or Saturday usually. We shall see how Takeda fares. And I disagree with Yelp...it's 3 $$$, not 2. Especially since its Thai. Another positive....the person who I think was the owner but wasn't waiting on us was very nice and welcoming.

I love bringing my 2 boys, ages 7 and 9 to dinner at Takedathai for mom's night off. The kids loved the fried tofu and pot sticker dumplings and side of broccoli. Healthy dinner for them and curry for me! I love take out at lunch for me and hubby: chicken spicy noodles and green curry plus yum Nua (beef salad). Thank you Moulay!

Ah yes, it was time to go home and that ever pending question "what's for dinner?" nagged at me. I had just passed one Thai restaurant on Shea Blvd and thought of turning around to go back, but then I spotted Takeda Thai through the parking lot. It was amongst some businesses which were not restaurants so at quick glance, I thought it might be a massage parlour or spa. Anyway, my stomach must have subconsciously known the deal, because I continued straight in that direction and upon entering rejoiced - it was in fact a restaurant. Two seconds later I was kindly greeted by a gentleman who led me to the bar to order take-out. He let me know that everything is made-to-order and any dish I wanted could be prepared vegetarian. Super cool! He also let me know the spice scale. All the curries sounded delicious and I finally opted for the eggplant curry. Good choice. My weakness for spring rolls got the better of me at the sight of the word "crispy" on the menu and I asked for those veggie as well. Excellent choice. They. Were. C R I S P Y. And fried in an oil that wasn't heavy. So were they gobbled up before I got home? Naturally. The eggplant was very delicious too. It's mild flavor had a hint of spiciness which was perfect. Mild should not mean "flat." Garlic and basil were prevalent as well. If I could change anything, I would ask for a larger serving.

My sister and I came here and LOVED IT. The owner came to our table and talked to us about his restaurant and you could see the passion he had for the food and the restaurant. The food was delicious, we got the spicy noodles and lettuce wraps, I got a level 3 spicy which was probably a little too much for me, a 2 would have been perfect. The Decor was very authentic and classy, I will definitely eat here next time I'm in Scottsdale!

I've been here several times and thought it was time to finally write a review. I must say this is my favorite Thai restaurant in Scottsdale. For curry, I think the Mango Curry is my favorite. Mix of spicy curry and sweetness of mango mixed together to create yummy dish. I ordered extra rice and finished the curry sauce. It was just spicy enough, my Thai tea helped me sooth spiciness in my mouth. I tried two different types of fried rice. They both were good, but I think I liked Korobe fried rice. It doesn't look like standard fried rice you see in any Chinese restaurant, but it taste like authentic fried rice I ate somewhere in Asia. There are so many other dishes I haven't tried yet. Can't wait to come back to try them all soon.

I attended this establishment with my friends around dinner time for take out. We walked into the place and were greeted by a skittish latino waiter who spoke very little english. The waiter escorted to the bar in the back were we confronted by an ambiance that was more middle eastern then Thai. Due to the waiters poor English, we recieved our check from the chef in the back. The pad Thai we recieved was in incredibly small portions and not even made with pad Thai noodles. I will not be attending this restaurant ever again.

Go for the food!! Seriously this is hands down the best Thai food in all of Scottsdale/Phoenix!! And, YES, I have eaten at nearly every Thai place in the valley... I have had exceptional service even when the place is packed and extra busy. In fact, I recently went with a friend visiting AZ with a 2-year old child. The owner went out of his way to make sure the child was happy and occupied with food to keep her happy. As for the spice issue I just read the review-- not everyone can handle spice and I am often asking for additional chills and peppers to enhance my food, I just know to ask for it THAI HOT now. For those who do not tolerate any spice, I have seen the kitchen send out very mild and wonderfully flavored food for my friends who have sensitive taste buds. Raves and accolades each time! Let's just get into the food-- The quality of the ingredients used are always fresh. I have ordered many dishes on the menu and have made substations that have all be delivered with a smile. The soups are divine, the papaya salad is almost as good as when I was on the beach on Thailand-- BTW, I spent three months in Thailand and have a minor obsession with Thai food... At first glance the seafood dishes look pricey, but once you try any of the dishes you will taste the quality that you are paying for! The standards-- Green Curry, Pad Thai, and others are spot on delish! Uncle Som's Pad Ped makes my mouth water for days after... The spicy edamame rocks!! The home made coconut ice cream-- YUMM! The bar is well stocked, although the wine list is pretty Meh... All the great Thai beers and a few others too. Here is where you will find a kind, honest, hard working owner who makes the very best and most authentic Thai food in the valley. If you want the best Thai you must try this place. You will be greatly impressed with the quality of food, preparation, and the taste of each dish you order. If you really enjoy Thai food and want a high quality food experience this is your spot! Since you will be back many times after you try, I look forward to meeting you at this amazing Thai place.

Food is great love his wok grilled edema me. The forbidden rice is always a pleasure and his sauces are amazing. 3 stars because it's seriously overpriced for the portions you get. I spend 15 bucks on lunch and leave hungry. Very nice dining room and atmosphere. Opens for lunch for 3 hours or so then closes till dinner. Closed at weird times some days as well. Knocked off a star for that too. It is definitely worth trying and you be the judge on the price to portions.

This place is not only the worst thai place ever but the most expensive plate that I have ever paid for. Fist of all the chief was not a person from Thailand The place was far from ethnic thai. The plate was $15 for a very small proportion of food

Amazing food!! We go to Scottsdale for July 4th every year and this is our "must visit restaurant" each time. Outstanding service, Nicholas could not be nicer and his recommendations are the best!! Love the salmon curry! Excellent bar as well. Moulay is the chef and owner and he makes a point to stop by each table to chat and check how you are enjoying everything. If you love great Thai food this is the place!

Absolutely excellent fresh and flavorful food!!!!! Their Cousin of Pho is unique and amazingly delicious! Spice level of entrees was the perfect amount of hot....not too overpowering but with a spicy kick all the same. Can't wait return for a meal.

