Ayothaya Thai Cafe

Food/Taste/Flavor: 4/5 - the food was great! Do note that this is not the "usual" Thai flavor as it seems like they had more Northern Thai influence which is more similar to Burmese food. Basil Fried Rice with pork at spicy level 2. This dish was super generous with the bell peppers which gave a nice refreshing bite. The rice is a bit more oily and salty but was very reminiscent of my SO's childhood food especially with the basil chili oil mixed with the rice. Gaeng Deang (Red Curry) with pork at spicy level 2. Heavy coconut cream flavor but was quite spicy at level 2! The pork was a bit dry but the curry/soup was wonderful and we could just drink the whole thing if it wasn't so heavy Ambience: 4/5 - decoration seems thrown together with different Asian items that didn't seem cohesive. Store seems very clean but did smell of cleaning products and herb/citrus combination Service: 5/5 - came around 7:30 PM on a Sunday night so the store was fairly empty. The waitress was super friendly and smiley! Even though her English wasn't the best, she was very attentive and checked up on us a few times to make sure we enjoyed the food and had everything we needed. Value for price: 5/5 - delicious food and friendly service!

Great, tasty food! We had dinner here after spending the night in Payson. It's close to our hotel. I saw the sign on the side of the road and decided to google. No regrets! Satay have 5 sticks, when it's normally just 3 sticks around Phoenix area for the same price. Panang chicken is soooo good. Definitely worth a try. We always tell them mild or #1 spicy rate. It's just perfect!

Food was good. Server was very friendly and welcoming. I got the Thai iced tea which was awesome. The Philippine Fried rice with beef was good as well. The Vietnam Fried rice was also delicious. Lots of crab and shrimp in the meal. The Tom Yum Gai soup was flavorful. I would recommend this place. The service was above and beyond.

Pretty decent place, one of the few thai food in the area and if you are looking for some Thai food then definitely pick this place. Taste was good but some ingredients were not portioned well like basil thai fried rice was lacking rice and basil however it was bombarded with bellpeppers for some reason. Food Seemed a bit overpriced especially the appetizer we ordered (Curry puffs) was not made authentically and was less in portion. I loved that they have the hot sauce on the table. Overall, I would say if you like thai food just go for it.

Loved this so much that we joked it would be worth the drive to come here from Mesa just to eat here! We were seated immediately at 5PM and were happily surprised to see many customers already enjoying food--a good sign for a restaurant! The curry puffs were delicious (loved by my 1 year old, too), and I loved the chicken satay skewers as well. Our waitress was AMAZING and explained the various menu options to us and was very attentive, but not overly so. They had live music the night we were there.

Love the lunch specials! The food is fresh and delicious. We eat there frequently and have always been pleased. Just one note, I ask to replace the fried chicken in the cashew chicken dish with grilled.

I've had order a Grand Mum Chicken. Taste of the food is the best the combination of ingredients and sauce is perfect. I'm feel like home <3

Amazing food and amazing server. The food is perfectly spiced. The Khao Soi is awesome and worth a second visit. We were a group of 10 and yet the service was fast and every single dish was loved by everyone.