After searching and searching for a good Thai restaurant, I have finally found one. Takeda Thai is incredible. Starting with the grilled edamame, followed by the Tom Kha Gai (absolutely delicious, could not stop filling my bowl), the green papaya salad, yellow curry with chicken, pad thai that was incredible.....and that decadent scoop of homemade coconut ice cream. It was Heaven..and Moulay and Sarah are beyond charming and attentive. Can't wait to go back again, and again, and again.

Choose your spice 0-4. 3=hot, 4=Thai hot. I think any Thai place you go you might as well put a Thai qualifier in front of all spice levels bc it's always hotter than asked for. My 0 spice curry was thus Thai 0 spice, as it definitely still had a kick. Not too bad, but enough to be bothersome when you have inflammation and are real sensitive to spice and emphasize NO SPICE. Anyway, enough of that rant, it looks like there are some quality items on this menu but it's very expensive. My yellow curry was $14 for a medium sized portion and was just okay. At other places in the area I have gotten the same quality curry in twice the portion size for cheaper. If you really want to spend, they have some delicious-sounding specialty dishes that run around $25+ (e.g. grilled curried salmon or roasted duck dishes). Anyway, that's not me at my age and budget. Overall, my impression was a Thai restaurant with a nice atmosphere that wants to present a fine dining experience but the food is just slightly above average. Of course I've only had one dish, so make your own judgment on the food. I would say that this place would be great for a date night if you are willing to spend some money. Very nice atmosphere.

We stopped by for an early dinner. The place was dark and eerie. The waitress was not friendly at all. They may have good food, but the atmosphere and the poor service was a turn off.

This is my favorite restaurant in the Valley. The food is fresh. It is a small business locally run by the nicest owners, Moulay and Sarah. They make you feel very welcome. It has a romantic ambiance with dark lighting and slow music. The first time we went in, Sarah sat down with us to explain the various dishes and her family history ties behind their quaint restaurant. You definitely get a dining experience here that you can not get at a chain restaurant. We always order the Tom Kha soup (it is my favorite dish there), the pumpkin curry (my second favorite), and the pad Thai. We always get the coconut ice cream, which Moulay churns and is super fresh every time. Moulay is a truly artistic chef and has created a wonderful environment to enjoy a fresh, healthy, excellent meal.

Had dinner here on a Friday night. The exterior looks mysterious and exotic. When we walked in, we saw a sign to wait to be seated but no one immediately came to seat us.. Eventually a gentleman, who I assume is the owner, sitting with some patrons came up and sat us. Besides him there was only one waiter so the service was quite slow. We got the lettuce wraps with larb ga to start. The larb was tasty but the lettuce was small chunks of romaine that was mostly just the core. For mains we got the red curry and panang curry which tasted really similar. I thought they were both mediocre. The consistency was on the runny side. The portions are fairly large so that was an upside.

Siobhan C.

So, so, SO good! And the owner is amazing - so warm, friendly, AND the head chef. I had a great mojito and chicken/veggie spring rolls appetizer. It is kind of hidden in the middle/towards the back of a strip mall area at Scottsdale and Shea -- find it; IT IS WORTH IT. The restaurant is small, intimate, dark, and would be a great date spot (however, I was allllll byyy myyyseeeeeellllff). It is a super cute place that I am planning on returning to with my mom in the next week or two. The prices are comparable for North Scottsdale.

Nicole B.

Service is terrable. We went on a Friday night, there was 1 server, 1 bartender, 1 busboy for the whole restaurant.... But, at the end we realized our server was actually the head chef and the owner! Totally changed our view. Do not order a mojito, it's not impressive, I sent mine back. The table next to me was not impressed either. Food on the other hand is delishious. We dinned on the following: Fire roasted Edamame Chicken Satay Yellow chicken curry Pumpkin chicken curry Coconut ice cream Everything was amazing, truly impressive. I highly recommend a visit to this little gem of a place. I would give it 4 Sayra based on the service but, knowing how hard everyone was working I felt bad and have to give them a 5.

This place is my favorite Thai restaurant in the Valley. Let me give you a run down on my visit. As I am walking in I immediately spot the herb garden in the front. We get seated and our waitress takes our drink order. Comes back, drops our drinks off after about 5 minutes. Leaves and comes back a few minutes later to take our appetizer order. We order a Spicy Edamame. Super, super tasty and it is certainly spicy. Thank goodness we were properly taken care of with a glass pitcher of water for us to refill when we needed. After we finished our appetizer our waitress takes our dinner order. I order the spicy noodles, with vegetables instead of chicken (level 3 spicy). Do you see the trend here? Each visit by our waitress was individually catered to a specific need. She didn't take our order while dropping off the appetizer; instead we enjoyed each order. This visit was certainly about the experience--and I loved it because we were celebrating a birthday. The food was homemade--everything, even the noodles. The spices were grown in her garden and the dessert was absolutely fab; homemade coconut ice cream and friend bananas for the table to share. The guest I was with was celebrating a birthday so the owner brought him a drink which was a combination of a mojito and a margarita (Basil-rita), and yes, it, too, was made with fresh basil from her garden. It was delightful. So this place gets 5 very bright stars. The owners came up to our table, talked to us and gave us a mini version of the story behind the place and the waitress was full of life and energy. The place wasn't noisy and it was the atmosphere was not what I expected from the outside. I will return very soon!

My friend and I decided to try Takeda Thai after her reading glowing reviews of this ethnic establishment. So on a weekday lunch we decided to give it a try. At around noon only one other table was occupied. We both decided to order the green curry with chicken as that's one of our favorite Thai dishes. When the dishes were brought out, we were dumbfounded at the small proportions on the plate/bowl..(see accompanying picture- using a spoon for sauce depth reference. The vegetables in the picture look sufficient enough, but that's because I spread the mound of them out in the bowl.) We decided not to bring this issue up but when the check arrived my friend mentioned to the waiter how SMALL the portion was for the price - $7.99 and explained that at Thai House - located very near to this establishment - portions were much more generous - take-out being in a quart container for $9.99. The waiter (who was actually the owner, as he told us) said: "It's a lunch" -although that was not denoted on the menu - which was kind of confusing in itself. Then he said: "You want MORE??? I'm the owner, I can give you all you want." We agreed to that. When the entrÃ©e came out, there was only one entree instead of the expected two - and two plates were put down - his expectation that we would SHARE the one entree!! The portion was just as small. When my friend examined the check, he CHARGED for the additional serving! In addition, we both had Thai tea that ratcheted up the bill another $8. I've usually paid around $2.50 at other Thai restaurants for Thai tea. Needless to say, we won't be going back there - ever! $42. (including tip - don't ask me WHY she left a tip) was way too pricey for an afternoon lunch. I might add that 3 small bowls of soup were ordered for a child that was with us - those at only 65 cents each. One dessert touted as "homemade" - coconut ice cream was $5.95. You can see a picture of that if you type Takeda Thai into Yelp's search bar. Looks like the serving is one scoop :( Post Script....I thought I could add a pic to this review but turns out I can't

Malcolm W.

I went with my date. The waiter was very nice and friendly and was very accommodating when my date asked about the drink menu. I ordered the Pad Thai and I will only comment on my food. As stated, I ordered the Pad Thai with a spice level of 4 (their highest on the menu). My food arrived and the presentation was average, but I'm here for food. I take a bite and I am immediately disappointed. The Pad Thai was sickening sweet! and the "4" spice level I asked for was non-existent. I am not the type to waste food but I left about 80% of my food on my plate and had no desire to take the leftovers home. How bad was my food, well, let's just say I left the restaurant hungry and ate as soon as I returned home. I would not go there again for their overpriced sweet meal. This would be a 1 star if not for the good wait service.

Some of the best Thai food I've had both in and out of Thailand!! The Tom Kah Gai is out of this world. The exec chef was amazingly helpful and awesome with the kids.

I recently moved to the area and was looking for a great Thai restaurant. I am a huge fan of thai food and this place was spectacular!! I will definetely be going back. The service was amazing a long with the atmosphere. I took my boyfriend who is not the biggest fan of thai food but he loved this place! They have a little bit of everything for everyone. I highly recommend ordering the tom kah gah. I love that they serve forbidden rice. Great stuff!!!!

This review is for lunch only. The sevice and food quality is just fine. I ordered the yellow curry chicken lunch special and it was very flavorful. I ordered it spicy 4 out of 5 and it was pretty tame. Heat seekers order the 5. The portions were disappointing. Hot and sour soup served in a tea cup, really? My entree contained maybe 4 small wafer thin pieces of chicken. It came with a reasonable amount of rice, no suprise there. I'm not looking for a gut busting portion by any means but tea cup sized

A really charming place. I can't believe it's been here for two years! The owner was so nice, and went as far as visiting each table and had great conversations with everyone in my party to ensure that our dining experience was as great as we had hoped. Our food was great! I loved the flavors here, and the dishes were all complex and true to their authentic roots. I agree with the other reviews though, that this place needs more servers. We were going out on a Saturday so our party was patient and more than happy to wait. Had this been an intimate dinner date, I'd hope the pace would be quicker. Most of that can be attributed to the fact that the place is short staffed. Hopefully, people will visit this place and change that. :)

Service issues. Especially with the assistant/bus boy/food runner guy, who seemed new and didn't speak English. The supposedly spicy Uncle dish was ordered Thai Hot but served Mild. Bartender had to bring out some hotter chilis, which were good but changed the flavor. Small portions. Pricey. Great wok-edamame. Awful satay. Other things were flavorful. Nice atmosphere.

Fabulous local experience. Elegant atmosphere, impeccable, owner delivered service. It was clear this is a place that thrives on regular local customers who return for the warmth and elegance of the owners. I am a Thai food foodie from the Bay area - everything was lovely. Couldn't have enjoyed my solo dining experience on a business trip weekend anymore. Highly recommend.

Normally, if we walk out of a restaurant feeling hungry ,still, I would give it one star. But the food here is good, actually, a lot better than the other ones I have been to in PHX area. We don't expect to take leftovers home, but need to be able to wait 4-5 hours before we need to look for food again. When we walked out Takeda that day, my husband said, "we got to find something else." I had two restaurants myself in the past. One thing I learned is; if you want your customers to return, you have to at least make sure they are not leaving your restaurant hungry!

This is a great little Thai restaurant! I have to travel to Scottsdale a few times a month and I'm glad I found Takeda Thai. It's walking distance from the hotel that I use and I eat there each time I am in town. I'm working my way through the menu and so far everything is great! Very friendly owners and reasonable prices. I highly recommend it!

Excellent food. Great service. Owned by a couple that truly loves their customers and cares about what's on the plate. Music is good, home made ice cream (coconut) is a great finish. Spicy noodles with Thai basil was awesome. I also had the green curry which was delicious. Definitely going back.

My husband and I visited after reading the great reviews here. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed. The pot stickers were average, I ordered the seafood dish with mussels and shrimp and it had a horrible lake fish taste to it, I only had a couple bites. My vodka drink was tasty, but overall the food was overpriced and I won't go back. The owner was also our waiter and very nice, we just did not enjoy the food.

Angelica V.

For Moulay and Sarah especially: Takeda Thai is a charming Thai cuisine restaurant, tucked away from the main road in Scottsdale. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting, although, it is a smaller space the intimate setting is quite enjoyable. The food was delicious, it was flavorful and full of bold spices! The best part of our experience at Takeda Thai was our interactions with Moulay and Sarah. They were both very charming, sweet and genuinely interested in getting to know their customers and making them feel very welcomed. I would suggest Takeda to anyone looking for a low-key dining spot with great food and terrific service!
(4)
Daniel S.

Takeda Thai has some amazing flavors! However, the atmosphere and service was not as great as it needed to be. I recommend the Phat Thai, it is truly an amazing dish that deserves to be on a cover of a magazine, it was delicious and you can choose your spice level. As for the curry dishes they were a bit salty but still good. Prices are reasonable but the restaurant is quite small and awkward. Also, the service was a bit awkward! Other than that it is worth a try!

Seriously We walked in and were the only ones in the place except for two people at the bar. We were seated by some one in Chef's attire. No one bothered with us for 15 min-we ultimately timed it The individual who seated us was looking periodically right at us A young lady flitted back and forth-bar patron vs Employee At any rate we ultimately walked out Admittedly my wife and myself are in our sixties. The idiot who runs this place should know that means we have money and dine out frequently Prediction: gone within six months

I've been here several times, and have yet to have an experience that I would classify as unpleasant. First, I would have to say that all the comments about the service being slow are 100% accurate. I don't know what it is about the atmosphere here, but everything just goes really slowly. My water glass has never been left empty, but there have been several moments where I wondered where our server was. I've never noticed the longer food prep times that others have mentioned, but I usually expect a slightly longer wait for Thai food in general. The staff is always friendly and sociable. Pricing is definitely an issue here, but its due to the small portions. I've actually not gone here on more than one occasion due to the price point/lack of value on your dollar spent. Menu items I've tried: Beef Salad (excellent, my favorite dish here) Edamame (get their special version, not the plain version) Beef Jerky (a little salty for my taste, more of a seared beef than jerky) Red Curry (just what you would expect, nothing great but not bad) Green Curry (just what you would expect, nothing great but not bad) Panang Curry (just what you would expect, nothing great but not bad) Tom Yum Soup (very good, get it with shrimp) Tom Kha Gai Soup (their best soup, very good with chicken or tofu) Drunken Noodles (excellent, good texture, good spice, great flavor) Pad Thai (love their version, not too sweet, good choice of noodles) Papaya Salad (not very good, I"m more inclined to the Isaan version that's spicier, this version is too sweet for me) Mahi Mahi with Black Mussels (very good, I was pleasantly surprised by this dish, it was an excellent recommendation by the server) I would go back more often, but the portion sizes are small and the location is far away from me. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants good Thai food with a great intimate atmosphere. Bring a little patience with you and you'll be in for an excellent evening.

This was our first visit and I will go back again! I ordered Red Curry Chicken and it was very tasty. My husband ordered Thai Basil Chicken and he was also happy with his dish. Our waiter was prompt with service, polite and very helpful with suggestions. I ordered my dish on the mild side and it was plenty spicy for me. I look forward to eating here again. If you never had Thai food and wanted to try it, I would suggest this place for a few reasons. First, it was very clean. Second, staff will answer all your questions and help you with your selection. Third, food is served in a timely manner, hot and fresh.

If perchance you're one of the many Scottsdale residents who believe Malee's is the only place for good Thai, think again. You have another choice, it's Takeda. Takeda's dishes, the result of generational family recipes prepared by the owner rival anything on Malee's menu and, I don't have to drive half a city away for it. Last night I tried Uncle Som's something or other. It was splendid. I went with two and a half on the heat scale. I don't recommend this level of spice unless you're a seasoned pepper aficionado, one who routinely eats raw habaneros. My wife typically orders the same dish each visit, the green curry. Spicy and wonderfully delightful. But the coup de gras is their 'forbidden' rice. We were informed how this rice got it's name from the King of Thailand who apparently forbade anyone to eat it except for him. What an asshole, right? Well it's a damned good thing someone smuggled the shit out of Thailand and got it into Scottsdale, where now, I can eat it at will. Purple in color, short in grain, and when cooked to al-dente perfection, has a unique flavor all unto itself, never having tasted anything like it before. The best way to describe it is this: If I was King (Scottsdale), I'd command Ken Singh of Singh Farms to grow this stuff for me, and only me. Nobody would ever get to try it. Well, maybe my wife if she was nice to me for a change and not alla-time smarting-off. I'd let Ken Singh keep some for his trouble, but not very much. And that's it... no-one else. Well, maybe Takeda. Yeah, probably Takeda, since they already know how to cook it and all. But that's it. No-one else. The rest of you would be shit out of luck. Why I'd even post up security guards to make sure the kitchen help doesn't try weaseling off with their pockets loaded. And all of you? Forget it. Nobody gets to try my forbidden rice. Nobody. Why, I wouldn't even let you SEE it. Not without paying a cover charge or something. But sadly, I'm not the King of Scottsdale. Shit. Go to Takeda. Eat the forbidden rice and know, you're eating something that only a few hundred years ago in Thailand would have probably gotten your head chopped-off or something.

Typically, a Thai restaurant is in a run-down center between the karate studio & the tattoo parlor. Not the case here! The place is elegant - from the front entrance to the beautiful restrooms. And the food is terrific! Moulay is there to guide you and he is absolutely charming. And the menu is completely different from other Thai places. The items on the menu come from Moulay's wife's family and are both interesting and delicious.

Been there twice now... Pro's - soup that comes with the lunch special is really tasty - the two dish's I've had we're good but a little dry (leaving as a pro just because the taste and quality is good) - nice cozy atmosphere Con's - potential for slow service Let me explain the one con I made. The two times I have been there there appears to be only one server for the whole restaurant (at least at lunch). He did great, but I did wait a smidge though; that's my issue since I and others probably are conditioned for blazing fast service. So be patient, the food and the fella doing the serving are good.

The food was OK, not great. Lettuce wraps difficult to eat with tiny pieces of romaine. The waitress talked me out of my fried rice dish to one she recommended and was not like any fried rice I've ever had and not something I would order again. Terrible wine list, one red, one white. The service was excellent , but the food and portions probably won't prompt a quick return. This was much better the last time we were there. The owner/chef was very charming and I hope they are successful. ,

First I will say, this is a nice atmosphere and the food was fine. But for the price, the portion size, the $2 upcharge for brown rice (on top of the price for the lunch) and the very slow service at lunch, this is what brings me to the lower rating. I've been to other Thai places here in the Valley, that the food has a little more flavor, the portions are better, the service faster, and no additional charges for a different kind of rice. Give it a try, but don't expect a lot.

Overpriced. The pad Thai noodles were mushy, brown rice was very bland and dry. The 3 season chicken was deep fried and seemed to be thrown in with pineapples and green peppers were sparse. Portions small for amount charged. Best dish was the glass noodle salad, which did not have enough lettuce. Server asked how food was, we told him not good and he thought we were joking. Gave him input, but they did not seem to care. Save your money and go elsewhere.

I've been fortunate to enjoy great Thai cooking in Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles and London. This place totally rates way up there. The food was fresh, classic and prepared to the exact level of slickness I requested. I'm psyched about the location, which is close to our new home in Scottsdale. Easy parking. Classy decor. Heck yeah, I'm going to make this place a regular haunt. Oh, and one more thing: I ordered my food on a Sunday at closing time. No problem. They kept the kitchen open for me and gave me fantastic service.

Best Thai place ever! Everything is fantastic-my favorite is the korobe ultimate fried rice!

It doesn't have the obligatory framed picture of the Thai royal family on the wall but I'm wiling to let it slide. This menu offers a fresh take on the solid staples that we love. I love the Pad Thai here and not just because it is endorsed by Howard Seftel.

Good addition to the restaurant scene in Scottsdale; however, this restaurant is somewhat hard to find since it is set back from Scottsdale Road. The service was good, the atmosphere was nice and the food was quite tasty albeit quite spicy. Our server warned us, but I wasn't prepared for how spicy it would really be - be warned!

Thinking to spend the evening in a restaurant for a long talk to catch up with your old friends, this will be your place. The restaurant is located at the intersection of scottsdale & shea .... when you drove by, it is very easy to spot as this is probably the only restaurant / shop open in the plaza. Inside out, the ambience of the restaurant is great if you can overlook the shopping center is kind of run-down. It doesn't look like your typical thai restaurant. It has low light and very chic deco, quite a cute place I must say in term of ambience. In term of food, the quality is a OK ... nothing to wow about. Ordered basil beef and the uncle som's seafood ... both are good traditional thai food. It's good but nothing out of the ordinary, both the cut of meat and seafood are not great ... I can get the same quality of dishes at another Thai restaurant right around the corner for 50% off their price. This is not a place for the value of food, rather, the price you pay is more for the ambience. And I must agree with my fellow yelpers that the service is SLOW ... yes, I do undersand that everything is made to order ... but honestly, so do any other thai restaurant. Thai food is not something you can pre-cook anyway. And in term of slow, it's not only in the kitchen, also the front end service. Our server was slow , not in term of time to place order and checking ... but he was slow to understand ... or he was plain ignoring what was requested. I asked for the pepper tray THREE times .... still no pepper tray when I paid the bill. And he got the bill wrong and I kindly pointed that out to him, and he brought back the exact same bill :-\ ... not the kind of service I would expect in this type of restaurant. Overall, good place to spend the evening to have long conversation and have decent food with good atmosphere if you are willing to pay for the ambience

went tonight with a call in order, Spring rolls, pot stickers and chicken pad thai. .met the very nice owner and the food was exceptional!

They use fresh ingredients every day, and you can taste the difference between this and other Thai restaurants. The quality is great and although it is a couple bucks more than what you would normally spend, it is worth it. The atmosphere and interior is much nicer than you would expect at a Thai restaurant as well. If you dine-in, their presentation is surprisingly well done. I really like their Panang Curry here, best I've tried... ever. Their Pad Thai is nothing special, though... I think ours had like 2 total pieces of shrimp. Pretty solid overall.

I've had about every five star yelp rated Thai food in Orange and LA county, California, and this place is blows them all away. I only yelp when something is so compelling, that it warrants me to log in and write. I made a one day trip to Scottsdale to stop by a jewelry store. My wife and I decided to try out this place because it was in the same complex. We were blown away. I had to personally shake the chef's hand for preparing food that was simply unrivaled.

Amber M.

Having visited this place several times in the past year, I have been meaning to Yelp and finally got around to it. Takeda Thai's Tom Kha Gai soup is the best I have had. I enjoyed it so much the first time that I came in the next night and ordered another bowl. It is the first thing I order, sometimes even before I decide on my drink. I love that it is locally and independently owned. I also think Pete (our usual server/bartender) does an awesome job. The Pad Thai is not my most favorite-maybe because I like mine with tons of sauce,green onions, lime, and cilantro and Takeda Thai's is more restrained. I think the Green Curry is fresh, light, and perfectly seasoned. I also love the Pad See Yew. I wish they would offer Moroccan Tea ALL the time- if Moulay had this available daily, I would be there daily. It was a life changing tea experience. I have to settle for the Thai Iced Tea, which is good, but not nearly as delicious. Overall, I love supporting my neighborhood and avoiding the chain restaurants and am always satisfied here.

Lola S.

A hidden jem! Quiet, nice atmosphere with very attentive service. Pad Thai was delicious and the thai basil with shrimp with fresh veggies and a flavorful broth that I wanted to drink! We finished off the meal with coconut and chocolate chunck ice cream! I will be back!

Scott L.

I've been doing well by visiting Yelp reviewed places so that is how I found Takeda Thai. A little difficult to find as it is set back quite a ways from the SE corner of Shea & Scottsdale. I entered for lunch and two white guys were working the tables. Nice interior, food was tasty and fast, but seriously small portions. Then again the lunch special only costs $7.95 which gets you a main and a soup. I had the spicey noodles (Phad kee mow) with chicken at 3 stars (out of 4 possible). It was tasty and I enjoyed it, seemed slightly reserved on heat but they probably didn't want to offend anyone and I still enjoyed it very much. Where the rip is on the drinks as they charged $2.95 for a soft drink. Add 20% for tip and it pushed it to over $14. That's just not good value and it hit me wrong.

Takeda Thai is very good at interior decorating, but not actually preparing well made Thai food. If you really know authentic Thai food you will not be happy here. Those that don't know better may be OK with the food here. The Thai Beef Salad was very disappointing. Very salty, overly seasoned, and not tasty. The beef itself was hard and chewy. This can be such a wonderful dish when prepared correctly. The Tom Yum chicken soup I ordered 2/4 stars on the spice level, was incredibly spicy- focusing on hot spice rather than balanced flavor. We walked out with a $35 bill and still very hungry, as we barely ate 1/4 of our feed before just giving up and leaving. Truly an expensive and greatly disappointing dining experience.

Came back for a second time and had the spring rolls, eggplant zucchini and panang (sp?) curry w/ brown rice. Definitely a 5-star experience! Everything was delicious, service was fast and SO friendly. Lovin Takeda!

Pamela G.

I love when I am in Scottsdale on business so I can stop in the is place for lunch or early dinner! Ambiance is very nice and cozy. The food is made fresh and actually taste like it! Great place for a date too! I would only say that it can be a little expensive, but it is right in line with the cost of dinning in that area! Worth it for me!

Rachel S.

Delicious food, extraordinary service, pristine/nice/casual environment. I LOVE this place...the food, the owners, the staff, etc. A+++ The only criticism is that the portions are somewhat small, especially the amount of protein/meat. I think the shrimp should be a larger size too. I'd eat there any day though...can't get enough of the place! I've only had dinner there, but I'd love to do lunch...your treat?!

Clearly the people who gave Takeda one or two stars must be hired by the competition. I travel to Thailand twice a year and have been longing for quality Thai food locally in the valley. I am happy to say I found it. The food was exceptional, delicious and the restaurant was cozy and clean. I have added Takeda to my list of top ten favorites in the valley. The staff was well trained, polite and courteous and the owner, Sara, actually came to our table to have a chat. Impressive, a business owner who actually cares about her customers. If you are not a fan of spicy food, don't be turned off, Thai food does not have to be all spicy, simply tell the waiter how you like it and order accordingly. My favorite dessert when i season, Mangoes and Sticky Rice. Takeda serves it and it was excellent. I also recommend the Thai ice tea, its actually better than some of the Thai ice teas iv'e had in Thailand. Only one comment and a suggestion, they might want to consider a different lettuce for their lettuce wraps, hard to wrap with long pieces of lettuce, iceberg might have been easier, otherwise the filling was excellent and I'm coming back.

Lisa L.

Every visit---amazing. I always look forward to my next visit. Consistency is excellent and it's on my Top 5 list of restaurants I visit regularly now. The Tom Kha Gai is still my absolute favorite, as is the Chicken Panang Curry. Delicious---and the service is always tops!
(5)
Nicole O.

Food was great! Panang curry, papaya salad and spicy noodles (pad kee mow) were all great! Entree prices (fish) were super high so we didn't order those, but would I imagine they would be good. They didn't give us enough rice for the curry, but gave us extra rice at no extra cost when we asked. Hope this good place is still here next time I am back in Scottsdale!
(4)
Melissa S.

This is now our favorite Thai place in the valley, and even though we live on the other side of town, we have been there several times. The owners are very friendly and the atmosphere is elegant without being snobby. Tom Ka Gai soup is the best. I'm not a Thai food expert, but I'd say this place is one of the best you'll find. Highly recommended!

Jenna M.

The food is very good but the portions are small and they charge you for rice. Even the white rice which is a bit ridiculous. Prices are definitely on the high side and should include rice.

Craig W.

So the first thing that strikes you when you walk in is that this is a beautiful restaurant. You can't help but be seduced. We were greeted warmly at the door, seated immediately and given water and menus promptly. Each of the staff came through and introduced themselves, our server Rebecca tells us this is a family operation and apparently so because her mother and step-father (guessing here but probably got enough info to make this accurate) eventually come through, introduce themselves, offer to help with menu selections and we all feel welcome and well attended. Food was very solid...rib appetizers, awesome. Green papaya salad was entirely tasty, but not spicy. Pad Thai and Thai Basil were not my choices but I certainly wasn't complaining either. Food was well prepared, pacing was perfect, rice was perfect. If I had one complaint, it's simply the prices which just seem to be more than I would have to spend elsewhere in a good Thai restaurant (though I'm not going to name any names for comparison). Price setting is a marketing decision that they have made and perhaps given their location, decor, quality of food, many will think their pricing is reasonable but I don't. Food, staff, experience all say 5 stars, pricing says no and that's my opinion.

Karen E.

We've been to Takeda Thai the last two weekends for dinner - couldn't ask for a more perfect dining experience BOTH times. Service was excellent, peartini's were "to die for", and every dish - from appetizers to dessert -was an absolute delight. We recommend the muscle appetizer and ANY curry ( especially the jungle curry), and Pad Thai. The Jasmine tea we had with dessert was fantastic. We are from the San Francisco Bay Area, and were so happy to find such amazing asian cuisine so far from home. You don't need a day job Moulay .... this is your true calling. Karen and James

Jason M.

Let me just add to the list of good reviews here...I've been to this place twice now and both times the experience has been great. The staff, 5 stars...ambiance gets 4.5 stars...and the food a solid 4. The food is tasty and worth coming back for. I think the dinner menu is a tad bit high compared to what I'm used to paying back in San Diego for the same quality. While the price is higher than what I'm used to, I think they are spot on for the area, so keep that in mind when reading my criticism on the matter. The lunch menu has some great specials on it though, so I would highly suggest checking that out if on a budget. Anyone on the search for a good Pad Thai should give this place a shot. I've tried several places since getting into Scottsdale and this is the best as of yet. I'll be making this place a regular destination.

Ed E.

I want to first say my girlfriend and I went to this restaurant because I know the owner Moulay. I also read the other Yelp comments beforehand so I was prepared. We both loved it. Food was excellent (I had the pad Thai and it was probably the best pad Thai I've ever had), the surroundings were great and the staff was very attentive. This would be a great place for a date.
(5)
Gina C.

The food and the service was the absolute best. If you are looking for a nice place for an intimate dinner with friends or family this is the place to go. I was very impressed with the delicious quality of the food. Perfectly sized portions so you can still enjoy dessert. I had the fried bananas and Ice cream. This dessert has such an amazing flavor that absolutely nobody should miss out on. I had the lettuce wraps for an appetizer which was deliciously flavored and for the main course I had the Spicy Noodle dish with pork when I took the first bite all I could think was WOW! A good way to describe this restaurant in three words is love, care and quality. You are missing out if you don't give this place a whirl. You will not be disappointed.

New restaraunt in Scottsdale ... tucked back off Scottsdale Road just south of Shea on the East side fo the road. A little hard to find ... WELL worth the effort. Moulay and his wife have worked to change what was previously an old golf shop into a stylish, modern place. Comfortable and easy to relax here. The food was GREAT. Very fresh, unique flavor combinations and all selections well done, nicely presented and right sized portions. Anyone liking great Thai food will LOVE this place. When I asked for 8 out of 10 heat, I got exactly what I expected. Moulay was in the restaraunt along with his wife and they talked freely with me about their concept in opening the restaraunt and what came through loud and clear was their commitment to making dishes fresh when they are ordered. The concept is executed wonederfully I would highly recommend Takeda Thai ... great price, excellent value and a meal you will enjoy and return for often.

This restaurant is pretty...but not dazzling as some other reviewers have indicated. When we came here on a Saturday night, I was surprised to see that other patrons had clearly put on their best sparkley outfits just to dine here. This is in a strip mall, people. Perhaps I'm spoiled by the many upscale Asian restaurants in Minneapolis where you can eat, drink, dance, mingle and lounge in your best outfit all night long. On to the food... First of all, why doesn't Takeda Thai have fresh spring rolls? This was my first disappointment. I settled for the lettuce wraps for my appetizer instead - which they happily veganized for me - making it with with tofu rather than chicken. The flavors and textures were really blah though. I wouldn't recommend that appetizer to anyone. I shared my main entree with my boyfriend, not realizing how teeny-tiny the serving would be. We had the Thai Basil with tofu. The flavors were amazing. Although,sadly, the entire dish was made up of about 6 pieces of tofu and 6 thin slices of red pepper. I would've been a lot more impressed with this dish if there were more vegetables involved. When the dish was set in front of us, I actually felt misled by the menu's description. I also think the up-charge for brown rice here is a little ridiculous...but at least they offer it. Our server was spectacular. He knew we were in from out of town and did his best to impress us. At the end of our meal, he asked us how we enjoyed ourselves, and I didn't have the heart to tell him that Yelp's phrase was ringing in my head..."meh, I've experienced better".

So I'm a retired chile researcher among other things. Their heat scale goes from 1-5. They said some crazy man asked for 45. Not to be outdone I went 60. Incredible! Soups, lettuce rolls (Laarb), spicy noodles, homemade coconut ice cream etc and every dish we've had is authentic, tasty and served by the friendliest people imaginable (Sarah). Don't just go there, run there. It's a beautiful place too.

Laura R.

Had to jump in for beauty supplies next door w me mum so the outside of this place really caught my eye! We decided to stop for a bite. It was a late lunch maybe 4 tables were occupied the place felt a tad small inside so we opted to have the patio all to ourselves. Waiter was nice and helpful. I ordered the Pad Thai w shrimp and my mom did the red curry. The shrimp were a nice plump size they were cooked perfectly, I wish there would have been more shrimp on the plate but ce est lavie. The veggies were nice and fresh I thought it was very flavorful compared to other places I've tried Thai food. Not too many places have even left an impression on me the food is usually pretty bland. I tried my moms red curry and it was delicous. The Thai Tea was awesome I wish I had one right now. It was good I will return!

Kathy G.

The food here is delicious, fresh, with high quality ingredients. They do not skimp out here. I always order the pot stickers. the wrapper is very nice and tenderly steamed. The dumpling on the inside lacks a little bit of flavor, but to me, that's okay, because the dipping sauce that comes with it is so good and well balanced with acidity and spicy chilies. I LOVE LOVE LOVE their Red Curry with chicken. I like it pretty spicy, but if you don't they can make it any way you want it. They also give you extra chili sauce on the side that you can add. The jasmine rice here is perfectly cooked and fragrant. If you drink here your bill can add up pretty quick. It isn't inexpensive, but for the quality it is worth it. The restaurant is in a strip mall and you would never know it's there otherwise. When you walk in through the curtains, it is a quaint space with asian decor. The staff is stellar and very helpful with the menu if you have questions about anything.

Ray R.

I have been here a few times. The pad thai is good here, and I would recommend the food. The restaurant is decorated nicely and has good curb appeal. The service has always been very slow. The wait staff isn't quick to refill water or do anything really, and the food takes 30-45 minutes to come out (and it wasn't busy). This isn't a good place to go if you have a limited amount of time.

Austin S.

I want to give this place 4 stars, but overall the food just wasn't 4 star caliber. Started off with the crab fritter things and the tempura shrimp. Neither were that good...the crab fritters were more or less just a really garlic-y creamy filled deep fried pocket and the the batter of the tempura shrimp was pretty oily and thick. For the main courses I tried the pad thai, chicken panang, and the pepper garlic tofu. The pad thai was typical but it was served with skinny noodles similar to spaghetti...personally I prefer the wider, almost a smaller fettuccine type noodle with pad thai. The pepper garlic was pretty tasty and the veggies on that dish were the best part. The most memorable part was the chicken panang. Served with rice...it was rich and coconutty and really tasty. Actually it could have been a little spicier, but it was definitely the best thing I had that night. The service was great and the restaurant had a great atmosphere. The more I think about it, the main courses were a little bit above average taste wise, but I think the problem for me was that it was the most expensive Thai place I have been to. You weren't really getting that much more for the higher price point. However, I most likely will be back.

We've been here a few times and have never been disappointed by the food. I love the Eggplant and zucchini in black bean sauce with chicken. It is flat out delicious. The pad thai isn't my favorite though. Ordered with a "5" heat factor it was more sweet than hot but my companion didn't seem to mind (although he did agree that my dish was better). We overheard another patron complain about her food being too hot. This prompted the owner to come around to each table and inquire if anyone else felt their fare was overly spiced. We happily disagreed and said if anything we thought it wasn't hot enough! I liked that the owner checked it out before going back to the complainer and letting her know (politely) that she was the only one in the place that was unhappy. THe only complaint I had was the wait. Someone must have called in sick because there was only one server for the whole place! The bartender was helping out but it all took way too long. I like the place, so I will be back and hope more staff is on when i go.

Finally a great Thai place in Scottsdale. Have tried most of the curries there but keep on coming back for Red Curry with soft tofu. It is top notch !!

Travis K.

The inside looked much better than the outside. It has a nice quaint setup, but they need some work on atmosphere. AC was a bit cold and the lighting was very dim. The food was fine, but the wait is very long. They told us everything was made from scratch, but I think that is code for "expect a long wait." Price is high and I left still hungry. My vote, look elsewhere for Thai food.

Holly P.

Never walked out on a restaurant before. We waited 45 min and still no food. When they did bring something out, it was wrong. The food was over priced (by the look of the food on the other tables). Ended up going to Thai house around the corner and was super pleased.

I'm visiting Scottsdale from Seattle and I'm very familiar with Asian cuisine. The appetizers were stellar, the dinner was fantastic and the atmosphere and service was first class. If you desire great Thai food at a good price, you can't miss with Takeda.

Rosalyn W.

Don't be fooled by a pretty face. Every review I've read about Takeda Thai raves about the fancy facade and upscale interior of this small strip mall restaurant. I think belief is suspended at the door, as most reviewers go on to praise the food. Phoenix Magazine even rated it one of the 23 best new restaurants in its October issue. That actually is my reason for writing this entry - to give a dissenting view. For lunch today, we ordered pad thai ($7.95 from the lunch menu, $13.95 at dinner), garlic mini pork ribs ($10.95) and angel wings ($11.95) from the appetizer section. Our very nice waitress brought us two bowls of soup instead of the one we were entitled to. It was a mild chicken soup with a few vegetables and some tofu floating in it. OK, certainly not notable. Then the rest of the dishes came out. I was truly shocked by the plate of riblets. There were 6 tiny riblets on a bed of wilted lettuce. Remember, these cost $10.95!!! They had been fried to death and had no garlic taste. I looked closely at the lettuce and noticed a few bits of overly browned garlic sprinkled on it. These clearly had never touched the ribs. This was downright insulting. The portion size of the angel wings was somewhat better. Angel wings are large chicken wings which have been boned and stuffed with vegetables, minced chicken and glass noodles, then fried and sliced. Like the riblets, these had been overcooked and were totally dried out. The insipid "sweet and sour chili dip" tasted only of sugar, and dunking the slices of wing in it did not revive them. Somehow the "chef" even managed to turn out dry pad thai with a horrible fishy back taste. When our waitress came over and asked which was our favorite thing, the only answer I could give was "the service". Our cost, even with a 10% discount coupon, came to $40. I guess I could give the restaurant and its reviewers the benefit of the doubt and say that perhaps since it was lunch time a talented chef was not on duty. However, if that's the case, and no one better than the person who was in the kitchen could be found, then lunch should not be served The only review I read that got it even partly right was from AZ Central. It said "the kitchen assumes you don't want to play with fire, so everything here is mild enough to feed a newborn." I hope you won't think I'm a grouch, but I did want to warn you.

Karis K.

A co-worker and I were in from out of town and decided to try out this place based on some of the reviews we read on Yelp. I'll have to say that I wasn't that impressed. First off, let me say that the service was very good. Our waiter always kept our drink glasses full and was very attentive. Now on to the food... We decided to start off with Lettuce Wraps. They were very good...although a little spicier than I would have expected for a "2" out of "5" spice level. I ordered the grilled shrimp with the thai peanut sauce. It took a while for the food to come out and when it did the food was lukewarm. The shrimp tasted like it had been pre-cooked and then tossed on the grill to heat it up a bit. It was very dry. The veggies were steamed but cool and the Thai peanut sauce was also on the cool side. The brown rice was pretty dry and a little tough to choke down. Definitely not worth the $17.95 for the dish. My friend got the Thai Basil with chicken - I tried a couple of bites and wasn't that impressed. I was very suprised at the small portion sizes - I would have exprected more for the price we paid. Unfortunately, I can't give this place another chance since I don't live in Scottsdale but even if I did live there I can't say that I would go back anytime soon.

Went with some friends last night after reading the rave reviews about it in the Phoenix Magazine. The decor is super cute from the outside and the inside. Our server was very nice and extremely helpful. The presentation of the food was really nice but the food was no better than other Thai food I have had. We started with the pot stickers. They were small but with six per the order, they were tasty. We ordered the green curry, yellow curry, Tom khai Gha soup, and the Pad See Ew noodles for dinner. All were good. I am not a huge spice person but I tasted no heat at level 2 and thought level 3 was too hot. But, it may just be me. We had fun and will most likely go back if we get a craving for Thai.

Excellent! I really hope word of mouth gets around, because this is a very cute, good quality restaurant worthy of a long and prosperous existence. The service was good, water was refilled promptly, and the owner was friendly. The decor is elegant and more modern than most Thai restaurants I've visited. The food is reasonably priced, with a good variety of vegetarian and meat dishes. I went with the Spicy Noodles served medium. They had just the right amount of heat. The sticky rice with mangoes was light and flavorful. I'm looking forward to stopping by for lunch sometime soon.

Concierge suggested this place. What a great suggestion! Went with my wife and another couple. We all ordered something different and all shared at the waiter's suggestion. Waiter, Peter, was a terrific waiter and gave us excellent service. All food is made fresh so it takes a few minutes but is worth the wait. We ordered the pad Thai, firecracker chicken, mango curry, pad prik. All four were great. We ordered them in a couple of heat levels just to see the difference. Two is nice and spicy three is pretty hot. We've been to some great Thai places in NJ & NY and this place is just as good. If you like Thai, don't miss this place

Takeda Thai is delish!!! I've been eating here for two years now and I can't get enough of their food! As a person of Thai decent, I have been to Thailand numerous times and the authentic food that is served at this restaurant really gives me that 'homey' feeling. Also, I can't say enough about how beautiful this restaurant is!! Although it is tucked away in an older/less-flashy part of Scottsdale, this cozy restaurant is decorated with classic Thai art which provides a wonderfully romantic and classy ambiance. Such a great date-place! :) Anyway, as far as food is concerned.. I haven't found a dish that I don't LOVE- the curry is on point (all flavors), firecracker chicken is to die for, pad-thai is a classic, and the thai basil and spicy noodles are delish!! Any of those paired with a Thai iced tea or Thai beer is a sure bet!! ALSO- If you're looking for an EXTRA SPECIAL TREAT- try the HOMEMADE coconut ice cream or banana spring rolls! DELISH DELISH!

Takeda Thai is the best Thai food I have found in Scottsdale. The restaurant has a fantastic ambiance and the owners are both very friendly and attentive. They have a great variety of items on the menu and the dishes are very reasonably priced. The website takedathai.com has a coupon for 10% off your entire meal. Go there, eat, and enjoy!

The food here is simply amazing! The service is fantastic. The owners do a great job of getting to know you and cater to your hunger. The pad thai and curries are so delicious. I love coming here with my family. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great and fun time as they eat phenomenal food.

Stopped by here while passing through Phoenix based on the reviews here and elsewhere. Top-notch Thai food in a very elegant setting. The owner/hosts couldn't have been more wonderful.
